Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 158 A national tragedy, Arsenal's glory, playing with pain-relieving injections?

Arsenal's midfield collapse casts doubt on their Champions League qualification hopes?

"I AM REAL – Paul Pogba helps Juventus defeat the Champions League favorites 2-0!"

"Arsenal's Chinese stands become a backdrop, a return to last season!"

Arsenal's chances of advancing in the Champions League quarter-finals are slim after a home defeat?

Wenger's dejected figure: Will Arsenal repeat their mistakes?

One defeat has prompted the media across Europe to begin their favorite activity of the year – predicting Arsenal's downfall.

The media frenzy and the team's defeat!
Arsenal, who had been on a winning streak since the beginning of the season, have finally entered the darkest period of their season.

Fans were already fantasizing about how they would hold the grandest celebration in all of England after winning the treble.

But the result?
Before they even faced Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​Juventus stood in their way.

A score of 0-2, especially with two away goals, feels like a death sentence for Arsenal.

after all
They are facing the undisputed most defensively stable team in world football right now!

No sleep for one night.

The professor, who had stayed up all night in his office, called his team doctor at eight o'clock the next morning.

Without Su Hao connecting the mid lane, the professor was truly at a loss.

Yes, after getting used to Su Hao's rhythm in the team, not only him, but even the Arsenal players are somewhat unsure how to restore their previous offensive or defensive rhythm.

"Boss! It's only been two weeks! Su Su's injuries won't be fully healed in a week, unless..."

The professor hadn't really expected anything from that question.

Unexpectedly, his own team doctor, John, gave him a lifeline.
"Unless what?"

"Boss! Unless it's a painkiller injection, but you know how much damage painkillers can cause to a player's future health, and even with an injection, I think..."

"ok, I get it!"

A nerve block injection?
I originally thought John had some good ideas.
The result was actually a nerve block injection?

How could Wenger possibly do such a thing?
For Wenger, Suho's place in his heart is definitely more important than a Champions League title.

after all!

18-year-old Suarez is the cornerstone of Arsenal's future for at least the next decade.

However, John's phone call wasn't entirely useless.

At least after that phone call, the professor was completely energized.

Since Su has no chance of returning, he must rely on himself to accomplish this seemingly impossible miracle.

After taking a few deep breaths, the professor got up and went into the washroom.

After tidying up his messy hair and brushing his teeth, the professor called Steven to summon the entire coaching staff to his office.

Pull over the tactics board!
The professor began to study how he could break the deadlock given the current lineup!

Yes, the professor no longer cared about the 33rd round of the league, which had only six days left.

Right now, he only has one thought in his mind.

That's how they pulled off a stunning comeback against Juventus!

"Huh? That's strange!"

The professor began to work hard and strive for improvement.

Meanwhile, in Su Hao's mansion on the other side!
Mendes and Hunter, the head of his personal medical team, were puzzled and exclaimed "Huh?" after a series of examinations.

"What's going on, Hunter?"

As soon as Hunter said this, Mendes, who was standing next to him, immediately asked with concern.

"Jorge, this kid's physique is really something."

"Hunter, you damn thing, can't you just finish what you're saying in one sentence?!"

“Okay, Jorge, what I mean is, Sue’s body is really different from ordinary people, his recovery ability is amazing!”

"Hmm? Amazing recovery ability?"

“Yes! When we came last time, this guy’s ligament injury was quite serious. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least three or four weeks to start to improve. But the problem is, it’s only been two weeks, and we can’t see any damage to his ligaments anymore. If it weren’t for the bruises, I wouldn’t even have been able to tell that he had been injured before!”

As Cristiano Ronaldo's personal physician, Hunter's level in the sports world is self-evident.

Moreover, throughout his many years of practicing medicine, Hunter has never had the habit of joking.

He said everything was fine. Others might not know what was going on, but Mendes believed that everything was absolutely fine!
"Um, Mr. Hunter, do you mean I can get rid of my cane?"

Although he knew perfectly well why his foot was recovering more than half the time faster than others, Su Hao still asked Hunter with a puzzled look in order not to give himself away.

"Sure! Don't even mention throwing away your crutches, you can even do jogging now. If you continue at this rate of recovery, you'll definitely be able to play in a game in a week or ten days!"

Adjusting his glasses, Hunter, with his full beard, turned and said confidently.

"Haha, thank God! Su! In that case, you can definitely play in the next round of the Champions League. I think Wenger will jump for joy when he hears this news!"

Mendes was delighted to hear that Hunter was so certain that Su Hao could play in a week.

Although in the eyes of the world, if given the choice between Cristiano Ronaldo and Suarez, Mendes would undoubtedly choose Ronaldo without hesitation.

However, in reality, with Ronaldo already in his late twenties and approaching thirty, Mendes has begun to slowly consider his own future.

No football star in the world can stay popular until they are forty years old.

