"Don't get complacent—stay focused!" Su Luo reminded everyone seriously.
Sure enough, in the following minutes, Liverpool, with their relentless offense, still found good chances to score.
In the 71st minute, during a chaotic scramble in the box, Roberto Firmino found the net, narrowing the gap once again.
"We need to score again!" Su Luo urged.
Head coach Conte immediately made tactical adjustments, sending Neymar on to strengthen the attack on the right wing.
Affirmed and trusted by Su Luo, Neymar was in excellent form. He constantly broke through Liverpool's defense.
Finally, in the 80th minute, Neymar delivered a pinpoint pass to Dias, who had surged forward. Dias struck decisively and extended the lead to 4–2!
"Well done!" Su Luo praised Neymar joyfully.
With a two-goal cushion, Chelsea began to play more conservatively, focusing on maintaining their advantage.
Before the final whistle, Liverpool managed to score again, but the match ended 4–3. Chelsea narrowly clinched the victory.
This hard-fought win was largely thanks to Su Luo's outstanding performance.
His two goals and key assist helped pull Chelsea out of a tough situation and secure the win.
After the game, praise for Su Luo poured in.
"Su Luo is the soul of the team!" fans exclaimed.
"Without Su Luo, there's no victory," his teammates added.
Su Luo simply smiled in response to the compliments.
"I'm just doing my best to help the team," he replied modestly.
Following the win over Liverpool, the Chelsea squad was granted a rare day off.
The players decided to unwind a bit, and Coach Conte approved.
"You fought hard and deserve to relax!" Conte said with a smile.
So, the whole team rode together in a fleet of luxury cars to a high-end nightclub in central London.
As they arrived at the entrance, the doorman recognized them immediately. "Welcome, please come in!" he greeted warmly.
The nightclub manager even came out to greet them personally. "Everything tonight is on the house. Please, enjoy yourselves!"
The players clapped and cheered, then followed the manager into their reserved VIP room.
Their favorite cocktails and snacks were already waiting inside.
Flashing lights, haze from smoke machines, and pulsing electronic music created a dreamlike atmosphere.
"Let the party begin!" Lukaku raised his champagne glass high and clinked it with everyone else's.
"Cheers!"
The players raised their glasses and drank heartily.
The cool, sweet liquid slid down their throats, instantly refreshing them.
"We're going to win the title!" Neymar declared excitedly.
"We have to celebrate this!" Hazard added with a grin.
Later, the players lounged on the sofas in pairs or small groups, drinking and chatting.
"Thanks for the assist and the pass, captain!" Dias said gratefully to Su Luo.
"We're a team," Su Luo responded modestly.
"I'll keep working hard and aim for more goals," Lukaku said, clenching his fist with determination.
"Come on! You've made great progress," Su Luo encouraged him.
"Our teamwork has really improved," Javier said.
"Yeah. I'll pay more attention to your runs in future matches," Su Luo promised.
The two of them bumped fists, drawing laughter from those around them.
As one song ended, the DJ transitioned to a fast-paced hip-hop track.
"Let's hit the dance floor!" Neymar suggested.
"Alright, let's go!" several players responded enthusiastically, standing up.
They moved to the center of the dance floor and started moving to the pounding beat.
Su Luo, Lukaku, and Hazard busted out their best dance moves, earning cheers from everyone nearby.
"Nice moves!" they praised each other between laughs and high fives.
