Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 155 Arsenal's Shocking Devastation Arrives?
With his Champions League opponent confirmed, Su Hao took a nice shower and then logged into the system he hadn't used in a long time.

Over the past month, Su Hao has accumulated one attribute point and three more blind box draws. (Two hat-tricks with assists in the league)
Without much hesitation, after adding attribute points to the speed column, Su Hao's speed has now officially entered the level of 86, which is the entry-level winger level of a top team in the top five leagues.

Speed, passing, shooting, and Figo's rhythm mastery.

After this series of moves, Su Hao now truly feels that he is qualified to go head-to-head with those top-tier stars!
Having secured his attribute points, Su Hao happily entered the system shop.

Looking at the option of 3 glittering blind boxes, Su Hao first offered a small prayer, and then directly chose to open it.

"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations, host, you have drawn a green-quality item: Delay Potion!"

"PS: 1. After using this potion, any positive buffs the host gains during the match will automatically have their duration doubled."

"2. Drug use carries risks. After using this potion, the host will also encounter any penalty of 3 times the threshold in daily life!"

Um?
What the hell?

Seeing that the first green-quality item he drew was some kind of delay potion, Su Hao was full of questions.

That said, his system hasn't provided any buffs except for the luck bonus in the last round of last season.
Could it be that this thing is specifically designed to amplify the effects of items that boost luck?

After studying it carefully for a while, Su Hao finally put it into his inventory.

Delay?

With his explosive physique, he doesn't need any delay at all!
Since the first draw was useless, Su Hao could only place his hopes on the second draw.

After silently reciting the ancient incantation "Believe in Brother Chun and you will have eternal life," Su Hao pressed the activation button for the second time!
"Ding dong!"

"Congratulations, host, you have drawn a green quality item: Stamina Recovery Potion *1".

"P.S.: Green-quality stamina recovery potions can restore the host's stamina to full level after one hour (green-quality potions cannot be used in matches)!"

I'm crazy.
Su Hao was furious when he saw that he had drawn a stamina recovery potion that he had drawn before but hadn't used in his second draw.

This damn system is so awful.

I actually got the same item twice before!

After two consecutive failed attempts, Su Hao was starting to despair.

Without any expectations, Su Hao casually pressed a button, thinking he could just log out of the system and go to sleep.

However.
Just when Su Hao had given up hope, the previously calm system space suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light.

"Ding dong!"

"Ding Dong!!!"

Perhaps I drew something extraordinary this time, because the system notification sound, which was originally only once, rang twice in a row!
"Congratulations, host! You have drawn a legendary item: Victory Banner!"

"P.S.: 1. Football is never a one-man sport; even the king of football needs a die-hard teammate by his side."

"2. Consumable item. After use, it can temporarily increase the team's stamina by 15%, increase the overall team status by 15%, and allow the host to temporarily ignore the effects of injuries for 15 minutes!"

"3. Legendary consumable items are unique; please use them with caution, host!"

Inside the system, he saw that he had casually pulled out such an absolutely bug-level thing.

Su Hao was overjoyed in an instant.

What an artifact!
The team's physical fitness and overall condition will be temporarily increased by 15%.

It can even make you ignore injuries!

This thing is absolutely a team cheating artifact that can directly determine the outcome of a match!
However, while the item is good, it's unique, just like his mother's injury immunity card.

If this kind of item can be purchased repeatedly in the store
It seems like even a fantastical scenario like leading the Chinese team into the World Cup quarterfinals isn't impossible!
After completing the system-added points lottery, Su Hao naturally devoted all his energy back to daily training and league matches.

3 month 21 day.

The 29th round of the Premier League has officially kicked off.

Facing West Ham United, who are currently ranked 12th in the league.

The professor didn't dare to be careless and let Su Hao, Kanté, and other key players all start.

In the professor's opinion, although the process of this game might be a bit difficult, victory should be within reach.

However, to the surprise of all Arsenal fans, less than 15 minutes into the game...

Kante, Arsenal's defensive stalwart in midfield this season and who has played almost every match, suddenly clutched his right leg and collapsed onto the grass during an off-the-ball challenge.

Seeing Kanté like this, the professor's heart jumped into his throat.

"Team doctor! Quick! Go check on them!"

The professor shouted for the team doctor to come onto the field immediately, while Su Hao, who was not far from Kanté, had already rushed over when Kanté was acting strangely.

For football players, sometimes intense physical contact doesn't actually lead to serious injuries. On the contrary, injuries sustained during off-the-ball contact are often the kind that cause everyone great concern.
"Boss! You have a strained right thigh muscle. You'll need to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to determine the exact cause!"

Sure enough, after the team doctor did a quick check-up, the thing that gave the professor the biggest headache happened.

A thigh muscle strain takes at least three weeks to recover.

Three weeks!

While the league is irrelevant, it's clear that Kanté won't be able to make it to the Champions League quarter-finals in April.

Without Kanté
After thinking it over for a long time, the professor could only call out to Walcott.

Standing in front of the bench, he watched as the professor's gaze swept from left to right before finally calling out his own name.

The little tiger's previously worried eyes immediately revealed a hint of barely perceptible surprise.

"Boss!"

"You go to the left wing, Di Maria, you go to the middle wing."

Because Di Maria played in the center of Real Madrid's midfield last season and performed exceptionally well.

So the professor made a last-minute decision to have Angel and Su Hao team up as a double attacking midfielder in the middle.

