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

Stoke City scored the opening goal, and Sun Yu spread his arms wide in front of the home fans, revealing his signature smile.

This season, no opponent has been able to overturn the deficit once Stoke City scores first at home.

Even if it were Manchester United, the Premier League champions, they would have to play honestly; no one would dare to play tricks at Britannia Stadium.

But West Ham players clearly didn't think that way today. What Sun Yu saw on their opponents' faces wasn't disappointment, but madness.

The system's data also confirms this; West Ham players did not provide much defensive penetration value after losing possession.

To be honest, this scene is somewhat strange for a relegation-threatened team.

Perhaps because their opponents had a tough time winning in the league, they didn't take Stoke City seriously at all.

We definitely can't give them face.

The game continued, and West Ham players responded very resolutely.

They immediately launched a massive attack after kickoff, as if they were an invincible and dominant team.

Isn't this a case of not understanding one's own standing in the martial arts world?

The physical battles between the two teams were intense from the start of the match, to the point that the players with the ball had nowhere to hide. West Ham United's aggressive attitude also inspired the fighting spirit of Stoke City's players.

For the next ten minutes, intense confrontations occurred almost every ten seconds.

Body collisions, flying tackles, head-on tackles...

In the 16th minute, West Ham midfielder Parker dribbled past two players in the middle, and just as he finished the dribble, Huth suddenly flew out of his sight.

Huth regained possession with a precise tackle using a seven- or eight-meter run-up, sending Parker flying.

Not far away, Noble suddenly began waving his hands wildly in a rage, then roared at the referee, "Did you see that? This is murder!"

This tackle would at most be called a foul in other leagues, but in the English league it's an absolutely excellent play.

The reactions of other West Ham players were also somewhat excessive, which Sun Yu found hard to understand.

To be honest, if you were to rank Premier League teams by their level of violence, West Ham United would definitely be at the top.

These are all part of their daily routine during the game, but today they suddenly couldn't take it anymore.

Sun Yu sensed that the other party's mentality was abnormal.

After making the tackle, Huth chased after the ball and poked it to Whiteside before the West Ham players could intercept, then continued his charge forward.

Whiteside passed the ball to Etherington on the left wing, who then passed it directly to Sun Yu at the edge of the penalty area.

Sun Yu used his body to shield himself from the defender behind him, then suddenly moved his body backward by nearly two meters, causing the defender to hang directly on him.

"Sun Yu!"

Just then, Huth ran and called for the ball, and Sun Yu immediately passed the ball to him.

Huth swung his foot hard at the ball, and it flew like a cannonball into the top left corner of the goal.

2:0.

Amidst the cheers of Stoke City fans, almost all the West Ham players wore expressions of frustration.

Since gaining the ability to break through defenses, Sun Yu has frequently observed other people's emotional changes through data, and he can also summarize some minor patterns in the body language of most people.

But the West Ham United players' expressions were very abnormal, as if they were gamblers risking their lives to recoup their losses.

The problem is, this is the FA Cup, not the league.

Even in the league, West Ham United climbed out of the relegation zone.

What's going on here?

Huth slid back on his knees and was excitedly interacting with his teammates.

Sun Yu leaned closer to Huth and warned, "Something's wrong with the West Ham players. Watch their movements."

He not only reminded Huth, but also all his teammates.

In this situation, you should definitely protect yourself first.

Sure enough, West Ham players showed a tendency to overextend themselves in the next ten minutes, receiving three yellow cards in a row.

The referee doesn't tolerate these people; West Ham United's fate has absolutely no impact on the Premier League.

West Ham United continued their attack, twice committing as many as eight players to the attacking third, which seemed like something only a normal person would do.

It feels like going all in.

Their style of play inevitably gave Stoke City plenty of counter-attacking opportunities. Sun Yu and Jones both had clear chances during this period, but unfortunately, they failed to capitalize on them.

But the opportunities just kept coming, and West Ham players were betting that Stoke City wouldn't score.

However, if you keep giving the opponent chances, how can you not concede a goal?

In the 41st minute, West Ham United's through ball in the attacking third was intercepted, and Stoke City launched a counter-attack.

Sun Yu suddenly stopped while running laterally, and began to accelerate the instant that center-back Upson's attention was on Pennant.

Pennant immediately sent a through ball, and Sun Yu swept it across the field without stopping, passing the ball to Jones who was making a run into the goal.

