Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 159 Gun fans, can you still hold on?
"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"

"Zhuang Dian'er Tai!"

"This is a live broadcast of the second round of the 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals!"

"Arsenal away vs. Juventus!"

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

"The referee is checking his watch too!"

"Beep!!!"

"With the referee's whistle!"

"The competition has officially begun!"

"First, let's look at the starting lineups for both sides!"

"Arsenal's starting goalkeeper, wearing the traditional red and white jersey and attacking from left to right: Szczesny!"

"."

"Unlike the last match, our player Su Hao, who made a quick comeback, appeared in the defensive midfield position!"

Arsenal have also returned to their most familiar 4-2-1-3 formation!

"On the other side, Juventus' starting goalkeeper, wearing the traditional black and white jersey, is attacking from right to left: Buffon!"

"Defenders: Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Barzagli, Giorgio Chiellini"

"The midfield position remains the same: right wing-back - Stefano Sturaro, the three in the middle - Pirlo, Pogba, Vidal, and left wing-back - Cuadrado."

"Two strikers: Carlos Tevez and Álvaro Morata!"

"After a pressure-free victory, Allegri made no adjustments and stuck with the 3-5-2 formation that Juventus has been using all season!"

"First and foremost, Juventus has possession of the ball!"

Juventus Stadium.

After the referee blew the whistle, Juventus, who had a two-goal lead, did not rush forward.

Morata flicked the ball behind him, and then Juventus began to patiently pass it around.

Moreover, the enormous Pogba tifo still stands in the North Stand.

Therefore, as soon as the ball reaches Pogba's feet, the more than 50,000 Juventus fans in the stadium will immediately erupt in explosive cheers for their new favorite.

"Juventus played with great patience!"

"Let's give the ball to Pirlo!"

"With a right foot, Lewandowski launched a counter-attack!"

On the field, just as Huang Jianxiang described.

After passing the ball around with extreme patience, Juventus once again passed it to their attacking linchpin, Pirlo.

Because the professor had previously focused on marking Lewandowski, regardless of whether he scores in this match, his primary task is to put pressure on Pirlo, so that Pirlo can no longer cross the ball as easily as he did in the last match.

Lewandowski was very obedient, but unfortunately, despite his tall stature, he wasn't good at defense. After rushing towards Pirlo, he simply feinted left and cut to the right, and Pirlo left him behind.

Furthermore, long before Pirlo received the ball, Juventus' entire formation had already pushed past Arsenal's half.

So, it's all about dribbling past your opponent and then kicking the ball!
Pirlo launched Juventus' aerial attack in one fell swoop, which had left Arsenal helpless throughout the previous match!
"Still the same old tactics!"

"Like a high ball!"

"Stefano Sturaro on the right wing!"

"Smoothly unload the football!"

"Morata and Tevez in the middle lane have started making runs!"

"Pogba is here too!"

On the field!
Stefano Sturaro, who had just received the ball, immediately passed it across to his teammate who was rushing over to receive it after seeing Pogba charging towards him.

Meanwhile, in the stands at the same time!

Seeing Pogba receive the ball again, the more than 50,000 Juventus fans naturally roared excitedly once more.

Especially after seeing the Chinese player, who was described by the media as having been forced to play despite receiving pain relief, stride over to the court.

Countless Juventus fans are already looking forward to seeing their Pogba thrashing Suarez!

It wasn't just Juventus fans; even Juventus coach Allegri, who was on the bench, shared the same thought.

As a veteran manager, he is very clear about Pogba's talent.

Moreover, he has seen far too many players who make this so-called forced comeback.

These kinds of players usually only have one outcome!
That would mean not helping the team at all and ruining yourself in the process.

Allegri was looking forward to his Paulinho making a spectacular dribble past Su Hao, which would completely boost Juventus' morale.

Not far away, in front of the Arsenal bench, the professor prayed with a solemn expression that nothing would happen to his son, Suarez.

Yes, the professor only wanted Su Hao to play the entire game smoothly.

With his injury treated and numb, Su Hao's individual abilities were definitely significantly reduced.

The feet were unable to generate power, and the tactical movements were severely distorted.

