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

Media area.

Sun Yu left Koscielny behind, whose body language clearly suggested a risky tackle. Adams raised his voice: "If we foul now, it's all over!"

No one expected that Sun Yu would appear in this critical position by some strange twist of fate.

But Sun Yu did it!

At this point, it's not important to determine the correct position.

The important thing is to seize the opportunity.

Sun Yu was simply fulfilling his duty as a striker, rushing to intercept the second ball the instant his teammate took the shot.

This kind of opportunity might only come once in a hundred attempts, but only by keeping running can you be in the right place when the opportunity arises.

Sun Yu glanced at Koscielny to his side and behind him out of the corner of his eye. If the opponent dared to make a sliding tackle, he would definitely stretch his leg into the path of the tackle.

Koscielny could only stick close to Sun Yu, looking for opportunities to make blocking tackles.

That's it.

Sun Yu didn't give the opponent a chance to move and directly shoved the ball into the goal.

Koscielny's tackle on Sun Yu looked utterly ineffective at that moment.

Goal!

"Yeah!"

The moment Sun Yu scored, Stoke City fans jumped up in the stands.

Krish's armor penetration value +90

Fabregas's armor penetration value +88

Krish's armor penetration value +85

Koscielny's armor penetration value +85

[Vermaelen's armor penetration value +80]

【...】

Wenger's defense penetration value +60

Stoke City scored again shortly after the start of the second half!

2 is better than 1!

Sun Yu raised his hands high and punched the stands hard, and his teammates jumped on him in a rush.

Sun Yu high-fived each of his teammates, then shouted with a smile, "I told you, we can win the championship!"

Sun Yu's teammates were all beaming with joy. His goal made everyone realize one thing:

If Stoke City wins the title, it will definitely not be an accident.

If the first goal still felt somewhat unreal to everyone...

That second goal was a true tactical victory!

That's right!

Stoke City had every opportunity to dismantle Arsenal's defense through open play.

Even Premier League giants can lose the final!

On the sidelines, Pulis excitedly pumped his fists: "Guys, we're just one step away from the championship!"

Compared to the Stoke City manager, the professor was shaking his head with his arms crossed.

He glanced up at the electronic timer; the match was approaching sixty minutes, which was undoubtedly bad news for Arsenal.

Arsenal's pressure comes not only from time, but also from the health and physical condition of their players.

The live stream kept switching between the faces of Arsenal players; Fabregas and Van Persie were expressionless, while Vermaelen and Koscielny looked anxious.

Wilshere was loudly encouraging his teammates, and Sun Yu only realized upon closer inspection that this guy was indeed a midfielder with a big heart.

In the media area, Martin Tyler unconsciously raised his voice amidst the cheers of the Stoke City fans: "With almost sixty minutes into the game, Arsenal are behind again. I wonder if they are mentally prepared for this situation."

"Arsenal encountered new problems in this game. Stoke City players used tireless running to engage them in close combat in all areas of the pitch. This opponent's performance may have been unfamiliar to them."

"In terms of possession, Arsenal has 54% possession, while Stoke City has 46%, so the difference between the two sides is not significant."

"In terms of clear-cut chances, both sides had four clear-cut scoring opportunities. Stoke City played like a top Premier League team today."

"Tony, after today's game, there will definitely be people who think Arsenal's performance was unsatisfactory. Do you think it was a problem with their performance on the day, the schedule, or the health of their key players?"

Adams said with a serious expression, "To be honest, Arsenal's situation would have been much worse if the linesman had made the correct call."

"Whether it's the schedule or injuries, these are the team's own problems. They can't use these factors as an excuse. This is something the team has to deal with, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."

"And the fact is, Arsenal have already benefited from the referee's decision."

"From this perspective, the current score is very reasonable."

"The performance of the Stoke City players tells us that if everyone does what they are good at, their competitiveness can be maximized."

"This theory can be fully demonstrated by Sun Yu. His way of handling the ball is very simple and effective. His performance today is that of a top-class center."