Goalkeeper Green and center-back Costa rushed forward, and Jones turned to the right of the goal, intending to cut inside and shoot.

but.

next moment!

Sun Yu ran up from the right. Jones glanced at Sun Yu, then continued to cut inside and even made a shooting motion.

The defenders had already made their blocking moves when they realized Jones was kicking at thin air!

broken!

They turned to look, and Sun Yu dribbled the ball to the left side of the goal and easily pushed it into the net.

3 is better than 0!

Sun Yu and Jones excitedly put their arms around each other's shoulders and exclaimed simultaneously, "Amazing!"

The other Stoke City players rushed over, laughing, and everyone was tilting their heads back and laughing.

Stoke City not only scored a goal, but were also completely outplayed by Sun Yu and Jones.

[Obinna's defense penetration value +100]

Parker's defense penetration value +100

Tomkins' defensive penetration rating +100

......

All 11 West Ham United players on the field contributed 100 points in defensive penetration, and the manager and substitutes also contributed a large number of points.

Sun Yu was surprised; he had only seen this scene once before since gaining the ability to break through defenses, during the League Cup final.

Long insight!

He really didn't understand what the opposing players' mentality was.

That's really a bit of an exaggeration.

After halftime, West Ham players suddenly lost their fighting spirit in the second half, and Stoke City were able to dominate no matter what they did.

In the 57th minute, Stoke City got a throw-in in the attacking third. Delap threw the ball into the penalty area, causing chaos among West Ham players, with three or four players rushing towards Sun Yu.

Sun Yu passed the ball to the far post, where Jones headed it in unmarked.

4:0.

Seeing that the victory was already secured, Pulis began to ask Sun Yu for his opinion: "Why don't you come down and rest? The game is meaningless now, there's really no need to score a third goal."

Seeing that things were not going well, Pulis wanted to substitute Sun Yu to prevent the opponent from losing his temper.

Sun Yu nodded: "Whatever you say, boss."

Sun Yu scored 2 goals and provided 2 assists in less than an hour of playing time, and Etherington was substituted five minutes later.

West Ham players completely lost their fighting spirit, and scored two more goals in the following game.

Stoke City defeated their opponents 6-0 at home to advance to the semi-finals.

Sun Yu felt that West Ham players were under too much pressure in the relegation zone, and the team's mentality was very unhealthy.

In his observation, these guys seemed like gamblers who had recovered some of their losses after suffering huge losses, and then went all in on the stock market.

The pressure faced by teams fighting relegation is something most people simply couldn't handle.

As the match ended, Stoke City fans in the main stand raised their scarves and suddenly sang in unison: "The silhouette is real, the person is fake, there was no cause and effect."

"A hundred years ago, you weren't you, and I wasn't me either."

Surprisingly, she sang in Chinese, and captured seven or eight tenths of the essence of the song, so it seems she practiced a lot in private.

Pris really popularized the song.

The day's "Match Highlights" program also featured footage of Stoke City fans singing "One Hundred Years of Solitude."

In the video, Stoke City fans are very enthusiastic, turning a song that was originally lyricist expressing his heartbreak after a breakup into a song with the feel of a life-or-death battle.

A week later in the Premier League, Stoke City, riding high on their thrashing of West Ham United, defeated Newcastle 4-0 at home. After the match, the entire Britannia Stadium was filled with the song.

Because many fans mispronounced the words, they sang the song in a different way.

In just one week, this song, which was 12 years ago, has become popular again in the UK and China.

The match ended, and Sun Yu, who had scored a goal and provided an assist, was happily lounging on the sofa watching a movie when he suddenly received a call from his agent, Tang Sen: "Three Chinese companies contacted me today, wanting you to be their spokesperson. Two of them are very good: Mengniu and Tencent. Why don't you choose one of them?"

Sun Yu sat up abruptly: "So sudden?"

Townsend could hardly contain his joy: "Your influence in China is beyond your imagination. Because 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' became a hit in both Britain and China, the female singer was invited to the London summer variety show. You know, this concert only invites European and American stars."

Sun Yu was taken aback for a moment: "Is that so? You talk to me first, and let me know if there's any progress."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Yu opened Weibo: "I heard I'm quite popular?"

I was surprised to find myself at the top of the trending searches as soon as I opened the app: "Queen Faye Wong followed Sun Yu."

That... is also reasonable.

My buddy is a famous soccer star after all, and he even put a job for her. It's only fair that he pays attention to me.

Haha, that's how well I get along with people.
