Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 130: First goal at the Emirates Stadium! Victory over Udinese! Endorsement news!
After falling behind 0-1, Udinese played more actively. They had originally arranged in a 5-4-1 formation, but at this time they frequently changed to a 3-4-3 formation.

The two full-backs often come to the midfield to assist in the attack, and the wide midfielders often stand in the winger position.

Most Serie A teams are like this. They like a safe one-to-zero victory and will choose a conservative defensive counterattack tactic in the opening stage, and will only attack on all fronts when they fall behind in the score.

In the 30th minute of the game, Udinese coach replaced a midfielder and a full-back, officially adjusting the formation to a -- attack.

We don't seek to win away from home, we only seek to score away goals to ensure that the team has a greater chance of a comeback when they return home.

No one doesn't want to enter the Champions League, which means generous Champions League dividends and bonuses, as well as various types of influence enhancement!
"Bang bang bang!"

In the 37th minute of the game, Udinese launched a series of attacks.

They accumulated a large number of offensive forces in the frontcourt and pressed in front of Arsenal's penalty area.

First, Asamoah made a long-range shot, the ball was blocked by Koscielny and then fell to Pablo's feet, the latter passed it to the wing, and Badu then made a cross.

"Oh!"

In the middle, their main center forward Di Natale headed the ball, but Szczesny blocked it and the ball fell back in front of the small penalty area.

Vermaelen competed for the ball with another Udinese midfielder Pingqi, who reached the ball first and volleyed the ball from a very dangerous position.

"Swish!" The football whizzed over the crossbar and almost went into the goal.

Didn't make it!

What a waste of opportunity!

"." Udinese's expeditionary force had a look of disappointment on their faces, unable to even utter a word of regret. They had been suppressed by Arsenal and finally had a chance to attack continuously, but failed to score a goal.

"Ah Ping Qi!"

The English commentator in the live broadcast room also expressed deep regret for this, shaking his head and saying: "This is a defensive midfielder with average footwork, but this ball should have been scored.

"It may be difficult for Arsenal to give Udinese a similar chance. They were very aggressive today and kept suppressing Udinese, wanting to achieve the big win they had against Newcastle in the last round.

"Their desire for the Champions League is obvious, and it will just depend on whether Wenger's team can score again."

The commentator looked towards the Arsenal bench and saw that the young tiger Walcott had already stood up and warmed up, and was expected to appear in the second half.

This requires both wings to fly together!
In the following game time, Udinese became weak again, as if they were hit hard by missing a great opportunity and suffered heavy losses.

Arsenal began to speed up and seek pressure, pushing them back into the half and preventing them from launching another attack.

This kind of situation is very common on the field, just like two armies facing off, it requires a certain momentum.

Momentum will ebb and flow. When your opponents sense your weakness, they will gain confidence and pin you down and whip you madly.

“Bang, bang!”

Arsenal firmly controlled possession of the ball, shifting the ball left and right to tear apart Udinese's defense and look for opportunities.

During this process, Maher tried to cross the ball from various positions and also made two long shots, both of which were of good quality, but unfortunately he failed to break the goal again.

Serie A teams are good at air defense and long-range shot defense, which should be the norm in Serie A games. Their defenders and goalkeepers have some experience in this.

But he understood that as long as he tried frequently, with his level of ability, he would always be able to score the ball into the opponent's goal!
"Pa, pa, pa!" Arsenal fans often give him applause, and some people often stand up and make fists towards him to cheer him on.

They are also looking forward to Maher's goal and expecting Maher to make a stylish celebration at the Emirates Stadium!
The Champions League play-offs are very important matches, but they are not actually that attractive to fans.

The Emirates Stadium was full today, and it must be partly due to Maher. Just like the banner held by a famous fan in the West Stand - Our hearts beat for you! We are ready to cheer for you!

"Beep--!"

After the half-time whistle sounded, Maher stretched his leg muscles and walked quickly into the locker room.

Have a good rest, and in the second half, try to satisfy the fans at the Emirates Stadium!
"how do you feel?"

Alexander Song followed him into the tunnel. He was a talkative man and asked curiously, "This is your first time playing against a foreign team in a regular season."

"Very novel." Maher nodded and replied, expressing his true feelings: "Actually, when playing against Bayern, I didn't feel much. The level of the giant teams is top-notch, and there is not much difference in style between the top teams.

“The tempo of the Bundesliga itself is very fast and very close to that of the Premier League.

"But Serie A teams are different. They have their own set of football concepts and give people a completely different feeling. I am indeed a little uncomfortable with it."

