Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 202 Breaking the record! Every step forward is a new history! The King of the Emirates Stadium!

That evening, the third episode of "Football Records" about "Arsenal Club" and "Mael" was broadcast.

After the first two episodes were aired, the number of subscribers to the two columns has reached 9.4 and 5.9 respectively.

This is a very reasonable gap. Arsenal Club's programs have the support of the team's die-hard fans, and they are more exciting and varied, which will naturally attract more users.

Maher's life and training records, and monthly summary comments, are quite impressive to have nearly 6 readers.

"Mrs. Smith, everyone can call me that."

In this issue of Arsenal Club's column, club shareholder Mrs. Smith attended as an invited guest and she interviewed Emilia in the studio.

The theme of this issue is – Arsenal’s road to revival!
"There has been talk these days that the Premier League champion will be decided this month. What does Mrs Smith think?"

Emilia calmly held the script and asked with a smile: "Because we know that at the end of this month, Manchester City will have a derby battle with Manchester United at home.

"Immediately after this round of games, Arsenal will also face the challenge of Manchester City at home."

She crossed her hands and said, "A series of six-point battles is indeed likely to determine the champion, especially if two teams tie. The other team will definitely reap the benefits."

On the big screen behind the two of them, the game schedules of Arsenal and Manchester City this month were released.

Arsenal have played one more game, and they have a total of 1 games this month.

分别是4月8日客战狼队、4月12日主战维冈竞技、4月17日客战斯托克城、4月21日主战切尔西、4月28日主战曼城。

Manchester City and Manchester United have one game less, and both teams have six games this month.

曼城方面，他们将在4月4日客战西布朗、4月9日主战诺维奇、4月13日主战斯托克城、4月18日客战狼队、4月22日主战曼联、4月28日客战阿森纳。

曼联方面，4月4日客战布莱克本、4月9日主战谢菲联、4月13日客战阿斯顿维拉、4月18日主战维冈竞技、4月22日客战曼城、4月28日主战埃弗顿。

"Yes."

Mrs. Smith looked like an exquisite old lady, and her demeanor showed a kind of vitality that was different from that of her age. "You hope that the Manchester derby will end in a draw, and then Arsenal will each get a 2-point advantage, right?
"To be honest, I have thought about this too. A draw is the best result for Arsenal and I will definitely pray for it."

"Haha." The two laughed together, and the atmosphere of the show became much more harmonious.

"Let me tell you what I think about the championship situation. I have to explain myself first."

Mrs. Smith smiled with bright eyes. "Although I am old and people may have gender stereotypes, I know a lot about football. I have supported Arsenal for 50 years."

She turned to look at the schedule, pointed at it and said, “Actually, I think, just like before, the record against the lower-middle teams will determine who wins the championship.

"We have seen that the three championship contenders have all faced a large number of relegation teams this month, including Stoke City, Wigan Athletic, Wolves and others.

"They are very difficult to play against and at this stage they are as competitive as the championship contenders."

"It's easy to understand. If the top three teams in the standings are fighting for the championship, then the teams that are likely to fall into the bottom three are fighting for survival.

"One is charging forward, and the other is fighting desperately, so they are naturally different. This kind of willpower may allow them to make up for the difference in their personal abilities."

Mrs. Smith moved back and concluded, “Whoever can avoid losing points, or lose fewer points, to them will have a better chance of winning the game.

"I'd go with Arsenal at this point because we haven't lost this season."

Emilia nodded, then signaled to the director to bring up a clip of highlights from the three championship contending teams to help the audience relax.

Soon, Maher's celebration action of clasping his arms around himself appeared, followed by his somersault celebration, sliding on his knees celebration, ghost jump celebration, etc. Naturally, they had to play a video of the boss showing off first.

To balance it out, they added 30 seconds of highlights of Aguero and Rooney after playing 10 seconds of such videos.

After these, every game of the three teams from the beginning of the season to date appeared on the screen, with about 2-3 seconds of footage per game.

On one side of the screen, there is a constantly scrolling scoreboard, which broadcasts the score rankings and changes in the top of the list in real time after each round.

People saw Manchester City leading the standings from the beginning, Manchester United then overtook them, and then Arsenal came from behind and remained at the top of the list.

