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

Sun Yu originally thought that playing Manchester United today would be difficult.

But after one round against Evans, he felt he should be fine.

Even if Stoke City can't beat Manchester United, he can still get Evans.

Manchester United may appear to have only three defenders in their backline, but in reality, they have five defenders during the defensive process.

Both Bebe and Obertan would drop back to the defensive line to help with the defense.

From this perspective, Manchester United actually has an extra center-back in their defense.

Among the other players, Irving, who has lost his speed, seems to lack any vitality.

Now, apart from trying to get under the armpits of defenders, he has basically lost the ability to get rid of defenders when he gets the ball alone.

Before the start of last season, this once-promising young man was in a situation where he couldn't find a new club when his contract with Newcastle expired.

In order to find a job, Owen made a PowerPoint presentation and sent it to many English clubs.

Just when he thought he would be out of playing time, Manchester United offered him a contract.

As it turns out, Owen did not disappoint Ferguson. He scored the winning goal against Manchester City in the Manchester derby, and for that goal alone, signing him was worthwhile.

Compared to Irving, Giggs, who has been juggling the responsibilities of his wife and siblings for years, remains as strong as ever.

This veteran, who became a key rotation player for Manchester United at just seventeen years old, has been involved in all of Manchester United's titles to date.

As a world-class winger, Giggs once scored a goal against Arsenal's entire defense in the FA Cup final.

He began his transformation at the age of 26, gradually changing from a speed-oriented winger to an organizing winger, and then switching to midfield when he could no longer run.

These days, there are far fewer players who can still play for top clubs at the age of 37 than there will be in a decade or two.

Sun Yu heard that Giggs was extremely disciplined in both his diet and lifestyle in order to prolong his career.

Manchester United's squad is full of exceptional talent; during Evans' youth academy years, four Premier League-caliber center-backs emerged in the two years prior to and following his arrival.

Besides him, there are also Pique, Shawcross, and Cathcart, all four of whom are considered mainstays of the team.

Even more remarkably, none of the other three players could compete with Evans, and Ferguson was grooming him to be a world-class center-back.

However, Evans is always getting minor injuries, and he doesn't seem to be very mentally strong.

Smalling was groomed to be Ferdinand's successor, but he seems very impetuous.

Ahead of them is Anderson, the Golden Ball winner of the U-17 World Cup. Manchester United spent £20 million to buy him three years ago, but he now clearly prefers McDonald's.

To be honest, this lineup is more than enough to beat a mid-table Premier League club, but Stoke City is clearly not an ordinary club.

In the 22nd minute, Stoke City won a throw-in on the right side of the attacking third.

Sun Yu specifically ran over to Delap and gave him a word of advice: "I'm standing at the edge of the six-yard box at the near post. Try to throw the ball towards me."

Delap raised his head proudly and said, "Sir, as you wish."

Sun Yu originally wanted to complain that Delap was like a parking attendant, but considering that the other party had a big job, he could only reluctantly say, "When it comes to being awesome, you are the best."

Like a knight of a noble family, Delap proudly accepted the towel handed to him by the ball boy on the live broadcast and repeatedly wiped the football with the same meticulous care as wiping expensive utensils.

Ten seconds later, Delap started from the GG sign with the soccer ball in his hand. He clearly lowered his head at the moment of throwing, and the result was that the soccer ball he threw was no different from the one he kicked.

The football is indeed coming towards us!

Sun Yu used his body to block Evans behind him, while the Stoke City players used their bodies to block other defenders, creating a brief one-on-one opportunity for Sun Yu.

The football flew toward Sun Yu's chest in a very short time. Instead of trying to stop the ball, Sun Yu kept using his body to push Evans behind him.

In the time it took for the football to fly towards him, Sun Yu pushed Evans nearly two meters.

next moment!

The football hit Sun Yu squarely in the chest. He continued to push backward, and just as the ball was falling, he suddenly turned and unleashed a powerful shot.

Bang!

A loud bang!

[Evans's defensive penetration value +50]

Goalkeeper Kuzczak reached out to block, but Sun Yu's shot was too close!

The goalkeeper had no chance to make the save and no time to react.

The football hit the goalkeeper's arm and deflected into the goal.

1 is better than 0!

[Evans's defensive penetration value +90]

Kuzchak's armor penetration value +30

[Ziggs's armor penetration +40]

[Ferguson's defense penetration value +5]

Amid cheers from Stoke City fans, Sun Yu excitedly flexed his muscles towards the audience.

His teammates gathered around, and Sun Yu laughed heartily: "That's just how energetic I am!"

On the sidelines, Ferguson stood with his hands inside his coat, chewing gum as he watched the pitch.

With a goal in hand, the positive image of Manchester United in the eyes of Stoke City players may not be completely shattered, but it certainly has a huge crack.

Sun Yu and Jones discussed: "I'll stand in the same position during the set piece."

Jones nodded. "I'm going to play with O'Shea for a while."

Manchester United continued to control possession, but Stoke City's attack gradually improved.

In the 36th minute, a group of Manchester United veterans fed Bebe a chance, but the latter unleashed a shot high and wide from inside the six-yard box.

This left Sun Yu in awe; even when he played center-back, he didn't dare to clear the ball towards the goal from inside the penalty area.

But Beibei did it, which shows that he was born to be a terrible shooter.

Stoke City missed their chance and immediately created a throw-in.

From the same position, Delap threw the ball in again, and this time Sun Yu accelerated, shaking off Evans and rushing towards the near post.

[Evans's defensive penetration value +80]

He leaped high into the air, forcefully flinging the ball towards the far corner of the goal.

The goalkeeper didn't touch the ball, and Etherington cleverly knocked it into the goal line.

Sun Yu rushed up and hugged Etherington, laughing, "Did you get Balotelli to bribe you so you could stop me from winning the Golden Boy award?"

Etherington laughed so hard he almost fell over: "Hahaha, you've made me laugh. You could score 100 goals in a game like this and still not win the Golden Boy award."

2:0.

Against Manchester United today, a two-goal lead has essentially secured the victory.

Manchester United certainly had a few shockwaves today. Evans is too easily swayed by "emotional value," making Sun Yu feel like he was bullying him.

Sun Yu glanced at the defense penetration score:

【积分：973/1000，等级lv1，升级经验9/10】

We're almost there!

Sun Yu still planned to squeeze some more money out of Evans.

Everyone is doing this for work, and Evans will surely understand.

If you can't understand it now, you'll be able to let it go someday.

But it's only a few points short, there's no need to nitpick.

In a small situation like this, just play normally.

After the start of the second half, Ferguson substituted Macheda for Bebe.

This "genius" bought for £740 million simply couldn't contribute to the attack.

After Macheda came on, Manchester United's attack didn't improve much, and their defense actually got worse.

In the 57th minute, Stoke City launched a counter-attack into the attacking third.

Wilkinson made a run forward and received a through ball from Pennant before crossing the ball directly into the box.

Sun Yu, with Evans hanging on him, accelerated laterally in the penalty area and headed the ball into the top left corner of the goal.

[Evans's defensive penetration value +90]

Kuzchak's armor penetration value +40

[Ferguson's defense penetration value +15]

[Macheda's armor penetration value +5]

3 is better than 0!

Stoke City practically killed the game!

Sun Yu laughed and rushed to the sidelines, wildly waving his fists towards the home team's stands.

[Congratulations, host! Your defense penetration points feature has been upgraded to level 2.]

[Reward: 3 attribute points]

Sun Yu took a closer look: "Wow, there are no restrictions on adding points!"

"This is good stuff!"
