Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 243 What, a goal drought? ! A good start! Recreate the classic celebration! The big signings are officially here!

"Once the season starts, no one can stop us!"

"Everything is in order, Maher. Maher.!!"

Inside the magnificent Emirates Stadium, more than 50,000 Arsenal fans excitedly raised their arms and clapped their hands, singing their most familiar song "Hot Stuff", still mixing in the players' names.

After three months, they finally waited for the first round of the new Premier League season!

For them, this is not just a grand event, but also an indispensable part of their lives.

Since they were very young, they have been accustomed to using the rounds of the game to record time and using the home team's record to determine their mood for the week.

Last season, the team hardly ever let them down. The players' excellent performance on the court kept them in joy and passion, and was always able to smooth out and heal the disappointments and scars in their lives.

The new season has begun, and a new stage of their lives has also begun.

Everyone hopes that the team can bring them as much encouragement and hope as it did last season, or even do better than last season, and bring more to the team and them!

"Ohhhh!"

In front of the player tunnel, Arsenal captain Maher and Sunderland captain John O'Shea led the players of both teams out, which aroused applause and cheers from the fans.

They all had bright smiles on their faces, as if they had been looking forward to the new season for a long time.

You can strive for the achievements you didn’t accomplish last year this year; you can try your best to reach the heights you didn’t reach last year this year!
This cannot be said to be a new start after a complete reshuffle, but it definitely symbolizes a brand new journey.

“Dear viewers, the match you are watching now is the 12-13 season, the first round of the Premier League, Arsenal’s home game against Sunderland!
"Wenger played his best in this game, trying to get a good start in the new season. This was also the team's 39th consecutive unbeaten game!"

"."

On the big screens on both sides of the Emirates Stadium, the starting players of both teams were played.

It can be seen that Arsenal still used the same 4-4-2 configuration as in the last game, while Sunderland chose 4-5-1. From the formation, it can be seen which team is aggressive and which is conservative, who is attacking and who is counterattacking.

After the starting lineup was played, a video of the trophy was played on the screen.

It was not the Community Shield trophy that Arsenal lifted a few days ago, but the trophy-lifting ceremony in which Maher led the French team in the European Cup. The word "Champions" was written below the video.

After the video ended, a string of characters in red font and golden border, which was in line with the current aesthetic, flashed across the screen: "Welcome back home!

"Welcome back to the Premier League!"

In the first round of the new Premier League season, the first official match of the new season at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal officials used this special way to express their respect for the new European champions again.

"Clap, clap, clap!" Many fans stood up from their seats and clapped, and the applause resounded through the sky again.

Maher greeted them with a beaming face, and during the process, he saw that all the staff at the Emirates Stadium applauded him, including Sunderland players and coaching staff.

Although the European Cup has passed, the honor will remain with him forever and will not be forgotten by people for a long time. This may be why people are so obsessed with glory.

"Papa.!"

Maher also raised his hands and clapped himself. At this moment, his body was full of strength and he was more confident in achieving his own and the team's goals in the new season.

"Beep!"

"Okay, with Van Persie sending the ball from the center circle to Arsenal, the first round of the new Premier League season officially begins!
"Arsenal are undoubtedly the stronger team, but Sunderland obviously have opportunities to score points, and they have achieved good results in the past few warm-up matches.

"Moreover, football is a sport that has all the possibilities. In the past few years, it is not uncommon for players with a value difference of 10 or 100 times to win the game."

"."

"Mael is the most watched player in the Premier League right now, and people want to see what he can accomplish this season.

"He takes the ball and prepares to break through. Have you watched the Emirates Cup and Community Shield this season? We can see that Maher's playing style is different from before.

"Every time he got the ball, he was trying to speed up quickly, putting speed first.

"But now, he's willing to put the ball at his feet a lot of the time and take his time.

“He still had to speed up this time, and he broke into the four-man defense of Sunderland’s right back!

