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

10 month 20 day.

Velodrom Stadium.

Wenger sat on the coach's bench with a serious expression, while Sun Ke sat on the substitute bench watching the old man's expression.

It was obvious that the old man hated everything related to Marseille.

The feud between Wenger and Marseille dates back many years, when the old man was offered a contract by Monaco after three years of coaching Nancy.

To everyone's delight, Wenger led the team to the Ligue 1 title in his first season.

Although Wenger transformed Monaco from a fifth-placed team in the league into a title contender, that era did not belong to Arsenal.

Marseille in that era was like a "cancerous" monster, poaching players from Monaco, bribing players, and bribing referees.

They won four consecutive Ligue 1 titles and also lifted the Champions League trophy.

Sun Ke had read Wenger's autobiography, in which the old man publicly confronted and caught the mole after a match.

The old man was a man of principle; he didn't expose the mole to the public.

Because doing so would only ruin the players and would be pointless; he simply couldn't bring down Marseille, who were already deeply entrenched in Ligue 1.

Later, the scandal broke in Marseille, but the damage to Monaco and Wenger was irreparable.

Sun Ke, sitting on the bench, was in a somewhat amused and frustrated mood, not because he wasn't included in the starting lineup.

The old man has already spoken with him, and Sun Ke's main goal this season is the Premier League.

This perfectly aligned with Sun Ke's plan.

Good thing!

What truly made Sun Ke both laugh and cry was that he had grown another centimeter, and his height had now reached 1.87 meters.

This means that even if he performs at his best in the defensive midfield position, he still can't play like Xavi.

Harvey is the ceiling of this style. Even if Sun Ke maxes out his balance attribute, which represents agility and flexibility, he still can't shake off the defender by backing down the defender.

The nearly 20-centimeter height difference significantly increased Sun Ke's turning radius.

According to the team doctor's examination, Sun Ke's height is very likely to reach around 1.9 meters.

To remain competitive in the defensive midfield position, one must increase the ability to break through defenses head-on.

Once all attributes reach 70, Sun Ke's primary focus for attribute point allocation will shift to dribbling, burst damage, balance, and strength.

A direct breakthrough is all about that initial burst of speed.

Using explosive power to instantly create space for passing the ball and hold off defenders while making moves is an essential skill for tall defensive midfielders.

Thinking about this, Sun Ke didn't care.

It's just a small transformation, no big problem.

After the first two rounds of the Champions League, both Arsenal and Marseille have won both of their matches.

Marseille leads Arsenal by one goal difference and is ranked first in the group.

Everyone thought that the reigning Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund could unleash a youth storm in this group, but unexpectedly they suffered two consecutive defeats in the group stage, becoming easy prey for Arsenal and Marseille.

Marseille is no pushover; in their last group stage match against Dortmund, they dominated with a high-pressing, run-and-gun style of play, scoring three goals against their opponents.

Marseille's head coach this season is Didier Deschamps, and their squad boasts a host of talented players including Mandanda, Azpilicueta, Valbuena, Rémy, and Ayew.

After the game started, it was initially thought that the two teams, both known for their flashy tactical styles, would use their best run-and-gun offense to determine the winner.

Surprisingly, Arsenal's Song and Arteta played very pragmatically in the defensive midfield positions.

Song is a defensive midfielder who combines technique and physicality; he can organize play and also be a ball-winning machine.

Arteta, who came through Barcelona's youth academy, has played for Everton for many years and can always act as a playmaker.

Thirty minutes into the first half, Gibbs and Song both received yellow cards for fouls, making it difficult for Marseille's physically imposing players to get past Arsenal's defense.

In the 35th minute, substitute Chamakh almost scored with a header, but Diarra blocked it with his tightly clenched upper arm.

The anticipated technical contest turned into a fierce physical battle, something neither Marseille nor the rest of the team expected Arsenal to play so toughly.

The first half ended with both teams tied 0-0.

Wenger walked back to the locker room with Maicon, looking concerned. The Brazilian right-back had been injured at the end of the first half but continued playing after receiving treatment.

If Maicon gets injured, Sagna's only rotation player will be Jenkinson.

James Mills' performance against Manchester United was so outstanding that the old man only dared to bring him on as a substitute in cup matches.

