Chapter 1050: Morale Greatly Improved

Hagen was well aware of Su Luo’s ability and performance — and he also understood the controversy among fans surrounding the goal.

As the captain, it was his responsibility to maintain unity and harmony within the Dortmund team.

Determined to ease the tension, Hagen walked straight toward Su Luo.
“Su Luo,” he called out.

He continued firmly, “We all know your strength and contribution. That goal was the result of your hard work. You deserve every bit of this honor.”

Su Luo looked into Hagen’s steady eyes and felt a wave of warmth in his heart.
He knew that the captain had always silently supported him — and today was no exception.

Robert, standing nearby, also noticed Hagen’s positive attitude.
He suddenly realized that he had been too focused on his own performance, neglecting the importance of teamwork.

Thinking back, he understood that Su Luo’s goal wasn’t just the result of individual skill — it was born from the entire team’s cooperation and effort.

Later, Hagen stepped into the locker room at Gryphon Stadium, where the Dortmund players were preparing for the next phase of the match.

The atmosphere was tense. Anxiety and determination hung in the air.
After all, the game was still finely balanced — either side could turn the tide at any moment.

Hagen stood at the center of the locker room, cleared his throat, and raised his voice.
“Guys, I need your attention.”

The players stopped what they were doing and turned toward him, listening intently.

He took a deep breath, feeling the weight of thousands of expectant eyes from the stands pressing in through the walls.

Hagen gathered his thoughts. What they needed now wasn’t just firepower or passion — it was focus and composure.

“The game isn’t over yet,” Hagen began calmly but firmly. “We’re in the lead, yes, but we must stay vigilant. Our opponents are desperate to win. They’ll seize any opportunity we give them.”

The players exchanged glances, determination flashing across their faces.

Hagen continued, “Robert, you’re our striker. You can’t drop your guard, no matter what. Su Luo’s goal came from his ability — and yes, a bit of luck — but that doesn’t mean the match is decided.”

Robert nodded, understanding the message behind his captain’s words. Even if he had missed a chance earlier, there would be more — and he had to be ready.

“Su Luo,” Hagen said as he stepped closer to him, “this is the moment for you to show your leadership. Your goal lifted the entire team’s morale. I believe everyone here will stand behind you.”

A flicker of gratitude and understanding passed through Su Luo’s eyes.
He knew that the captain’s encouragement wasn’t just for him — it was for the whole team.

Hagen glanced around once more, meeting the eyes of every player in the room. They were all watching him, tense yet expectant.

“Listen, everyone,” Hagen said, his tone steady but powerful. “Trust in ourselves. The understanding and unity between us will carry us to victory.”

The players nodded one by one, clenching their fists in silent agreement. Determination burned brightly in their eyes.

They all knew it — only by working together could they stay sharp, overcome their opponents, and claim victory.

Meanwhile, up in the commentary booth, Jensen sat before a monitor, scanning through the flood of messages in the live chat.

This was a crucial match — one that had captured the attention of fans all across Europe.

He noticed a few Bayern Munich supporters criticizing him, claiming he was too biased toward Dortmund’s star player, Su Luo.

Jensen smiled faintly, shaking his head. He knew that Su Luo’s performance spoke for itself — and no amount of bias could hide true brilliance on the pitch.
