Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 165 (Daily Life - Do Not Subscribe If You Don't Like It) Cristiano Ronaldo is Here, Witnessing the Forefront of History!
2015 5 Month 2 Day.

There are less than four days left until the first round of the Champions League semi-finals officially kicks off.

And at ten o'clock that morning.

The private plane carrying all of Real Madrid's star players finally landed slowly on the runway of London International Airport amidst the anticipation of countless Real Madrid fans and reporters on site.

Exit port.

Ancelotti appeared at the forefront of the glamorous team in his signature tracksuit.

Behind him stands the world-class superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, the object of everyone's attention!

"Ronaldo!!"

"Roar!!!"

Unsurprisingly, the moment Ronaldo appeared, countless fans waiting for him at the airport erupted in screams.

As usual, Ronaldo took off his cool sunglasses and walked up to the fans, signing autographs for them.

After finishing his interaction with the fans, Ronaldo took the initiative to walk up to the reporters and give an interview.

Because his words had been misinterpreted by many media outlets, Ronaldo took this opportunity to explain that he did not verbally insult Su Hao as the media reported.

Logically speaking, given Cristiano Ronaldo's personality of believing he's number one and second to none, he wouldn't be so entangled with the media trying to explain anything.

But the problem is that Su Hao is different from others!

After all, Su Hao is now considered his fellow disciple, and Mendes has told him more than once that Su Hao is his fan!

Cough!

As his senior and Mendes's idol, he always made Su Hao feel like a petty person.
And so, Ronaldo explained to the reporters, while Real Madrid coach Ancelotti, not far away, smiled and said he was very happy to be in London.

As for the reason, it's naturally because An Pangpang has spent a lot of wonderful time in London.

Ancelotti even told reporters that after the match, he might meet up with his old friend Wenger for a few more drinks.

Both of the heads of the household have so clearly expressed their goodwill.

Naturally, the media's hopes of hyping up a heated pre-match war of words between Real Madrid and Arsenal were completely dashed.

Over the next three days!
Real Madrid spent three peaceful days training as planned, while Arsenal continued to practice the tactics devised by the manager to counter Real Madrid's BBC trio at their own club.

Yes!

The BBC's strength is already recognized worldwide.

Although the professor believes that Arsenal's defense is no longer a major problem, he still devised three different defensive tactics to target Van Dijk's backline and Kanté and Tagore's midfield.

In the professor's words, for these two Champions League matches, he needs Su Hao to completely focus all his energy on the attack!
Even though Arsenal's defense was breached by Real Madrid, Su Hao still chose to charge forward rather than retreat.

October 2015, 5!
The Champions League semi-finals have officially begun.

On this day, starting at nine o'clock in the morning, large numbers of red Arsenal fans appeared on the streets of London.

Although London is Arsenal's home city, the sheer number of Arsenal fans appearing in a city like London, where so many teams are based, has piqued the curiosity of the media.

It was only after a thorough investigation by major media outlets that this was discovered.

It is indeed red!
However, among all the red fans that everyone thought belonged to Arsenal, more than 70% were from China or of Chinese descent.

Their logo is also very obvious: all of them wear jerseys with only one number!
11th -- Suhao!

After a more detailed investigation, the media discovered something that they simply couldn't understand.

That is.
These Chinese fans wearing the number 11 Su Hao jersey are still waving exaggerated UEFA Champions League signs everywhere, hoping to get a ticket to the Emirates Stadium.

Even the fourth-tier tickets, which originally cost only 70 euros, suddenly skyrocketed to an outrageous price of 800 euros after countless Chinese fans flocked to the stadium.

Moreover, even at this price, tickets are still extremely difficult to obtain.

Of course, the best-positioned, first-tier option that originally cost 390 euros is now over 3000 euros.

It was only at this point that these British media outlets, who had previously been arrogant and self-righteous as the center of the world, realized the exaggerated wealth and extravagant spending of the Chinese.

Hello everyone! I'm Su Hao!

Chinese football fans are still desperately searching for an opportunity to enter the stadium.

