Chapter 15 Live Stream

The live stream.

The giant screen replayed the entire goal process.

Payet's actions were also exposed in slow motion.

Elbowing Cazorla, and stamping on Li Kang's supporting leg with his cleats...

The barrage of comments flew.

Public outrage was stirred.

-【I said Arsenal isn't afraid of West Ham United. With the 200 million man on the field, the Gunners have nothing to fear.】

-【Thank goodness Li Mingdeng dodged quickly, otherwise, if Payet had landed that, wouldn't his leg have been broken?】

-【Payet is a repeat offender; he did a lot of dirty things like this in Ligue 1... He also likes to insult opposing players as animals on social media. Arsenal's passing and cutting process is really pleasing to the eye, and Little Lee's final pass sublimated the entire attack.】

-【The referee didn't signal anything. Does he have to get stamped on to give a card?】

-【It's Mike Dean; he used to celebrate wildly when Tottenham scored!】

-【Is there going to be a fight?】

-【Xhaka and Mustafi! Don't let those two get cards again.】

....

The referee, Mike Dean, is one of the Premier League's four blindest referees, nicknamed "The North London Sniper."

Arsenal's win rate in matches he officiates is less than 10%.

Gunners fans can list a whole bunch of this guy's controversial calls.

As the LED screen in mid-air began to replay the "highlight reel" in slow motion.

The boos in the Emirates Stadium instantly drowned out the cheers.

Islington fans frantically raised their middle fingers.

Xhaka and Mustafi stormed towards Payet.

These two guys were troublemakers in the Bundesliga and La Liga.

Although they're a bit rubbish, their fierceness and acting skills are not inferior to the older generation's "Four Villains."

Accompanied by the screams of fans in the nearby stands.

Xhaka pushed Payet to the ground.

Mustafi grabbed the back of his neck hard.

The players on both sides rushed to the scene.

West Ham United's penalty area instantly turned into a mess.

At the same time.

The referee, Mike Dean, didn't see anything; he was still pressing his earpiece with his index finger, communicating with the linesman...

....

"The close-up sound equipment seems to have picked up a few screams!"

"Both teams' substitutes and coaching staff have also rushed onto the field."

"The security personnel are under a lot of pressure."

"The refined Wenger and Bilic are pushing each other on the sidelines..."

"Huh?"

"Mike Dean has finally realized the chaos that's happening on the field."

"The Emirates Stadium is filled with the smell of gunpowder!"

"The first shot of the London derby!"

...

The Hammers' penalty area was filled with vulgar language.

The fighting blood in Carroll's body burned and boiled...

After a long while,

The chaos subsided.

The crowd dispersed, and Xhaka and Mustafi fell to the grass, looking "pained."

Li Kang's "Turning the Tide" module still hadn't triggered.

Mike Dean pressed his earpiece again and showed Payet and Carroll yellow cards, respectively.

The stands erupted in even louder boos.

Arsenal fans felt the punishment was too light.

West Ham United fans felt it was unfair; why weren't Xhaka and Mustafi, the two villains who "struck first," punished?

"The director switched the camera; Carroll's yellow card is fine; his attempt to dissuade Xhaka and Mustafi was a bit too forceful."

"Payet's yellow card should have been after the assistant referee reminded him, making up for the elbow on Cazorla."

"Mike Dean is walking towards the sideline..."

West Ham United players surrounded the referee, protesting wildly.

Until Mike Dean raised his hand towards Wenger.

The whole place was in an uproar!

The Arsenal manager was sent to the stands!

"Mike Dean's unique punishment method is to hold Wenger accountable for pushing Bilic!"

"Everyone gets a share!"

"One hit the West Ham United attacking player."

"One hit the Gunners' manager."

"Strictly speaking, Arsenal is at a disadvantage. Losing their backbone, they are very likely to play passively in the next game."

"The manager's on-the-spot adjustments determine the direction of the game."

Now it was the Arsenal fans' turn to protest angrily.

Bilic and the West Ham United fans applauded and cheered.

