Max-level burst damage at the start, the British Empire arrives!

Chapter 114 Can a bicycle kick even score a goal?

Arsenal's late slump in the Champions League group stage did not affect the team's morale.

On the contrary, even the rotation players now believe they are Champions League level.

Although they lost two games in a row, they showed great resilience.

If this lineup were to form its own team and compete in the Premier League, securing relegation survival early would be no problem at all, and they would have a good chance of making it into the top half of the table.

That's quite an achievement.

Looking across the Premier League, only the Manchester clubs, Arsenal, and Chelsea have a rotation squad that reaches this level.

Liverpool is actually not bad, but their starting lineup has fallen out of the top six. It would be a joke if their substitutes made it into the top ten.

Newcastle has a squad of one and a half, and teams like this usually collapse on all four fronts the following season once they qualify for the Champions League.

Unfortunately, the schedule is too tight, I don't have the ability!

As for Tottenham...

Without Bale, they are a completely different team.

Interestingly, there are five London teams in the Premier League this season.

Arsenal has a good relationship with all three teams in the Fulham area.

Even between their main rivals Chelsea, the two sets of fans can manage to get along reasonably well outside the stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur is the least popular with Arsenal fans.

At every home game, Arsenal fans start singing taunts against Tottenham as they line up to enter the stadium.

Before the match, Arsenal fans would set aside a specific time to sing songs about Tottenham.

The team mocks Tottenham when they win, and mocks Tottenham when they play poorly.

If the opponent plays poorly, Arsenal fans will mock them, saying they are not as good as Tottenham.

Tottenham probably treats Arsenal the same way, but unfortunately their league performance is not as good as Arsenal's. The most common chants are "Hate Arsenal" and "Get Arsenal out of North London."

The rotation of players gave the key players seven days of rest.

These seven days are incredibly precious for Arsenal.

Arsenal players have been working non-stop since the international break ended.

With ample recovery time, Sun Ke adjusted his training schedule back to 10 hours.

The intensity of the training stunned Henry; it was the first time in his life he had ever seen a player train like this.

Sun Ke discovered that 34-year-old Henry seemed to be no worse than Schamach.

While Henry's peak was as the "King of Highbury," Chamach's peak is right now—3 goals and 1 assist.

However, Henry has already fallen from his peak, and his current overall ability is probably not even as good as his 19-year-old self.

It's already quite remarkable that he can be on par with Schamach.

It's worth noting that there's the Africa Cup of Nations next month, and Chamakh will need to train with the Moroccan team.

Unfortunately, Africa can only host large-scale sporting events during the winter.

The host country, Gabon, experiences winter temperatures around 10 degrees Celsius, while summer temperatures can easily exceed 35 degrees Celsius.

35 degrees Celsius is still the surface temperature; it's not a big problem if the surface temperature exceeds 50 degrees Celsius at noon.

If you fall to the ground, you have to get up quickly, otherwise you'll get burned.

Africa is vast, and South Africa experiences winter from June to August, which is why they are able to host the World Cup.

Chamach's departure for the Africa Cup of Nations presents an opportunity for Henry to complete his short-term loan spell.

Henry himself was well aware of this, so he put a lot of effort into training during this period.

Wenger addressed this question specifically at the pre-match press conference before the game against Everton.

"Chamakh is going to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations, but I don't want to make any transfer deals in January. The team's squad is already very strong."

"But if a good player volunteers, I won't refuse."

"If there are no more injuries, there will be no more transfers. Even with the Africa Cup of Nations, we still have Walcott, Chamberlain, Arshavin, and Van Persie."

Because of Van Persie's phenomenal form this season, Chamach has had very few opportunities to play.

When asked if he planned to loan out Chamach, the professor shook his head: "There's the Africa Cup of Nations in January, and the players will be very tired when they return in February."

"They usually leave the team two weeks before the start of the tournament, and then the whole tournament lasts two and a half weeks. They come back and rest for another two weeks, which is almost seven weeks."

The schedule for the Africa Cup of Nations has become a major headache for all the head coaches.

For the Africa Cup of Nations, players disappear for two months at a time; who can stand that?

Therefore, many head coaches now prefer to recruit French players who are physically strong and athletic, as they offer similar quality and maintain consistent work schedules.

Arsenal currently only has three African players, but only Chamakh is participating in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Cameroon was eliminated by Senegal in the qualifiers, so Song didn't have to go.

Sun Ke estimated that the old man's lips would unconsciously curl up on the day Cameroon was eliminated.

The Ghanaian team is full of talent and doesn't think much of Frimpong, so even if this guy wanted to go, he couldn't.

......

12 month 10 day.

Arsenal hosted Everton at home.

Before the match, Sun Ke met with "Coffin Man" Joelly.

This guy is doing well at Everton; he was even on the bench for this game.

For a 29-year-old League One player, such a performance is truly remarkable.

Before the match, Moyes made it very clear that he would do everything he could to get points at the Emirates Stadium.

Everton are in tenth place in the Premier League with one game in hand.

For a club that spends almost no transfer fees, this achievement is nothing short of phenomenal.

Moyes won the Manager of the Season award three times thanks to his coaching abilities.

After Sir Alex Ferguson left, there was little controversy as to why he was "chosen one".

After the match began, Everton players faithfully executed their manager's tactical instructions and focused on playing a defensive counter-attacking game.

As the game progressed, Sun Ke realized that Moyes was still being modest.

Everton are a formidable team, with many excellent players.

Goalkeeper Howard, England center-back Jagielka, left-back Baines whom Manchester United has been trying to sign, Belgian midfielder Fellaini, former Real Madrid players Drenthe, Cahill, Saha, and Neville from the "Class of '92".

