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

Before the match started, Sun Ke took another look at Manchester City's lineup in an attempt to relieve the pressure.

I have to say, it's absolutely top-notch!

This lineup would be absolutely top-tier in this season's Premier League.

If we place this on the bench twelve years from now, there will be nine substitute players on the bench, and five players can be substituted.

Manchester City is absolutely invincible; they can overwhelm Arsenal simply by filling their squad with players.

If they have five substitutions, then Hotbird and Walcott are out of the game.

Manchester City has Richards at right-back, who has been called the answer to the England national team for the next decade. This guy is like a buffalo; apart from not being very agile in terms of body and mind, he has no problems.

His rival, Zabaleta, is the captain of Argentina's U20 World Cup-winning team and won an Olympic gold medal with Messi. Together with Mascherano, he transformed Argentina into a defensively solid team in the 2014 World Cup.

The left-back position is occupied by Clichy and Kolarov, one a Frenchman and former Arsenal starter, and the other a former Lazio striker.

If these four players were to take turns attacking, Walcott could probably be knocked down more than ten times in a single game.

In midfield, standing to Sun Ke's side are Barry and Milner, both tough guys who can fight hard and have a good passing ability.

Their attacking line is even more impressive, featuring four forwards: Aguero, Balotelli, Dzeko, and Tevez.

The key is that the midfield also has Yaya Toure and David Silva.

This lineup can definitely be called a top-tier lineup. The reason why Manchester City is generally underestimated is simply because they have used money to create this lineup despite not having enough historical foundation.

Manchester City used Zabalet at left-back mainly because Clichy was suspended due to a red card; otherwise, fans would have been able to see Walcott go one-on-one with Clichy.

Manchester City kicked off the match amidst chants from their home fans.

Balotelli passed the ball to Yaya Toure in the backfield.

Facing the oncoming Coach Ta, Yaya Toure was not intimidated at all and charged straight at him.

This guy is tall and strong, he looks like a big truck.

Taurean wanted to fight and retreat, but Yaya Touré suddenly changed direction.

The tower instructor used his body to block it, but was instantly bounced away.

Upon seeing this, Manchester City fans erupted in cheers.

Yaya Toure showed no sign of backing down, dribbling the ball forward with long strides.

Song went to meet him, and Yaya Touré used his body to lean against Song, used his leg to wrap the football behind him, and then came out from another direction, even crawling through Song's legs.

The former Barcelona midfielder demonstrated his strong control to Arsenal players right from the start.

Just as he accelerated again, preparing to charge towards the front line.

Manchester City's engine suddenly caught a glimpse of an Arsenal player lunging at him.

That tackle was a tackle that involved both the player and the ball!

Yaya Touré reacted quickly and jumped up immediately.

The ball was tackled behind Yaya Toure, who immediately looked at the player who had tackled him.

"That kid!"

"Looks like a pushover, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless!"

Yaya Touré glanced at Sun Ke, who was staring straight ahead, and thought to himself, "What do you mean?"

Sun Ke had no way to deal with Yaya Touré.

The opponent's physical condition and skills are better than mine.

If defended normally, probably no one in the world could defend Yaya Toure one-on-one when he's already running.

Sun Ke's tackle just now was aimed at the opponent's boot, in order to interrupt the opponent's attack.

That distance was something Aya Toure could avoid if he had the will to survive.

Yaya Touré's leap caused much of the domineering aura he had just accumulated to leak out.

no way.

No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife!

He relies on his legs for a living, how could he not have a sense of self-preservation?

The two teams battled fiercely for five minutes, but Arsenal players realized with dismay that their team couldn't outlast their opponents.

In the sixth minute, Manchester City won a free kick on the left side of the penalty area, 30 meters from the goal.

Nasri opted for a lob shot, and Szczesny, positioned a bit too far forward, managed to catch the ball safely.

After completing the defensive play, Szczesny immediately pointed at Nasri and started yelling at him. The two exchanged insults for several rounds before Szczesny finally took the goal kick.

Against Manchester City, Arsenal's midfield passing and control remained fluid, but they were prone to losing possession on the flanks.

Hotbirds wanted to outrun Richards on the left wing. Richards, who is 1.81 meters tall and weighs 185 pounds (84 kilograms), is not at a disadvantage in terms of speed.

With their bodies pressed together, Richards forcefully pushed Hotbird aside and gained possession of the ball.

Hotbird, unable to contain his anger, tripped Richards with a dirty trick, and the latter got up and relentlessly pressed on.

The players from both sides huddled together, and Arsenal's midfielders and forwards were generally half a size thinner than their Manchester City counterparts in the same positions.

