Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 156: Arsenal compete for the Premier League title? Maher's social media broke 1500 mill

Chapter 156: Arsenal compete for the Premier League title? Maher's social media broke 1500 million! Expensive frozen physiotherapy chamber
In a luxury mansion in Barcelona, Spain.

Watching the game on TV end, Fabregas sat on the sofa in a daze. He even failed to reach the rim of the cup when drinking coffee and spilled coffee all over his hands and the floor.

Several Barcelona players sat next to him, watching TV and lost in thought with mixed feelings.

Pique turned his head and glanced at him, and asked jokingly: "Your home team won, will you still feel happy?"

"No." Fabregas put the coffee on the table, lay down on the sofa and said: "My home team can only be Barcelona. Going to Arsenal is just for experience."

"Haha." A faint laugh was heard. A few people smiled slightly, then closed their mouths when they realized that no one else was laughing.

Pique's joke obviously didn't liven up the atmosphere, so he could only ask again: "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Fabregas shook his head, not wanting to voice out his worries and ominous premonitions.

"It's from the Aspen newspaper."

The team's forward Pedro came down the stairwell at this time, not noticing the depressing atmosphere on the second floor, and introduced: "The 18-year-old Premier League player topped the Premier League scorer list with 7 goals in 10 rounds. Not bad, another genius."

He had just been chatting with his brothers downstairs and didn't know that a game had just ended upstairs.

After clicking in to read the detailed report, he continued with a smile: "In the Arsenal-Tottenham derby, Maher scored twice and scored his 10th Premier League goal. Wait, Maher?"

Pedro glanced at Fabregas, then remembered something and asked with wide eyes: "Him? That one?"

The guy who had a conflict with Xiaofa and hit him a few times with a stick?

Pedro probably knew why no one was talking on the second floor. He put away his phone awkwardly and sat down on the sofa.

Fabregas looked at him and his cheeks puffed up, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Who scored 7 goals in 10 rounds?"

Another figure walked up the stairwell. His voice was very distinctive and his hair looked like it had just been cut.

It was Messi who came, with a warm smile and a hint of youthfulness on his face.

But no one dares to underestimate him. Winning two Golden Balls in a row and scoring more than 2 goals in a single season have made him the most valuable player in the world football today.

Many Barcelona players sat up straight. Even though Messi did not hold any position such as captain, his importance to the team and his say in the team exceeded anyone else.

"Mael." Fabregas turned his head and took the initiative to express his unhappiness. "He is only 18 years old this year. He is the one who had friction with me in the Arsenal youth training camp."

"Oh, it's him,"

Messi nodded, indicating that he knew this person. He came to the sofa and sat with everyone else. "It's not bad to have such data in the top league."

"Taller than you were back then."

Pique joked that he was one of the few players in the team who was not afraid of Messi, "Be careful, he will come for your Ballon d'Or soon."

"Haha." This time the laughter was obviously louder. Obviously everyone thought it was more like a joke. Even Messi smiled a little.

Fabregas also laughed twice, shook his head and said: "Even if he can surpass my achievements in Arsenal in the future, even if he can win the Golden Boy Award, he will never be able to challenge the Golden Ball Award.

"The Ballon d'Or doesn't just require goals and assists, it requires team honors.

"I have said countless times that he will have nothing at Arsenal."

He said a lot in a row, as if he had been holding a grudge for a long time, and there was a strong sense of jealousy in his tone.

Not far away, Pedro was secretly looking through the Premier League standings. Messi also came to his side and watched with him.

When seeing Arsenal's points, Pedro suddenly pressed the close button.

Messi raised his head, hesitated for a moment and said: "What if Arsenal has a chance to win the championship?"

"Impossible." Fabregas was very sure, pointing at the TV screen and said: "I have been following the Premier League, and this season's champion will definitely be Manchester United!
"If Arsenal can win the championship with their investment, then the other Premier League teams can really be disbanded."

He shouldn't have had so much resentment towards the team he had played for for eight years, but what happened before he left still bothered him.

If Arsenal can win the title, it wouldn't be a slap in the face, it would be a whipping of his corpse.

How will the world view him?

How much ridicule will he receive, and how many people who don't like him will get what they want?
That must not and will never happen. As a talented player, Fabregas believes in his own judgment and his own choice, which must be correct!

White Hart Lane, London, England.

