Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 104 The Arc of the Century: Wenger's all-or-nothing gamble and the record-breaking 17-year-old new captain.

Huawei knows how to seize opportunities.

On the same day that Arsenal and Guangzhou Evergrande jerseys were unveiled at the Emirates Stadium, Huawei's MATE7 also went on sale throughout Japan.

The Japanese are a really strange people sometimes!
Su Hao has never said anything about liking Japanese fans in public. To be more precise, all the news about Su Hao that is associated with Japanese football is about Su Hao's massacre of Japanese teams!

However, after Soo Ho joined Arsenal and became a player who could potentially surpass Park Ji-sung in Premier League history, a number of Soo Ho fans suddenly emerged in Japan.

In their words, Su Hao is the representative of Asian football!
For this reason, Japan, which already has a strong football culture, saw a lot of Japanese people pay attention to the Huawei MATE7 endorsed by Su Hao and Arimura after the advertisement featuring them appeared!

of course
While focusing on their phones, many people have also become fans of the high-颜值 (good-looking) couple, Su Hao and Youcun!

Just like right now at the Emirates Stadium.

Whether it was a coincidence or not, the Emirates Stadium's cameramen were also drawn to the bouncy little girl from the VIP stands.

Just as Su Hao was celebrating his goal, Arimura was unexpectedly shown on the big screen.

Then, seeing an adorable Asian girl celebrating for Su Hao like this, many people naturally made the connection!
Yes!

Su Hao has been in England for more than two months. Unlike other Arsenal players, Su Hao has had zero scandals so far.

Let's not talk about minors. In the open land of England, 17 years old is already considered a veteran.

Now that's great! As soon as this beautiful Asian girl, Arimura, appeared, the tens of thousands of Arsenal fans in the stands immediately started whistling as if they understood!

"Wow! Look at the stands today!"

The entire stadium started talking about the person in the stands.

Huang Jianxiang, who was in the commentary booth, was naturally curious as well!
"This is Kasumi Arimura! A 19-year-old rising Japanese actress, she just filmed a mobile phone advertisement for a domestic brand with Su Hao a few days ago! It seems that Su Hao gave this partner a VIP ticket because of this advertisement!"

Old Huang is just a gossip, but Zhan Jun had already done his homework.
-
[Damn it, how did he end up with a Japanese guy? What's he thinking about all day long instead of focusing on football?]
-
[Exactly! He's just playing football, why is he thinking about women at such a young age? Doesn't Su Hao know how many promising young stars have been ruined by women?]
-
[Holy crap, what are you guys thinking? Zhan Jun already said it's just a collaboration with Su Hao in an advertisement shoot, he's just giving his co-star a ticket so he can experience the Premier League atmosphere. Your thoughts are truly disgusting!]
-
【What do you mean, "thinking about women at such a young age"? Damn it, you weren't thinking about them at 17? You were probably already shaving your skin raw by 15!】
-
[Haha, well said! I think this Japanese girl is pretty good. I just want to hook up with Japanese girls. Putting everything else aside, haven't you ever fantasized about twin-tailed Japanese schoolgirls in porn?]
-
[Tsk tsk tsk! The guy upstairs with the twin tails is a kindred spirit! I love the feeling of having twin tails, that kind of lightning-fast speed.]

The fans started gossiping with laughter.

Meanwhile, the Arsenal players on the pitch continued to fight back with all their might against Hull City's defensive wall!

However, it was precisely this all-out attack that led Arsenal to score another goal in the 32nd minute of the match.

It's still Su Hao's mid-lane coordination!
Ramsey on the right wing took advantage of an offside trap and instantly received a brilliant lob pass from Su Hao, dribbling into the penalty area!

And just as the Hull City goalkeeper rushed out, Giroud dribbled the ball sideways into the inside corner, and this time he did not disappoint Arsenal fans.

A sliding tackle shot!
Giroud helped Arsenal extend their lead!
At the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal players, amidst the frenzied cheers of over 50,000 Arsenal fans, besieged Hull City.
Meanwhile, at the same time at Anfield Stadium!

Liverpool, who are neck and neck with Arsenal in the standings, are facing their toughest match of the season.

Yes, Liverpool have met Manchester City, the league leaders who have almost wiped out the entire Premier League in one round!
Before the match, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was hoping to rely on home advantage to grab 3 points and re-enter the title race, but to his surprise, the game ended in defeat in less than 10 minutes.

Yaya Toure breached his own goal with a superb world-class strike that could easily be ranked in the top 3 of this round of the Premier League.

Falling behind early in the game caused Liverpool's morale to plummet instantly, and Pellegrini, who excels at turning the tide, immediately launched a relentless attack to capitalize on their weakness!
It was precisely in this offensive frenzy launched by Manchester City that...

Liverpool unfortunately conceded another goal to Manchester City from a corner kick!
0: 2!

Less than forty minutes later, Liverpool were already two goals down to Manchester City.

In the second half, although Brendan Rodgers pressed forward with all his might, he only managed to pull one back thanks to Suarez's individual brilliance.

Ultimately, at their home stadium, Anfield, Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool lost 1-2 to Manchester City, falling behind by 3 points once again.

With Arsenal securing a resounding 4-0 victory at home, Liverpool has been completely knocked out of the title race by Arsenal and Manchester City after this round!

Liverpool fans are in despair!
This season they were so close to the championship trophy they coveted most, but no one expected that the team they mocked for collapsing halfway through the season was not the poor Arsenal they looked down on, but rather themselves, who had always been high and mighty!

After the league ended, Wenger very humanely gave the Arsenal players, who had been playing continuously for a long time, a two-day holiday.

There's no other way; for the next two weeks, Arsenal will really be facing a three-front war!

FA Cup, Champions League Round of 16 second round, and the league.
If the players don't get some rest soon, Wenger is afraid his own players will collapse before the game even starts!
Moreover, it seemed that Su Hao and Kant, whom he was most worried about, were recklessly continuing their extra training.

The professor insisted that the training ground staff shut down the training ground immediately.

Well, after actually seeing the closed training ground the next day, Su Hao and Kant had no choice but to leave the place where they had become addicted to sweating it out.

For two days, since Arimura-chan had already gone back, Su Hao could only hang out with Kant. However, in those two days, the two golden partners managed to explore London, known as the capital of Europe.

Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, British Museum
In short...
After wandering around like this, it seems like the two days have been wasted.

With the holiday over, Arsenal naturally returned to preparations quickly.

However, as preparations began, Wenger's troubles returned.

Yes!

Wenger had previously considered abandoning the unrealistic Champions League and focusing on the league.

But who could have imagined that his team would actually win at the Allianz Arena? After this victory, Wenger had no choice but to temporarily put aside the 29th round of the league.

After all, if he still thought about having Su Hao and his group play two games a week when facing the formidable Bayern Munich, Arsenal might be in a terrible state if they were to be defeated by Bayern!
that's it!
After securing a place in the Champions League knockout stage, Arsenal fielded a completely reserve lineup for the 29th round of the league, excluding their starting goalkeeper.

But even after Wenger had prepared for the worst, his own substitutes gave him a big surprise.

