Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 102 Xu Jia's Breaking News from the English Premier League: Su Hao's Fame Spreads Throughout Munich!
"WHY???"

"WHY????"

Less than 30 minutes into the game, the starting goalkeeper was sent off with a red card by the referee!
The professor was furious.

Facing the fourth official, the professor asked why again and again.

He had just begun to see hope!
Of course, after the referee had made his decision, the professor's roar had no effect whatsoever. Szczesny still covered his face with his gloves and walked straight into the players' tunnel with a guilty look on his face.

"This is troublesome. Putting aside penalties, if Szczesny is sent off, Wenger will have to find someone from the attacking lineup to step down."

"In slow motion, Szczesny did indeed collide with Robben's supporting foot, so the red card was definitely justified."

"Sigh! It all depends on how Wenger changes his formation, but no matter what he does, this match seems unlikely."

A sudden red card not only plunged the Arsenal fans in the stands into despair, but even the commentators Huang Jianxiang and Zhan Jun in the commentary booth sighed helplessly.

On the sidelines, after thinking for a while, the professor finally decided to take Ramsey off the court.

Chamberlain's containment of Robben was excellent; he couldn't move. On the other hand, Ramsey's right-hand man, Kante, could move to the right. So, even if Ramsey was unwilling, he could only give a bitter high-five to his second-choice goalkeeper, Fabianski, and sit back on the bench.

And so, Wenger, his face ashen, stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, waiting for Bayern's penalty kick.

Meanwhile, Guardiola, who was not far away, took advantage of this time to quickly call over his players.

Yes!

With a one-man lead in less than 30 minutes, Guardiola naturally reverted to his possession-based style of play.

on the field.

As Bayern's penalty taker, Alaba stood with the ball in front of substitute Fabianski.

All the Arsenal players stood nervously outside the penalty area line.

Although they all knew very well that Alaba's penalty kick conversion rate this season was an absurd 100%!

"Beep!!"

Finally, after being tormented by the frenzied shouts of Bayern fans for a long time, the referee blew his whistle.

At the Arsenal penalty spot, Alaba responded and fired a shot towards the Arsenal goal guarded by Fabianski.

They fooled the goalkeeper very easily!

The more than 70,000 Bayern fans at the stadium had all jumped up, ready to roar again!
However.
A dramatic scene occurred.

Alaba's shot, though it fooled the goalkeeper, inexplicably hit the outside of the post and went straight out of bounds.

"Oops! That ball didn't go in!!"

Alaba, with a 100% penalty conversion rate this season, surprisingly missed his first penalty of the season in such a crucial Champions League knockout stage match.

"Arsenal miraculously came back from the brink of defeat. With the score at 1-1, if they had completely parked the bus, they might have actually managed to take a valuable away goal and a draw at the Allianz Stadium?"

"If that's the case, then the next round will be much easier!"

Seeing that Alaba was actually giving Arsenal fans so much face, Huang Jianxiang in the commentary booth immediately came to life.

As for the substitutes' bench at the same time.

Wenger nodded slightly with satisfaction after Alaba missed the penalty, and then quickly set up Arsenal's defense from the sidelines.

They have an extra player, and they're playing on home soil.

The rest of the match naturally and unsurprisingly turned into Bayern Munich's half-court attack and defense drills.

Guardiola, who already prefers to keep the ball under his control, went even further, pushing Bayern's possession rate to an astonishing 84%.

The 26th minute of the game.

After countless passes back and forth, Kroos, receiving a pass back from his teammate, once again chipped the ball to Ribery, who had dribbled into the penalty area!
Without stopping the ball, Ribery slammed it down with his right foot before it even hit the ground.

However, to Ribery's dismay, the moment he touched the ball, the diminutive Arsenal player who had been relentlessly marking him used his chest to block his shot.

With a muffled thud, the football bounced back.

Su Hao, who quickly followed up, sent the ball out of the penalty area with a long kick.

Arsenal successfully averted the crisis!
The 32th minute of the game.

After several unsuccessful attempts to launch a counterattack with limited forces, Arsenal were once again besieged at Bayern Munich's doorstep.

Unable to break through Arsenal's dense formation, Bayern began to try long-range shots.

Kroos unleashed a powerful left-footed shot!
The football was played to a very high standard, but perhaps Arsenal was just so unlucky that even their own goal at the Allianz Arena couldn't stand it anymore.