"Okay." After the broadcast ended, Emilia continued the rhythm and asked with a smile: "I believe everyone's desire for the final championship has reached its peak. We don't need to elaborate on this. Just leave it to the team and the players.

“Since the theme of this issue is the road to rejuvenation, I would like to ask Mrs. Smith, will there be any changes in the club this season?”

Mrs. Smith nodded, and after thinking for a while, she broke the news, "There have been a lot of changes. Let me tell you about one that I am involved in. Arsenal is likely to complete the change in its equity structure by the end of the season.

"Someone might buy the team outright and the club's financial situation might improve, even approaching the top level of the Premier League."

Emilia was stunned. She didn't expect that the other party would reveal this directly to the Arsenal fans.

She hesitated for a moment and then asked: "What are the chances of this happening? Is there really a chance of getting close to the top level of the Premier League in this regard?"

"I don't know either." Mrs. Smith didn't say anything absolute, but hinted with a smile: "The value increase brought by Maher this season will make investors believe in this club to a certain extent.

"They are also willing to spend more money to resolve disputes and invest in the team.

"Because people know that Arsenal has always been a great club and if they have great people working for it, it will definitely return to its peak.

"Even more, creating a greater career and truly becoming a world-class giant is very attractive to investors."

Emilia nodded. Combined with what Maher often revealed to the newspaper, she could basically guess that the struggle between Kroenke and Usmanov had reached its final stage.

I just don’t know, who will win and acquire the team in full?
Forget it, this is not her concern. She just needs to do the show well and wait for the moment when Arsenal wins the championship.

Emilia believes that if Mahel leads Arsenal to win the title in record-breaking fashion, there will be another surge in subscribers to these two columns.

People understand that the team and the player will have a greater interest and be willing to pay real money.

On a larger scale, this is a major step forward for the newspaper; on a smaller scale, she can also get a piece of the pie and have better living conditions.

On April 4, both Manchester United and Manchester City faced off in the 4st round of the Premier League.

After this round, the number of matches between them and Arsenal will return to the same level, and there will be a real points difference between them.

"Etihad Stadium! The game has started. The home team has a match they cannot lose. Their opponent is West Bromwich Albion, who has basically escaped the relegation zone!
"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both teams"

"."

"Oh! One to zero! Nasri's assist allowed Aguero to score his 25th Premier League goal! Only 6 minutes later, Manchester City scored!"

"."

"Nasri again! Another pass! Middle! Aguero scores twice! 26th goal in the Premier League! -!"

"."

"The third one!! Tevez's goal! Assisted by Aguero, he is in really hot form today!"

"."

"Four to zero! Manchester City showed no mercy at the last moment! It seemed that they were venting all their anger at losing to Swansea on West Bromwich Albion!

"The game is over, Manchester City won a big victory, Mancini should be breathing a sigh of relief. After all 31 rounds of games, the gap between them and Arsenal is only 5 points, there is no bigger gap!"

"."

At the Etihad Stadium, on the extension line of the center circle, the two coaches seemed to be secretly competing with each other when shaking hands, and neither of them was willing to let go.

"are you crazy?!"

Mancini suddenly pulled the West Bromwich Albion coach towards him, and their hands were still holding together, and it seemed that a violent conflict was about to break out.

"okay!"

"Do not impulse!"

Assistant coaches and substitute players from both teams rushed over to pull the two apart, but this made the two quarrel even more fierce. They jumped up and down, pointing at each other and cursing.

Mancini seemed to have a lot of pressure to release. He walked around his players and said, "Be respectful! If you fail, accept it. Don't be a coward!"

Someone else came up to pull him, but he kept rushing forward, not wanting to end the conflict.

Ewood Park, where the match between Manchester United and Blackburn is being played, has come to the final moments.

“Bang!!”

Welbeck got the ball at the back of the penalty area, got rid of the defender and suddenly kicked the ball. The ball was touched by the defender and rolled into the near corner.

"Gooooaaaaalll!!"

Amid the drawn-out roar of the live commentator, Welbeck put one hand to his ear, rushed towards the Blackburn Rovers fan area with an arrogant expression, and then slid out on his knees.