"With 7 wins and 5 draws in 2 games, we have 17 points, the same as the two Manchester clubs. We are ranked second only because of a one-goal difference. Is Mr. Wenger satisfied with this result?"

At the post-match press conference, Wenger and Redknapp sat in a row and were interviewed by reporters.

The two people's completely different expressions well explained their state of mind at the moment. Even outsiders could easily tell who was the winner and who was the loser.

“It doesn’t get any better than this.”

Wenger smiled and answered honestly: "We have never had such a good start in recent seasons."

Redknapp looked embarrassed. He originally wanted to use the home court momentum to beat Arsenal in the derby, but he didn't expect to help them climb to second place in the standings.

The worst outcome is that we lost the game and helped our arch-rivals to advance to the next level.

"Does the team have any plans to win the championship this season? What does Maher's 7 goals in 10 rounds mean to you?" a reporter asked. They now only want to focus on Arsenal.

As for Tottenham Hotspur?

Let's talk about it later. Anyway, all these questions are definitely just making things difficult for Redknapp.

This is a common phenomenon in derby games. No one will pity the loser, and flowers and applause will only go to the winner.

“Honestly, every season.”

Wenger chuckled and scratched his head, frowning as he said, “But winning the league title is not easy. We haven’t had this feeling for a long, long time. Most of the time we can only strive for the Champions League qualification.

"If I find the team has this potential in the middle or late stages of the season, I will go all out.

"If necessary, we can give up other fronts. The team has waited too long for the league championship trophy."

This statement surprised the reporters at the scene. Coaches of top teams usually speak in a restrained manner because they are under a lot of attention and pressure. If they say something careless, they will be laughed at by the whole world.

Although Wenger did not say it explicitly, it clearly revealed his intention of "competing for the championship". He rarely expressed this before.

"What's the second question?" a reporter asked.

Wenger looked at the reporters and knew what they were thinking. "Mael's presence gave me the confidence to say the above words in front of the media.

"It was hard to imagine at the beginning of the season that he would have such an explosive performance as soon as he arrived. This changed the state of the team and also changed my goals and plans."

"You mean his arrival brings a brighter future to the team? Can it be understood this way?" a reporter asked with surprise. This answer was quite shocking.

Few coaches would praise their team's players like this, which is tantamount to putting the players in a very high position.

"Okay." Wenger nodded and smiled: "I don't think there is anything wrong with saying this, everything is obvious to everyone.

"We have the best young players in the world, the most amazing young talent. This is bound to change everything for us."

"The best?" A reporter looked at him and asked, "Are you sure it's the best?"

Wenger shrugged, not understanding why there was any doubt about this, and said: "The candidates for the Golden Boy Award will be announced at the end of this month and will be awarded next month. Then you will know whether he is the best."

Redknapp on the side couldn't get a word in and could only listen to Wenger and the media talking about the champion but not the golden boy, which made his face turn even darker.

After Tottenham Hotspur won the Coach of the Year award in the 09-10 season, he became a fan of the team and firmly defended everything about the club.

As we all know, the two things that Tottenham fans can't stand the most are Tottenham's relegation and Arsenal winning the championship.

On such a heavy day, hearing Wenger talking nonsense beside him, he naturally felt bad.

Reporters soon discovered this and pointed the finger at him, "Mr. Redknapp, what a regrettable defeat, what do you think?"

Redknapp calmed down and answered seriously: "It is indeed a pity that we had the opportunity to score points but we relaxed at the last moment.

"But the team did well in all aspects. The players played well and created many opportunities. We just lacked a little luck."

"Haha." Wenger said nothing, just laughed dryly twice, then waved to the media to indicate that he did not mean it, and signaled them to continue the interview.

Redknapp glared at Wenger, then turned back to the reporters. Someone quickly asked, "Mr. Wenger has shown his ambition to win the championship. Does Tottenham have any idea in this regard?"

He looked at the reporter who asked the question, frowned and said: "Many things cannot be achieved just by ambition. Arsenal has not won a championship for many years.

"I think domestic cup titles are still closer to Arsenal, and the league titles will no longer be relevant to them in recent years.

"As for us, I think we have to achieve our goals step by step. Now we should be pragmatic and continue to strive for a place in the Champions League."

"Haha." A dry laugh sounded again. Wenger coughed twice quickly and waved his hand again to signal that the interview should continue.

Redknapp gritted his teeth, he was almost unable to bear it anymore, this kind of silent sarcasm was really insulting.

