Chapter 1029: Strengthening Midfield Control

The reporter raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"So, how do you maintain your pure passion for football?"

Su Luo thought for a moment before replying seriously,
"First of all, no amount of money can represent my value or achievements.

I see football as an art — one that expresses emotion and dreams through beautiful play on the field. My love and pursuit of this sport were deeply rooted in my heart long before I became a professional player."

He paused briefly, then continued,
"Also, it’s important to stay connected with ordinary fans — to interact with them, share my experiences and stories. It reminds me of who I once was — just a fan in the stands, cheering for my favorite team."

The reporter, completely engrossed, smiled as he recorded Su Luo’s words.
"Mr. Su Luo, you truly are a rare professional athlete. Your attitude toward football is admirable. I hope you continue to shine and inspire others."

Su Luo smiled lightly and made a playful punching gesture.
"Thank you for the compliment. My goal isn’t just to be a great professional player, but also to inspire more people to fall in love with football."

Just as he finished speaking, his phone buzzed with a new notification.

Su Luo glanced at the screen and said to the reporter with a hint of regret,
"Sorry, I have to go. The coach has called an emergency team meeting. Thank you for your time."

He stood up, politely shook the reporter’s hand, and left for the training ground, his expression showing a trace of reluctance.

Emily was waiting on the sidelines when he arrived.

Seeing the faint smile still on his face, she couldn’t help but ask curiously,
"How was it? How did the interview go?"

Su Luo gently patted her hand and replied after a short pause,
"It went very well. I got to reaffirm my belief in football and share my journey with the fans."

He looked out toward the pitch in the distance.
"Now it’s time to get back to the game."

He walked onto the field with Emily beside him, his heart filled with renewed strength and determination.

No matter how much money or fame poured into his life, none of it compared to what truly mattered to him.

"Football is my true passion," he whispered to himself.

A few days later, Su Luo, Robert, and Hagen stood together at the training base, surrounded by an atmosphere charged with competition.

Players from both teams were on the field warming up — passes, shots, and the sharp calls of coaches echoing across the pitch.

The three gathered on the sideline, quietly discussing tactics and preparations for the upcoming match against Arsenal.

Su Luo frowned slightly.
"Arsenal is a strong team. We can’t take them lightly. I think we should focus on solid defense and quick counterattacks."

Robert nodded in agreement.
"We also need to tighten up our midfield control and improve coordination."

After thinking for a moment, Hagen said,
"I think we could consider changing the formation — something unexpected to throw them off balance."

Su Luo’s eyes lit up as he listened to Hagen’s suggestion. He clenched his fists, a surge of fighting spirit and desire for victory rising within him.

"Yes! That’s a great idea," he said with excitement. "We can disrupt their rhythm and create openings by switching formations."

Robert and Hagen were infected by Su Luo’s enthusiasm, confident smiles spreading across their faces.

Robert looked at him and said encouragingly,
"Su Luo, you’ve always been our leader. I believe you’ll perform at your best in this match."
