Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 126, the Catalan Major Event, has occurred, and this has escalated to a significant level.
After attending the lottery ceremony in Switzerland, the professor returned to his monotonous daily routine of working overtime.

However, compared to the previous unfortunate problems of worrying about injuries or lack of replacements for certain positions, the professor's current daily concern is how to reasonably allocate the rotation opportunities among his team members.

"Boss! Van Dijk has been performing really well lately! And Vermaelen also mentioned to me that he's ready!"

As always, Steven delivered the fatal blow to the professor when he was at his most troubled.

Vermaelen
As the once most trusted defensive anchor, he must be feeling quite bad about his current predicament due to injuries.

The professor knew very well that Vermaelen certainly didn't lack ability.

The problem is that neither of Arsenal's two defenders, in terms of teamwork or form, gives me any reason to take them off the pitch!
"I know about Van Dijk's situation. Let him play this weekend, or... should we rotate the whole team? Let Suarez and these newcomers start?"

As they were talking, the professor suddenly wanted to experiment with a central axis consisting of Lewandowski, Su Hao, and Van Dijk.

In the previous training matches with Team B, Su Hao cooperated quite well with these players. Instead of rotating them one by one, it would be better to just bring on the entire Team B team, since the opponent this weekend is just newly promoted Leicester City.

"So, will the roster be announced during the training session later?"

"Okay! Let's announce it directly!"

The professor is a pragmatist!
After deciding to test his completely new lineup in the weekend's match against Leicester City, Su Hao, along with Kanté, Vermaelen, Van Dijk, and veteran captain Artate, who hadn't started in a long time, easily defeated the old Arsenal team, which had lost Su Hao, 3-1 in the training match that morning.

It was this training match that made all the Arsenal veterans, including Ramsey, feel that suffocating sense of urgency once again!

Especially Giroud
After witnessing Lewandowski's absolutely top-tier striker instincts and ability to seize opportunities in the penalty area without him, this guy suddenly felt relieved and went to the professor's office on his own initiative.

Thursday!

Early in the morning, Su Hao set off from home in the nanny car sent by Mendes, heading to a place that was 20 kilometers away from his current apartment.

It's not an advertisement or endorsement.

Instead, the house that Su Hao had asked Mendes to find for him was finally starting to look promising.

As a pure Chinese person.

Putting everything else aside, Su Hao couldn't escape the constraints of worldly conventions when it came to buying a house.

Moreover, his elderly parents back home have been urging him countless times to come to England to be with him.

If the two of them were to come over, Su Hao's apartment would indeed be a bit cramped right now.

"Mr. Su! Hello, I'm House!"

After a drive of about twenty minutes, Su Hao finally arrived at Fulham, which is now one of the top three most luxurious places in London.

As soon as I got out of the car, a bald, middle-aged man in a suit quickly approached me.

As Arsenal's hottest rising star right now, and having just made a high-profile announcement of his blockbuster contract with Nike, House, a real estate manager and die-hard fan, naturally knew that he was incredibly lucky today.

"Hello, Mr. House!"

After a brief greeting, House officially began his work.

"MR.su! Our Fulham Reach features interior design by world-renowned designer Tara Bernerd."

After a lavish introduction, House led Su Hao into their showroom.

And I must say, as one of the most expensive upscale neighborhoods in London today, this house on the banks of the Fulham River is absolutely stunning.

And the price isn't too expensive.

The most expensive penthouse in the project, the Hurlingham Waterfront (223 square meters), costs less than £450 million.

Including renovations and such, it will cost at most less than £600 million.

However, as a time traveler, Su Hao knew very well that in the next few years, along with the Middle East and other places, a large group of Middle Eastern tycoons flocked to the central cities of Europe, and the price of luxury homes in London soared two or three times.

So, Su Hao suddenly had a whimsical idea and decided to go all out!
"Mr. House, are there any discounts if we buy the whole building?"

House, dressed in a suit and tie, was enthusiastically telling Su Hao how excellent their property was when Su Hao suddenly said something that startled House so much that he almost fainted like Fan Wei!
However, after a moment of surprise, Houston was immediately overjoyed.

There's no way around it. As one of London's most exclusive luxury districts, selling just one of these apartments would be enough to feed his whole family for a year. If he were to sell an entire building...
He could even apply for early retirement!

"Mr. Su, were you just referring to a building?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I don't think I have the authority for that. I need to call my boss!"

After saying that, House hurriedly took his phone out of his pocket and ran to a secluded place.

A duplex apartment in a building with a penthouse would cost approximately £8000 million.

Even Su Hao, who had saved up a lot of money in the past two years, frowned immediately upon hearing this number.

