With maxed-out heading ability from the start, I became the king of Arsenal.

As soon as Sun Yu stood still, Shawcross began to squeeze him frantically from behind.

Sun Yu used all his strength to barely maintain his position, but he found it difficult to completely suppress his opponent.

The two struggled for five seconds, but Shawcross was always able to find an opening in the opposite direction of Sun Yu's attack.

Seeing that the other person was always by his side, Sun Yu thought to himself, "Oh no."

Whether you can hold onto the ball depends on where Huilan passes it.

next moment!

Huilan dribbled a half-high ball towards Sun Yu.

Nima!

This is a recipe for sudden death.

We must never passively take a beating!

Before the football even flew over, Sun Yu used all his strength to slam his shoulder into Shawcross.

The smaller the contact area, the greater the pressure.

This move would be a foul in 95% of official matches worldwide, but it might not be so in the English Premier League.

Six months ago, Shawcross made a sprinting tackle that broke Ramsey's leg through the force of the ball, and the referee didn't even immediately show a red card.

If it weren't for veteran Campbell's strong argument, the referee might not have sent off Shawcross.

Professional football is not something just anyone can get involved in, especially the English Premier League.

Sun Yu's action would be considered to be operating in a gray area in the Premier League.

Shawcross was knocked to the side by Sun Yu's headbutt, but this guy was no ordinary person.

In the instant he lost his balance, he grabbed Sun Yu's team uniform and forcefully straightened his body.

He touched the ground with his left foot, threw himself into the air, and swung the ball dozens of meters away.

Sun Yu was pulled so hard that he lost his balance, and both of their bodies turned at least ninety degrees, landing sideways on the lawn.

"That's incredibly impactful!"

"Holy crap! These two are ruthless!"

"Watching them play soccer gives me goosebumps!"

Seeing the two men fall onto the grass at the same time, their teammates around them were shouting and yelling.

Under Priss's approving gaze, Sun Yu and Shawcross quickly stood up.

The two men didn't exchange a single glance, both waiting for the head coach to announce the results of the scrimmage.

Pulis calmly stated, "This is the intensity I want; this is the only way we can stay in the Premier League."

"Both sides committed fouls, but I'm not sure what the referee could see from his perspective. I'm more inclined to believe the defense was successful."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shawcross, standing still, clenched his fist and roared, "Yes!"

Goodjohnsen's armor penetration value +1

Sun Yu smiled and straightened his shirt. He had no objection to Pris's evaluation criteria.

What he just witnessed matched his preconceived notions about the Premier League from his previous life.

Sun Yu discovered an interesting phenomenon: Price and Shawcross got along very well.

Both men were fiercely competitive; Price was used to confronting the world with a tough attitude, while Shawcross would rather die than admit defeat.

Strangely enough, these two strong-willed people could get along harmoniously.

However, the medieval Johannsen had a kind of feeling that once he put on a long gown, he couldn't take it off.

Ricardo Fowler, fearing Sun Yu would lose face, laughed and said loudly, "Kid, there's nothing we can do, that's the Premier League."

"You took the drastic approach first, so you can't blame anyone else. However, your growth rate is much faster than we expected!"

As Ricardo Fowler finished speaking, everyone around him laughed, even Pris nodded with a smile.

Goodjohnsen's armor penetration value +1

Sun Yu smiled and spread his hands: "That makes sense, but I think that since it's a back-to-the-basket ball protection drill, the way the ball is passed should be more advantageous to the ball protector."

"Like that ball just now, it should have been lobbed behind the defense."

Ricardo Fowler immediately started joking, "This kid's got some serious taste!"

Sun Yu discovered that Ricardo Fowler was a remarkable person; he could always lighten the mood with just a few words.

Huilan nodded: "No problem, I'll pass it on depending on the situation."

"But let me make this clear first: if we don't think of the same thing, don't blame me if you lose."

Sun Yu gave a thumbs up: "No problem, let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shawcross stepped forward again, trying to pin Sun Yu down with his shoulder.

Sun Yu nudged him and decisively took two steps back.

When Shawcross saw Whelan trying to pass the ball behind him, he quickly turned around.

But just as he turned around, Sun Yu suddenly ran two steps forward, and Hui Lan seized the opportunity to pass Sun Yu a low cross.

Sun Yu immediately dribbled the ball towards the wing and then brought it forward to the front of the field.

When Shawcross caught up, he brought the ball back.

This somewhat unsportsmanlike style of play infuriated Shawcross, who chased after him and launched a brutal tackle.

But Sun Yu, who was shielding the ball from the side, didn't try to fight him head-on. Instead, he dribbled the ball in the direction of the impact, thus dissipating the force of the collision.

The two struggled on the lawn for seven or eight seconds without a result, then Pulis blew his whistle: "Sun Yu wins."

Sun Yu, mimicking Shawcross, swung his fist forcefully and shouted, "Yes!"

This action drew laughter from his teammates. Shawcross, after the laughter subsided, asked in confusion, "I heard Slade voluntarily terminated your contract?"

"I don't understand. Someone with your skill level can sell for nearly a million pounds without even using it."

After speaking, Shawcross extended his right hand to Sun Yu.

Sun Yu smiled and shook hands with the other person: "I used to play center back, but I played terribly. Not everyone can discover the strengths of others."

Pulis chuckled and replied, "He was recommended by Andrew (Townsend). That guy has a sharp eye. I plan to start Sun Yu in the second round of the League Cup."

Upon hearing Pulis's words, Sun Yu was overjoyed, but he tried his best to suppress his emotions and put on an expression that said, "That's how it should be."

Most Premier League teams will play in the second round of the League Cup, and they are usually drawn against lower-league teams.

Isn't that much easier than playing against Arsenal's reserve team?

Shawcross nodded: "With that kind of ball control, he could probably last half an hour against Leyton Orient."

He couldn't help but burst out laughing after he finished speaking.

Ricardo Fowler led the laughter, but after everyone had laughed, he suddenly put on a serious face, pointed at Sun Yu, and said, "I've noticed that you two really like him, but I'm the best center on the team right now. We'll see."

After saying that, he glanced at Goodjohnsen again: "Brother, hurry up and get hard, you don't have much time left."

Goodjohnsen's armor penetration value +3

A football team is also a workplace, and Sun Yu found that it was actually difficult to integrate into Stoke City.

The reason I am accepted is entirely because I am the kind of person that everyone recognizes.

Gudjohnsen tried to act like a veteran, but the team made fun of him in various ways.

After the morning training session ended, everyone noticed that Sun Yu had an unusually large appetite.

In Ricardo Fowler's words, "This kid can eat a whole Goodjohnsen in one sitting."

Goodjohnsen's armor penetration value +10

Upon learning that he had become a food unit, "Old Gu" was devastated.

A few minutes later, Sun Yu suddenly received a system notification:

Slade's armor penetration value +83

Slade is providing herself with "emotional value" again.

And they're so generous!

Logically speaking, he had already given quite a lot yesterday. Based on Sun Yu's understanding, his "mentor" wasn't that sentimental.

Arriving at the training base in the afternoon, Sun Yu spent a long time rummaging through the newspapers and magazines before finally finding the answer in the Daily Star.

Leyton Orient manager's misjudgment caused the club to lose five million pounds!

Sun Yu picked up the newspaper and read it through, then suddenly laughed.

No wonder Slade gave so much; the Daily Star reporter went too far!
