Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 112 (First Update) What? Messi's Argentina is asking for a pre-World Cup friendly match?

The spotlight at the Emirates Stadium has been off for a long time.

However, there were still many Arsenal fans gathered outside the stadium, their faces clearly wet with tears.

They were just one step away from the Champions League semi-finals!

But the result?
In the end, it was still a failure as always.

However, despite losing the game, they did not vent their anger on their own players who had given their all.

Even after the match ended, they were still singing Arsenal's anthem to encourage the young players!

just
Really!

They haven't won a championship in so many years, they are really on the verge of collapse.

"Drip drip!"

Just as these bewildered fans were wondering how to spend the night.

The red Arsenal team bus suddenly drove out of the parking lot.

At the very front of the bus, they saw Su Hao sitting in the front passenger seat!

It's unclear who started it, but after they saw Su Hao, the man at the very front of the bus who had brought them countless surprises, it all began.

"su!!!"

"su!!!"

"You're Arsenal's own su!!!"

"su!!!"

"su!!!"

"You're the strongest Su in all of Europe!!!"

The song "Song of Su Hao," which had just become popular among fans, suddenly rang out.

From a few scattered pieces, to more and more in the end!
"Fuck! Our Sue is only 17, and that Kant is only in his twenties. We still have time!"

"I just saw the news. The Chinese owner of Suarez's previous club, the one who bought the Russian's shares, said that at the very least, the most expensive signing in this summer transfer window should belong to Arsenal!"

"Come again next year! Su will only be 18 next year!"

"Fuck! What do you mean next year? The league isn't over yet! As long as Chelsea doesn't lose to Manchester City in the round after next, we still have a chance to win the title!"

"God bless us, at least give us a championship this year!"

"Haha, don't worry, the championship will definitely be ours! After all, we have the best Suarez in all of Europe!"

The fans were singing Su Hao's song wildly.

Inside the bus, watching their die-hard fans who continued to support them even in defeat, the Arsenal players gradually recovered from their disappointment.

Yes, just as the fans have said.

Although we lost in the Champions League, we still have the league and the FA Cup!

Their mission is not over yet!

"Take two days off, then start preparing for the league!"

The players recovered, and the professor, who had been in a state of defeat for more than eight years, naturally returned to his previous form as quickly as possible.

After giving the players behind him a day off, the professor resolutely decided to return to the base.

There's only a little over a month left. In this final month, he has to fight for at least one championship trophy for these lovely fans, no matter what!
With their Champions League elimination, Arsenal completely shifted their focus back to the league.

2014 4 Month 13 Day.

It was just four days after Arsenal were eliminated by Real Madrid.

In the 34th round of the league, Arsenal hosted Stoke City at home.

Now that Stoke City is out of the relegation zone and far from European qualification, they don't really care much about winning or losing in the league anymore.

In addition, Arsenal can be described as a desperate team that is bound to win.

The league match was uneventful, with the professor fielding his full starting lineup and launching a relentless attack.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, Su Hao assisted Podolski to score his 10th goal of the season.

1: 0!

Arsenal have had a dream start to the season.

With Arsenal breaching their goal so quickly, Stoke City were forced to push their formation forward.

However, Arsenal can't compare to Real Madrid in terms of squad extravagance, but compared to Stoke City...
Therefore, despite being completely outmatched in every aspect, Stoke City not only failed to equalize the score in the following match.

They were caught off guard by Arsenal's counter-attacks twice, in the 27th and 41st minutes of the match.

Ramsey and Suho each scored a goal.

Arsenal easily secured the victory in just 45 minutes.

With a three-goal lead, the coach naturally made substitutions less than fifteen minutes into the second half.

Su Hao, who had the highest attendance rate during this period, and Kante, who was the most tired, were substituted.

After being sidelined for five months, Santiago Cazorla finally announced his return to the team amidst the applause of more than 5 Arsenal fans.

