Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 122: Alaba's second trip! Three people on the same track! The tragic song of Lahm and Robben! The domestic Gunners' forum is hot!
After the restart, there was not much time left for the starting players of both teams, and the tempo seemed to be speeding up again.

"Oh!"

In the 63rd minute of the game, Alexander Song's clearance hit Robben's shoulder and changed direction. The football spun and flew to the left side of the frontcourt.

Maher once again got a chance to confront Alaba on the wing. He took the ball and turned around, looking at the full-back who was teased as "Bayern Liu Xing", and felt that the opponent suddenly had some changes.

There is no longer that rebellious and confident feeling, but it has become submissive.

He didn't know why and didn't pay much attention to it. His legs kept moving around above the football, making a cycling motion.

"Bang bang!"

After pushing the ball to the middle, he pushed the ball to the side again. It didn't seem like he was tired of it at all. He just pushed it quickly and used his speed to eat you up!

Alaba could only chase back with a bitter face. He felt his heart bleeding and his mentality was broken.

This time, he didn't even follow Maher's first five steps and was left behind right from the start!

"Bang!" Maher then sent a ground ball towards the middle, but Badstuber predicted the ball and kicked it out of the sideline.

Alaba ran to the sidelines to pick up the ball in a daze. His mind was blank. The caddy kept passing the ball to him but he didn't react. He was still looking for the ball kicked by Badstuber.

Not far from him, Heynckes noticed the unusual reaction of the young players in the team, and he quickly guessed that it was because of the shock.

Change people?
He resisted the urge and replaced Alaba, which was tantamount to adding the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"He is simply committing a crime!"

Heynckes lamented in his heart the brutality displayed by Maher on the field, feeling distressed, and hoped that this would not leave permanent trauma to Alaba.

He thought of another way. If replacing him didn't work, he could only transfer him to another place.

Heynckes had an idea, took a deep breath and prepared to ask the captain of the team, Lahm, to come over and switch positions with Alaba.
Lahm is an all-around player who can play as a left or right back.

Moreover, except for his weaker strength and confrontation than Alaba, his qualities in all aspects may be stronger than Alaba and Rafinha.

It’s hard to say, but can it relieve the pressure brought by Maher for the team?
"Ram!"

He shouted towards the far end, but saw that Ram had already joined in a new round of attack and could not hear him.

There was no rush. Heynckes told him when the ball was ready and stood on the sidelines waiting.

Soon, Robben in the front field created a corner kick opportunity with a shot, and Bayern players all pressed into the penalty area.

Robben and Lahm, two players who are not good at heading but have great speed, stayed in the backcourt, guarding against the opponent's quick counterattack after clearing the ball.

"Ram!"

Heynckes shouted towards the field, trying to take advantage of this gap to convey his intention to Lahm. This time Lahm heard it, but unfortunately, Toni Kroos from the wing took a corner kick.

Looking at Ram turning his head back to focus on the court, he could only swallow his words and wait for the next dead ball.

"Oh!"

In the penalty area, Koscielny jumped high and headed the ball out of the penalty area. The second penalty fell at Ramsey's feet.

Maher just happened to run back to observe the situation and stood not far from Ramsey.

Ramsey pushed the ball to Mahel, who dribbled the ball out the instant he received it and rushed straight towards the front from the backcourt.

As it was a massive corner attack, Koscielny's clearance was too clean and most of Bayern's players were still near the penalty area.

The only two people left in the backcourt were Lahm and Robben. One of them was the team's right winger and had no defensive ability except speed.

"A good opportunity to fight back!"

In the broadcast room, Shen Fangjian said excitedly: "Will we witness a classic duel?"

"The 18-year-old but already promising Arsenal youngster Maher faces off against the 29-year-old Bayern captain Lahm, who is world-famous!
"Robben is also nearby and he will probably be involved in this defense! It is certain that after watching Maher's performance, everyone is looking forward to him having a speed contest with Robben!

"Mael dribbles the ball! No one can keep up with him, even his teammates are left behind by him. It seems that he is preparing to do it on his own!"

On the court, Maher made many charges today and his physical strength was almost exhausted. He wanted to stimulate the potential in his body and make one final charge.

He dribbled the ball four or five meters with his right foot and reached the center line almost in an instant.

Bayern captain Lahm and Robben lowered their center of gravity and retreated, trying to buy some time for their teammates to catch up. They did not act carelessly or underestimate the enemy.

