Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 140 (Daily Life) The dream of five sons passing the imperial examination, and is he going to miss the Barcelona match?
Wang Feng happily began planning for Van Dijk, while Su Hao was completely at ease preparing for the fourth Champions League group stage match three days later.

This is the Emirates Stadium revenge match that countless Barcelona fans have been eagerly anticipating.

11:11 AM, November 6th!
The Barcelona stars finally arrived at London International Airport on their private jet.

With Su Hao's four goals in the first match, plus the humiliation of hanging his jersey out to dry, reporters naturally gathered at the airport early, hoping to get some explosive scoops from these Barcelona stars.

And sure enough, the reporters' wait was worthwhile.

Busquets, who was humiliated on Instagram by Su Hao with a photo of his jersey hanging up to dry, took the initiative to approach the reporter.

"Victory! That's our only goal in London. We'll make Arsenal taste defeat, just like we've done for so many years. No, no, no! Don't mention that Suarez to me, I don't want to talk about that butcher!"

Busquets made a bold statement in front of the reporters without any hesitation, and even called Su Hao a butcher by name.

The reporters were delighted. Not long after Professor Bu made those remarks, Su Hao, who was chatting with Van Dijk and Kanté in the Arsenal training ground canteen, saw the original video footage on Tazi's phone.

"This guy's mouth really stinks, just like his character!"

Before Su Hao could even speak after watching the video, Van Dijk immediately started criticizing it.

For some reason, ever since that phone call with Su Hao, Van Dijk has become more relaxed, more confident, and even the sense of constraint he felt as a newcomer to the team has suddenly disappeared.

"However, I think he still has many strengths that we can learn from!"

After Van Dijk finished his rant, to his surprise, the first person to show Su Hao the news, Brother Ta, gave a different opinion.

Upon hearing this, even Su Hao turned to look at Brother Ta with some confusion.

With a major battle imminent, it seems a bit odd for Captain Ta Zi to say this.
However, Su Hao quickly came to terms with it, because Brother Ta then added, "At least when it comes to bluffing by falling to the ground, he is indeed very skilled!"

"Hahahaha!"

A corny joke immediately made everyone at the table burst into laughter.

However, while Su Hao, Van Dijk, Sanchez, and the other newcomers were laughing together, Ramsey, along with the recovered Wilshere and Walcott, were hiding in a corner not far away, exchanging glances with each other.

No consistent playing time, no guarantee of a future.

These former professors' trusted confidants and protégés really had no interest in getting involved with Su Hao and his group of outsiders.

It was 4 p.m. that day.

After finishing training, Su Hao got into his car and headed home.

As expected, just as Su Hao had thought, a large group of reporters surrounded the car as soon as it arrived at the entrance of the training base.

As for the reporters' questions, they naturally wanted to hear what countermeasures Su Hao would take in response to Busquets's remarks.

Of course, since Professor Bu had already fired the first shot, Su Hao didn't hold back or pretend to be magnanimous.

Su Hao rolled down the car window and didn't say anything. He simply stretched out his left hand towards the dense array of cameras.

The reporters got excited as soon as this action was made.

After Su Hao actually held up four fingers in front of them!

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The countless flashes of light immediately made Su Hao's eyes hurt.

After responding to the reporters, Su Hao naturally instructed the driver to start the car quickly.

There was no other way; Su Hao had other things to do and needed to go to the airport.

Jing Tian, ​​that silly girl, has a 5 o'clock flight!
Although Su Hao told her to watch the game at home, this girl insisted on going to the stadium to watch the rematch between Messi and Su Hao, which was also highly anticipated by domestic fans.

To be honest, although Su Hao had been talking non-stop on the phone with Jing Tian all this time,

But when the time actually came to meet, Su Hao was genuinely a little nervous.

After all, their ambiguous relationship had reached the point where a single lick could reveal the truth!

"Hey! Where are the flowers?"

5:29.

Fully armed, Su Hao finally met Jing Tian, ​​who was also fully armed, at the airport exit.

However, as soon as they met, this simple-minded girl reached out her hand to Su Hao and asked for flowers.

Flowers?

Do you really need to bring flowers when picking someone up at the airport?

