This kind of play is obviously not the style they dreamed of as children, and it brings them no joy at all.
But as a mid-table team facing a league giant like Arsenal, if they want to earn points, they must swallow their pride and wait for those possible 3-4 counterattack opportunities, 1-2 scoring chances.

"This time Giroud has the ball, passes to Van Persie! General Fan's low shot!! The ball is in!! The ball is still in!
"In the 37th minute of the match, Arsenal took the lead with one to zero!
"The Sunderland Team focused their defensive game too much on the flanks, letting Van Persie and Giroud loose in the middle; the two just now went two against one with John O'Shea!
"A very sudden goal! This renders all Sunderland's defensive efforts over the past few minutes futile!
"This also symbolizes the kick-off goal for Arsenal's new Premier League season! I wonder if General Fan will have a chance to compete with Ma'el for the Golden Boot!"
