I'm 1.9 meters tall and weigh 200 pounds, can I pull the hem?

Hotspo Road Training Center.

The name of the training center is concise and to the point: "Hotspurs" is the English name of Tottenham Hotspur.

In the final training session before the match, head coach Mauricio Pochettino was explaining Arsenal's tactics and lineup for tomorrow to his players.

"Arsenal's Liu has become their new midfield linchpin."

"Sanchez remains a scoring threat on the wing."

"But they are not our primary target."

"We need to cut off their midfield and forward connection directly."

"Liu and Sanchez are both very strong, but their effectiveness will be greatly reduced if they can't get the ball in the attacking area."

The young people below nodded frequently.

Last season, Tottenham performed exceptionally well in attack, but their defense was abysmal.

The number of goals you can score is the number of goals you can concede.

But this season, with the arrival of Trippier and Alderweireld in the summer transfer window, Tottenham's defense has been completely transformed.

Trippier's inclusion as a key rotation player added depth to the defense.

Alderweireld's arrival, along with Vertonghen, formed a "Belgian double gate".

The two players have been partners in both the national team and club, and their defensive awareness and understanding have significantly improved Tottenham's defense.

This season, Tottenham have conceded the fewest goals in the entire Premier League.

At the same time, it retains a strong firepower: second in the Premier League in terms of goals scored.

……

the next day.

Arsenal's team bus slowly drove into White Hart Lane.

This stadium is only 4.4 kilometers away from the Emirates Stadium.

But the closer you get, the more different the atmosphere becomes.

White Tottenham elements are everywhere.

Fans wearing white Tottenham jerseys and white Tottenham scarves.

Upon seeing the red and white Arsenal team bus approach, a huge chorus of boos and curses erupted from the crowd!

Liu Yang, Gnabry, and Iwobi, three young players, sat together.

Although you may have heard about the fervent atmosphere of the North London derby, the feeling of being there in person is definitely different.

This is the first time these three young players, who are in their first year with the first team, have visited White Hart Lane.

"Make sure to keep your car windows secure."

Cazorla kindly offered a hint from behind.

His foot injury had not yet healed, but he wore a protective gear and traveled with the team to the away game to cheer them on.

Just as Cazorla finished his warning, an egg flew onto their car window.

Even though it was through the glass, Gnabry was still startled.

"My God!"

……

The pre-match press conference.

Pochettino was very enthusiastic and stood up to greet Wenger and shake his hand.

The young Argentine coach has attracted the interest of many top clubs: Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United...

"Mr. Pochettino, your attitude towards Arsenal was extremely polite, completely lacking the animosity that should exist between North London rivals and title contenders!"

"Of course, this is a crucial match, but ultimately, the outcome will depend on the players' performance on the field."

"Not a one-on-one duel between me and Mr. Wenger!"

"If that's the case, I don't think I'll have much of an advantage given his height of over 1.9 meters!"

One sentence made the reporters in the audience burst into laughter, and even Wenger couldn't hold back.

"That being said, Wenger is my senior, and I still have a lot to learn from him..."

"Oh, not at all, Mauricio is a very promising coach..."

The two head coaches, one old and one young, started praising each other at the press conference.

……

Players' tunnel.

Hello, Liu!

Kane took the initiative to greet Liu Yang.

"You've played exceptionally well this season, and we'll have the opportunity to work together on the national team in the future!"

Behind him, Ali, also from England, appeared rather indifferent.

Liu Yang may be his future competitor for the same position on the national team.

However, Liu Yang ignored him.

Kane is a good person, and since he took the initiative to greet him, Liu Yang naturally treated him with courtesy.

"Harry, you've been playing well this season too, you still have a chance to win the Premier League top scorer award!"

Let's take a look at Tottenham's starting lineup!

Kane has scored 16 goals in the Premier League, ranking third in the league, but only one goal behind Vardy and Aguero ahead of him.

"Haha, I haven't taken it yet."

"However, for me, helping the team win is the most important thing."

Kane's eyes hardened.

"Liu, I won't hold back on the field!"

"This season is Tottenham's best chance to win a title; we want to take the trophy we haven't won in years!"

Seeing Kane's determined gaze, and thinking about how he hadn't won a championship in all those years, Liu Yang couldn't help but want to laugh.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing..."

Liu Yang forced himself to tense his facial muscles to stop himself from laughing out loud.

"I remembered something happy..."

……

In the live broadcast room in China, a very familiar voice rang out.

"Welcome everyone to join us on Saturday night for the highlight of Premier League Matchday 29: the North London Derby!"

"Third-ranked Tottenham Hotspur will host second-ranked Arsenal at home!"

"Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun will provide live commentary on the match!"

Let's take a look at Tottenham's starting lineup!

Goalkeeper: Lloris!

"Guards: Kyle Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Danny Rose!"

"Defensive midfielders: Dier, Mousa Dembélé!"

"Attacking midfielders: Lamela, Alli, Eriksen!"

Forward: Kane!

"South Korean international Son Heung-min will be on the bench for this match!"

"Let's take a look at Arsenal!"

Goalkeeper: Cech!

