119: Chapter 119 Yu Bai's Unique Skill

Mauricio Pochettino immediately made adjustments, bringing on Son Heung-min and Mousa Dembélé to replace Erik Lamela, who had performed excellently on the right flank in the first half despite not contributing any goals or assists, and the exhausted Christian Eriksen.

A substitution is like reloading!

In the 68th minute, after Tottenham withstood a wave of Arsenal attacks, they finally launched an effective counterattack.

Kyle Walker intercepted Alexis Sánchez's breakthrough in a one-on-one on the right flank. Without hesitation, he immediately delivered a long diagonal pass, sending the ball into the open space on the right side of the frontcourt!

Son Heung-min surged forward at high speed like a bolt of yellow lightning! He controlled the ball perfectly, used his speed to overpower the backtracking Gibbs, and charged into the area near the byline on the right side of the penalty box!

He looked up to assess the situation in the penalty box, then immediately delivered a cut-back pass towards his teammate near the penalty spot!

Inside the penalty box, Harry Kane and Yu Bai executed a brilliant cross-run! Kane moved from the near post to the far post, drawing the defense; meanwhile, Yu Bai quietly surged forward from the far post to attack the near post!

Son Heung-min's pass was extremely fast, but the trajectory was a bit "awkward." The ball rolled rapidly along the ground toward the near post, staying very close to Yu Bai's body, almost brushing against his standing foot!

There was no time to adjust for a normal Shooting posture!

In a flash, relying almost entirely on instinct and extraordinary ball sense, Yu Bai made a jaw-dropping choice!

He didn't attempt to control or push the ball with his right foot. Instead, while running, he suddenly lifted his right leg, bending his lower leg backward, and just as the ball was about to roll past his side—

He used his right heel to lightly and precisely flick it behind him!

Scorpion kick!

"Bang!"

A soft sound.

The ball was struck by Yu Bai's heel, changing direction and tracing a weird little arc. It slowly rolled into the far corner of the goal, right between the legs of David Ospina, who was preparing to block the near post and had his vision completely obscured by Yu Bai's body!

4:1!!!

"Gooooooooooooal!!!"

"Scorpion kick! Yu Bai has pierced through Arsenal's goal again with an incredible scorpion kick!"

"Genius imagination! Extraordinary ball sense! The ball is in!"

"A brace! Yu Bai has killed the game!"

David Ospina stood in place, spreading his hands, his face full of speechlessness and despair! He hadn't even seen how the ball went in!

Yu Bai turned around, saw the ball hit the net, and a brilliant smile appeared on his face! He rushed towards the corner flag area, raised his "binoculars" again, and accepted the tsunami-like worship from the entire stadium!

[Scorpion kick! Holy crap! Young Master's goal is legendary!]

[Yu Bai's ball sense is invincible!]

[David Ospina: Who am I? Where am I? Where is the ball?]

In the end, the 4:1 scoreline held until the final whistle. Yu Bai played the full match, scored a brace, and "assisted" Per Mertesacker in scoring two own goals, undoubtedly earning the Man of the Match award!

After the match, the media did not spare their praise for Yu Bai:

"The new King of North London! Yu Bai dominates the derby with his magical feet!"

"From 'Five goals in nine minutes record' to 'Scorpion kick,' Yu Bai's Arsenal is bottomless!"

"Tottenham has found their true core! With Yu Bai, competing for the title is not just a dream!"

Back home, in the studio.

Commentator Zhan Jun: "A magnificent match! Congratulations to Tottenham, congratulations to Yu Bai! Match preview: Tottenham's next match will be the Europa League Round of 16 in 6 days. They will visit the Westfalenstadion to challenge the Bundesliga powerhouse, Borussia Dortmund! At that time, what kind of astonishing performance will Yu Bai, who just staged the 'Five goals in nine minutes record' in the Europa League, bring us?"

Commentator Zhang Lu chuckled: "This match will be good! The 'Bumblebees' led by Thomas Tuchel are a youthful storm with fierce attacking power, and they won't be easy to deal with. Both sides are teams that advocate attacking and are young and energetic; this duel will be a real fight!"

March 10, Germany, Dortmund.

The entire Tottenham team stayed at a local luxury hotel, preparing for tomorrow's first leg of the Europa League Round of 16 against Borussia Dortmund.

In the evening, Yu Bai just finished the team's pre-match preparation meeting and returned to his room.

Outside the window, the city lights of Dortmund gradually lit up, and the huge silhouette of the Westfalenstadion could be vaguely seen in the distance.

Just then, his phone rang. The caller ID showed—Mother, Shen Muwan.

Yu Bai answered the phone: "Mom."

On the other end of the line, Shen Muwan's voice carried unconcealable excitement and a hint of trembling: "Xiao Bai! Just now... just now, staff from The FA contacted me!"

"They have officially sent an invitation to watch the match! At the end of this month, the England team has two friendly matches at Wembley against Germany and the Netherlands! Although the final squad list hasn't been announced yet, they invited me to attend as a family member! They also expressed their gratitude to me, saying that I raised such a good son... Xiao Bai, Mom is so happy! You are the greatest pride of my life!"

Yu Bai held the phone, listening to his mother's excited words, his lips curling up slightly involuntarily. He could imagine his mother's joyful appearance on the other end of the phone.

"Hmm, Mom, why say all that? I'm also very proud that my mom is beautiful, and a strong career woman too!"

Yu Bai said softly, his tone calm, but ripples stirred in his heart.

Wearing the England jersey, representing The Three Lions... this day was finally coming.

"Such a sweet mouth! Mom can't compare to you; you are too amazing!"

Shen Muwan said repeatedly, her voice somewhat choked with emotion, "Mom will definitely be there! I will watch your match at Wembley! And I will prepare a gift for you!"

The mother and son chatted about daily life for a few more minutes, wished each other well, and hung up the phone.

Not long after, a call from his father, Yu Yun, also came through. The content was much the same, with his usual straightforward and proud tone, and he also indicated that he would be there to support him.

After hanging up his father's call, Yu Bai walked to the floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room, looked at the foreign night scene outside, and a calm and firm smile appeared on his face.

Since I've chosen this path, I'll just play football well.

As for the rest, let it be.

He raised his hand and pressed it gently against the cold glass, his gaze seemingly piercing through the night sky, casting towards tomorrow's battlefield.

"Right now," he whispered to himself, his voice clearly audible in the quiet room, carrying an eager excitement and immense confidence:

"I just want to let the world witness—"

"My unique skill."
