Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 124 The Triple Crown? The Professor's Magnificent Transformation!
"Well, this 272 is really unlucky! Because of Arteta's foul in the last game of last season, he was injured and missed the World Cup. He finally returned to the field, but then... he was fouled by Sanchez. But, that kick he just made to Su Hao was really bad!"

"What goes around comes around, and no one escapes the wrath of Heaven. I think 272 should have been injured himself. If he hadn't fouled Su Hao, Sanchez probably wouldn't have received such a red card in his Arsenal debut!"

The commentary box at Wembley Stadium.

After watching Sanchez get a straight red card and be sent off, Huang Jianxiang and Zhan Jun couldn't help but criticize the German midfielder who had fouled Su Hao in two consecutive matches.

And at the same time!

Despite receiving a red card, Sanchez won applause from over 20,000 Arsenal die-hard fans in the stands.

"Fuck! Is this your team? Is this what you call beautiful football?"

Before the season had even truly begun, their midfield maestro was once again carried off the field.

Chilean engineer Pellegrini naturally vented all his anger on the professor standing not far from him.

"Shut your stinking mouth! Are you blind? Didn't you see that the German fouled first?"

“xxxxx!”

Pellegrini has always had a fiery temper.

With the team trailing by a large margin and their key player injured and forced to leave the field, Pellegrini finally couldn't hold back any longer.

A string of hometown greetings poured out of his mouth.

then
A beautiful scene unfolded once again at Wembley Stadium.

The two well-known elderly men, dressed in suits, stood head to head, right there.

“Beep beep beep!!!”

Moreover, just before the head referee blew his whistle and arrived, before the two old men could even make a move, the two assistant coaches, who disliked each other, started fighting.

Four red cards and three yellow cards!

After a full ten minutes of commotion and the ejection of both head coaches and assistant coaches to the stands, the referee finally calmed the situation down.

The next few minutes of the game completely devolved into a meaningless, garbage phase.

Once the regular 90 minutes were up, the referee immediately and decisively blew his whistle!

4: 0!

In this appetizer of the new season, the Community Shield.

Arsenal thrashed Manchester City to win their first title of the new season.

After all, compared to leagues and such, the Community Shield doesn't really have much significance.

So, the Arsenal players simply raised their trophy, took a few photos, and then ended their championship celebration.

Of course, the celebration on the field ended simply, but the lavish banquet that night continued until dawn the next day.

Apart from Su Hao, who, as always, returned early, everyone else, including the newcomers, were having a great time.
Especially Sanchez.

Despite his short stature, Sanchez is actually the most formidable player in the entire Arsenal first team.

Kante is only a 1.2, but Sanchez is playing like a bullseye!
"Brother Lei, congratulations!"

Early the next morning.

Su Hao, who had just woken up and finished his morning exercise, received a long-distance call from his distant homeland.

The caller was none other than Wu Lei, who had previously hosted a dinner party for him in Shanghai.

"Oh, what's there to congratulate me on? I was able to come out this time entirely thanks to you, Xiao Hao. Without your help, I'm afraid I would have been stuck in China for several more years!"

"The main reason is that Sporting Gijón has really taken a liking to you; otherwise, no matter how much I try to connect you, it won't make a difference!"

"Let's not waste time with pleasantries. Just call me if you ever need anything. Whether I can help or not, I'll do my best!"

"Alright, alright, Lei Zi, don't think about anything else right now. Go find a Spanish teacher. When playing football abroad, language is the most important thing. I'm not worried about your ability to succeed at Sporting Gijón. I'm just worried that you won't be able to cooperate with those Spanish players because of the language barrier!"

"Yes, yes! I've already looked for it, and Linpeng just said it too! According to what they say, if it's officially announced today, I can officially join the team tomorrow. The plane tickets and everything are already booked, and I should arrive in Spain by noon tomorrow!"

"Oh! Then Peng and I will come pick you up tomorrow! We'll have a welcome dinner for you!"

After chatting for about half an hour, Su Hao finally hung up the phone.