Fortunately, Su Hao's mind works quickly.

"Paparazzi are taking pictures, let's get out of here!"

After saying that, Su Hao grabbed Jing Tian's hand and quickly walked towards the VIP exit.

Jing Tian, ​​who had just been complaining that Su Hao was such a blockhead that he didn't even bring a bouquet of flowers, was so frightened by Su Hao's words that she quickly ran away.

There was no other way; Jing Tian, ​​at a crucial moment in the rise of her career, didn't want paparazzi to photograph her and Su Hao having anything going on.

Of course, this doesn't mean Jing Tian thinks Su Hao is unworthy of her. On the contrary, she's afraid reporters will write things like she actively seduced China's top sports superstar in order to climb the ladder!

If she, who had never been famous in ages, suddenly became famous because of this, she would feel like dying!
Jing Tian looked around anxiously!

Even after arriving at Su Hao's van, Jing Tian kept turning her head to check where Su Hao's so-called paparazzi were. She was so focused that she didn't even realize that her hand was still being held by Su Hao!
"Hey! Are you lying to me?"

After confirming several times that no one was around, she turned to look at Su Hao still holding her little hand.

Jing Tian finally realized what was happening!

"No way! You don't know, the paparazzi in England are amazing. They have those high-powered cameras that can capture wrinkles on a person's face from hundreds of meters away!"

"Ah? Is it so powerful?"

"Yes, you know the competition is coming soon, and the reporters are waiting for me to come up with a story all day long!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier? I wouldn't have come over and bothered you!"

"Pah! Your presence isn't a problem, it's definitely cheering me on! Without you, I thought playing against Barcelona would be a bit difficult, but seeing you today, this game absolutely has to score four more goals!"

"Keep bragging! Four more goals and you think you're the king of football?!"

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Here, take this!"

Just as Su Hao was patting his chest and bragging, Jing Tian suddenly pulled a small square box tied with a red ribbon from her bag.

Moreover, while stuffing the things into Su Hao's hand, Jing Tian blushed and deftly pulled her slightly sweaty hand away from Su Hao's grasp.

Wow! A rich woman bought me a gift? What is it? Let me guess?

"Hey, hurry up and take it apart! Look at it, and if you don't like it, just say so. I still have the warranty card; I can return it!"

After all, it was the first time she had given such an expensive gift to a boy, so Jing Tian was a little nervous but also a little excited, urging Su Hao to open it quickly.

Got it!
Since everyone had said that, Su Hao naturally tore off the packaging without hesitation.

Upon opening it, I was surprised to find it was a men's watch.

As for watches and such, Su Hao, who was a loser in his previous life, had absolutely no knowledge of them.

He only knew that Rolex was very expensive, and the others were Tissot, Longines, and so on.

This thing in front of me
Without a price tag, Su Hao genuinely had no idea what this thing was.

(Guess what this is and how much it costs?)
However, Su Hao didn't know the price, but the little bird on the watch was quite cute.

Su Hao began to observe the little bird, while Jing Tian kept a close eye on Su Hao's expression.

After all, he had spent over three million yuan to buy Su Hao the Jaquet Droz automaton.

In Jing Tian's mind, even if Su Hao was as very, very, very good at making money as the news said, it was still a possibility.

He should be able to fancy a watch worth three million.

However, to Jing Tian's disappointment, Su Hao did not react at all when she opened the package.

"Hey! Do you like it or not? If you don't, I'll return it!"

"I love it, of course! But Lao Tian, ​​what kind of watch is this? You're so stingy, it doesn't even have a brand name. You didn't buy it on Pinduoduo, did you?"

"Huh? Pinduoduo?"

In his haste, Su Hao blurted out "Pinduoduo" without thinking.

"Ahem, what I mean is I don't recognize it, but just looking at it and feeling it, it probably won't be cheap, right?" "Tch! I thought you knew everything, but you don't recognize it!"

"If you give me a few pictures of female celebrities, I can definitely tell them apart, but this chart, I really don't understand it!"

"Oh dear! You!"

The two of them joked around as they walked back to Su Hao's house.

As for why I went straight home...

Naturally, Su Hao's suggestion of going to a hotel was too conspicuous. His family has professional Chinese and Western chefs, and their privacy is also good.