...

Wenger signaled to Bould and others not to waste time arguing.

He easily stepped over the advertising boards.

Step by step... he stepped onto the West Ham United stands!

His eyes swept across the entire Emirates Stadium.

The wind blew his red tie.

The Gunners' manager spread his hands.

Like a king standing on the top of the mountains, overlooking his territory.

The Hammers fans nearby quickly recovered from their shock and gave the professor the warmest applause for his courage.

Which Premier League manager dares to stand in the stands of the opposing fans?

....

On the sidelines.

Arsenal's coaching staff was a little worried:

The opposing manager, Bilic, has a very strong ability to make on-the-spot adjustments.

Now what's done is done, our first-team manager was sent off before the first half even ended...

Bould pressed his hands down, his tone firm:

"Calm down, don't panic, we're leading by one goal!"

"The boss himself is slow to make adjustments."

"It's okay; we'll pay attention to Lee's gestures!"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

As long as our 200 million man is still on the field, Arsenal can't be like last season, when the Hammers chased three goals in a row!

On the other side.

Bilic adjusted his emotions.

He wasn't disturbed by what had just happened on the field.

He waved and called Ayew, Payet, and Antonio over.

"Listen, our adjustments are very simple..."

....

Xhaka got up and glanced provocatively at Carroll.

Mustafi patted Li Kang on the butt and said, "Lee, I've been watching the newly revised FIFA rules every night to understand the characteristics of Premier League referees."

After the team doctor gave the bruised and swollen Cazorla a simple treatment, he quickly left the field.

The game restarted from the center circle.

Carroll kicked off and passed horizontally to Ayew.

There are many brother pairings in world football: the Hazard brothers, the Inzaghi brothers, the Touré brothers, the Neville brothers, the Boateng brothers, the Lukaku brothers... etc.

The Ayew brothers are no exception; they made a name for themselves in the Premier League very early.

But their father achieved even more.

...

Carroll slowly made his way to Arsenal's half.

The Gunners' formation didn't change: traditional English center forwards can hardly threaten the central defender pairing of Mustafi and Maguire.

Ayew passed the ball back to Cresswell.

"West Ham United's frontcourt is pressing very aggressively."

"A long pass directly from the backcourt?"

"The left-back is pressing very deep!"

Bang!

The ball flew to the left side of Arsenal's half.

Antonio was in position early, and his 190 pounds leaned on Xhaka.

After Bilic's training, this little black egg is the kind of versatile player who can play any position in West Ham United's system along the entire central axis.

The idea is very simple.

No matter what position he's in, he just needs to solve the problem with his body.

The ball landed on Antonio's chest and then bounced onto the grass.

...

Cazorla timed his help defense very well.

It looked like he could flick the ball away with a stretch of his leg.

A white figure rushed out from the side.

West Ham United number 27!

Payet!

He knows when to be dirty and when not to be.

In the moment of fighting for the ball.

He must be dirty.

Thump!

Payet, who was running, bent slightly, and at the moment he approached the ball, he stomped hard on the grass, exerted force from his waist and abdomen... and his shoulder slammed hard into Cazorla's chest!

The latter was struck by lightning and could no longer control the ball in front of him.

Payet used his right foot to flick the ball over again.

Easily winning this ball possession battle.

He then used his left foot to cut diagonally towards the center.

"Cazorla has fallen to the ground again."

"The referee didn't signal anything!"

"Xhaka was blocked by Antonio and couldn't make it in time to help defend."

"The Emirates Stadium once again resounded with angry boos from the fans."

"Payet's dribbling is too flashy!"

.....

Bilic used both his hands and feet, directing his players to press forward with strange gestures.

Only one goal behind.

He'd be able to catch up soon.

The Hammers' frontcourt running revolved around Payet.

Kouyaté and Masuaku switched positions.

Carroll tightly held Maguire.

Ayew retreated, frequently cooperating with Payet's passing.

In the blink of an eye, West Ham United advanced to Arsenal's thirty-meter area.