Sun Ke glanced at the statistics in the coaching staff's hands; both teams' passing accuracy was less than 80%.

The match resembled a clash between mid-to-lower-tier Premier League teams, with neither side managing to complete five consecutive passes.

After the start of the second half, both teams tried to speed up the game, but after losing possession, both sides chose to desperately intercept their opponents, resulting in an unusually high number of passing errors.

In the 64th minute, Rosicky played a through ball, and Marseille's defensive midfielder Nkulo made a defensive error, passing the ball to Walcott.

"Little Tiger" burst into the penalty area, but his shot was blocked by Mandanda's leg.

So far in the match, Arsenal have only had two scoring opportunities, while Marseille have had many shots, but none of them have been clear-cut chances.

In the 70th minute, Tah's stamina dropped, and he was dispossessed by Gonzalez, who was marking him.

Talisca's body couldn't keep up, but his mind was clear. He turned around and kicked the opponent, interrupting the opponent's counterattack at the cost of a yellow card.

Seeing this, Sun Ke immediately went down to warm up without the old man saying anything.

Five minutes later, Wenger made two positional changes in one go.

He substituted Sun Ke for Arteta, whose physical condition was declining, and Gervinho for Walcott.

Coach Tata was aggressive and fearless, but he was struggling to keep up with Marseille's strong and physical attacking force.

Walcott played two games for England, but his form was mediocre.

Wenger's strategy was clear: first, control the ball, and maintain attacking power on the flanks.

After Sun Ke came on, he immediately received special attention from the Marseille players.

But thanks to his mid-range passing ability as a "master of playmaking," he quickly helped Arsenal regain control.

Gervinho became the biggest beneficiary, constantly threatening the opponent's defense with his powerful dribbling.

Hotbird and Schamah threatened the opponent's defense twice in a row, and Marseille's defense was gradually being breached.

It's difficult for Sun Ke to deliver passes that can deceive the live camera like Xavi or Messi.

However, he can always pass the ball to his teammates who are in open positions as soon as possible.

This significantly improved Arsenal's attacking momentum.

In the 84th minute, Wenger made his final substitution.

He substituted Van Persie for Chamach, the old man hoping to take three points away from home.

If Arsenal can win this match, they will take control of the group.

If Arsenal gain an advantage in the Champions League, they can focus all their efforts on the league.

Although Van Persie has been somewhat exhausted lately, Wenger still played his trump card.

After Van Persie came on, Arsenal gradually surrounded Marseille in their own half.

Deschamps also brought on defensive midfielders in succession, and a draw for each side would be perfectly acceptable for Marseille.

The adjustments made by both teams set the tone for the final ten minutes of the match, with Arsenal completely surrounding Marseille within a forty-meter radius.

Marseille played tenaciously, repeatedly blocking Arsenal's shots in the penalty area.

In the 91st minute, Sun Ke made a 40-meter long pass, sending the ball between the center-back and the full-back.

Gervinho made a cross from the wing, and Van Persie's shot from the right side of the penalty area was saved by goalkeeper Mandanda.

Marseille immediately launched a counter-attack, passing the ball to the right wing, where the skillful Valbuena received the ball and dribbled past Maicon in an instant.

Sun Ke quickly filled in on the right flank, while Marseille's three midfielders all launched attacks.

If Valbuena can break through Sun Ke's defense, Marseille will be able to score from multiple positions.

Sun Ke maintained a distance of no more than two meters from the opponent, waiting for his teammates to return to defense.

When Valbuena saw that Sun Ke wasn't going to attack, he immediately started brainstorming.

He made a feint to pass the ball to the middle, and Sun Ke played along, moving his body to the left.

The next moment, Valbuena immediately cut the ball to the wing.

To his surprise, Sun Ke suddenly turned around and made a sliding tackle, keeping the ball at his feet.

He got up without making any adjustments and immediately passed the ball forward.

Marseille's defense pushed forward as a whole, and this goal caught their defense off guard.

In the blink of an eye, the balance of power shifted again.

In front of Marseille's penalty area, Van Persie and Arshavin both broke the offside trap.

The two of them were now facing Mandanda in a two-on-one situation.

On the sidelines, Wenger clenched his fists tightly.

Arsenal fans erupted in cheers.

Less than a minute remains in the game!

This is a golden opportunity to kill the game!