Two to zero!
They secured the victory!

On the sidelines, Ferguson glanced at his watch and found that the game would end in 2 minutes.

He chewed his gum for a few times and stood on the sidelines, watching the court with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Beep! Beep! Beep--!"

The game ended soon after, and Manchester United defeated Blackburn Rovers 2-0, beating a team in the relegation zone.

"Pa pa!" Sir Ferguson clapped his hands. Now, they are 6 points away from the top of the table, Arsenal.

possible!
They won't give up!
In this way, the 31st round of the Premier League has come to an end, and the last 7 rounds are about to officially arrive.

“积分榜一：阿森纳31轮25胜6平，积分81。积分榜二：曼城31轮24胜4平3败，积分76。积分榜三：曼联31轮23胜6平2败积分75。”——英超积分榜
On April 4, Arsenal faced Wolves, who were ranked second from the bottom in the Premier League, in the 8nd round of the Premier League.

At Molineux Stadium, the team went all out and did not underestimate the opponent. Everyone knew how crazy a relegation team would be in the final period.

"Wolves' defense was very resolute, their moves were a bit big, and the referee's whistle was really tight in this game!
“This is not a good sign, we have seen Maher and Van Persie fall to the ground several times, if this continues, the game may get out of control!
"."

"Ball behind! Opportunity! Maher is very fast, and Ward and Bassong are following him. Ward doesn't want to let him pass, so he makes a flying tackle!!

"The ball was not tackled! Maher staggered a few steps and continued to dribble forward! Ward was out of position! The attack was in advantage!

"Now there is only Bassong on defense. It may be difficult for him to stop Mahel. He shakes, changes direction and accelerates! He can accelerate even more! Oh, Bassong is going to be passed!
"He chose to try a tackle in the end! Maher fell, a sideways tackle, and it was a tackle by the last man on the defensive line. How will the referee rule?!"

"."

On the court, Maher rolled on the ground and felt a sharp pain in his shin. He held his leg and rolled on the ground twice.

When he saw Bassoon standing beside him with a look of disdain, he felt a surge of anger in his chest. He gritted his teeth and stood up and walked towards him quickly.

In this game, he has suffered similar violations four or five times, and he would basically be knocked to the ground as soon as he got the ball.

This is absolutely unprecedented. He has never encountered such a team during his time in the Championship!
"damn it!"

He stepped forward, tore off Bassong's jersey, and pushed him forward fiercely, "Get ready to roll! Next time I see you on the field, you'll see how I play football with you!"

Bassong staggered backwards, steadied himself and was about to come up when he saw the referee coming from the side.

"Beep!"

The referee first rushed between the two men to stop them, then faced Bassong, reached into his back pocket with his right hand, and a ruby ​​card instantly appeared in his hand.

Red card!

"Wat?!" Bassong looked incredulous. He thought the referee's penalties were always light and he didn't dare to draw a card. He didn't expect it to be so severe right away.

"Get out!" The referee was determined. After turning around and looking at Maher, he hesitated and just gave a few warnings.

Maher nodded to the referee, touched his shin, and turned away.

He is not afraid of the defensive players treating him like this, but in the final stage, he really can't afford to get injured. Once injured, it will be difficult for the team to win the championship, and there is basically no chance of remaining undefeated.

He could feel that the team was now almost inseparable from him.

If he leaves Arsenal, it would be like Zidane leaving the French team.

"."

"Wolves players surrounded the referee and I could hear the huge boos at Molineux from the studio inside the stadium. They couldn't accept playing against Arsenal at full strength with 10 men!
“I have just said that the referee cannot give defensive players opportunities again and again, because that will lead to their actions becoming more and more exaggerated!

"Showing a red card now may seem like a warning to the other defensive players of the Wolves, but in fact it has little effect. They already have 10 players to play with, and it may be difficult for them to focus on the game!

"This is not a good time, the referee keeps making mistakes!"

"."

"Mael was knocked down again, and the players from both sides were fighting each other. Someone started to fight! The game was out of control!
"Zubal, who tackled, received a yellow card. Knightley, Van Persie and Maher were all shown yellow cards one after another!
"I have a feeling this won't be the last time in this game!"

