The ball became a black blur in midair!
Fierce and domineering!
Razor-sharp!
Like a boulder smashing through Rome's walls!
It howled toward Roma's goal!
Goalkeeper Szczęsny had no time to make a save!
Before the match, the goalkeeping coach had shown him highlight reels of the Chinese youngster's violent long-range shots.
Only when he faced one himself—
Did he truly understand the terror of that savage cannon shot!
Bang!
The ball slammed heavily into the crossbar with an explosive boom!
It felt as if the entire Apennine Peninsula had trembled.
Roma's goal frame shook violently!
Even if Szczęsny had screamed "Holy Mother Maria" ten thousand times in his heart—
He still could not alter the ball's trajectory!
The ball dropped into Roma's net.
0:1!!!
Olympic Stadium fell deathly silent.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment!
The eyes of tens of thousands of Roma fans simultaneously shifted back to the scorer.
That young Bayer Leverkusen number 10 was like the War God of Rome from years ago!
The secret sense of superiority buried deep in their hearts vanished completely.
"It's in!"
"Beautiful!"
"Unbelievable!"
"Unthinkable!"
"The Chinese youngster Leo Kang forced open a shooting angle in the most unreasonable way possible!"
"He blasted the goal with a terrifying cannon shot, breached Roma's fortress, and gave Bayer Leverkusen the lead!"
Duan Xuan and He Wei were nearly incoherent.
In their eyes—
How had Leo Kang, who was not particularly powerfully built, sent the towering and imposing De Rossi and Rüdiger flying?
Didn't that fucking violate the laws of physics?
De Rossi and Rüdiger climbed to their feet and exchanged a look.
Their eyes were filled with shock.
How could that kid's explosive speed and physicality be so insane? He was a beast!
Rüdiger rubbed his slightly numb left shoulder.
