Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 147 Major Changes to the System Shop, and What's a New Location Skill Chest?
2015 1 Month 25 Day.

There are three days left until the 23rd round of the Premier League.

Meanwhile, the two new signings from the winter transfer window, Kyle Walker and Alex Sandro, have officially appeared at Arsenal's Colney training ground.

On Training Field No. 1.

Ta Zi organized a small welcome ceremony for the two new teammates, as is customary for the whole team.

Although Wilshere's departure left many of Arsenal's veterans feeling a bit melancholic, that's just how professional football is.

With Arsenal now completely enveloped by the money-driven football policy, both Sagna and Gibbs are well aware that their fate after this season might be the same as Wilshere's.

"Hi! Su!"

"su!"

As soon as the welcoming ceremony ended, the newlyweds greeted Brother Ta and then naturally walked up to Su Hao.

Even though they are both newcomers to Arsenal, they both know exactly what this current Arsenal team is all about.

Finding a new leader in a new environment is the most basic step to gaining a foothold in a new team.

Because they were signings mid-season, the coach didn't give the new players any opportunities for acclimatization training. In the subsequent group scrimmage, both of them were placed in the starting lineup of the B team.

The training match lasted only thirty minutes.

The professor turned and left with a smile on his face.

you get what you pay for.

Although the professor is hesitant to include these two in the starting lineup for the next match, he is well aware of this, as are Gibbs and Sagna, who were also completely outmatched by the rookies in the training matches.
It's all just a matter of time!
The team has a new look, and he is Arsenal's only true core player now.

Su Hao naturally gave himself a small boost that very night.

After two months of competitions and training, Su Hao finally accumulated another 2 attribute points.

As always, it is directly added to the speed.

Su Hao's speed has also increased from 83 to 85!

The number 85 can be considered a watershed moment for professional players.

According to Su Hao's memory, the threshold value for a fast winger is 85!
Of course, to avoid suspicion, Su Hao not only frequently practiced his speed in front of everyone in the team during this period, but he also called Bolt and asked Bolt to recommend several sprint coaches to give him some guidance.

With these pretexts, Su Hao no longer worries about arousing suspicion by suddenly increasing his speed during the race.

Moreover, after adding points, Su Hao also took a look at the system shop that had been refreshed after the previous system update.

It was no wonder that Su Hao was overjoyed once again after seeing it.

There's nothing we can do about it, because the previous system shop only offered things like top-tier attribute and talent values.

The items are good, but those top-tier talents require months of training points and dozens of matches' worth of points. In short, these things are not something Su Hao, who just wants to quickly increase his speed, can afford.

But what about now?
I wonder if the system took pity on me out of human compassion.

In the very center of the store, there was suddenly an option for a blind box lottery.

Most importantly, this blind box lottery no longer requires your own competition points or training points.

According to the system's instructions, you can get a chance to draw a blind box for every 3 goals you score or 3 assists you get.

As for what prizes you can win in the lottery, the system has made it clear that there are no restrictions.

It could range from gray-quality items to legendary items or even attribute cards.

comfortable!
Seeing this item appear in the shop, Su Hao finally felt that he had finally achieved success and that there was hope for the future.

2015 1 Month 28 Day.

The 23rd round of the Premier League has finally arrived amidst the anticipation of countless Arsenal die-hard fans.

Aston Villa.

A relegation-threatened team currently ranked 12th in the league, located in Birmingham, in the midlands of England.

However, in terms of rankings, Aston Villa and the current Arsenal are worlds apart.

However, the most unpredictable matches in the Premier League are actually these big battles between relegation-threatened teams and league leaders.

Often, it's precisely these weak teams in the league that upset the league leaders, teams that will do anything to avoid relegation!
"Arsenal are very strong, and this match will definitely be very difficult for us, but even so, we will not give up easily. At the Emirates Stadium, we will do our best to try and get points!"

At the pre-match press conference, facing a barrage of questions from reporters, Aston Villa's current manager firmly stated his pre-match goals amidst numerous pessimistic pronouncements from journalists.

Even after Lambert revealed that his goal was to get points, the reporters all smirked as if they had heard a joke.

The reporters felt that Lambert's words were just self-consolation. Similarly, the professor sitting next to Lambert also felt that his opponent, who had only scored 11 goals in 23 rounds of the league and was known as the "Turtle Manager," was exaggerating.

however!
At that moment, no one knew that this unknown Lambert had created a classic tactic in this match that all of Arsenal's future rivals would try to imitate!

"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"

"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"

"This is a live broadcast of the 23rd round of the 2014-2015 English Premier League!"

Arsenal at home vs. Aston Villa!

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

"The referee is also looking at Armani!"

"Beep!!!"

"With the referee's whistle!"

"The competition has officially begun!"

"First, let's look at the starting lineups for both sides. The home team, Arsenal, wearing their traditional red and white jerseys and attacking from left to right, will start with goalkeeper Szczesny!"