The direction of the ball's passing quietly changed.

Bilic's change was about to destroy Arsenal's defense, just like last season.

....

Li Kang stood in front of the defensive line, and the shadows in his brain spread wildly.

God's-eye view deconstructed the opponent's attack.

In a daze.

A system prompt sounded quietly.

[Ding, teammate Cazorla injured detected, "Turning the Tide" module triggered!]

[You have gained a special ability buff: Balanced Feet Lv4!]

[Additional trigger effect: Golden Right Foot.]

[Duration until teammate recovers from injury.]

Pa la.

The shadows in his brain suddenly stopped, and then contracted wildly.

The dense red lines in the God's-eye view gradually disappeared.

Li Kang's calm heart stirred with a trace of waves.

Why do I feel a bit... when my teammate is injured...

He tried to suppress that strange joy.

With the buff of the golden left and right feet, he didn't need to deconstruct the opponent's simple, targeted tactics; there was a simpler and more direct way to break the situation.

...

Payet looked at Li Kang, who was coming aggressively in front of him.

His face was full of disdain.

He wasn't stupid; on the contrary, he was a very smart attacking player.

The successor of Zidane.

Why would he be afraid of this kind of head-on interception?

Head-on interception?

Head-on interception!

He calculated Li Kang's stride frequency and distance in his heart.

The hard-to-suppress agitation and excitement were written all over his face.

Come on.

Arsenal's 200 million man.

Come and accept even greater humiliation!

...

Emirates Stadium.

Payet started to dance.

He lowered his shoulder.

Flicked the ball with his left foot.

Turned his body.

Waiting for the moment when Li Kang closed the distance.

Pulled the ball again with his right foot.

The whole place exclaimed.

"The Marseille turn!"

"He's worthy of being Zidane's successor!"

"Li Kang's interception this time was a bit casual."

"Arsenal as a whole is still good at low-block defense, not suitable for... wow!"

Li Kang didn't use any fancy retreating, quick stopping, pressing his center of gravity, or sweeping leg tackles...

The Eye of Truth trembled and shrank back into the void.

Nesta's phantom's abilities didn't buff his defense either.

...

Payet thought he did this Marseille turn beautifully.

He couldn't help but imagine the vast attacking space after getting rid of the interception...

Yes.

As long as I pass the ball...

Where's the ball?

His feet didn't touch anything.

He instinctively wanted to raise his knee and hit Arsenal's number 10!

Too late!

His movements were half a beat slower.

He suddenly felt a surging and terrifying force in his waist and abdomen.

The world within sight lost its color, and the green grass was dyed black...

The next moment.

West Ham United's attacking core lost consciousness!

....

"The timing of the tackle and the speed of the shot are too terrifying!"

"How did he do it?"

"The referee still didn't signal anything!"

"Li Kang touched the ball first!"

The originally manic and furious Nesta phantom laughed gloatingly and gradually disappeared with the wind.

Li Kang felt the mysterious feeling brought by his golden feet.

It was an all-around ability improvement except for headers!

The Balanced Feet buff in the coefficient panel suddenly flickered.

Cazorla, who was far away, covered his chest, got up, and waved again to indicate that he was fine, telling Li Kang not to waste the attacking opportunity.

Did he recover so quickly?

Crap!

Cazorla has the "Incomplete Injury Immunity" bond!

....

None of the Hammers cared about Payet's injury.

They couldn't lose the ball again.

The pressing formation changed rapidly, and they quickly organized a counter-attack.

Arsenal, who were in a low-block defense, didn't have time to build an attacking pass.

Li Kang slowed down.

He was very patient, waiting for Morata, Sanchez, and Walcott to sprint.

...

The Hammers' high-block defense can be described in one word: power.

Last season, they used the individual confrontational strength of their players to forcibly disrupt the passing rhythm of Arsenal's talented midfielders, such as Ramsey and Wilshere.

Thus, they shut down Arsenal away from home.

Kouyaté, Cresswell, and Antonio were among the best.

