Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 201: Fortune turns! Big changes! Arsenal leads by a large margin! March ends successfully! Skill upgrade!
"Beep! Beep! Beep--!"

When the final whistle sounded, the score of the game was finally fixed at 3-1. Arsenal defeated Liverpool decisively at home and regained the winning momentum.

"Clap, clap, clap!" After the game, the applause in the stadium lasted for a long time, and Arsenal fans regained their confidence in winning the championship.

81 points!
This is the highest season score in the past seven seasons, and the team only played 7 games!
"Arsenal! Arsenal!"

Maher then followed his teammates to the diehard fan area, where they stood shoulder to shoulder, jumping and shouting the team name.

His face was filled with a happy smile. He won the game easily, even to the point of being a little surprising.

Soon after, Wenger and a group of coaching staff members joined the celebration, jumping up and down with the players, raising their hands and jumping up and down alternately.

"Mael!"

Wenger tilted his head and asked with a smile: "You're about to score your 35th goal. How are you going to celebrate?"

Many players also looked at Maher. It was a great moment and they really had to think about the celebration in advance.

"Sliding knees?"

"Or somersault?"

"No, no, no, I think the clown dance is more appropriate. It has a sense of irony."

"Don't be sarcastic about everything, it's meaningless, I think you should just embrace yourself."

"Point your hands to the sky!"

Everyone gave Maher advice, and they enjoyed it, as if they were the ones who were about to break the record.

A championship team actually does not include you and me. When a team is about to win the championship or wins the championship, the team cohesion will reach its peak and they will be unprecedentedly united.

If they couldn't achieve this, they wouldn't be in this position now.

"Let me think about it." Maher pondered for a while, and soon came up with an idea. He came to the front of everyone and said, "Why don't we all do it together? I will imitate a cowboy and pretend to be holding a revolver."

He pretended to take out two guns from his waist and pointed them at everyone, "If I move my hands, you will fall. How about that?"

"Ha ha.!"

"Ah, I see!"

The Arsenal players laughed. This kind of celebration is not uncommon in football and is indeed very handsome and impressive.

"Okay!"

"If it was anyone else I would have said no, but why would someone who is about to break the Premier League goalscoring record ask us this?"

"Haha, I can do that too!"

"Let's talk about it then. Don't let anyone forget, or it will be embarrassing."

Everyone was talking at once, and Sagna turned his gaze to Van Persie, "You must be the last one to fall, and you must struggle a few times to add some drama to yourself."

"Why?" Van Persie was confused and didn't understand why he was treated specially.

"Because you are one of the most famous strikers in the Premier League." Sagna explained with a smile, "Isn't it easy to understand? He killed you in the end, just like he killed all the Premier League strikers.

"Not just the active ones, but also the retired ones. Don't you think that's very creative?"

"Hit!" Many people felt the meaning and gave Sania a thumbs up, "This is good, this is good! That's it!"

"Haha." Van Persie laughed helplessly. Deep down, he didn't want to be this 'typical' example.

But after seeing Maher's gaze and thinking of the other party's contribution this season, he still raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Okay then, remember to hit me last when the time comes."

"Yeah!" Arsenal players shouted together, as if they had accomplished something important.

Maher jumped even more happily, and he was very happy that everyone could cooperate with him.

Now, he just has to wait for the final 35th goal. In the next game, he will have the chance to achieve this achievement!

After celebrating with the fans, everyone did not rush back to the locker room, but waited for the results of the other two games in the stadium with their mobile phones.

Some Arsenal fans did not leave either. Everyone waited tacitly, looking forward to a better end to March.

"What's the score?" Maher took out his phone and started searching. Seeing Arteta beside him already opened it and was checking it, he couldn't help but ask.

"Manchester United 1-0 Fulham."

Arteta replied, swiped his finger a few times and said: "Manchester City and Swansea were tied, neither scored a goal."

"There's suspense." Maher's expression brightened. He quickly turned on the live broadcast and watched it carefully while sitting on the bench.

