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

"What a fucking awful attitude!"

Sun Yu grew angrier the more he thought about it. If the other party showed some attitude and sincerity, he would definitely consider it seriously.

But the other party's attitude was really awful, and they even sounded like they were pitying me.

I'm hanging up the system and I need your pity.

No need!

That's amazing!

Sun Yu was well aware that this national football team didn't even make it to the final ten rounds of the World Cup qualifiers.

With this kind of performance, they don't even qualify for the World Cup, let alone qualify for a meal.

Ten minutes later, Sun Yu received another system notification:

[Gao Cangbo's defense penetration value +70]

Coach Gao panicked too; his mental fortitude is so poor!

If he were truly an honest and upright person, how could he possibly give 70 points right away?

This is what happens when you try to show off but fail.

To be honest, tournaments like the East Asian Four Nations Tournament and the Asian Cup are often considered meaningless because they are held during the season, wasting energy and affecting club matches.

Sun Yu had been thinking about this issue for a while, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

And in such a disgusting way.

Sun Yu was not convinced!

Serving the country is something that will happen sooner or later, but not now.

If you try too hard, all you'll get is contempt and alienation.

If you want your buddy to go, you must do so with respect and humility.

If we can't do it now, then we'll figure out what to do when we're on a roll.

The next day, the players who had been playing in international matches gradually returned to the team.

Sun Yu felt that his teammates, who had returned from the international competition day, had all experienced long flights and were exhausted both physically and mentally.

Although Sun Yu's training intensity has been very high these days, he is eating well, sleeping soundly, and is in top condition.

The most outrageous case is Okpoye from the reserve team, who was selected to play in a friendly match for Nigeria's U19 team.

Unexpectedly, the coaching staff there contacted him and said they would only let him play if he paid $2000.

So this guy paid to play for half an hour...

Okoboer said it was his only savings, as he earned only £200 a week in Stoke City.

It's so dark!

That's fucking black!

Sun Yu gave him 500 pounds and some profound life advice: "If you want to gain respect, you must become stronger."

"You will only earn respect when you are strong enough. This year may be your only chance to change your life."

After hearing Sun Yu's words, Okboye burst into tears.

Sun Yu didn't recall ever hearing of such a person. Since they were teammates, helping this kid out would be a way to make a good connection.

Hopefully, he'll amount to something in the future, at least becoming a Championship player, lying on the grass covered in money, leaving behind a photo that shows him in good gear.

He doesn't even earn enough in a month to blur his face in photos.

On the way back to the apartment, Sun Yu sang at the top of his lungs in the car: "Today, only a tattered shell remains!"

"Welcome to the glorious years!"

"Embrace freedom amidst the storm!"

"A lifetime... cough cough, that's too high."

During afternoon training, Sun Yu ran into Okpoye again at the entrance of the training base.

The kid had clearly forgotten the previous unpleasantness, and was smiling and waving at Sun Yu from his bicycle.

Even after Sun Yu drove into the inner circle of the training base, Okoboye was still looking in his direction in the rearview mirror.

Sun Yu is a high-energy person. He can fall asleep no matter what happens, and wake up full of energy again.

Before training even started, Sun Yu was already joking with his teammates.

"Wolters, you old bastard, you've wasted two games, not even scoring against Andorra. Were you even playing seriously?"

Walters rolled his eyes at Sun Yu: "I spent the night with the last three Miss Andorra contestants the day before the match. Are you satisfied now?"

Sun Yu clapped his hands and laughed, "Satisfied, satisfied. If you really had that much energy, you probably wouldn't live past forty-five."

He turned and patted Mark Wilson on the shoulder: "Not bad! A winning start in the European Championship qualifiers. I bet Northern Ireland can beat Italy..."

Just as Mark Wilson was grinning from ear to ear, Sun Yu added, "They finished last in their group."

Mark Wilson's defense penetration value +1

Collins's defense penetration value +1

Sun Yu turned around and patted Collins on the shoulder: "Just kidding, I wish you all the best in advancing."

"I really envy you guys, Shawcross."

Shawcross's armor penetration value +40

What the hell!

What's going on?

The cycad is blooming!

So that's where this guy's sore spot is.

Shawcross shoved Sun Yu: "You're no different. The Chinese team would rather lose than have you."

Sun Yu smiled and shook his head: "That's different. Nobody in China knows me, but everyone in Britain knows you."

Shawcross's armor penetration value +30

Whoops!

This kid has no self-control when it comes to this!

But such topics are very sensitive, and Sun Yu estimates that if he mentions Shawcross again, it will cause an uproar.

With two days left before the start of the fourth round of the Premier League, Sun Yu was suddenly summoned to Pulis's office.

Pulis didn't let Sun Yu sit down, and leaned back in his chair to scrutinize him.

After a standoff of seven or eight seconds, Sun Yu couldn't take it anymore and cut to the chase: "Boss, are you thinking of putting me in the starting lineup?"

[Pris's defense penetration value +50]

The two fell silent again, and Sun Yu tried to reconstruct Pulis's mental journey based on the number of defense penetration values.

Pulis probably felt that his first Premier League start needed to be ceremonial, or that he wanted to leave an unforgettable impression on himself.

This guy was originally the kind of serious, old-fashioned man who wanted to act as a strict teacher in front of the young man, hoping to further subdue Sun Yu.

However, this guy probably overlooked one thing: with only two days left until the competition, he couldn't come up with any more tricks.

He's already played enough as a substitute, so going to the reserve team is unlikely, and excluding himself from the 18-man roster doesn't make sense.

So there's only one real answer: first place.

After a few seconds, Pulis composed himself and nodded calmly: "That's right, I'm not just planning to, I've already made a decision."

"I originally wanted to observe your mindset before making a decision, but now it seems completely unnecessary."

Sun Yu noticed a very interesting phenomenon: his head coach only had two states when evaluating things: "yes" and "no," with no "maybe." To put it bluntly, he was a binary system.

Trust is a long diagonal pole, with Sun Yu on this side and Goodjohnsen on the other.

Of course, to put it more nicely, it means trusting those you employ and not employing those you don't trust.

Pulis continued to explain the situation to Sun Yu: "We will be playing Aston Villa at home in the fourth round. Their midfielders and forwards are very strong offensively, but their two defenders are slow to turn and their goalkeeper is very old."

"Neither team can stop the other's offense, so we need to dominate them at home. My goal is to take all three points."

Sun Yu understood that his mission was to manipulate the aircraft carrier and "take down the old man," which was his specialty.

Just then, the system issued a notification sound:

[New mission announced: First Premier League start and victory]

[Mission Reward: Cruyff Turn]

What the hell!

Sun Yu even doubted that he had heard correctly!

Why are Cruyff's skills suddenly appearing?

Are there really that many benefits in the newbie village?
