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

Amid the cheers of over 40,000 fans, the referee blew the whistle to start the match.

Argentina kicked off first. Messi passed the ball to Higuain, who then passed it to the backfield and immediately rushed forward.

After Messi kicked off, he refused to run another step and walked forward at a leisurely pace.

Demichelis, on the defensive line, received the ball and wanted to wait for Messi to make a run, but their beloved half-man captain just wouldn't run.

Demichelis spread his arms toward Messi, who then began to symbolically make a running motion, but without increasing his speed at all.

Sun Ke almost laughed. Don't be fooled by this guy's quiet demeanor and his reputation for being humble; it's not true at all.

This play clearly shows that even when his teammates pass the ball, he insists on playing his own way, trying to make his teammates accommodate him.

It's clear that he's very satisfied with himself and subconsciously wants everyone to see how he differs from the other players.

He really needs to enjoy the feeling of winning a game when his teammates try their best but can't, while he can win it with just one move.

As a team leader, lacking communication skills is nothing to brag about. It's not that I'm unwilling to do it, but that I can't do it and don't know how to do it.

Sun Ke wasn't in a hurry at all; he simply walked around and blocked Messi's chances of receiving the ball.

Upon seeing this, England fans promptly burst into laughter.

Messi refused to run, so midfielder Biglia immediately moved forward, and Demichelis immediately passed the ball to a position near the center line.

It must be said that Demichelis' passing was indeed impressive; he delivered a pass from over thirty meters away to Biglia's feet.

Biglia charged forward with his back straight. Phil Jones closed in, but Biglia pushed back while accelerating, managing to squeeze past him.

As he approached the 35-meter mark of the goal, Phil Jones quickly raised his arm.

Biglia faced England's defense head-on and opted to send a through ball to Perez on the left, but it was thwarted by Terry's sliding tackle.

Milner blocked Messi and gained possession of the ball, only to be tripped and brought down by the belated Messi.

This guy's performance was a bit like a defensive midfielder, leaving even his opponent, Sun Ke, speechless.

In the past two seasons, Messi has actually developed this strolling style of play, which is how he plays in the "Spanish Derby".

For a considerable period of time, he gave the impression of being detached and indifferent to the fate of his teammates.

Iniesta and Sanchez had several balls brought close to him, but he was still walking; he just wanted to wait until the ball was at his feet before he started to exert himself.

But they don't play dead forever. Once they get the ball, they play like they're doing something, and they even have a fearless attitude.

As long as he continues to play like this, his fans will always believe that he is the most capable and most professional player in the world.

That's enough, since most of his fans know him through news, highlight reels, and inspirational stories.

To develop a liking for Messi through this means, and even to the point of self-hypnosis, treating his so-called spirit as a belief, is truly admirable.

Many people insist on buying a Messi jersey every year, eagerly anticipate buying an expensive ticket for Barcelona's Asian tour, and then scream wildly along with others when Messi appears.

When asked about the details of the match after it ended, they described the atmosphere of the stadium in great detail, mentioning things like Messi waving at them and Messi making a particularly cool move.

At this point, it would be inappropriate to ask for more details, because they probably didn't understand it, and it would be impolite to keep pressing them for answers.

The most likely response would be: "Actually, in my opinion, these things are no longer important. I'd rather..."

Many people have empty lives and are unwilling to spend the energy to study, so they often end up becoming part of the fandom.

This kind of idol worship is no different from that in the entertainment industry; it's all about spending money on things you don't usually need.

The game continued, and Messi, who was originally positioned as a striker, dropped back to midfield, single-handedly changing Argentina's formation into a 4-2-3-1.

As a result, after playing like this, Messi gradually found his rhythm on the field.

He stood still and waited for the ball. After receiving the ball, he dribbled past the first defender and then passed the ball to a teammate before the second defender could come up to challenge him.

Sun Ke realized that no matter how the head coach arranged the tactics, the other person did whatever made him happy and insisted on making the game the way he wanted it to be.

England played well too; Rooney was constantly battling Zabaleta, and Walcott occasionally had a small outburst that embarrassed Rojo.

After the match started, Sun Ke focused on organizing the game.

With the star players of both teams acting as playmakers, the Argentine players found themselves unknowingly becoming the defensive side as the game progressed.

In the following minutes, England continued to cross the ball down both flanks, and Lambert in the middle won the first ball twice, posing a threat to Argentina.

