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

Swansea's tactics are indeed purely ground-based, and their midfielders and forwards are all under 1.8 meters tall.

Apart from Joe Allen, the other two midfielders are both very stocky.

Arsenal has a strong sense of patriotism against teams like this.

In England, Arsenal represents the pinnacle of possession-based football.

Unlike Barcelona's Tiki-Taka, Arsenal's passing and possession style is all about constantly moving forward and stuffing the ball into the gaps between opposing players.

To put it bluntly, this kind of play is all about one-shot kills.

Barcelona's tactics are much more complex, and they are very selective in terms of players, making them almost impossible to replicate.

Even after joining Barcelona, ​​Fabregas couldn't fully integrate.

In the English leagues, a wave of ground-based teams with tactics very similar to Arsenal has emerged in recent seasons.

Swansea City is one such team, with tactics and personnel configurations very similar to Arsenal, except that the players are a poor man's version.

In the fourth minute, Arteta, Arshavin, and Van Persie combined in a series of short passes near the penalty area.

Arteta's shot from inside the penalty area towards the far corner was unfortunately saved by goalkeeper Vorm.

In the next few minutes, the two teams began to battle in the middle lane.

The midfielders from both sides seemed to be locked in a fierce battle, repeatedly vying for possession and then breaking through the middle with passing and control.

In the seventh minute, Sun Ke capitalized on a mistake in a pass by the opponent's defensive midfielder Britton, intercepting the opponent's attacking midfielder Augustin in the backfield and winning the ball.

After stopping the ball, he immediately passed it across to Sagna and then moved toward the opponent.

Sagna quickly passed the ball back, and the moment Sun Ke touched the ball, he passed it again to Arteta in the attacking third.

Arteta turned and played another through ball, but Ramsey's shot went wide.

Ten minutes later, Swansea began passing the ball to the wing.

They immediately passed the ball to Dier on the right wing, and Sun Ke loudly reminded Ramsey to pay attention to protecting the left wing.

Dell swept past Capdevila like a gust of wind.

But after the two made physical contact, Capdevila seemed to stick to the other person.

Dier's speed instantly shifted to second gear, and by the time he had used all his strength to get rid of the defender, Ramsey had already stopped the ball at his feet.

Realizing they wouldn't last long against Arsenal, Swansea immediately retreated and adopted a defensive counter-attacking strategy.

In the 15th minute, Sun Ke received the ball, turned and passed it diagonally to the right wing. Walcott used his speed to outpace Taylor and break into the penalty area.

Facing the onrushing Worm, "Little Tiger" opted for a chip shot.

Just as the ball was about to fly into the goal, center-back Caulker made a diving save to clear the ball off the goal line and out of the penalty area.

Swansea's best chance in the first half came in the 27th minute when attacking midfielder Augustin's free kick went wide of the crossbar.

Just as the Swansea players were encouraging each other, Szczesny rushed to the sidelines, took the ball from the waiting caddie, and quickly passed it to Silva.

Silva immediately passed the ball to Sun Ke, who was standing on the right side of midfield, and the Swansea midfielder, realizing what was happening, hurriedly ran back to the center.

Walcott surged down the right flank, Van Persie moved from the center of the penalty area to the right, and Arteta positioned himself outside the penalty area on the left.

Swansea's formation was in complete disarray, with the defenders moving towards the lane where Walcott and Van Persie were positioned.

but.

next moment!

Sun Ke delivered a long pass that spanned half the field; his pass was both fast and elusive.

Swansea's right-back, Rangel, hurriedly turned around to look for the ball.

He had just turned around when Arshavin on the left wing had already broken into the penalty area.

The 1.91-meter tall Caulker stepped up to cover, and Arshavin passed the ball to Arteta, who was not far away.

Without adjusting, the latter sent the ball into the penalty area from behind Caulker.

The instant Caulker completed the carrier's turn, Arshavin had already passed by him and unleashed a powerful shot at close range.

The goalkeeper made a save, but there was no way to stop Arshavin's powerful close-range shot.

1: 0!

After scoring, Arshavin excitedly pointed in Sun Ke's direction, then sprinted towards the sideline and made a diving save on the grass.

Sun Ke was about to raise his hands and show off when Sania grabbed him from behind and pinned him down.

Walcott ran down the wing and dove right into him.

Arshavin circled halfway around, then ran over, patting Sun Ke's face while shouting, "Hurrah!"

Sun Ke was bewildered as her teammates all came to mess with her.

No!

It wasn't me who scored the goal!

If you want to cause trouble, then go ahead and cause trouble for Arshavin!

He wanted to show off, but ended up getting pinned to the ground by a group of people.

What kind of nonsense is this!

On the sidelines, Wenger clenched his fist and stretched it back and forth twice – that was his celebration gesture.

It rivals Shearer's peasant-style celebration.

He turned and smiled at Boulder, saying, "What a beautiful arc!"

In the stands, Arsenal fans began singing catchy tunes praising the players.

They simply changed Fabregas's name to Sun Ke.

Some fans even held up signs that read, "Fàbregas is just a hired hand, Sun Ke is our future."

For the remainder of the first half, Arsenal kept Swansea pinned in their own half.

In the 44th minute, Swansea finally found a counter-attack opportunity.

Dier faced Capdevila and poked the ball 15 meters away.