"I said the timing of Clichy's yellow card was awkward; Stoke City's second goal originated from that moment."

"Arsenal need to solve this problem immediately, otherwise Stoke City will continue to use this as a pretext."

The game restarted, and Arsenal immediately shifted their attack to the left flank.

Arshavin immediately outmaneuvered Wilkinson after receiving the ball, and Pennant came to cover.

Arshavin made a diagonal breakthrough, created an opening, and then decisively passed the ball to the far post.

Delap cleared the ball out of bounds before Van Persie could react.

Van Persie took the corner kick, and Wilshere unleashed a powerful volley in the penalty area without controlling the ball. Whiteside, standing in front of him, didn't move and used his body to block the ball out of bounds.

The two sides then traded blows, with Arsenal focusing their attacks down the left flank and pinning Pennant in their own half. Stoke City's transitions between attack and defense began down the left flank.

In the 63rd minute, Fabregas collided with a defender during an attack, clutching his ankle in apparent pain.

Wenger immediately substituted Nasri for Fabregas, but this substitution may not necessarily weaken the team, as Nasri's ability is certainly no less than that of the injured Fabregas.

Sure enough, Nasri, who had just come on, made a series of breakthroughs and passes through the middle, putting Stoke City's defense under pressure again.

In the 67th minute, Song passed the ball across to Wilshere on the right wing.

Wilshere ran to the left with the ball, refusing to take it even when Delap pressed him.

Delap didn't rush to intercept, but instead followed him towards the sideline, and when they were less than ten meters from the sideline, he immediately passed the ball to Clichy.

Clichy passed the ball diagonally to Nasri, who was moving to the left, leaving Delap's previous position undefended.

Whiteside immediately moved up to cover, and Nasri received the ball and immediately turned to move towards the middle. He glanced towards the middle, and Sun Yu marked Song, who was trying to make a run.

Nasri passed the ball back to Wilshere, who then accelerated toward the open space left by Whiteside.

Etherington immediately rushed towards the middle, and Wilshere passed the ball to Sagna, who had a path open.

Sagna dribbled diagonally toward the penalty area and, just as Shawcross came to block him, passed the ball across to Wilshere.

Wilshere followed the ball to the left, and Etherington immediately stepped forward to intercept it.

But Wilshere accelerated to the right the instant he stretched out his leg, and just as he finished dribbling past his opponent, he passed the ball to the middle.

Nasri, without stopping the ball, passed it into the left side of the penalty area. Arshavin dribbled diagonally towards the byline, with all the Stoke City players tightly marking the Arsenal players next to him.

Unexpectedly.

Arshavin made a feint by cutting inside, then dribbled the ball toward the sideline with his right foot, and then flicked the ball toward his right front with his left side.

This feint completely bypassed Wilkinson, and Arshavin immediately dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

What the hell!

This ball left Sun Yu completely bewildered.

This guy actually managed to dodge and weave in such a small space and even dribble past his opponent.

This flashbang turned positional warfare into a decapitation strike.

Arshavin showed no signs of tension; he even glanced at Wilkinson behind him out of the corner of his eye and adjusted the ball.

Huth tried to cover, but it was too late; the Stoke City players could only watch helplessly as Arshavin swatted the ball over Begovic's head and into the corner of the net.

2:2.

The dribbling and shooting just now were both perfect.

Amid cheers from Arsenal fans, Arshavin leisurely jogged towards the sideline and performed a lazy, greasy little hop.

Arshavin completely blew Wilkinson apart this time.

On the sidelines, Wenger celebrated with a smile.

Pulis's expression tensed up again. He had the more robust Wolters warm up, while Pennant was almost out of breath.

Sun Yu clapped and shouted, "It's okay! As long as we play good defense, even if it goes into overtime, the advantage is still on our side!"

Van Persie was constantly creating opportunities for the team in the second half, while Walcott was basically on standby.

They are definitely not at 100% condition; now it really depends on who can endure the pain.

Anyway, don't give yourself a chance. As long as you get the chance, I'll blow them out of their wits.