The three quickly caught up with Li Kang, who had deliberately slowed down.

Like a pack of wolves pouncing on a sheep.

They fiercely pounced on the 200 million man.

Even if Drogba were on the field, he couldn't withstand the 550 pounds of the three of us combined...

...

Wenger thought it felt good to watch the game from a high place.

But the scene on the green field was really worrying.

He frowned.

He couldn't hold it back.

His refined demeanor was hard to maintain, and he vowed to beat Mike Dean hard a few times after the game!

Bilic's expression was calm.

He didn't care about Payet's injury.

A core star who makes a fuss about transferring and boycotting training all day long... isn't worth much!

...

"It's not that easy."

"West Ham United isn't a weak team; their resilience..."

Li Kang took a small step with his right foot.

The Hammers trio decisively leaned their center of gravity to the left!

Just as they reacted.

Li Kang's left foot... connected to an unbelievable move!

He pushed the ball sharply towards the front and to the side.

It was precisely the gap that the three had exposed in this defense.

Immediately afterwards.

Arsenal's number 10 figure sped past!

Leaving the Hammers trio dumbfounded.

Damn.

Is that Baggio before the meniscus was removed?

"Perfect step-over feint!"

"Terrifyingly balanced feet, unbelievably precise touch!"

"Too dashing, too gorgeous!"

...

Wenger opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Bilic's eyes were dull.

It was foreseeable that the coaching staff of the entire Premier League would be unable to sleep tonight because a new research topic had emerged!

Clap!

Clap clap clap!

Applause like a tide.

"Lee!!!"

"Lee!!!"

"Lee!!!"

In the God's-eye view.

Morata, Sanchez, and Walcott had already run into excellent space.

Arsenal used to lack everything, except for sharp knives in the front line.

West Ham United's defense line was crumbling.

Goalkeeper Adrian cursed his teammates a hundred times in his heart!

Both times he lost the ball were because of Payet!

...

No matter how fast the Hammers' defense was, it couldn't be faster than the speed of the pass.

"A few passes tore through West Ham United's empty half."

"Arsenal's chemistry in the midfield is too strong."

"Especially the chemical reaction between Morata and Li Kang."

"Since joining Arsenal this season, the Spanish center forward's footwork and passing awareness have vaguely touched the threshold of the strongest in the world."

Adrian was born in Seville and grew up in the Real Betis youth training camp.

His lifelong dream has been to become the main goalkeeper of the Spanish national team and lift the World Cup trophy.

His dream seems to be very close, right?

Two main players of the national team are only a few meters away from him.

Everyone is a Spanish countryman.

Countrymen see countrymen, and they shoot from behind...with cannons!

Morata casually passed the ball horizontally.

Li Kang came with the wind.

His body tilted.

He cocked his left foot.

Bang!

Accompanied by a terrifying bang that echoed through the night sky.

The ball was like a cannonball.

Carrying a fierce and domineering momentum, it passed over Adrian's head.

The exaggerated ball speed.

The direct line.

Killed all luck.

West Ham United's net was lifted again.

The Hammers were dumbfounded...

2:0!!!

...

"A cannon!"

"An unstoppable close-range cannon!"

"An indescribable tacit cooperation!"

"Morata is always so selfless. With this goal, he has successfully entered the top four of the Premier League's assists chart!"

"Li Kang never disappoints his teammates' kindness; he has helped Arsenal extend their lead!"

"One side's joy sets off the other side's... huh? The referee blew his whistle, signaling the team doctor and stretcher team to enter the field!"

"Cazorla is fine..."

"It's Payet!"

....

Live stream.

The barrage was like a waterfall.

