"XXXXXX!"

"XXXXXXXX!"

"Damn yellow-skinned monkey! xxxxxx!"

"Kill these Boca Juniors bastards! xxxxx!"

At Monumental Stadium!

The River Plate fans, who had been stunned into silence by Su Bai's thunderous strike, instantly exploded when they saw his celebration.

Countless curses and middle fingers were directed at Su Bai!

This was the Superclásico!

The two teams shared a blood feud.

In a Superclásico like this, seeing their bitter rivals score two goals in less than ten minutes from kickoff—

What could be more unbearable for the home River Plate fans?

With nowhere else to vent their rage, they could only unleash it on the Chinese-descended kid standing on the pitch, surrounded by Boca Juniors players.

But Su Bai paid those rabid-dog fans no attention at all.

He was waiting for an opportunity!

He was waiting for the next goal, when he could properly teach them a lesson!

"Su! I told you not to make your celebrations too provocative! See? Those River Plate bastards can't take it anymore, hahaha!"

Barrios said with a wicked grin as he looked at the furious River Plate fans.

"Haha, Su, this is exactly how it should be! This feels so damn good! Last season, when they put three past us at La Bombonera, that guy was the proudest one while we were lying on the ground!"

Avila said, glancing at Romero, who had just climbed back up from the turf.

At that moment, Romero also noticed Su Bai looking at him!

On the sidelines!

Xie Luotuo was so delighted that he had nearly forgotten his own name.

The importance of this match went without saying.

He turned to look at the big screen by the pitch.

Only 9 minutes and 48 seconds had passed!

Yet the score was an outrageous 2–0!

Su Bai was incredible. This was a gift from God.

Then, suddenly—

Xie Luotuo remembered that Su Bai still had not renegotiated his contract with the club.

"Contact the club as soon as the match ends. Give Su Bai a top-tier contract! We have to keep him!"

Xie Luotuo pulled over his assistant coach, covered his mouth, and whispered to him.

"Got it, boss!"

The match quickly restarted.

After conceding two goals in a row, River Plate completely panicked.

They had never played a match like this before.

As the league leaders, they had always been the ones pinning others back and dominating the game.

Who would have thought they would run into a freak who completely defied common sense?

"River Plate's rhythm is already in disarray!"

"Boye passes the ball back to the attacking midfielder behind him, Chiarini!"

"No pass—Chiarini carries the ball forward."

"Avila steps in to challenge, but he's beaten!"

"Chiarini is still carrying it!"

"Boca Juniors close him down in a tight space! Su Bai charges in."

"Chiarini sends the ball out to the left! He's still looking for Romero!"

"Romero takes the ball and drives forward. Su Bai presses again."

At Monumental Stadium.

Romero, who had just accelerated with the ball, felt the wind by his ear.

He knew that freak was coming.

Without the slightest hesitation, Romero planted his right foot on the ball, then turned around.

He evaded Su Bai's challenge, then pushed the ball sideways with his right foot, returning it to Chiarini, who had moved up through the middle.

"Haha, Romero didn't dare carry the ball forward!"

"Su Bai's tackle just now made River Plate's wide prodigy Romero pass the ball back to his own midfield!"

"He's been scared stiff by Su Bai."

In the livestream, Huang Jianxiang voiced his thoughts without any reservations as he watched Romero's move.

This was Titan Sports Weekly's livestream, not inside the CCTV headquarters. He did not have many reservations when he spoke.

Meanwhile, the on-site director was so stunned by the viewer count that his mouth hung open.

It had started with just over a thousand viewers, but now three hundred thousand had flooded in.

Most terrifyingly, that number was still skyrocketing!

The livestream chat was scrolling by in a blur.

-

[Holy shit, I just saw on the Great Emperor forum that one of us Chinese scored in the Argentine Primera División? It's actually true!]

-

[Anyone there? Can someone explain which one is Chinese? Is this guy any good?]

-

[Guy above, rewind a bit. He scored three minutes ago. You're welcome!]

-

[Awesome! I just watched it—what kind of power was that? He's fucking Roberto Carlos!]

The match continued!

River Plate's attack down the left came to an abrupt halt at Romero.

But Chiarini, who received the return pass, did not give up.

He turned sideways and sent the ball to the right flank!

Vangioni.

Another trademark long ball!

But under pressure from Boca Juniors fullback Uribarri, Vangioni's long pass flew straight out over the end line.

The River Plate fans in the stands immediately erupted in boos at the sight.

This was South America!

They possessed not only the most fanatical football culture, but also the wildest fans.

The supporters would not coddle their own team.

Seeing their side pushed to this point by their bitter rivals, the River Plate fans had run out of patience.

Roberto Abbondanzieri took the ball from a ball boy at the sideline.

He placed it on the line of the six-yard box.

Then he launched it with a booming kick toward the center circle!

Boca Juniors' other attacking midfielder, Ezequiel, stood beneath the dropping ball, but River Plate's holding midfielder Ponzio charged over as well.

The two jostled together and leaped at the same time.

In midair!

Ponzio maliciously drove his knee into Ezequiel.

That one knee put Ezequiel at a disadvantage in the aerial contest.

He was sent tumbling sideways to the ground.

"Oh! Foul!!"

"That was filthy! River Plate's number 14 is truly nasty—he secretly drove his knee into Ezequiel while jumping behind him!"

"Ezequiel fell onto the turf completely unprotected!"

"That looked serious!"

At once!

The tension that had already been gradually building in the match was instantly ignited.

Pablo Perez, standing nearby, furiously rushed up to Ponzio and shoved him hard.

Ponzio was no mild-mannered man either. Seeing someone dare to push him, he immediately rushed over and grabbed Pablo Perez by the throat.

Only ten minutes into the match!

The two sides erupted into a fierce confrontation in midfield.

Seeing his teammate at a disadvantage, Martinez strode over as well.

On the other side, the River Plate players all rushed over as well.

The players from the two bitter rivals began shoving each other back and forth around the fallen Ezequiel.

On the sidelines!

The head coaches of both teams also launched into a heated war of words!

"This is the usual tempo of a South American Super Derby!"

"As long as it's a Super Derby, there's bound to be this kind of large-scale clash!"

"In 1998 at Candy House Stadium, the players from both sides got into a full-on brawl after the match. In the end, even the Boca Juniors fans in the stands charged down to join in!"

"If the security measures back then hadn't been decent enough, whether the River Plate players could have made it out of the stadium alive would've been a question!"

Huang Jianxiang could only stare speechlessly at the chaotic scene.