But Mendes can have the world's hottest football star for his entire life!
"Should I tell the boss?"

Mendes's reminder made Su Hao realize that he should have informed the professor in advance, otherwise the professor would definitely have been thinking about practicing all sorts of miscellaneous tactics during this period.

Thinking of this, Su Hao picked up the phone and dialed the number.

then
As luck would have it, Su Hao made the call shortly after the professor heard his team doctor mention administering a nerve block injection.

And so, a beautiful misunderstanding arose.

"No! I don't need you to do that. Focus on recovering. You have a long, long future ahead of you. I won't allow you to ruin your future for this one match!"

The professor on the other end of the phone thought Su Hao was going to get a pain-relieving injection before playing.

Moreover, when she got stubborn, she wouldn't listen to Su Hao's explanation at all.

"Boss! Mr. Hunter said that I really do have a better recovery ability than others."

"Sure! I'm serious, I won't allow you to do that!"

Wenger's stubbornness has kicked in, and everyone at Arsenal knows that no one can stop him.

After saying that, the professor hung up the phone.

"Dudududu!"

Inside the villa, he watched as the professor actually hung up on him.

Su Hao could only manage a wry smile, unsure of what to do next!

Should we rush to the club at this hour?
The professor would naturally believe that he had almost fully recovered.

However, Juventus will definitely receive the news as well.

or?

Suddenly, a thought struck Su Hao: since it was just restorative training anyway, he might as well secretly recover at home.

Should we sneak off to see the professor when the second round of the competition is almost over?

In that case, they might be able to pull off a dirty trick against Juventus.

that's it.

The professor stubbornly began rehearsing the hastily assembled trio of veterans Rosicky, Altat, and Di Maria.

Su Hao, who had basically recovered thanks to the restorative effects of the physical enhancement drugs, secretly began his training at home!

April 21st. Three days after Arsenal's defeat to Juventus.

The 33rd round of the league has begun.

Perhaps due to their previous defeat, Arsenal, who had been dominating the league, played their worst game of the season at Sunderland's Stadium of Light.

With the support of Giroud and several top substitutes.

Arsenal failed to make any progress during regular time.

Moreover, if it weren't for Szczesny's superb performance in the final moments, Arsenal might have suffered their first defeat of the season at the Stadium of Light!
0: 0!

After a draw, Arsenal's 13-point lead was reduced to 11 points by Mourinho, who had no other tasks to perform.

They almost capsized in the league and are still two away goals behind in the Champions League.

Unsurprisingly, when the entire Arsenal team departed for Turin, no one believed that this Arsenal could produce any miracles at the Old Lady's Juventus Stadium.

However.
What no one knew was that the professor actually knew that Su Hao was confirmed to play before the league started.

Yes!

Su Hao secretly confessed to the professor.

Furthermore, Su Hao also told the professor that he had secretly conducted a lot of ball training at home in the past few days in order to mislead Juventus.

Upon hearing this, the professor couldn't help but burst into tears.

There was no way around it. Although Su Hao claimed to have recovered, the professor knew very well that in such a short time, Su Hao must have...
4 month 22 day.

The entire Arsenal team, along with Suho in a suit, appeared at Turin International Airport.

Reporters photographed Su Hao with the team, and Su Hao's name was also on Arsenal's submitted roster.

However, at the airport, Su Hao's left foot looked so weak that he didn't dare to put any weight on it. Not only reporters, but even Allegri, who had been keeping a close eye on any news about Arsenal, didn't think Su Hao was in a good condition to play.

Arsenal's decision to include Su Hao might simply be a deceptive tactic.

That's what Allegri thought, and the professor laid the groundwork according to Allegri's plan!
"Su's injury is recovering well, and he will play in the match!"

At the airport, Wenger gave a media interview and said the following.

then
It was as if they were mocking the professor's clumsy maze.

Turin Sports somehow managed to obtain a copy of Su Hao's medical records from the hospital at the time and published them.

Grade 1 ligament injury is an injury that a human cannot fully recover from in three weeks.

As a result, the professor's claim that Su Hao would appear in the match was completely ridiculed by Juventus fans.

Two days passed just like that.

4 month 24 day.

The second round of the Champions League quarter-finals has finally arrived amidst the joyful anticipation of countless Juventus fans.

Perhaps it was to reward Paul Pogba for scoring the first goal for them in the previous round.

In the past few days, Juventus fans have created a giant tifo specifically for Pogba.

The tifo features the image of Pogba lifting his jersey at the Emirates Stadium.

Before the match, during an interview with the media, after hearing about the gifts that the fans had specially prepared for him, Pogba excitedly assured his supporters that he would do his best at the Juventus Stadium to help Juventus reach the Champions League semi-finals with their heads held high.

Pogba was very excited.

Juventus fans are also very excited!
As Tuttosport reported, Su Hao, whom Arsenal feared most, was just a figurehead in their reported starting lineup; Su Hao, who was still injured, did not appear in the starting lineup.

