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

In the highly competitive Premier League, besides the "Big Six" who have gradually formed the leading group this season.

Anyone who can rank high on the leaderboard for two consecutive years is a tough opponent.

Only Everton, Bolton and Sunderland meet the requirements.

Moyes managed in the Premier League for nearly eleven years. He is one of the few managers in the Premier League who helped clubs rebuild, rejuvenate, and reshape their style.

The other two head coaches are naturally Ferguson and Wenger.

During Moyes' tenure, Everton was the strongest team outside of the "Big Six".

No matter what difficulties he encounters, Moyes manages to keep the team in the top eight of the Premier League.

If he hadn't taken over Manchester United when most of his key players were nearing the end of their careers, thus damaging his reputation, Moyes would have been a legendary manager of this era.

Allardyce's Bolton Wanderers finished in the top eight of the league for two consecutive seasons, despite having a transfer budget that might not even be enough to sign Sun Ke.

The club was too stingy, and Allardyce left the team after last season, resulting in Bolton suddenly becoming the bottom of the league.

Sunderland manager Steve Bruce is also a remarkable figure, leading this team, which has average reputation and financial resources, to ninth place in the Premier League for two consecutive seasons.

These past two seasons have shown a trend toward becoming a renowned coach.

This season, Bruce spent all the money from selling Henderson, plus the club's transfer budget, in one go.

As Ferguson's protégé, Bruce took over Manchester United's O'Shea and Wes Brown, and brought in ten players in one go.

Seeing this wave of transfers, everyone thought Sunderland would be able to make some waves this season.

Unexpectedly, after seven rounds of matches, Sunderland has a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 3 losses, ranking sixteenth out of twenty teams in the Premier League.

The worst thing for mid-to-lower-tier Premier League teams is to "go on a massive construction spree." Spending money to build half a first team usually results in the manager being sacked halfway through the season, and the club being relegated.

Manchester City, despite spending lavishly in previous seasons, could only sign a number of second-rate players; how much more so for these smaller clubs?

Bringing in ten second-rate players is not as effective as buying one first-rate player in his prime.

Bruce was very arrogant before the match, saying that if Blackburn could beat Arsenal, Sunderland could too.

Wenger said with a faint smile, "The probability of that is not high. If a team like Sunderland could always get low-probability results, they would definitely not be only ranked sixteenth now."

10 month 16 day.

Emirates Stadium.

Sun Ke seemed to have emerged from seclusion, having improved his tackling attribute by four points in those thirteen days.

Even without any extra points, he'd be considered a top-tier player in the Premier League.

Putting aside other clubs, Arsenal certainly doesn't have many players with good tackling skills.

But I still have to add points. First of all, since all my attributes are less than 70, the system can't enable the addition of points to other attributes.

Secondly, since we already have a system, there's no need to be picky.

I want them all!

Arsenal largely maintained their starting lineup from the previous match, with Capdevila returning to the starting eleven.

Sunderland's defense, including O'Shea, Brown, and Richardson, all came from Manchester United's youth academy.

Arsenal kicked off first, and the moment the referee blew the whistle, Sunderland players, who had fielded a five-man midfield, pressed forward.

Mid-to-lower-table Premier League teams have figured out a strategy for playing against Arsenal: they must launch a three-pronged attack at the start of the game.

Seeing Sunderland pressing aggressively, Silva moved his position behind the two defensive midfielders.

Arsenal players weren't in a hurry to move forward, but instead kept passing the ball around in their own half.

Seeing Arsenal play a safe approach at the start, Sunderland's formation unknowingly moved forward by nearly ten meters.

Arsenal made 15 consecutive passes, with even Walcott dropping back to make a pass.

Soon, the football came to Sun Ke's feet.

The moment he received the ball, Sunderland midfielder Colbeck rushed up from a few meters away and delivered a sudden, low shot.

Sun Ke, who was prepared, smoothly passed the ball to Silva, dodging Colbek's tackle and running to the opponent's position.