The ball had clearly passed Fabianski's hands, but just like that penalty kick, it hit the outside of the post and went out of bounds.

"hiss!!!"

More than 70,000 Bayern Munich fans expressed their regret in unison.

Meanwhile, Guardiola, standing in front of the Bayern bench, angrily stomped his foot!

The 36th minute of the game.

Bayern Munich continued their relentless pressure on Arsenal.

This time, Robben, who had been harassed by Chamberlain for a long time, suddenly seemed to have a burst of energy and managed to break free from the encirclement of three Arsenal players.

And after emerging from the crowd, Robben immediately used his left foot to aim at the top right corner of Arsenal's goal and powerfully chipped the ball over it.

That curling shot was of extremely high quality.

However, Arsenal's second-choice goalkeeper Fabianski, who came on as a substitute, made his best save so far this season.

Just as the ball passed in front of him, Fabianski desperately used his fingertips to deflect it.

It was precisely because of this desperate block that the ball, even after passing him, ultimately flew over the crossbar and out of bounds.

In the 39th minute of the match, despite Arsenal's best efforts, they still conceded a goal, thanks to Ribery's poking shot during a goalmouth scramble!
The Allianz Arena erupted in cheers as more than 70,000 Bayern Munich fans roared as if celebrating the start of their resounding victory!
"FC Bayern forever number one!"

"You can call us the champions of the world!!!"

“FC Bayern forever number one!!”

“We're much better than the rest!!!”

This was Arsenal's most difficult half so far this season.

Amidst the frenzied chanting of over 70,000 Bayern Munich fans, every Arsenal player ran tirelessly in their own half.

However, it was precisely this relentless running that allowed them to successfully compensate for the disadvantage of being one player down by using the distance they covered.

Even in the 43rd minute of the match, as the first half was about to end.

Su Hao's textbook-perfect long pass behind Giroud nearly helped him regain the lead.

And so, the difficult first half of the game finally came to an end.

Arsenal, relying on their relentless, defensive tactics, successfully maintained the draw until halftime.

just
After returning to the locker room.

The Arsenal players, who had just been full of energy on the field, were now all out of breath.

Yes!

Such a high-intensity defense is also a huge test of their physical fitness.

Wenger had clearly anticipated this, and after everyone sat down, he immediately instructed the team doctor and others to begin giving his players restorative massages.

He then pulled up the tactics board and explained to the players what they needed to pay attention to in the second half.

"After a prolonged siege without success, Guardiola will definitely get his team to start moving the ball into the air!"

"Mertesacker, I need you to keep a close eye on Mandzukic at all times!"

"besides."

The professor patiently gave his team a crash course in the second half of the game.

Meanwhile, Guardiola in the home team's locker room was also busy!

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!"

"Come here, everyone! Come here!!!"

Look here!!!

"."

It was still Guardiola's signature volatile little classroom.

"You kept the ball under your control, that's very good!"

"But what I need now is to score goals, not to have more than double the possession!"

"Tony! In the second half, try to get the ball to the wings as much as possible! Stop making those futile dribbling runs on both wings, just send the ball into the air!"

"."

Wenger's prediction was correct.

After failing to break through Arsenal's tight defense for a long time, even Guardiola, who prefers to keep the ball at his feet, had to resort to the most primitive and direct method to break through Arsenal's dense formation!

The 15-minute halftime break ended quickly.

After switching sides, the players from both teams stood in their respective halves of the field and waited for the whistle.

In the stands, Zhang Linpeng's cousin, as the president of the Munich Suhao Fan Association, naturally organized all the members of the Munich Association to carry a huge Suhao poster and have been chanting it since the start of the match.

Not far from Lin Ling's away fans' section, Xu Jiaying also lowered himself and stood with the Evergrande Su Hao fan group.

Although the seven or eight burly men with buzz cuts standing around Mr. Xu looked rather out of place, many media outlets still focused their attention and cameras on this newly minted top Chinese tycoon who was willing to integrate into the ordinary fan community.

Even after the referee blew his whistle, Lao Xu joined the Arsenal native fans in cheering for Su Hao in English!
On the field!
The game restarted with the sound of the whistle.

Shortly after the game began, all the Arsenal players on the field secretly marveled at their manager's prediction!
Yes!

