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

In the stands, Sun Ke and his six teammates sat in a row.

All Premier League teams play in standard football stadiums, without the substitute benches found in multi-purpose stadiums.

In such a stadium, the players on the field can clearly hear the fans' shouts, and the players on the bench have basically blended in with the fans.

The away team's fan section is usually located on the corner opposite the main stand, so even before the match started, Sun Ke's name had already been associated with words starting with "F" countless times.

Playing away from home puts a lot of pressure on a player's mental fortitude. If it were someone with a narrow mind, their mentality would probably collapse before the game even starts.

Once the match started, the Newcastle players were like bulls in heat, and if the Arsenal players hesitated even slightly, they would immediately engage in close combat.

Arsenal players had made targeted preparations long ago. In last week's training session, the substitutes, led by Sun Ke, defeated the starters countless times.

Whenever Van Persie gets the ball outside the penalty area, Sun Ke almost always brings him down, ball and all, causing the Arsenal captain to constantly try to control his emotions with deep breaths.

Sure enough, as soon as Arsenal kicked off, Van Persie ran out of the 40-meter zone for the first time and was fiercely tackled to the ground by Tiote.

Van Persie turned to the referee to complain, and Newcastle fans immediately erupted in a huge chorus of boos.

Arsenal were unaffected and almost scored early in the game.

In the second minute, Gervinho received the ball, and two Newcastle players immediately sandwiched him to the wing.

Hotbird collided with a defender, sending the ball flying more than ten meters away.

Arsenal's new signing, the speed demon, dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area and then passed it to Ramsey in the middle.

Van Persie ran out of position, but Ramsey hesitated for a moment and passed the ball across to Rosicky.

Rosicky took a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, but the ball grazed the left post and went wide.

Newcastle players took advantage of Arsenal's two center-backs' lack of height, repeatedly lobbing the ball into the opponent's penalty area.

Vermaelen and Koscielny didn't hesitate, clearing the ball out of the penalty area one after another.

In the eighth minute, Arsenal seized another opportunity in attack and defense, launching a rapid attack up the pitch.

Gervinho crossed from the wing, and Van Persie made a run into the middle, but Coloccini cleared the ball first.

After the start of the game, Van Persie seemed uncomfortable playing.

Hotbird either goes solo or forces a cross.

Heading the ball is clearly not a comfortable way for Van Persie to receive it.

In the 18th minute, Gervinho crossed the ball again, and Newcastle center-back Taylor's clearance hit Coloccini.

The ball bounced to Van Persie, who dribbled past the defender and took a shot near the penalty spot.

But luck wasn't on the Dutchman's side; his shot hit the right side of the post and went out of bounds.

On the bench, Sun Ke, who had already jumped up, held his head in regret; it was such a pity.

The Newcastle players, who had miraculously survived, were not only unaffected, but their fighting spirit was ignited.

Inspired by the home fans, Newcastle players had two good shooting opportunities.

In the 30th minute, Song was dispossessed after receiving the ball. He remained calm and immediately committed a foul, receiving a yellow card to stop the opponent's counterattack.

A few minutes later, Arsenal won a corner in the attacking third. Goalkeeper Krul made a mistake coming out of his goal, and Koscielny headed the ball from 5 meters out, but it was cleared by Simpson who was guarding the goal.

Even Wenger was stunned by what he saw.

In first-half stoppage time, Coloccini chased out of the penalty area and swept Van Persie twice, earning a yellow card from the referee.

At halftime, Arsenal had missed three excellent scoring opportunities, and Song also received a yellow card.

Although Newcastle players are very aggressive in their physical battles, the team is full of seasoned veterans who know exactly how to handle fouls.

Inside the locker room, Wenger mainly focused on encouragement, and everyone was in good spirits.

After all, with two key attacking players missing, no one knew how well they could perform.

Even against a long-established powerhouse like Newcastle, Arsenal were able to maintain their dominance for those 45 minutes.

That's quite an achievement.

You have to understand, Newcastle is no pushover.

In last season's Premier League, Arsenal led by four goals at halftime, but Newcastle staged a stunning comeback in the second half, turning the game into a draw.

After the start of the second half, Newcastle began to use fouls to delay Arsenal's passing combinations.

Seeing that Demba Ba, who was not physically strong, was not making an impact in the attacking third, Alan Pardew brought on former Manchester United French winger Obertan as a substitute.

In the following match, both teams traded attacks and defenses.

Newcastle's scoundrel Barton began to play his role as a troublemaker, committing fouls and spewing trash talk on the right wing.

This guy has a very good grasp of the referee's standards. Every foul he commits seems casual, but in reality, he's using dirty tricks and underhanded tactics.

Sure enough, Arsenal's young players quickly fell for Barton's tricks.

In the 51st minute, Gibbs was brought down by Barton while dribbling the ball. Barton then fell down as well, crashing heavily onto Gibbs, and pretended to be surprised and concerned.

Gibbs is still too green; he can't keep anything to himself.

A minute later, Barton dribbled the ball and charged towards Gibbs.

Without saying a word, Gibbs launched a flying tackle, sending both the player and the ball flying into the air.

Judging from Barton's posture, which seemed to rise without any wind, this guy had already anticipated that Gibbs was going to tackle him.

This guy is really stubborn; that kind of kicking is like adding blood to a knife's edge.

If Gibbs were to raise his leg, and we trade a month-long suspension for one leg, his professional career would be pretty much over.

Seeing Barton being tackled, the Newcastle players rushed over and surrounded Gibbs. Some of them cursed at him from the front, while others made dirty plays from below.

Arsenal players rarely experience situations like this, and their reaction speed is far slower than their opponents'. It wasn't until Gibbs suffered a loss that they remembered to pull him away from the Newcastle players.