"Oh"

After watching for a while, he heard faint cheers. He turned around and saw some fans holding up their phones to celebrate.

Who scored the goal?

Something's going on between the two teams?!

A strong sense of anticipation flashed in his eyes. The delay in watching the live broadcast on a mobile phone was different, and he hadn't refreshed it yet anyway.

"Ah!" A shout sounded from the side, and he saw Arteta stand up from his seat, holding up his mobile phone and jumping off the ground with his feet.

The other party quickly turned his gaze to him, pulled his arm and said: "Fulham scored a goal, Manchester United is going to draw!"

Maher looked down and saw Fulham's striker diving to score a goal, and also saw Ferguson grabbing the fourth official on the sidelines and arguing with him.

Look at the time again, it’s already the 81st minute!
It really needs to be level!

"Aaahhhh!" A huge wave of cheers swept across the entire Emirates Stadium, and everyone saw the goal.

Maher did not celebrate too wildly, he knew the game was not over yet and everything was uncertain. However, he couldn't help but smile.

If Manchester United loses 2 points, it can basically be said that they have bid farewell to the championship zone early, and only a theoretical possibility remains.

"Yeahhhh!!" Then he heard an even louder cheer, and many people even threw their hats and scarves off the court.

"What's going on?!" He quickly looked at Arteta with anticipation.

Now both games are not over yet, either Manchester United will be defeated or Manchester City will be defeated!
"Hahahahaha!" Arteta held his phone in his hands, leaned back and laughed wildly. He came to Maher and said, "Manchester City! Mancini's team was defeated!
"Swansea! Graham!
"Magic lamp!"

Hearing the name of an old acquaintance, Maher quickly looked at the screen and just saw Graham score a goal with his signature long-range shot.

This time, he saw Mancini who was furious, jumping around wildly, gesticulating and cursing at the field!

Lore!

"Ahhhaaa!"

Maher couldn't help it anymore. He clenched his right fist and punched forward angrily, roaring with the fans. His joy was no less than that of having just won an important victory.

Lucky Wheel!

Now, they are the happy team. No one could have imagined that after Manchester City reversed Sunderland 4-3, they were defeated by Swansea in the away game!
It was also unexpected that Fulham could actually pull one goal back and tie with Manchester United.

"Huh." He took a breath to relieve the heat and turned his attention back to his mobile phone.

If the game ends with these two scores, the two Manchester giants will be 5 points and 6 points behind them respectively. Even if they draw two more games, they will still hold the initiative in the championship race.

Maher clenched his fists nervously, waiting for the final result.

After watching for a while, he suddenly felt the urge to pee, so he put his phone in his pocket and walked towards the toilet in the corridor.

"Wow!!" As soon as he entered the bathroom, a warm voice rang out from the field. He knew that one of the games ended with the original score.

We are going to take the lead even more significantly!

Maher quickened his pace to go to the bathroom, and after finishing his work in a hurry, he ran towards the inside of the stadium, ready to celebrate with everyone.

"Wow!!" Before he entered the venue, he heard a thunderous shout resounding throughout the venue and reaching the sky.

Both games are finished!

High probability of year-on-year distribution!

Maher rushed out of the player tunnel excitedly and saw that the scene was already full of joy.

Arsenal players ran around, waving their arms, cheering, gesturing to the fans, or looking up and laughing.

Soon, he met Arteta's eyes, and the joy in the other's eyes made him more certain of his guess.

Manchester United 1-1!

Manchester City 0-1!

Arsenal won on this day!
"Vamos!" In tacit understanding, the two people who liked to celebrate in Spanish clenched their fists and shouted this refreshing phrase.

Maher then looked at Wenger and saw that although the latter tried to appear calm as much as possible, joy was still evident in every part of his body. He couldn't help but giggle or shake his legs.

From this perspective, today's victory is particularly important, as it helps Arsenal widen the points gap!
"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

The players hugged each other and came to the fan area, jumping and celebrating with the 10,000 or 20,000 fans who stayed.

They shouted a simple melody for a while and then prepared to sing a different song.