Ultimately, Jing Tian was frightened by Su Hao's comment about too many paparazzi, so she could only reluctantly follow Su Hao to the top-tier villa owned by Arsenal, which Wenger had previously arranged for Su Hao to live in.

Jing Tian, ​​having seen the world, only complained a few times about how foreigners were wasting land after Su Hao mentioned his supposedly top-notch villa, before hurriedly running to her room to take a shower.

Of course, she wasn't going to heat up the food; rather, after such a long flight, Jing Tian was indeed exhausted and feeling unwell.

"Hey James, can you help me identify this watch? Do you recognize it?"

After Jing Tian left, Su Hao quietly called over his butler (the old man Mendes had recently hired to manage everything in the villa after they moved in).

"Sir, this is a Jaquet Droz automaton. I don't remember the exact model number, but I do remember the price; it should be around 40 euros."

Dig!

Upon hearing James's words, Su Hao was so frightened that he spat out the water he had just put in his mouth.

Four hundred thousand euros?
That's equivalent to 400 million RMB?
He bought a watch for 400 million and gave it to himself?
This...this.
Although four million is not much for Su Hao now.

But the problem is...
Even if he were asked to deliver something worth four million, he figured he wouldn't be able to.

That guy, Jing Tian.
Regardless of whether her family is wealthy or not, four million would probably be enough for her to make one or even two movies.

Not anymore!
Jing Tian has been so generous in giving him a watch worth four million, he should at least give something back.
A house as a gift?
Ugh! That's so tacky. And giving a girl a house, especially when their relationship isn't even official or can't be publicized, just feels a bit off.

Besides giving away houses.
After much thought, Su Hao could only think of giving her some jewelry.

However, before Su Hao could decide what gift to give in return, Jing Tian had already finished showering and returned.

Jing Tian taking a bath
For some reason, Su Hao wasn't looking at Jing Tian's rosy face at this moment. Instead, he was recalling the heartbreaking story that many years later, this girl would unexpectedly become popular because of a live stream after taking a shower!
"Hey! What are you eating? I don't like steak, it's awful!"

Upon entering the room, seeing that Su Hao was already wearing the watch she had bought, Jing Tian blushed and secretly smiled. Then, she casually sat down next to Su Hao and asked him what she was most concerned about: what to eat.

That night, Su Hao had a dream.

He dreamt that in the second match between Arsenal and Barcelona, ​​he was once again unstoppable, achieving an exaggerated five-goal victory.
For the first goal, Su Hao used a clever turn with the ball and then aimed directly between the goalkeeper's legs to poke the ball!
The football mercilessly slipped between the goalkeeper's legs, spinning violently all the way to the back of the net.

For the second goal, Su Hao, from a position more than 30 meters away from the goalkeeper, pulled the ball back with his back to goal, then withstood the attack from Barcelona's two defensive midfielders on the left and right, and once again changed the score to 2-0 with a powerful shot!

Seeing their goal breached for the second time, the Barcelona goalkeeper was naturally furious and grabbed the grass with both hands!

The third goal was once again a dazzling solo performance by Su Hao, who, after a series of dazzling dribbling maneuvers, unleashed a powerful backheel shot!

Even as the match neared its end, Su Hao, to the astonishment of countless fans, used his incredibly strong physique to knock past the Barcelona defender and send the ball behind the completely limp Barcelona goalkeeper.

5: 0!

Su Hao's exaggerated display of five sons' success completely drowned out the frenzied roars in London that night!

only.
Dreams are beautiful.

But the problem might be that they forgot to close the window while they were sleeping.

When Su Hao arrived at the training ground the next day, he was surprised to find himself trembling violently.

My limbs felt weak and I was trembling!
Even the forehead feels a little hot to the touch.

Damn it, are you sick?
Su Hao went to the infirmary with these questions in mind.

Only when the team doctor placed the thermometer measuring 38.9 degrees Celsius in front of Su Hao did Su Hao truly believe it.
How could someone with his rough and savage body catch a cold?

"Hey! Your temperature is still rising. Forget about training. I think you should go to the hospital!"