"Break through in a different direction! Break through again! From the perspective of the broadcast, he was like a sharp knife, cutting holes in the defense line carefully arranged by the four people!
“He’s going to pass!

"A cross! Giroud!! Mignolet caught the ball! The Belgian goalkeeper averted a dangerous situation."

"."

After the start of the game, Arsenal firmly controlled the ball, with one wave of attack higher than the other, which soon made Sunderland's goal area panic.

Sunderland initially used an eight-man deep defensive group to block Arsenal's attack. After discovering the danger, they withdrew the wing midfielder who remained in the frontcourt, leaving only center forward Sessegnon as the counterattack point.

However, even with 9 players, they can only carry out destruction and blocking most of the time. It is difficult for them to steal the ball to their feet and launch an effective counterattack.

After just over 20 minutes, most of their players had a look of despair on their faces.

Playing football like this is obviously not the way they dreamed of playing football when they were children, and it cannot make them feel happy at all.

But as a mid-table team facing a league champion like Arsenal, if they want to fight for points, they must swallow their anger and wait for the possible 3-4 counterattack opportunities and 1-2 scoring opportunities.

"."

"This time it was Giroud who got the ball and passed it to Van Persie! Van Persie's low shot!! The ball went in!! The ball went in!

"In the 37th minute of the game, Arsenal took a one-to-zero lead!
"Sunderland's defensive focus was too much on the flanks. They released Van Persie and Giroud in the middle. The two of them were actually playing two against one against John O'Shea in the middle!

"A very sudden goal! All the efforts of Sunderland in the past few minutes in defense were in vain!

"This is also a goal that symbolizes the start of Arsenal's new Premier League season! I wonder if General Van will have a chance to compete with Maher for the Golden Boot!"

"."

On the field, Giroud, as the one who assisted the goal, couldn't help but run to the sidelines first, but he didn't forget the protagonist at the moment, and he kept looking back every three steps and waiting for Van Persie.

"Come on!"

Van Persie then followed, jumped on his back and pumped his fists above his broad shoulders.

"Oh no!" Maher followed up and with an explosive jump he landed on Van Persie, making Giroud overwhelmed and he slowly fell to his knees.

When the other Arsenal players came over, they started to form a human pyramid without saying a word. Seven or eight people celebrated happily in a circle with a diameter of less than four meters.

"Snapped!"

On the sidelines, Wenger happily high-fived Philip and waved his hand towards somewhere in the stands.

He brought his wife and daughter to watch the game today, hoping that they could also see the new prospects in his new stage of life.

On the other side, Sunderland players walked towards the center circle with their heads down, feeling helpless about the result, but also a sense of calmness that was not surprising.

"Beep!"

The game resumed and Sunderland players began to tentatively counterattack.

However, they remained cautious, only sending one or two more people each time than the last time, and would not push forward in large numbers.

Everyone knows that when small teams are beaten badly by big teams, it often starts with their eagerness to equalize the score. As a veteran of last season, Sunderland must avoid that situation.

However, when they launched a six-man attacking group in the 44th minute of the game, Arsenal quickly dealt them a heavy blow.

"Gervinho's defensive interception! Sebastian tried to stop him from counterattacking by pulling him, and then he passed the ball to Van Persie who was returning to receive it!
"Pass to Giroud! It's Mahre who gets the ball again! But this time Sunderland obviously doesn't have enough defenders in the backcourt!

"Mael, pass Craig! Then attack Cuellar. Oh, pull back and knock the ball with your heel! Another fancy move, the middle position is empty, do it yourself or pass it!
"Choose Giroud! No problem this time! Giroud scored Arsenal's first goal in the match, with the assist coming from Maher!"

"."

"Yeahhh!!"

On the field, in the heat of the moment, Giroud pointed at Mahel and sprinted towards the wing. He did not rush over to hug him, but first slid on his knees to leave a deeper impression on the Arsenal fans.

After he stood up, he came to Maher's side and said, "It's right next to me! I scored a goal in the first round. It looks like I can score 1 goals!"

“This goal is too small!”

