Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 128 A Second Blossom: When Tikitaka Fades into History!
"Oh dear! Another conflict has broken out!"

"Sanchez really didn't hold back against his old teammate this time!"

"Su Hao! Stay calm right now. You've already been warned by the referee once, so don't get a card!"

"It's definitely something to be aware of; Barcelona players are quite adept at putting pressure on the referee."

When Sanchez's foul reignited the excitement, commentators Huang Jianxiang and Zhan Jun in the commentary booth expressed some concern as Su Hao began to criticize Barcelona in certain aspects.
"Did you see what this guy just did? Kid! Stand back!"

"Alright, do you think we don't know that your greatest talent is acting?"

At the forefront of the conflict.

Su Hao and Busquets, head to head, were so ruthless they were practically about to fight.

As for everyone else.

Tajkovic and Pique were shoving each other, while Pedro faced off against Sagna.
Xavi and Di Maria then surrounded the referee.

The scene was extremely chaotic.

Only Messi, who had been brought down, remained with a furrowed brow, awaiting the referee's final verdict!
It's been a while!

With the referee's repeated whistles, the conflict finally came to an end.

Arsenal fans once again witnessed Sanchez's loyalty, receiving a yellow card.

The others escaped unharmed because they were relatively restrained.

However, the referee also made a strong statement, saying that no matter who it is, if there is another foul with such obvious bias, he will promptly ask them to leave the field.

After hearing the referee's assurance, Messi, who had fallen to the ground, was finally helped up by Xavi and Iniesta.

The game was able to continue!
Because the place where Sanchez committed the foul was not too far from the goal, before Messi took the free kick with the ball.

Ta Zi then called out to Su Hao and the other tall players to form a human wall.

In 2014, Messi had not yet honed his free kicks to the point where they were as precise as penalty kicks.

And so, amidst the sighs of regret from the 100,000 Barcelona fans in the stands, Messi sent the ball high into the stands!
Barcelona's attacking opportunity, which they finally found through extremely complicated passing, came to an end.

Compared to the incredibly complex tikitaka in Barcelona!

Arsenal's attack was much cleaner and more efficient.

Szczesny's big feet.

After the center circle, Su Hao effortlessly headed the ball across to Di Maria on the left wing, despite Busquets' lack of pressure.

If it were the previous Chamberlain...
Su Hao also needs to quickly follow up and relieve some of the pressure on Chamberlain.

but now
At his peak, when facing Pedro's defense, Di Maria could easily break through Barcelona's defense on the wing with just a change of direction and acceleration.

Even when Iniesta moves to cover, Di Maria can still lob the ball into the penalty area before Barcelona's wing defense can close him down.

And... high-altitude ball!
This is perhaps the thing Barcelona will always fear most.

Especially now that Arsenal has two top players, Lewandowski and Suarez.

"DiMaria!"

"Left foot!"

"That was a good pass!"

"Back post!!!"

"Su Hao and Pique jump together!"

"no problem!"

Huang Jianxiang, the commentator, suddenly raised his voice and stood up!
Meanwhile, at the same time at Camp Nou, another breathtaking moment arrived for all Barcelona fans.

Although Pique's height is also 1.92 meters.

However, in terms of physical attributes alone, Pique is no match for Su Hao, who has a 93-point balance.

Therefore, after the two collided in mid-air towards the same location.

Su Hao effortlessly shoved Pique aside and slammed his forehead into the oncoming football.

In mid-air, Pique stared wide-eyed at Su Hao in front of him, his eyes wide with disbelief.

For Pique, this was the first time he had encountered an Asian player with such terrifying physical abilities at the age of 17.

Even at the moment of contact, if Pique hadn't twisted his waist, he felt he might have been sent flying by Su Hao's impact!

"Su Hao!!!"

"Headbutt!!!"

"Ter Stegen lunged forward!"

"No problem."

"The ball sailed over Ter Stegen's fingers."

Pique landed on the grass in despair.

And the bustling Camp Nou fell silent once again at this moment.

"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!"

Goal!!!!

"The ball went in!!"

"The match is in its 14th minute!"

"Arsenal have breached Barcelona's goal again!"

"2:0!!!"

"Two headers!"

"After passing the ball to Di Maria on the wing, Su Hao sprinted into Barcelona's penalty area!"