Zhang Linpeng went abroad to play professionally ahead of schedule, and now Wu Lei has also arrived in Europe a full five years earlier.

Looking at the changes his little butterfly had brought to Chinese football, Su Hao sighed for a long time.

Moreover, it wasn't just these two; a few days ago, Wei Shihao, who was considered the last fig leaf for the future national football team and was nicknamed "Nanbo Seven," also called me to invite me to dinner.

Wei Shihao, who is only 19 years old, has just been promoted to the first team by Boavista in the Portuguese league.

Although in Su Hao's memory, Wei Shihao only had a brief period of glory in the Portuguese Super League before returning to China, at least now, Nanbo Seven is still that proud and rebellious guy.

Following Su Hao's advice, Wei Shihao is also considering finding a mid-table team in the Spanish Second Division, just like Wu Lei, to secure his playing time.

If Wei Shihao can follow his advice and secure ample playing opportunities during his prime years, then his future may not be so tragic, with tears shed in a weak league that he could never have imagined.

Su Hao's welcoming banquet was no exaggeration.

The next morning at 8 o'clock, Su Hao boarded a flight to Spain.

Around 10 o'clock, Su Hao met Wei Shihao and Zhang Linpeng at the airport, who had arrived an hour earlier.

"Xiao Hao! You seem to have grown a little taller again?"

"Brother Hao!"

Forehead.
When Zhang Linpeng saw Su Hao, she naturally gave him a hug very casually.

When Wei Shihao met Su Hao for the first time, he awkwardly called him "Brother Hao".
"No way! I'm younger than you, I should be the one calling you Brother Hao!"

"Haha, that's right, Shihao, you're already 19! Xiaohao is only a little over 17, he should be the one calling you Brother Hao!"

"No, no, just call me Shihao!"

Scratching his head, Wei Shihao immediately waved his hands when he heard Zhang Linpeng actually ask Su Hao to call him "brother".

There's no way around it. Although Wei Shihao has gone from goalkeeper to striker in the Shandong Luneng youth training team, he still has to face Su Hao, who is now the absolute number one star in Asia.

His arrogance naturally vanished instantly.

Even after seeing Su Hao, Wei Shihao's hands subconsciously reached towards Su Hao's bag.

"You absolutely have to call me 'Brother Hao'! You're two years older than me, so calling you 'Brother Hao' is no problem at all! But since you're calling me 'Brother,' you should at least give me a red envelope as a token of your appreciation. When I went to the national team before, Brother Zhi took the lead in making everyone give red envelopes!"

Whether in his previous life or now, Su Hao has always been a very easy person to get along with.

So even though he's now the number one player in the national football team, he still calls his old teammates "brother" all the time.

"Oh! Okay, okay, I'll take care of it. It's what I'm going out with today."

"Haha, alright, alright, Shihao, I was just kidding. Let's go, Leizi should be here by now!"

Seeing that Su Hao's joke had actually made Wei Shihao want to take out his wallet, Zhang Linpeng laughed and put her arms around both Wei Shihao and Su Hao, then strode towards the exit.

Another Chinese player has joined the ranks of those playing abroad: Wu Lei has officially transferred to Sporting Gijón for €80.

Su Hao, Zhang Linpeng, Wu Lei, and Wei Shihao: A Surge of Chinese Players Playing Abroad!

The Chinese Football Association officially passed a law allowing a green channel for domestic players to play abroad—domestic clubs are forced to prevent high-quality players from playing overseas due to the high transfer fees of their domestic players!

The Ministry of Sports highly commended the new Football Association's efforts in promoting overseas player recruitment and issued a national plan to advance campus football!

Su Hao, Zhang Linpeng, and Wei Shihao greeted Wu Lei at the airport; the four young stars playing abroad dine and take photos together in Spain!

This August.

For Chinese football fans, August is definitely the most hopeful month.

The increase in the number of players playing abroad, as well as Su Hao's outstanding performance in the Community Shield.

Even though the Brazil World Cup has just ended, countless Chinese football fans are already looking forward to the Russia World Cup four years later.