Maher smiled and stretched out his hands to high-five him. Although he was looking forward to his first Premier League goal, he also understood that he had to take one step at a time and it was enough for him to know that he could go far.

"You scored 21 goals and assisted 12 times for Montpellier in Ligue last season, which is close to one goal per game."

He touched the back of Giroud's head and encouraged him: "If you come to Arsenal this season, you must fight for it too."

"This goal is a bit too big." Giroud shook his head in shame, but finally said with hope: "But with you and Van Persie by my side, I feel like I have a chance to achieve double 10."

"Come on!" The two hugged each other tightly and celebrated together for their first statistical contribution to the new Premier League season.

"Beep! Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game shortly afterwards, and the players from both sides returned to the player tunnel to rest.

As Wenger left the field, he smiled brightly and waved to his wife and daughter in the stands.

Leading 2-0, it can be said that the victory of this game is already relatively stable, and the first victory of the new season is just around the corner!
After winning this game, he will take his wife and daughter, who have always been silently accompanying him, out for a good meal, have a few drinks with them to celebrate, and pray with them, hoping that the team will keep winning.

In the stands, Wenger's wife Anne stood up to greet Wenger, while his daughter Leia clapped her hands foolishly.

"Mom." Leia suddenly raised her head after a while and asked in confusion: "Why hasn't Maher scored a goal yet? When I watched him on TV, didn't he always score a goal?"

"Haha." Annie couldn't help but look up and said, "Silly child, it's only 45 minutes. This time is too short. No one can guarantee that a goal will be scored in 45 minutes."

"Oh." Leia nodded confusedly, obviously still not understanding.

"You often play basketball with your mother. Let me give you an example."

Anne was a member of the French Olympic basketball team when she was young, so she loves this sport and often takes her daughter to watch basketball games. "This is equivalent to not only requiring him to score 30+ points per game, but also requiring him to score at least 9+ points per quarter."

Such conversations not only took place at the Emirates Stadium, but also took place in many places on major social media.

Especially in the comment sections of world-renowned broadcasting platforms such as Sky Sports, many new fans who heard the news were already a little anxious.

"Why haven't you scored yet?"

"What? Isn't it 2-0? Where was the lack of goal?"

"Mael, I've been watching for a long time, and there's only one assist. What's going on? Are you scoring no goals?"

"Goal shortage?! Hahaha, no, not scoring in the first half is also a goal shortage? If other forwards knew about this, they would beat themselves to death!"

"Haha, new fans, don't use professional terms randomly when you see them. There are standards for them."

"What standard?"

"For ordinary strikers, if they don't score in 10+ games, it's a goal drought. A top striker usually doesn't score in about 5 games, and for strikers at the level of Messi and Ronaldo, it's usually 1-2 games."

"These are relatively positive examples. There are many strikers who don't score a goal in a year."

"So by this standard, Maher's 'expected goals' surpasses Melo?"

"That's not the case yet. Sometimes when Messi and Ronaldo don't score in the first half, people will suspect they are in a scoring drought. But in fact, it's okay if they don't score in 1-2 games. It's only when they don't score in 3-4 games that people will criticize them."

"Haha. I don't care. Maher just hasn't scored a goal (grin)!"

Similar sarcastic comments appeared everywhere. For a time, the news of "Maher's goal drought" even made it into the top ten hot searches, causing quite a stir.

Many people in the industry were stunned when they saw it for the first time, and quickly swiped their phone screens to check the date. They thought the time was wrong and the Premier League had already started a long time ago.

This does reflect in a side way that the player’s expected goals are now very high, and many people are watching him move forward.

"Beep!"

After the second half of the game started at the Emirates Stadium, it was obvious that Sunderland was still in shock about the goal they lost at the end of the first half.

Even though they were behind in the score, they did not dare to press forward. In the first game of the new season, losing to a team like Arsenal was acceptable, but a tragedy was not acceptable.

Compared to playing passively and being scolded by fans, they are more afraid of being nailed to the pillar of shame forever.