Yes, this Arsenal team with a completely reserve squad actually won at Swansea's home ground!
Although it was thanks to an own goal by Swansea defender Tiendali, a win is a win. Arsenal were lucky to get the 3 points they had given up and continue to clinch Pellegrini's Manchester City.

2014 3 Month 8 Day.

There are less than four days left until Arsenal's Champions League rematch with Bayern Munich.

That same day at noon, Guardiola, fresh from a 5-0 thrashing of Schalke 04 in the league, led his Bayern Munich squad to London International Airport.

Although Guardiola and Wenger had a falling out on the sidelines in the first round, after a few days of digestion, Guardiola has once again put on his mask of hypocrisy, which he is now immune to all harm.

"The professor is a head coach I have always respected. Although we had some disagreements in the last game, I believe it will not affect our personal relationship!"

"We did lose the first game, but Arsenal were only leading by one goal, so even at Arsenal's home ground, we still have a great chance of advancing to the next round!"

Facing reporters' interviews, Guardiola appeared relaxed. Of course, he wasn't the only one; the Bayern Munich stars behind him also seemed to lack any sense of urgency about the upcoming do-or-die battle.

Yes!

Although Arsenal won the first match, their possession, number of shots, and the entire course of the game were all significantly different.

Bayern Munich absolutely crushed Arsenal!
It was precisely because of this disparate data comparison that the entire Bayern team felt that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they could easily secure a resounding victory in the second match and send the injury-plagued Arsenal packing!
Bayern Munich played with a relaxed attitude and no pressure. On the contrary, Arsenal, who had the advantage in the score and away goals, started a secret training camp again after Guardiola and his team arrived.

For Wenger, whose squad is far less formidable than Guardiola's on paper, even though his Arsenal currently holds the initiative!
However, the professor was still hesitant about how to choose his playing style in this home game.

Is it going to be a defensive counter-attacking style like in the last game?

Or perhaps they should simply engage in a fierce, attacking battle with Bayern at their own Emirates Stadium?
If they were to play a defensive counter-attacking style, Guardiola would definitely have been preparing for this period of time, given that he clearly suffered a loss in the first game.

So if we really go all out and play an attacking game against Bayern...
Wenger is indeed worried about whether his current Arsenal team, led by a single star player, can really compete with Bayern Munich's all-star lineup.

And so, after three days of secret preparations without any news, the preparations for war began.

The second round of the Champions League Round of 3 officially began on March 12, 2014!
At the pre-match press conference, when faced with Guardiola's hypocritical expression, the professor also put on a skillful performance.

Even though both sides had probably cursed each other countless times in their hearts by now, in front of the reporters' flashing cameras, both Professor and Guardiola pretended to be magnanimous and praised their opponent.

Of course, once back in the locker room, the two immediately revealed their true intentions and began their final pre-battle pep talk.

Inside the away team's locker room.

Guagua remained as decisive and efficient as ever.

Just as Wenger had predicted, Guardiola was well-prepared this time after suffering from the setbacks of counter-attacking.

Schweinsteiger is no longer in the starting lineup, and former Dortmund player Götze, who has stronger attacking power and creativity in the middle and on the wings, has replaced Schweinsteiger to form a new midfield trident with Lahm and Kroos!

"Mario! I want you to keep running non-stop for this match!"

"I want you to disrupt their dense defensive lines with your running!"

"And you can choose to knock on the door anytime, anywhere!"

“Tony, you should do what we did in training before: while Götze disrupts the opponent's defense, observe Mandzukic's position, and when necessary, send the ball into the air so that Mandzukic can launch a second attack.”

"."

With his rapid-fire speech, Guardiola held up the tactics board and explained to each Bayern player the problems they would soon encounter.

But
What Guagua didn't know was that his prediction was wrong this time.

In his arrogant mindset, after being so thoroughly outmatched in the first round, and facing a Bayern Munich team with such a formidable lineup, the professor would surely choose the defensive counter-attacking strategy that he had already tasted success with.

But he seems to have forgotten!

This elderly man with graying temples, even when facing his most unbeatable Barcelona team, still dared to engage in a fearless attacking battle with them at Camp Nou.

Not to mention that his team no longer has that Super Rio who could strike fear into any opponent!

"This is our Emirates Stadium!"

"Can you hear the Arsenal anthem being played by the more than 50,000 fans in the stands, filling the entire sky?"

"Stop thinking about holding out to the death!"

"In this stadium, since becoming Arsenal manager, I have never asked my players to give up attacking when facing the enemy!"

"children!"

"You've already beaten them once!"

"But what was the result? Those arrogant Germans still told the media that we stole the victory using inferior delaying tactics!"

"They refuse to admit they ever lost to us!"

"They still say they can easily defeat us!"

"Alright then! Today! Right here at our Emirates Stadium!"

I'm going to show them!

"What is the real Arsenal like?!"

Inside the home team's locker room!

After patiently reviewing all the tactics as usual, the professor surprisingly gave the whole team a pre-match doping injection ceremony.

To be honest, the Arsenal players, who had never been so provocative and stimulating by the professor before, were all genuinely moved to tears after listening to his long, inspiring speech.

Yes!

Although these Arsenal players don't have the same exaggerated fame as Bayern Munich.

But at least in England, in the Premier League!

These guys are the kind of people who can do whatever they want!
At 7:45 pm local time in London on March 12.

Finally, urged by the staff, the players from both teams stood in the players' tunnel!
At the same time, the Champions League opening theme, which had ignited the passion of countless fans, finally resounded in the stadium.

"Kick Barcelona! Kick Barcelona! Kick Bayern Munich! Our team is finished!"

On Bayern's side, Lahm stood at the front holding the team flag.

Meanwhile, Arsenal's third captain, Ramsey, stood in a row with Lahm.

The two of them stared ahead with cold expressions and no eye contact.

Similarly, behind them!
Neither team member made a sound or showed any emotion.

this moment!
The atmosphere was incredibly tense!

There were no conflicts, and no pre-match incidents.

All that remained was the terrifying calm before a real battle!

"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"

"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!!!"

"This is a live broadcast of the second round of the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League Round of 16!"

"Arsenal at home vs. Bayern Munich!"

"The players from both teams are already standing in their respective halves of the field!"

".surface!"

"Beep!!!"

"With the referee's whistle!"

"The competition has officially begun!"

"First, let's look at the starting lineups for both sides!"

"Bayern Munich's starting goalkeeper, Neuer, is attacking from left to right in his traditional white away jersey!"

"Defenders: Alaba, Boateng, Dante, Rafinha!"

"Single defensive midfielder: Lahm!"

"Two central midfielders: Kroos and Götze!"

"Left winger: Ribery, Right winger: Robben!"

"Lone striker: Mandzukic!"

"Compared to the last match, Guardiola made some adjustments to the central midfield position, replacing Schweinsteiger, the original starting central midfielder! I believe Guardiola made this choice in order to maintain a stronger attacking presence in the midfield!"

"On the other side, Arsenal's starting goalkeeper, Fabianski, is attacking from right to left in his traditional red home jersey!"

"Defenders: Gibbs, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Sagna!"

Midfield positioning: Chamberlain remains on the left, Suarez and Kanté partner in the center, and Ramsey on the right!