After failing to break through Bayern Munich's defenses, Bayern Munich really started resorting to aerial bombardment.

It's not just Ribery on the left, but also Robben on the right.

Even Lahm, who had already positioned himself in the defensive midfield position, began to drift wide, repeatedly sending the ball into Arsenal's penalty area.

During this time, Su Hao and Mertesacker naturally became the two busiest people in the entire event.

Especially Su Hao, who not only needs to help Mertesacker join forces to attack Mandzukic.

In the midfield front, Su Hao also had to occasionally rush out to participate in Arsenal's few counter-attack opportunities.

It was this back-and-forth running that made Su Hao realize how quickly his physical strength was being depleted!
However, as Su Hao and his teammates began to feel fatigued...

My little Kankan, however, seemed completely unaffected and remained full of energy!

Even in the 60th minute of the match!

Kante also single-handedly moved from the defensive midfield position to the lone striker position.

If Kante's shooting skills weren't so lacking, he might very well have replicated his incredible equalizer from the last game!

"Arsenal are playing very tenaciously! Bayern have 84% possession and have taken a total of 15 shots!"

"They are indeed very tenacious! However, with such a high-intensity defense, and considering that Arsenal's match against Liverpool only lasted a few days, I'm worried about Arsenal's situation after the 70th minute."

"But seriously, Mr. Zhan Jun, don't you think that over the years, whenever Wenger has met Guardiola, whether it was during his time at Barcelona or now at Bayern, Guardiola has had much better luck than Wenger?"

"Haha! Now that you mention it, it's actually true. In the 09-10 season, Barcelona played away games..."

Watching the Arsenal players on the field, it seemed like they were risking their lives to scramble for the ball at Bayern's feet.

Zhan Jun also expressed concern about Arsenal's physical condition.

However, just as Zhan Jun and Huang Jianxiang were chattering away, complaining that Guardiola always seemed to have incredible luck in the Champions League, it was as if he had a cheat code.

After frantically surrounding Kroos on the field, Suho and Kanté finally managed to snatch the ball from Kroos's feet near midfield.

After receiving the ball, Kante naturally did not hesitate to pass it diagonally to Su Hao's feet!

In the past, Kanté would have quickly returned to his defensive zone after passing the ball.
But Kanté himself didn't know why. He hadn't even had a chance to communicate with Su Hao before he inexplicably darted diagonally towards Bayern's backfield.

What's even more outrageous is that the instant he darted out, Su Hao, who was clearly facing away from him, steadily sent the ball back to him with a single kick.

A perfectly coordinated pass without any visual connection!

This absolutely dreamlike duo combination allowed them to break through Bayern's central defense, which consisted of three players, in an instant!
"Wow! Beautiful! Such teamwork, such perfect coordination! It doesn't look like they've only been playing for a little over a month!"

"Yes! That's true. Passing the ball with your back to the goal requires years of accumulated understanding and coordination!"

"Kant!!!"

"Those short legs look pretty fast when they put in their best effort!"

On the field right now!

Just as Huang Jianxiang described, Kante had already gone full speed ahead and charged straight into the heart of Bayern Munich's backfield.

At the same time, Boateng and Dante, who were lagging behind, also pounced on Su Hao and Kanté from the left and right respectively.

However, before Dante could get close to Kanté, Kanté had already passed the ball sideways again.

They still displayed perfect teamwork in small groups.

A cross was made, accompanied by another acceleration, and Kanté narrowly bypassed Dante.

The most fatal mistake was that before Kanté could even get past Dante, Su Hao had already poked the ball out from Dante's other side of the field!

"Wow! That was beautiful! That shot!!! That shot!!!"

"Kant!!!"

"no problem!!!"

"Su Hao delivered a deadly through ball!!!"

"Kant has overtaken Dante!"

"He's one-on-one with the opponent!!!"

"He's one-on-one with the opponent!!!"

"Neuer rushed out from in front of the goal!"

"The time for the competition has come!"

"Neuer is incredibly fast!!!"

"Let's see if Kanté can catch up."

"Oh no! We were a step too late. Neuer slid in and cleared the ball just as Kante reached it. Arsenal missed."

"Hey! It's not over yet!"

"Su Hao."

Huang Jianxiang, who was in the commentary booth, was initially annoyed that Kante had missed such a good opportunity.