It's not just training that's messed up!
The team doctor even called Wenger directly to tell him the devastating news that was absolutely terrible for Arsenal.

"What? 38.9 degrees Celsius? Quick! Get him to the hospital!"
Although the professor was very upset that Su Hao had fallen ill out of nowhere just one day before the crucial match against Barcelona.

However, the professor immediately arranged for Arsenal staff to take Su Hao to the hospital.

After all, no matter how much hype there is, the match is just a group stage game. Even if they lose, it won't affect Arsenal's qualification!
At 3 p.m. that day.
After undergoing various complex examinations at the hospital, including MRI scans, Su Hao's fever was finally diagnosed.

Acute viral cold.

Moreover, because Su Hao is in such good health that he has hardly ever been sick, his symptoms are much more severe than those of ordinary people.

The hospital wanted to admit Su Hao, but Jing Tian was all alone at home, so Su Hao naturally refused the hospital's request and drove home, planning to have Mendes arrange for a private doctor to come to his house for treatment.

But when he got home, he discovered that he wasn't the only one who was sick.

Jing Tian is also running a fever in bed!

Got it!
Seeing that Jing Tian also looked sickly, Su Hao could only call Mendes again and say that there were two patients.

A reporter's nose is always the most sensitive.

Before Su Hao's private doctor even arrived, reports broke that Su Hao was ill and might miss the Barcelona-Arsenal match the day after tomorrow.

Moreover, these reporters somehow managed to find out exactly what disease Su Hao had and what its subtype was.

In the Arsenal manager's office, after hearing from the paparazzi that Su Hao was sick, the professor was so angry that he almost slammed his fist on the table.

The opponent has a full squad, and Suarez has also returned from suspension, forming the newest and most terrifying MSN trio in La Liga with Messi and Neymar.

Faced with such a formidable opponent, the professor was also considering whether he should continue to engage in an attacking style of play against Barcelona.

it's good now!

If this news gets out, and without Su Hao, if he were to engage in a direct attacking battle with Barcelona, ​​wouldn't that be pure suicide?
Left with no other option, the professor had to revert to all the previous strategies and formations.

"Boss, including tonight and tomorrow, Su has 60 hours to recover. I wonder what Su's situation is?"

"We don't need to consider Su anymore. The hospital's test results are very serious. Forcing Su to play in this physical condition will cause irreversible damage to his body. We can't let Su suffer for the sake of winning a single match."

The professor was, after all, still the professor who doted on his dream girl the most.

Even according to Steven's analysis, Su Hao did have a chance to catch up with the game at the last minute, but in that state, how could he feel at ease letting Su Hao play?

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come!"

The professor rearranged tactics in his office, while Su Hao and Jing Tian were receiving IV drips in their villa, one on each side of each other.

Jing Tian's medicine was just ordinary cold medicine, but Su Hao's was different.

This private doctor is the one Mendes uses to treat Cristiano Ronaldo and his players.

Of course, this is not because Su Hao is putting on airs, but because as a professional player, he must adhere to strict medication standards when receiving treatment for any disease.

Otherwise, if taking medication haphazardly leads to a positive urine test, that would be troublesome.

The case could range from a few months or even half a year of litigation to several years of bans for doping.

hiss!

Just as he was thinking about it, Su Hao suddenly realized something.

Speaking of which, his Pogba character died at the age of thirty and then resurrected four years later. Could it be that this idiot was using performance-enhancing drugs?
Then he was given a four-year ban, which was later reduced to two years after he won the lawsuit.

The more I think about it, the more possible it becomes.

"Ding dong!"
"A negative index has been detected in the host's physical health!"

"Use the legendary item, the Injury and Disease Immunity Card, to eliminate?"

Just as Su Hao was thinking about Pogba's mess, the system suddenly sounded a notification.

Oh shit!

Upon hearing this warning, Su Hao angrily swore.

A legendary item that cures a cold?

You think I'm an idiot?!

PS: I'm still at my post, so I'm posting this early. I've marked it as a routine post, so please don't criticize me. Also, Su Hao won't be playing in the second Barcelona match. After all, the group stage isn't very interesting, so we need to speed things up and fast-forward to the knockout stage to make it more enjoyable to write!