In this situation, the possibility of him launching a fierce counter-pressing attack as usual and helping Arsenal to explode at the start of the game is basically nonexistent.

"Boss!"

The professor looked worriedly at Sue on the field, while Steven, his palms sweating, gripped the professor's arm.

"It's coming!"

"Pogba vs. Su Hao!"

"Pogba's performance in the last match was simply amazing!"

"Su Hao is still injured, so..."

Everyone knew that the injured Su Hao would be unable to contain Paul Pogba, who had already received the ball with his right foot and was about to force his way past Su Hao.

Even Lao Huang in the commentary booth started explaining things to Su Hao in advance.

However.
Amidst the deafening roars from the Juventus Stadium.

Let everyone!

A scene that no Juventus fan, or even Arsenal fan, could have imagined has unfolded.

Just as Paul Pogba pressed his strong body against Su Hao and was about to make a dramatic turn,

Su Hao, who had just been watching Pogba head-on, managed to pull himself back within a mere 0.5 seconds.

Pogba is really going all out this time!
But when Su Hao pulled, he suddenly lost his footing.

So, in an instant, Pogba's towering 1.92-meter frame collapsed to the ground.

Pogba lay on the grass, looking completely bewildered.

Su Hao, who had almost effortlessly fooled Pogba with his experience, deftly tapped the ball with his right foot.

Arsenal launched a counter-attack directly from the center line.

Left flank!

Walcott began his explosive run.

Di Maria, the angel in the middle lane, also kicked the grass hard.

Right flank!

Even though Sanchez was separated from Su Hao by the entire Juventus backline, Sanchez, who had complete faith in Su Hao, still strode towards the heart of Juventus' backfield.

In the stands.

Before they knew it, tears welled up in the eyes of more than three thousand Arsenal fans.

In the past ten days or so, when countless people were pessimistic about their prospects, they were truly at a loss.

They genuinely believe that Arsenal might experience a defensive collapse, just like before.

Many even believe that Arsenal will not be able to overcome Juventus.

but!

Everything started to change after Suarez returned to the field.

"su!"

"Clap clap clap!"

"Su!"

"Clap clap clap!!!"

On the court, Su Hao was running wildly with his long legs.

Meanwhile, the more than three thousand Arsenal die-hards in the stands were hysterically roaring for their Suarez!

Football is always the most passionate and exhilarating sport.

When the dark-haired man wearing the number 11 jersey stood on the court.

Even Wenger began to tremble without realizing it.

"Stop him!"

Arsenal's momentum has picked up. Wenger knows this very well, and so does Juventus manager Allegri, who is not far away.

This is just the beginning!

If that Chinese player really helps Arsenal score a goal, then this match will be in real danger.

Therefore, Allegri, trembling, gave the order to his disciple.

Actually, Allegri didn't even need to shout.

Even before Su Hao had strode across the center circle, Stefano Sturaro and Pirlo had already rushed towards him without hesitation.

Stefano Sturaro was the first to approach, trying to slow down Su Hao, while Pirlo followed closely behind, keeping a close eye on Su Hao's feet, ready to counter-steal.

A very standard Italian chain defense.

Allegri breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Pirlo and Stefano Sturaro form a double defensive partnership.

With these two players on the field, at least Arsenal's counterattacks were slowed down.

just
What no one knew was that this 1.9-meter-tall Chinese player not only possessed an explosive physique, but also had the top-notch rhythm changes of a player named Luis Figo.

Facing Stefano Sturaro, who rushed towards them immediately.

Su Hao simply used his left foot to gently move the ball slightly to the right while moving at high speed.

This was just enough to avoid Stefano Sturaro's outstretched left foot.

Immediately afterwards, Su Hao used his right foot to forcefully push the ball to the left in the blink of an eye.

Fried meatballs?

Or are they deep-fried meatballs at such a high speed?
Stefano Sturaro's eyes widened, and Pirlo, who was also instantly beaten by Su Hao, wore an incredulous expression.

This kind of dribbling, this kind of dribbling purely through rhythm and powerful physical attributes.
At that moment, Pirlo suddenly thought of that Brazilian striker who amazed the world as an alien!

And this was during his peak period.
"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"Su Hao has gone!"

