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

After more than a month of preparation, Arsenal gradually stabilized amid the turmoil caused by the loss of Fabregas, Nasri and Clichy.

In the seven pre-season friendlies, Arsenal dominated the game regardless of Wenger's lineup.

Of course, these warm-up opponents are not on the same level as Arsenal.

After being appointed captain, Van Persie seemed to have matured considerably.

Sun Ke recalled that last season, this guy suffered a serious injury after playing only three league games. New signing Chamacher performed exceptionally well, making Arsenal fans forget about Van Persie for a time.

In many people's eyes, Van Persie has been labeled as a player who is neither good enough for high-level jobs nor good enough for low-level ones, wasting his great talent.

However, after recovering from his injury, this guy scored 18 goals in the remaining league matches, setting a new personal record for goals in a single Premier League season.

At this point, most Arsenal fans had mixed feelings about Van Persie.

Everyone hopes he can play better and better, but no one dares to have too high expectations.

After all, the Dutch striker is already 28 years old this year, and no one can expect a player to suddenly become a god at the age of 28.

As a cornerstone of Arsenal, Van Persie's presence has largely helped maintain stability within and outside the club.

Even Wenger probably doesn't expect his hot-tempered captain to dominate the field.

In such an environment, Sun Ke's attempt to get close to Van Persie was seen by many as an attempt to curry favor with a stranger.

Even though Arsenal's midfielders are constantly getting injured, they have a lot of players to rely on.

Arsenal have reunited with many players after their Asian tour concluded.

Shakhtar Donetsk's attacking midfielder Jadson, Chelsea's center-backs Alex and Cahill, Blackburn Rovers' center-back Samba, Hamburg's winger Elia, Costa Rican international Ruiz, Everton's center-back Jagielka, Championship Birmingham's center-back Dann...

From the perspective of 2011, these players were all considered good players.

Sun Ke was well aware that these players could only serve as rotation players at Arsenal at best.

Subsequent developments proved that these players never made any further waves.

At this point, the whole world knew that Wenger had sold three important players and had money in his pocket.

As everyone knows, Wenger desperately needs to buy players.

So everyone set high prices for their target players, since they wouldn't lose money if they couldn't sell them.

Sun Ke heard that Wenger had contacted Shinji Kagawa, Hamsik and Hazard.

However, they had to give up on all of them because the prices quoted by the other party were too high.

So, with three days left before the start of the league, Arsenal still hadn't made any signings.

This situation certainly didn't satisfy Arsenal fans, so they composed a rap.

The rap begins with Chairman Kroenke speaking:

"Sethek was right to leave, and now you've lost Nasri as well."

"Looks like you'll be buying some people; I guess they'll all be named Squillaci."

"It's been six years, and we haven't had a championship!"

"You can't even win the Chiefs' Cup now, you're losing my trust."

"If Arsenal doesn't improve, you should call your friends at PSG."

At the end of the song, the singer sang in Wenger's voice:

"I'm too busy; the London rain has soaked Gervinho's hair."

"I know you don't want Nasri to leave for free, but fourth place is actually better than first place."

"Don't forget we still have Sun Ke and Flympong!"

"Don't rush, I have a long-term plan."

The song received a large number of clicks immediately after its release.

However, many fans still believe that Wenger remains the best choice for Arsenal.

Sun Ke was both amused and exasperated when she saw herself being used as a target of ridicule for Wenger.

Some people's value is only recognized as time goes by.

Of course, with the Great British Empire Star System on his back, Sun Ke was well aware of the principle that one should become famous as early as possible.

According to the system's inherent logic, the better the performance, the faster the improvement.

If you have a system on your back, and even for a second you think you'll achieve great things later in life, you're just being a scoundrel.

For more than a month, Sun Ke did everything he could, trying to find ten hours of training time every day.

Even on match days, he still tries his best to find time for training.

In the seven warm-up matches, apart from the match against Hangzhou Greentown, Sun Ke only started in the match against the New York Red Bulls.

In other matches, Wenger usually brings him on in the second half.

After a month, Sun Ke had exchanged 10 attribute points.

With two days to go before the first round of the Premier League, all of Arsenal's first-team players were sitting in a meeting room.

For more than a month, everyone played enthusiastically, and everyone played a lot of matches.