At this time, Saniya became a music conductor. He waved his hands and started from zero frame: "Ding ding ding ding! I have a friend! Come on!"

The Arsenal players all leaned back and laughed, but did not refuse, "Ding ding ding ding."

A familiar melody first sounded from them, and then spread throughout the Emirates Stadium. Everyone joined in and sang the song over and over again.

Maher, who was selected as the best player of the game, deserved such treatment as he helped the team win a crucial victory.

Maher laughed and clapped his hands, then joined in the singing, celebrating happily with everyone for a long, long time.

Many times, he often felt that he did not have a strong feeling for the happiness of the moment, but at this moment, he felt that he did.

He is really happy.

"A big change! Swansea beat Manchester City! Fulham drew with Manchester United! Arsenal is leading the standings by a large margin!" - "Football Record"

"Even if you were given a chance, you couldn't make use of it. After Arsenal drew in the 30th round of the league, Manchester City and Manchester United both gave big gifts. They lost and drew in the 30th round of the Premier League respectively!" - "Live Bar"

"Maher scored 34 goals, tying the record held by Alan Shearer and Andy Cole! Unprecedented!" - British "Guardian"

"Just one goal away from breaking the record, vote to guess Maher's celebration action!" - Sky Sports, UK

“积分榜一：阿森纳31轮25胜6平，积分81。积分榜二：曼城30轮23胜4平3败，积分73。积分榜三：曼联30轮22胜6平2败积分72。”——英超积分榜
After the game, everyone's expectations for the Premier League championship had reached a peak, and the fact that both Manchester City giants gave gifts at the same time was too abstract.

The news that Maher tied the record failed to become the hottest news at this stage.

In other words, from the moment he scored 30 goals, people had already confirmed that this day would always come!

They should wait for the day when the players officially break the record before giving them their most sincere blessings!

Liberty Stadium, Wales.

At the press conference after the match between Manchester City and Swansea, Mancini appeared in a warm-up state, revealing a rare scene.

"We were targeted too much. There were at least three fouls that were not called in the first half!"

He knocked on the table, saying, "If the opponent's defender gets a yellow card, the situation of the game may change!

"You may think I'm making excuses, but this is football. Some small factors may affect the game. We were fully prepared to win!"

"Dong Dong!" He knocked on the table twice again, expressing his dissatisfaction with the referee, "Everyone knows what kind of comeback we played in the previous game and what kind of spirit we have!
"If it weren't for some off-field factors, we would never have gotten this result!"

After he finished speaking, the scene fell into a long silence.

It was not until more than ten seconds had passed that a reporter stood up and said, "Excuse me, I want to ask, has Manchester City basically withdrawn from the championship race?

"The team now has no room for error. As long as Arsenal loses one more point in the game, they may win the championship in April."

Mancini stared at the reporter and gritted his teeth and said: "One game less and only 1 points behind, who taught you math? Why did we withdraw from the championship?!
"We have no tolerance for mistakes, but does Arsenal have tolerance for mistakes? If they lose points, won't we come back?

"Are all of you media from Arsenal? Or are you here to deliberately make me unhappy?"

The reporter glanced at Mancini and did not answer the question, but continued: "Manchester City legend Peter Reid just said that any game during the championship period may affect the final result.

"Fans can understand this. The nerves of the players on every championship team are highly tense. If they relax a little, it may trigger a chain reaction or even a complete collapse.

"After this game, will Mr. Mancini worry that the players on the team will not be able to withstand the pressure and thus fail to win or lose consecutive games?"

Mancini packed up his things and stood up. He walked out the door while waving his hands to the reporters, "I don't deserve this kind of treatment. I have three league titles, just like Wenger!
"Please be respectful! Don't tell me how to coach a team, don't worry about it for me!

“Respect!!”

He threw his suit on, put it on, and walked away. On the other side, Ferguson refused to attend the press conference, and an assistant coach took Giggs to the press conference. The whole process was a bit boring.

"Bang bang.!"

In the evening, in Jones Bar next to the Emirates Stadium, countless people were toasting each other at a round table that seemed somewhat legendary.

