"Charge! Kill those San Lorenzo bastards!"

"Go, black-haired kid!"

"Haha, did you see that? That San Lorenzo brat was scared stiff—he didn't even dare jump!"

"Beautifully done, Chinese kid!"

At Bombonera Stadium, Boca Juniors' fans went wild as they watched Su Bai charge into San Lorenzo's half like a tank at full speed.

Argentina was a very poor country.

But even the poorest people here scraped together money to support their team at home, even for youth league matches.

Their passion for football was etched into their bones.

And on the pitch at that moment, Su Bai had already raced to the edge of San Lorenzo's penalty area like a bolt of lightning.

San Lorenzo captain Botalo had long since experienced just how powerful Su Bai's body was.

So, facing Su Bai's mad charge, Botalo did not hesitate for even a second. The instant he saw Su Bai coming, he threw himself to the ground and slid at him.

He did not want to be sent flying like his teammates.

So a sliding tackle was the safest option.

But at the instant he went down, Su Bai got to the ball before Botalo could touch it and viciously knocked it to the right!

At the same time, he darted past Botalo's side at high speed.

This...

This guy!

Su Bai's ball control was still poor, so that hurried change of direction immediately sent the ball out of his control.

Fortunately!

There was no one left in San Lorenzo's back line except the goalkeeper. Desperate to equalize, they had nearly all surged forward after winning the free kick.

Su Bai quickly caught up with the ball.

Then he pushed it forward with his right foot and charged straight into the penalty area.

San Lorenzo's goalkeeper had no time to think about anything else and rushed out.

Facing the onrushing keeper, Su Bai had no unnecessary thoughts.

He raised his right leg and unleashed another thunderous shot!

"Bang!!!"

As always, the football exploded with a bone-chilling crack.

And at the instant Su Bai shot, San Lorenzo's charging goalkeeper actually instinctively ducked his head.

That terrifying ball speed... he really...

The ball whistled past his ear!

It's over!!!

When San Lorenzo's goalkeeper felt the howling wind brush past the tip of his ear, he turned back in despair!

Sure enough!

The ball had slammed into the goal and hung in the net.

"GGGGGG--OOOOOOOO--AAAAAAA--LLLLLLL!"

"GGGGGOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!"

"GOAL!!!!!"

"S--U--B--A--I!!!"

This time, the stadium DJ finally found Su Bai's name on the team sheet.

The hysterical roar ignited Bombonera Stadium once more!

"Oh my God!!! That kid is insane!"

"Hayden, you old bastard, did you see that? That kid's shot... My God... Batistuta! That's Batistuta!"

"My God, that was insane! How did he do that?"

"A genius! He's a genius God gifted to Boca Juniors!"

Boca's fans raised their hands high and shouted in excitement.

After scoring, Su Bai still wore that calm, indifferent expression.

The youth league he had once looked up to did not stir even a trace of excitement in him.

His teammates crowded around him, excitedly ruffling Su Bai's hair.

On the sidelines, Ignacio stared at the giant screen showing just eight minutes, his face full of disbelief.

Putting Su Bai on had been an arrangement Ignacio had made out of necessity.

But he had never expected this guy to score two goals in only eight minutes.

It was insane.

This was Su Bai's youth league debut.

Su Bai's goal seemed to have completely stunned San Lorenzo.

After the restart, San Lorenzo had no idea how to attack for a while.

Antur shouted from the sidelines, urging his players to push forward.

But the players could not find any direction for their attack.

Instead, Boca Juniors began pressing across the entire field.

In the eleventh minute, Boca Juniors finally won the ball from San Lorenzo's feet through their relentless, frenzied pressing.

In an instant!

Boca Juniors surged forward across the board.

Meanwhile, Su Bai on the right wing became San Lorenzo's primary focus of attention.

But!

Boca's attacking midfielder Corazal threaded a diagonal pass to the left.

Left winger Viatri used his speed to knock the ball past the fullback before lofting a long pass into the box.

Higuain leaped high and snapped a header at goal!

Fortunately, San Lorenzo's goalkeeper had positioned himself perfectly. Just before the ball crossed the line, he punched it over the end line with his right fist.

A right-side corner for Boca Juniors!

Su Bai stood in the box, ready to attack the ball.

At that moment!

At 1.85 meters tall, Su Bai immediately became San Lorenzo's main marking target.

San Lorenzo's starting center-back House pressed tightly against Su Bai's side.

When he saw the referee turn his head away, the guy began exerting force, intending to shove Su Bai out of the box.

But House, San Lorenzo's most physically imposing player, was shocked to discover that no matter how hard he pushed, the seemingly not-so-strong teenager before him did not budge an inch.

Not only did the guy not move, he even turned his head and looked at House with a puzzled expression.

As though he wanted to ask what exactly House was trying to do!

This...

Wasn't this too fucking ridiculous?

Were there really freaks like this in the world?

It was one thing for his shooting to be freakish, but his body was freakish too?

With that physique, why the hell were you playing football? Go play American football in the United States—you'd be famous overnight.

At that moment!

Corazal's corner was sent into the box after the whistle.

The near post was exactly where Su Bai stood!

As the ball came in!

Su Bai and House jumped at the same time.

House even secretly grabbed the hem of Su Bai's shirt with his right hand.

But even with both hands and feet at work, House still discovered in despair that the teenager beside him was completely unaffected!

That freakish teenager got to the ball first right in front of him.

On the sidelines, Ignacio watched Su Bai, who looked like a god descending to earth, with anticipation written all over his face.

He was waiting for Su Bai's third goal.

With that kind of physique, heading was practically tailor-made for him.

Bang!

Su Bai headed the ball toward the goal.

However, while the general direction was toward the goal, it went above the crossbar.

There was no threat at all!

Su Bai's header flew high over the end line!

Damn!

After seeing his utterly dreadful header, a trace of embarrassment finally appeared on Su Bai's usually unflappable face.

He raised a hand toward Corazal in apology.

The match resumed!