Because he had previously asked Mendes to use a large portion of his money to buy Apple stock, it seems that he doesn't actually have that much money on hand now.

Fortunately, according to House, a large client like him can pay in installments.

So, after discussing it with Mendes, Su Hao paid about £3000 million and got the key to the house with the best view on the Fulham River.

Furthermore, Su Hao spent another £200 million and instructed Mendes's personal assistant to find someone to renovate the top floor first.

Having settled the housing situation, Su Hao once again immersed himself in his monotonous training and leveling up.

There was nothing he could do; it was only when he actually spent a lot of money that Su Hao realized he was actually quite poor!
And just like that, three days passed quickly.

On the morning of August 29, 2014.

One day before the start of the third round of the Premier League.

The entire Arsenal team traveled in a red bus to Leicestershire, 160km from London.

On the bus, looking at the not-so-bustling streets of Leicestershire, Kant, sitting next to Su Hao, muttered something.

"Hey! Did you know? Before I came to Arsenal, Leicester City scouts had already contacted me."

Upon hearing Xiao Kankan's words, Su Hao quickly took off his headphones.

As a time traveler, Su Hao was well aware that the future world's best defensive midfielder sitting next to him had truly begun to make his mark at Leicester City.

He had originally thought that with his arrival, Kanté would probably never have any connection with Leicester City again.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that I had snatched the deal from Leicester City ahead of time.

Moreover, without Kante, will the 16-year Leicester City miracle simply vanish?
However, Su Hao was just thinking about it. Whether Leicester City had a miracle or not was none of his business. The most important thing now was to deal with Leicester City steadily and then prepare for this year's Champions League.

Despite his hard work last year, he was still eliminated by Real Madrid.

With this year's strengthening, he's bound to win the Champions League title no matter what.

If he wins the Champions League, maybe he can break into the top three for next year's Ballon d'Or?

To become the number one player after Messi and Ronaldo?
It's not that Su Hao lacks ambition; it's just that even if he won the Champions League, those damn Europeans might still try to steal the Ballon d'Or from those two during this period.

Arsenal are preparing confidently for the next day's match.

Meanwhile, Nigel Pearson, the manager who led Leicester City back to the Premier League, has been having trouble sleeping for several days.

Having lost the first two rounds of the league, Nigel Pearson certainly didn't want to suffer a third consecutive defeat at his home ground.

just
Facing Arsenal, currently the most formidable team in the Premier League in terms of both roster strength and momentum.

Nigel Pearson really didn't know what strategy to use on his home turf.

A counter-offensive?

He wasn't so brainless as to give points to a team like Arsenal, who were riding high on their morale, in the way they preferred.

After much deliberation, Nigel Pearson decided to stick to their old style of play, which they had used all the way up from the Championship: counter-attacking!

8 month 30 day.

Amidst the anticipation of countless Arsenal fans, the third league match has finally kicked off.

Although the current Leicester City team has a future breakout striker like Vardy.

But
Without the major overhaul of Ranieri and the addition of new players who will be champions in the future.

Leicester City's goal was breached after just over twenty minutes!

It's still top-notch coordination from Su Hao!
After Su Hao dribbled back and forth several times from left to right and then from right to left, he finally succeeded in delivering the ball to Di Maria, who had made a powerful run into the penalty area.

With no one marking him, the angel easily made it 1-0 with a single tap-in.
After successfully breaching Leicester City's goal, Arsenal, riding high on their morale, quickly ended any suspense in the match.

36th minute of the match!

Su Hao rushed into the penalty area, and Sanchez, who had just received Su Hao's diagonal pass, cleverly chipped the ball to Su Hao's feet.

Before the ball even hit the ground, Su Hao unleashed a powerful volley!
The ball has entered Leicester City's goal for the second time.

2: 0!

53nd minute of the second half.

Leicester City, who held on for more than 20 minutes, suffered another blow.

This time, it comes from Arsenal's new signing, striker Robert Lewandowski!

After receiving a through ball from Su Hao, Lewandowski didn't stop the ball and pushed it with the instep of his right foot!
The football grazed the post and bounced into the bottom right corner of Leicester City's goal.

3: 0!

Arsenal, as always, ended the suspense of the game in less than sixty minutes.

It was right after the third goal was scored.

It seems to be to take care of the mentality of the veteran players sitting on the bench.

The professor immediately switched to a replacement system.

The phenomenal duo of Suarez and Kante were substituted off for rest, while Ramsey and Cazorla came on as substitutes.

The professor originally thought that Cazorla, who hadn't had a chance to play in the last two rounds, might need to slowly regain his form.