"."

"Mael's cross! Walcott followed up in the middle and shot the ball!
"The ball goes in! Arsenal is leading by one to zero!
"In the 41st minute of the game, they finally broke through the Wolves' defense and scored a goal!
"With Wolves playing with 10 players and retreating across the board, this goal could very well be the one that kills the game! It will be very difficult for Wolves to attack!

"Hit? What's going on? Why are the players from both teams huddled together? No one is going to celebrate?
"Ah, we saw the replay. After Maher passed the ball, he was knocked to the ground by Stillman. This could be another red card. They were really rough today!
"Yellow card! Wenger was not happy and surrounded the fourth official to ask for an explanation!
"Maher stood up and ran towards Stillman, but was pulled away by his teammates. He had a really hard time playing today."

"."

"The second half of the game is about to start. Ah! We see Maher being substituted and Chamberlain coming on the field. Wenger doesn't dare to take the core players' safe and secure victory!

"Benayon is warming up, and Van Persie may also come down! They are already one goal ahead, so it won't be a problem for them to beat their opponent!"

Inside the stadium, Maher had already come to the bench, high-fived the substitute players with a depressed look on his face, and then stood up in his seat.

It was a pity that he failed to score 35 goals in this game, but he understood Wenger's good intentions and was not disappointed.

"It's okay, Maher." Rosicky was beside him and could guess what he was thinking from his expression, "After this round, there are still 6 rounds to go, you can do it.

"You shouldn't even think about whether you can achieve the 35-goal target.

"It's about whether you can score 38 goals. It sounds a little bit outrageous, but everyone knows that you can really do it.

"You are a special one, so you should have some special goals."

After listening to this, Maher smiled slightly and asked, "Why don't you think I can score 40 goals?"

Rosicky turned around and smiled brightly: "If this is really your goal, I think you can do it."

Mael glanced at him and realized that he was serious about what he said, and he felt much better.

"Snapped!"

He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Rosicky. "I also believe that you will win your first league title in England this season."

"Let's cheer together." Rosicky turned his gaze to the court, but the smile on his face remained.

After Maher left the field, the tempo slowed down a bit. Van Persie also came off the field soon after, and Arsenal began to play a more conservative tactic.

This gave the Wolves the illusion that they could attack outwards.

"Oh!"

As a result, as soon as the attack was launched, Arsenal's right winger Walcott scored a goal with a volley in the counterattack, helping the team to secure the victory!

Two to zero!
This is also the score at the end of the game. Arsenal defeated Wolves in this very fragmented game!

The total score is 84!

"Well done!"

After the game, Maher was in a better mood. He stood on the sidelines and clapped his hands to encourage his teammates, "Keep going, keep going! In two more games, we will definitely be able to score more than 2 points!"

“Keep winning!”

"come on!"

"Go, go, go!"

Arsenal players cheered each other up, and everyone looked solemn. They would remember the difficulties of each game, hold on, and continue to forge ahead.

The moment they win the championship, they must release all their emotions and celebrate wildly for a whole day and night!
No, if the team is still undefeated by then, they will not relax, but keep this emotion until after the season ends.

If they could really achieve this important achievement, they would celebrate for three days!

At 32: p.m. the next day, Manchester City faced mid-table team Norwich away from home. This was also their nd round Premier League match.

"Surman heads the ball! Joe Hart saves it! Another header! The ball goes in!
“Norwich took the lead in the opening attack. They had no desire, but they played a pleasing attack!”

"."

"David Silva's through ball! Manchester City broke through Norwich's defense and Tevez volleyed into the far corner!
"The ball goes in! In less than 10 minutes, Manchester City equalized the score. It seems that the defeat against Swansea did not affect them!
"Mancini's team has a strong ability to adjust. This is a strong team!"

"."

"Tevez got the ball in the penalty area, what to do? Pass it to the left side, Aguero is making a run, he seems unable to catch up with the ball!
"Got it! Did it go out of bounds? Norwich players are raising their hands to complain!

"Aguero ignored them, shook them off and shot! Beautiful, Aguero scored his 27th league goal! Second only to Mahre and Van Persie!"