"Two strikers: Podolski and Giroud!"

"Compared to Guardiola, who didn't change the formation but only changed one starting player, Wenger definitely made a significant change in this match!"

"Podolski and Giroud made their first appearance of the season in a 4-4-2 formation as a strike duo. Does this mean Wenger is going to go all out against Bayern?"

Although the two commentators in the commentary booth had received the starting lineup an hour ago, even after digesting it for so long, they still couldn't help but marvel at Wenger's audacious move!
Yes, they could have eliminated the powerful Bayern Munich by relying on defense, but instead they chose the most aggressive and attacking approach!
The two commentators were astonished, and Guardiola, standing in front of his own bench, was equally shocked.

He truly hadn't expected Wenger to dare to go toe-to-toe with his Bayern Munich, especially after he had deliberately switched to a purely attacking formation!

"Bayern Munich has possession of the ball first!"

"Mandzukic, as usual, passed the ball directly behind him!"

"Götze received the ball and, before Giroud could tackle him, passed it to Toni Kroos beside him!"

Without hesitation, the moment Kroos received the ball, he launched a long pass to Robben on the right wing, who had already surged into Arsenal's backfield.

Emirates Stadium!

When the referee blew his whistle, the more than 50,000 Arsenal fans in the stands immediately gave their players the loudest cheers.

It was amidst this intense shout that Chamberlain and Gibbs charged at Robben, one after the other.

Not only these two, but Kanté also came eyeing Robben's left flank.

In this match, Kante was not assigned by Wenger to defend on the flanks. His only task was to roam around the center to mark Ribery and Robben's cut-in moves.

Perhaps because Kanté had left such a deep impression on him in the previous match, Robben, who had originally planned to cut inside, immediately abandoned the idea after seeing Kanté take his position.

After spotting Rafinha following up out of the corner of his eye, Robben didn't hesitate to push the ball diagonally towards Arsenal's byline.

However, just as he passed the ball up, before Rafinha could even receive it, Gibbs strode up to Rafinha's side.

After receiving the ball, Rafinha realized he had lost the opportunity to cross, so he could only turn around and pass the ball back to Rafinha.

Since then!

Bayern's first probing attack was successfully forced back by Arsenal.

However, this pressure brought the game back to the same rhythm it had been in ten days ago.

Yes, this Barcelona version of Bayern Munich is once again playing their ineffective possession game that fans are already tired of.

From Kroos to Lahm, then from Lahm to the two wingers, then to the two center-backs, and finally back to Kroos's feet without him even realizing it.

In short, Bayern Munich seemed to be passing the ball back and forth aimlessly, as if they were just trying to control it.

After countless passes, amidst boos from over 50,000 fans, Kroos, finally revealing his true intentions, delivered a lobbed pass to Mandzukic in the center.

At the same time, Mandzukic, who was at the edge of Arsenal's penalty area, quickly retreated and passed the ball back before Mertesacker could catch up.

at this time!

From the moment Bayern started playing their possession game, Götze, who had been darting around everywhere, rushed over as if he already knew where Mandzukic's pass would land.

Before Su Hao could catch up.

Upon reaching the ball, Götze immediately volleyed it without stopping it.

After passing the ball for a full four minutes, Bayern finally completed their first attack on goal.

However, due to Su Hao's defensive presence, Götze, who had no time to prepare, successfully completed the shot, but his effort sent the ball high into the Arsenal stands.

"Oh dear! It's only because Götze was too hasty with that shot! Otherwise, Arsenal would really be in danger!"

"Yes, indeed! Looking at this Bayern Munich team now, they really do resemble Barcelona more and more. Just like we said before, it's like slowly boiling water. Arsenal must develop their own rhythm and tactics. If they follow Guardiola's rhythm, Arsenal will eventually fall apart."

A sudden, high-volley shot caused Huang Jianxiang and Zhan Jun in the commentary booth to gasp in surprise.

However, just as Zhan Jun was worried that Arsenal would fall into Bayern Munich's rhythm trap, the Arsenal players on the field immediately answered Zhan Jun with their actions.

Yes!

Just like Wenger's pre-match shouts in the locker room, after successfully defending against Bayern's complex and protracted attack, Arsenal launched their simplest and most direct Gunners-style fast attack!
Fabianski's long kick in front of the goal.

Su Hao easily passed the ball to Chamberlain on the left wing during a header contest with Kroos in the middle.

On the defensive end, Chamberlain was constantly under pressure from Robben's attacks and complained incessantly, but when it came to attacking...

Chamberlain, who already possessed extremely high speed and impact, was also a force that Robben found difficult to handle!
After a series of extreme starts and stops, the moment Robben was out of balance, Chamberlain immediately flicked the ball to the wing and then used his acceleration to outpace the Flying Dutchman.

Moreover, in that instant when he sprinted wildly to the edge of Bayern Munich's penalty area!

Chamberlain quickly passed the ball out before Bayern's full-back Rafinha could arrive.

Without any unnecessary steps, with Giroud and Podolski as the two receiving points, Arsenal played the most traditional English long pass and cross against Bayern Munich!
Within the restricted area.

Boateng and Dante stood on either side of Giroud and Podolski.

As early as in the locker room, after Guardiola received the starting lineup, he assigned the task of defending against high balls to the two players.

So, although Arsenal's attacking pace surprised the two of them, they still followed Guardiola's instructions and used their bodies to hold off Arsenal's two tall players!

just
Guardiola correctly predicted that Wenger might use the simplest long ball and cross strategy, but he didn't anticipate that in this match, Wenger had prepared more than just Giroud and Podolski as tall targets for Bayern.

Just as Boateng and Dante confidently leaped high toward the ball passed by Chamberlain...

Suddenly, a figure much taller than the two of them shot out from their side!
Yes!

Su Hao!

The Arsenal number 11, Su Hao, who scored two goals at the Allianz Arena in the last match and made all Bayern fans remember his name!

Just before Boateng's forehead touched the ball.

Su Hao, who was rushing over, slammed his forehead into the football first.

Boateng was stunned!

Before he jumped, he did see Su Hao approaching the penalty area, but he really didn't expect that China's number 11 would be so fast.

Moreover, with this level of acceleration, such a header, as long as it's within the goal frame, is a formidable weapon, even if Neuer is incredibly strong.
Boateng stared wide-eyed at the football!

And then a muffled thud was heard.

The football, which was just in front of him, shot like an arrow toward Neuer's goal.

Just as Boateng had worried!
Neuer had no chance to react to such a rapid header and could only watch helplessly as the ball flew towards the top right corner of his own goal.

"Bang!!!"

However, just as Guardiola, even in front of the bench, nervously covered his mouth with his hand.

A crisp impact sound instantly turned all Bayern fans' sorrow into joy!

"oops!!!"

"What a pity about that goal!!!"

"Neuer had already surrendered!"

"In the end, it hit the crossbeam and bounced out of bounds!"

"Arsenal missed a golden opportunity to score!"

"If this ball goes in, the rest of the game will be much easier!"

Old Huang in the commentary booth exclaimed in regret!
Similarly, the more than 50,000 Arsenal die-hard fans at the Emirates Stadium also let out a resounding sigh.

but!

