At 19 minutes, Grosso suppressed Arsenal's flank attack with his tough defense.
Lauren had wanted to rely on his speed to outflank Grosso; however, he didn't expect that this towering figure of 1.9 meters also had no lack of pace. Catching up, Grosso performed a flying tackle and executed a perfect defense.
Yet after going down, Lauren was slow to get back to his feet.
The Arsenal medics came onto the field, and subsequently indicated that Lauren couldn't continue the game.
On the sidelines for Arsenal, Wu Xudong began to warm up urgently.
Fans in distant China were particularly excited.
The China Derby was on once again!
Even though the real China Derby should involve Wu Xudong and Sun Jihai, the latter had yet to take the field.
But no Chinese would refuse to consider Deng Kai one of their own.
