Chapter 714 132: Dribbling Past 7 Players! Arsenal Awakens! The Number One Player in World Football! I Want to Play Like Him!

It was safe to say that from the start of the new season until now, every opponent the Gunners had faced was incredibly tough.

Even so, they still secured a record of four wins and one loss! This was especially true at Old Trafford, where they had been reduced to ten men early on due to a red card, falling into disarray and conceding consecutive goals.

"When the score was 1-5, I believe even the most loyal Arsenal fans had completely despaired.

"Everyone was even praying that it wouldn't turn into a crazy massacre.

"Who could have imagined that the final result would be 4-5!"

The Times believed that based on the result alone, Arsenal had indeed lost. However, the Gunners had won something much more precious.

"Losing the match only costs three points, but Arsenal found the fighting spirit they had lost for years.

"When Wang Shuo led the Arsenal players to launch attack after attack at Old Trafford Stadium, forcing Manchester United to retreat into their penalty area, every Gunners fan was trembling with excitement!

"This is the invincible pride of lions they had been waiting for!"

The Times even featured a close-up photo of Wang Shuo roaring during the match on their front page the following day, accompanied by the headline: "The invincible lion has been awakened!"

Guardian Newspaper, on the other hand, relayed Wenger's comments from the post-match press conference. The Gunners' manager stated that the team hadn't lost. "We won dignity, and we won our fighting spirit.

"Most importantly, through this match, we can announce to all Arsenal fans that our decisions were right!

"That invincible Arsenal is marching toward us!

"A brand-new era belonging to Wang Shuo and Arsenal has begun, woven from a tapestry of defeat and glory!"

Ferguson refused to admit that his team had "lost" in any sense, feeling the final score of 5-4 was unfair.

"Everyone says Arsenal won the process, but in reality, we took the three points. For the majority of the match, we also held the initiative."

At the same time, Ferguson denied receiving any favorable treatment at home.

"The red card and the penalty were fair; there is absolutely no reason to question them.

"Arsenal has indeed been troubled and affected by many injuries, but haven't we?

"Vidic, Ferdinand, Carrick...

"We also had a lot of core players missing, didn't we?"

As for Wang Shuo, Ferguson had to admit that he was becoming Arsenal's new leader.

"From the first time I saw him play, I knew he would become an extraordinary player. Much like Cantona back in the day, he carries a natural aura of leadership."

Earning the unanimous approval of both managers, Wang Shuo was also showered with praise by countless media outlets and fans after the match. With two goals and one assist, Arsenal's other goal had also been orchestrated by him. In fact, Wang Shuo receiving the ball in the penalty area, shaking off Evans, and delivering a brilliant pass to Hazard had been the critical link in Arsenal's goal.

In this match, Wang Shuo fully showcased his strength and proved his worth, especially with his final ninety-meter solo run, dribbling past seven players.

However, the shock Wang Shuo brought obviously didn't end there.

On the morning after the match, Sky Sports officially published the running stats for the game. Astonishingly, in just ninety minutes, Wang Shuo had covered a staggering distance of 16.7 kilometers!

Over the years, everyone had argued that the 16.1 kilometers Beckham allegedly ran in the national team match against Greece was controversial. After all, back in 2001, there were no clear standards for running statistics, and the tracking technology wasn't advanced enough. Although many media outlets and fans acknowledged that figure, it had never been officially recognized by authoritative media or governing bodies.

But this time, Sky Sports officially announced that in the match against Manchester United, Wang Shuo had run a breathtaking 16.7 kilometers. Whether Beckham's record was real or fake, it had now been shattered!

One thing could verify Wang Shuo's incredible stat sheet. That was the notification he received from the Ball God System the next morning.

"Congratulations. During the 11/12 season Premier League match against Manchester United, you broke the world football record for single-match running distance. Reward: 50 Passive Value points. Please claim..."

Lying on his hotel bed, Wang Shuo was quite surprised when he received the message. He hadn't received this notification during the post-match summary last night.

With this in mind, Wang Shuo immediately entered the Ball God System and claimed the message along with the 50 Passive Value points. Afterward, he pulled up his Personal Attribute Panel and saw that his Passive Value had accumulated to 123 points.

Playing against Manchester United had earned him a whopping 13 Passive Value points. He thought the speed of accumulation was pretty good!

Wang Shuo quickly walked up to the giant football and invested 100 Passive Value points into the Passive Skill "First Move," upgrading it from National Level to Intercontinental Level.

As a result, Wang Shuo's only remaining National Level Passive Skills were "Inverted Foot" and "Insight." Given just a little more time, he would upgrade these two Passive Skills in no time. When that time came, he would be far more powerful than he was now!

Last night, after playing Manchester United and returning to London, the Arsenal squad disbanded on the spot. The players were all rushing back to report to their respective national teams.

Despite having many young players, the Gunners actually boasted a vast number of senior internationals. Moreover, even those who weren't senior internationals were essentially youth internationals with their own national team fixtures to fulfill.
