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

When Sun Yu saw that Bendtner was going to guard him one-on-one, the corners of his mouth instantly turned up.

He pointed at Bartley and Dzhuru, and asked in a dismissive tone, "You think they're holding you back?"

Noticing his teammates' attention instinctively turning to him, Bendtner's expression immediately turned wary: "Kid, don't fucking mess things up!"

"Everyone should help their teammates share the pressure; that's the meaning of football, do you understand what I mean?"

Bendtner reacted quickly and used appropriate language, but Sun Yu was certain it was all an act.

As a highly talented center forward, Bendtner joined Arsenal at the age of 16 and was highly regarded by Wenger.

However, after a while, the English media broke the news that this guy had a conflict with his teammates. Coupled with his outrageous remarks such as "I will surpass Ibrahimovic in two years", "I am the best center forward in the world" and "I will be the top scorer in the World Cup", as well as his extremely undisciplined professional attitude, this guy has basically ruined his reputation at Arsenal.

Sun Yu immediately changed his tone: "You're lying. You're actually trying to prove you're the best player on this team, but you're not."

The opponent's questioning triggered an immediate reaction from Bendtner: "They can't handle their own problems, I'll handle yours, it's that simple."

"Stop talking nonsense to me!"

[Bartley's defense penetration value +1]

This is bound to be the effect when the confident Bendtner meets the vulnerable Bartley.

Sun Yu smiled but didn't say anything. Compared to the big job that was about to begin, the conversation just now was just an appetizer.

A few seconds later, four burly men brought in by Stoke City's first team had surrounded Martinez.

This tactic is not uncommon in the English football system; its principles are derived from the pick-and-roll in basketball and the screen-and-reel tactic in rugby.

To put it simply, it involves using a group of tall, strong men to restrict the goalkeeper's range of movement, and then using screens to break the heading specialist out of the opponent's targeted defense.

Arsenal players had to stick close to Stoke City players to mark their assigned players, resulting in the penalty area being overcrowded.

Martinez was pinned down by two Stoke City players and raised his hand to the referee to protest, "They are fouling the goalkeeper."

The referee ignored it and blew his whistle immediately.

The corner kick was taken, and Arsenal's reserve team's penalty area was in chaos.

The four Stoke City players began to set screens for each other. Bendtner was tightly guarded behind Salif Diaw, while Gibbs, who was 1.8 meters tall, stood in front of Sun Yu.

Gibbs's defense penetration value +2

The other party panicked.

The ball quickly flew into the penalty area, where three Arsenal reserve team defenders were tightly marked, leaving only Gibbs desperately pushing Sun Yu outwards.

Sun Yu slammed into Gibbs, then seized the opportunity to leap high into the air.

Just as he was about to jump, Bendtner pushed past the defender and rushed to Sun Yu's side.

The two jumped almost simultaneously and engaged in a fierce physical confrontation in the air.

Bendtner lost his balance, and Sun Yu, leaning to one side, gritted his teeth and slammed the ball into the goal with his head.

"Bang!"

A crisp sound.

The ball flew straight towards the left side of the goal, and Martinez only saw it when it reached the goal line.

He rushed to make the save, but it was too late; he could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into the goal.

Arsenal reserve team players surrounded the referee, indicating that the opposing team had committed a foul.

But the referee remained unmoved and firmly pointed to the center circle.

3:2.

hat trick!

Sun Yu excitedly pumped his fists: "That felt great!"

"I'm just that awesome, nobody can touch me!"

His teammates rushed over excitedly, patting his arms and back.

and many more!

What's the deal with the last defense penetration value?

The professor came to watch the game too?

Sun Yu, who was celebrating, looked around the stadium and finally spotted Wenger in the stands behind the Arsenal bench.

Sun Yu smiled and waved to Wenger, which was one of the most beautiful parts of his football memories.

In the stands, Wenger, who had just spread his hands, smiled helplessly and then applauded in Sun Yu's direction.

In his eyes, this athletically gifted but technically unskilled child would likely find it difficult to become a top-tier player in the future.

But the positive and energetic vitality emanating from him made it hard not to take a second look, as if the sun existed specifically to illuminate him.

In Wenger's view, the scene of Sun Yu looking up at the slightly worn electronic scoreboard is a microcosm of countless children striving for professional football.

In reality, Sun Yu didn't have that much inner monologue; he was just checking the time and calculating the score.

[Mission Progress: Defense Penetration Value 79 points, 21 points short]

The match lasted for fifty-eight minutes, and the progress of the mission was steadily ahead of the time limit.

