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

His teammates gathered around, and Sun Yu praised them while checking their stats:

"Kenvin (Jones), if you hadn't taken that big guy away, I wouldn't have been able to head the ball!"

"Andrew (Wilkinson), you've absolutely been possessed by Cafu and Beckham combined! That cross is basic stuff, I didn't expect you to almost make Beckham cry!"

"Ryan (Shawcross), you're a striker's nightmare! That old man's going to buy you back at the end of the season!"

Sun Yu shared all the honors with just a few words, leaving only the practical benefits, and praised his teammates to the skies.

While his teammates were bragging and walking back to their half of the court, Sun Yu was happily admiring the fruits of his hard work over the past few months.

Unallocated attribute points: 5.

Two points come from minor skill point allocations; this is just a small part of the fun.

The source of joy lies in having 3 points of unlimited attribute points; these are the wings that allow you to fly freely.

Sun Yu had already considered his stat allocation strategy countless times in his mind. After receiving the attributes, he didn't hesitate at all and decisively completed the stat allocation.

Off-the-ball movement: 55-57!

Matchup: 95-98!

Small attribute points are concentrated on improving attributes strongly related to scoring goals, while free attribute points can be allocated to further enhance strengths.

As for other attributes, improve them as much as you can through training; some attributes may never improve at all.

Looking at the data panel again, a sense of accomplishment welled up inside me.

Agility: 78; Physical Fitness: 94; Explosiveness: 83

[Footwork Strength: 93; Strength Combat: 98; Jumping Ability: 91]

Speed: 82; Dribbling: 46; Tackling: 50; Tackle: 49

[Vision: 51; Off-the-ball movement: 57; Defensive positioning: 43; Ball control: 64]

Passing: 52; Shooting: 61; Heading: 100; Free Kick: 40

Without headers, Sun Yu felt like he was just a mid-to-lower-tier Premier League substitute.

But with this main card, all other physical attributes become the military stronghold of the air force.

In recent months, Sun Yu's other attributes have improved to varying degrees, but the outlook is optimistic.

With this half-year professional career as a foundation, Sun Yu is no longer satisfied with simply being a top-ranking airman.

Even an upgraded version of Bierhoff could still have a brilliant career if he played until he was 33.

But when everyone reaches a certain height, they will look up and gaze at the heights after a brief period of joy.

There's not much room for it to get any worse.

Our strength doesn't allow it!

Sun Yu admitted that there was an element of speculation in him maxing out his heading ability.

He wanted to stay at Leyton Orient by scoring goals, because scoring goals is the highest achievement in the football world, and everyone cares about scoring goals.

This also shows that being a diligent supporting role is not one's own driving force.

If given the choice, most professional players would probably prefer to take on the most prestigious role.

Of course, I still have a long way to go to become a top star.

The only thing Sun Yu can do now is to focus all his resources on the ability to score goals.

Even among world-class athletes, when every ability is quantified, many imperfections become apparent.

No one in this world is perfect. A person who wants to be better than others in every aspect will most likely end up being just a scrap.

Because time waits for no one, a person can only do their best in the limited time available to do what is most suitable for them.

Even so, only a very few people can succeed. Most people struggle their whole lives just to find a job for themselves by using their own strengths.

As Wu, a well-known figure on the internet, once said, "Time is like a wild donkey; once it starts running, it never stops."

A player's career is like an exhibit on an assembly line.

The image of Owen speeding past Argentina's defense to give England the lead in the World Cup seems like it was just yesterday, even though it's actually been twelve years.

Look at how fast he moves, how many goals he scores, how he walks into the Bernabéu, as if his wonderful career has just come to an end.

In fact, the story is nearing its end.

He subsequently suffered an injury, lost his starting position, left the Bernabéu in disappointment, continued to falter at Newcastle, and finally joined his arch-rivals during his peak years.

Kyrie Irving's career was like a Marvel hero in the first half, and like a corporate slave in the second half.

But when you take his career into account, it becomes a story of a gifted young man being worn down by time.

You see him build tall buildings, you see him entertain guests, but the rise and fall can happen in an instant.

All Sun Yu needs to do is try his best to live each day to the fullest.

The game restarted, and Stoke City quickly regained possession.

Shawcross kicked the ball to midfield, and Sun Yu and Fletcher jumped at the same time.

The two bodies collided, and Fletcher lost his balance in mid-air.

Fletcher's armor penetration value +30

[Evans's defensive penetration value +20]

Kuzchak's armor penetration value +15

Smalling's armor penetration value +10

[O'Shea's armor penetration value +10]

[Ferguson's defense penetration value +5]

Ok?

As soon as the system displayed the points, Sun Yu quickly noticed that the way the defense-breaking points were calculated had changed.

At level 1, a long list of "rewards" only appears when a goal is scored; in one-on-one situations, usually only one person is generating "emotional value".

But this time it's completely different; associated personnel will generate defense breach values.

Fletcher's failed header attempt will also have a ripple effect on his teammates behind him.

interesting!

Although each upgrade requires advancing 15 minor tiers, each minor tier requires 3000 experience points.

However, judging from the speed of points accumulation, the speed is not slow.

In the next five minutes, possession was roughly even, but Stoke City completely dominated their opponents in terms of momentum.

Pulis knew when to stop, first replacing Delap with Whelan, and then replacing Sun Yu with Ricardo Fowler.

But Stoke City still held the advantage after Sun Yu left the field.

There's nothing we can do; the Manchester United players' morale is completely gone.

In the 78th minute, Ricardo Fowler blew past Evans and headed in a cross from Etherington to score.

4 is better than 0!

Stoke City thrashed Manchester United at home!

Ferguson angrily substituted Brown for Evans, and Pulis replaced Etherington.

Neither side managed to score in the final moments, and Stoke City ultimately advanced to the League Cup semi-finals with a four-goal advantage.

At the post-match press conference, Ferguson remained tough: "Today was a good opportunity to test our rotation lineup, but unfortunately our players were not prepared."

"I hope this game will be a blow to them. Manchester United has never been about winning, which is probably why they can't be a regular starter."

"Stoke City played at a higher intensity against us today than many Champions League teams, and our players should be realistic about their position."

"Losing this tournament means many players may struggle to get enough playing time in the upcoming matches, and that's the price to pay."

When discussing Bebe's performance, Ferguson remained very positive: "The lad was tackled so badly by those bastards that he was afraid to even touch the ball. I think he can learn a lot from this game."

When Cristiano Ronaldo first transferred to Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson said something similar after a cup match.

Clearly, the Manchester United manager is still not backing down on the Bebe issue.

Pulis was quite practical. He first said that this was the team's best game so far this season, and then said that Stoke City had a clear advantage in terms of physical fitness.

Now that they've advanced to the next round, there's nothing wrong with adopting a humble attitude.

In the other three matches, Arsenal defeated Wigan Athletic 2-0.

The other two teams that advanced were Birmingham City, who were in the relegation zone, and Ipswich Town, from the Championship.

Back in the locker room, Pulis immediately predicted the semi-final matchups: "Arsenal will draw Ipswich Town, and we'll play Birmingham. We'll see."

That evening, the English Football League announced the draw results.

Just as Pulis predicted, it seems this guy has grasped the pulse of commercial football.

In short: If Arsenal doesn't make it to the final, the ratings will plummet.

Sun Yu is now very eager to know one thing: the results of the Golden Boy Award voting will be released in two days, and what place he will get.

It shouldn't be bad, right?
