Before stepping onto the field.

Lee Kang received a tight hug from his old friend from Leverkusen.

He could clearly feel that the other person's pectoral muscles had become much larger and more elastic, and his elbows were also thicker.

Son Heung-min, through his own efforts and muscle-building transformation, restraining his desires, gradually adapted to the Premier League.

Up to this round, he had scored 14 goals and provided 6 assists throughout the season, with only 23 starting opportunities.

If Leverkusen was a period of rapid growth, then the second half of his first season with Tottenham was his fully formed state.

It should be known that during the winter window, he even expressed his unhappiness in the Premier League and considered returning to the Bundesliga. Tottenham almost accepted Wolfsburg's offer.

Son Heung-min quickly released the hug and gently patted the back of Lee Kang's head.

His thoughts seemed to be drawn back to that morning two years ago.

"Lee, good luck."

Lee Kang nodded seriously. This was his first friend when he first arrived at Leverkusen's first team, and he had been particularly enthusiastic in guiding him.

As the players walked out of the tunnel.

The Emirates Stadium erupted in a landslide-like cheer.

In the night sky, a plane flew past, pulling a red and white banner.

‘Co

"We can see Pochettino criticizing his disciple's recklessness, just as he recently criticized Ali's malicious foul. The Tottenham coach has a lot of personal charm. Although their number of fouls ranks first in the Premier League, most of them are tactical fouls."

"If the Lilywhites can maintain this style of play and competitive state, I believe that in the future, they will slowly fill the club's trophy room with championship trophies."

The overall tone of the derby was set with the first foul.

Apart from Ali and Xhaka, the fouls committed by both sides were not too significant, ensuring the smoothness of the game. This smoothness was also seen in the two encounters in the 15/16 season.

Pochettino's Tottenham wants to fairly and squarely rely on their strength to stop their mortal enemy's undefeated season!

Gradually.

It returned to the familiar scene: Arsenal besieging Tottenham.

Toby and Vertonghen were a top-tier center-back combination in the game.

Lee Kang did not give the left-footed center-back a chance to launch a fatal counterattack.

He directed his teammates, and the Gunners' attack was concentrated on Rose's side.

Pochettino quickly made adjustments: letting the physically stronger Son Heung-min and Wanyama assist in the dangerous areas, with Dier retreating to stand parallel with the center-back line, shortening the gaps in the flanks.

The thickening of the central core defense also meant that Lee Kang had no chance to shoot from distance in the center.

Loopholes always appear.

In the 12th minute of the match.

Giroud pulled to the wing, having imitated Mandzukic's role as a winger pivot in team training matches recently.

Maguire suddenly pushed forward, and after receiving the ball, launched a long pass, finding Cazorla!

"Morata's cross-running, sneaking into the penalty area."

"Cazorla's through ball pierced the flank!"

"Beautiful!"

"The Spanish striker backheels the ball with one touch, passing it horizontally to Sanchez who squeezed in!"

"What is Arsenal's explosive point! The small Chilean striker is unstoppable by the tall Belgian center-back!"

"Hey? Isn't he going to shoot himself? There's chaos in Tottenham's penalty area!"

"How did the ball come out?"

"Did he have to pass it to Lee Kang for a shot?"

"Got it!"

Lee Kang faced the uncontrolled ball on the left side of the penalty box.

The phantom of the Zebra Prince did not appear in his vision.

The Turin rainbow did not reappear above Tottenham's penalty area.

Stop the ball.

A cut.

Push towards the near corner!

Even the most critical BBC commentators could not find any flaws in the standard shooting posture!

Thwack!

The ball pierced through the chaotic defense.

Ripping through Tottenham's net.

Lloris roared angrily at Son Heung-min.

1:0!!!

"Goal!"

"Lee Kang has scored his 27th goal in the Premier League! Temporarily ranking first in the scorer list!"

"The handling before the shot was too perfect."

"Dancing on the edge of a knife!"

"Well, looking at the replay… Arsenal's attacking routine is a bit complicated!"

"Sanchez clearly had the opportunity to shoot himself, but he insisted on passing it to Lee Kang!"

"Not disappointing his teammate's good intentions, Lee Kang completed the fatal blow!"

"Compared to the beginning of the season, this Arsenal has become very mature in both attack and defense, and they have the capital to compete for all the championships."

"I sincerely hope that next season, none of these Gunners will be missing!"

[Tears, would Sanchez, the ultimate ball hog, assist in the penalty area?]

-

[Little Lee's teammates at Arsenal may not be as strong as the national team in the European Cup, but they have good chemistry. The cooperation is so smooth and pleasing to the eye!]

[Come on Arsenal, after winning the Champions League, win a European Super Cup! And a Club World Cup!]

This match will end in the next chapter, but I drank two small glasses of wine tonight, and my head hurts too much to write. I'll talk about it tomorrow. I wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival! Don't stay up late during the holidays, get some rest early.