Just as all the Arsenal fans were sighing, the professor, with his hands in his pockets and a sharp gaze, nodded heavily at his own Su Hao on the field with satisfaction.

Yes, in the professor's opinion, although this header did not change the score, it made those Munich people who were just high and mighty finally realize where they really were!
Less than five minutes into the game, both teams had an excellent scoring opportunity.

This has brought the super battle, which is crucial to the survival of both teams, into a fierce and intense phase!
Without holding back, the two teams launched a frenzied attack on each other like madmen.

7th minute of the match!

Bayern Munich continued to rely on their complex passing game, and Arsenal's left flank found an opportunity.

Ribery and Götze combined with several top-notch short passes in front of Arsenal's goal, eventually pushing the ball to the edge of Arsenal's penalty area.

Ribery met Götze's brilliant backheel pass with a deft shot, curling the ball towards the goalkeeper with his right foot.

However, just when all Arsenal fans were about to close their eyes in worry, the ever-present Kante changed the direction of the already shot ball with an extreme sliding tackle at the most crucial moment.

It was Kanté's tackle that caused the ball, which could have easily curled into the far corner, to graz the post and go out of bounds.

Arsenal escaped a disaster!
With two top-class tall players, Suarez and Mertesacker, present during this corner kick tactic, Bayern Munich naturally posed no threat to Arsenal's goal.

After Bayern's attack ended, Arsenal naturally returned the favor by pressing forward with their entire team.

The 10th minute of the game.

Su Hao received a cross from his own full-back near the center circle.

At that moment, both Kroos and Götze rushed towards Su Hao the instant he received the ball.

However, Su Hao, who had already upgraded his ball control to 86, easily dodged Götze's initial tackle by simply moving the ball slightly below him.

Immediately afterward, as Kroos extended his right foot to cover and swung it diagonally, Su Hao used the sole of his left foot to pull the ball from the left to the right like playing a violin!

With a slight pull, Su Hao had already evaded the combined encirclement of Götze and Kroos, two players who were not particularly good at defense.

And just as he dodged the encirclement, Su Hao used his right foot to push the ball forward with incredible speed!
In an instant!
Su Hao had already poked the ball out of Bayern's central defense.

"Wow! Beautiful!"

"That pull-back, that touch! This is a world-class midfielder's individual performance!"

"Su Hao!!!"

"They've broken through Bayern's first line of defense in the middle!"

"Lamu is up!"

"Kross is still chasing!"

"no problem!"

With a flick of his left foot, Su Hao passed the ball to Kante, who was making a run alongside him!

"Two-for-one!!!"

"Kanté quickly sent the ball forward again!"

"Su Hao!!!"

"Very fast!!!"

"We've reached Su Hao's strongest position!!!"

On the court, Su Hao had already raised his right leg high!
Huang Jianxiang, who was in the commentary booth, had already stood up excitedly.

Not only Lao Huang, but also the more than 50,000 Arsenal die-hard fans in the stands who had been shouting wildly until now jumped up from their seats the moment Su Hao raised his foot.

Everyone stared with fervor at their star player, who had brought Arsenal countless victories.

"boom!!!"

This was the most insane explosion the entire match had seen since it began.

It was a full thirty meters from the goal.

Su Hao sent the ball towards Bayern Munich's goal with his signature powerful shot.

at the same time!

Neuer, the world's number one goalkeeper who had been fully prepared in front of the goal, also made a prediction and threw himself out with all his might.

The two players and the ball engaged in their final showdown in the air!

However, after Su Hao and Kant completed their free-flowing one-two, there was no one around Su Hao to interfere.

Therefore, this shot was perfect in both speed and angle.

Even though the world's best goalkeeper predicted the right direction, the ball still grazed his fingertips, passed the goal line, and slammed heavily into the net behind Neuer.

"Beep!!!"

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

"pretty!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

Goal!!!!

"The match is in its 10th minute!"

"Arsenal have scored!!!"

"Su Hao!"

"Su Hao!!!"

"Su Hao has scored his third goal in this Champions League campaign!"

"A super cannon kick that amazed everyone!"

"Su Hao has breached Neuer's goal for the third time!"

"1:0!!!"

"Arsenal took the lead in the 10th minute!"

"An unbelievable super heavy cannon!"

"A super heavy cannon with absolute violent aesthetics!"
-
[Holy crap! Su Hao is awesome! That shot was fucking powerful, a smash from 30 meters out, haha, it's these kinds of shots that get the blood pumping!]
-
[There's nothing left to criticize, nothing left to criticize! I was saying before that Su Hao would be brought down by the Japanese, but look at this, with this kind of strength, I'm afraid the Japanese can't withstand it!]
-
[Damn it, can you stop talking so disgustingly?! Do you think everyone's like you, thinking about nothing but lust all day long?]
-
[Ahem, to be honest, while what the guy on the second floor said was indeed a bit blunt, I feel like most people are probably like him, right? And the IP address of the guy on the third floor seems to be...]
-
[Haha, this match was really exciting to watch! Both Bayern and Arsenal were playing completely unrestrained. At this pace, there will definitely be a lot of goals. I just wonder if Su Hao can score his Champions League knockout stage hat-trick!]
-
Wow! If Su Hao really does get a hat trick, wouldn't that break another record?

The moment Su Hao scored, commentator Lao Huang went wild with his roaring celebration.

Meanwhile, on the field at the same time!

After watching the ball smash into Bayern's goal, Su Hao immediately ran excitedly towards his own substitutes' bench.

Without any hesitation, upon seeing his professor, Su Hao immediately swept him up in his arms.

Then Giroud, Podolski, Kante, and even Arteta on the bench all naturally surrounded him.

During this period of closed training, the entire Arsenal team has been holding their breath and eager to prove themselves!
Especially after the media were all predicting that Arsenal would be decisively defeated by Bayern at home!

Everyone, including Wenger, was only thinking about silencing the media and fans who were pessimistic about Arsenal.

it's good now!

Facing the seemingly invincible Bayern Munich, Wenger did not choose the defensive approach that everyone expected. Instead, the professor deployed his lineup and launched an attacking offensive against Bayern Munich.

They've even taken the lead with a goal so far!
Especially this kind of super world-class goal that boosts morale.

This goal naturally sent all Arsenal fans into a frenzy.

Of course, this was happening while Arsenal and its more than 50,000 fans were in a state of complete euphoria.

The bald man not far away, as usual, showed no annoyance or anger.

The bald head, with hardly any hair left, began to work at high speed, thinking about the countermeasures Bayern Munich needed to take in the upcoming match.

It didn't take long before Guardiola called out to Götze and Kroos on the field.

In the eyes of the proud Guardiola, there is no defensive strategy that avoids direct confrontation.

This goal was precisely the opportunity for Bayern to completely kill the game!

Since Wenger wants to defeat Bayern Munich through attacking prowess, he will also follow suit and increase his speed.

Guardiola was eager to see how Arsenal, with only Su Hao as their key playmaker, could compete with his all-star Bayern Munich team, after they had completely unleashed their attacking prowess and started playing attacking football!
that's it!
After Su Hao's explosive world wave appeared.