Fans were convinced that Juventus would once again defeat a helpless Arsenal at their home ground.

Similarly, Allegri, who has practiced a lot of defensive and counter-attacking tactics during this period, is basically certain that his team will not have any surprises today.

until
Pre-match press conference!
One hour before the start of the match.

Arsenal's original starting lineup, which they submitted well in advance, has changed!
Yes!

Just as the gentle and refined Wenger said, that Chinese Su actually made it into the starting lineup.

Upon receiving the newly revised roster, Allegri was immediately shocked and enraged.

damn it!
Allegri only then realized that he had been tricked by Wenger.

However, although Allegri was very angry, he wasn't too worried.

After all, Su Hao's injury is real. Now that Su Hao can start directly, the only possibility is that the guy went crazy and got injections that made him feel numb.

In this situation, even if he can play, how much of his personal ability can he retain?
Thinking of this, Allegri's anger at being tricked by Wenger immediately dissipated.

However, after the professor's actions, Allegri naturally abandoned his hypocritical mask.

At the pre-match press conference.

Allegri went straight for the professor.

"Shocking news!"

"I believe everyone already knows that Su is in the starting lineup."

"After Su's injury was confirmed, his return to the field in such a short time can only be explained by one thing!"

"For a young player who is only 18 years old, I think Mr. Wenger is well aware of how serious the impact of playing with pain-relieving injections will be on his future!"

"To ruin a young man's future for the sake of victory, Mr. Wenger certainly did."

With his hands shrugged, Allegri turned to look at Wenger, whose face had darkened.

"China's Su Shi makes a lightning-fast recovery? Will injections save Arsenal?"

Is Kaká's Path to Fall from Grace Repeated?

At the same time Allegri was openly criticizing the professor.

In a very short time, major media outlets also reported that Su Hao insisted on playing with pain-relieving injections for Arsenal.

And this news came out.

Chinese fans were naturally outraged immediately.
-
[Damn it, how many lifetimes have we waited for a talent like Su Hao? That bastard Wenger is going to ruin the hopes of us Chinese fans!]
-
[Damn Arsenal, this is utterly unethical! Giving them painkillers? For the sake of your Champions League title, you're stabbing all of us Chinese football fans in the heart with a knife!]
-
[It's over, Su Hao is finished. He played with painkillers, so his left foot is probably going to be completely fragile from now on. If there's a targeted foul, Su Hao will likely be off the court. He's so fragile. What kind of future does he have?!]
-
[Waaaah! Su Hao, this kid is too foolish. Arsenal lost, so what? We can just transfer to Real Madrid next year. Why did you have to get injections for no reason? You're betting your entire career on Arsenal, what are you thinking?]

Domestic fans are starting to turn against Arsenal and Wenger.

However, Arsenal fans across England are a different story!
-
[Fuck! Su is really... I cried. He once said that since he was very young, he had always wanted to wear an Arsenal jersey and fight for Arsenal, and now, Su has done it. For Arsenal, Su really did it!]
-
From this day forward, no one, regardless of who they are, is allowed to speak ill of Su. I, Old Jess, am saying this here and now: anyone who dares to speak ill of Su will be sent to meet their maker with my double-barreled shotgun!
-
I used to think Arsenal's greatest players were Bergkamp and Henry, but now I realize that Arsenal's greatest player to date is none other than Suarez!
-
[God bless! Even if we lose this game, I hope Su can stay healthy and play on the field again!]
-
[God bless you! Su! We still want to see you continue fighting for Arsenal while wearing an Arsenal jersey!]

Under a beautiful misunderstanding.

Even before Su Hao had played, he was already being hailed as a hero by all Arsenal fans.

Especially the moment when Su Hao, holding the ball boy's hand, entered the Juventus Stadium accompanied by the magnificent Champions League opening music.

"su!!!"

"Clap clap clap!"

“Su!!!!”

"Clap clap clap!"

"Su!!!"

"Clap clap clap!"

More than three thousand Arsenal die-hard fans who had traveled all the way from England, with tears in their eyes, roared the wildest they had ever heard, calling out Su Hao's name.

"Sigh! Although we really hope Su Hao can be in the starting lineup for today's game, as a Chinese person, I really..."

"The damage that injections can cause to football players is unimaginable. Leaving aside foreign stars, there is a good example right before our eyes: Dong Fangzhuo. Many people online are still talking about how Dong is lazy, doesn't like training, and partyes every night. But in reality, the main reason for Dong's sharp decline in form is that he had to take a lot of injections during his injury period in order to participate in the Olympics!"

"At that time, many people were thinking that if Dong hadn't been injured and hadn't had to take painkillers for the Olympics, would he have become a leading figure in Chinese football?"

Juventus Stadium!
Local time 8 p.m.

It was in this extremely strange state.

The referee blew the whistle to officially start the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals!