"."

"Clichy came in from the wing, waiting for his teammates to enter the penalty area, and sent a cross with his left foot!
"Adam Johnson scored from the back post! Three to one! Manchester City won the game!"

"."

"Forza!!"

On the sidelines, Mancini leaned back with his arms raised high, celebrating with Manchester City fans.

As long as they can keep up with Arsenal, they will definitely wait for a miracle!

At nine o'clock in the evening, the match between Manchester United and Sheffield United also kicked off at Old Trafford.

The game could have gone on normally, but Valencia and Gilbert started arguing with each other for some reason.

The two received a yellow card in a conflict in the 31st minute of the first half. Then in the 52nd minute of the second half, the two clashed again and hugged and wrestled each other, resulting in both being sent off.

Ten to ten!
For Sheffield United, this may be acceptable. They have no worries about relegation and no hope of qualifying for the European Cup, so it doesn't matter if they lose a core player in the defensive midfielder position.

The young players in the team can be trained. Anyway, Gilbert is about to return to Arsenal, so it is a good opportunity to train his successor.

But for Manchester United, this is a bit hard to accept. They will play away against Villa, who is about to slip into the relegation zone. Without Valencia, their offense will definitely be affected.

This season, the team has encountered many problems with its forward line being weak, and it was Valencia who relied on Valencia to come in from the position of full-back and make the final decision with one kick.

The number of goals he has scored is more than that of some teams' forwards, so his importance is self-evident.

Ferguson pursed his lips in anger. He wondered if Gilbert was a second-line warrior sent by Arsenal, waiting to stab Manchester United with his life at the critical moment.

"Oh!"

Even in the 63rd minute of the game, when Rooney scored a goal, he didn't celebrate much and just stood on the sidelines with a gloomy face.

It seemed that he was getting angrier the more he thought about it. When the game entered injury time, Ferguson pointed at his watch with a serious face and gave instructions to the players.

Attack fiercely!

Take it out on Sheffield United!

One minute later, veteran Scholes lived up to expectations and volleyed the ball into the net, scoring the second goal for Manchester United.

Two to zero!
"Haha!" Ferguson finally had a smile on his face. He put one hand in his pocket and waved to the fans in the stands with the other hand.

It seems that the team has not lost its soul, and the power of 'Ferguson time' is still there!

This was also the score between the two teams at the end of the game. In the end, Manchester United defeated Sheffield United 2-0 and won the game.

All three teams had a smooth 3 rounds and continued to move forward hand in hand.

“积分榜一：阿森纳32轮26胜6平，积分84。积分榜二：曼城32轮25胜4平3败，积分79。积分榜三：曼联32轮24胜6平2败积分78。”——英超积分榜
On April 4, the 12rd round of the Premier League arrived, and Arsenal played at home against Wigan Athletic, which was fourth from the bottom.

This is definitely one of the most motivated teams in the relegation zone. They only need to get 5 more points to completely escape the relegation zone. In the last 6 rounds of games, they will definitely fight hard to grab points from all teams for their own survival!
"The tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, and soleus muscles all have hidden dangers."

Before the game, Maher's personal doctor Lewis examined him and communicated with Wenger: "I was hit by a few tackles in the last game, and the muscles around the tibia have suffered a serious injury.

“Generally speaking, a hard injury is not a big deal, you can recover if you rest well.

"But the players are training hard with the team every day, and the habit of daily extra training has caused too much pressure on this part, and recovery is very slow. Now the muscles are tight."

He pinched Maher’s calf a few more times and finally judged: “My suggestion is to only play for 45 minutes, of course it’s just a suggestion.

"The players have a good physical foundation, so even if they play the whole game, the chances of them getting injured are not very high.

"But it's better not to gamble and let him play this game as relaxed as possible."

Wenger looked at Maher's calf with a serious expression, paused for a moment and asked: "As long as he rests well in this game, there shouldn't be such hidden dangers in the next five games, right?"

"No." Lewis nodded firmly. "This is also one of the reasons why I told him not to exercise too vigorously. As long as he doesn't play all the time in the next week, he will recover as before."

