"My God! That kid!!!"

"Unbelievable, it's his debut, and he pulls off such a shocking, earth-shattering volley!!!"

"My God, that is absolutely the craziest volley I have ever seen. Did you hear the sound of that strike? That kid could have kicked the ball into pieces!"

"Too crazy!! Unbelievable!!!"

The Boca Juniors fans in the stands were celebrating wildly!

Although they were still trailing, there were forty minutes left to play!

They were the great Boca Juniors!

They could definitely pull this back.

On the pitch at this moment!

The instant the ball smashed into the back of the net!

Accompanied by the frantic roars of the entire stadium, the blood that had been as calm as water in Su Bai's veins suddenly felt as if it had been ignited.

This was the top league in Argentina!

The hysterical shouting on the pitch!

All of this!!!

This was the real stage!!

Barrios, Avila, and Pérez.

All of his Boca teammates rushed toward Su Bai in a frenzy.

Right in front of the Boca south stand.

While sprinting at full speed, Su Bai bent his knees!

He completed a stylish knee-slide celebration in front of the countless delirious Boca fans!

Su Bai slightly bent his left arm and then performed an archery motion!

And the response the fans gave Su Bai was even more frantic cheering!

Fans are the easiest people to satisfy; this single goal was enough.

It instantly caused all the doubts about his age and experience to vanish into thin air.

On the sidelines, Xie Luotuo was dancing with excitement after seeing Su Bai, the player he had just subbed on, change the score with his very first touch.

"Haha, did you see that? Almeida! This guy is a genius!"

"That shot just now was brilliant!!!"

"He is absolutely a gift sent to me by God!"

On the other side, Tucuman Athletic head coach Magiar had lost the calm and collected smile he wore just moments ago.

He hadn't expected Boca to have such a secret weapon!

However, Magiar only felt a little surprised.

After all, that volley was purely because the kid was lucky enough to be in that spot!

Tucuman Athletic was still leading by two goals!

He didn't believe that Tucuman Athletic, a team adept at parking the bus, could capsize while leading by two goals.

The Boca Juniors celebration didn't last long.

They were still trailing!

Team captain Pérez quickly called his teammates back to their own half.

The referee also blew the whistle to restart the match in a timely manner!

Still in the lead, Magiar on the sidelines pressed his hands downward, signaling his players to stabilize the current rhythm of the game.

Tucuman Athletic, not committing too many men to the attack, was quickly dispossessed by Boca Juniors.

Positional play had never been Tucuman Athletic's strength!

Pérez, having received the ball, did not hesitate to pass it back to the newly-scored Su Bai.

Su Bai began his second dribbling run down the right flank.

However!

It seemed they were already starting to get familiar with Su Bai's attacking habits.

This time, Bilalva didn't leave anyone to mark Su Bai one-on-one.

He let the winger Lucas press first, and then, after forcing Su Bai to pull the ball to the sideline, he lunged into a sliding tackle!

He cleared the ball directly out of bounds.

This successful defensive play earned a thumbs-up from Magiar, who was standing right in front of Su Bai and the others, toward his captain.

Su Bai picked up the ball and threw it back to Pérez.

However, what surprised him slightly was that Bilalva, who had just tackled the ball from his feet, was still right beside him.

This guy!!!

He truly lived up to his reputation as the captain of Tucuman Athletic.

His defensive experience was rich, and his tackles were decisive.

But!

Isn't that what makes it more interesting?

Su Bai looked at Bilalva, who was hovering around him, and smiled excitedly.

After receiving the ball, Pablo Pérez saw that the opponent had focused their defensive pressure on Su Bai.

He had no choice but to change direction and pass the ball to the left flank!

Without Bilalva's interference, Boca's attack on the left began to take shape!

In the fifty-fourth minute of the match!

Boca Juniors' left winger Martinez, after shaking off two Tucuman Athletic defenders in succession, sent a long cross into the penalty area!

The team's striker, Avila, who was charging forward frantically, leaped high and delivered a header.

The ball zipped rapidly toward the Tucuman Athletic goal, but it was headed too centrally and was safely gathered into the arms of Tucuman Athletic goalkeeper Martin Hughes.

Possessing a specialty for powerful long throws, Martin Hughes immediately launched the ball toward the front court.

It was the same routine as before.

Maroni received the ball and began the counterattack.

Fortunately, Barrios, who had been covering in the backfield, intercepted and snatched the ball from Maroni's feet in time!

Having completed the steal, Barrios pushed the ball horizontally to Pablo Pérez, who had dropped back to support!

After carrying it a few steps and crossing the center circle, Tucuman Athletic's small-range press swarmed in again.

And at this moment!

Bilalva, who had been marking Su Bai, also closed in.

Without hesitation, Pablo Pérez threaded a diagonal pass!

To the right!

He was looking for Su Bai again!

At this moment!

Su Bai was left completely unmarked.

He received the ball with his right foot, nudged it forward, and then pushed off the turf with his left!

Su Bai began a frantic sprint down the right flank!

With a speed of 85, Su Bai reached the edge of the Tucuman Athletic penalty area in a very short time!

The roar of the Candy Box Stadium intensified along with Su Bai's explosive run.

At this moment, Tucuman Athletic's left-back Gonzalo Freitas finally faced Su Bai head-on.

Facing Su Bai, who showed no signs of slowing down, Gonzalo Freitas lunged forward immediately!

Su Bai's previous thunderous right-footed shot had made the experienced Gonzalo Freitas aware of his shooting habits!

Therefore, as he lunged, Gonzalo Freitas stuck tightly to Su Bai's right side, specifically to prevent him from cutting inside and shooting with his right foot.

But the moment Gonzalo Freitas lunged!

The Chinese kid, who had been sprinting straight forward, came to a sudden halt!

He!!!!

In a split second!

Su Bai had actually slipped past him on his right side!

Cutting inside???

What???

That speed!

An unreasonable, high-speed cut inside?

How is that possible?

That kid was just a rookie making his first appearance in the Argentine Primera División!

Gonzalo Freitas panicked!

He hurriedly reached out, trying to grab Su Bai; they weren't even in the penalty area yet, so what did it matter if he committed a foul here?

Quick as a flash!

Gonzalo Freitas grabbed hold of Su Bai's jersey.

In that instant, Gonzalo Freitas's heart settled once again.

It was only a yellow card!

As long as he could hold on this time, he would just have to position himself earlier to prevent the cut-inside next time!

Victory still belonged to them, Tucuman Athletic!

However, The very moment his heart eased, an inconceivable, massive force surged from the Chinese-descended kid's body.

Before the eyes of tens of thousands of fans in the stadium, Gonzalo Freitas was sent tumbling toward Su Bai in an exaggerated posture.

"Rip!!!"

At the moment he hit the ground, Gonzalo Freitas was still clutching the Chinese-descended kid's jersey in his hand.

What kind of terrifying strength was this?

The jersey had been torn to shreds, yet that guy was still charging forward as if nothing had happened?

Lying prone on the turf, Gonzalo Freitas stared wide-eyed, watching helplessly as the black-haired kid in the tattered jersey raised his left leg high!

What???

That guy could shoot with his left foot too?

"BOOM!!!"

A stunning, explosive sound rang out.

The football shot toward the goal like a bolt of white light!
