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

With Bale's goal, the Tottenham fans in the away stands erupted in cheers.

Inside the Stoke City penalty area, captain Shawcross, his face contorted with rage, loudly rallied his teammates.

The Stoke City players were furious. They had been dominating their opponents, only to have a goal stolen from them. Everyone was cursing under their breath.

In the media area, Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler announced in an excited voice, "Gares opened the scoring for Tottenham in the nineteenth minute."

"This young man was very determined in his goal just now. He is physically strong and has powerful legs. He is more aggressive than last season."

"The Tottenham players should be very happy with this start; they didn't have many chances before the goal!"

Conceding a goal when you have the advantage is indeed disgusting, but that's the Premier League, and it's something every Tottenham opponent will encounter.

Although Tottenham's raw talent would make them no contender for the Premier League title, they are arguably the most nasty Premier League team in the Champions League zone.

Their defense has two very good English center-backs: the left-back is Hector, who can push Bale to the bench, and the right-back is the versatile Corluka.

In the middle lane, there are two muscular players, Huddlestone and Palacios, with the tireless Jenas by their side.

Both Bale and Lennon on the flanks are speed-based explosives, while Crouch, who is 2 meters tall, is at the very front.

Tottenham Hotspur were able to beat Manchester City to qualify for the Champions League last season because they were able to field a squad of comparable strength.

Sun Yu learned in detail about Tottenham's signings this season, including the acquisitions of Van der Vaart, Modric, and Gallas.

Modric, Walker and Rose were on the Tottenham bench, and Redknapp had fielded a muscular lineup specifically to counter Stoke City.

But Stoke City, playing at home, were no pushovers, and they continued to dominate Tottenham after the restart.

They continued to bombard Tottenham's goal with their dominant physical attributes.

In the 26th minute, Stoke City won two consecutive corner kicks, and Ricardo Fowler, the team's top scorer last season, headed the ball into the net.

1:1.

The moment Ricardo Fowler scored, Sun Yu excitedly stood up from his seat and shouted towards the field, "Ricardo, well done!"

Stoke City equalized just seven minutes after conceding a goal and began to dominate Tottenham.

The goal seemed to give the Stoke City players a shot in the arm, and they pressed their opponents aggressively after the restart.

Tottenham players lost their composure after gradually losing possession, failing to hold onto the ball in midfield and conceding most of the goals.

In the 32nd minute, Stoke City almost changed the score.

Ricardo Fowler headed the ball to Walters in the penalty area, who, in a near one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper, unleashed a powerful shot.

Upon seeing this, all the Stoke City fans stood up from their seats.

Wolters squandered this easy opportunity, almost kicking the ball off the field.

"Holy crap, are you kidding me?!"

Amidst the sighs of the Stoke City fans, Sun Yu clutched his head in regret, muttering, "Would it kill you to be a little gentler?!"

Brute!

What a brute!

Sun Yu was no stranger to Walters; this guy later frequently appeared in Lezi Video.

In his 100th Premier League appearance, Walters scored two own goals and then blew a penalty into the stands before the final whistle, leading the English media to call him "the unluckiest man in the Premier League".

In order to transfer to Stoke City, he challenged former Manchester United legend Roy Keane to a one-on-one duel in the locker room, which led to the transfer being finalized.

This guy would be a big name even in Stoke City; he's incredibly reckless.

Pulis, standing directly in front, ripped off his hat and slammed it onto the grass: "Fuck, how did he do that?!"

Walters, having missed his chance, held his head in his hands and stared ahead with an incredulous expression.

His teammates didn't blame him; instead, they all went up to comfort him.

A football commentator in the media area remarked, "Stoke City created six scoring opportunities today, but only converted one."

"They're a bit too impatient; they're always squandering opportunities and they'll probably be punished."

This guy never expected his lament to turn into a "curse." Tottenham lost possession in midfield before the end of the first half. Stoke City's midfield pushed forward, but Whiteside's shot hit a defender.

Tottenham passed the ball to Lennon on the right side of midfield. The Tottenham right winger dribbled all the way and, after encountering a defense, passed the ball to Jenas.

Jenas delivered a 45-degree cross into the penalty area, Crouch won the first header over Shawcross and headed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Bale made a late run and once again breached Stoke City's goal.

1:2.

broken!