"Wait for my pass." Alexander Song pursed his lips and patted his chest. His thoughts were extremely jumping. He had already imagined himself giving a wonderful assist to Mahel and helping the young player adapt to the Serie A style team.

He felt that he should be considered a good person and a kind-hearted person.

"Okay." Maher laughed twice. Song was still very cute and could make people laugh out of nowhere.

Thinking of his hundreds of vampire relatives in Africa, he hesitated for a moment, but still followed the topic and hinted: "But Song, sometimes you should think more about yourself."

Alexander Song understood what Mael meant and his eyelids drooped. This matter was indeed no secret in the team.

Maher patted him on the shoulder and said nothing more. He knew it was impossible to change the other person with just a few words.

It also depends on the subtle influence in daily life. I hope that in this life, he can see a lively and cheerful Song.

"Arsenal! Arsenal!!"

Fifteen minutes later, in the heated atmosphere of the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal players rushed out of the bench and prepared for the second half.

Maher felt the vibration of the Emirates Stadium and suddenly had the urge to do something.

He thought of Bellingham, rushed a few steps, suddenly jumped up from the sideline, stretched his neck and jumped vertically.

"Oh!"

After landing, he felt refreshed. The eyes of all the fans seemed to be focused on him, and a faint cheer was heard.

The team's first assistant coach Philip just walked out of the passage and made eye contact with him. Thinking that he was adjusting his state, he waved and shouted: "Vamos!!"

"Haha." Maher smiled and shook his fist with him, feeling a little embarrassed.

It’s still better now. With the development of streaming media, any action of the players can be easily magnified and made into a meme.

"Beep!"

The referee then blew the whistle to start the game and the second half officially began.

In the 53rd minute of the game, the little tiger Walcott appeared at the sidelines, ready to make his debut.

Gervinho looked towards the sidelines, thinking he was going to be substituted, but unexpectedly the fourth official raised Van Persie's number 10.

General Van was rested and Walcott came on, playing at the center position.

"Oh!"

One minute later, Rosicky hit a lob from the middle and went straight behind the opponent's defense line.

Walcott followed up at high speed, kicked the ball into the goal before the Udinese goalkeeper could make a move!
Two to zero!
Arsenal expands their lead!
"Oh!" The Emirates Stadium became boiling with excitement. Fans saw their favorite player Walcott score a goal as soon as he came on the field, and they began to have some expectations for his performance this season.

"nice shot!"

Maher exclaimed in praise, and the pressure on his body was relieved. Winning the game should be no problem.

Next, we have to focus on scoring goals at home!
He ran towards Walcott to celebrate, and after high-fiving him, he heard him laugh and say, "We have rarely spoken to each other. I thought our relationship was cold, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to celebrate."

“How could that be?” Maher shook his head, hugged him and said happily: “We have the same goal, we will definitely not be indifferent.

"And listen to the cheers at the Emirates Stadium, look at the atmosphere here, no one can be indifferent at this time."

"You also have to work harder to score goals." Walcott encouraged, sincerely hoping that Maher could also score a goal in this game.

The two have established a good relationship foundation on the court, and they will have a long time to cooperate in the future.

As the game time passed, Arsenal completely controlled the game and Udinese could only fall into positional defense.

Their formation change was invalid. At the most exaggerated point, even the two midfielders returned to the penalty area and played with six defenders.

The main thing is that losing 2 goals away from home will not wipe out their hopes of promotion. After realizing Arsenal's strength at the Emirates Stadium, they set their sights on the second round.

Try to lose as few goals as possible and then look for a comeback after returning to your home court.

"Do you want to increase your attack power further?"

In the Arsenal coaching booth, Philip, sitting next to Wenger, asked: "I think we can continue to chase and try to end the game with more than 3 goals in the first leg.

"The second leg of the play-offs is between Liverpool and Manchester United in the Premier League. We can rotate well in that round of games."

"No changes yet." Wenger looked at the team's attack with a sharp gaze and replied: "The attacking line has a strong impact, but Udinese's bus is well positioned.

"Look forward to the performance of the offensive players, they will always seize the opportunity."

At this moment, he saw Mahel suddenly cut inside, entered the middle and made a chic shot in the position he was most familiar with.

Wenger, Philip and others quickly stood up from the coaching seats, following the flight path of the football with their eyes, and had the urge to raise their hands to celebrate.

"Snap!" The football touched the outside of the post and bounced to the bottom line.

Almost!
"Oh!!" There was a cry of surprise from the scene. Many Arsenal fans just stood up, and then they clapped their hands in encouragement with a little regret.

Wenger, Philip and others sat back in the coaching booth and clapped their hands in frustration. They almost led by 3-0.