At the center of the round table, Jones' face was already red from drinking, but he couldn't help but raise his glass again and again, "Come on, come on! Finish this one, there's still one more!"

"Haha." Others laughed when they saw his expression. They could understand Jones's mood at the moment.

A person who had accomplished nothing and didn't even have much savings suddenly became a small millionaire because of a player on a team.

Even if this can't make him rich and powerful for the rest of his life, it should be enough to live a carefree life for a few years.

"Jones, you said you would treat us to a drink at some point, is that this time?" someone asked.

"of course not."

Jones waved his hand generously, "When the time comes, I will treat everyone who comes into the store to a drink, but I will decide on the drinks!"

"Good!" A burst of cheers rang out, and many people applauded for Jones.

"How much has Jones invested in total and how much return can he get?" a new young man asked the person next to him.

The man chuckled and asked him to explain, "It's more than 1 pounds in total. After the last investment, I heard that his return has reached 25 pounds."

"Really?!" The young man's pupils shrank and he took a breath of cold air, "Do I still have a chance if I apply now?"

"That's it." The man shrugged. "Maher has tied the scoring record with 34 goals. Even if he is injured now and no longer plays, other forwards can't compete with him.

"What's more, the players are in very good health and the chances of getting injured are very low."

"Under these circumstances, do bookmakers still dare to give him odds for the Golden Boot? Even if it's 1 to 1.1, there will definitely be people who bet heavily on it. It's no different from taking money for nothing."

As if that was not very rigorous, the man added, “Ah, if he gets injured, Van Persie, who is almost scoring 30 goals, might have a chance.

"But it's clear that's not going to happen."

The young man nodded regretfully, nodded a few times and shook his head again, saying, “It’s hard to imagine, from the odds of 1+ to 50 when I first came here to the current no-opening, how the players have performed beyond expectations this season.

"I can't imagine why Jones had that courage at the time."

The man sat next to him and started chatting with him, "The player's top league debut is the best in history. No one's debut is more amazing than his, whether it is the Championship or the Premier League.

"In this respect, he is the goat! He must be!

"As for Jones."

He glanced at Jones, who was bragging to others at the center of the table, and said, "He is indeed a man of genius. I don't know why he has the courage.

"If you ask me to analyze it afterwards, I can say that this is the player version of the Kaiserslautern miracle.

"If a young Golden Boot winner from a second-tier league makes progress and is promoted to the Premier League, there is a chance that he will win the Golden Boot.

"But at that time, who would dare to vote for him? I guess there were no more than 100 people. These 100 people were the ones who became rich with Maher."

The man remembered something and glanced at the young man, "But he seems to have a set of formulas."

"What?!" The young man opened his eyes wide, looking thirsty for knowledge.

"All in!" The man's expression changed. He remembered the look on the tavern owner's face when he told them this. "All in is an art! All in for the first time! All in for the second time! All in for the third time!"

He became more and more intoxicated as he spoke, gradually closing his eyes and shaking his head: "The fourth time! The fifth time"

After saying a lot, he came back to his senses and waved his hand, saying, "Maybe not that much, anyway, just go all in."

The young man stood there in a daze. He felt that this theory was weird and unconvincing. He thought it was some kind of data analysis.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems a bit interesting?
He raised his head and his eyes lit up, "You just mentioned that the player is the GOAT in the debut, and he will soon participate in the European Cup, is there a chance?"

The man looked at the young man from a distance and asked, "You want to try? You want to be the second Jones?"

The young man glanced at Jones, and his desire in his heart became stronger. He nodded and said, "Yes, I want a lot of money, so that I can have money to study in Loughborough and buy a car."

"But what if I lose money?"

"Stud poker is an art."

"Haha!" The two laughed together. When they parted, the man pointed at Jones and said to the young man, "He's drunk today and may not be in good shape. Come back next time when he's sober and ask for his opinion."

"it is good!"

The young man agreed and kept in mind the matter of asking Jones for advice. The European Cup has more than just the Golden Boot odds, there are also championship odds.