Sun Yu discovered a problem: Bale most likely didn't suddenly find confidence from Inter Milan.

He had been laying the groundwork for that match since the beginning of the season, and the three goals he scored against Inter Milan were a replica of the earlier matches.

After Bale scored twice, his teammates gave him their full trust.

Stoke City launched another attack, and Tottenham players were trying to find ways to pass the ball to Bale.

As Pulis said, Bale constantly drops back to receive the ball and then creates opportunities for the team through his breakthroughs.

In the final minutes of the first half, Tottenham players began to slowly create opportunities and organized several decent attacks.

At halftime, Stoke City went into the locker room trailing by one goal.

Shawcross shouted, "We're playing perfectly fine, this is how we play!"

"Even if we lose the first three rounds, I will not give up. I have never doubted our performance this season!"

Under his leadership, Stoke City players expressed their determination to fight Tottenham to the bitter end.

Pulis immediately gave the team a targeted tactic: "They only have Gareth as an attacking threat on this pitch. If he gets the ball, we need to wear him down as much as possible."

"After sixty minutes, I will substitute Sun Yu. We will decide the outcome with them in the last thirty minutes."

Pulis's strategy was simple: have the players take turns targeting Bale, and then switch to a one-on-one mode when Sun Yu came on.

Sun Yu patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I'll wear him down when I'm on the court, and by the end of the game I'll be making him walk back to the locker room leaning against the wall."

Amidst laughter, Sun Yu began to analyze Bale's dribbling habits based on the Tottenham match replays he had watched over the past few days and the first half.

He studied Bale for three or four days and watched seven or eight of his opponents' matches, and finally figured out a bit of the trick.

After Bale attempted a breakthrough at the start of the second half but was fouled and did not continue.

Tottenham players played a simple game after getting the ball, making long passes to Crouch.

Both sides were locked in a midfield battle, neither engaging in short passes, and both had opportunities to launch long balls directly to the attacking third.

Sixty minutes into the game, Tottenham players suddenly switched their attacking mode, with Bale frequently receiving the ball on the left side.

Whenever he encounters Delap, he immediately forces a breakthrough, and Tottenham is also wearing down Stoke City's key players.

Sun Yu understood: Tottenham was conserving Bale's energy so that they could launch a full-scale attack after sixty minutes and try to secure the victory.

Seeing Delap sprinting and then clutching his thighs, Pulis called Sun Yu, who was warming up, to his side.

"You take Glen (Whelan) off, put Lowry (Drape) in his position, and Jon (Walters) in right midfield."

"You win the first ball behind Ricardo, and when you're defending, you double-team Gareth."

It was a complicated positional switch; Pulis actually made three adjustments in order to keep the team's key player, Delap, on the field.

When Sun Yu came on, Stoke City fans immediately gave him a warm round of applause.

Stoke City is basically a small town, and most fans know the players pretty well.

The media commentators, however, looked completely bewildered: "Stoke City brought on a 19-year-old Chinese center forward. The correct pronunciation of his name should be Sun Yu."

"To be honest, I'm not very familiar with him. The information says he transferred from Leyton Orient to Stoke City on a free transfer."

"He played in two reserve team matches, scoring a total of 5 goals and providing 2 assists."

"His stats are amazing, let's see what happens next."

Sun Yu immediately moved to the right after coming on, just in time to catch Bale receiving the ball on the left wing.

After controlling the ball, Bale did not rush to accelerate. He dribbled the ball slowly and deliberately. When Sun Yu was only one meter away from him, he suddenly used his right foot to pull the ball behind Sun Yu.

Sun Yu thought to himself, "This guy's playing style is really predictable!"

Everything is under control!

Sun Yu suddenly stepped on the grass between Bale and the ball, then blocked Bale with his body, and then stretched out his right leg to step on the ball.

Henry's ball control technique!

Bale was a little embarrassed, so he reached out and pulled Sun Yu down, and the home fans immediately started booing him.

Sun Yu got up, pressed his face against Bale's, and said disdainfully, "You play pretty dirty!"

"You think you're a star just because you scored two goals?"

Bell: "..."

[Bell's defense penetration value +5]

Ha ha.

It feels like I've figured out the key to getting "emotional value" from Bell.

The newbie village mini-boss, let's hurt each other!
