Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 123 The four-person team takes shape, what a terrifying attack this is?

9:30 am.

Arsenal's first team training ground.

While the veteran players were all starting their physical recovery training in an orderly fashion, the professor strode in, carrying his spoils from this summer transfer window.

"Those guys are here!"

In the crowd, Ramsey muttered something to Tazi in a low voice.

It was Ramsey's words that caused everyone on the training field to turn towards the training field gate.

Leading the way were, of course, the professor and Steve.

Behind him stood Di Maria, the angel with an earring; Lewandowski, who had no expression; Sanchez, who had a dark face; and Van Dijk, the somewhat nervous Premier League newcomer, who was peeking around.

"Come all over!"

Soon, the group arrived in front of the line.

After Steve clapped his hands, Arsenal's traditional welcoming ceremony began.

Self-introduction, clapping!

Captain's Speech
clap clap clap!
Then Vermaelen suggested throwing a traditional party for the newlyweds that night!

Bang bang bang.
After all, it was only the first training session after the holiday ended.

The professor did not directly conduct any intra-team scrimmages or tactical drills.

It's basically just regular physical recovery training plus a game like rondo.

After a brief training session lasting about an hour and a half, the newcomers finally had a chance to chat privately with the Arsenal players.

"Hi! Su! I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon!"

Lewandowski and the others were complete strangers to Su Hao, but Di Maria, who had been his opponent several times, was someone Su Hao had become acquainted with through a series of conflicts.

"Haha! Angel, I really didn't expect this!"

Just a month ago, the two teams had a full-blown brawl at the Workers' Stadium.

But the result?

In less than a month, Di Maria became his teammate?
Hi! Sue! It's nice to meet you!

Among the crowd, seeing Di Maria so cleverly strike up a conversation with Su Hao, Lewandowski, who had long been a veteran in Dortmund, naturally followed suit.

Lewandowski knows very well what state Arsenal is in right now.

As a striker who urgently needs to secure a starting position, building a good relationship with a super core player like Su Hao is definitely the most important thing to do immediately after joining the team.

Hello, Robert!

"Hi! Robert, I'm Olivier Giroud, nice to meet you."

Forehead.
Just after Su Hao smiled and gave Lewandowski a high five, Giroud, who had been chatting with Kanté, immediately took the initiative to introduce himself to Lewandowski.

Giroud's meddling was just too obvious!
Lewandowski was clearly a little embarrassed for a moment, and touched his nose with his hand.

"Boss! How should we allocate the team's scrimmages tomorrow?"

Su Hao and Kanté led the newcomers, including Lewandowski, to the medical center for massages, while the professor, who had returned to his office earlier, discussed the current starting lineup structure with Steve, which was giving him the biggest headache.

"Let's put all the new players on Team B for now! And let Su play half a game on Team A and half a game on Team B!"

After much deliberation, the professor finally came up with a compromise.

There are about 9 days left until the Community Shield.

Although the Community Shield isn't particularly prestigious, it's still a championship, no matter how big or small!
Besides, their opponent is none other than the annoying Manchester City.

Manchester City has been holding a grudge ever since they lost the title at the last minute last season. If they don't prepare early and build up their starting lineup sooner...

This is probably his first match of the season for this new Arsenal.
"Okay, boss! What about the captain's armband?"

Having initially settled the division of teams A and B, Steve then presented the professor with an even more troublesome problem.

Captain's armband?

Vermaelen is back. Although he's still the captain, the problem is that his position has been taken by Mertesacker and Koscielny.

A player who can only play for Team B can be the captain?
"Never mind, let's talk about it later!"

After much deliberation, the professor still couldn't bring himself to fire Vermaelen.

However, to the professor's surprise, Vermaelen knocked on his office door even though he hadn't said anything.

As for why Vermaelen came to find him?
Naturally, Vermaelen himself couldn't withstand the constant criticism from fans and the media during this period.

Old Wei very tactfully expressed that he had only recently returned to the team after recovering from his injury and was temporarily unable to continue serving as captain, so he was thinking of resigning as captain.

Upon hearing Vermaelen's words, the professor immediately shook his head, indicating that he still trusted Vermaelen and hoped that Vermaelen would continue to lead Arsenal.

just
Vermaelen has been with the professor for so long, how could he not understand the professor's personality?

