After the game began, the performance of Chelsea's players was highly energetic and positive.
Especially noteworthy was midfielder Cesc Fabregas.
This time, when Fabregas received the ball, he immediately showcased his exceptional passing ability.
With precise effort, he delivered the ball swiftly to Pedro's feet on the left flank.
In tonight's match, Pedro was given the chance to start, something he had been waiting for.
For both Chelsea and Pedro himself, this was an opportunity to shine. Naturally, Pedro hoped to deliver a standout performance.
After successfully receiving the ball on the left, Pedro immediately demonstrated his technical prowess. Despite facing interference from multiple Swansea players, Pedro made a bold and decisive move.
Through continuous changes in direction, he accelerated with determination.
In this moment, the player tasked with defending Pedro was Ki Sung-yong.
Like Su Luo, Ki Sung-yong is also an Asian player and had ventured into the Premier League before Su Luo.
However, the career trajectories of the two players have been vastly different.
At this point, Pedro showed no fear against Ki Sung-yong's defense. With his absolute speed advantage, Pedro pushed forward aggressively.
Although Pedro had struggled to secure a place at Barcelona, there was no denying his individual skill.
At such a crucial moment, Pedro used his right foot to nimbly flick the ball, leaving Ki Sung-yong behind.
Moments later, Pedro surged forward with a burst of speed and found himself near Swansea's penalty area.
To be honest, Swansea's goal was already in danger.
Realizing the threat, Swansea coach Paul Clement shouted instructions to his defenders, urging them to increase pressure on Pedro.
His instincts proved accurate.
Just as Clement predicted, Pedro prepared to take a shot.
Pedro's shooting ability is renowned for its speed and precision.
Despite the presence of Swansea's two central defenders, Martin Olsson and Mawson, Pedro confidently made his attempt.
In a flash, the ball soared toward the top corner of the net.
But at this crucial moment, Swansea goalkeeper Fabianski showcased his exceptional reflexes.
With perfect timing, Fabianski dived and managed to save the shot, preventing what seemed like a certain goal.
The match continued with intense back-and-forth action. Swansea's midfielders tirelessly ran to regain possession, and it wasn't long before they succeeded.
Seizing the moment, Swansea launched an attack toward Chelsea's goal.
In midfield, Renato Sanches received the ball and reacted swiftly.
Using his excellent control and sharp changes in rhythm, Sanches evaded several Chelsea players.
Suddenly, he broke free from Fabregas's attempts to intercept him.
Unleashing his pace, Renato Sanches sprinted toward Chelsea's goal, skillfully dribbling past defenders.
In a matter of seconds, Sanches found himself just outside the penalty area.
He lined up his shot, poised to strike.