At the same time, Su Hao had already begun his routine Champions League preview interview segment on CTV5.

Old Huang stood in front of Su Hao with the microphone in hand. After Su Hao greeted the domestic fans, Old Huang began to speak based on the questions he had discussed with Su Hao beforehand!

"Su Hao, there are less than eight hours until the third match against Real Madrid. After losing last season, do you feel confident that you can lead Arsenal to defeat them this season?"

"As we all know, Real Madrid is currently the oldest and most prestigious top-tier football club in the world."
-
[Haha, I've already set my alarm for 3 AM tonight, guys, the moment to witness history is about to arrive!]
-
Although I think Real Madrid is much stronger than Arsenal on paper, with Su Hao in the squad, I have a feeling it's going to be another big win tonight. I need to go to the lottery shop and buy some more tickets!
-
[Big ball! It has to be big ball! I've even mortgaged my car; whether I can turn it into a house tonight depends on Su Hao!]
-
[Beat Real Madrid, take down Ronaldo in the top scorer rankings, and then there's the Asian Cup in June. Once we get past these hurdles, a historic moment that Chinese football fans will never forget is about to arrive!]
-
[If he can score four goals against Barcelona, ​​let Su Hao score five tonight! Five goals against Real Madrid, and he'll lock in a ticket to the final! Haha, if he really makes it to the final, I'll take out a loan to go cheer him on at the final!]
-
"Come on, a single card from the semifinals is selling for tens of thousands of yuan. Add in food, drinks, and airfare, and I'm worried your house won't be able to keep up!"

The interview lasted about ten minutes and was conducted live.

However, what surprised even the CTV5 staff was that, in addition to breaking CTV5's historical record for live television viewership, the live broadcast ratings also exceeded CTV5's previous record.

Even the number of viewers in CTV5's online live broadcast room surged to an astonishing 800,000 the moment Su Hao appeared.

Moreover, this number is increasing exponentially, frame by frame, at a rate of geometric growth!

With such phenomenal viewership, CTV5's advertising revenue is naturally an astonishing figure.

Of course, as is customary, Su Hao would receive at least 200 million RMB after this ten-minute interview.

An interview conducted according to a script, a win-win-win situation for Su Hao, CTV5, and fans who wanted to see Su Hao's condition before the official start of the Champions League match.

"Haha, Xiao Hao, you absolutely have to score a lot of goals today! At least you should win the top scorer award!"

After the interview, Huang Jianxiang put his arm around Su Hao familiarly and said with a smile.

"Brother Jianxiang, it's not that easy. You know how bad Real Madrid's defense is. They'd be lucky to score even one goal, let alone more!"

"Tch! You're just not treating Barcelona like human beings. They can score four goals at Camp Nou, so why can't they do it against Real Madrid?"

"Haha, bro, don't bring that up. Even now, quite a few Messi fans are still sending me private messages on Weibo to curse at me!"

"Hey! You know what kind of quality and situation our domestic fan groups are. Putting aside everything else, just look at the way Messi and Ronaldo's fans are talking to each other, it's just awful!"

"Alright, I won't bother you anymore. I don't care about anything else today, but you have to save my match jersey. If you end up swapping with Ronaldo, I might accept Ronaldo's instead!"

Old Huang left with the film crew. Su Hao also returned to his room.

As is Arsenal’s usual practice, the team typically spends time preparing tactics and activating their bodies before the match officially begins, usually between 11:00 and 12:30.

Tactical preparation involved the professor pulling the entire team into the tactics room again to briefly reiterate the points that needed to be paid attention to during the evening's game.

And this process...

Unsurprisingly, the name the professor called out most often was Su Hao.

When passing the ball around in the backfield, you must always keep Su Hao in your sight!
It's like when you're defending, you can't forget to use your peripheral vision to check Su Hao's running route to ensure that you can pass the ball to Su Hao as soon as you make a steal!

In short, just as the professor has been emphasizing during these ten days of intensive training.