In the fans' imagination, perhaps four years from now, they can paint bright red patterns on their faces, hold up red flags on the World Cup field, and sing the song that is already imprinted in their bones!
2014 8 Month 15 Day.

There is only one day left until the official start of the new Premier League season.

After finalizing the starting lineup and considering all potential issues that might arise during the match, the professor, for the first time ever, left work on time before the match began.

There was nothing they could do; after all, the red card he received in the Community Shield prevented him and Steven from appearing on the sidelines for the next day's game.

The professor went home early, and Su Hao, who had finished training, also quickly entered his system space after returning home.

There are only about fifty days left until the system is officially unblocked.

Through this period of training and competition, Su Hao has accumulated a considerable amount of training points again.

Based on the principle of "the sooner you add, the sooner you can enjoy it," Su Hao did not hesitate to directly exchange all of these training values ​​for his own attribute points.

After a flurry of skill point additions, Su Hao's latest stats were updated.

【个人能力：传球：93（95）、控球：87（89）、射门：87（98）、身体平衡：93（96）？？？？？？？】

93 in passing, 93 in balance, 87 in ball control, and 87 in shooting.

Even without the later talent cap, based on this data alone, Su Hao believes that he should already be able to enter the T1 tier of midfielders.

Even so, Su Hao still looked expectantly at the countdown timer for his system to unlock.

The data that was just refreshed was already so abnormal. Su Hao really wanted to know what level he would be after all his attributes were refreshed, plus his top-level talent value of 100 was also added.

Putting aside other things, he should be able to at least get a slight feel for players like Ronaldo and Messi.
2014 8 Month 16 Day.

After more than two months of anticipation, the 2014-2015 Premier League season has finally officially begun.

At 7 p.m. that evening.

Amidst the frenzied chants of tens of thousands of Arsenal die-hard fans, the red bus carrying the entire Arsenal team finally slowly drove into the inner passage of the Emirates Stadium.

"su!!!"

"su!!!"

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

"su!!!"

"su!!!"

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

Unsurprisingly, when Su Hao, sitting by the car window, waved to the Arsenal fans, who were like a sea of ​​red,...

This song, which is now the most beloved by Arsenal fans, naturally resounded once again throughout the skies of North London!

His top-notch individual abilities also helped Arsenal solve their most troublesome financial investment problem in many years.

How could these Arsenal die-hards not love Su Hao!
Even because of Su Hao's presence, these Arsenal die-hards suddenly became more friendly towards Asian faces during this period.

Especially those compatriots of Su Hao who can shout "Su Hao" in Chinese.

Pickpockets at subway entrances and similar locations will selectively skip this group and turn their attention to those who are bowing and scraping, living a simple life!
Pre-match press conference.

Despite having a red card, the professor still attended in person.

Perhaps because the professor was unable to take charge on the spot, Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock, Arsenal's opponent in the opening match, arrogantly told the professor from the Emirates Stadium press conference that his team was there to get points.

Although Neil Warnock didn't say anything about beating Arsenal and taking all three points.

However, Arsenal is currently the biggest favorite to win the Premier League title this season, bar none.

Upon hearing Neil Warnock's remarks, the professor, back in the locker room, naturally frowned and issued a kill order to the entire Arsenal team.

According to the professor, his new Arsenal squad must end the suspense of the game within 40 minutes. If the starting lineup fails to do so, he will completely rotate the starting eleven in the next game.

Upon hearing the professor's purely threatening remarks, Giroud, to say the least, proactively put his arm around Lewandowski's shoulder and said that he would pass the ball to Lewandowski's feet if necessary!

7:45 a.m. local time in London.

After the Su Hao song had been sung countless times in the stands, the starting players from both teams finally walked into the Emirates Stadium hand in hand with their caddies.

Line up to shake hands, guess sides, and exchange team flags.
After a series of procedures were completed, the time on the big screen finally reached the final countdown.

"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"

"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"

"This is a live broadcast of the first round of the 2014-2015 English Premier League season!"

Arsenal at home vs Crystal Palace!

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

"The referee is also on the clock!"