"Bang bang bang!"

As a result, an extremely strange scene appeared on the court. Arsenal, who were leading, launched a high-pressure attack, while Sunderland, who were lagging behind, retreated in front of the penalty area to defend.

If you don't look at the score, you would think Sunderland stole one or two from Arsenal and was securing the victory, while Arsenal was based on equalizing the score.

"It's not easy to attack. If all Sunderland players come to block it, Arsenal will have no good way to deal with Mignolet except for crosses and long shots.

"Let's see if Maher's breakthrough can create some new opportunities. However, after running for most of the field, I don't think he has the mentality to try hard to score a goal. There is no need to try so hard against Sunderland.

"Mael cuts in! Great pace! No one can follow him! One shot!
"Wow! He still wants to score a goal! But he didn't control the arc of the ball well, so it went a little off."

"."

In the 67th minute of the game, Maher suddenly moved forward while being chased and blocked by two players, then stopped abruptly, turned around and ran back, returning to the midfield position to receive the ball.

After more than half a year of special care, he has long been accustomed to looking for opportunities to receive the ball in close pressure, and can adapt to the dense defense of weak teams to ensure that he has room to play.

"Snapped"

He stopped the ball sent by Cazorla at his feet and headed towards the dangerous area in the middle out of habit, constantly looking up and observing during the process.

At first he wanted to pass the ball, but as he slowly got into the shooting range, he began to feel an itchy sensation on the instep of his right foot.

Thinking of this, he no longer cared about his teammates who were asking for the ball in the middle. He had been focusing on teamwork for a long time. It was time to reward himself and enjoy the comfort brought by the violent heavy artillery!

No matter whether it goes in or not, let’s test Mignolet first, give it a try!
“Bang, bang!”

He kicked the ball forward to the right, took two steps to help it run, and then folded his right leg like a whip and whipped it out, hitting the middle and bottom part of the football.

At the moment of shooting, his body suddenly tilted to the right. This was a method he mastered after reaching level 5 of long-range shooting to concentrate the explosive power of his whole body to increase the power of his shot.

Some midfielders who lack strength often take long shots like this. Pirlo, for example, is a master in this regard.

The power of his shot is already the best in football. At this moment, with this skill, he can definitely give the football the maximum kinetic energy and maximum speed within its own mass! "Swish!" The heavy shell hit the upper left corner of the goal. As it got closer and closer, more and more Arsenal fans stood up with hope.

When it was only one meter away from the goal, Maher turned around and ran towards the corner flag area with great confidence, spreading his hands to celebrate in advance.

Finally here!
First goal of the new season!!

"Shh!"

"Aaaahhhhh!"

The subsequent sound of the ball hitting the net and the fans' crazy cheers of celebration were like two sound waves containing stimulants and high-temperature fuel, igniting the Emirates Stadium and Maher's passion.

"This ball goes in! The heavy artillery king Maher!! He brought his long-range shot to the new season of the Premier League!! This is an unstoppable world wave!!
“Before the game, I said that Mignolet was in very good form recently and was one of the strong competitors for Courtois, the Belgian goalkeeper, but he still couldn’t stop a long shot of this quality!
"1-1! Arsenal secured the victory! Maher also scored goal and assist! Scored a goal on this joyous day!!

"That's him. You can always see him scoring against the opponent and running to celebrate in every game and at every time!"

"."

On the sidelines, Maher ran with powerful steps, while making a classic football celebration gesture with his other hand.

This may look like a three in sign language, but in Italian culture, this gesture has a special meaning - "Look how great I am! What a standout!"

The former Italian striker Toni once performed this celebration, and today, Maher brought it to the English Premier League without any guilt as his own celebration.

Coming to the sidelines, he performed a second celebration with a gorgeous backflip, then waved his right hand elegantly into the sky, "Yeah!!"

Before scoring this goal, he saw Podolski, Walcott and others were warming up. It should be that Wenger wanted to replace him, Van Persie and others to let the rotation players experience the Premier League.