The most intense attacking battle since the start of this Champions League season has officially begun.

With their swords drawn, both sides lunged at each other again without holding back.

And it was precisely after this all-out offensive began.

Gradually, Bayern Munich's two attacking flanks, hailed as the world's best, began to show their true power.

The 17th minute of the game.

Ribery received a cross from Kroos near the center circle. At the same time, Götze made a quick run to help Ribery clear the midfield threat from Podolski.

With a flick of his toe, Ribery began a frantic sprint down Arsenal's right flank.

Ramsey immediately pressed forward, but as he turned his body to lower his center of gravity in an attempt to force Ribery to stop, Ribery, who was still advancing at high speed, seemed not to see Ramsey and charged straight at him.

However, just as Ramsey gritted his teeth and prepared to collide head-on with Ribery, Ribery, who was originally speeding, suddenly made an extreme side-swerve stop in front of Ramsey.

And after Ramsey stumbled during the sudden stop, he quickly started again!

Ribery's signature top-level rhythmic dribbling!

With Ribery's sudden movement, Ramsey was instantly left behind.

And Ribery's performance wasn't over yet.

Just as Gibbs, who was trailing behind, rushed towards Ribery with all his might, Ribery quickly passed the ball towards Götze.

Then he accelerated by circling around her!
And just like that, Arsenal's right flank defense was completely breached by Ribery and Götze's one-two pass.

"That ball is dangerous!"

"Ribéry!!!"

"high speed!"

"They've gone straight into the restricted area!"

"Mertesacker has filled in for me!"

"Instead of shooting blindly, Ribery used his left foot to send the ball towards the edge of the penalty area!"

"Götze is coming up to follow up!!!"

"Fabianski launched an attack to block, and Götze made a direct pass!"

"Mandzukic!!!"

"Right-footed shot!!!"

"Su Hao chased back and dove to block the ball!"

"However, Robben managed to grab the second ball!"

"Goal!"

"The match is in its 19th minute!"

"Bayern Munich has equalized!"

"A solo performance from the left wing, showcasing Ribery's absolute best!"

"Although Arsenal's entire team defended to the best of their ability, Robben's follow-up shot still put the ball into Arsenal's goal!"

"1:1!"

"The aggregate score is 3-2! The gap has been narrowed to just one goal!"

Bayern Munich scored!
It was this goal that brought Arsenal fans, who were celebrating their advancement to the Champions League quarterfinals, to a sudden halt.

Robben, who scored such a crucial goal, naturally followed up with his signature flying, flipping, and sliding knee slide in front of his away fans.

Courtside.

After Robben scored, Guardiola was naturally excited and immediately raised his arms and shouted along the sideline.

As for the Arsenal bench.

The professor, who had just recovered from the excitement of Su Hao's goal, shook his head somewhat helplessly.

There's really nothing we can do about conceding that goal!
Ribery's attacking ability on the wing requires a dense defensive formation to suppress him, but when Arsenal went all out against Bayern, apart from Suarez and Kanté who could provide some defensive support, Arsenal really didn't have any extra troops to limit him.

And this is just Ribery alone.

On the other side, there's an even more terrifying Robben!
However, even so, the professor still had no intention of changing his tactics!

Just like he shouted it out in the locker room.

In this stadium where he has given everything, he has chosen to face his opponent in Arsenal's most dazzling way!
So whatever the outcome!

He won't change at all!

The professor looked firmly at his players on the field.

At the same time, the Arsenal players on the field, frustrated by conceding a goal, instinctively looked towards their own substitutes' bench.

The moment their eyes met.

Without uttering any superfluous words, the professor simply extended his right hand with an air of authority, pointing firmly and resolutely towards Bayern Munich.

Bayern's celebration has ended.

Arsenal restarted play from midfield.

In the eyes of Guardiola and Bayern Munich's top stars, after Ribery's crazy attack down the wing and his goal for Bayern, Arsenal should at least tighten their formation.

But to everyone's surprise, right after the referee blew his whistle, the entire Arsenal team once again pressed forward into Bayern Munich's half without hesitation.

Bayern Munich has some of the best wingers in the world.

Arsenal also boasts the Suarez-Cannavaro duo, whose understanding with the team has been maxed out.

When facing the central duo of Götze and Kroos, whose defensive abilities are not particularly outstanding, the Sukamuljo connection often does not require many complicated passes to easily break through the middle.

Just like in this attack where Arsenal quickly pushed forward after conceding the ball!
After a one-two with the retreating Podolski, Su Hao delivered a diagonal pass to Kanté.

After using his speed and body to knock Kroos aside and receive the pass back from Kanté, Su Hao unhesitatingly used his left foot to curl an absolutely unstoppable arc and send the ball to Chamberlain, who was making a crazy run on the left!
There's nothing complicated or unnecessary!

With a quick tap of his left foot, Chamberlain glanced at Giroud and Podolski's approximate positions before lobbing the ball into the penalty area.

This time!
Giroud did not disappoint Arsenal fans.

In the instant he gritted his teeth and squeezed Boateng behind him, Giroud headed the ball toward Neuer's goal.

However, although Giroud's header was of excellent quality, Neuer relied on his anticipation to successfully deflect the ball over the crossbar with one hand just as it crossed the goal line.

Giroud missed a chance to quickly overtake again!

“When Parlor was our Ray of light!!!”

"Gunner see the Arsenal playing some Hot Stuff!!"

"Let's see the Arsenal showing them how!!!"

“Come on you Arsenal - yeah you are the Hot Stuff!!!”

A crazy offensive battle, with both teams unleashing their full offensive potential!
And the Arsenal anthem that resounded through the Emirates Stadium!

That night, Emirates Stadium became the most adrenaline-pumping place in all of London!
Not just inside the stadium, but also in the bars of the Arsenal neighborhood in London!

Wherever red appears!
Then there will definitely be the wildest roar for Arsenal.

On the field!
After more than forty minutes of frantic, high-scoring back-and-forth, the players from both teams finally seemed to stop and catch their breath.

However, just when everyone thought the 1-1 score would remain until halftime.

These forty minutes not only saw Su Hao participate in all of Arsenal's attacks, but also marked another historic moment where he became the focus of all of London, appearing in the most crucial defensive position every time.

An attacking opportunity from Bayern Munich.

After a desperate struggle with Kanté to steal the ball from Robben at the edge of the penalty area, Su Hao, who then received the ball, once again demonstrated his world-class passing ability.

During these few days of closed training, Arsenal have practiced this kind of long pass counter-attack after winning the ball in their own half countless times.

This time, long before Su Hao and Kanté rushed towards Robben, Podolski had already strode towards Bayern's backfield.

Therefore, the instant Su Hao raised his right leg, Podolski had already rushed in front of Dante, who was trailing behind Bayern.

"Snapped!!!"

Accompanied by the loud bang of Su Hao striking the football with the inside of his right foot.

Podolski had already charged straight past Dante, who was slowly turning around!
A stunning arc, like a rainbow, arched over the Emirates Stadium, taking the breath of the more than 50,000 Arsenal fans in the stands, and even those who had been waiting in various bars and squares!

