Gnabry also felt a bit embarrassed and raised his hand to signal: "That was my bad, sorry, big guy! Next time I'll just take a wild shot like you."

"Who are you calling fat? You big-headed one! You and Bellerín both have big heads!" Lu Junfeng immediately shot back!

Bellerín looked confused: "What the heck? Why am I getting dragged into this?"

At that moment, the coach on the sidelines instructed: "Lu, don't go to the flanks; stay in the middle!"

Damn it! They won't let me play on the wing again! But there was no choice; Lu wanted to stay at Arsenal, so he had to follow the coach's instructions.

In the final moments of the first half, Arsenal formed another offensive. Lu quickly moved into the center. "Bellerín, pass it quickly! I'm in the middle!"

"Nice one!"

"I'm going for a header… damn it, I didn't connect!"

If I couldn't even head the ball with my height of 1.9 meters on your cross, how ridiculous is that pass?! Forget it; I can't keep cursing my teammates. Lu gave Bellerín a thumbs-up to show his support.

At halftime, the score was locked at 1-0, with Arsenal having scored from an early surprise attack. In the locker room, the coach drew on the tactical board while instructing Lu: "You need to be more flexible with your positioning; don't just stand in one place. It makes it easy for the opponent to mark you. Move around more to keep them guessing. Also, in the second half, you'll mainly focus on feigning attacks and setting up plays for your midfield teammates."

"Feigning attacks? You want me to feign attacks at 1.9 meters and over 200 pounds?" Lu exclaimed excitedly.

"What? Do you have a problem with that?" The coach looked up at him.

"No, no, feigning attacks is fine…" It's frustrating being an unknown player; whatever the coach says is what you have to do. Who hasn't gone through this?

As the second half began, Arsenal wasn't satisfied with a 1-0 lead and continued to control the pace of the game. Lu leaned against an opposing defender in the center after receiving a pass from a teammate. Immediately, another opponent came over to provide support.

This time, Lu didn't attempt a forceful turn and burst forward; instead, he passed it to his teammate on the right flank. Then he quickly turned and made a run into the penalty area while shouting: "Bellerín, look at me! I've created an opportunity! Quick pass! Can you play football? You didn't pass when there was such a good chance for a cutback… Wait, what? It went in?! Don't say anything; that was quite beautiful!"

On the field, because Lu was drawing defenders in the penalty area, there was space on the right side of the box. Bellerín made a run down to deliver a back pass to Gnabry, who then scored with a beautiful long-range shot! Arsenal led 2-0 against Southampton!

All of Lu's teammates gathered around the corner flag to celebrate. "That goal has my contribution too, right? I drew those defenders away," Lu said proudly.

"Yeah, we'll count that as a quarter of an assist for you," Gnabry replied sarcastically. "You can't score an easy goal but insist on doing this!" The young men laughed and joked around as the match continued.

Being two goals down made Southampton players increasingly anxious. Meanwhile, Arsenal players remained calm and played according to their coach's instructions. After an unsuccessful long ball aimed at Lu from an Arsenal player, Southampton regained possession and pushed forward immediately.

However, they quickly made a mistake again, allowing Arsenal players to regain control of the ball. Gnabry received it and launched a long pass behind! Lu understood immediately; he turned and accelerated away from his defender.

"Nice! Another opportunity coming up! Oh no! I took too big of a touch; that's okay; I can adjust. Oh no! A defender is coming over! No worries; watch me fake a shot and then stop abruptly for a powerful cutback! Haha! One past him! What?! Another defender?! No problem! Another fake shot and cutback! What?! More and more defenders are coming! I'll just take a shot!"

On the field, Lu faked two right-footed shots but instead maneuvered past two rushing defenders. Although his movements were somewhat awkward, the inexperienced defenders fell for it and slipped as they tried to block his shots.

Seeing more defenders closing in on him, Lu decided to take a powerful left-footed shot! "Boom!" The distance was too close; with too much speed on his shot, the goalkeeper couldn't react in time!

Goal!!!!!!!! In the second half, Arsenal scored again—now leading 3-0!

"Hey! How about that Gnabry? My goal was prettier than yours! I toyed with their entire defense line! Dazzling flowers may confuse your eyes; being toyed with by me is not embarrassing at all! This is what it means to be a top striker!"

As the young men celebrated excitedly, members of the coaching staff began jotting down notes again. This Lu Junfeng is indeed a weapon for counter-attacks! Though his technical skills are still rough around the edges, he has speed and physicality along with powerful shots—definitely enough against average teams.

With a three-goal lead, Arsenal's reserve players felt much more relaxed. Now they just needed to solidify their defense and focus on counter-attacks. At this point, Lu followed his coach's instructions by staying up front waiting for teammates' passes while figuring out how to control the ball and set up teammates for runs.

The coaching staff hoped he would become that pivot-type forward. No single defender could handle him alone; often two defenders were required just to mark him. This physicality made Southampton's reserve team coach shake his head in disbelief: "This guy is only 19? Where did Arsenal find such a monster? Are they really going to change their style and adopt Chelsea's physical approach from back in their heyday?"

Meanwhile, members of Arsenal's coaching staff were looking increasingly excited. This might just be the answer for Arsenal's attacking line!