If he could get some guidance from Jones, maybe he would have a chance of success.

That night, in the BBC live program, Lineker invited Manchester City legend Peter Reid to conduct a post-match torture session.

"Tell me about it."

Lineker suppressed his laughter and raised his eyebrows at Peter Reid, “We saw a reporter tell Mancini your theory after the game, but Mancini seemed to have nothing to say.

"Because the 30th and 29th rounds are not the turning point for Arsenal, nor for Manchester City.

"Arsenal eventually defeated Liverpool very smoothly, while Manchester City was defeated by Swansea City."

Peter Reed smiled helplessly. Now that he was older, he actually didn't care too much about being slapped in the face. He wasn't as concerned about his reputation as he was when he was young.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be on tonight's show.

From his point of view, by gaining some popularity and participating in more programs, he might be able to earn some extra money for retirement.

"That's right." Peter Reid shrugged and smiled bitterly: "No one could have imagined that this season's Premier League title race would have led to such a situation.

"It was so unexpected. Football is unpredictable. You can't apply the rules of any time to the present.

"When I said that at that time, I was not biased towards Manchester City, the team I once coached. If I were to say it now, I would agree with the words of the reporter who angered Mancini in the post-match press conference.

"This game is like a turning point for the two title rivals. Manchester City is in danger."

He spread his hands and shook his head: "Can we not talk about this? Although the fans definitely want to see this, I just want to say this much."

"Then what shall we talk about?" Lineker still had a smile on his face. He had seen many such scenes since he started this program.

It is indeed as he said, no one can predict a football match, and making some hasty conclusions here will most likely backfire.

"Let's talk about Maher's record-tying. What a great player he is." Peter Reid thought for a moment and grinned, "Let's talk about Maher's record-tying.

"I came here in the 90s and I know very well the dominance and performance of Alan Shearer and Andy Cole at that time."

"Haha." Lineker didn't say anything, just laughed twice. Last time, he said he didn't want to talk about the players, but this time he changed his words.

In this way, Arsenal successfully completed all the games in March. Throughout March, they achieved a good record of 3 wins and 3 draw, remaining unbeaten across the board!

Even though they were eliminated from the Champions League, they have made some progress in the Premier League and their lead over the second place in the standings has increased significantly!

There are still 7 rounds in the league, and with the team in such a hot state, leading by 1 points with one more round played is actually a relatively big advantage.

If they continue to play like this, they will most likely end the suspense of the Premier League title in April and win the championship ahead of schedule!

Maher also completed this month's schedule successfully. His number of Premier League goals increased from 27 to 34. He scored 5 goals in 7 Premier League rounds in a single month, and also had 1 assist!
He and Wenger will be the favorites for the Player of the Month and Coach of the Month awards.

If he wins one more Player of the Month award, he will have fulfilled the goal he set in front of the media and won three Player of the Month awards in his debut season!
Next season, he may try to turn things around and strive to show even greater dominance!
Time continues to move forward, and it is April. The football atmosphere in the entire British Isles is becoming increasingly hot as time goes by.

Everyone obviously understands that this is January, which may decide the champion!
“Bang, bang, bang!”

On the 1st, on the grass in front of the villa, Maher was training heading with Jose.

This capability should have been upgraded last month, but the filming of the commercial delayed it for a few days.

But it’s okay, he should be able to train this killer weapon to level 4 today.

In the last 7 rounds of the Premier League, a more terrifying Arsenal No. 7 will appear!
"Right! Almost!"

Jose passed the ball and threw it by hand, observing Maher's training performance carefully and praising him from time to time: "The accuracy is getting better and better, and the success rate is also higher!
“It seems that your choices are always right. You are still the same as before, you can practice whatever you want.

"Sometimes I wonder, what if you really master the fancy moves, what kind of player will appear in European football then? Haha.

"Come on, another one!"

He threw a hand-thrown ball, and then saw Maher look back at the moon and head the ball into the blind corner of the goal with amazing force and accuracy.