Dante chased after him in a panic!
Neuer, standing in front of the goal, rushed out of the penalty area without hesitation!
only!
This exquisite arc, as if calculated perfectly, landed precisely in front of the speeding Podolski.

There were no unnecessary movements.

Facing Neuer rushing towards him, Podolski simply flicked the ball and changed direction, easily getting past the super goalkeeper Neuer who was about to shine in the World Cup!

"Podolsky!!!"

"It's over!!!"

"no problem!!!"

A powerful shot!

"The football has crossed the goal line!!!"

"pretty!!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"It's still Su Hao!!"

"An absolutely world-class assist!"

"Su Hao helped Podolski score his first goal in this Champions League knockout stage!"

"2:1!!!"

"Arsenal have taken the lead again!"

"2:1!"

"4-2 after two rounds!"

"Arsenal have once again firmly grasped the initiative in their own hands!"
-
[Here it comes! Here it comes! Su Hao's signature long pass from his time at Guangzhou Evergrande is here! Haha! 2-1! Arsenal are awesome, Su Hao is awesome!]
-
[Sobbing, I'm getting teary-eyed! Look, Arsenal's jerseys now have "Guangzhou Evergrande" written on them! As a Guangzhou fan, seeing this really made me tear up!]
-
Indeed, without Su Hao, Guangzhou Evergrande's dominance in the AFC Champions League this year doesn't seem as strong. I wonder if they can make another run for the title!
-
[What are you talking about, Guangzhou Evergrande? I'm watching Arsenal Evergrande now, haha, isn't that more enjoyable to watch than Guangzhou Evergrande? And they've even pushed Bayern to this point!]
-
[Guagua is probably crying now. In two games, Su Hao scored three goals and provided one assist. Guagua probably wants to slap himself a few times right now, since Bayern Munich was the first to want to buy Su Hao!]

Huang Jianxiang, in the commentary booth, roared as always.

And now!
The Emirates Stadium, already filled with the passionate chants of Arsenal, erupted once again.

Countless Arsenal die-hards rushed toward Podolski as he charged toward them like madmen.

In front of the substitutes' bench!

The professor, who had kept his hands in his pockets all this time, finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his weathered fists high, and shouted.

And so, after a fatal connection between Su Hao and Podolski, the game finally went into halftime.

Inside the home team's locker room, the coach, as always, gently praised each of his players.

In the professor's view, his disciples have already done their best to be able to fight Bayern Munich to this extent.

Especially Su Hao!
The professor clearly saw how hard Su Hao pushed himself during those 45 minutes.

In every defensive play, Su Hao would relentlessly block the spot where he was most needed!
And every Arsenal attack was orchestrated by this 17-year-old boy with all his might.

Suddenly, an almost insane idea popped into Wenger's mind.
17 years old?
Perhaps I can break that record of the youngest captain at 21.
Of course, the professor abandoned this bold idea after just one thought.

After all, Arsenal currently has three captains!

Vermaelen, who is still recovering from injury, Arteta, the current second captain, and Wilshere, the third captain.
If I recklessly put the captain's armband on Su Hao's arm, it will only cause chaos in the locker room of my Arsenal!

However, before considering these things, the most important thing is to figure out the tactical arrangements for the second half of the game.

With a two-goal lead, the professor naturally put away his previous arrogance that Arsenal would never give up.

"Flamini! You come on in the second half, Giroud off!"

Yeah, they're already two goals ahead. At this point, if they don't park the bus and wear Bayern down, when will they?
In the home team's locker room, the manager has already started to conceive long-term plans for Arsenal's future.

Meanwhile, in the away team's locker room.

Guardiola, still in a fit of rage, repeatedly pounded the tactical board he had meticulously prepared with his right fist.

Yes!

With only half the game remaining and the team trailing by two goals, Guardiola, who had remained calm throughout, finally started to panic.

He knew this was Arsenal's home ground.

If that damn Wenger puts the bus on him again...
Perhaps his Bayern Munich will really be eliminated in the Champions League Round of 16.

If that's really the case, you can imagine how those media outlets that are always trying to put him down will describe him!

"Sit down!!!"

"No body talk!!!"

"."

Thus, with these complex emotions in mind, Guardiola began to irritably assign tasks for the second half to his Bayern players.

There were no substitutions or changes to the formation!

Trailing by two goals, Guardiola only wanted to get his players to speed up their attacking pace as much as possible.
The fifteen-minute halftime break ended just like that.

The game resumed after the two teams switched sides.

On the sidelines, Wenger, just as he had expected, substituted Giroud with the strong defensive midfielder Mathieu Flamini.

Guagua immediately mentally greeted Wenger in his most fluent Catalan slang.

Moreover, it wasn't just the substitutions; after the game restarted, apart from Podolski, who had just scored a goal on a counter-attack and was still roaming around the center circle, the entire Arsenal team, which had been playing an open and expansive style, visibly and quickly retreated their defensive line into their own half.

However, having anticipated Wenger's actions, Bayern Munich continued to play according to their plan, pinning Arsenal in their own half and engaging in their preferred half-court attack and defense drills!

The 54th minute of the game.

After a series of complex maneuvers involving transitions between the center and the wing, Götze, who had been busy throughout the entire match, finally had an excellent shooting opportunity.

Using his agile footwork, Götze dribbled past Mathieu Flamini, who had just come on, and then struck the ball hard with his left foot.

However, just as Götze was hoping that this shot would make him a regular starter for Bayern Munich, the Arsenal short, dark-skinned player who had plagued him countless times once again annoyingly blocked his way.

Kante defiantly shielded Arsenal's goal by throwing his entire body towards Götze's shot, defusing the crisis as if he were a divine intervention!

Wow! I have to say, Wenger's two signings this year were really great value!

"We don't know about Su Hao's signing fee, but it's only been 1 euro on the surface. As for this Kanté, it's only 5.55 million euros! These two sums combined have created a top-class midfield combination for Arsenal that can both defend and attack! Especially this Kanté, besides his incredible stamina, I even think his tackling is better than Gattuso's at his peak!"

"Yeah! I feel the same way. Gattuso's tackling ability during his prime was often controversial. After all, with the current refereeing standards, actions that weren't considered fouls before would now even get you a card."

"."

The two commentators in the commentary booth started praising Kanté's defensive abilities.

Kante, who once again saved Arsenal on the pitch, was naturally surrounded by all the Arsenal players.

Forehead.
Because of his height disadvantage, Kante, who clearly saved Arsenal, could only be surrounded by a bunch of people patting his head!
The game continues!

Of course, while the whole team retreated to defend, Arsenal did not completely give up on attacking.

It's like the 61th minute of the match.

After Chamberlain and Gibbs made a desperate tackle on the left wing, Chamberlain immediately launched a long ball to Podolski near the center circle.

He leaped high and headed the ball back.

The ball immediately appeared at the feet of Su Hao, who was making a high-speed run after Chamberlain made the interception.

The moment Su Hao received the ball, a counter-attack by six Arsenal players, including his two wingers and Kanté, surged into Bayern Munich's half at breakneck speed.