However, given the length of time he had been injured, even with the fans showering Cazorla with applause for the next half hour, Santiago Cazorla, whose form had not yet fully recovered, was still unable to help Arsenal extend their lead.

3: 0!
This is how the match ended.

Arsenal secured all three points, and what excited Wenger and the more than 50,000 Arsenal fans in attendance even more was that Manchester City were held to a 0-0 draw by relegation-threatened Cardiff City!
Yes, it's Cardiff City, the team that beat Arsenal in the previous rounds.

When the professor overheard his assistant's whisper, even though he knew there were countless reporters pointing their cameras at him, he was still deeply disturbed.

The professor, without any hesitation, raised his hands to release the pent-up emotions he had been suppressing for so many days.

They were originally one point behind Manchester City, but because they were expected to lose the Champions League to Cardiff City in a rather haphazard way, not only Manchester City fans were mocking Wenger and Arsenal.

Even Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini said in an interview on Sky Sports that he didn't understand why the professor would choose such an unrealistic goal as the Champions League!

it's good now!

Relieve your anger!
After being held to a draw by Cardiff City, Manchester City are now only 2 points behind their opponents.

Even if Chelsea loses to Manchester City in the next round, as long as he can beat Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium in the last round, the Premier League title this season will still belong to his Arsenal!

The thought of this excited the professor, who was already considering holding a closed training session at the Arsenal training ground to celebrate. Of course, this was just a thought; he knew exactly what kind of players his team was.

Just a few days ago, when no one was allowed to leave the base, Szczesny even spent 500 euros to have Jim, the apartment cleaner, sneak a box of cigars into the club from outside.

The 34th round of the league has concluded.

Arsenal secured three points, narrowing the gap with Manchester City to two points.

This pleasant surprise allowed Wenger to confidently field a semi-first-team lineup against Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup semi-final on April 16.

With both Suarez and Kanté on the court, Arsenal easily defeated Wigan Athletic, a team that wasn't particularly strong, 2-0, even with only half of their starting lineup on the field, and made it to the 2013-2014 FA Cup final. Moreover, since other Premier League powerhouses had already given up on the FA Cup at the beginning of the season, the other team that made it to the final was Hull City, a team that Arsenal could easily defeat.

Ever since!
The happiest time for Arsenal fans has finally arrived.

The league title is in sight, and the FA Cup title seems almost a certainty.

It was in this extremely relaxed atmosphere that Arsenal kicked off their 35th round of league matches at West Ham United's London Stadium on April 20.

Speaking of the Hammer Gang and the Gunmen.

Although both teams belong to the London region, there may be a significant gap in their rankings from the beginning.

So, over the years, although the matches between the two teams have been called the London Derby, there is actually no complicated historical grudge between them.

Furthermore, with West Ham currently ranked 11th and no longer in danger of relegation, Arsenal, fielding their strongest lineup, did not encounter much trouble and defeated their opponents 2-0.

Arsenal easily defeated West Ham, but throughout the entire match, whether it was the Arsenal fans sitting at home, the die-hard Arsenal supporters in the stands, or even the substitutes on the bench, everyone was impressed.

All of Arsenal's eyes were actually fixed on another pitch.

Chelsea vs. Manchester City!

This was the match that had the biggest impact on the Premier League title race this season, aside from the final round of the season.

Arsenal fans are all hoping that that pesky Mourinho can play the role of God and help Arsenal defeat those damned Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

However, the result disappointed all Arsenal fans.

The former Mourinho did not, as everyone had hoped, weld his goal shut with his iron-fisted defense.

Even less than 20 minutes into the game, the Argentine who helped Manchester City win their first-ever Premier League title scored a chip shot that was absolutely dreamlike for the Argentines, helping Manchester City break through Chelsea's defense.

In the subsequent matches, it seemed that they did not want to leave Al-Ittihad without accomplishing anything.

Mourinho surprisingly ordered his Chelsea to push forward, engaging in an attacking battle with Manchester City.

An aging Chelsea team versus Manchester City, whose squad boasts the most dazzling flair in the Premier League.