"Under Pique's close marking!"

"Su Hao leaped high, forcefully shoving Pique aside, and sent the ball into Ter Stegen's goal for the second time!"

"2:0!!!"

"The game has only been going on for less than two minutes!"

Arsenal 2-0 Barcelona!

"Arsenal fans, can you believe it?"

"Two goals!"

"Su Hao!"

"Two goals were scored in less than 15 minutes in front of the arrogant Barcelona fans!!!"
-
[Fuck you, is this some kind of sci-fi movie? No, this can't be real! Barcelona got two goals down in less than 15 minutes?!]
-
[Impossible! When did Barcelona become this weak?! 0-2?! This must be a fixed match!]
-
[Su Hao is awesome! Damn, that's how you beat those damn Barcelona! Haha, Su Hao's on fire today! He's fucking amazing!]
-
[You guys have been overestimating Barcelona! With Xavi's form declining, Barcelona's passing and possession game has lost its former dominance, and Suarez's goal just now was only possible because Barcelona lacks top-tier aerial defense.]
-
[Exactly! Look at Barcelona's aerial ability right now. Mascherano is practically non-existent; it's just Pique and Busquets. But Busquets is off guarding Lewandowski, and Pique alone can't stop Suarez!]
-
[Haha, long ball and cross! That's how we should go all out against Barcelona, ​​let those bastards stop discriminating against us! Keep it up! Di Maria assisted Su Hao, and there's Sanchez too. Now I understand, anyone kicked out of Barcelona becomes like they've taken some kind of aphrodisiac when they see Barcelona!]

At Camp Nou stadium.

After scoring his second goal, Su Hao finally started to get into the rhythm.

After embracing Lewandowski, Di Maria, Sanchez, and a few others who rushed over.

Su Hao also raised his hand to signal towards his own team's fans. However...
This simple gesture of raising his hand caused the Barcelona die-hards, who had just accepted Su Hao's silent celebration, to erupt in another riot.

Yes!

They had clearly already interpreted Su Hao's low-key celebration as him being afraid of the greetings from them, the fans.

But the result?

After getting to the second position, this guy actually dared to raise his hand again?

“chinkxxxxxx!”

"You son of a bitch!"

“China xxxxxxxxx!!!”

“Shhh!!!”

Imagine the terrifying boos that 100,000 fans could produce.

At least before Su Hao came to Camp Nou, he really had never heard of it.

However.
For Su Hao, who has the experience and mindset of a top-tier thirty-year-old template.

Let alone the boos of 100,000 people, even if 100,000 people simultaneously cursed him with vulgar language, he wouldn't be affected at all.
Of course, this round was accompanied by even more frenzied boos and various insults and hurls.

This made Su Hao's mind made up.

Just one more goal!
He wanted to show these Barcelona fans what it truly meant to be slapped in the face.

"Boss! Should we replace him? This is unacceptable!"

The boos from the Camp Nou stadium continued.

And in front of the Barcelona bench.

Watching their own team concede two goals to Arsenal in just 15 minutes.

Enrique's assistant was also frantically calling out to Enrique, "Is it...?"
Substitution?

In fact, as soon as Su Hao easily knocked past Busquets in midfield and sent the ball to the wing, Enrique began to think about whether he should substitute Mascherano.

But for Enrique...

They replaced him in less than twenty minutes.

This is practically telling the whole world that he lost to the professor in terms of tactical planning, isn't it?
And it was a crushing defeat.
"No! Wait a little longer! As long as Rio and Neymar can..."

Enrique's idea was very rosy.

In his view, if either Messi or Neymar can break through, his Barcelona team can completely turn the tide.

However.
What Enrique didn't know was that with that big-toothed Sue unable to play...

Without a top-class center forward linking them up, Messi and Neymar seem to have lost their most important bond.

The two's small-scale coordination was simply not enough to break through the iron gate of Kanté and Taj Takagi in the mid lane!
Especially with Su Hao, a midfielder with top-level defensive experience at the age of thirty, making up for every mistake.

Including Pedro!
Barcelona's front three were almost all playing their own game, and were completely neutralized by Arsenal's relentless and aggressive defense!

It's like the 24th minute of the match.

Just as Xavi desperately broke through the defenses of Iniesta and Kanté to deliver the ball to Messi.