"."

"On the other side, Aston Villa's starting goalkeeper, wearing the traditional light blue jersey, is Brad Guzan!"

"Defenders: Ali Sissoko, Ron Vlaar, Nathan Buck, Alan Hutton!"

Midfielders: Andreas Wyman, Ashley Westwood, Fabian Delph, Philipp Senderos, Gabriel Agbonlahor!

"Lone striker: Christian Benteke!"

"Hey Zhan Jun, look at this, Aston Villa's formation is a bit strange today. Former Arsenal player Philipp Senderos is actually in midfield. A center-back in midfield? What's going on here!"

Emirates Stadium!

The match began amidst the wild cheers of over 50,000 Arsenal fans.

First, Arsenal had possession of the ball.

The Arsenal anthem is going wild, and Arsenal flags are flying everywhere!
More than 50,000 Arsenal fans watched with great anticipation as Su led the entire Arsenal team into the opponent's half after the whistle blew.

Given the huge gap in the standings, all Arsenal fans felt that this match was a slaughter feast specially tailored for them.

Not only the fans thought so, but the Arsenal stars on the field also felt that, as usual, they could easily defeat their opponents in just 45 minutes or even less.

only!

Just as Su Hao dribbled the ball into the heart of Aston Villa's backfield.

Then, a scene that surprised many Arsenal fans unfolded.

是 的
The 1.9-meter-tall former center-back, Felipe Senderos, charged straight at Su Hao the moment Su Hao broke into the heart of the backfield without hesitation.

And it wasn't just Philipp Senderos; Ashley Westwood, the Aston Villa defensive midfielder, also followed suit.

The 1.9-meter-tall center guard is responsible for close body contact and even some minor tricks.

As for the other one, Ashley Westwood, he lingered nearby, looking for an opportunity.

It was this amazing combination of a center-back and a defensive midfielder that made Su Hao, who could originally rely on his physicality and footwork to dominate the opponent's backfield, suddenly uncomfortable.

Especially after Philip Senderos gritted his teeth and rammed into Su Hao, causing him to stumble, Westwood immediately poked the ball away from Su Hao.

"hiss!"

"Lambert has some ideas!"

"Isn't this just a combination of a forward-positioned center-back and zonal marking?"

"The center-backs have the physicality and ability to intercept head-on, and their zone defense can compress Su Hao's space for receiving and passing the ball!"

"Interesting!"

"In this case."

The commentators, Lao Huang and Zhan Jun, were quite surprised by Aston Villa's amazing maneuver.

Not far away, in front of the Arsenal bench, the professor frowned sharply as he watched Su Hao being so quickly marked out by Aston Villa players and losing possession.

Meanwhile, on the field at the same time.

After making the interception, Aston Villa immediately launched a full-scale attack towards Arsenal's backfield.

Ashley Westwood delivered a long pass to Gabriel Agbonlahor on the wing.

The incredibly fast Gabriel Agbonlahor, after a few powerful sprints, quickly delivered a diagonal pass to Christian Benteke, who had already penetrated deep into Arsenal's defense.

Without making any adjustments, Christian Benteke got to the ball before Van Dijk could close in and unleashed a powerful shot.

Of course, such a hasty shot did not pose a threat to Szczesny.

The football soared high over the crossbar and flew directly into the stands.

Even so, the fact that Aston Villa took the first shot of the game was enough to make the more than 50,000 Arsenal fans in the stands gasp.

The first attack failed because Aston Villa's center-backs moved forward to defend.

Arsenal, naturally refusing to back down, launched a second attack down Aston Villa's midfield.

This time, Su Hao was no longer fighting alone; Kanter had joined him.

In Su Hao's view, with Kante's assistance and a 100% tacit understanding bonus, he could easily bypass Aston Villa's annoying pincer attack.

However.
Perhaps it was something Aston Villa's manager on the sidelines who specifically gave him instructions.

As soon as he crossed the halfway line, Philipp Senderos, who was about the same height as him and even had better balance, immediately clung to him.

In addition, they were surrounded by two other midfielders.

For the next 10 minutes, Su Hao failed to deliver even a single threatening pass to Lewandowski in the attacking third.

"Fuck!"

After being shut down for the third time by the combined defense of Philippe Senderos and Aston Villa, Su Hao couldn't help but swear.

of course!

After Su Hao was completely neutralized, Arsenal started to attack down the flanks directly.

If it were just Su Hao as the sole star player in the past, Arsenal might have actually suffered a shock defeat against Aston Villa in this match.

But Arsenal now...
Besides Su Hao, there's also that super winger on the left wing nicknamed "Angel."

With Aston Villa focusing all their defensive efforts on Su Hao, Di Maria naturally took over the responsibility of organizing the attack.

The 19th minute of the game.