"Defenders: Bellerin, Mertesacker, Paulista, Gibbs!"

Midfielders: Coquelin, Ramsey, Liu Yang!

Forwards: Walcott, Giroud, Sanchez!

- [Great, finally we see a fully-fledged Arsenal!]

- [Only the attacking line is at full strength; Koscielny and Monreal are still resting in defense!]

- [Tottenham's lineup looks pretty strong. Can Arsenal's defense hold up?]

- [Young, dynamic, and energetic; Tottenham's starting lineup has an average age of only 24, making it the youngest in the entire Premier League!]

……

The starting players from both sides took to the field.

The familiar electronic mechanical voice rang in Liu Yang's mind again!

[Congratulations! You have obtained a new quest instance: North London Derby!]

The noisy neighbors are eyeing the Premier League title.

However, Tottenham's young squad, along with their young manager, makes them a formidable opponent.

[Smash White Hart Lane and let the Arsenal fans go wild for you!]

This match will be tough, but if we win, we'll be one step closer to the championship.

[Available Synergy: King of London!]

[Reward available: Tottenham Legends Chest!]

……

The mechanical sound ended, and the referee's whistle blew.

Liu Yang saw Giroud pass the ball back to his feet.

The boos at White Hart Lane instantly escalated.

Lamela and Ali pressed forward simultaneously.

"Tottenham's young players are full of fighting spirit!"

"The pressing was very aggressive!"

"Liu Yang, pass it to Sanchez on the wing!"

"Walker made a crucial defensive play!"

The strong Tottenham right-back, after being outmaneuvered by Sanchez, accelerated again and caught up from behind.

Sanchez is a very muscular winger, but Walker is even more muscular!

He completely overpowered Sanchez!

"Walker's physical attributes are outstanding; his speed is even comparable to top speedsters like Bell, Walcott, and Aubameyang!"

"Danny Rose on the other side is also an incredibly fast horse!"

"The overlapping runs and tracking back of the two full-backs are a crucial part of Tottenham's attack and defense this season!"

……

As the match progressed, the tension in the North London derby gradually became apparent.

"Sanchez! Walker tackled him from behind!"

Walker received a yellow card!

"Arsenal's free kick, delivered into the penalty area, was headed away by Vertonghen!"

"Tottenham have a counter-attacking opportunity!"

"Wow, Kirkland's going to get a yellow card too, he pulled Ali down from behind!"

"The pace of offense and defense is changing very quickly!"

……

Liu Yang was being closely watched by Dell.

At this time, Dier had not yet switched to playing as a drop-back due to his serious injury.

His defensive midfield positioning, dropping back to provide cover and sweeping the field, played a unique role in the Tottenham squad.

Before Arsenal had even fully set up their defensive formation, Alli cleverly opted for a quick free kick!

But Mertesacker reacted very quickly, stretching out his long legs to block the ball!

This time, Tottenham was caught off guard!

Liu Yang received the ball in the middle.

Against Dell, one speed boost and I'll be able to get past him!

After all, there was plenty of space for counter-attacks, and Tottenham's defensive positioning was not ideal.

However, the grueling schedule of three matches in seven days, coupled with consecutive head-to-head battles against Kanté and Lukaku, somewhat affected his form.

The acceleration was a little too slow, and Dell blocked our way.

"Is Dell still moving this quickly at this point?"

As Liu Yang thought to himself, his shoulders were still wrestling with Dell's.

A 1.91-meter, 90-kilogram British strongman is not so easy to deal with.

Liu Yang could feel that his strength was superior, but he was still slowed down by Dale's defense.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my hind leg!

"Wow, Lamela's going to get a yellow card too!"

"They took Liu Yang down from behind!"

"Arsenal have won a free kick in a very good position!"

……

There were some minor skirmishes on the field.

Lamela and Ali kept complaining to the referee.

Liu Yang straightened his basketball socks.

It was alright, it was just a simple kick, not a serious foul.

Tottenham's two attacking midfielders – Lamela and Alli – have received more cards than their defenders.

These two hot-blooded young men always made some reckless defensive moves.

If it weren't for Lamela's foul, his breakthrough might not have posed any real threat.

……

The referee signaled for all players to disperse and sprayed a line of paint on the left side of the penalty area.

French goalkeeper Lloris loudly directed his teammates to form a human wall.

Liu Yang held the ball and placed it in front of the white line.

No one objected.

As everyone knows, this kid put on a spectacular show just three months ago, scoring two free kicks.

In his mind, the module for Ward-Prowse's set pieces lit up slightly.

[Set piece: 93!]

[Gained the "King of London" synergy bonus, set pieces: 93 → 99+!]

Liu Yang took a deep breath.

Run up, raise your arms, swing your legs!

The ball spun wildly in the air!

Lori was stunned.

He watched as the ball rounded the wall of players, looked like it was about to go out of bounds, but then it curved and flew towards the goal!

There was absolutely no response!

The ball flew into the top right corner of the goal!

"Goal!"

"It's Liu Yang again!"

"A crescent moon blade!"

"Just 15 minutes into the first half, Liu Yang's free kick gave Arsenal the lead, putting them ahead away from home!"