These players are a valuable asset that Moyes has accumulated over the years.

Surprisingly, Arsenal's relentless attack on the opponent hasn't yielded any results.

Everton also used Fellaini, a behemoth, to create threats for Arsenal on several occasions.

During halftime, Wenger mentioned a few points to note.

Arsenal played well in the first half, but they didn't create many opportunities.

Even Barcelona might not have a good solution against a team that relentlessly attacks in their own half.

Of the 38 matches played in a season, Barcelona usually loses about 10.

Losing two or three games, and the other games we couldn't win, was all because of parking the bus (a defensive tactic).

Moreover, in one of the games we lost, there might even be a game where the opponent successfully used a parked bus to steal our base and then held us there until the end of the game.

Getafe defeated Barcelona at home this season.

If even Barcelona, ​​known for its dismantled buses, is like this, other teams are probably no better.

After the start of the second half, Sun Ke began to frequently attempt long-range shots.

Even if there are people in front of you, you can still draw a shot without hesitation; a deflection might just result in a hit.

In the 55th minute, Sun Ke's long-range shot hit Fellaini's shoulder and almost bounced into the goal.

In the 62nd minute, Sun Ke fired two shots in quick succession in the penalty area, one hitting Jagielka in the chest and the other hitting Heitinga in the knee.

Heitinga is gone...

Moyes reluctantly substituted Joelly.

Unexpectedly, after "Coffin Guy" appeared, he acted like he was on medication, making a series of crucial saves.

"Damn, why does this guy also seem to have a system...?"

This time, Moyes specifically assigned Fellaini to defend Sun Ke one-on-one.

The Belgian midfielder is 1.95 meters tall, and with his afro, Sun Ke felt that his opponent was a head taller than him.

After seventy minutes, Everton players began to unconsciously push their formation forward.

After holding out for seventy minutes, they had adapted to Arsenal's attacking rhythm.

Subconsciously, they might think Arsenal is nothing special.

In reality, the risks have not decreased at all.

However, Everton players are really good at maintaining their lead; if they didn't have that ability, they wouldn't be able to stay in the top half of the standings year after year.

In the 75th minute, Everton nearly opened the scoring against Arsenal from a corner kick.

Fellaini headed the ball across to Cahill at the far post, but Cahill's header went just wide.

This shot gave Sun Ke a real scare; now every game is crucial to whether he can complete his mission.

In the 78th minute, Wenger made two substitutions in quick succession, replacing Arteta with Ramsey and then Sagna with Maicon.

As a team aiming for the championship, it's impossible to stop the offensive just because you're afraid of your opponent scoring.

Arsenal intensified their attack, while Everton substituted Cahill with Phil Neville and then moved Fellaini up front.

After Phil Neville came on, he threw the ball into the penalty area twice in a row, causing a lot of chaos for Arsenal.

Eighty-fifth minute.

Everton lofted the ball into the penalty area, and Szczesski punched it out of the box over Fellaini's head.

Song immediately passed the ball to Sun Ke.

Before Sun Ke could even receive the ball, Neville Jr. was already closing in.

The moment the other party got close, Sun Ke started to make her own plans.

Although this guy is the youngest of the six players who became famous in the "Class of '92".

But she's already 34 years old this year.

If two people are racing.

Is there any explanation?

Definitely!

Thinking of this, Sun Ke took the initiative to run towards the football.

Neville Jr. also joined in.

That's right!

next moment!

The moment Sun received the ball, he flicked it behind Neville with his heel, then turned and bypassed him from the opposite direction, rushing towards the ball.

The ball and the player have passed each other!

Neville, who was running forward, was caught off guard and hurriedly braked, trying to use his body to hook Sun Ke and turn around.

Having anticipated this, Sun Ke took a long detour to avoid being scratched by the other party.

Neville turned quickly and started slightly ahead.

But you can't deny getting old. Among professional athletes, 34 years old is definitely considered an old man.

Sun Ke shook off Neville and charged forward into the attacking third.

This caught the Everton players off guard; they didn't expect the experienced Neville to get past the young man without even a chance to foul him.

Sun Ke charged forward for more than ten meters before passing the ball to Maicon on the right flank when the strong and muscular Barkley caught up.

Facing Baines, whose physical abilities are mediocre, Maicon chose to dribble forward directly.

Baines came up and tried to engage in physical contact, but it had no effect on Maicon.

Maicon took another step forward and then passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area.

Walcott broke into the penalty area and passed the ball across to the middle, but it was touched by Howard who came out to challenge him.

The soccer ball bounced off Howard's arm and flew towards the far post.

On the left side of the goal, Van Persie held off Joelly at the edge of the six-yard box, took a step to the side, and shot from a tight angle.

Howard is still on the grass, and as long as his shot is on target, it's fine.

But Joelly made a quick sliding tackle, and the ball hit his leg and bounced back to the far post.

Walcott followed up at the far post and took a shot, but Howard, who hadn't returned to the goal, blocked it with his body.

At that moment, Sun Ke rushed into the penalty area.

The soccer ball flew right towards you, and by then it was too late to jump.

Sun Ke hurriedly turned around and jumped, using a bicycle kick that he himself felt was ugly, to kick the football back into the goal.

That's all the help I can give.

Brothers, you'd better step up!

Because the ball had spun almost halfway through the air, Sun Ke couldn't even tell which direction it would fly to.

"Yeah!"

Just as Sun Ke fell to the ground and let out a muffled groan.

The entire Emirates Stadium suddenly erupted in cheers!

Ok?

Did Old Fan score?

Not bad!

Just as Sun Ke threw a punch, his teammates rushed up and pinned him down.

No!

What's going on?

Could it be...?

Did my buddy's hook go in?