Sun Ke paid special attention to Aguero's legs.

That's fucking thick!

When he looked at Manchester City's information before the match, he immediately noticed Aguero's information.

He is 1.85 meters tall and weighs 75 kilograms.

Up close, it looks like a person is trapped between two tree stumps.

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered!

Sun Ke is nearly 1.89 meters tall and weighs only three kilograms more than Duo Fang.

It feels like the same clay, one being stretched and the other being rounded.

After the game restarted, Aguero and Sagna went toe-to-toe on the right wing, but Vermaelen lost and almost had his defense torn apart.

Fortunately, Koscielny's lower body skills are top-notch, and he poked the ball away with one foot.

In the eleventh minute, Nasri received the ball on the left flank. Instead of engaging with Sagna, he sent the ball directly into the penalty area.

Silva made a diagonal run into the penalty area, turned and shot, but Szczesny caught it in his arms.

Arsenal didn't have many chances, holding on until the seventeenth minute before getting their first shot on goal.

Tajkovic also passed the ball into the penalty area, and Gervinho took a shot from a tight angle in the six-yard box. Hart made a brilliant save, deflecting the ball out of bounds.

As Coach Ta took the corner kick, Sun Ke walked over and leaned closer, saying, "If they use attacking players to defend me, try to get the ball to the near post. I'll give it a shot."

After saying that, Sun Ke gave Altat a coded gesture.

Arteta nodded, saying that against an aerial powerhouse like Manchester City, Arsenal's fancy moves were useless.

As for those corner kick tactics, for a team of Manchester City's caliber, as long as they concentrate, they won't be very effective.

This was Arsenal's first corner kick of the match, and their players were clearly at a disadvantage in terms of height and weight.

Sun Ke estimates that the reason Manchester City bought so many technically and physically strong players is because they are afraid of being overwhelmed by mid-to-lower-tier teams in an unreasonable manner.

Inside the penalty area, Sun Ke began to observe the matchups of Manchester City's defensive players.

Kompany has an advantage in height, jumping ability, and physical strength when defending Silva.

Barry was marking Vermaelen, and he was slightly taller and heavier than Vermaelen.

Kolo Toure is guarding Song; they are similar in height, but Kolo Toure is more experienced.

Richards guarded Koscielny, and Yaya Toure guarded Van Persie.

The one defending him is... Balotelli!

They look down on people!

Mancini doesn't take himself seriously and uses a fool to defend him.

As a genuinely talented center forward, Balotelli's heading ability is definitely superior to Sun Ke's.

However, Sun Ke observed that this guy really enjoyed daydreaming.

To put it bluntly, it's a problem with focus.

Balotelli can only stay focused when the team is attacking or when he has the ball.

wrong!

He even lost focus during a one-on-one situation in the European Championship final.

Balotelli's world is hard to understand!

Coach Ta glanced at Sun Ke and made a gesture that only his teammates could understand.

At this moment, the tower instructor raised his hands, spun around in the air, and then leaned back slightly.

The ninth set of broadcast gymnastics was performed with such smoothness!

Arteta took a few steps back, and then the referee blew his whistle.

The coach took the corner kick.

At the moment of his run-up, Sun Ke activated the Bierhoff experience card!

In an instant, Sun Ke suddenly felt a surge of energy!

He followed his instincts and charged forward.

At the same time, Arsenal players rushed towards the penalty area, and the defenders instinctively used their bodies to block the players who were marking them.

next moment!

Balotelli suddenly realized that the Chinese kid he was supposed to be marking was gone!

This guy has good athletic ability and immediately followed.

Note that it means "followed after".

They kept rushing forward desperately.

The coaching staff's report indicated that Sun Ke lacked the ability to score from set pieces.

This kid actually dared to go to the near post to head the ball.

He doesn't have that ability!

Just then, Balotelli's pupils suddenly contracted.

In his line of sight, Sun Ke suddenly leaped high into the air.

Seeing the height of Sun Ke's jump and his body posture.

Balotelli's first thought was not nervousness or anxiety, but amazement.

That take-off posture is awesome!

At this moment, both teams' players saw Sun Ke waiting for the ball in the air.

That's right, they're waiting for the football in the air.

The most beautiful moment of a header is when the player is airborne and receives the ball.

In that instant, the player seemed to be standing on the ground, only needing to use the momentum to swing his head to change the direction of the ball while preserving its speed to the maximum extent.

On the sidelines, Mancini stared blankly at Sun Ke in the air.

He was a striker by trade, so he knows this very well.

Sun Ke excels in everything from the timing of her start, the height of her jump, to her posture in the air.

They're all almost perfect!

Mancini blurted out, "No way!"