In the twelfth minute, Messi passed the ball to Higuain, and Cahill rushed out of the penalty area and made a powerful tackle, almost causing Higuain to fall face-first to the ground.

Free kick!

Moreover, the position was just one meter outside the penalty area line. Messi frowned as he looked at the goal and immediately took the free kick after the referee blew his whistle.

The football arced through the air and flew towards the bottom left corner of the goal.

The free kick was so fast that even Sun Ke couldn't help but turn around and look at the goal.

next moment!

Joe Hart lay sideways in the air, holding the football in his arms.

Whoops!

Joe Hart made a great save!

The game continued, and both of England's defensive midfielders were very aggressive, fouling Messi whenever he got the ball, resulting in Messi getting further and further away from the goal.

However, England's defense wasn't as aggressive near the midfield line, which allowed Messi to gradually find his rhythm.

He's getting into his stride, so Biglia, who was originally tasked with organizing the play, has to charge forward. With him on the field, the defense has to rely on Mascherano alone.

Mascherano became a patch-up artist, rushing to wherever there was a gap, and was also able to make interceptions and block shots.

Messi dribbles past opponents with great ease, while the Argentine players often treat Higuain like a poacher when making the final pass, which puts him in a difficult position.

In the 25th minute, Argentina accurately passed the ball into the penalty area from the right wing. Higuain tried to turn and head the ball, but Terry, who was right next to him, cleared the ball with a header.

In the first forty minutes of the first half, England had four shooting opportunities, while Argentina had five.

In the 42nd minute, Messi received the ball in midfield, and Rooney immediately rushed up to him.

As a result, Messi chipped the ball over Rooney, who turned around and bumped into him, but did not knock Messi down.

Facing the onrushing Milner, Messi flicked the ball from his left foot to his right, and then flicked it from his right foot to Milner's right side.

Milner rammed into him forcefully, but Messi was still not knocked down.

But just as he finished his dribble past the opponent, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of Messi.

Sun Ke snatched the ball away with almost no effort.

As soon as he got the ball, Biglia rushed up from beside him.

Before he came up, Sun Ke passed the ball to Phil Jones in the backcourt and then made a lateral run.

Phil Jones immediately passed the ball back, and Argentina's left winger, Perez, quickly rushed towards Sun Ke.

After he came up, Sun Ke easily passed the ball to the wing, Walker took the ball forward and then passed it to Walcott.

After receiving the ball, Walcott did not rush to dribble past his opponent, but instead passed the ball to Lambert, who had dropped back into the penalty area.

Lambert passed the ball to Rooney on the left, and as soon as Rooney received the ball, Mascherano followed up.

Rooney took a step back and passed the ball to Lambert, who was waiting outside the penalty area.

Mascherano immediately rushed to the center, and Lambert suddenly spread his legs, letting the ball pass between them.

next moment!

Sun Ke suddenly accelerated towards the ball, and Demichelis decisively rushed out of the penalty area and tackled Sun Ke before he could get the ball.

Sun Ke lobbed the ball to the right side of the penalty area before the opponent could react, and then jumped up to avoid the tackle.

On the right side of the penalty area, Walcott, under pressure from Rojo, didn't stop the ball and instead fired it high into the center of the penalty area.

The moment he kicked the ball, all the England fans at the St. Paul's Stadium stood up.

Everyone could see that Walcott's pass was for Sun Ke!

That was practically an alley-oop!

next moment!

Sun Ke, who rushed into the penalty area, and Garay, who is 1.9 meters tall, jumped into the air at the same time and collided with each other.

Gare leaned back and crashed onto the grass, while Sun Ke, who was half a head taller than him after jumping, even had time to tighten his core and then expand his body.

"Thump!"

With a crisp sound, the football flew straight towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

Romero made a desperate save, his face contorted with rage, refusing to give up until the very last moment, ultimately becoming the backdrop for the goal while wearing a mask of pain.

The football went into the net!

"Yeah!"

Amidst a deafening roar of cheers, Sun Ke excitedly charged towards the sideline and performed a mid-air spinning kick in front of tens of thousands of people.

This move drew gasps of amazement from the entire audience.

1: 0!

On the sidelines, Hodgson punched the ball hard, while Sabella made a disappointed backward leaning motion, almost falling onto the grass.

Seeing the goal, Lineker was beaming: "Great goal!"

"The game is developing in a way that we'd like to see!"

"Sun Ke intercepted the ball from Messi and then opened the scoring for the team!"

"This is a great start!"