Young people can't hold their tempers!

While Sun Ke was complaining, Silva had already passed the ball to his feet.

Sun Ke took a step forward and immediately kicked the ball to the left wing.

Today, the 1.92-meter tall O'Shea is guarding the right flank for Sunderland.

Aircraft carrier!

The pass wasn't very high, but it arrived behind O'Shea very quickly, within seconds.

O'Shea turned around in a panic, but could only watch helplessly as Gervinho drifted past him.

Gervinho laid the ball six or seven meters towards the penalty area, and Sunderland's right center-back Turner was also a formidable opponent.

He realized it, but his body was slow to react.

By the time Turner had started his run, Gervinho had already reached the edge of the penalty area.

Turner was embarrassed to discover that starting it up was worse than not starting it up at all.

The next moment, Gervinho suddenly made a feint to break through.

As if to prove he wasn't an aircraft carrier, Turner reacted quickly this time.

Gervinho suddenly dribbled the ball to the side and then gently flicked it towards the corner of the six-yard box.

Van Persie appeared instantly in the path of the ball, and the Dutch striker drifted and half-turned to complete the shot.

Wes Brown rushed over only after he had taken the shot.

The ball flew straight towards the near corner, and goalkeeper Mignolet couldn't make the save.

He could only watch helplessly as the football slipped past his hands and rolled into the goal.

1: 0!

"Yeah!"

With Van Persie's goal, the Emirates Stadium erupted in a deafening roar of cheers.

After scoring, Van Persie ran wildly to the corner flag area and kicked it hard!

Not only Van Persie, but the other Arsenal players also waved their arms excitedly.

Sun Ke looked up at the electronic timer, which showed that Van Persie scored 29 seconds into the game!

What the hell!

They got in in less than half a minute!

Moreover, the Sunderland players have been chasing the ball since the start of the game, without ever touching it!

This is the consequence of being too ruthless.

The studio.

Zhan Jun excitedly exclaimed, "Just twenty-nine seconds into the game, Arsenal's striker Robin van Persie opened the scoring!"

"The Sunderland players were too aggressive in their pressing, completely exposing O'Shea's side."

"They probably thought that the high-pressing pace would exhaust Arsenal's players."

"They're being a bit presumptuous!"

"Sun Ke's mid-range pass was perfectly placed behind O'Shea, successfully launching this lightning attack!"

"Playing away against Arsenal, pressing high at the start is not a good strategy!"

"Sunderland players should be more cautious!"

"They paid the price for their recklessness!"

"Bruce's team was very eager to get points in this game, but they were a bit too hasty!"

On the sidelines, Wenger smiled and pumped his fist.

Perhaps even he himself didn't realize that this scene had become the norm for him on the sidelines this season.

Not far away, Bruce's face turned red, and he suddenly smashed the mineral water bottle in his hand on the ground, splashing water onto two or three people around him.

After Sunderland kicked off, Sun Ke truly felt the intensity of a mid-to-lower-tier Premier League team.

In the following match, Arsenal continued to control the game, but Son Ke played awkwardly.

Sunderland's three midfielders took turns harassing him, either knocking him down as soon as they received the ball.

Either before you even receive the ball, the opponent's tackle comes slid up.

No matter what he does, he will encounter intense physical confrontation.

This is really disgusting...

The goal was scored by Van Persie, with Gervinho providing the assist.

I haven't missed any data, is it appropriate for me to be staring at Huo Huo?

Of course, the experiences of other Arsenal players were similar, but it was more pronounced for Sun Ke.

In the following matches, Van Persie demonstrated his excellent form and shooting accuracy.

In the 12th and 14th minutes, the Dutch striker managed to score despite being closely marked by the defenders.

Both shots were taken from almost the same spot on the left post.

Sunderland didn't manage their first shot until the 20th minute of the match.

It seems that a victory is only a matter of time.

But in the thirtieth minute, Sunderland made everyone understand.

Taking victory from them won't be as easy as you might think.