But what the professor didn't expect was that, perhaps to prove himself or to make the professor realize that he, Cazorla, was still Arsenal's top-class Santiago Cazorla.

He only played for less than 5 minutes!

Santiago Cazorla received a pass back from Lewandowski and unleashed a stunning volley to make it 4-0! Arsenal's attack was multifaceted, while their defense...
The professor was pleasantly surprised to find that Virgil van Dijk, the young Dutch center-back he had bought at a low price on Su Hao's advice, was indeed performing well.

Even in handling many high-flying balls, the professor felt that even Mertesacker didn't seem as composed as Van Dijk.

It's not just Van Dijk!

Vermaelen, the team's former captain, also showed his previous level of performance in this match.

Under his command, Arsenal completely shut down Leicester City's attack throughout the entire match!

It was after this match that the professor began to consider whether he should be ruthless and start the transition of Arsenal's entire starting lineup!

5: 0!

Arsenal secured their third major victory, earning 3 points.

Meanwhile, in other leagues at the same time.

Even Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea all defeated their opponents, winning all three matches and earning 9 points.

However, with a huge advantage in goal difference of more than a dozen, Arsenal still firmly held the top spot in the Premier League standings, surpassing the other three teams.

Of course, this was during Arsenal's triumphant run.

The FA also presented the August Player of the Month award to Suho.

This is Su Hao's fourth Player of the Month award since the second half of last season.

seriously.
After handling it so many times, Su Hao had indeed become indifferent to it.

With August over, Arsenal naturally shifted their training focus to the Champions League.

After all, they were facing their old nemesis, Barcelona.

So the professor never even considered playing a 4-4-2 formation at Camp Nou!

This is why Ta Zi, who had been somewhat depressed during this period, regained his starting position.

9 month 13 day.

After a comfortable 4-1 victory over Swansea at home, the entire Arsenal team boarded a flight to Spain early the next morning.

Yes!

The 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League season, which football fans all over the world have been looking forward to, is coming soon.

Moreover, for Su Hao's fans, this match was a long-awaited opportunity to prove themselves.

There's nothing they can do about it. Because of Sanchez's comments, they've had countless arguments with Messi and Barcelona fans lately.

Even now, on the popular Chinese online forum "Da Di Ba," there's a wildly popular post that's already garnered over 100,000 replies and is still being updated continuously.

The content was naturally created by Messi fans to mock Su Hao for not being worthy of carrying Messi's shoes.

10:9 AM on January 14th.

The flight from London to Barcelona finally landed smoothly on the runway of Barcelona International Airport!
At the same time, the reporters who had been waiting at the exit for a long time began to move toward the best interview positions.

About ten minutes later, the professor, dressed in a suit and tie, finally led this newly built Arsenal team, which had been built with a lot of money, to appear in front of everyone!

"Mr. Wenger."

Could you tell me?

"Wenger."

"Su!!!"

"his"

The professor had originally intended to refuse the interview and go directly to the hotel, but he couldn't withstand the onslaught of so many cameras and microphones.

Finally, with no other option, the professor stopped.

The moment the professor stopped, he was instantly surrounded by countless reporters.

Of course, besides the professor, Su Hao, Arsenal's current super core player, also enjoyed the same treatment.

"I've seen that interview video of Enrique! He thinks it's a good thing to face us in the first Champions League match, and I certainly think so too!"

"Even under Guardiola, we could still take all three points at Camp Nou. As for now?"

Professor Enrique is known for holding grudges. After the Champions League draw, the newcomer actually said that drawing Arsenal was a good thing.

From that moment on, the professor was waiting for an opportunity to thoroughly annoy Enrique.

Right there at the airport, the professor bluntly stated that he could beat Barcelona even during Guardiola's era.

Although he didn't mention Enrique at all, this statement praising his predecessor while ignoring his current one was quite damaging to Enrique!

The professor was disgusted by Enrique, while Su Hao, as always, kept a low profile, saying that Barcelona was a world-class club, that he was still young, and that he had a lot to learn.

Even though Su Hao had already lowered his stance so much, the Catalan journalists still kept urging him to respond to Sanchez's statement, which was also being made by journalists standing not far away.

Damn it!
With the competition just around the corner, how is he going to answer this question?

Could it be that Sanchez is wrong, and that he is simply not comparable to Xavi and Iniesta?

The reporters kept pestering Su Hao for an opinion, and after a while, Su Hao, just like Sanchez, decided to speak up and throw caution to the wind.

"Let's leave the problems on the field for on the field!"

After saying that, Su Hao pushed the reporter aside and quickly walked towards the exit passage.