"Okay." Wenger's serious expression remained unchanged, but he agreed verbally, "I'll let Benayoun start here and let him run in the second half."

Maher remained silent, as he still trusted the professionals in this regard.

"Beep!"

The game officially started at five o'clock in the afternoon. The fans at the Emirates Stadium were suddenly shocked when they saw Maher sitting on the bench.

You won't be hurt, right?

I felt fine during the warm-up before the game. Could it be that I was injured in a non-contact situation?
Before they had time to buffer this, Wigan Athletic, who pressed forward on all fronts, launched a threatening attack.

"Jordi Gomez! He's scored 3 goals in the last 4 games and led Wigan to a draw at Stamford Bridge! He dribbled the ball into the Arsenal defence!
"A cross! It's Di Santo who's outflanking from the back post! Headed in, beautiful! One to zero! Wigan Athletic is leading!!"

"."

"Yeah!" Behind the Arsenal goal, thousands of Wigan fans waved their hands to celebrate.

The team has indeed shown a different side recently, which often brings them surprises.

"Beep!"

"Oh!"

Arsenal then sent a ball from the center circle and started the transmission and organization in the backcourt.

Unexpectedly, Rosicky, who started the game today, suddenly slipped while catching the ball, causing the ball to slip behind him.

“Bang!!”

The opponent's Jordi Gomez, who was in great form, received the ball and made a stunning lob shot into the Arsenal net.

Szczesny had just walked out of the penalty area and had no time to turn around to defend. He could only watch the ball bounce off the ground and roll into the net.

Two to zero!
"Aha!!" Wigan fans seemed to see victory just around the corner, and they clapped their hands loudly, praising the team's offensive core Jordi.

2 goals in 2 minutes!
Jordi and Di Santo ran side by side to the sidelines and slid out on their knees near the corner flag area.

At the edge of the court, Wenger frowned, stood up with a worried look on his face, and stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets.

He wanted to say something, but when he saw Rosicky's expression that was about to cry, he held back and turned around and walked back to the coaching seat.

It hasn't been 10 minutes yet, maybe there's no need to rush, we can wait for the team to stabilize and then attack. These two goals were probably due to some individual mistakes.

Behind him, Maher was also looking at the court, feeling a little anxious.

If he were there, the opponent might not dare to press forward so aggressively and take advantage of Rosicky's forced errors.

Arsenal players are still not used to it. He wants to play as soon as possible, the team must not lose to Wigan at home.

"Beep!"

"Oh!"

After the restart, Wigan Athletic learned their lesson and played a 5-4-1 formation in the midfield and backcourt, only occasionally using counterattacks to harass Arsenal's defense.

In the 20th minute of the game, Van Persie's volley created a corner kick opportunity.

Rosicky stood in the corner flag area and made a lob pass to the front point.

There, Wigan defender Boyce was ready, stretching out his left foot and trying to kick the ball out of the penalty area with the outside of his foot.

"Bah!"

As a result, the football hit his toes and not only failed to be cleared, but also stopped on the small penalty area line.

Kicked it!
Van Persie flashed out from behind him and also poked the ball with the toe of his left foot, but it went towards the near corner.

"Swish!" The football hit the net without much force, but it passed through the goalkeeper's fingers!

The ball went in!
One to two!

Get one back!
Van Persie was about to run to the sidelines to celebrate, but then he remembered that the team was behind, so he picked up the ball and ran towards the center circle.

After this goal, Arsenal's confidence increased greatly and they formed an attack on Wigan, but they still lacked the finishing touch.

"Beep--!"

They failed to equalize the score until the referee blew the half-time whistle.

When they left the field, the Arsenal players looked a little disappointed. They lowered their heads and walked towards the locker room without saying a word. Everyone was under great pressure.

The situation of Wigan Athletic players was basically the same. They were leading 2-0, but they lost the lead by one goal and were only one goal ahead. This was the most unstable lead and Arsenal could equalize at any time.

"Aahhh!" At this moment, the players on both sides suddenly heard a huge cheer coming from the field.

What would this be called?
Many people looked back in confusion, but saw nothing but Maher running towards the court to warm up.

It's his turn to appear!

