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

When the match between Leyton Orient and Exeter ended, some media outlets suddenly raised the question: "The football was kicked apart during the match, so what went wrong in the process?"

The article introduces the background of the match and then describes the entire process of Sun Ke kicking the football.

The article also uses leading language to describe the situation: "It's astonishing that a 6.06-foot-tall, 167-pound Asian player could cause this durable soccer ball to explode in mid-air with just one ordinary shot..."

After this report was published, similar content appeared in many newspapers. When describing the facts, these media outlets basically only said what they wanted people to know, and their goal was very clear.

Upon seeing such a report, Sun Ke, who had lived through the information explosion era of later generations, immediately knew that someone wanted to smear Nike.

As one of the giants in the sports world, Nike demonstrates its influence in many sports.

Adidas was once the dominant player in the football field, while Nike gradually entered the football field after the 1990s thanks to its operational capabilities.

Take match balls as an example: Adidas is the official brand of the World Cup ball, while Nike is the official brand of the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and Ligue 1.

The two brands have been rivals in the football field in recent years, but Adidas' "Jabulani" logo launched at the South Africa World Cup has been widely criticized for being too light and having an irregular trajectory.

Seeing Nike's football get blown up in the game, Adidas naturally couldn't just sit idly by; that's business warfare.

Regardless of the facts, it is crucial to create a preconceived impression on the public.

Within a day, media attention on the "kick-off" scandal reached a fever pitch. Major media outlets maintained a relatively objective perspective, while some tabloids were eager to get to the bottom of it, revealing a number of less-than-glamorous stories about Nike in the process.

Nike didn't panic. Their first step was to release product performance tests to let everyone know the basic performance of the new product (Total 90 Tracer).

Next, Nike put the video of Sun Ke's explosive shot on the homepage of their official website, with the title "Is this just a normal shot?"

In an instant, Sun Ke's shot, along with a video of his long-range shot from the previous match, was compiled into a highlight reel, which quickly became a viral sensation on video websites around the world.

"Wow, this guy doesn't look that strong, how come he has such amazing leg strength?"

"Looks like a player of Chinese descent. Are Chinese players this strong?"

"They call that a normal shot? A long-range shot that leaves the goalkeeper with no chance is a normal shot?"

"This news was probably bought; they have no shame whatsoever!"

Nike, adept at leveraging video to project influence, quickly regained its footing. Public opinion shifted dramatically, with the media outlets that initially stirred up trouble apologizing or being sued for refusing to do so. The quality issues surrounding Nike's football brand were quickly resolved.

However, Sun Ke's popularity has not diminished at all. Some media outlets have reported that the speed of Sun Ke's long-range shots all exceeded 180 kilometers per hour.

That's a bit scary!

It should be noted that a shot with a speed exceeding 150 km/h is considered a powerful shot, and Sun Ke's shots far exceeded this standard.

For a time, Sun Ke became a top influencer in the video football section.

Why are Chinese people so fierce in Britain, while the Chinese national football team is so weak?

"Putting everything else aside, just look at their long-range shooting; they're miles ahead of the national team!"

"It seems it's not that we Chinese can't play football, it's that the country's ability to cultivate talent is too poor!"

Upon seeing this, Chinese fans began to ask questions.

Chinese fans are very sensitive when it comes to long-range shots.

In the 2002 World Cup group stage, Roberto Carlos' long-range shot that broke through the Chinese national team's goal was at exactly 150 km/h, and the goalkeeper barely had a chance to react.

Some people have also expressed doubts about Sun Ke's ability: "Isn't it just that he has a powerful shot? Football is not just about shooting power; it's about overall ability."

"Besides, he's just a League One player, is it really necessary to hype him up like that?"

Faced with these netizens who always criticize everything, some fans have reposted videos of Sun Ke's interceptions and assists.

Seeing Sun Ke's performance in the game, many fans were a little unsettled.

"Holy crap, how can his predictive abilities be so strong?"

"His passing is really something!"

"He looks very young! Is he Chinese or of Chinese descent?"

As the discussion grew, Sun Ke gained increasing attention in China, with some international students in London even providing information about her personal details.

Upon seeing that Sun Ke's nationality is British, many netizens expressed their regret, saying, "I knew it would be like this. It would have been so much better if she were Chinese. What a pity!"

Sun Ke read all the fans' comments, some of which were quite heartfelt.

However, as a time traveler, Sun Ke knew very well that the problems of the national football team could not be solved by one or two players.

Joining the national team at this moment would be tantamount to ruining one's career.

Sun Ke is currently just a football worker who trains for ten hours a day to earn two hundred points. His primary task is to help Leyton Orient avoid relegation and pass the system's assessment.

By this time, Sun Ke's scouting report had already appeared on the desks of many head coaches.

Finch Farm Training Base.

Moyes was sitting in his office reading Sun Ke's scouting report.

Name: Sun Ke

Birthday: October 13, 1992

Height: 185cm

Weight: XNUM X kg

Weaknesses: Poor ability to compete (D), narrow field of vision (D), lack of competition experience (D).

Potential rating: B-, with the potential to develop into a rotation midfielder for a mid-table Premier League team.

Template: Makelele/Fabregas.

"Exceptional anticipation skills, adept at delivering threatening passes, but with a narrow field of vision?"

"The future role models of Makelele and Fabregas are far from being there..."

Moyes frowned upon seeing the team report, which clearly highlighted its strengths and weaknesses and even contained contradictions in its ability assessments.

If he hadn't watched Sun Ke's games, he would definitely think that this scouting report was copied and pasted from other players' reports.

But in Moyes's view, Sun Ke's abilities were indeed as described.

A narrow field of vision might be due to the young player being too nervous after just getting his chance to play.

The problem is not big.

After a moment's thought, Moyes summoned the club's chief scout and said, "I require all the scout reports for the remainder of the season for Sun Ke."

......

Kearney Training Base.

Wenger asked the club's chief scout, Steve Lowley, "Is Son of mixed Chinese and English descent? He doesn't seem like it."

Steve Laurie immediately said, "Boss, Sun Ke's parents are both Chinese, and he was born in London."

Wenger smiled and nodded: "This young man has both the diligence of an Easterner and a rare ability to anticipate. I think a player's awareness is more important than his current technical ability. This kid has the potential to establish himself in a high-level club."

Although Arsenal are known for being stingy in the transfer market, as a Premier League powerhouse, buying a League One player is no big deal for them.

Assistant coach Baldr asked, "Should we ask Leyton Orient for a price now?"

Wenger smiled and shook his head: "We just need to keep an eye on him and try not to disturb him during this time."

Time flies. Six days later, Leyton Orient hosted Peter United, who were ranked eighth in League One, while their biggest relegation rivals, Dagenham United, played away against Plymouth, who were ranked sixth.

Peter United are only three points away from the playoffs, so they will definitely fight hard in this game.

In the locker room, Sun Ke opened the system; his account contained 3900 points.

In terms of strength, Leyton Orient is definitely no match for their opponent.

It seems they'll have to go all out to win today.