But unexpectedly, it was Neuer's panicked tackle that caused the ball to miraculously appear at the feet of Su Hao, who was rapidly advancing from Kanté's side.

Seeing the ball being tackled to Arsenal's most troublesome number 11 by himself, Neuer's eyes widened in horror!

It's not just Neuer!

Guardiola on the sidelines and the more than 70,000 Bayern Munich fans in the stands were also stunned by what they saw.

And it was precisely at that moment, when everyone's eyes were focused on him, that he was...

Su Hao had already raised his right leg high and used the instep of his right foot to forcefully push the ball towards the goal!

With a passing value bonus of 91.

Su Hao didn't even bother to look up and see if the ball had gone in; he simply raised his hands towards the more than three thousand Arsenal die-hards in the stands!
"Su Hao!!!"

"A perfectly executed curling shot!!!"

"The football has overcome the despair of Neuer!"

"Beep!!!"

The referee blew his whistle and pointed to the center circle with both hands, indicating that the goal was valid.

"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"The match is in its 65th minute!"

"A scene that no one could believe has unfolded!"

Arsenal playing with 10 men!

"After being pressured by the powerful Bayern Munich for nearly forty minutes, they have turned the score around and taken the lead!"

"2:1!!!!"

"A goal that can definitely be recorded as a classic counter-attack in football history!"

"Su Hao has scored his second goal of the match and in this Champions League campaign!"

"Thanks to Su Hao's brace, Arsenal have miraculously taken the lead again!!!"

"Arsenal fans!"

"After seeing this, can you still hold back?"
-
[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! They've actually taken the lead! Arsenal are incredible! 2-1! This is fucking amazing!]
-
[Holy shit, this is...this is rigged against me! I only added to my position during halftime to cut my losses, this is just too much!]
-
[Haha, Su Hao is awesome! That combination with Kanté was incredible! 2-1! I have a feeling Arsenal might pull off an upset against Bayern today, even with one less player!]
-
[This drama is comparable to the A-League! Playing with one less player, and still conceding a goal to Arsenal... If Arsenal actually wins in the end, those who bet on in-play betting at midfield will probably be arranging to jump off the roof!]
-
[Damn it, gamblers, stop polluting our comment section, get out of here! Haha, Arsenal is awesome! I bet on Arsenal to win, I'm going to be rich!]

Huang Jianxiang, who was in the commentary booth, started shouting hysterically.

Meanwhile, at the Allianz Arena at the same time.

The more than 70,000 Bayern Munich fans who had just been singing the Bayern team song suddenly fell silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the number 11 on the field, who was surrounded by Arsenal players with his hands raised high!
"My God, is this the Chinese guy we offered eight million euros for before?"

"Damn it! I even mocked Guardiola for wanting to buy a Chinese guy! If I had known this guy could score two goals at the Allianz Arena, I would have paid him at least 30 million euros, let alone 8 million!"

"Fuck! Is Neuer a mole? Why did he let the ball reach that Chinese guy? After besieging him for so long, Arsenal still managed to score!"

"Guardiola, that bastard, doesn't deserve to be a part of Bayern at all. All he knows is ball control, damn ball control! And what's the result of ball control?"

After a moment of suffocating silence, the more than 70,000 Bayern Munich fans immediately booed their own players who, despite having a one-man advantage, had been overtaken by Arsenal again, as well as Guardiola. Meanwhile, the more than 3,000 away fans collectively erupted in a frenzy of criticism.

Yes!

Having been suppressed for over forty minutes, they truly hadn't expected Su Hao to bring them such a big surprise.

He scored twice despite playing with one less player, and even took the lead again!

Putting aside everything else, even if Bayern equalized the score or ultimately lost.

With these two away goals, they have a very good chance of eliminating Bayern Munich and advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals at the Emirates Stadium next time!

Arsenal fans went wild, chanting Su Hao's name.

And among them!
After Su Hao's goal, Xu, the Evergrande veteran who was being watched by many media cameras, excitedly hugged the burly man next to him!

Although Su Hao is no longer wearing his Evergrande jersey, Lao Xu, who has always loved football, has already identified himself as an ordinary Su Hao fan.

While some are happy, others are worried.

Unlike Wenger, who was raising his arms and shouting from the sidelines.

After Su Hao's goal, Guardiola was so angry that he smashed his water bottle on the ground.

