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

With the signing of the contract with Stoke City, Sun Yu finally has some money in his hands.

For the past three years, Sun Yu has been barely making ends meet with his weekly wage of £200, and he can only afford to eat in the canteen every day.

The original owner of this body had always accepted financial support from her parents, but Sun Yu refused their support after transmigrating.

Firstly, since parents earn RMB, it's inherently less cost-effective for them to spend in pounds.

Even if the other party transfers 10,000 yuan to me every month, it won't increase my spending power; instead, it will only add unnecessary burden to them.

Secondly, Sun Yu believed he had the ability to create enough wealth.

Although Sun Yu's current income is only considered a small fortune among professional players in England, it is already considered a high-income group in the UK.

So after deducting taxes and broker's commission, the £5 signing fee left him with just over £2.

However, this was enough for him to live a good life.

Sun Yu thought his free transfer to Stoke City wouldn't cause a ripple, but he underestimated the entertainment value of the English media.

The Sun, having somehow obtained information about Sun Yu, embellished the story and created a dramatic tale within a single day, which they then included in their sports gossip section.

The story says that Sun Yu was forced to play center-back to meet the head coach's requirements due to the high attrition rate in youth training, when in fact he really wanted to play center forward.

Sun Yu has been working hard to improve his physical fitness in order to play as a center forward and strive to become a target man, so his center-back skills have not improved significantly.

After taking over as head coach of Leyton Orient, Slade, who came from a youth training background, immediately promoted Sun Yu to the first team, but did not believe that he could become a center forward.

A rift gradually developed between the two sides, and when Slade discovered that Sun Yu had spent £15 on meals over three years when the club was in financial straits, he was dismissed.

Unexpectedly, Sun Yu had already caught the eye of Stoke City, who invited him to a trial immediately after he was laid off.

Slade was filled with remorse upon learning this. He wanted Sun Yu to return to Leyton East, but Sun Yu had already lost contact with him.

After reading this story, Sun Yu realized that the reason why The Sun had been able to dominate the top of the British sales charts for 33 consecutive years was not as simple as Page 3 girls "pregnant on the job".

The secret to this newspaper's success is actually quite simple: it completely abandons serious news and transforms all information into sensational news, sports gossip, royal scandals, and entertainment gossip.

Before training, Sun Yu took the newspaper from assistant coach Mark Robbins and received Slade's emotional feedback from the system before noon.

Slade's armor penetration value +45

Haha, this guy usually looks so serious, but I never expected him to be secretly watching Page 3 girls.

From this perspective, Slade could definitely become a long-term source of income for him on his path to becoming stronger.

Sun Yu plans to provoke the other party every now and then.

Compared to the English media's commercialization of everything, the Chinese media's understanding of football proves the rationality of the national team's ranking from another perspective.

An editor at Titan Sports Weekly, who rose through the ranks based on seniority, first quoted parts of an article from The Sun in his column, briefly introducing Sun Yu's background in three sentences before launching into his opinion: "In an era where world football increasingly emphasizes ball control, footwork skills will inevitably become the stepping stone to becoming a professional player..."

After stating his point, he changed the subject: "Football is like life; only by mastering the fundamentals can you steer your life in the right direction..."

Sun Yu felt that this editor must have read a lot of "Yilin" magazine.

To put it bluntly, if they were to practice possession-based football, the Stoke City squad would be far more likely to execute it than the Chinese national team.

At least Stoke City would be able to play possession-based football against the Chinese national team.

On the first day of training, Sun Yu had prepared himself mentally, but the intensity of the training at Stoke City still amazed him.

When introducing Sun Yu to the team, Pulis kept it very simple: "This kid is the first player we brought in this season, and he's a tough one."

"I don't care about a player's past; I only care about whether he can help the team."

"I believe he will introduce himself through his actions in the upcoming training sessions."

Amidst the sparse applause, Sun Yu said with a smile, "The boss is right. Before training begins, any self-introduction is unnecessary."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jamaican center Ricardo Fowler immediately chimed in: "We've seen countless arrogant kids like you over the years."

"You'll soon realize that you're just a joke Tony is telling everyone."

Amidst laughter, Priss shook his head helplessly.

Sun Yu sized up the guy who had been spouting sleazy nonsense as soon as he entered the locker room.

Ricardo Fowler was a key player in Stoke City's promotion to the Premier League and scored 11 goals in the team's first season in the Premier League, making him a veteran.

Sun Yu didn't intend to confront him; he would just find an opportunity to deal with him.

"He was looking at me like I was a colt, which made me feel discriminated against, haha!"

Ricardo Fowler was still laughing and joking, the black players were laughing so hard they were doubled over, and the white players were just awkwardly laughing.

The first training exercise was a two-person ball-grabbing game.

This training method is very brutal. The coach throws the football to any position, and the two players who are vying for it must first have a physical confrontation before fighting for the football.

Pulis said in a calm voice, "Sun Yu and Ricardo will start, and there will be ten groups in total."

The two walked toward the training area, and Ricardo Fowler, who is also 1.91 meters tall, also became serious.

Before the two could get ready, the soccer ball had already been thrown in front of them.

Sun Yu took the lead, but Ricardo Fowler, with great experience, blocked Sun Yu's path with his arm and then used his body to firmly block him.

The two ran together for more than ten meters, with Ricardo Fowler always shielding Sun Yu behind him.

But just as he was about to touch the ball, Sun Yu suddenly stretched his left leg out in front of him, clamped his legs together, and forcefully rotated him to the left.

Ricardo Fowler suddenly lost his balance and tumbled sideways onto the lawn.

Sun Yu didn't care about any rules; he just couldn't let this guy take advantage of him in the slightest.

Sun Yu stomped the ball under his foot, and Pulis immediately announced, "Sun Yu scores."

what?

Sun Yu thought this action was already outrageous, but he didn't expect that Pulis's judging standards were even more outrageous.

Ricardo Fowler helplessly spread his hands: "Is this football or UFC?"

Pulis immediately retorted, "He's smarter than you. In football, if the referee doesn't blow the whistle, it's a good goal."

Sun Yu immediately added insult to injury: "So you weren't prepared at all!"

[Ricardo Fowler's armor penetration value +1]

马克.罗宾斯立刻发令：「5、4、3、2、1！」

As soon as the countdown ended, the coaching staff threw a soccer ball into the air.

Ricardo Fowler determined the route and started immediately.

But before he could run a single step, Sun Yu had already rushed in front of him.

The two jumped into the air one after the other. Ricardo Fowler, having lost the initiative, forcefully rammed his body into Sun Yu.

Before losing his balance, Sun Yu forcefully swung his head, smashing the football into the goal.

Wow!

Even several header experts were amazed by this sight.

Pulis: "Sun Yu scores."

Ricardo Fowler spread his hands: "He started moving as soon as the ball left his hand; he's a gambler."

Sun Yu landed, staggered a few steps, but managed not to fall. He said to Ricardo Fowler, "If this kind of shot is repeated a hundred times, I guarantee I'll beat you 95 times."

Upon seeing the system notification, Sun Yu couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

[Points: 112/1000]

Judging from this, it won't be long before we know what effect will be triggered when the points reach 1000.