Therefore, after Vermaelen's resolute rejections, the professor was finally forced to accept Vermaelen's resignation.

That same day at noon.

The professor then officially announced Arsenal's captaincy for the new season.

Captain: Artate!
Vice Captain: Su Hao
Although the professor specified that Altat was the captain, Su Hao, who was originally the last vice-captain, was suddenly ranked first. Anyone could see what kind of signal the professor was sending.

That night.

And so, a rather special party began.

Although it was ostensibly a party to welcome the new teammates, former Arsenal players, including Chamberlain and Wilshere who arrived on crutches, were all quietly talking to Vermaelen.

Su Hao, sitting between Lewandowski and Di Maria, also sensed something unusual after seeing the clearly defined seating arrangement.

The next day!

The group scrimmage that all the Arsenal players were nervous about has finally begun.

However, what Chamberlain and the other veteran players were worried about did not happen.

They remain Team A, with their main starting lineup.

Similarly, in the first half, they easily took a 3-0 lead over Team B thanks to their skillful teamwork with Su Hao.

However, just when Chamberlain and others thought that their positions might be fine in the first few rounds of the season, the professor suddenly made the bizarre move of transferring Su Hao to the B team.

And the result of this operation
The power unleashed by the attacking trio of Su Hao, Lewandowski, Sanchez, and Di Maria even made the professor's eyes widen in surprise.

Yes!

Team B's offense is just too strong!
Su Hao's link-up play, Di Maria and Sanchez's effortless dribbling on both wings, and Lewandowski's overwhelming ability to seize opportunities in front of goal compared to Giroud's.

That is, after this combination suddenly appeared, like a chemical reaction.

Team A's defense, which won the Premier League title last season, was breached by Team B a total of four times in just 30 minutes.

5: 4!

Even though Team A ultimately won the training match, everyone present knew that the brutal battle of the main lineups was truly over.

as expected
Having already undergone a mental transformation, the professor made a major overhaul of Team A's roster on the fourth day of training camp.

Of course, after all, he had promised Gilbert that he would give him a chance.

So, in the end, the professor put Altat in Team B.

Team A immediately started using the 4-4-2 formation that Professor hadn't played in a long time!
2014 8 Month 10 Day.

After a long and arduous wait by countless Premier League fans, the Community Shield, a major prelude to the official start of the Premier League season, has finally arrived.

Speaking of the Community Shield, for Arsenal fans, it's a title they've won countless times, but it's not a very prestigious one.

There's no way around it, I've participated 23 times and won the trophy 13 times!
These statistics are so impressive that only Manchester United can surpass Arsenal; other teams are simply outmatched.

However, all of that is in the past.

After nine years without a trophy and such extravagant spending in the summer transfer window, Arsenal fans are treating the Community Shield as the first step in their quest for a spectacular multi-trophy season!

While the fans were so confident of winning the championship, the professor also made some bold statements in a media interview.

With no other thoughts, his Arsenal was determined to win their second title in front of Manchester City!

Upon hearing this, Pellegrini, who had already lost the Premier League title to the professor's last-minute goal, naturally didn't hold back and immediately retorted.

Moreover, Old Pei gave the professor a label that made the professor very unhappy.

"I don't think the comments of a nouveau riche are meaningful. A championship can't be bought with money, and a team's strength isn't determined by its player value!"

Pellegrini, without batting an eye, relayed other people's criticisms of Manchester City to the professor, and even gave the professor the label of a nouveau riche.

It was precisely this reputation that led the professor to directly confront Pellegrini at the pre-match press conference.

"Su Hao!"

"su!!!"

"Su!!!"

7:45 pm London time on August 10.

The two long-time rivals at Wembley Stadium finally walked out of the players' tunnel, each holding one of their caddies.

Meanwhile, at the same time, nearly 1 Chinese fans who had spent a lot of money to buy scalped tickets flooded into the stands.

The fans of the two teams, who were originally evenly matched, suddenly became very different.

Especially after the DJ called out Su Hao's name.

The stands at Wembley Stadium, which can hold more than 70,000 fans, were instantly filled with red Su Haosheng.