Two minutes later, the referee called both captains to his side and gave them a stern warning, then gave Gibbs a yellow card.

Barton began to feign innocence and misunderstanding, immediately drawing a huge chorus of boos from the more than 40,000 Newcastle fans in the stadium.

Soon, Barton got entangled with Song again and even pinned Song to the ground.

This guy stood up, supporting himself on Song's waist, and burst into loud laughter, looking every bit the old rogue.

Soon after, Song, who was carrying a yellow card, retaliated.

After knocking the other person down, the guy stepped on their shin.

Barton clutched his leg and complained to the referee, loudly cursing Song.

At this moment, all members of the Arsenal team were on edge.

If Song were to be sent off at this point, the balance of the game would immediately tip.

Fortunately, Song's retaliatory action escaped the referee's notice.

Despite this, Wenger, standing on the sidelines, shook his head repeatedly in frustration.

The series of clashes completely disrupted Arsenal's rhythm, and Newcastle's attack began to improve under Cabaye's organization.

They had two scoring opportunities in a row, and Arsenal's goal was in danger of falling.

In the 60th minute, Arsenal's corner kick was cleared, and Gutierrez took the ball and charged forward alone.

Before the other person could fully get going, Rosicky simply grabbed his collar and pulled him down.

Yellow card!

After an hour of play, Arsenal, known for their technical skill, received three yellow cards, while Newcastle, known for their rough play, only received one.

Some things you really need to learn from your mistakes.

Seeing the situation getting out of control, Wenger decisively substituted Walcott for Arshavin.

After "Little Tigers" came on, Arsenal's attack came alive again.

In the 67th minute, Tiote couldn't keep up with Arsenal's passing and movement, so he simply pulled Ramsey down early.

Yellow card!

Three minutes later, Arsenal won another free kick in the attacking third, but Van Persie's free kick went just wide.

Just when everything seemed to be going in Arsenal's favor, the game took another unexpected turn.

In the 75th minute, Gervinho broke into the penalty area and fell, but the referee did not award any penalty.

Suddenly, Barton rushed over, accusing Hotbird of faking a fall while pulling him up from the ground.

Hotbird, enraged, turned and slapped Barton across the face.

Barton dramatically collapsed to the ground, clutching his face, and amidst a deafening chorus of boos from the home fans, the referee showed Gervin a straight red card.

Barton and Szczesny clashed and were both shown yellow cards.

Upon seeing Gervinho sent off, the home fans immediately erupted in thunderous cheers.

......

The studio.

"Arsenal players are a bit too impulsive!"

"They had already built up the advantage before this red card, so Gervinho's red card was completely unnecessary."

"So far, Arsenal have received one red card and four yellow cards, while Newcastle players have only received three yellow cards."

"In the last three encounters between the two sides, Arsenal has had a player sent off in each game, and they should learn something from that."

"Arsenal had the advantage, but with a man down, the game could very well turn around."

Seeing this, Zhan Jun couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He knew very well that with a player sent off, Arsenal could win even if they didn't lose.

To win, we can only hope for a stroke of luck.

At this moment, Sun Ke quickly ran down from the stands to warm up.

With just over ten minutes left in the game, both Song and Rosicky had a yellow card.

After Ramsey moved to the left wing, only Song and Rosicky remained in the middle.

That kid Song is really tough.

Rosicky, who is thirty years old, has old injuries. This guy probably won't last until the end of the game... right?

No matter what, Sun Ke needs to be prepared.

I thought that if the two sides remained deadlocked, the old man wouldn't dare to let me step in.

But seeing this situation, my chance to play has suddenly come.

Wenger paced back and forth on the sidelines, glancing at Sun Ke three times.

Seeing Rosicky's running becoming increasingly tiring, Wenger clenched his fist and finally made a decision.

To be honest, he really didn't expect the game to develop to this point.

The professor originally thought that Arsenal would at worst struggle to break through, and that they could try their luck by bringing on Sun Ke.

The Leyton Orient's comeback victory against Southampton left a very deep impression on the old man.

It's practically ingrained in his bones; otherwise, Wenger would never have spent seven million pounds to buy a young player with only six appearances and no notable achievements in the youth team.

Eighty-first minute.

The fourth official held up a sign: 24 up, 7 down.

Number 24 is Sun Ke's number for the new season.

He made this choice because he had no other choice.

All the good numbers were taken. Arteta took number 8 when he joined the team, Koscielny wore number 6, Ramsey wore number 16, and Squillaci wore number 18.

All the auspicious phone numbers have been taken, which is really frustrating for Sun Ke, who believed in science before time travel but now believes in fate.

Even the unlucky number 13 was chosen by Szczesny.

The team only had number 9 and number 11 left, and Sun Ke shamelessly asked to play number 9.

Wenger subtly suggested that Son Heung-min's number 9 form might be too weak to handle and could negatively impact his luck.

After all, football is a rather strange thing.

Sun Ke had absolutely no interest in number 11.

Since he couldn't choose an auspicious number, nor a number that symbolizes the world of football, Sun Ke might as well lean towards basketball.

Originally, I wanted to choose number 23, but Sun Ke wanted to pay tribute to the Black Mamba.

I wonder what a living person would think if they knew they were being missed.

Sun didn't care about any of that; he just wanted to reminisce.

Standing by the court, Sun Ke decisively activated the blue button for a ten-pull in his mind.

Points are hard-earned money, so let's try our luck with the blue button first.

If something can be done with a small amount of money, we should try not to be extravagant.

I didn't win a single one.

Click the blue button again to perform a 10-pull.

Thank you for your patronage nine times; I was lucky enough to win a picture of Wu Lei at his peak.

Sun Ke did another ten-pull and drew Ochoa at his peak.

"No, System Bro!"

"Don't mess with me!"