If this is the end of the game, then of course he will celebrate the good start of this season like a hat trick!

1 goal and 1 assist, this result is not amazing for him now, but it represents that he will seek steady progress and continue to move forward in the new season!

"Crack, click, click!"

Photographers on the sidelines pressed the shutter to take commemorative photos for Maher. Now, as long as he scores a goal, he will become the most conspicuous person on the court.

"Beep!"

Five minutes later, he was substituted along with Gervinho. Van Persie also left the field in the 5th minute of the game. Gilbert and several players made their Premier League debut.

"Bang!!"

Even though Walcott scored a wonderful side-hook goal after receiving a cross from Podolski in the 91st minute of the game, Maher's goal celebration photo still became the cover photo of the night.

"Premier League Round 1 Report! Arsenal beat Sunderland 1-1 at home!! Maher scored goal and assist and was named the best player after the game!" - Sky Sports Column

"Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-2! Won the Spanish Super Cup! Messi won the first championship of the new season!" - AS

"Manchester City beat Southampton 3-2 with difficulty! Tevez scored the winning goal!" - BBC Premier League column

After the first round of games, a piece of news in the transfer market instantly forced Arsenal fans to be "forced" into a new surprise before the joy and excitement of 39 rounds of unbeaten streak had passed.

This also caused Real Madrid to fall into new regrets before a wave of pain had passed.

"Breaking news!! £7750 million + 5% secondary transfer share! Bale officially landed at Arsenal! Report and official signing expected to be completed tomorrow!!" - The Times

"Bale brought a Polish female model to North London and checked into a hotel near the Emirates Stadium." - The Sun

"Arsenal ended the summer transfer window perfectly! Except for Oscar, they bought almost all their targets, which also confirms the team's appeal to top players and has returned to its peak!" - London Evening News

"This is Levy's failure in running Tottenham. Over the past many years, many people have been talking about the Glazer family and Kroenke.

"But did the Glazers sell players like this (I know Ferguson must have played a key role in this)? How did Kroenke invest this year, and what are you Levy doing?!" - Tottenham star Blanchflower

"Florentino is to blame this time, right? There are still 10 days left in the transfer market. He found out that he couldn't buy Mahre at all before he bought Bale. What was he doing earlier?" - Former Real Madrid star Guti
"Congratulations to Bale for choosing the right place! The combination of him, Maher and Van Persie will scare the entire Premier League!" - Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams
On all major platforms, news about this transfer instantly popped up like mushrooms after rain, occupying all the headlines.

Even if viewed with the naked eye, these are just a few lines of words and the comments of a few people.

But everyone understands what kind of sensation and repercussions this news will bring to world football in the coming days, and what kind of foreshadowing it will lay for football in the coming years.

On the night of August 8, in the chairman’s office at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training base.

In front of the brown wooden table, Florentino was sitting facing the window with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the silent city of Madrid with a gloomy expression.

"Mutch. Mutch!"

He put his hands in his pockets and kept puffing hard, as if only the sound of the burning cigarette and the smoke that was constantly inhaled and exhaled from his lungs could give him some comfort.

Soon, the ash fell on his chest, slid down his expensive suit and stained his clothes.

He only paid attention to whether it was burning, and then continued to inhale, as if nothing could draw his attention away, and as if he was deliberately punishing himself in this way.

"Wenger, Arsenal." He muttered to himself, and finally stopped his thoughts on one person, "Mael."

He regrets it very much, but what makes him most uncomfortable is a strong premonition that Arsenal may surpass Real Madrid in commercial value and influence in the next few years.

Can his leadership charisma combined with Ronaldo really surpass that of Wenger and Maher?

He was a little uncertain because he couldn't see where Maher's future would end.

The next day, in North London, as soon as the sun came out, a large number of Tottenham fans appeared on the streets.

"Daniel Levy! Get out of Tottenham, you greedy idiot!!"

They held plaques and banners, and some even painted their white cars with graffiti saying "Levi Get Out" and marched on the streets.