Amidst such terrifying screams, the on-site director wisely focused the camera on Su Hao on the large screen.

That's all it took to take the photo.

With Su Hao's already top-tier good looks in the world of football, the atmosphere at the stadium reached its peak even before the match had started!

"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"

"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"

"This is a live broadcast of the 2014 England Community Shield!"

"Last season's Premier League and FA Cup double champions Arsenal vs. league runners-up Manchester City!"

"Here's a brief introduction for fans who aren't very familiar with the Premier League!"

The Community Shield competition dates back to the 1908-09 season.

In the commentary box.

As the match entered its final countdown, Lao Huang and Zhan Jun, who had also been holding back for a long time, officially began their commentary.

It's the same old routine: Huang Jianxiang is in charge of shouting and Zhan Jun is in charge of all the popular science!
"All right!"

"As the time draws near!"

"The referee also focused his attention on the watch on his wrist!"

"Beep!!!"

"The referee blows his whistle!"

“The game begins!”

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

"Arsenal's starting goalkeeper, wearing the traditional red jersey and attacking from left to right: Szczesny!"

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

Midfield positioning: Arsenal's new signing Di Maria on the left, Suarez and Kante partnering in the center, and Ramsey on the right!

"Two strikers: Lewandowski and Giroud!"

"After a series of lavish spending sprees during this summer transfer window, Arsenal has now undergone a complete transformation and is shining with star power!"

"However, the professor's boldness in starting three newcomers and even making Su Hao wear the captain's armband is indeed a bit surprising!"

"On the other side, Manchester City's starting goalkeeper, Joe Hart, is attacking from right to left in his traditional blue jersey!"

"Left-back: Clichy, center-backs: captain Kompany and Demichelis, right-back: Zabaleta!"

"Double defensive midfielders: Yaya Toure and Fernandinho!"

"Left winger: Silva, attacking midfielder: 272 who has recovered from injury, right winger: Nasri!"

"Lone striker: Aguero!"

"It's still Pellegrini's most frequently used 4-3-3 formation this season!"

"Arsenal have possession of the ball first!"

At Wembley Stadium.

Amidst the frenzied cheers of over 70,000 fans.

Upon receiving a pass from Giroud, Su Hao, just as Aguero lunged at him, immediately executed a skillful left-right feint and cut past him.

And upon seeing Di Maria begin his high-speed sprint down the left flank, Su Hao unhesitatingly delivered a top-notch long pass to the angel.

Compared to Chamberlain, who was often interfered with or even lost possession when receiving the ball last season, Angels at his peak not only controlled Su Hao's pass steadily in the air, but also accelerated again on the spot the moment he controlled the ball.

A blast!
Di Maria easily broke through Nasri's tackle and rushed into Manchester City's backfield in the blink of an eye.

Facing Zabaleta's challenge, Angel didn't hesitate any longer and sent the ball directly into Manchester City's penalty area with his left foot!

Giroud leaped high, gritted his teeth, shoved Demichelis aside, and sent the ball to his far post.

In that position, newcomer Lewandowski had been preparing for a long time and struck the ball with his right foot before it even hit the ground.

It's a very simple process: transfer to the edge, then transfer to the middle again!
However, with such a dazzling lineup, this seemingly simple tactic suddenly made Manchester City's penalty area tense and vulnerable.

Lewandowski's right foot had already made contact with the ball.

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany had no choice but to throw himself into the direction of Lewandowski's powerful shot.

"boom!"

A muffled sound!
The ball slammed into Kompany's face, and was eventually sent out of bounds by Yaya Toure, who was chasing back.

"Oh dear! What a pity! That ball..."

"Arsenal had a shot on goal right from their very first attack!"

"Zhan Jun, I must say, Di Maria and Su Hao seem to have a completely seamless connection, and there was also Giroud and Lewandowski's link-up just now!"
-
Wow! Arsenal's attack seems so much stronger all of a sudden! Last season against Manchester City, this side of the pitch was practically useless!
-
"Damn it, don't you see who's on the wing now? This is a top winger from this year's Champions League winner and World Cup runner-up, worth over 60 million euros. Can Chamberlain even compare?"
-
[Haha, with this lineup and this attack, Arsenal looks like they've got the league title in the bag this year. I just wonder how they'll do in the Champions League!]
-
[They also have a top-three squad in the Champions League, and who knows, Arsenal might even achieve a treble this year. If they do, Su Hao, do you think we'll see an epic 18-year-old Ballon d'Or winner?]
-
[Tsk tsk tsk! Alright, the new season has only been going on for less than 2 minutes and you guys are already fantasizing about Su Hao winning the Ballon d'Or?] Old Huang in the commentary booth sighed over Lewandowski's missed opportunity.