Jose was about to lower his head to pick up the ball and continue when he found that the opponent suddenly stopped, tied his shoelaces and sat on the ground.

"Okay, let's take a break."

Mael waved at him, pretending to be tired and in need of a break. He sat for a while and then lay on the ground.

Seeing that Jose didn't come over, he smiled comfortably and turned his head left and right to feel the completely different feeling between his head and neck.

His header has just completed the upgrade from lv3 to lv4!
Almighty, it’s really here!
[Skill: High-altitude bombing level 4]

[Effect: After learning how to judge the landing point and the way to exert force, you start to try to improve the accuracy of headers, and use the fine-tuning of the header angle and direction to change the ball path, and finally approach the pinnacle! Possess the ability to bomb from high altitude! ]

The proficiency panel only mentioned the improvement in his heading accuracy, but he felt it was more than that.

He could clearly feel that his ability to judge the landing point, as well as the way and technique of heading the ball, had improved.

Therefore, the improvement of a single characteristic described in the proficiency panel each time is actually too general.

It will also enhance other sub-items that were previously practiced, so that these sub-items will all have the strength of the skill level and achieve a balance!
Maher didn’t feel it strongly before, probably because his legs and body were lifted and not as sensitive as his head and neck, so he didn’t pay much attention to it afterwards.

"From this perspective, level 5 may be unimaginably strong."

Maher had a clearer idea of ​​the level 5 skill, and his eyes were filled with longing.

By then, it will surely be an all-round evolution from top to perfect!
Level 5 will enhance all the abilities of his single skill. It is not just a simple evolution. It will even make up for some small weaknesses and loopholes in his ability, truly reaching the pinnacle!

"No wonder it's hard to practice." He secretly sighed in his heart, but he was not discouraged. He just kept improving.

He opened the proficiency panel to check the progress of other skills. This time, he also took a look at the "Decision" ability that automatically increased proficiency.

[Skill: Galloping lv4]

[Proficiency: (764/5000)]

[Skill: Divine Power lv4]

[Proficiency: (291/5000)]

[Skill: Decision Level 4]

[Proficiency: (1442/5000)]

[Skill: Violent Door Blast lv4]

[Proficiency: (1153/2000)]

[Skill: Fancy Breakthrough lv3]

[Proficiency: (473/2000)]

[Additional skills: Fancy skills lv1]

[Proficiency: (1072/1500)]

"The decision has exceeded 1,000?"

Maher hadn't noticed this skill for a long time, but he was surprised when he saw it.

This is his fastest progressing lv5000 skill with a basic proficiency of 4. It is hard to say whether it will break through lv5 earlier than Sprint and Divine Power!

This ability is still very important. It has a great impact on his game performance and can be classified as basketball IQ.

This season, he has scored many goals using his football IQ and special strong skills. It can even be said that every goal is supported by his football IQ.

Without it, there would be no 34 goals in the Premier League, no 7 goals in the Champions League, and no 8 goals in the Carabao Cup!
Once it breaks through, his efficiency will surely be improved in all aspects!
"I may not be able to use the fancy moves this month," he calculated the improvement speed of other abilities, "but after the season is over, I will focus on strengthening the violent shot. The first level 5 skill will definitely be unveiled in the European Cup!"

Thinking of this, he is even more looking forward to the European Cup after the end of the season.

This is his first continental-level competition, and he really doesn't know how far he can go with his current ability when paired with Deschamps' French team.

In short, if he becomes a superstar at the end of this season, then on the stage of the European Cup, he believes that he will definitely become a superstar with international influence!

Keep moving forward, I hope everything goes as planned, and I also hope there will be fewer twists and turns in the process!
ps: 55.1 posts updated monthly.

　If you can’t make up for it this month, you can continue to make up for it next month*1.5. However, the basic target for next month may have to be lowered a little (it’s a bit shameless, but I will still try my best to give back to everyone, so that every vote you cast will be worthwhile, and every reward will be worthwhile).

Thank you brothers for your support. I’ll take a rest first and hope I’ll be in better shape tomorrow!