It was Su Hao's words that gave these reporters a new hot topic to hype up.

Especially after Sanchez, who was standing behind Su Hao, added, "All I know is that in August last year, Su scored 4 goals and 4 assists in the Premier League. He was number one in both the top scorer and assist charts!"

The reporters' revelry has officially begun!
Mundo Deportivo: Wenger mocks Enrique for not being worthy of being compared to him, while China's Su arrogantly declares he will answer everything in the game!
Marca: The Champions League group stage is about to have a major clash between the managers, and China's Suarez responds strongly to the reporter's difficult questions!
The Times: Premier League Player of the Month for August declares victory, Su Hao boldly challenges the Barcelona-Habib-Bass combination!

Reporters went on a frenzy, sensationalizing the statements made by these Arsenal players.

Before long, the Barcelona people, who never back down verbally, began to respond.

Enrique!
As the new manager of Barcelona, ​​Enrique was naturally not going to stand idly by after Wenger used Guardiola in such a way.

"I don't know how to respond to Mr. Wenger's remarks. After all, compared to Mr. Wenger, I am indeed a newcomer. I am not as resilient as Mr. Wenger, who was able to stay at Arsenal after eight years without a title. However, Mr. Wenger's perseverance has indeed had an effect. After the Chinese businessman took over Arsenal, Mr. Wenger's words changed to sound like those of the nouveau riche."

Eight years without a title, nouveau riche
To insult someone, you must expose their weaknesses; to strike a snake, you must strike its vital spot!
Enrique's response can be considered a complete break with the professor.

Moreover, it wasn't just Enrique who publicly mocked the professor.

Having joined Barcelona less than two months ago, Suarez seemed to be trying to win over the Barcelona fans by bringing up Wenger's previous 1 euro deal.

Although he bit Chiellini during the World Cup, he is still serving a suspension!

"Yes, I know about it! For me, it was absolutely the biggest insult I've ever suffered in my career, and I can't understand why a traditional powerhouse in the Premier League would choose such a shameful method."

"I've played against that Suarez, God! I don't know who's been hyping him up, but from the first day I arrived in Barcelona, ​​from the first time I trained with Xavi and the others, I knew why this Barcelona team is so strong that people call it the 'Galactic Team'!"

"That Sue is not even worthy of being compared to Harvey and the others!"

Suarez publicly mocked the professor and Su Hao.

And as Su Hao's current die-hard supporter.

Giroud was the first to step forward.

"Suarez? I wonder if that guy has been brushing his teeth lately! No, no, I mean, has he had a medical check-up? But thankfully, he has to wait two months before he can play, otherwise our whole team would have to get rabies shots in advance!"

Giroud has a sharp tongue.

Especially when the term "rabies vaccine" appeared, Suya, who saw the news at home, was so angry that he smashed his own TV.

However, no matter how angry he was, Suarez had nothing to say to Giroud.

After all, he was indeed suspended by FIFA for four months for biting someone!

Of course, Suarez, whose teeth are the hardest in his body, also responded to Giroud on his social media.

"I can't play because of my suspension, but what about you?"

Forehead.
One sentence was enough to kill!

Sitting on the hotel bed, Big Gilru suddenly burst into tears!
From Suarez to Giroud.

And so, before the match even started, the mutual taunting between the two teams officially began.

However, although the players from both teams seemed to be mocking each other fiercely, they were actually all keeping their distance.

But when it comes to the fans, it's a different story.

9 month 16 day.

With less than two days to go before this crucial Champions League match.

A scene that shocked the world unfolded.

Yes!

Right here in Barcelona, ​​right in the square of Camp Nou stadium.

A group of radical Catalan separatists, upon encountering several Chinese fans wearing Suho jerseys and waving red flags, not only hurled racist insults at them.

They even resorted to violence when several men from Northeast China tried to reason with them.

Although these guys from Northeast China didn't back down, the difference in numbers was too great, and in the end, they were beaten so badly that they had to be taken away by ambulance.

As for those Barcelona fans who assaulted people?

With the deliberate protection of the local police, they were released on the grounds that there were too many people and it was impossible to identify the attackers!
This incident transformed what was originally an ordinary Champions League final into a battleground between fans of two different countries.
For the Catalans, they were simply teaching a lesson to the inferior Asian race who dared to act arrogantly after coming to their country.

But
For Chinese people!

The actions of Barcelona fans truly demonstrate their arrogance and discrimination to the extreme!
P.S.: I have to do DK+ and a meeting tonight, so I'm updating this early.

I've hit a plateau lately, so I need to work on organizing my noodles. I hope my readers will understand.