"Beep!"

"With the referee's whistle!"

"The competition has officially begun!"

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

"Arsenal's starting goalkeeper, wearing a traditional red jersey, attacks from left to right."

"..." "Still the same 4-4-2 as in the Community Shield!"

"On the other side, Crystal Palace's starting goalkeeper, Julian Speroni, is attacking from right to left in his traditional white away jersey!"

"Guards: Martin Kelly, Scott Dane, Damian Delaney, Joel Ward!"

"Double defensive midfield pairing: Meyer Jedinak and Joe Ledley!"

"Single attacking midfielder: Jason Ponchi!"

"Left winger: Yannick Bolasie; Right winger: Wilfried Zaha!"

"Lone striker: Glen Murray!"

"Crystal Palace's new manager, Neil Warnock, really does seem to want to get points at the Emirates Stadium, just like he said in the pre-match press conference!"

“面对现如今这支连曼城都能4：0的全新阿森纳，尼尔·沃诺克居然选择了这样一套看着要跟阿森纳打对攻的4-2-3-1！”

"Crystal Palace has possession of the ball first!"

On the Emirates Stadium!
When the referee blew his whistle, under Neil Warnock's direction, the mid-table Premier League team immediately pressed forward into Arsenal's half without hesitation.

Neil Warnock, who has been playing for various Premier League teams for over a decade, didn't make such a bold statement about getting points before the match without reason.

Based on his extensive coaching experience, Neil Warnock is convinced that the Premier League is different from other leagues like La Liga and the Bundesliga, where there are clear disparities between strong and weak teams!
With its world-class offensive and defensive transition speed, no matter how strong your team is, you will always make mistakes.

If the team members can seize upon the mistakes that these so-called strong teams inadvertently reveal, then the outcome of the game will no longer be determined by the team's strength.

This time at the Emirates Stadium, Neil Warnock came with the same idea in mind. After all, without the professor's on-field command, even if the players in Arsenal's squad are strong, he only needs to wait quietly for his chance.

just
Neil Warnock probably never imagined that it actually started in the latter part of the first half of the season.

The Arsenal team in front of us has already begun to transform.

There's no way around it; the core of this Arsenal team is a super-powerful player who, despite being only 17 years old, has over a decade of experience in top-flight leagues and cup competitions.
Often, even without the coach's intervention, Su Hao on the court can use his experience to change the team's rhythm and tactics.

Just like now!
After Crystal Palace launched a surprise all-out attack, Su Hao immediately shouted for Di Maria on the left wing and Ramsey on the right wing to retreat.

Besides Giroud, who remained as a transitional figure in the attacking third, Lewandowski also dropped back into Arsenal's own half.

Under such intense pressure from a dense defensive formation, Crystal Palace, which already lacked a strong attack, quickly lost possession due to Kanté's monstrous attacks!
"pretty!!!"

"Kante is going for the ball!"

"This is world-class interception capability!"

"Get up and take control of the ball!"

"It's coming!"

"Arsenal's counterattack is on!"

Kante made a successful steal.

The first moment of jubilation at Emirates Stadium this season has officially begun.

After seeing Kanté win the ball, Su Hao immediately strode towards Crystal Palace's backfield.

After securing the ball, Kanté immediately passed it to the opponent.

Su Hao, advancing at high speed, controlled the ball with his left foot and then passed it back in an instant.

Right flank!

Ramsey received Su Hao's diagonal pass and rushed into Crystal Palace's backfield at an extremely fast speed.

Inside the Crystal Palace penalty area, Lewandowski and Giroud, who had been speeding along, had stopped one after the other.

Without any hesitation, after seeing his two strikers hold off Crystal Palace's center-backs, Ramsey curled a shot with his right foot into Crystal Palace's penalty area.

"Ramsey!"

"That was a good pass!"

"Forward point!!!"

"Girl, leap high!"

"No direct shot, Giroud flicks the ball on with his head!"

"Lewandowski. No!!!"

"Su Hao!!!"

"Su Hao is up!"

"Su Hao jumps while unguarded!"