-【Little Lee's classic cannon!】

-【Why does Li Mingdeng seem to have become stronger again tonight?】

-【Who said he can only use his body to get rid of people? Isn't that using dribbling skills to get past three people?】

-【Looking at the replay, Bilic's adjustment was useful. He organized the attack around Payet, and was preparing to shift the attacking point when he got to Arsenal's thirty-meter area. I didn't expect Payet to want to go head-to-head with Little Lee! Stupid!】

-【Is there still hope for my draw?】

-【Yes, West Ham United often comes back from being two or three goals behind and then chasing three or four goals in a row!】

-【Wake up, Li Mingdeng is on the other side; he won't give you a chance.】

-【What's wrong with Payet? Is he dead?】

-【Did he faint?】

-【Damn! His eyes are rolling back!】

....

After a brief emergency treatment.

Payet vaguely opened his eyes, covered in cold sweat.

The world in front of him regained its color.

"Lee?"

"Lee!"

"Don't let him come over!"

His tone contained fear and unease.

The referee, Mike Dean, had a numb expression.

He urged the team doctor and stretcher team to quickly carry the dying Payet off the field.

Pa la.

During the process of leaving the field.

The stretcher team didn't hold on tight.

Payet fell heavily to the ground again.

...

Li Kang hugged his teammates one by one.

The "Balanced Feet Lv4" and "Golden Right Foot" buffs on the system panel flickered a few times before disappearing completely.

Cazorla jogged forward, rubbed his chest, which didn't hurt at all, and looked confused.

"Strange, why is my injury healing so quickly?"

"Lee! Which is your dominant foot?"

"Well, you're gesturing correctly! We can't relax too much; West Ham United is very capable of reversing the situation; they will focus on Payet... Never mind, Payet is off the field."

"Xhaka, calm down; next week's North London derby is the real tough battle!"

....

"According to the news from the front, Payet's injury is very serious this time."

"Looking at the slow motion, it was self-inflicted."

"West Ham United has no choice but to make a substitution adjustment; Noble replaces Payet!"

The game continued.

West Ham United, who lost Payet, had a greatly reduced ability to advance.

Not the overall attacking ability.

But the ability to advance.

Although Payet is slow, as the indispensable "free man in the frontcourt" for the Hammers, his connecting role can really play a core role.

Noble can't take on this responsibility for the time being.

Bilic's tactical thinking is very simple because complex problems are left to the core players to handle.

With Payet's serious injury.

West Ham United's upcoming schedule will be very difficult.

A system built around one core is very fragile.

But people believe in the Hammers' resilience and believe that they will soon climb up again and wave the "robbing the rich to help the poor" butcher knife at the Premier League Big Six again!

....

The game was no longer in doubt.

Arsenal didn't have Wenger, but they still had Li Kang.

Under the command and dispatch of the 200 million man, his teammates cut through the West Ham United defense like chopping vegetables.

The sharp reduction in defensive pressure.

Allowed Maguire and Mustafi to squeeze to the front line, turning into head-butting assassins!

What about the defense line?

Bellerín and Monreal, the two little dwarfs, reluctantly switched their roles from full-backs to center-backs.

Of course.

There was also Xhaka in front of the two.

...

Wenger crossed his arms in front of his chest, watching the formation changes on the green field with joy.

Even if he was still worried about West Ham United's script of chasing three goals in a row to reverse the situation.

"Even if West Ham United counter-attacks, they can't bring us too much threat in terms of numbers."

"Carroll is not good at counter-attacking transitions; his aerial advantage can only be reflected in positional warfare."

"Ayew, who was originally good at counter-attacking, doesn't have any advantage in terms of speed compared to Bellerín and Monreal..."

"Lee... he's really too good."

....

Time passed unknowingly.

The Hammers fans gradually left the field as the score gap widened.

Only the songs of Arsenal fans were left in the Emirates Stadium.

Finally.

The referee, Mike Dean, looked at his watch.

He blew the whistle to end the game.

Arsenal 6:0 West Ham United!

A hearty victory.

The Gunners didn't pay the price of any injuries.

Li Kang looked at his jumping and leaping teammates with a hint of regret...

"Lee, we will definitely overturn Tottenham next week!"

"Arsenal is the King of London!"

The system prompt sounded again.

[Ding! Congratulations on unlocking the achievement: King of London!]

[Current progress: 1/5.]
