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

"Congratulations to Stoke City for their 3-1 home win against Aston Villa in the fourth round of the Premier League."

"After the fourth round, Stoke City are in fourth place in the Premier League with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, accumulating 7 points."

"Although only four rounds of the Premier League have been played, the current standings are not very meaningful."

"But Tony Pulis and his players have every reason to be happy, as they have achieved the club's highest ranking in Premier League history."

"Sun Yu once again became the key figure in this game. He first forced Dunn to score an own goal, and then seized on Friedel's mistake to score the go-ahead goal for the team."

"Don't forget, this is his first Premier League start, and he should be enjoying his time at Stoke City."

Inside the stadium, Sun Yu and his teammates circled the field to thank the fans, who sang the team song with deep emotion.

The lyrics are very simple, even more straightforward than Stoke City's tactics.

The lyrics roughly translate to "Young men in red and white battle robes, you will succeed, today you are our glory, we are with you."

The lyrics are not very coherent, giving the impression of being disjointed and haphazard.

In particular, the lyric "Everything will be alright" made Sun Yu a little unable to hold back.

Isn't that a lyric from Mayday?

But even with this catchy but somewhat cheesy song, Stoke City fans still enjoy it immensely.

This shows that even a piece of foot-binding cloth can become part of one's cultural heritage if it can be passed down for three to five generations.

The stadium's announcement system broadcasted again: "Congratulations to Sun Yu for being named the best player of the match."

The singing in the stadium immediately turned into cheers, and Sky Sports reporters quickly located Sun Yu.

This time they wanted to dredge up the old story of Leyton Orient, but Sun Yu just smiled and said, "I don't want to talk about this anymore. It's all in the past. I wish Russell and Leyton Orient all the best."

Sun Yu's purpose in taking advantage of Slade's reputation in front of the media was simple: to accumulate points for breaking through defenses.

But if you look at the details, you'll find that Slade is actually an honest person.

He simply lacked the keen insight to discover his own potential, but that's understandable.

If he were that capable, he could at least be managing a Championship team by now.

Sun Yu has now found a new way to accumulate points, and his "mentor" has thus completed his historical mission.

Slade's next step is to become a regular guest on various talk shows and then charge consulting fees for each special program about herself.

As long as he understands the principles of sustainable development, every little bit of information he receives will turn Sun Yu's story into his future annuity.

If Sun Yu continues to harass those who are down on their luck, his influence will soon reach a point where it could affect their careers.

Stopping at this point shows perfect timing and restraint.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Sun Yu excitedly opened the data panel.

Agility: 77; Physical Fitness: 93; Explosiveness: 82

[Footwork Strength: 93; Strength Combat: 95; Jumping Ability: 91]

Speed: 81; Dribbling: 44; Tackling: 50; Tackle: 48

[Vision: 49; Off-the-ball movement: 42; Defensive positioning: 43; Ball control: 62]

Passing: 49; Shooting: 57; Heading: 100; Free Kick: 39

Exclusive Skill:

1. Henry's ball protection technique.

2. Cruyff's little trick.

Compared to when he first activated the system, Sun Yu's abilities have improved significantly, if not drastically different.

Compared to his technical skills, Sun Yu's physical abilities are still growing the fastest.

Explosiveness and speed have both improved slightly, but the rate of technical improvement is relatively average.

Besides a significant improvement in shooting ability, his off-the-ball movement and passing have also shown some progress.

But not many.

Sun Yu also discovered something: whenever an ability is just one step away from a ten-digit improvement, it becomes very difficult to further enhance it.

This confirms his earlier prediction when he increased the number of shots from 49 to 51; each change in the tens digit of the data is equivalent to a qualitative change.

Vision, passing, and free kicks are all locked at this value, even if the value is very low, it is still very tightly locked.

This principle is similar to the power levels in fantasy novels. If your physical body isn't strong, you'll have to go through a lot of trials to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, something ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Similarly, professional club youth players may have weak stats, but they would dominate among elite amateur players.

Because the data and standards used by professional players are designed to measure their abilities, there is absolutely no basis for comparison with amateur players.

After reviewing the attributes, Sun Yu focused his attention on the skills.

The system's skill names have a strong Putian-style feel to them; they look like high-quality imitations no matter how you look at them.

Both "Henry's ball protection is great" and "Cruyff's little tricks" have a strong element of satire.

Sun Yu couldn't figure out whether the system was being humorous or mocking him.

But no matter what, as long as it works, that's fine.