Upon receiving the pass back from Podolski, Su Hao immediately delivered a long, still-splendid pass to Ramsey on the right flank.

Make a quick run down the flank, then cut back in a triangular fashion!
If Podolski hadn't been too focused on the angle of his final shot, causing the ball to glide just wide of the goal, Arsenal would have almost sealed the victory!

However, it was precisely Podolski's missed shot that prevented Bayern Munich from pressing too hard in the following matches.

The match gradually entered a stalemate between the two sides.

In the next ten minutes or so, unable to break down Arsenal's defense, Bayern Munich finally resorted to their most primitive tactics of long balls, crosses, and long-range shots.

However, with Su Hao as a high point and Kanté as a bug point that exists everywhere, the advantage is that...

Bayern Munich could only launch seemingly relentless attacks, yet they always fell just short of scoring a goal.

In desperation, in the 74th minute of the match, with his team facing elimination by Arsenal, Guardiola finally played his first card of the game.

Götze, who didn't have any standout performances, was substituted by Müller.

What no one knew was that this seemingly ordinary substitution...
81th minute of the match!

After Arsenal launched a symbolic attack without committing any players, Bayern Munich once again made a large-scale attack in Arsenal's half.

This time, even Boateng, the center-back, crossed the halfway line and stood near Kroos.

Kroos dribbled forward through the middle, while Müller, who had just come on as a substitute, followed Mandzukic into Arsenal's penalty area.

With Su Hao, Kante, and Mathieu Flamini all eyeing Kroos in the middle, Kroos had no choice but to pass the ball to Ribery on the wing again, trying to have Ribery complete a long pass to end the attack.

However, even after the ball was passed to Ribery, Ramsey and Gibbs immediately surrounded the scarred warrior Ribery, who had already made a breakthrough on the left wing.

However, just when Arsenal fans were reassured that Bayern's attack would end in failure again, no one expected that Müller, who had just come on as a substitute, would become the one to change everything.

On Arsenal's right flank, seeing that a double-team was about to be formed, Ribery could only quickly pass the ball diagonally to the onrushing Alaba.

During this period, the Arab team, which had been trying various wing attacks, did not choose to blindly rush forward this time. After glancing at Mandzukic's position in the penalty area, the Arab team immediately used its left foot to lob the ball into Arsenal's penalty area.

Meanwhile, inside Arsenal's penalty area, Su Hao, Mathieu Flamini, and their own twin towers had already chosen their targets and quickly darted towards the landing point.

First point!
Koscielny successfully squeezed past Mandzukic and headed the ball out of the penalty area.

However, what no one expected was that just as Kante sprinted towards the second ball, Müller, who had just been inside the penalty area with his back to the Arsenal goal, quickly started his run and rushed to the front of the ball.

Without turning around, he slammed his heel into the football that had just landed in front of him.

Müller's tap was so sudden that Fabianski, whose view was blocked by his own teammate in front of the goal, hadn't even reacted yet when Müller, who was turning his head to check where he had tapped the ball, excitedly raised his hands high!

"Beep!!!"

At that moment, the referee belatedly blew the whistle to confirm the goal.

"Ouch! Goal!"

"The match is in its 79th minute!"

"Müller has scored!"

"A kick... an unbelievable backheel flick?"

"The football somehow managed to break through the crowd and finally nestled into the corner of the goal!"
"2-2! Bayern Munich has equalized!"

"Moreover, this goal has brought the suspense between the two teams to its maximum!"

"Whoever scores first and maintains the score until the end of regulation time will be the winner of the match!!!"

"At this moment, Müller's goal was a huge blow to Arsenal's morale!"

The Emirates Stadium suddenly fell silent!
The Arsenal die-hards in the stands, who had just been singing their hearts out, immediately stopped.

2: 2!

The aggregate score over two legs is 4-3!

Although Arsenal are still leading by one goal, if Bayern Munich scores another...
Then Arsenal will be eliminated by Bayern Munich due to the disadvantage of fewer away goals!

Moreover, during this period, Bayern Munich had completely taken control of the game.

In this situation...
Arsenal are very likely to concede another goal!
A goal, a signature Müller goal in a crucial moment.

The tide of the game turned in an instant.

Guardiola, standing on the sidelines, seemed to come back to life after Müller's goal, and continued to point out his player with his hands.

Meanwhile, Wenger is on the other side.

At this moment, the professor was also unsure how to adjust his tactics.

Attack?
It's entirely possible that giving Bayern attacking space could lead to a collapse, but continuing to defend is the best option.
Bayern Munich only needs one goal to completely eliminate themselves!

The professor was momentarily confused, while on the football field!

The Arsenal players, who had just been full of morale, suddenly became somewhat at a loss.

What made Arsenal fans even more desperate was that their captain, Ramsey, unfortunately collapsed on the pitch at this crucial moment due to exhaustion.

Seeing Ramsey make a gesture that he could not continue, Wenger could only look towards his own bench.

However, it was precisely that one glance that made Wenger feel a little deflated.

Yes!

Looking around, it's clear that the only player currently available on the right flank is 34-year-old veteran Thomas Rosicky, whose form is declining significantly, who can replace Ramsey.

"Boss! Boss!"

Just as Wenger was lamenting his pitiful bench situation, his assistant coach suddenly called out to the professor.

"Ok?"

"Boss! Ramsey is asking who should receive the captain's armband?"

It was his own assistant coach's words that rekindled the crazy idea that had flashed through Wenger's mind during halftime.

The team's first, second, and third captains are all absent.
And at such a crucial time!
Why not stake Arsenal's entire season on the future?
Yes!

Even if they ultimately fail, Arsenal still has a future!
Thinking of this, the professor's flickering eyes suddenly turned resolute again.

"Su!!!"

He pointed in Su Hao's direction with his finger!
The professor kept calling out Su Hao's name!
"Ok?"

Hearing the professor suddenly call his name, Su Hao turned to look at the professor with some confusion.

then
That is the entire Emirates Stadium!

Even all the Arsenal fans watching on TV were momentarily stunned!
Yes!

At the professor's shouts, Ramsey, the team captain who had been cramping up and collapsed on the grass, followed Wenger's instructions and put the captain's armband on Su Hao's arm!
Although everyone knows that at this point, including Ramsey himself, he is only the third captain, and Su Hao's taking over is at best a temporary transition.

But
This is truly the craziest scene ever witnessed by any Premier League team, or even any of the top five European leagues!
A 17-year-old boy!
He actually took over the team captain's armband in such a high-profile Champions League match!

This crazy scene not only widened the eyes of Arsenal fans, but also shocked Guardiola, who had been revived not far away, with Wenger's almost insane move!

"Wow! My God! This... From the footage, we can see that before leaving the field, Ramsey put his captain's armband on Su Hao's arm!"

"Incredible!"

"The professor has such an exaggerated level of trust in Su Hao!"

"Zhan Jun, the 17-year-old captain, has he broken another record?"

"Yes, Mr. Huang, although it's only temporary, in my memory, it seems that only in the 2007-2008 season, when then-Paris Saint-Germain manager Le Guen appointed 17-year-old and 244-day-old Mamadou Sakho as captain! Apart from that, the youngest in the Premier League era was Arsenal's Fabregas at 21 years old!"