Philip looked at Wenger with a smile and asked, "Do you think he will score a goal today?"

"do not know."

Wenger shook his head and didn't dare to say too much. "There should be a lot of hope. Udinese deployed the bus and the formation was very tight. He has a lot of room to play for long shots and cuts inside." "Come on." Philip turned his head and cast his gaze towards the court, clenching his hands in anticipation.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Wenger replaced Ramsey with Wilshere, making his second substitution.

Mael and the little prince looked up and raised their eyebrows, and when they saw that the other party couldn't help laughing, they also laughed. This was the first time they fought side by side.

Focusing his attention back on the court, he began to move towards the center, looking for an opportunity to shoot from long range.

Cutting inside and running down the rim took too much of a toll on the body. After running for a few more minutes, he wasn't sure if he had the strength to continue sprinting.

"Oh!"

Arsenal sent a free kick from the backcourt, and the ball was headed by the Udinese defender and landed at Wilshere's feet.

Unexpectedly, he had a strong desire to score a goal and he shot the ball towards the goal. The football flew towards the goal quickly, but it got higher and higher and finally flew into the stands.

"Can not be done."

Wilshere smiled and shook his head, waved apologetically to his teammates who were waiting for the pass, and said to Maher: "You have to come, the chances of scoring a goal are higher."

"It will come."

Maher smiled and waved at him, signaling him to be patient. "Get ready to see the long-range shooting show."

"Haha." Wilshere laughed a few times, and the two of them ran together, waiting for opportunities at the front of the penalty area.

Time continued to pass by minute by minute, gradually passing 80 minutes and 85 minutes.

"persist in!"

The Udinese coach kept looking at his watch, reminding the players of the time, hoping that they could hold on to the goal in the final moments.

The players did seem to be getting better at defending, and after adapting to Arsenal's rhythm, they were able to carry out intensive defense with ease and blocked all the open positions.

"Boom."

In the 88th minute of the game, Alexander Song passed the ball to Maher who was between the opponent's defense line and midfield line. It was a seemingly ordinary pass, even careless.

Maher stood there, looked around, and raised his right foot as if to kick the ball back.

"Snap." He suddenly turned around, facing the opponent's goal, and rushed towards the goal with the ball.

"near!"

"Take it!"

Udinese's defense began to take him seriously. People rushed towards him from all directions, and most of the defensive players had nervousness on their faces.

"Bang." Maher took two steps to the right with the ball, glanced at the goalkeeper's position, took a deep breath and followed.

It's risky to continue, so why not just give it a try here!
"He's coming!"

At the edge of the field, Wenger and Philip stood up from the coaching bench again and looked towards Maher.

"Come on!" Wilshere stood beside Maher, looking at the ball under his feet with anticipation, and then looking at the goal.

"Threatening pass +1." Alexander Song muttered to himself and calculated his own data. His thinking process was different from others.

"OhAaahh" At the Emirates Stadium, the fans behind the goal stood up with fanaticism in their eyes, they hoped very much that the ball could go in.

As everyone expected, Maher focused his eyes on the football under his feet. He swung his left arm while running, tensed the instep of his right foot, and shot the ball with all his strength.

"Bang!!"

As grass and dirt scattered everywhere, the football hit Udinese's goal with unstoppable momentum like a cannonball.

The goalkeeper dived sideways, his body stretched beautifully, but his face was filled with astonishment and panic.

"Swish!" The sound of the ball hitting the net was heard quickly. Maher stood at the shooting location and saw the football hit the net. He also saw the fans behind the net immediately raising their arms excitedly.

Three to zero!
The first goal at the Emirates Stadium arrives!

"Yeahhh!!!" A thunderous explosion sounded, and more than 50,000 Arsenal fans finally waited for the scene they had been looking forward to for a long time, and a loud shout broke out.

“Sunday! Real sunrise!”

Wenger and Philip on the sidelines jumped up with their hands raised high in sync, then turned their heads in sync, dancing and hugging each other excitedly.

It’s safe to enter the Champions League!
Basically killed the game!

"Oh!" Maher roared all the way to the fan area on the sidelines. The joy of scoring a goal and the atmosphere in the stadium at the moment instantly made his blood boil.

Goal 4!
Even though it was not a goal in the Champions League and will not be counted as a goal in the Champions League, it was his first time to score a goal at the Emirates Stadium and hear the fans cheering!

"pretty!!"

“A wonderful goal!”

"Ah Mahel!"

“Amazing!!”

Looking at the lively faces in the stadium showing excitement for him and countless arms waving for him, he couldn't help but support himself on the ground and turn sideways again, followed by a graceful somersault.