Similarly, on the field, he watched helplessly as he missed such a great opportunity to score in his debut.

Lewandowski was so angry that he slapped his own head hard.

Of course, after patting his own head, Lewandowski still gave Giroud a thumbs up.

Just now, Lewandowski thought that Giroud, his rival, would selfishly choose to shoot directly!

"Keep an eye on that guy!!"

Everyone at Arsenal, including the manager, lamented Lewandowski's shot. Pellegrini, standing in front of the Manchester City bench, was taken aback by Arsenal's first attack and angrily started yelling at his own players.

Before the match, Pellegrini confidently told reporters that he would help Manchester City win their first-ever Community Shield title.

But the result?

How come? The game has only been going on for less than 3 minutes and my team almost conceded a goal?

After Joe Hart took the ball from the caddie and placed it on the edge of the six-yard box.

The game begins again!
And in the next twenty minutes or so.

Manchester City and Arsenal delivered a truly spectacular, high-octane attacking spectacle for the more than 70,000 fans in the stands.

Given their current offensive strength and defensive weakness, both teams seemed to have forgotten about defense.

Whenever they have an attacking opportunity, both teams will immediately send their entire squad into the opponent's half!

It's like the 14th minute of the match.

After pressing forward aggressively, Manchester City managed to end their attack with a header from their own center-back Demichelis, who had surged into the penalty area and grazed the post before sliding wide.

An extremely intense and frenzied exchange of attacks.

With this style of play that disregards defense, luck becomes the most important factor in turning the tide of the game.

Perhaps it's because Arsenal has had such a miserable eight years.

This time, luck was on Arsenal's side once again.

The 27th minute of the game.

After both sides launched a series of reckless attacks.

Su Hao, who was pushing the ball back towards Manchester City's backfield again, casually passed Kanté with a one-two, getting past the 272 who had been staring at him since the start of the game.

Seeing that Yaya Touré hadn't come to guard him immediately, he realized that Yaya Touré wasn't coming over to defend him right away.

Without a second thought, Su Hao moved the ball forward and kicked it from a distance of 34 meters from the Manchester City goal!
With his right leg muscles taut, Su Hao's right foot slammed heavily onto the football.

"boom!!!"

After a loud bang that silenced the more than 70,000 fans in the stands.

After undergoing a violent transformation, the football at Su Hao's feet suddenly rose from the ground and transformed into a white streak, shooting towards Manchester City's goal.

In front of Manchester City's goal.

After being humiliated by two incredible goals from Su Hao last season, Joe Hart has never dared to relax his guard again.

Not only did he not dare to leave his own restricted area, but Joe Hart also focused all his attention on Su Hao as soon as Su Hao crossed the halfway line.

And this time!
Before Su Hao unleashed his powerful shot, Joe Hart had made thorough preparations.

Lower your center of gravity, anticipate the direction, and push off the grass with force.
Joe Hart gave a textbook response!
just
Poor Joe Hart!

Even if he truly did reach the pinnacle!
However, even with Su Hao's incredibly powerful shot, which was definitely boosted by luck, Joe Hart was still unable to save himself.

With extreme ball speed and the addition of an absolute theoretical dead angle.

While in mid-air, Joe Hart watched helplessly as Su Hao's powerful shot flashed past him and slammed into the net behind him.

"Beep!!!"

With a heavy thud as the ball crashed onto the grass, the referee blew the whistle to signal a goal!

"pretty!!"

"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"Su Hao!!"

"It's still Su Hao!"

"A stunning long-range shot that amazed everyone!"

"A super world-class goal that's theoretically impossible to hit!"

"Su Hao helped Arsenal break through Manchester City's defense!"

"1:0!!"

Arsenal have taken the lead!