After this game, Maher has left a deep impression in their hearts. They all paid attention to this young player and knew what kind of talents he possessed.

"You push out, I'll protect you!"

Seeing that they could no longer retreat, Lahm shouted to Robben that there were only two of them and they had to divide the defensive responsibilities well.

Robben answered captain Lahm with his body, slowing down his retreat and soon confronting Mahel.

"Bang" Because he was not a defensive player, Robben gave up his body center of gravity after Mahel just took two steps to shake his body.

But he was very clear that the confrontation between the two had just begun.

He's going to chase back!
There is no way Mahel would eat it raw like he did Alaba and Rafinha!

"Robben was passed, Maher was very fast, Lahm had to retreat quickly to slow him down!
"If you retreat too slowly and can't keep up with Maher's pace, it will be easy for Maher to dribble past you. He is almost the last defensive player!

"He slipped! Ram lost his footing and couldn't keep his coordination while retreating at high speed, even though this is his strong point!
"Bayern Munich's backcourt is empty!"

Forty meters away from the goal, with a forced mistake by Lahm, there was no defensive player in front of Maher. He dribbled the ball towards the penalty area, ready to face Neuer!

"Dengdengdeng!!"

He heard the sounds of Robben and Lahm chasing behind him. He tilted his head and glanced at them with his peripheral vision, and found that both of them were running quite fast and were slowly approaching him.

Especially Robben, when he was without the ball, he really made Maher experience what it was like to be Peter Pan.

After rushing forward two more steps, Maher chose to control the ball and slow down when he saw Robben overtaking from the left. Lahm also took advantage of this gap to come up from the right.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, attacked Mahel, trying to snatch the football from his feet.

"Oh!"

At this moment, Maher kicked the ball forward again and accelerated towards the penalty area.

He is not afraid of speed!

I was just worried that I would be at a disadvantage if I was chased by two players without the ball while I had the ball, and I might be cut off and slow down to trick the two players into slowing down together, and then restart a new round of racing!
There was astonishment in Robben and Lahm's eyes. Given their reputation in the football world, it would be a disgrace if he succeeded.

"Boom!"

The two of them quickly burst out at their fastest speed, catching up with Mahel from the left and right sides respectively, creating a wonderful scene of three people running side by side!

The six legs moved alternately on the same horizontal line, giving people a dazzling feeling, as if countless legs were swinging wildly, dragging out afterimages.

"Click, click!" This was a truly memorable scene. Reporters at the scene took out their cameras and took many photos from the side to capture this moment.

Ten steps later, Bayern captain Lahm was the first to withdraw from the three-way situation. He could not keep up with the speed of the two and was already one body length behind.

"Thump, thump, thump!" Maher and Robben had their final showdown. Neither of them gave in to the other and neither of them gave the other any chance.

Robben always kept half his body in a misaligned position, not wanting to confront the opponent while running; Maher always kept half his body to the side, not giving the opponent a chance to steal the ball.

Two seconds later, both of them rushed into the penalty area. Neuer came out of the goal at this moment, ignoring the team's big brother Robben, and aggressively tackled towards Mahel's feet.

"Bang." Maher's observation ability is very sharp. After seeing Neuer's movement, he took the initiative to move the ball one step outside.

"Snap!" Neuer was startled, knowing that he might have to take a penalty, but he could no longer stop his sliding tackle.

His right leg stretched out towards the two people at high speed. Before knocking down Maher, he first tackled Robben, making him roll forward, and then Maher.

"Beep!"

The referee pointed to the penalty spot and awarded a penalty without a doubt. Neuer squeezed his face in pain and closed his eyes tightly.

"Hiss" Robben fell down and was dizzy. After he got up, he felt stars in his eyes and looked at Neuer in shock.

What are you doing?!

If he wasn't afraid of discouraging his new teammates, he would have really roared like that.

In a sense, he took the first and most powerful hit for Maher. What was even more unacceptable was that not only did he get tackled by his teammates, he also failed to stop Maher, allowing the opponent to create a penalty!
His and Ram's joint defense failed!
Robben was not good at defending and he knew it very well. Even the forwards from the youth team could break through him.

But that was in a one-on-one.

If he chooses to chase back at full speed when the opponent counterattacks and follows him to the end, then at that moment, he will definitely be the top defender in the world!
Because chasing back requires speed, not defensive skills.

In terms of speed, he is second in European football, and it is difficult for more than three people to say that they are the first.