It was Di Maria's agile breakthrough on the left wing that gave Arsenal their best attacking opportunity since the start of the game.

With a graceful left-right feint and a quick cut, Di Maria dribbled past two players and stormed into Aston Villa's penalty area.

Facing the relentless onslaught of Aston Villa center-back Ron Vlaar, Di Maria immediately executed a no-look pass, sending the ball to Lewandowski, who was making a run into the middle.

A powerful shot!
Lewandowski perfectly fooled the goalkeeper.

However, just as all the Arsenal fans were excitedly raising their hands to cheer for the team's first goal,

Aston Villa's left-back Ali Sissoko, however, made an extreme sliding tackle on the goal line to clear the ball out of bounds.

And just like that, Arsenal's sure goal was miraculously saved by Ali Sissoko.

29th minute of the match!

After playing down the left flank for a while, Arsenal started frequently sending the ball down the right flank again.

Similarly, after Su Hao drew away Aston Villa's main defensive pressure, Sanchez easily found an opportunity to cross from the right wing.

just
Despite not having the physical advantage, Lewandowski clearly anticipated the ball's trajectory, but Aston Villa's center-back forcefully pushed him aside and cleared the ball out of the penalty area.

"Today's match is a bit strange!"

"Aston Villa's defense is indeed... quite sophisticated!"

"Yes, Teacher Huang, after observing for this period of time, I have found that Lambert has definitely done his homework."

"So far this season, 84.3% of Arsenal's goals have been initiated by Su Hao from the middle. Lambert probably focused all his defensive pressure on Su Hao because of this exaggerated proportion. And a crucial point is that Lambert assigned Senderos, whose physical strength and defensive experience are absolutely top-notch, to closely mark Su Hao, along with the coordinated zonal marking of the two holding midfielders. This is what has prevented Arsenal from scoring so far!"

"84.3%?"

"Yes, besides the fact that 84.3% of the goals scored were scored by Su Hao, there's also 28.7% of Arsenal's total tackles."

"Especially when Kanté and Suho were encircling a single area."

Hearing that Zhan Jun next to him could even pronounce the decimal point so clearly, Lao Huang immediately flipped through the data that the CTV staff had given him.

However, after searching several times, Lao Huang still couldn't find any 84.3.

Got it!
Turning my head, I saw Zhan Jun rattling off all sorts of data.

Old Huang could only sigh helplessly.

Damn, are commentators starting to get paid these days?

After several unsuccessful long passes, Di Maria made several very sharp breakthroughs, prompting Aston Villa to immediately adjust their strategy, with two players on the flanks directly double-teaming him.

This is a defensive mode that almost completely abandons offense.

Arsenal's hopes of finishing the game in their usual forty-five minutes were completely dashed!

Even after the referee blew the whistle to end the halftime break, the score on the big screen was still hard for many Arsenal fans to believe: 0-0!

"Lads, you did it! We've contained Arsenal's attack!"

"continue!"

"Keep gritting your teeth and persevering!"

Inside the away team's locker room.

Seeing that his specially developed tactics had really worked wonders, Lambert excitedly patted each of his teammates on the shoulder.

Meanwhile, in the home team's locker room not far away.

The professor frowned, still unable to come up with a good solution.

This presents a global challenge for all buses.

The professor could only pin his hopes on his students suddenly having a flash of brilliance on the court.
"Boss! Should I just go to the side lane?"

The professor was still thinking about how to adjust the tactics.

But Su Hao, who was sitting opposite the professor, suddenly said this.

Su Hao went to the side road?
Well, although Su Hao, who plays on the wing, did have some shining moments this season.

However, the problem is that after the opponents got used to Su Hao's ability to break through the opponent's defense with unlimited passing speed while moving to the wing, the tactic of Su Hao moving to the wing has not been used by the coach for a long time.

After all, whether he pulls the ball to the flanks or not, as long as the other positions are locked down, Su Hao still needs a receiving point if he wants to pass the ball out, right?
However, although I felt it was meaningless, since it was my own Su Haohao who said it.

The professor nodded without much hesitation.

"Angel, you go to the middle, and let Su go to the left!"

With the idea of ​​trying anything as a last resort, the professor made a decision directly.

Upon hearing the professor's arrangement, Di Maria naturally nodded in agreement.

"Ding dong!"

"New location main quest triggered!"

"New position - winger (wide midfielder)"

"Mission objective: Assist teammates to score by crossing from the wing or cut inside to break through and score!"

"Mission Reward: A Vanguard Skill Chest will be awarded based on the host's mission completion rate!"

"Mission time limit: 45 minutes!"

Inside the locker room!

The professor patiently assigned tasks to the other team members.

Su Hao was stunned after the system's notification sound.

WTF?

New location main quest?
And he's a winger?

According to the mission description, does this mean that I will have missions to get treasure chests whenever I play a new position?

This time, the wingers will have a skill chest.
What if I play center next time?