Capdevila kept pushing him to the GG card, but the kid still managed to slip away.

Dier kicked the ball into the penalty area, and Swansea striker Graham rushed into the box.

but.

Just as the cheering Swansea fans thought their team was about to get a one-on-one opportunity, Silva suddenly overtook them from behind and then blocked Graham's path.

Szczesny pounced like a hungry tiger, catching the ball in his arms.

In an instant, cheers erupted once again at the Emirates Stadium.

Seeing Silva's explosive performance, Sun Ke couldn't help but marvel.

A top-class center-back is truly something else!

Even if you throw it out two meters, you can still easily chase it back.

If it were Zhu Lu, he'd probably be firing his gun again.

The first half ended with Arsenal leading by one goal.

Sun Ke's exquisite passes became the focus of his teammates' conversation.

Silva exclaimed to Sun Ke, "Your mid-range passing is just as good as Pirlo's!"

Sun Ke revealed a smug smile and shamelessly boasted that he had practiced diligently day after day to develop this passing skill.

A genuine Pirlo, isn't he!

The daily practice is real; Sun Ke now practices an extra 500 medium- and long-range passes every day.

But it's still more satisfying to get it done in one go.

In the second half, the match between the two teams resembled a UFC fight.

Arsenal have secured the riding position, controlling Swansea while simultaneously pounding their opponents.

Swansea tried to escape while protecting his vitals, and rarely had a chance to fight back.

In the 59th minute, Walcott received the ball with his back to goal in the penalty area, while Taylor behind him kept making small fouls.

The "little tiger" instantly lost his temper, turned around and rammed into the opponent, then forcefully shot the goal with his left foot.

Just as he was about to shoot, Taylor bumped him hard from the side.

Walcott lost his balance and managed a shot, which was blocked by center-back Williams.

Seeing this, Arsenal fans were unhappy and the whole stadium immediately chanted "Penalty!"

Goalkeeper Vorm received the ball and casually threw it to Randall on the right wing.

Amidst the deafening roar of the crowd, Worm's throw was like a stray shot from a cannonball.

The ball struck Randall, who was turning his head to look at the referee. The Swansea players looked to their right and suddenly began to anxiously remind Randall.

They saw Sun Ke rushing towards his own right-back, but his shouts were completely drowned out by the roar of the Arsenal fans.

The shot hit Randall's heel precisely, and the Swansea right-back instantly understood why Sun Ke was running towards him so desperately.

He turned around in a panic, but it was too late.

Sun Ke made a decisive sliding tackle, sending the ball into the penalty area.

Amidst the panicked Swansea players, Van Persie suddenly burst out of the penalty area and unleashed a powerful left-footed shot.

His shot went straight into the top corner of the goal.

2: 0!

Seeing this, the referee, who had been hesitating, immediately pointed to the center circle.

Fortunately, he scored, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do.

To prevent his teammates from swarming him, Sun Ke immediately rushed up and pulled down Van Persie, who was about to charge towards the sideline.

In a moment of impulsiveness, his teammates pinned Van Persie to the ground.

Sun Ke looked up at the stands, and the entire Emirates Stadium seemed to be pulsating.

That level of prediction is truly top-notch!

Seeing the way Vorm reached for the football, Sun Ke knew there was something going on today.

Meanwhile, Worm and Randall got into a fight, and their discussion quickly turned into a mutual swearing.

On the sidelines, Wenger smiled and gave Boulder a high-five, then turned around and sat back down on the bench.

In the 65th minute, the fourth official raised the substitution sign.

Upon seeing the number "24" on the sign, Sun Ke was puzzled for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips.

Look at this treatment!

With the game already decided, the old man's first protective substitution was for himself!

The Dutch striker has to be ranked behind him.

That's what you call prestige!

As soon as Sun Ke walked off the field, the Emirates Stadium erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

On the sidelines, Wenger draped his coat over Sun Ke's shoulders and explained with a smile, "Don't overthink it. I substituted you early so you could conserve your energy for the match four days later."

Sun Ke smiled and nodded: "I understand."

......

The match ended with Arsenal defeating Swansea 2-0, securing three points at home.

Arsenal controlled the tempo of the game for the final 25 minutes.

They managed to grind the game down to the wire; this is a green and environmentally friendly style of play that even top teams should master.

The knock-off Arsenal is nothing compared to the real thing.

At the post-match press conference, when Wenger was asked about Sun Ke's performance, he smiled and said...

"Young people always need time to find their place, but he acted like a seasoned veteran today."

"Those passes? A player's ability on the football field isn't something a magician conjures up; it's something that already exists."

"When a player's effort level is three times that of the average person, his rate of improvement will also be positively correlated."

"He has always worked at an admirable level, and it's hard to ignore his presence."

Wenger's imagination once again helped Sun Ke overcome the side effects of the trial card.

After the match, Sun Ke looked at the 1000 points reward and felt a little regretful.

If I hadn't left the game so early, I might have even won the Player of the Game award.

However, it's acceptable; with two matches a week, it's a case of low profit but high volume.

Four days later, Arsenal will face their first Champions League opponent away from home.

Borussia Dortmund.

At night, I lay in bed.

Thinking about his first time playing in the Champions League, Sun Ke is still a little excited.

I was supposed to fall asleep instantly, but it took me three minutes to finally drift off.