The outcome of such a fierce offensive battle was naturally predictable!

2: 4!

Chelsea relied solely on Hazard's brace to be thrashed by Manchester City.

This resounding victory allowed Pellegrini, who had been unexpectedly held to a draw by a relegation-threatened team, to become smug once again.

"We just need to focus on our own game. I don't want to know if Arsenal won the game. I only know that we are still in first place in the league. As long as we keep winning, the championship will definitely be Manchester City's!"

Of course, faced with Pellegrini's blatant provocation, the professor, who is most skilled at verbal sparring, naturally did not remain silent.

It was also a post-match press conference.

After reporters relayed Pellegrini's declaration of victory, the professor responded forcefully.

"We've waited eight years. This time, we've come closest to the championship. I think maybe on May 11th, God will repay us for everything that has been owed to us for eight years. We'll make a comeback and win the championship at the last moment. I believe there is no more exciting script in the world than this!"

The two head coaches started their fierce battle three rounds in advance without any hesitation.

Then, in the 36th and 37th rounds of the league.

With neither team facing strong opponents, both teams, just as their managers had predicted, defeated their rivals, keeping the Premier League title race alive until the very end.

However, it remains to be seen whether the final championship will belong to Arsenal or Manchester City.

At least until after the 37th round of the league.

The Football Association (FA) has already transported the Barclays Premiership Trophy Cup, hailed as the most beautiful trophy in the world, to the Emirates Stadium in a FA vehicle.

2014 5 Month 5 Day.

There are 6 days left until the final round of the league.

Su Hao, who was at the training base preparing for the final crucial match to win the championship, suddenly received a call from China.

It was none other than Fu Bo, the current head coach of the national team, who had maintained constant contact with Su Hao over the past six months.

Seeing Fu Bo calling him at this moment, Su Hao guessed that the national team must have some kind of competition task that required him to participate.

Sure enough, after the call was connected, Fu Bo asked Su Hao directly if he had any other plans for the end of May and the beginning of June, because there was an Asian team, Iran, in Group F of the World Cup, and the Argentine Football Association was surprisingly asking the Chinese team to play a warm-up match against them.

Argentina proactively sought out the Chinese team for a friendly match?
Damn it, it's not uncommon for teams to challenge China to be a warm-up opponent before the World Cup (an Asian team that can boost their own team's confidence). It's just like the only time China beat France.

But Su Hao really didn't expect Argentina to actually contact China.

However, although it was a bit of a surprise, Su Hao agreed without hesitation.

Putting everything else aside, these days, apart from national team matches, he really doesn't have many opportunities to get together with his old teammates from Guangzhou Evergrande.

As for my own side, Arsenal's last match is the FA Cup final on the 16th, and I've calculated that I've arranged about ten days of vacation for myself.

This competition has absolutely no conflict with me!

Su Hao gave his explicit consent, and Fu Bo, on the other end of the phone, was naturally overjoyed and immediately reported the news to the Football Association.

Forehead.
Yes, it's amazing.

Even Fu Bo himself couldn't understand why the Football Association, which was originally so arrogant and even all-powerful in China, would behave so, even to the point of being humble, when faced with Su Hao's problem.

Just like this time, the Football Association made it clear in the phone call that they were asking Su Hao whether he was willing to participate on his own initiative, and they wanted to clarify whether he was willing to participate.

Everyone knows that the Football Association used to not only not ask players if they wanted to participate, but even had to make a decision based on their contribution value using an Excel spreadsheet.

However, although I don't understand the ins and outs of this strange thing.

At least Su Hao is confirmed to participate, so now Fu Bo's next task is much easier to carry out.

Without any other arrangements, Fu Bo first had his team memorize all the match videos of Su Hao after he went to Arsenal and transfer them to his computer. Then, Fu Bo officially began his seclusion.

According to Lao Fu, he won't come out until he has copied and studied the detailed match schedule of all of Su Hao's matches!