With such an exaggerated 84% possession rate, he really didn't expect his team to concede a goal to Arsenal.

Arsenal's tight defensive formation was already difficult to break down, and now it's even better!
Instead, they were overtaken by the opponent's counter-attack, and it seems Wenger will have to move Giroud to the center-back position next.

Sure enough, just as Guardiola was rambling on about his players' lax defense,

Wenger had already called on Flamini, who was playing aggressively on the bench, to warm up.

After celebrating wildly for a full three minutes, Arsenal finally returned to their own half at the urging of the referee.

The competition was able to continue.

And the subsequent matches unfolded exactly as Guardiola had predicted.

With a wave of his hand, Wenger sent the entire Arsenal team huddled back near their own penalty area once again!
They secured two away goals and even took the lead over Bayern Munich.

Wenger is completely satisfied!

With only twenty-odd minutes left in the game, the professor was even considering giving up on the attack altogether and sticking to a defensive strategy!

Arsenal retreated completely, while Bayern, trailing behind, naturally pressed forward again in a desperate attempt to catch up.

That is, from this moment on.

Bayern's frenzied siege has officially begun.

The 69th minute of the game.

After countless passes, Lahm, having received the ball, unleashed a long-range shot that just went over the crossbar, sending chills down the spines of the more than 3,000 Arsenal fans.

72th minute of the match!

Bayern Munich, making a comeback, once again tried crossing from the flanks.

With Kanté and Chamberlain pressing him together, Robben had no choice but to pass the ball back to Rafinha, who was following up.

Rafinha, receiving the ball, intercepted it just before Giroud could close him down and lofted it into Arsenal's penalty area at a 45-degree angle.

While Mandzukic was being attacked from both sides and his mentality was about to collapse, Schweinsteiger also began to frequently participate in scoring opportunities.

This time!
Rafinha was looking for Schweinsteiger, who had just sprinted into the penalty area.

However, just as Schweinsteiger leaped high to unleash a powerful header, Su Hao, who had already anticipated the ball's trajectory, used his superior physique—far surpassing Schweinsteiger's at the end of his career's prime—to easily knock Schweinsteiger aside and send the ball out of the penalty area.

Lahm got the ball back and had to send it back to the backfield to look for another opportunity!
75th minute of the match!

Bayern Munich passed the ball to Ribery on the left wing and continued to try to attack down the flank.

But to the horror of all Bayern fans, the Arsenal black player who had just been covering Robben on the right wing suddenly seemed to have no stamina limit and rushed to the left wing to keep up with Ribery.

Moreover, no matter how fancy Ribery's changes of direction and starts and stops were, he could never shake off Kant, who was sticking to him like a piece of chewing gum, in addition to Sagna's close approach.

In the end, a helpless Ribery could only pass the ball back to Kroos in midfield.

Time passed slowly, minute by minute, during the match.

Facing Bayern Munich's frenzied attack.

Arsenal showed their most tenacious side at this moment.

Everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, relentlessly intercepting Bayern's attacks time and time again.

Of course, with Arsenal still in the lead, the entire Arsenal team's physical condition was also approaching a critical point.

The 77th minute of the game.

Chamberlain, who had run back and forth on the left countless times and had long been worn out by Wenger, was the first to collapse on the grass due to exhaustion and cramps!

Although they are now rivals, upon seeing Chamberlain cramp, Cross immediately ran to Chamberlain's side, lifted Chamberlain's foot, and gave him some basic treatment.

It was Kroos's action that earned him applause from Wenger on the sidelines and from the more than 3,000 Arsenal fans in the stands.

After a delay of about two minutes, Chamberlain got up and resumed the game.

81th minute of the match!

After Chamberlain suffered a cramp, veteran right-winger Sagna also went down.

Unlike young players like Chamberlain, Sagna, after cramping up, immediately signaled to the professor on the sidelines to make a substitution.

Having gone this far, the professor naturally let Nacho Monreal walk to the sidelines to replace the cramping Sagna.

Around two minutes later, Nacho Monreal came on, and the game continued!

Frequent cramps interrupting the game, this blatantly obvious delaying tactic naturally drew the ire of Guardiola, who was watching from nearby.

Even in the 84th minute of the match, after substitute goalkeeper Fabianski raised his hand and fell on the goal line, Guardiola finally couldn't hold back and directly berated Wenger on the sidelines.