"A powerful headbutt!"

On the Emirates Stadium!
After Arsenal's beautiful counter-attack pierced Crystal Palace's heart, all 60,000-plus Arsenal fans in the stands stood up.

With such incredible counter-attacking speed, they were pretty sure their first goal of the season was on its way!
And it was precisely under their fervent anticipation, their fists clenched tight.

Their new king!
Their Chinese player, Su, delivered an absolutely powerful header at the Emirates Stadium, sending the ball slamming into the top corner of Crystal Palace's goal!
"Beep!!!"

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

"boom!!!"

From that moment on, the Emirates Stadium erupted in its first roar of excitement.

"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"The game is at 2 minute and 19 seconds!"

Arsenal have scored!

"Su Hao!"

"Soufa remains Arsenal's sole core player!"

"After Giroud and Lewandowski drew away all of Crystal Palace's tall players, Su Hao easily headed the ball into the top corner of Crystal Palace's goal from inside the penalty area!"

"1:0!!!"

"The first goal of the Premier League season has been scored!"
-
[Haha, I knew it! This Arsenal team is invincible now! With Lewandowski, Giroud, Di Maria, Suho, and Kanté in midfield and attack, they're not just invincible in the Premier League, they'd even give Real Madrid a run for their money!]
-
[Indeed invincible! Look at this counter-attack. And that's Ramsey's speed; if it were Sanchez, he'd probably be even faster. With these two in the middle, Su Hao is completely freed up. Not only can he head the ball, but his cutback shots from distance are no problem either!]
-
The Premier League title seems secure; Manchester City can't beat Arsenal. Now it's just a matter of whether Chelsea can put up a fight!
-
[It's hard to say for sure about Chelsea; Mourinho's defensive style of play is indeed a natural counter to Arsenal's fast-paced attacking style.]
-
Why think so much? Haha, let's just enjoy the game and rake in the winnings first! Judging by the current situation, today's going to be another big win!

In the commentary booth, Lao Huang launched into his signature hysterical celebration.

Meanwhile, in front of the Crystal Palace bench, Neil Warnock, who had previously been confident that he might pull off an upset in the opening match, stared blankly at the Arsenal players who were already celebrating wildly.

what's the situation?
Neil Warnock only blinked.

How did their own team's attack end up resulting in a goal for Arsenal?
This counterattack speed
And that damn Arsenal short guy.

Although many people were praising Arsenal for finding a gem with the potential to be a top defensive midfielder in the second half of last season.

But this is just too... outrageous.

That speed in closing down the defense, that acceleration and sliding tackle, even that rising pass...
After such a smooth and fluid defensive maneuver, before his own players could even react, the ball was already in their own penalty area.

"Come back! Come back! Stabilize the defense first!"

Finally realizing that he might have been a bit too overconfident because of the professor's red card, Neil Warnock immediately shouted at his players to retreat and solidify their defense.

just
Poor Neil Warnock had barely finished shouting for ten minutes when Arsenal scored their second goal.

This time, it's not a defensive counterattack.

It was a standard positional warfare offensive.

This comes from Su Hao's amazing dribbling skills in midfield.

Facing a double attack from Crystal Palace's attacking midfielder Jason Punch and defensive midfielder captain Myr Jedinak, Su Hao, whose ball control had been upgraded to 87, managed to pull off a dreamlike croquet-like tackle against these two reckless Crystal Palace midfielders.

He first used his left foot to move the ball slightly to the right, dodging Meyer Jedinak's outstretched right foot, and then used his right foot to push the ball to the left at the last second, followed by a powerful slam of his left foot!
Su Hao forcefully tore a gap in Crystal Palace's dense central defense.

With his long legs swinging wildly, Su Hao quickly rushed to the edge of Crystal Palace's penalty area!
Upon reaching this point, Crystal Palace's other defensive players naturally panicked and rushed towards Su Hao, who had already raised his right leg as if about to unleash a powerful punch.

just
Just as the Crystal Palace players were about to close in, Su Hao pulled his right leg back at the last second and turned his body to the side, using the instep of his right foot to flick the ball to the left.