No matter what position you are in, whether you are attacking or defending, your subconscious target and the route of your pass must be Su Hao!
After tactical preparations and physical activation are done, it's time for a core meal and mandatory rest.

The pre-match lunch is the most important part of the day.

According to the nutritionist's recipes, the entire team, whether substitutes or starters, must consume high carbohydrates, moderate protein, low fat, and low fiber to ensure that the players have no problem with energy reserves during the game.

By the time all the miscellaneous tasks were completed, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

At this time, it was time for the entire Arsenal team to head to the stadium!
"Hey! Su! Do you think we can beat Real Madrid?"

On the bus, Su Hao was wearing headphones and closing his eyes to adjust his physical state when Xiao Kankan, with his big black eyes, leaned close to Su Hao and asked a question.

"I should be able to! Don't think of them as too scary!"

"But Suarez, I'm not afraid of Messi, but Ronaldo... I really don't know if I can stop him!"

Tsk tsk tsk!
Upon hearing Kankan say this in a serious tone, Su Hao subconsciously gave Kante the middle finger.

What does it mean that Messi isn't afraid, but he's afraid of Ronaldo?
If Messi's fans find out about this, Kante will definitely face a barrage of online abuse.

However, despite his complaints, Su Hao did genuinely consider Kant's concerns.

Yes!

Kante isn't afraid of Messi because Kante's agility and mobility are not much different from Messi's, plus Kante's tireless stamina, so he can follow Messi around the entire field without any problems.

But Cristiano Ronaldo is different!

Nowadays, Ronaldo is a pure goal-scoring machine.

He doesn't need any fancy maneuvering.

If he gets even a one-second chance, he can use countless methods to put the ball into the opponent's goal!
Kant didn't get any useful answers from Su Hao.

From that moment on, the bus fell into a suffocating silence.

All the Arsenal players just closed their eyes, seemingly trying to adjust their mindset or gather their emotions.

Especially Di Maria, who was sitting in front of Su Hao.

In fact, Su Hao had already noticed Di Maria's unusual behavior when the training camp started.

As a former Real Madrid player.

Di Maria's feelings right now are truly extremely complicated.

Despite his initial anticipation of revenge after being abandoned, Di Maria suddenly found himself at a loss when the moment actually arrived.

He was even wondering if he should celebrate if he scored a goal.
"Su Hao!"

"Su Hao!"

"Su Hao!!"

The journey from the training base to the Emirates Stadium is not far.

Soon, the bus drove into the Emirates Stadium plaza, which was already covered in countless red decorations.

As always, wherever the team bus appeared, countless fans chanted Su Hao's name.

It was these shouts that made Su Hao open his eyes, and also made the other Arsenal players on the bus turn their heads to look at the sea of ​​fans.

Among those people, some were holding up posters of Su Hao.

Some people were also holding up photos of Wenger!
There were even quite a few Arsenal die-hards holding up posters of Arsenal's historical stars!

It's like a chronicle!

These young or new Arsenal players saw Bergkamp turn around!

We also witnessed Henry's dashing and heroic figure, leaving everyone else in the dust!

I also caught a freeze-frame of Robin van Persie's powerful volley, who has since left the country!

And before you know it!

As the bus traveled along, the complex emotions, even the pre-match tension and anxiety, dissipated amidst the posters that documented Arsenal's history.

"Hey! Do you think someone will be holding up a team photo of us lifting the Champions League trophy next season?!"

In a silent atmosphere.

Kanté, who is usually not very talkative, suddenly blurted out this sentence.

"Of course! Absolutely!"

The bus finally passed through the crowded square and entered the underground passage.

And then the headlights of the red bus automatically turned on!

The Arsenal players, who had previously kept their eyes closed and had various expressions, all became determined.

"Get off the bus! It's time to take down those Real Madrid guys!"

Stop the car!

Su Hao was the first to stand up and shout this to the whole team.

The first row of the bus at the same time.

The professor, who hadn't reacted since getting on the bus, smiled with his back to everyone, then stood up, straightened his sharp suit, and strode towards the pre-match press conference room, which he had walked through countless times!