"An absolutely textbook example of a fried meatball!"

"Su Hao has bypassed Stefano Sturaro and Pirlo!"

"It's empty!"

"Juventus' midfield is completely empty!"

"Di Maria is here!"

"Walcott on the left!"

"Lewandowski at the very front!"

"And Sanchez on the far right!"

"Arsenal 5 against 3!!!"

"5 against 3!"

A truly exhilarating dribble.

Old Huang, who was in the commentary booth, also stood up excitedly again.

"Andrea Barzagli is coming up!"

"No sticky balls!"

"Su Hao passed the ball diagonally!"

"DiMaria!"

"Left foot lead!"

"Su Hao, keep pushing forward!"

"It's over!!!"

"Di Maria pushed her right foot forward!"

"Su Hao!!!"

"Su Hao!!!"

"On the edge of the penalty area!"

"Without waiting for Giorgio Chiellini to arrive!"

"A powerful right-footed shot!!!"

Juventus Stadium.

The moment Su Hao slammed the ball out with a loud bang.

Paul Pogba, who had just been outmaneuvered by Su Haotian in midfield, had just gotten up and started chasing back!
The more than 50,000 Juventus fans who had just been chanting wildly suddenly fell silent.

Everyone!

All eyes were now focused on the intense white light that Su Hao unleashed with his right foot.

Of course, in that instant.

Many Juventus fans are still praying that their young Buffon can make a diving save to save the team, just like he did many years ago.

just
Such close range, such an exaggerated burst of fire.

No miracle occurred.

Su Hao's powerful right-footed shot sailed effortlessly over Buffon's outstretched arms as he began his run, slamming into the net.

"Beep!!!"

2 minutes and 18 seconds into the game!
The referee blew his whistle and pointed to the center circle with both hands to indicate that the goal was valid.

"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"pretty!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"2 minutes and 18 seconds into the game!"

"Su Hao has scored!"

"Su Hao!"

"1:0!"

"A dream start, just like always, in Su Hao's style!"

"After undergoing a nerve-wracking comeback, he risked everything!"

"Despite everyone's pessimism!"

"Under the disdain of more than 50,000 Juventus fans!"

"It only took less than three minutes!"

"Su Hao has shown the world who the true future number one midfielder is!"

"A masterful feint in midfield, using minimal force to overcome maximum effect!"

"Juventus's attacking 'oil ball' is an exaggerated move that beats two players in a row!"

"And the final shot was a super explosive burst that sent everyone's adrenaline soaring!"

"Su Hao!"

"At the Juventus Stadium!"

"Su Hao staged a triumphant return that brought tears to the eyes of all Arsenal fans!"

"Gunslinger fans, can you handle this? How can you not be moved to tears!"
-
[Damn, that's awesome! Su Hao is awesome! That goal was so damn satisfying, damn, Su Hao is awesome!]
-
These past few days, all of Europe has been laughing at us Arsenal, saying we're destined to collapse in the final stretch and be a failure. Look at us now!
-
[Waaaaah, is this some kind of movie scene with Su Hao? He got injections and then came back to play for the team without hesitation, and most importantly, he scored this goal! This plot is fucking so exciting!]
-
[Wasn't Paul Pogba still wearing his Lyon jersey from the last match? His tifo is still up there, haha, he's probably kicking himself right now!]
-
[Su Hao is so steady on the field! That chair-pulling move just now, you can't do that without at least ten years of experience!]

Su Hao's goal ignited the passion of the more than 3,000 Arsenal die-hard fans in the stands.

On the commentary desk, Lao Huang had already reached a state of near-shock with his signature hysterical celebration and roar.

As for the stadium at the same time!

When the football went into the net.

Su Hao did not run like Pogba.

He didn't write anything like "MY name is Su Hao" on the bottom of his jersey.

He simply turned and kissed the away fans' section with two fingers, then waved.

but!

Even if this is just a gesture that can hardly be called a celebration.

This caused even the three thousand Arsenal die-hards, including the professor and Steven in front of the bench, to completely lose their composure!

My mind is filled with images of Su Hao gritting his teeth and getting injections before the match.

this moment!
Countless people were already shedding tears uncontrollably from their eyes!