Messi clearly used his top-notch shoulder drop and ghost-like change of direction to create a shooting angle.

But at the last moment, just as Messi was about to shoot, Su Hao, who had just been following Neymar to prevent Neymar and Messi from linking up, unhesitatingly used his 1.92-meter-tall frame to block Messi's shot.

A powerful, sweeping shot!
The football hit the edge of Su Hao's right leg and deflected before flying out of bounds.

It looks like it's that annoying Su Hao again at the last moment.

Messi was so angry that he spat directly onto the grass!
28th minute of the match!

Barcelona is back in action.

Xavi, the mastermind behind Arsenal, saw the strength of Arsenal's central defense, so he tried having Neymar on the left wing try to break through Arsenal's defense.

just
If it were during the Ramsey era...

Neymar was absolutely able to dominate Arsenal's right flank with his flashy skills and stylish dribbling.

However, the problem is that Arsenal's right flank now has that avenger named Sanchez.

Messi and Sanchez can both be ruthless.

This so-called Brazilian genius!

The Chileans naturally treated Neymar like livestock.

Carrying a yellow card?

This is absolutely no problem for Sanchez, a seasoned veteran of South America.

Why not just avoid committing major fouls?

Sneaking a step on your heel?

Or, after getting close, use your hips to thrust several times towards Neymar's back?
Or perhaps it's about getting Gibbs into close combat and increasing the intensity?
In short
From the 28th to the 35th minute, Barcelona shifted their attack to the left flank.

Poor horse not only failed to make any impressive breakthroughs, but it was also almost brought to tears by Gibbs and Taj, who often came over to help defend.

In the end, just after passing Sanchez with a rainbow flick and before he could even get the ball off, the furious Tajkovic launched another heavy boar charge, slamming the horse onto the grass and initiating a three-and-a-half-turn death roll!

"Oh no! This ball!"

"You, Neymar, really asked for this!"

"You play this in professional matches?"

"Arteta's situation is relatively mild. If it were Pepe, I think Neymar would probably be on a stretcher by now!"
-
[Haha, on a stretcher? Zhan Jun is being mild. If Pepe really got pulled off that rainbow flick by Neymar, Pepe would probably have turned around and punched Neymar a few times!]
-
[Hiss! Have you guys noticed? This Barcelona team doesn't seem that strong, especially after Kante marked Messi so closely and limited his play. Barcelona's attack isn't threatening at all; they're just relying on Messi's individual efforts!]
-
No, no, no! It's not that they contained Messi, but rather, did you see how incredibly strong Arsenal's central axis is? Lewandowski's hold-up play is top-notch, Suarez's ability to both attack and defend is also top-notch, and Kante, needless to say, has an incredible range of movement and interception ability. And most importantly, did you notice how amazing Van Dijk's pressing was today?!
-
[Now that you mention it, it's true. Several times Messi was about to shoot, but this guy's timely intervention blocked Messi's shot!]

Commentators Lao Huang and Zhan Jun, watching Neymar actually make this move, couldn't help but criticize it.

As for the field!
Although the referee clearly saw Arteta's foul right in front of the horse, he was completely unresponsive under the combined attack of Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets, and simply awarded Barcelona a free kick from an absurdly poor position.

Referees are human too!

He also has his own subjective consciousness.

Given this purely provocative dribbling move, it's already quite an achievement that others could only lightly knock Neymar away.

Even this free kick was barely given out under the barrage of angry shouts from over 100,000 fans!

Otherwise, he would have just shrugged and signaled for the game to continue!
The 36th minute of the game.

Neymar, who didn't have many highlight moments, helped Barcelona win a free kick in a very poor position by performing a death roll and falling to the ground.

Xavi stood in front of the ball.

Arsenal's backfield.

Kante was following Messi, while Tajkovic's gaze was fixed on Neymar.

As for Arsenal's penalty area.

The previously unknown Dutch center-back was staring intently at him with piercing eyes!

Seeing that tall and strong ball in Arsenal's penalty area, Xavi could only pass the ball back, once again unleashing their most proficient, yet slowly fading, tikitaka style of play in football history!

PS: I think there will be another update later tonight. My wife's great-aunt passed away, and I need to help take care of relatives and friends.