The professor was already embarrassed and didn't know how to continue delaying the game, but seeing that Guardiola had actually delivered himself to his doorstep, Wenger was naturally secretly delighted and didn't hesitate to talk back to Guardiola!

"Shut your mouth! Do you see the big screen? We're in the lead!"

"You're in the lead? Is this how you get ahead, through such shameless means?"

"All I know is that we're in the lead. What about you? Besides this ineffective ball control, just like a few years ago, what have you brought to Bayern? A harmless attack?"

As the last remaining ancient troll in the Premier League!

As always, Wenger hit Guardiola's weakest spot with just one sentence!

It was this one sentence that broke Guardiola's composure, causing him to blurt out a sentence in Spanish.

A greeting to Wenger in Spanish!

then
“xxxxxxx!”

"xxxxxx!!!!"

The goalkeeper fell to the ground, and the two top coaches in world football started arguing.

The referee immediately rushed to the sidelines and issued a yellow card to both Guardiola and Wenger.

This time, due to Wenger's involvement, the match was interrupted for a full three and a half minutes!
at this time!

The match time on the big screen at the sidelines had already reached 88 minutes.

Staff members have already started holding up signs indicating four minutes of added time.

Looking at the victory that was within reach.

The professor's hands, hidden in his pockets, were already trembling uncontrollably.

And the Arsenal players on the pitch were giving it their all, clinging to life with their last breath.

Especially Su Hao!
Under such intense offensive and defensive transitions, Su Hao even felt his long legs starting to lose control.

Moreover, just after Su Hao and Kant worked together with 100% synergy to block Schweinsteiger and Kroos's combined attack out of bounds, Su Hao collapsed onto the grass with a sharp pain in his right leg!

"Su Hao also got cramps! Arsenal really went all out in this match!"

"Yes! According to the latest data, 7 out of 10 players on the Arsenal team have run more than 10 kilometers, and Su Hao is on that list!"

"With that physique, running this much, Su Hao really can't keep up!"

"However, it is precisely because of this relentless running that Arsenal has managed to maintain their lead even with a man down!"

"Oh dear, Wenger is trying to stall again. Mathieu Flamini is about to take the stage!"

On the court, just as Zhan Jun said.

Upon seeing Su Hao fall to the ground, Wenger immediately played his last card.

Moreover, it was the same old routine: Mathieu Flamini, who had clearly warmed up several times, actually squatted down on the sidelines and untied his shoelaces.
This kind of shameless delaying tactic was so outrageous that even the referee couldn't stand it and gave Mathieu Flamini a yellow card, and also ordered Su Hao on the other side of the field to leave the field.

Got it!
Su Hao, who had originally gotten up and was planning a limping journey, could only cover his leg and leave the field from the nearest point after seeing the referee already preparing to issue a yellow card.

at this time!

The time displayed on the big screen was already 91 minutes into the countdown.

No miracles occurred.

With almost the entire team inside the goal, Bayern Munich ran out of the final minute of stoppage time after Toni Kroos's long-range shot went high and wide.

"Beep!!!"

That is, right after the football flew out of the stands.

The referee decisively blew the whistle to end the match!
"The game is over!!!"

Arsenal beat the mighty defending champions Bayern Munich 2-1 at the Allianz Stadium!

"Moreover, despite being down to ten men less than thirty minutes into the game, Arsenal incredibly managed to win the match thanks to Su Hao's brace."

"Two away goals, and a victory at that—every Arsenal fan will be absolutely thrilled with this result!"

"It was indeed a hard-fought victory! Throughout the match, Bayern's possession rate reached an astonishing 85%, and they also crushed Arsenal in passes, 864 to 243. As for shots, Bayern's were even more impressive, 28 to 4!"

The two commentators lamented how hard Arsenal had won.

Meanwhile, on the field at the same time!

After the referee blew his whistle, the entire Arsenal team almost instantly collapsed onto the grass.

Yes!

After running more than ten kilometers, even Kante, the only one standing in the starting lineup, was panting heavily!
As for Wenger on the sidelines.

After the referee blew his whistle, he naturally turned to look at Guardiola, with whom he had just had an unpleasant altercation.

Just as Wenger expected, Guardiola, who had previously been humble and polite to him, also laid his cards on the table after the defeat!

He didn't even bother to shake hands; Guardiola just walked straight into the players' tunnel, grumbling and cursing!