The fans were extremely emotional, and most of them were extremely dissatisfied with Levy.

Kyle Walker, Modric and Bale are the most talented players in their minds and Tottenham's hope to return to the championship zone.

The fans placed almost all their hopes on these three players, but look at now, in just one year, the three players were sold one after another, and two of them were even sold to Arsenal, their city rivals!
What the fans cannot accept is not the fact that the player has been sold, but that they have never seen Levy's determination to win the championship from beginning to end!
"Levi! Get out!"

"Levi! Get out!"

But the matter was done. No matter how loud they shouted or how angry they were, they could not stop the business car carrying Bale from arriving at the gate of the Colney training base shortly afterwards.

"Papa.!"

Just after noon, Bell, dressed in casual clothes, came down from the gate of the base with a smile. After high-fiving and hugging the few people who greeted him at the gate, he walked towards the administrative building surrounded by a crowd of people.

On the first floor of the administrative building, Maher, as the captain, was waiting for him with Van Persie and Koscielny who was still on crutches. After seeing him, the three of them walked forward together.

"It kept us waiting for a long time."

Maher held Bale's hand with one hand, put his other hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Welcome to Arsenal, you will definitely start a championship journey.

"My biggest hope is that you enjoy your time here and have a career with many great memories."

"Thanks."

Bell had clearly met Maher many times before and had even been to his home, but today he blushed and didn't even dare to look Maher in the eye, keeping his head shyly to the side.

This is normal. After all, a European champion is waiting for you, so it is a grand welcome. It is inevitable to feel a little uncomfortable facing such a scene, especially since your identity has changed before and after.

Then, after greeting Van Persie and others, he walked towards the media room, where he would complete the signing, and finally go to the medical examination room for a physical examination.

Maher and the others followed behind him, all of them knowing that the protagonists today were not the three of them, and they just had to show their sincerity on behalf of Arsenal.

More than half an hour later, as they watched Bell walk into the medical examination room, they turned back together and prepared to go home.

"Are you worried that he will steal your limelight?" Van Persie smiled funny and looked at Maher.

"No worries." Maher shook his head calmly, turned around and couldn't help but smile, "Compared to him, I'm more worried about whether I can receive my UEFA Best Award at the end of the month, next Wednesday."

"Tsk!" Van Persie shook his hands in disdain, knowing that Maher was making fun of him.

"Ha ha.!"

Koscielny then laughed out loud with Maher. As a defender, he had little hope of winning any honors and naturally would not be hurt by such remarks, so he could laugh at Van Persie to his heart's content.

In short, Bale joined Arsenal and joined the team's daily training.

No matter what kind of disturbance this caused in the outside world, in the impression of the three of them, it was a warm afternoon and Van Persie's deflated face.

On August 8, the last round of the month arrived, in which Arsenal faced Stoke City.

This is a team that just escaped the relegation zone at the end of last season and is slightly weaker than Sunderland.

However, Wenger was not careless and still sent out the entire main lineup, but gave Vermaelen a chance to try out the feeling of pairing with Thiago Silva.

The game starts at 7:30 in the evening, which is the most suitable time for a football game.

"Hahaha!"

After work, the home team fans rushed to the stadium with beer and popcorn. Even though they knew the home team had a high probability of losing, they still talked and laughed optimistically, feeling happy that they could watch a football game.

Most of the visiting team's expeditionary forces only need to take half a day off to watch the game easily.

"Beep!"

After the game started, the scene was not much different from the previous game, with Arsenal still controlling the ball and attacking, while Stoke City retreated deep to look for a counterattack.

It’s just that compared to Sunderland, which focuses more on overall movement and cooperative defense, Stoke City focuses more on confrontation and aggressiveness.

There are advantages and disadvantages to this.

It may have a certain deterrent effect in the short term, but over time, as the number of yellow cards on the defenders increases, their advantages will actually restrict their hands and feet.

"Bang!!"