However, one cannot be too optimistic. Sun Yu is well aware that as time goes on, once his opponents adapt to his aggressive style, the "emotional value" they provide will decrease.

Trying to provoke your opponent with empty words will only get you some small points; to complete the mission, you need to pull off something big.

Sun Yu kept high-fiving his teammates: "Increase the speed, destroy their stamina!"

The opponent restarted the game, and Stoke City players kept pressing the young Arsenal players, winning the ball back and immediately sending a long pass to Sun Yu.

Facing the aggressive Stoke City players, Arsenal reserve team manager Bould made three substitutions in a row.

He first replaced Bendtner with the fast and strong French sports car Suno, then replaced Djourou with the strong Squillaci, and finally replaced Lansbury with Rosicky, who was recovering from injury and regaining his form.

These three substitutions had an immediate effect on Arsenal's reserve team, with Rosicky and Wilshere combining to break through Stoke City's tight defense.

They created two one-on-one opportunities within eight minutes, and Sunu, who had just come on as a substitute, equalized the score.

3:3.

Seeing that seventy minutes had passed, Sun Yu's expression turned serious.

In those ten-odd minutes, he only managed to get 3 defensive penetration points from Denilson, Bartley, and Yannaris.

[Mission Progress: Defense Penetration Value 82 points, 18 points short]

To get the reward, you have to give it your all!

Stoke City made two substitutions, one of which involved a black winger who participated in the trial with Sun Yu.

The young black winger looked at Sun Yu with a mixture of envy and respect: "The boss told me to support you in the attacking third, and he told me to listen to you."

Sun Yu patted the other person on the shoulder: "You must be diligent with your feet, and run as fast as you can whenever you have the chance."

"By the way, what's your name?"

The Black winger replied earnestly, "You can call me Okpoye."

The game continued, and Stoke City's reserves were pushed back to their own doorstep once again. This time, Arsenal's reserves moved their defense forward to midfield.

However, with first-team players in the lineup, Stoke City players still fought fiercely, constantly creating physical challenges in their own half, with Sun Yu and Okoboye relentlessly pressing and sprinting.

In the 77th minute, Stoke City, who were being dominated, had another chance.

Okoboye clung to Yannaris, who awkwardly passed the ball back to center-back Bartley.

The moment the ball left the field, Yannaris clutched his head.

Sun Yu poked the ball forward before Bartley could touch it, and the two kept elbowing each other as they ran.

[Yennaris's armor penetration value +3]

[Bartley's defense penetration value +1]

Bartley, already carrying a yellow card, dared not foul. Sun Yu, like a mad beast, charged at his opponent, using the moment he knocked him aside to break free of the defense.

[Bartley's defense penetration value +1]

He sprinted toward the ball, and Bartley and Squillaci chased after him desperately, but the distance between them and Sun Yu grew ever wider.

Squillaci's armor penetration value +1

Seeing that he had shaken off the defender, Sun Yu waved to Okboye: "Come on!"

He might not be able to handle Martinez by himself, but two people could definitely do it.

Seeing that the opponent had created a two-on-one situation, Martinez, who had originally planned to attack, could only stay in the penalty area.

Martinez's defensive penetration value +1

Sun Yu and Okoboye arrived in front of the penalty area in the blink of an eye, and Martinez nervously observed their positions.

next moment!

Sun Yu suddenly dribbled the ball to the right front, and Martinez immediately started his run.

Seeing Sun Yu raise his right leg high, Martinez decisively dived to make a save.

but!

What he didn't expect was...

Sun Yu did not shoot, but instead gently pushed the ball to his right front the moment he touched it.

Lying on the grass, Martinez could only watch as Okopoye easily pushed the ball into the empty net from inside the penalty area.

4 is better than 3!

Stoke City's reserves have taken the lead again.

[Mission Progress: Defense Penetration Value 100 points. Congratulations, host, on completing the mission.]

Upon seeing the system notification, Sun Yu excitedly waved his right arm: "I did it!"

With Henry's ball control skills, I've taken another big step toward success!

In the stands, Wenger said to his assistant coach Pat Rice, "Pat, I need this kid's match reports for the next three months."

Pat Rice said expressionlessly, "Are you sure? I think he's far from being good enough for Arsenal's first team, and his technical abilities are basically set."

Wenger nodded: "I agree with you, but I always feel that there is a strong vitality growing in this child."

"My intuition tells me that his future will be bright."