"Boss! We won! Boss!!!"

Guardiola is gone, but all the substitutes and coaching staff on the Arsenal bench excitedly surrounded Wenger.

Others don't know what the professor sacrificed for this match.

But after watching the professor struggle to get even 5 hours of sleep a night during these days of grueling preparations, the coaching staff even shed tears.

"Hey! What's your opinion on Szczesny's red card?"

"Hey! You scored two goals in your Champions League debut and led your team to victory against Bayern Munich. What are your thoughts right now?"

"his"

The game was over, but Su Hao, who had intended to greet his fellow Chinese fans, was instead surrounded by a huge crowd of reporters.

There was no way around it; he scored twice in his Champions League debut and helped the team defeat the mighty Bayern Munich.

The reporters naturally knew who would be the source of the breaking news in this match.

However, to their dismay, despite being in such a prominent position, Su Hao, who was surrounded by them, didn't say a single word. Instead, he rushed out of the group of reporters and ran to the group of Chinese fans who were still chattering and calling out Su Hao's name in Chinese.

"Su Hao is awesome!"

"Su Hao is awesome!"

"Su Hao is awesome!"

There weren't many other shouts. As soon as Su Hao stood in front of them, the hundreds of Chinese fans in the stands immediately shouted the most fitting word they could think of: "Awesome!"

Even at the very front of them, the Evergrande CEO, beaming with pride, gave a thunderous round of applause to his own protégé, Arsenal's new crown prince.

After lingering on the field for about twenty minutes until the away fans were satisfied and left, Su Hao and the others dragged their tired bodies back to the locker room.

Upon arriving in the locker room, Szczesny, who had cried when he left the field, excitedly gave each player a thoughtful drink.

Even when facing Su Hao, Arsenal's biggest contributor, Szczesny symbolically spread his hands in front of him and bowed his head in a gesture of worship!
Yes!

Compared to others, Szczesny, who almost became a villain for Arsenal, is truly grateful to Su Hao.

Otherwise, even before he gets back to London, his Twitter account will be flooded tonight by his own die-hard fans who are ruthless when it comes to attacking people!

"Su! Come with me!"

Just as everyone was laughing and joking about making Szczesny treat them to dinner that night, the professor pushed open the locker room door and called out Su Hao's name again.

Su Hao, who scored twice and won the MVP award for this match, was unsurprisingly chosen by Wenger as the player representative for the press conference once again.

The conference site.

Just as Wenger had predicted, when Su Hao appeared before the reporters, the eagerly waiting journalists immediately started snapping photos of him like crazy.

Moreover, throughout the entire press conference...

All the reporters were talking about only one name!
That's Su Hao!
The reporters were all staring at Su Hao so intently.

With a proud look on his face, Wenger naturally had nothing to hide!

In front of countless reporters with their cameras and microphones, the professor started to boast!

"Su is the most talented kid I've ever seen. Yes! You heard me right. In my opinion, Su's talent is the strongest I've ever seen among all the young players in all these years, without a doubt!"

"Furthermore, considering both offense and defense, I believe Su's future achievements may surpass those of all current players!"

"Huh? The Golden Boy Award?"

"Yes! There's no doubt about it. As long as Su Hao continues to perform normally, no one will be his match this year!"

"."

Wenger raved about his son, the crown prince, at the press conference!
The highly efficient reporters on the scene also started using their nimble hands almost simultaneously.

Not long after!
The latest information on the highly anticipated Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich match has appeared on the homepages of major English media outlets!

This is within China.
Even at five in the morning.

The name Su Hao appeared on countless people's QQ statuses and Weibo accounts!
Even CTV1's morning news devoted nearly a minute to a detailed report on Su Hao's explosive Champions League debut.

There's no way around it; for Chinese football fans, Su Hao, this rising star who grew up with Guangzhou Evergrande, has brought them just too many surprises lately, whether it's in national team matches, the AFC Champions League, or even the English Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

So many Chinese fans have started to lament why Su Hao couldn't have been born a year or two earlier.

If they had been born a year or two earlier, with Su Hao leading this Evergrande-branded national team, they could have easily qualified for the 2014 World Cup.
Moreover, it's not just about qualifying for the World Cup; fans even believe that with Su Hao on the team, advancing from the group stage isn't impossible.
A thrilling victory, and with his teammates egging him on, Szczesny, who was treating everyone, didn't hold back.