The angels were already waiting there.

Although the two were teammates for a short time, they possessed top-notch football intelligence combined with individual abilities.

Even without an exceptionally high level of teamwork, Angel and Su Hao still managed to execute a dream combination play at the edge of Crystal Palace's penalty area.

With a lobbed pass, Angel delivered the ball to Su Hao, who was striding into the Crystal Palace penalty area, and placed it over his head.

at this time!

Apart from Crystal Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni, who made a hasty and disorganized attack.

There was no one around Su Hao to bother him anymore.

Without hesitation, just as Julian Speroni lunged at him, Su Hao, without waiting for the ball to land, flicked it diagonally and sent it directly to the far post in front of the dumbfounded Giroud, who was waiting for Su Hao to score and act as his straight man.

Forehead.
Su Hao's move was so sudden that Da Jiru didn't react at all.

He instinctively let the soccer ball hit his face and deflect!
"Beep!!!"

The ball, deflected off the goal line, crossed it without encountering any obstruction!

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

"Wow! Goal!"

"Girou!"

"He used his own face to block the ball into Crystal Palace's goal!"

"Although it was a bit unexpected, Arsenal still managed to make it 2-0 thanks to Giroud's face blocking the shot!"

Old Huang in the commentary booth held back his laughter.

But the Arsenal bad boys on the pitch were laughing and embracing Giroud among themselves.

"My God! Olivier, that's absolutely one of the most spectacular goals of the season!"

"Olivier, that was a beautiful goal!"

"Fuck! You guys are just jealous! Did you see that? A great striker can score with any part of his body!"

A group of people were blatantly making fun of his somewhat embarrassing goal, but Giroud kept repeating that his goal was entirely a manifestation of his goal-scoring instincts.

Of course, after everyone left, Da Jiru still sneaked up to Su Hao, hugged him, thanked him, and added a reminder to Su Hao not to look at his face next time.
After all, even Giroud cares about his image!
With such a vastly different roster size, no matter how hard the Crystal Palace players tried, they were no match.

At the end of the first half, Arsenal had easily scored three goals, leading 3-0.

Su Hao delivered a header, an assist that hit Giroud in the face, and finally, in the 41st minute of the match, he fed Lewandowski a through ball that was right in front of the goalkeeper.

During halftime, Crystal Palace's manager, already knowing the final outcome of the match, made a desperate substitution, bringing on two attacking players, hoping his team could pull off a last-minute comeback.

But the result?

4-2-3-1都跟阿森纳沾不上边儿，等他玩起了只有顶级豪门才有资格玩的4-1-2-3后，没啥意外的。

Less than half an hour into the second half, his team conceded three more goals to Arsenal.

Di Maria's solo run down the wing, Lewandowski's easy goal in front of the net, and finally Su Hao's powerful shot!
6: 0!

Arsenal ruthlessly slaughtered the poor Crystal Palace at their home ground.

Su Hao, with a team-high score of 2 goals and 2 assists, unsurprisingly won the MVP award for the game once again.

After the game!

The Crystal Palace manager, who had confidently declared at the pre-match press conference that he would secure points at the Emirates Stadium, was so ashamed that he had his assistant coach stand in for him at the post-match press conference.

As for professors?

After a resounding victory, the professor, naturally beaming with joy, led his Su to the podium at the press conference.

"champion!"

"Our only goal this season is the championship!"

"Not just the league and the FA Cup!"

"Our goal is still the Champions League!"

Perhaps a bulging fanny pack really can straighten a person's back.

At this press conference, Wenger, who is usually called the Professor and is known for his cautious speech, made an unprecedented and high-profile declaration of his intention to win the championship at the very first press conference of the season!

And it's not just the league.
The professor made it clear that his only goal for Arsenal this season is the treble!
The professor was thrilled!
Of course, compared to the professor, the reporters who sat below the stage and witnessed his crazy championship declaration had even less to say!

That is, not long after the professor said those words!

The media across England then launched a frenzy of praise for Arsenal.