"Before the game you said Kyle Walker could defend Maher, but we saw today that his matchup effect was not very good." A reporter asked a more difficult question.

"Uh" Redknapp's toes were already clenched under the table. He quickly discussed countermeasures to try to get around this question.

After thinking for a long time, he looked at the reporter and said, "The team's defensive support was average. I don't think Maher got any advantage against Walker. Walker, as a full-back, made offensive contributions, but Maher didn't defend."

"Hahaha" even louder laughter rang out, and Wenger grinned at the reporters from the media, not even trying to hide it this time.

Redknapp seemed to be very angry, but he didn't want to do anything too inappropriate. He stood up and snorted coldly and walked out of the interview room.

Wenger raised his eyebrows and bit his lip to hold back his laughter, indicating that he was innocent. He then walked out of the media room.

"7 goals in 10 rounds! Breaking the age record to top the scorer list! After winning the Championship top scorer title, is Maher going to directly jump to the Premier League top scorer title? A player version of the Kaiserslautern miracle?" - The Guardian, UK

"3-2! Arsenal won the derby! Maher scored twice and won the Premier League's best player for the second time in his career!" - BBC Premier League column

"He's going crazy! He scored two goals in the first game of the month and Maher is once again aiming for the monthly best player award!" - London Evening News

"Only 7 rounds have passed, and it's not even March yet. Everything has just begun. Don't worry, keep moving forward, and you will get what you want." - Aguero's latest post on social media
"Focus on the goal and aim for 13 titles!" - Rooney shares training photo

"Mael's Golden Boot odds have risen to fifth place! Only behind Van Persie, Rooney, Aguero and Dzeko! He has entered the top scorer team in 5 rounds!" - "Statistics Network"

"Mael 10 goals, Dzeko 9 goals, Rooney 8 goals, Van Persie 6 goals." - Premier League scorer ranking
The next day, news that Mahel had topped the Premier League scoring list swept across Europe, with the same level of attention as his hat-trick on his Premier League debut.

Even though the season has just begun, anyone could have topped the scorer list at this point, but there are so many hot elements about him that it is not difficult to understand why he has caused such a stir.

"Let me do the math for you. Dzeko scored four goals and one hat trick at the start of the season, but he should be weak afterwards. In the next three rounds, Mahre's only opponent is Rooney."

"So, it is very likely that he will stay at the top of the list for the whole month? Or even win the championship in the end?"

"Winning the Premier League Golden Boot at the age of 18 is a bit too magical, but it is possible to sit out for a month. The state is too hot."

"Dzeko bullied the weak? Maher didn't bully the weak? Why didn't he bully the weak and score four goals?"

"Is it not more important to score more goals against a strong team than against a weak team? No matter how much you think about defending your own players, you won't do that."

"The classic comparison - Ronaldo comparison method. Ronaldo joined the Dutch Eredivisie giants PSV at the age of 18, including friendly matches. He scored 64 goals in 68 games and had 13 assists. Which one is better?"

"What about a friendly match?"

"57 games, 54 goals, 7 assists."

"So, even after reaching the consensus that Maher at 17 is better than Ronaldo at 17, I still think Maher at 18 is better than Ronaldo at 18.

“And can the Eredivisie be compared with the Premier League?”

"That was in the 90s. The Eredivisie back then was probably more dominant than the Premier League is now, right?"

"That's about right. If you put it that way, it's really easy to compare these two. Well, I still think Maher is stronger. It depends on whether he can continue to be stable."

"But Ronaldo has too few championships. It's a bit of a misfortune. I hope Maher can win more championships."

The people on the internet who are discussing whether he is better than Ronaldo have resurfaced. This is always a hot topic and always attracts heated discussions among fans.

In fact, if we analyze the essence, they undoubtedly regarded Maher as a top-tier genius from the beginning.

Otherwise, the ones he is compared with are other retired players.

In short, it is good to have some popularity. Maher's influence is slowly permeating the entire world of football and flowing to every corner of the world.

When he truly becomes an international football superstar, he will also step out of the football circle and radiate into other industries, gradually becoming the top star in the world.

"what!"

In the villa's therapy room, Maher let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered, and he almost jumped up from the therapy bed.

"After three consecutive high-intensity matches, the consumption is very serious."

Harry's face was very solemn. He pinched Maher's sore spot and said, "The Premier League schedule is still too tight. If it continues like this, there will be problems in the second half."

Safina didn't say anything and continued massaging other parts of the body. She had been helping for several months.