"Cruyff's Little Trick" still includes a written explanation.

Use cases: close marking in narrow areas on the flanks or receiving the ball sideways in the middle.

Ability requirements: Both dominant and non-dominant feet must be able to connect the ball with a flick and spike; otherwise, the success rate will be greatly reduced.

Key points of the move: The distance of the dribble should not be too large, and the angle of the twitch should be moderate. Make sure the ball stays on your own path; otherwise, there is no point in using this move.

Note: This trick doesn't require overwhelming speed in movement, but rather relies on rhythmic contrast.

The key is to read the defensive player's balance changes. You need to stay calm under close marking. It's a seemingly insignificant psychological battle, but in reality, it's a grand psychological game for the brave.

Without sufficient mental fortitude, even with all the necessary abilities, one cannot flexibly apply this move in actual combat; after all, not everyone is Cruyff.

Of course, explosive power is key to getting rid of your opponent after you complete the move.

Core competencies: agility, explosiveness, ball control, and physical strength.

After reading the skill description, Sun Yu was surprised that such an inconspicuous skill would have so many intricacies.

Watching Cruyff dribble past opponents in videos, it feels like he's playing a game.

I didn't expect there to be so many requirements when it comes to other people.

Is this the huge gap between geniuses and ordinary people?

Cruyff's casual tricks were a pinnacle that most people could never reach in their entire lives.

Fortunately, I already knew how to do it.

Although Sun Yu had never used this action before, he felt a deep sense of empathy after reading the written explanation.

Is this the advantage of being a cheater?

Sun Yu took the champagne back, only to have it all gone in half a minute by his teammates.

Those who wanted a taste couldn't get any. Sun Yu repeatedly emphasized that he didn't need any, but he was sprayed all over himself.

As everyone left the stadium, Pulis continued to give various interviews with great interest, showing no sign of impatience.

That's easy to understand. Giving an interview after winning a game is like having a group of people watching him brag.

This atmosphere provides him with emotional value and is a form of enjoyment.

Sun Yu returned home and began watching "Highlights of the Games" with great interest.

Manchester United drew 3-3 with Everton. The Red Devils once led by two goals, but conceded two goals in stoppage time to equalize. Ferguson then turned on the pitch with a "hairdryer".

Chelsea defeated West Ham United 3-1 to maintain their top spot in the league standings, while Arsenal beat Bolton 4-1 to rank second in the Premier League.

Manchester City, Liverpool, and Tottenham all failed to win, proving the world's most intense league to be true to its name. No wonder Stoke City managed to climb to fourth place in the Premier League.

Even if they only stay in this position for a week, they are still a legitimate Champions League team.

Sun Yu, with three goals in four rounds, is tied for first place on the top scorer list with Drogba, Walcott and Anelka.

That's what you call prestige!

Just as Sun Yu was engrossed in his "great data" and couldn't pull himself away, his phone suddenly rang.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Yu answered the call from an unfamiliar number.

Anyway, phone scams are child's play for him these days.

The call connected, and the person on the other end spoke with a perfect London accent: "Hello, are you Sun Yu?"

Sun Yu: "Is it... or not?"

[Alex Horn's armor penetration +3]

Sun Yu immediately smiled and said, "Hehe, just kidding. Please introduce yourself."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, then the person continued, "Please forgive me for not being able to contact you during your training, as this matter is still confidential."

"My name is Alex Horn, and I am the Chief Executive Officer of the Football Association. My main responsibility is to coordinate the selection and selection of the British Olympic men's football team. My task is to select the preliminary list of the British team's head coach and players within one year."

"You have been shortlisted for the British Olympic team. Would you like to participate in the selection process?"

"Once you're selected..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Yu said calmly, "Wait, what was your last question?"

[Alex Horn's armor penetration +10]

"Would you be willing to be selected for the England men's national football team?"

Sun Yu: "Not this one, the previous one."

[Alex Horn's armor penetration +5]

"Are you Sun Yu?"

Sun Yu replied in a flat voice, "No, you've got the wrong person. Goodbye."

Sun Yu turned off his phone and received another system notification.

[Alex Horn's armor penetration +50]

What a load of bullshit, CEO! Sun Yu hates this pretentious position the most.

And with such a bad temper, he handed over a bunch of defense-breaking points before I even finished three sentences.

Whether I'm still willing to accept the selection or not, I'm not British.

If you're going to play, it should be for the national team. Instead, you come out and shamelessly claim you meet the standards, as if the British are gods.

Pooh!