"World Wave Manufacturing Machine!"

"A world-class shot of absolute violent aesthetics!!!"
-
[Holy crap, it has to be Su Hao! That explosive ejaculation was so satisfying to watch!]
-
[Haha, that was really awesome! Joe Hart must be crying over that long-range shot!]
-
[Even Heaven, if it had feelings, would grow old; encountering Hart, it would surely lead to a kick. It's just that Su Hao has no sportsmanship; how many of Joe Hart's hands have he already knocked down?]
-
[An S-shaped powerful shot, a super long-range lob, and another one like this today—a brutally beautiful super long-range shot! Joe Hart will probably have a psychological trauma from now on whenever he encounters Su Hao!]
-
[Haha, with that kick from Su Hao, Arsenal is probably going to win big today! That feels so good, they'll be raking in the money soon!]

As soon as the whistle blew, Lao Huang in the commentary booth naturally unleashed the roar he had been holding back for almost two months.

Meanwhile, the entire Wembley Stadium was at the same time.

Including the more than 10,000 Chinese fans and the more than 30,000 Arsenal die-hards!

After Su Hao excitedly ran towards them from the field.

These 40,000-plus people responded to the only focus of the stadium at that moment with their wildest roars!
Su Hao sprinted wildly to the foot of the red stands.

Meanwhile, over 30,000 Arsenal die-hards stretched out their hands and bowed in worship to their king!

Of course, while all the fans were in a frenzy, Professor, standing in front of the bench, also raised his hands high after feeling the Community Shield beckoning to him.

"Fuck! fuck! fuck!!!"

Some were happy while others were sad, and just as everyone at Arsenal was roaring wildly for Su Hao.

Pellegrini, standing in front of the Manchester City bench, angrily smashed his water bottle onto the turf.

Not only did he angrily smash the water bottle, but Pellegrini also repeatedly swore.

The target of this "fuck" was, of course, Yaya Toure, who on the field hadn't taken his instructions to heart at all.

Leading by 1 goals!
Arsenal, already dominating the flanks and riding high on morale, naturally launched a relentless and aggressive attack on Manchester City.

Moreover, with 272 not fully recovered, Manchester City's counter-attacks have lost their usual sharpness!
With the tide turning, Arsenal scored again in no time.

The 36th minute of the game.

After Su Hao once again used a brilliant dribble with a "handsome bull tail" to get past 272 in the middle, Su Hao's surgical through ball tore apart Manchester City's last line of defense.

In this match, Giroud gave it his all, desperately holding off Demichelis's close marking before poking the ball away with the tip of his right foot.

Even a hard-working daughter-in-law can eventually become a mother-in-law!

After wasting countless top-class passes from Su Hao over the past six months, Giroud finally withstood the pressure at his most crucial moment.

A low, ground-hugging shot!
Giroud broke through Joe Hart's defense.

This helped Arsenal beat Manchester City 2-0, extending their lead.

That is, at the same time the referee blows the whistle to confirm the goal.

Despite having scored the goal, Giroud pushed away all his teammates who came to celebrate with him and ran straight to Su Hao, kneeling down on one knee and placing Su Hao's right foot on his knee!

"Wow! Giroud's celebration!"

"Let's celebrate by shining shoes!"

"This means all the credit went to Su Hao!"

"For a player like Giroud to celebrate by shining shoes, it seems Su Hao has truly won over everyone at Arsenal!"

Among these teams in the Premier League's "Big Four"...

There may be debate about who is the strongest, but when it comes to who is the most ruthless in a winning situation!
Arsenal is second to none!

After taking a 2-goal lead in less than 40 minutes of the first half.

Arsenal, already boasting a top-tier squad, easily dragged the remaining matches into their preferred rhythm.

Even at halftime, Pellegrini roared at his players, telling them to completely refocus on their holiday.

However, his Manchester City team still couldn't stop Arsenal's monstrous massacre.

Shortly after the start of the second half!

The 52th minute of the game.

Arsenal capitalized on Manchester City's disjointed attack to score another goal.

It was still Su Hao's signature long pass.

Angel, who received the ball, showcased his exceptional skills to Arsenal fans for the first time at Wembley Stadium.

The moment Su Hao's long pass went over Demichelis's head.