Even if there was, he would not give in. In the end, they still failed to stop the 18-year-old young player and let him create a penalty?
"Wow!" The Arsenal fans in the stadium exclaimed. Many of them had a brain orgasm, engraved Maher's figure deeply in their minds, and clapped their hands excitedly.

"Fuck! Awesome! This kid is so fucking awesome!"

"So fast! Robben couldn't catch up!"

"Fuck! Who's faster between him and Walcott? He seems to be faster than the little tiger, and his lower body is more stable. What's more terrible is that there is confrontation!"

"The future is bright!"

"Henry! He's the new Henry!"

Even many Bayern Munich fans looked at Maher in surprise. Some held their heads, some opened their mouths wide, all with a look of amazement.

"Ouch!!"

In the broadcast room, Shen Fangjian couldn't help but blurt out another catchphrase, his voice full of shock, "Failed to stop him! Lahm and Robben didn't stop Maher's crazy attack in this counterattack!
"We all know that Robben's speed is one of the best in Europe! Lahm may be small, but he is also one of the best full-backs in European football!

"In such a situation, Maher still created a penalty! It seems that as long as he is given space to speed up, he is like a beast and cannot be stopped!

"Even though he didn't score directly, it still ignited the atmosphere at the scene. We saw that the fans in the stands were very crazy. They must have remembered this young player!"

On the sidelines, in the Arsenal coaching booth, all the coaching staff fell silent upon seeing this shocking scene.

There was neither crazy celebration nor exaggerated exclamation, only silence.

Wenger was immersed in the atmosphere of the scene at the moment. Thinking of the scene that just happened in front of him, he felt a little fascinated and intoxicated. He let out a long breath to calm his shocked heart.

Even Robben couldn't keep up with him?

Ram also failed to form an effective block?
"Mael," he couldn't help but whisper the name, and murmured with his mouth slightly open: "Lucky, really lucky."

"Mr. Wenger."

Philip recovered from his shock and looked at Maher with an intoxicated look on his face. "I really want to say that this is no longer just a simple and rough physical competition, but an art of explosiveness."

“Haha.” Wenger laughed softly, his chest rising and falling, and then he shook his head in excitement, “Unbelievable physical fitness!

"With him in the new season, we don't have to worry about counterattacks against strong teams."

"Yes." Philip nodded slightly, repeating in his mind: monster, monster, monster
On the other side, the Bayern Munich coaching bench.

Bayern captain Lahm came to Heynckes with a guilty look on his face and asked, "Sir, what happened just now? Do you have any instructions?"

Heynckes looked at him dumbfounded, and hesitated several times before finally sighing helplessly, "It's okay."

He couldn't defend it even if he switched over, and if Ram's body hit him, he might even be at risk of getting injured.

"Beep!"

On the field, the referee blew the whistle, indicating that a penalty kick could be awarded.

Maher stood in front of the penalty spot, looked at Neuer opposite him, took a deep breath and prepared to take the penalty.

The team's penalty taker is Van Persie, who has little experience at the moment and certainly cannot compete with the opponent for this position.

But in a friendly match, no one paid much attention to the final statistics, so Van Persie naturally let him take the penalty he created.

"Oh!"

Maher thought for a long time and couldn't decide where to kick the ball. He rushed forward and kicked the ball towards the middle. This works every time when the goalkeeper doesn't know you.

As expected, Neuer flew to the right side very 'cooperatively', and the football easily touched the unguarded center net!
"Yeah!" The cheers from the scene rang out again, and the expectations of Arsenal fans were met. This goal without the ball was probably the perfect ending to the gorgeous performance just now!

Maher laughed and opened his arms, feeling very satisfied to think about how he had accomplished such an achievement in this game and how he had brought such a wonderful performance to the fans in his hometown.

"Yeah!" He rushed to the corner flag area of ​​​​Worker's Stadium excitedly, took off his jersey, and showed off his almost perfect body.

Amid the screams of the fans, he slid down the baseline gracefully on his knees. After standing up, he continued to wave his fists towards the fan area for a long time before stopping.

Everyone watching him knew very well that after this round of games, he would officially enter the vision of the mainstream media and the hearts of Arsenal fans!

2 goal and 2 assist!
What an amazing performance!
Wenger replaced Maher two minutes later. When he left the field, he just smiled and touched Maher's head without saying anything.

But the smile on his face did not fade until the end of the game, as if it was frozen.