The excitement is over, and the real action is about to begin.

During the training camp, Wenger treated everyone well, and no one knew who would be their manager's first choice after the changes.

Although the core of the starting lineup is basically set, for many young midfielders, with Arteta, Wilshere, and Diaby all absent, their future at Arsenal is uncertain if they can't even make the bench.

Even though Sun Ke had prepared herself mentally, she was still very uneasy at this moment.

Sure enough, Wenger didn't have a smile on his face from the moment he entered the meeting room.

Upon hearing several French players speak French, Wenger immediately reprimanded them sternly: "I'll say it again, everyone on the team must speak English!"

This made Sun Ke a little nervous.

To ease his tension, he opened the system and repeatedly checked his attributes.

Shooting 60, ball control 74, dribbling 70, passing 78, long shot 100

Heading 64, Set pieces 60, Explosiveness 69, Speed ​​70, Power 60

Jump 67, Balance 64, Stamina 86, Tackling 64, Tackle 61

Anticipation 100, Off-the-ball movement 62, Creativity 61, Vision 60

Overall assessment: A qualified Premier League player.

In four months, Sun Ke's ability improved from excellent in the Championship to competent in the Premier League.

Don't underestimate these two small tiers; they can represent a world of difference in a player's career.

As is well known, although the Premier League and League Two are all professional leagues, the division between each level is very clear.

Football has entered the commercial era, and everything can be clearly viewed from an economic perspective.

In League Two, key players earn around £1500 a week – a tough wage for working-class people.

In the English League One, player salaries have started to diverge, with key players earning between £3000 and £5000 per week – definitely white-collar wages.

In the Championship, even a poor club can have players earning more per week than the top-paid players in League One, with some earning as much as £2 to £3.

In the Premier League, clubs like Arsenal can thrive as long as their young players can consistently stay in the first team.

Even if they don't make the bench all year round, their weekly wage should start at £1.

Of course, this income refers to the current income.

By 2023, a quick glance at the U18 youth training player roster of any club will reveal that any player with potential can easily earn tens of thousands of yuan per week.

For a professional player, moving from the Championship to the Premier League is a turning point in their life.

From the perspective of a long-time FM player, Sun Ke is very confident in his own technical skills.

Even if his attributes don't improve in the future, he will never lack suitors in the top five leagues.

Many of the Premier League teams' key midfielders, judging solely from a technical standpoint, are actually on par with me.

In terms of consciousness, it's not much better; it's just that its physical attributes completely surpass its own.

This is the biggest bottleneck preventing Sun Ke from becoming a starter at Arsenal.

However, Sun Ke believes that after this season, even without using the lottery system to play tricks, he can secure a starting position in most Premier League teams.

Wenger discussed some points to note about the match and immediately began announcing the starting lineups for the first round of the Premier League.

Goalkeeper: Szczesny

"Defenders: Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs."

Defensive midfielders: Rosicky, Song.

Attacking midfielder: Ramsey.

......

The starting lineup was largely as expected, with the players making the cut.

The only minor surprise was that Walcott, who had just recovered from injury, was not included in the starting lineup.

Next, we will announce the names of the seven substitute players.

At that moment, many people held their breath.

"Fabiansky".

"Zhu Lu".

"Jenkinson."

"Wallace Chamberlain".

"Walcott".

"Chamacher".

At this moment, Coquelin, Sun Ke, and Flipon, who was brought up from the youth training program, were all taking deep breaths.

Wenger's gaze swept across the three faces before he said, "Sun Ke."

Hearing his name called, Sun Ke breathed a sigh of relief.

Wenger told the three men, "The three of you will start in the third round of the League Cup."

After the meeting, Wenger pulled Sun Ke aside and said, "Make sure you stay healthy once the league starts."

"I have reservations about your current training intensity, but I will not interfere."

"However, if your body becomes too fatigued, I will stop your post-match training."

"We need to focus on the games during the season, I hope you understand."

"But I want to emphasize that I admire your work ethic; you're a good kid."

Sun Ke smiled and said, "Thank you, boss. I understand."

He hadn't expected that he would be ranked ahead of Coquelin.

You have to understand that this kid spent a whole season training in Ligue 1 last year, so his ability on paper is definitely stronger than mine.

It seems the old man has high hopes for himself.

Not bad!
