Chapter 815 - 147: Charge! Unstoppable Wang Shuo! The Fastest Hat-Trick in History! De Bruyne’s Deadly Diagonal Pass!

While the 60,000 Gunners fans in the Emirates Stadium were still immersed in the excitement and thrill of Wang Shuo’s goal, the man himself didn’t run off to celebrate after his quick strike.

He dashed straight to the goalmouth, scooped up the ball that had rolled out of the net, and sprinted back toward the halfway line.

"Stop celebrating and get back!"

At Wang Shuo’s command, his teammates, who had been about to celebrate the goal, immediately followed him and ran back. This scene made the entire Emirates Stadium boil over! The Gunners fans could all tell that this was undoubtedly the bugle call to charge!

This had already happened many times this season. In the past, Wenger’s team always left an impression of being elegant yet fragile. But ever since Wang Shuo took over as captain this season, the Gunners had repeatedly displayed an unstoppable, tiger-like momentum. In particular, this iron-blooded will and spiritual strength, where everyone bravely pushed forward, was something Arsenal hadn’t seen in years.

It was a rare sight, even during the Invincibles era when Vieira was captain!

Carrying this imposing aura, the Gunners quickly created another opportunity less than two minutes after the match restarted.

De Bruyne received the ball in the right inside channel of the final 30-meter zone. With a glance at the penalty box, he immediately spotted Wang Shuo’s position and delivered a direct, curving diagonal cross, aiming for him near the left corner of the six-yard box.

Caboul beat him to the header. However, under pressure from Wang Shuo, the ball was headed out to the left side outside the penalty box.

Hazard swiftly surged forward. After trapping the ball, he faced Kyle Walker’s defense, suddenly drove down to the byline, and executed a cutback pass. Modric, having tracked back in time, stepped in first and blocked the ball out of the penalty area.

But the clearance didn’t go far.

Outside the box, Arteta anticipated the play, sliding in to tackle the ball toward Alexandre Song just outside the 30-meter zone. By this point, the Gunners had effectively laid siege to Tottenham Hotspur.

After bringing the ball down, Alexandre Song noticed an unmarked De Bruyne raising his hand for the ball in the right inside channel outside the penalty box, and immediately passed it over.

By the time the ball reached De Bruyne’s feet, Tottenham Hotspur’s defensive line had just started to push up, attempting to force Wang Shuo, Hazard, and the others out of the penalty area. Spotting Wang Shuo, De Bruyne played a precise through ball right to Ledley King’s right side.

Wang Shuo understood the intention instantly and looped around. With his back to the goal, he used the inside of his left foot to guide the ball smoothly behind Ledley King. At the same time, he spun around rapidly, launching into a sprint with explosive acceleration. In an instant, he caught up to the ball and fired a low shot with his right foot.

From trapping the ball and turning to initiating the shooting, the entire sequence happened in the blink of an eye.

Let alone Ledley King not having time to react, even the goalkeeper Friedel, who bore the brunt of the strike, was caught completely off guard. Before he could even attempt a dive, the ball had already nestled into the bottom left corner of the Tottenham Hotspur net.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!

"It’s tied!

"My God! In the 40th minute, Arsenal has successfully leveled the score!

"Two to two!

"This is absolutely incredible!

"We’ve just witnessed Arsenal score two consecutive goals in less than two minutes!

"It’s unbelievable! The Gunners have launched a desperate counterattack right before the end of the first half!"

But Wang Shuo still wasn’t satisfied. After scoring, he kept shouting at his teammates, rushing back quickly to save time and get ready for the kickoff.

And when Tottenham Hotspur kicked off again, Arsenal continued to press forward aggressively. They quickly won the ball back.

Arteta rapidly distributed the ball to the left flank. Hazard drove forward with the ball. Facing Kyle Walker, the Belgium winger unleashed a series of feints to bypass his opponent. Though he was unsuccessful, the overlapping Gibbs seized the opportunity.

The young left-back overlapped, received the ball, and sent a low, driven cross across the face of the goal. At the near post, Caboul booted the ball clear, but possession still fell to Arsenal.

The Gunners linked up with consecutive passing, getting the ball to Alexandre Song.

Tottenham Hotspur’s defensive line also began to push up. Wang Shuo immediately retreated from the penalty box, dropping deep to offer support while dragging Ledley King out with him. Walcott made a rapid diagonal run into the space left behind Ledley King.

Alexandre Song played a long ball over the top, aiming to find Little Tiger inside the box. However, Tottenham Hotspur was well-prepared. Ledley King sprinted back desperately, while Caboul anticipated the play to secure the position, barely managing to shield off Walcott and head the ball away.

The ball was headed into the Arc Top District.

Wang Shuo charged over immediately. Just as he brought the ball under control, Parker chased him down from behind, and Modric simultaneously engaged him from the front. The two men attempted to sandwich him from both sides.

But who was Wang Shuo?

Faced with a pincer movement from two players, the effects of his [Controller] and [Hunter] skills were pushed to their absolute limits. His feet touched the ball in rapid succession, making it utterly impossible for Modric and Parker to dispossess him.

Not only did they fail to win the ball, but Wang Shuo actually managed to turn and face the goal amidst his nimble twists and turns.

When Kranjcar lunged from the left to join the tackle, Wang Shuo, with a flash of Spiritual Light, gave the ball a gentle poke, nutmegging Kranjcar. Shoving past the defender, he exploded into a lateral sprint to the left.

Catching up to the ball, he directly whipped a curling shot with his left foot. Tracing a beautiful arc, the football drilled straight into the top left corner of the Tottenham Hotspur goal!