After spending a fortune to book the top floor of Munich's most exclusive nightclub, everyone on the Arsenal team, except for Su Hao, who was underage, went into a frenzy.

even
In the end, even Kanté, who was usually the most teacher-like person, didn't go back to the hotel.

Only Su Hao was able to fall asleep after scrolling through his phone for half the night.

The next day!

The entire Arsenal team began packing to return to London, but Su Hao asked the professor for leave and went out alone.

There was no other way. Old Xu had already gone to Germany. Putting everything else aside, Su Hao couldn't just ignore the favor of that 1 yuan transfer fee!
It was still one of Munich's top three-Michelin-starred restaurants. Su Hao and Zhang Linpeng met with a beaming Xu Jiaying.

What Su Hao originally thought was just an ordinary dinner with friends turned into a shocking piece of news!
Yes!

After Su Hao's rise to fame led to a surge in Evergrande's real estate business and stock prices, Xu Jiayin was already thinking of completely binding Evergrande with football.

This time, however, he plans to go big.

"Mr. Xu, are you really going to buy 28% of Usmanov's shares?"

At the dinner table, after Zhang Linpeng stood up to toast Lao Xu, Su Hao asked, somewhat startled.

There's no way around it. Just now, Lao Xu himself said that he has already reached an agreement with Arsenal for a jersey sponsorship. Starting in March, Arsenal players will have to have "Guangzhou Evergrande" written in front of their jerseys.

Su Hao knew about Evergrande buying the shirt sponsorship, but he was hearing for the first time Lao Xu's subsequent statement that he was in talks with Alisher Usmanov about acquiring shares.

Startled, Su Hao choked on the water in his mouth and immediately asked.

"What's fake about that? Based on Arsenal's current market value, Usmanov's 28% stake is only worth less than £3.6 million to £4 million. Evergrande can easily come up with that amount of money!"

tsk tsk.
40 million pounds is equivalent to 4 billion RMB!

This guy actually described it as just this little bit of money!
"But would Usmanov be willing to sell? Arsenal is about to open up our domestic market, so he probably won't sell at a time like this!"

"The negotiations are indeed a bit difficult, but we're lucky. These past few days, the Russian ruble has been depreciating wildly due to the Juttish financial group. It seems that Usmanov has already lost nearly 6 million pounds. And as you know, he's been kept out of Arsenal's management circle by Stan Kroenke for so many years. With these two points, as long as we throw enough money at it, we're not afraid he won't sell!"

Got it!
Seeing Lao Xu's confident demeanor, Su Hao realized that with Lao Xu's willingness to spend money, it seemed that nothing was truly impossible.

Russian oligarchs are not short of money, but it's not like they hate money. If Lao Xu really offers a price much higher than the market value, maybe...
Of course, Su Hao also knew that even if Lao Xu bought Usmanov's shares, Stan Kroenke would never allow Evergrande to enter Arsenal's management circle.

But the problem is...
Evergrande's purchase of Arsenal shares was not at all for the purpose of making money from football!

Evergrande's intention is to buy Arsenal, a long-term advertising platform.

Given Evergrande's current soaring performance in the domestic stock market, Xu Jiayin might invest several billion yuan to buy Arsenal shares today, and that very night he could earn back several times that amount in the stock market, not to mention the profits from selling houses!
In short...
For Lao Xu, Evergrande's acquisition of Arsenal is definitely a sure-fire deal!
Hey!
Seeing Lao Xu's radiant and triumphant appearance, Su Hao couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If the future
P.S.: Guys, I have two pieces of news to announce.

The first piece of news is bad!
Waaaaah, I hurt myself. Yesterday, I was helping someone lift something and I hit my big toe. It fractured my bone and my toenail was smashed and had to be pulled out piece by piece by the doctor. I've been in pain all day.

However, after this bad news comes the good news.

Banmian is taking a break at home to rest. Starting tomorrow, Banmian will be able to enter a long-term, high-intensity update mode, hahaha! Although it hurts a bit, Banmian is truly experiencing pain and pleasure at the same time.

Finally, I can properly take care of all my readers.

Finally, as usual, considering how hard Banmian has worked, I'm begging for monthly votes! It's the end of the month, so let Banmian enjoy the top spot on the new book monthly vote chart for a few more days!