"Is there any solution?"

Maher tensed and felt his leg muscles, and found that the fatigue was indeed severe.

His legs were almost always in pain. The last time he relaxed like a normal person was when he first crossed over. On weekdays, it was either a little painful or very painful.

"A liquid nitrogen freezing therapy chamber is a must."

Harry reduced the force of the massage and said as he continued, "I mentioned to you before that this is a high-tech product. The lowest temperature can reach minus 200 degrees Celsius. It is very effective in relieving fatigue."

“You can also equip an oxygen chamber. You have all the other things in this house.

"Don't think these are unimportant. The key is not to treat your vulnerable part symptomatically, but to prevent other parts. This is the key."

"How much?" Maher thought it made sense and asked about the price.

"If we choose the best one, it might cost over a million pounds." Harry hasn't learned about the market prices of these devices recently, so he could only make a rough estimate.

"A million pounds."

Maher was suddenly in trouble. His current savings should be more than 300 million pounds. This was basically all earned after he came to London. He had spent most of the money in a period of time before.

A simple calculation shows that the signing fee is 210 million pounds, the endorsement fee after tax and profit sharing is 43 pounds, plus the salary before the salary increase was almost 40 pounds, which is close to 300 million pounds.

After the pay increase, he received six weeks' salary, which was about 6 pounds after tax.

But the big part is the bonus. Although the generous championship bonus clause has not been triggered yet, the attendance and goals are considerable.

他每进1球2万镑收入，每助攻1球就是1.5万镑收入，出勤也有1万镑左右。

Including miscellaneous items, his current bonus totals around 55 pounds.

All in all, after deducting various expenses, he had about 350 million pounds in his hands.

"buy it."

Maher made a quick decision. He gritted his teeth and said, "Contact me the best one. I can accept it even if it's a little more expensive."

It's really hard to make money but easy to spend it. It's like this no matter how much money you have.

You have to aim for the championship, as winning it will guarantee you a minimum income of one million pounds, and some may even earn more.

"Okay." Harry nodded, "I'll go check it out first, and then you can contact Mr. Mendes to see if he can get a better price."

"Yes." Maher agreed and relaxed as he enjoyed the massage therapy.

He checked his social media app, looking at the increase in the number of followers, and found that it had started to surge again in the past two days.

Facebook and Twitter are heading towards 700 million, and Instagram is approaching 150 million under his care.

If we include his social media accounts in various countries, his fans across all platforms must be over 1500 million.

Although this is not as good as the number of fans of superstars who often exceed 100 million on a single platform, it is already very good for a rookie in football.

By the end of this season, the total number of viewers across all platforms should exceed 3000 million?
By then, the promotion fee for a single post should be more than 25, right?
Maher's mood became better. It felt good to see positive feedback from multiple lines at this moment.

Next, do a good job of physical therapy, intensify training to improve yourself, and strive for higher results on all fronts!
Time slowly moves towards mid-October. Due to the arrival of the national team match day, the club's various fronts usher in a two-week rest period.

This is good, as it gives Mahel some time to relieve his physical fatigue since he has not yet been called up by the French team.

Although coach Blanco would call him every week, most of the conversations were nonsense, such as "Keep training, keep up the good work" and "We are very optimistic about you" and so on.

The other party doesn't seem to be in a hurry?
Maher is not in a hurry, as it is still early for the European Cup and the games they play are all European qualifiers and friendly matches.

During this period of time, it is better to strengthen your own strength and strive to achieve better results in the second half of the league and the Champions League!

If he is not called up a few months before the European Cup, he should be really anxious.

For a player who wants to win a Grand Slam and the Golden Ball, continental competitions such as the European Cup and the World Cup are essential.

These competitions are held every four years. If you miss them, the cost of waiting another four years would be too high.

"Take a look at the proficiency of each skill."

Mahel put the matter aside for the time being and focused on his training.

It can be seen that the upgrades of situation judgment and ball control should be quick, but the others will probably take some time.

There is no need to rush in judging the situation, as this is something that is gradually improved with the gain of experience. Ball control is more controllable, and you can strengthen your training by adjusting the training time.

However, the skill of ball control must be coordinated with rhythm, and practicing it alone will not improve his game performance much.

It is better to advance steadily on multiple fronts. Sooner or later you will get promoted anyway.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

On the training ground, various sounds of touching the ball rang out again, and Maher began to practice some simple movements repeatedly, growing up in boredom and torture.