Ta Zi Ge has officially started his solo defensive midfielder mode.

Kanté was taken to the hospital by ambulance.

The match continued.

Perhaps seeing Kante injured gave their team a sudden glimmer of hope for an upset.

In the subsequent matches, the Hammer Gang, who had completely abandoned offense and only focused on defense, began to repeatedly attempt counterattacks with a large number of troops deployed.

It was this somewhat whimsical idea that caused West Ham United's defense, which had initially given Su Hao some trouble, to suddenly become riddled with holes.

The 29th minute of the game.

It was Su Hao and Di Maria's well-coordinated two-on-two plays in the middle that allowed Su Hao to exploit a rare opening between West Ham United's two center-backs.

A superb long pass with the outside of his left foot!
Walcott, who came on as a substitute, broke through the West Ham's right flank and appeared inside the penalty area.

Without stopping the ball, Walcott deftly flicked it into the corner of the net with his left foot, facing the onrushing West Ham goalkeeper.

1: 0!

Arsenal have successfully changed the score.

And with the score changing.

West Ham United's defense is slowly heading towards the brink of collapse!

3: 0.

This is how the match ended.

Arsenal easily defeated West Ham to secure three points.

Chelsea, on the other side, did not falter either. After defeating Leicester City, the two teams remained in first and second place with a 15-point gap between them!

They won the game, but after the match, no one in the Arsenal team was thinking about celebrating.

After a brief post-match press conference, including Wenger, etc.

The entire Arsenal team rushed to the hospital immediately.

Once at the hospital, after completing all the necessary examinations, Kanté's injury report was released.

He suffered a moderate thigh muscle strain, and conservatively, he will be able to resume ball training at least four weeks later. If you want Kanté to play, it will be at least five weeks before he can return to competition.

5 weeks!
It's clear that Kanté will miss not only the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals, but also the second round.

Upon hearing this news, the professor returned bitterly to Arsenal's training ground.

As in previous years, the professor once again threw himself into the work of working overtime to complete the team.

After discussing it with the coaching staff countless times, the professor finally decided to follow the same structure as the game against the Hammers.

Su Hao and Di Maria formed a double attacking midfield pairing on the left and right, while Ta Zige played as a deep-lying midfielder.

Of course, this is during the offensive phase. If it is the defensive phase, Su Hao will immediately stand at the same level as Ta Zi Ge.

The original two attacking midfielders will be changed to two defensive midfielders when appropriate.

In the professor's view, this change is the only way to maintain Arsenal's attacking intensity without compromising their defense.

However, this method is not without its drawbacks.
Yes, that kind of kicking is just treating Su Hao like he's not even human.

2015 3 Month 26 Day.

Arsenal faced their first tough match of the season without Kante.

Round 30 of the league.

Arsenal faced a formidable Newcastle United side at St. James' Park.

Although Wilshere's injury prevented the revenge match that countless Newcastle United fans had been looking forward to from taking place.

However, with Kante, the midfield defensive linchpin, sidelined due to injury, many Newcastle United fans are still hoping that their team can upset Arsenal, the league giants who have not lost a game this season, at home!
Newcastle fans have high hopes.

But the ending was cruel.

Because the professor had already placed all the responsibility on Su Hao's shoulders, this game was played without Kanté.

Arsenal's defense not only avoided any disjointed mistakes, but also benefited from the presence of Arsenal's current captain, Su Hao, directing operations from the back.

Arsenal's defense was even more solid than before.

An absolutely impeccable defense, coupled with Walcott's frenzied desire to perform from the start of the game.

Less than 25 minutes.

Walcott received a superb lob pass from Su Hao and delivered the ball to Lewandowski, who then unleashed a powerful shot to change the score.

1: 0!

As they have done countless times before, Arsenal took the lead and firmly controlled the tempo of the game.

The 43th minute of the game.

As the first half was about to end.

Di Maria, temporarily designated as the attacking midfielder in his new position, lived up to expectations by delivering a low cross to Sanchez on the right wing.

He faced the ball, before the Newcastle United defenders could even get into position.

Sanchez then chipped the ball with his left foot, sending it into the Newcastle net behind Dutch goalkeeper Tim Krul for the second time.

2: 0!

Having established an advantage in the first half, Su Hao moved to the front under the professor's guidance at the start of the second half.

It was Su Hao's forward press that finally allowed Arsenal to begin their most familiar half-field attack and defense drills.

The 67th minute of the game.

Su Hao's dreamlike two-two pass with Di Maria allowed Di Maria to receive the ball in his most comfortable position.

A low, ground-based shot to meet the ball!

Di Maria successfully changed the score to 3-0!

When the whistle blew to confirm Di Maria's goal, fans at St. James' Park, which can hold more than 53,000, began to get up and leave the stadium.

Well, for those Newcastle fans who chose to leave early, their choice was absolutely right.

Because in the next twenty minutes.

Arsenal scored two more goals in the 75th and 86th minutes of the match.

5: 0!

Ultimately, this match, which many English media outlets predicted would be extremely difficult, turned out to be a resounding victory for Arsenal, as always.

It was this match that finally made countless English media outlets understand why this Arsenal team was so strong; it wasn't just because they had a world-class defensive midfielder like Kanté.

Arsenal's ability to so decisively defeat countless opponents actually relies on their number 11, Suarez, who can play as a target man, an organizer in the attacking third, and even a top-class pillar of the defense!