In the 35th minute of the game, Maher broke out from the center of the penalty area, caught the cross from Van Persie who was wandering to the wing before Huth, and shot the ball into the far corner of the goal.

One to zero!

Second goal in the Premier League!
Just 9 minutes after this goal, Cazorla's corner kick allowed Giroud to score with a header, scoring another goal!
Two to zero!
With the continuous improvement of football skills and tactics, Stoke City and most Championship teams have gradually lost the title of Sky City.

People gradually discovered that teams that make better use of space and have stronger technical capabilities can always score headers even if they do not have the advantage of height!

In fact, it has always been like this. Football is a sport of space and time. Players with strong bodies and height, if they cannot understand the game well and have other advantages, will gradually fall behind in the development of football.

"Oh!"

In the 73rd minute of the second half, Cazorla's cross was cleared by Stoke City towards the corner of the penalty area.

Maher reacted quickly to control the landing point. He wanted to shoot but the angle was blocked, so he had to rush to the baseline.

"Oh!"

With many people guarding him, he suddenly swept the ball with his left foot before it went out of the baseline and cut it toward the small penalty area line.

Thiago Silva, who had come up to compete for the corner kick but had not yet returned, suddenly rushed out and headed the football with a diving leap. Halfway through the flight, he realized that he jumped a little too early, so he had to urgently change the place that touched the ball to his shoulder.

"Snapped!"

Fortunately, he was very close to the goal. After his shoulder knocked the ball out, goalkeeper Begovic had no time to react and could only watch the ball go into the net, "Swish!"

Three to zero!
"Papa.!"

Amid the cheers of the Arsenal expeditionary force, Maher applauded as he ran towards Thiago Silva. Two assists in two Premier League games gave him more hope of winning the assist king title.

This season, he must take back the trophy of "Little Passer"!
In the 82nd minute of the game, the scene that completely turned the tables on Tiangang occurred.

"Oh!"

Gervinho made a cross from the wing, but the ball was cleared by Huth at first, but he ended up getting it at the second spot.

After adjusting himself, he sent out the second cross, looking for a position further back.

Amidst the chaotic crowd in the penalty area, a figure wearing an Arsenal jersey rushed in from outside the penalty area. He came from behind and instantly jumped to a height that stood out from the crowd.

"Bang!!"

At the moment of completing the header, he was disturbed by a Stoke City player, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

"Swish!!" Fortunately, the football hit the net solidly, making a crisp sound.

Four to zero!
"Wowwow!"

"Ma-ehlMa-ehl!!"

On the small penalty area line, Maher fell to the ground and saw the ball go into the net. He quickly supported himself with his hands and bounced up, then rushed to the sideline on the Gervinho side.

After running two steps, he found that there was nothing wrong with his body, so he celebrated even more wildly, punching both sides of his body with his arms.

2 games, 3 goals, 2 assists!
Average of 2.5 goals per game!
He couldn't even imagine how terrifying his goal scoring efficiency would be when his other two skills reached level 2.

"Amazing Mahel!!"

Mahel was running when he heard a shout from the side. Before he could turn around, he felt a huge force coming at him, as if someone was knocked down by him.

When he came to his senses, he looked and saw Alexander Song, who had just come on the court, running over and congratulating him.

He laughed, pulled Alexander Song up, and waved to Gervinho and Van Persie at the far end to come over.

Let's just celebrate here.

The group quickly bent down beside the goal, shook their hands, and danced the lullaby dance with happy smiles.

"Click, click!" Another media reporter took this precious picture. Even if they separate in the future, even if the team is disbanded or the world ends, the beauty of this moment will last forever!
Just like in the previous round, Podolski, who came on as a substitute later, scored a world-class first goal, but still failed to win the favor of the media after the game.

"Arsenal beat Stoke City 40-9! The team led by Maher is unstoppable! The team has completed games unbeaten! Only games away from the Premier League record!" - French "L'Equipe" illustration

The image of the four people dancing the cradle dance together seemed vivid and swayed into the hearts of the fans.