The goal-scoring battle was not over yet. After the substitutes from both sides came on the field, the game became more intense and every substitute player showed off himself crazily.

In the end, Arshavin scored the fifth goal for Arsenal through his breakthrough, and Bayern's Nils Petersen scored a goal from a corner kick.

Five to four!
A real goal-scoring battle!
Around 5:30 in the afternoon, fans began to leave the stadium one after another, withdrawing from the heated atmosphere.

Lin Youliang and Zhou Yi walked out of the stadium together, but they were still so excited that they felt like they were still inside the stadium.

"It's just like a dream!"

Zhou Yi was naturally very happy to see that the young player he had been following for a long time actually had such a performance in his debut. He even walked more arrogantly, as if he had become the domestic spokesperson for Maher.

"I'll feature your post."

Lin Youliang didn't know how to describe his shock to him, so he could only say this childish sentence to express his feelings.

The stands where they were sitting were the ones close to Maher during the second half.

They clearly saw Maher twice pass Alaba, saw Maher break through the blockade of Robben and Lahm, create a penalty and score it himself.

Whenever he thinks of that scene, Lin Youliang's whole body will tremble slightly, and goose bumps will appear on his arms and chest. "I think it will be difficult for Arshavin to compete with him. He has to stay as the main player on the left.

"I need to promote him well in the forum. I'll write a post right now. Let's go and have a barbecue together."

The two took a taxi at the intersection and headed towards a nearby barbecue restaurant.

Lin Youliang was sitting in the car, opened the mobile post bar, and was about to edit it when he saw more than 200 new posts appearing in a burst.

Without exception, they were all fans who had just watched Maher's game. They were praising Maher's performance in the forum and wanted to praise him to the sky!

"40 goals in the Championship! 27 assists! Maher may become another pillar of Arsenal after Fabregas leaves!"

The post that has been ranked at the top and constantly refreshed by fans is the long introduction and discussion written by Zhou Yi before. It has never been popular, but at this moment it instantly received thousands of replies.

"Zhou Yi."

Lin Youliang picked up his phone and said with a smile, "Maybe there's no need to add it to the featured posts. This post probably won't be removed within a week."

Zhou Yi took a look and there was a little more excitement in his eyes. It was the joy of being recognized. He picked up his phone and looked through the replies in the post with Lin Youliang.

“It was my first time watching a game live, can anyone tell me if it’s because watching a game on TV is different from watching a game in person?

"The impact of that Maher is simply amazing, the shocking feeling is overwhelming!"

"Same question! Is it true that when we watch a game on TV, even if some players perform well, the impact they have on us will be weakened?
"I watched Maher live today and finally understood why good players are so expensive. It really feels like he is not of the same species as us."

"You are right. Watching a game on TV is different from watching it live. But... is there a possibility that the best player in the Championship today was so explosive? I often watch games live and I also think he is a monster."

"No wonder! The English Championship has 40+27 data, which makes sense! I thought it suddenly came out of nowhere."

"After watching the whole thing, I can only say two words: awesome! He even outshone Robin van Persie and a bunch of Bayern Munich stars today. He was in great form."

"Heynckes is really incompetent. He should be fired sooner rather than later. He was waiting for them to counterattack and he was aggressive in attacking. He left them a lot of space for counterattack every time. It was not unfair for them to lose."

"If he keeps up this form, he will definitely score 15+ in the new Premier League season! Come on! I will keep an eye on him!"

"He's as fast as Robben, better at physical confrontation and better at shooting! I'm really looking forward to it!"

"."

There is no doubt that Maher conquered the Arsenal fans in China just by virtue of this giant battle at the Workers' Stadium.

His name will spread like a plague throughout the Arsenal fan circle, and slowly spread to the entire domestic fan circle watching the Premier League, and even spread throughout the domestic football world.

"You said."

Lin Youliang flipped through the magazine for a while and whispered curiously, "How crazy are the Arsenal fans in the UK?"

"do not know."

Zhou Yi shook his head, thought for a while and tried to answer: "If I were in the UK, I would sleep until the day the Premier League starts, and when I open my eyes and close them, I will see Maher appear in front of me."

"Haha." The two laughed together in the car, attracting the driver's attention.

On the way out, they saw many Arsenal fans and Bayern fans sitting together in harmony, sometimes laughing and sometimes complaining with their hands up helplessly.

This summer, the passion for football will begin like this.