The angel then saw Joe Hart recklessly rushing towards him.

A flash of inspiration!
Di Maria, without waiting for the ball to hit the ground, used his left foot to cushion the ball as it slowly descended from the air.

It's just a pad like this!
The football flew into the air a second time, and in an arc that made Joe Hart despair for the third time, it flew over the tearful Joe Hart and finally landed in the net.

"Beep!!!"

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

Wembley Stadium is in an uproar!
More than 30,000 Arsenal die-hards roared wildly.

Angel, who scored his first goal in his Arsenal debut, celebrated with his signature heart shape as he sprinted toward the Arsenal fans' stands.

And it wasn't just about sending love and care.

Once they reached the stands, Angel grabbed the Arsenal crest on his jersey with his right hand and gave it a deep kiss!
Nothing unexpected.

That one slap was all it took for Di Maria to win over these die-hard Arsenal fans!
Di Maria successfully won over the fans.

This made Lewandowski, who was standing next to Di Maria, feel incredibly excited.

In the end, Lewandowski made no attempt to hide his feelings and walked directly up to Su Hao, putting his arm around him to express his unwavering love for Arsenal!

Got it!
Looking at Biao Biao Wan, he was practically begging to kneel down and call him "Dad."

Su Hao readily agreed to Lewandowski's request to join X!

3: 0!

The outcome of the match was no longer in doubt.

Arsenal, on the other hand, showed no mercy in the following matches, repeatedly stabbing Manchester City in the heart with their sharpest daggers.

The 67th minute of the game.

After countless attempts, Lewandowski finally got his moment in the spotlight.

It was still Su Hao connecting the mid lanes, and after several skillful small-scale two-on-two and two-on-three plays with Kanté and Ramsey.

Ramsey, who finally received the ball, charged straight into Manchester City's penalty area.

Seeing Joe Hart rushing towards him recklessly, Ramsey generously sent the ball back with his right foot.

Although Demichelis was interfering with Lewandowski at that moment, Lewandowski still managed to control Ramsey's pass with his right foot. After making a shooting feint to fool Demichelis, he slammed his right foot into the ball!
"boom!"

This was already the umpteenth time poor Joe Hart had heard such a loud bang.

The football grazed his fingertips and slammed into the net without any resistance!

"Ouch!"

“Here we go again!”

"Lewandowski!"

"The fourth one!!!"

"4:0!!!"

"A massacre!"

"An absolutely tragic incident has occurred that no one could have foreseen!"

Arsenal lead Manchester City 4-0!

"There's no suspense anymore!"

On the field!
Upon hearing the whistle, Lewandowski, who had been holding back for a long time, naturally imitated Di Maria in a very convincing manner.

After a sprint, Lewandowski, just like Di Maria, smoothly grabbed the Arsenal crest, which he hadn't even bothered to look at before, and kissed it.

Of course, Arsenal fans gave Lewandowski a big round of applause and a very enthusiastic response.

But what no one knows at this moment is that it is happening in the city of Dortmund, Germany, which is not far away.

After seeing Lewandowski's action, countless Borussia Dortmund fans immediately began to condemn him online, calling it an absolutely ungrateful act!
Wembley Stadium!

Two of the four new players have already been stamped with the Arnaud seal.

This forced Sanchez, sitting on the bench, to look at the professor with fervor over and over again.

That look in his eyes seemed to say, "Go for me! Go for me! Go for me now!"

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, the professor had no choice but to bench Ramsey and bring on Sanchez.

then
Despite leading by 4 goals, and with the outcome of the game practically decided, the result was already clear.

The three newcomers stubbornly continued their relentless attacks on Manchester City in the final ten minutes or so.

Even in the 84th minute of the match.

Unable to score a goal to prove himself, Sanchez, enraged by Su Hao's tackle by 272, didn't hesitate to retaliate with a vicious tackle on 272 in return.

A stretcher and a red card.

Sanchez, amidst the backdrop of 272 covering his face and weeping after just returning from injury, grabbed the Arsenal crest on his chest while under the weight of a red card!
Cough
P.S.: That's today's update. Time to start patching up my pants tomorrow, it's the weekend!
Please stop voting for me, everyone! I don't deserve it!