“Speed up! Speed up!!”

"That's right! That's right. Sooner or later you will be able to dribble the ball like Romario. I don't believe others can achieve that effect through training, but if it's you, I believe it!"

"."

"Hold on! Last set!"

"Reward yourself with another set! Come on! You can do it! You must push the limit like crazy, make the 'limit' yield to you unbearably, and then cross it!"

"."

"Hey, the physical therapy equipment will be here soon, and you should be feeling better by then."

"Next time I'm going to call Jose and Davis in for a massage too, just to see what kind of mess they throw at us every night."

"."

In this way, in addition to training with the club, Maher followed Jose in the morning, Davis in the afternoon, and Safina and Harry in the evening.

He has become accustomed to living and training with these people with very different personalities. His days are very fulfilling and he occasionally has some small joys.

On October 10, the cryotherapy chamber and oxygen chamber finally arrived. These two medium-sized chambers were not very impressive in appearance and they did not look like anything worth 13 million pounds at a 9% discount.

After the two special envoys’ patient explanation, the five people stood in front of the cabin eager to try it out, ready to send someone in to give it a try first.

Since Maher was the employer, it would definitely not be appropriate to send him in, and the remaining four people kept shirking their responsibilities.

"Go ahead Harry, this is a suggestion you made, you must be familiar with using it."

"No, no, no, Jose, you should go. You have been training for many years and your body is in better shape."

"If that's what you say, then I'd like to recommend Safina. She eats regularly and is in good health."

"Hey! Why not just call him David? He's not suitable anymore."

"Hey!" Davis saw that everyone disliked him for being old. Although he knew that this might be a provocation, he still took off his clothes and stood in front of the freezing therapy chamber, wanting to prove his skills.

After he stood inside, Harry turned on the machine outside and asked with a sly smile, "Do you want something stronger or more powerful?"

Davis wrapped his arms around himself, nervous and speechless: ".What's the difference?"

"The difference between 160 and 180." Harry turned the temperature to adjust the temperature while helping Davis make a choice, "30 seconds, minus 180 degrees, here it comes!"

In fact, it is impossible for humans to survive in conditions of minus 180 degrees Celsius, but the liquid nitrogen machine only simulates a low-temperature atmosphere. The 180 degrees here is different from the real 180 degrees.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!" The ice cabin was instantly filled with cold air and looked smoky.

Davis sat there stiffly, shaking just now but not now.

Maer and the others outside could not feel anything and could only wave to him and use gestures to ask about his situation.

Davis gave a thumbs-up in response, which made everyone feel a little relieved.

"It's not that great." Jose spoke without any pain in his waist while standing. He stretched his arms and was eager to try.

When Davis came out calmly, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Very cool." Davis gave a thumbs up and nodded, then walked to the side and stood there looking like nothing had happened.

Jose quickly got in and said to Harry, "180, 40 seconds, come on!"

"Oh!"

"Chucky!"

When the cabin door closed and the cold air gushed out, you could see through the mirror that the smile on Jose's face immediately disappeared.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!" Davis hugged his whole body and began to shiver. The shivering became more severe, and he felt better after sweating a little.

He came to the cabin door and gave Jose a malicious smile. It turned out that he had been pretending.

When Jose came out, he showed an ugly smile, squatted there for a long time before saying: "I saw my milk."

"Haha!" Thinking of Jose's appearance just now, everyone laughed together.

Afterwards, Harry and Safina went in to experience it, but their bodies were not as strong as the other three, so they only used a temperature of 150 degrees.

Even so, they didn't stop waving their hands when they came out and swearing that they would never go in again in their lives.

Maher was the last one to enter the cabin. He had made all the mental preparations, but the moment the air-conditioning came out, his brain went blank, as if all his energy was used to feel the coldness of his own flesh.

Countless cold air seemed to penetrate his skin, pierce his muscles, and enter his bone marrow and move back and forth, causing him to feel unbearable pain and itching.

He suddenly rolled his eyes upwards, trying to put himself into a brief unconsciousness mode and pass the time quickly.

However, when he finished the physical therapy and climbed over the cabin to the real world, he felt his body was more relaxed than ever before.

“I bought the right one.”

After recovering, he patted Harry's shoulder. He knew that his chances of getting injured were going to decrease again.

On October 10th, Maher finished his morning training and returned home to rest. The next round of games is coming soon, so he decided to use the afternoon to rest.