This time, he did not raise his arms and cheer. Instead, he spread out his hands, closed his eyes and raised his head facing the fans in the fan zone.

He enjoyed the cheers from the stadium and the hot air at this moment!
"The king rules the world!"

The commentator's voice trembled as he excitedly delivered the commentary: "Maher reviewed his followers like a monarch. At this moment, he was indeed the king and hero of the Emirates Stadium!
"What a great performance, after scoring a hat trick in the last round, he announced his arrival at the Emirates Stadium with a world wave!
"Udinese players squatted on the ground and hugged their heads, and their coach pounded the awning. They may have realized that even if they return to their home court for the second leg, they may not be able to turn the tables!
"Arsenal will advance to this year's UEFA Champions League. That will be a new stage for Mahre!"

In the corner flag area, photographers were frantically capturing close-up and full-body shots of Maher. Some people even ran over, trying to take pictures of the fans facing Maher from the side.

Arsenal players arrived shortly afterwards, and they were naturally happy to see Maher score a goal at the Emirates Stadium in the final moments!

"It still has to be you!" Wilshere patted Maher on the shoulder. Looking at the excited fans on the sidelines, he couldn't help but raise his arms and shout, celebrating with them.

"you did it!"

Walcott came over with a smile and hugged Maher tightly, "I knew you could do it. This will be a successful day. The fans at the Emirates Stadium will accompany you for a long time!"

“I know.” Maher looked back at the fans and threw a few more punches at them, relishing the feeling.

"Haha!" Alexander Song came third. This time he didn't recite silently: "Assist +1! The easiest assist!"

Maher hugged them one by one, and when the celebration was over, he faced the fan section again, took a deep breath, raised his head, closed his eyes and spread out his hands.

I have to say this celebration is pretty good. When you close your eyes, even the air you breathe becomes sweeter, making you intoxicated and reluctant to leave.

Keep chasing the goals!
He will celebrate 10 times, 100 times at the Emirates Stadium until he has completed all the celebration moves!
The game ended with a score of 3-0, Arsenal won a big victory at home, and the fans at the Emirates Stadium clapped wildly, very satisfied with the team's appearance in the new season.

They are very much looking forward to the team ending this season with honor and glory in May next year!
At nine o'clock in the evening, Maher was at home, placing a new best trophy on the honor stand, which was the trophy of the first Champions League.

Davis has already ordered a new honor display case for him, which should be delivered next month.

By then, everything will seem more formal and grand.

"Ding Dong!" The doorbell rang. It must be Mr. Mendes. He just called to say that he had arrived in London.

Maher opened the door and saw Mendes, who looked very proud, opening his arms towards him. "Four goals in two games, you are simply amazing."

"How come it came so quickly?" Maher exclaimed, then hugged him with a smile.

"Aren't you looking forward to meeting our Premier League stars as soon as possible?"

Mendes walked into Maher's villa jokingly, sat down on the sofa and said, "This house is really nice. Your performance also proves that you have the confidence and ability to get this house."

"More than 10 million on the list."

Maher thought of the price and shook his head, "It will take a long time to save up. There's no rush."

“What if there is an endorsement?”

Mendes picked up the dried fruit on the table and started eating it. While chewing, he said, "Recently, there have been many merchants asking you to endorse them. I've been helping you choose."

"What's the price?" Maher's eyes moved and he sat next to him.

He still remembers the last time he easily earned hundreds of thousands of likes in a single day as an endorsement. In his mind, endorsement is the easiest and fastest way to make money, except for waiting for Instagram to be acquired.

"I'll set it at £80 a year."

Mendes named a price and explained, “This is in line with your current worth and various values. If it’s too high, it will scare away all merchants.

"Of course, this is our lowest offer. Depending on the other party's brand and endorsement requirements, the price may increase at any time."

Maher didn't think it was too little. He nodded with satisfaction: "80 pounds is pretty good."

The two chatted for a while and then turned the topic to the upcoming contract negotiations, confirming their opinions.

"This time, Arsenal may increase your salary by a certain amount and offer you a signing fee that is hard to refuse, adding another 1-2 years to your contract. What do you think?"

Mendes is very experienced. After explaining to Maher, he also expressed his own thoughts, "I think it can be considered. Arsenal is a very influential club and the development prospects here are good."

Maher stood up and walked to the French window, looking at the scenery of London outside the window. After thinking for a while, he said, "This place is really good. If Arsenal mentions it, then we will sign it."

He fell in love with the city and liked the feeling of playing at the Emirates Stadium, so there was no hesitation.