"In the Champions League knockout stage, in the final and most crucial stage, Wenger is betting everything on Arsenal's future!"

2014年3月12日晚上9点40分38秒！
When Ramsey tied the captain's armband to Su Hao's arm as Wenger instructed, the entire stadium suddenly fell into complete silence.

However, after a very short period of surprise, the more than 50,000 Arsenal fans, who were used to Wenger being willing to bet everything on young players, suddenly felt relieved when they remembered that it was this 17-year-old who had led them to fight until now with a brilliant performance of 3 goals and 1 assist!
"SU-HAO!"

"SU-HAO!"

"SU-HAO!"

It started with small-scale shouts, and gradually it grew into a roar from nearly 50,000 people in the entire venue.

The name Su Hao suddenly resounded throughout the entire Emirates Stadium.

"Beep!"

Amidst the deafening shouts, the referee blew the whistle to restart the game.

On the field, Su Hao, wearing the captain's armband, received a pass back from Podolski in a daze.
Team captain?

As a professional player, Su Hao was well aware of the meaning behind the captain's armband.

However, Su Hao was indeed a little confused by Wenger's sudden move!

Yes, he's only 17. How can he be worthy of someone his age?
Su Hao pondered, somewhat bewildered, whether the captain's armband brought him pressure or...
However, the Bayern players, whose morale had been boosted by the equalizer, didn't care whether Su Hao was Arsenal's youngest captain or not.

The moment Su Hao received the ball, Müller and Mandzukic, who had just scored, rushed towards him in a frenzy.

It was the threat posed by the double attack, coupled with the fact that his 30-year-old super-strong mentality had already been overshadowed by the panel, that allowed Su Hao to quickly calm down and refocus his thoughts on the game.

Faced with a double attack, Su Hao simply used his right foot to flick the ball inwards, and then, just as the ball reached his feet, he flicked it forward with his left foot!
And just like that, Su Hao easily broke through Bayern's first line of defense, consisting of Mandzukic and Müller, with a lobbed pass.

"Wow! Beautiful! Su Hao's lobbed pass, with such height and such graceful footwork, putting everything else aside, his talent alone absolutely deserves the Arsenal captain's armband!"

Huang Jianxiang, in the commentary booth, blew the whistle smoothly once again.

Meanwhile, on the field at the same time, Su Hao had already dribbled past Müller and his opponent and pulled the ball to the wing.

Substitute Thomas Rosicky quickly followed up and, after Su Hao passed the ball to him, made another quick push!
After Su Hao bypassed Ribery, he received the ball again on the wing.

At this moment, fearing that Su Hao would pass the ball directly, Kroos immediately rushed to block Su Hao's lateral passing route. Not only Kroos, but Lahm also ran diagonally downhill to block Su Hao's direct diagonal pass route.

On the sidelines, seeing that his midfield had completely blocked all of Su Hao's passing routes, Guagua nodded in satisfaction.

only!
Unbeknownst to anyone, Su Hao, whose passing lanes were completely blocked by Bayern, caught a glimpse of Chamberlain suddenly surging forward on the left flank out of the corner of his eye.

All along, Su Hao only knew that his passing rating of 91 should be among the world's top.

However, even Su Hao himself didn't know exactly how top-tier this "top-tier" status was.

However, at that moment, with just a glance, a passing route that could directly tear apart Bayern Munich's entire defense suddenly flashed into Su Hao's mind, and he finally truly felt what kind of existence this top-level being was.

Without any hesitation, after seeing Chamberlain rush into the penalty area from the left wing, Su Hao raised his right foot and fiercely smacked the ball with the inside of his right foot!
"Whoosh!!!"

The intense friction even caused the football under Su Hao's feet to explode with an unbelievable loud sound!
And then came the loud bang of the football.

In an instant!
An extreme arc that left everyone on the scene speechless was then presented before them.

Start with Cross, who's blocking Su Hao's way!
Then there's Bayern captain Lahm behind Kroos!

And then there's Boateng and Dante, who are aggressively and relentlessly targeting Podolski in the middle!

And so, after curving past five Bayern Munich players, including goalkeeper Neuer, in a shape resembling a C, the ball somehow ended up in front of Chamberlain, who had broken into the penalty area from the left wing and was completely unmarked.

now!

With the perfect arc of the ball, Chamberlain didn't even need to jump; he simply touched the ball lightly with his forehead!
The football changed direction without any hindrance and went into Bayern Munich's goal!

The Emirates Stadium fell silent once again.

It was as if no one had seen what had just happened!
1 second!

2 second!

Even the referee seemed stunned by Su Hao's absolutely stunning assist that could be recorded in football history.

After a full two-second delay, the referee finally blew his whistle and pointed to the center circle with both hands to indicate that the goal was valid!

"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!!!"

"Oh my god!!!"

"A Rainbow for the Century!"

"A historic assist has occurred!!!"

"Su Hao!!!"

"It's still Su Hao!!"

"My God, an unimaginable rainbow of the century!"

"On the left flank of Bayern Munich's midfield!"

"Su Hao used his right foot to rub out a huge C!"

"After bypassing Bayern Munich's entire defensive line, it appeared in front of Chamberlain!"

"3:2!!!"

"3:2!!!"

"Su Hao has killed the game!!!"

"He just took over the Arsenal captain's armband less than a minute ago!"

"This young man, on whom Professor Wenger had staked everything, repaid the old man's unwavering trust with a spectacular assist of the century!!!"

"My God, an assist of the century that will never be replicated!"

"An exquisitely beautiful arc that defies description!"
-
[Damn, that's incredible! That curve, that's fucking unbelievable! How could he even pass that ball? This guy's cheating! What incredible vision and footwork!]
-
[Breaking news! Su Hao is definitely going to explode again! Arsenal's youngest captain in history proved his worth in less than a minute with a phenomenal assist. Even movies wouldn't dare to portray this!]
-
Putting everything else aside, just the curve of that shot alone makes Su Hao's assist unbeatable, especially considering it happened in the final moments of such a crucial Champions League knockout stage match. With that goal, Bayern Munich is probably doomed!
-
[Müller's hard-won morale has completely vanished. With less than eight minutes left, Bayern needs to score two more goals to advance, and that possibility is practically nonexistent!]
-
[Haha, Su Hao is awesome! That shot turned my Cadillac into a Mercedes C-Class!]

On the commentary panel!

When Su Hao appeared, a C-shaped assist that could definitely be included in the list of the top ten assists of the century, Lao Huang, who was already prone to excitement, went completely crazy.

Meanwhile, at the Emirates Stadium at the same time.

They were already shouting Su Hao's name wildly.

After Su Hao's assist of the century, the more than 50,000 Arsenal fans in the stands went into a frenzy!
Countless Arsenal die-hards embraced each other without regard for gender or anything else.

It wasn't just the stadium stands; it was the plaza outside the stadium, countless bars, and even ordinary Arsenal fans wearing their jerseys and watching TV!
Everyone was completely swept away by Su Hao's absolutely stunning arc, a shot that will surely go down in football history!
And at the same time!

Arsenal's bench!
That one just made a decision.