The fans are cheering for this!
The eyes of Arsenal players lit up, including Benayoun. He felt deeply that he could not play the role of Maher by staying on the left side, and he was worried that the unbeaten streak would be broken.

Even though he seems to be just a rotation player of this team, he also attaches great importance to it.

As long as he is a member of the first-team, he will have a share of these honors!
After Maher comes on the court, he might improve the team's offense and help the team equalize the score as soon as possible!
On the other side, there was a hint of sadness in the eyes of Wigan Athletic players. The little confidence they had in winning was gone, and their belief was not as firm anymore.

33 goals in 34 rounds. This was achieved without playing in 33 games, plus 18 assists.

No one would think that they can definitely defend against such a player, at least the players on the relegation team know that it is impossible.

Even if his cutting inside is blocked, he can still cut inside and score; if his cutting inside is blocked, he can retreat or pass the threatening ball to the bottom to assist his teammates.

The second half is difficult!

"Oooohhh!!" Before the start of the second half, a long cheer rang out at the Emirates Stadium. More than 50,000 Arsenal fans stood up and raised their hands to welcome the team's striker.

Maher touched the grass of the field and sprinted to his position.

After sitting in the lower half and observing, he has discovered that the opponent's defense of the 'pocket position' is not tight, or in other words, their division of labor here is not clear, and they are often a step behind in stealing the ball.

This position is the gap between the back line and the midfield line, which was the area most utilized by Guardiola's Manchester City later.

Look for opportunities after you come on the court, maybe you can get a particularly good shooting space and angle in the middle!

"Beep!"

Soon, with a whistle, the second half of the game officially started.

Wigan Athletic called back another defender to assist the right back in marking Mahel.

At the beginning of the game, this change was somewhat effective, and they were often able to block the ball passed to Mahel by the Arsenal midfield.

However, Maher always gives people a careless feeling, as if he doesn't want to run actively to create gaps.

Is he really injured?
Kick back?
This discovery brought some surprises to the Wigan Athletic players. Of course, they were still wary of Maher and did not take it lightly.

“Mael has the ball on the left! Bad chance, pass it back to Kyle Walker!

"Kyle Walker hits back and breaks inside! His feet are so fast that Boyce can't keep up with him and McCarthy is also shaken off!
"A lob shot! Ah. It was too high. It seemed to have hit the defender's leg and changed direction?
"The referee awarded a goal kick and Maher shook his hands to express his dissatisfaction. He felt that it was a Wigan player who poked the ball out of bounds!"

"."

“I have to tell you again here that Maher has scored 34 goals in the Premier League this season. As long as he scores one more goal, the records of Alan Shearer and Andy Cole will be broken!
"Arsenal's attack is advancing! Arteta is dribbling the ball forward, looking for a connection point!

“Mael appeared in the middle, he must have rushed over at full speed, but MacArthur didn’t notice him!

"Arteta made a penetrating pass! Maher stopped the ball and turned to face the goal directly. Do you want to kick it?!"

"."

At the top of Wigan Athletic's penalty area, Maher finally got the chance he had always wanted. After turning around, he immediately saw the opponent's three central defenders just two or three meters in front of him.

Looking back, he saw two Wigan midfielders turning around and preparing to chase him.

But because there were so many defenders and they were in the middle, no one was too worried. In other words, they believed that their teammates would be able to get to the front soon and they didn't have to take the ball themselves.

"Snapped!"

Therefore, it was not until he dribbled the ball to the front right that someone woke up from the dream and rushed forward to block the shooting angle.

At this time, it's too late!

"Bang!!"

Mahel stretched his body to the extreme, swung his legs backward to the extreme, pulled the bow to its full extent, and kicked out a heavy cannon that hit the instep.

This was the opportunity he had always wanted, to throw the opponent into chaos, giving himself time to adjust and making his shot of higher quality!

“Crack!”

Grass clippings flew everywhere, and at the moment of Maher's shot, his foot accidentally lifted up a piece of grass, making a small hole in the ground.

Several Wigan Athletic players slid out, but they were all a step slower than the ball. Their constantly flying tackles blocked the goalkeeper's view.

"Swish!" The football finally hit the middle of the near corner of the net. The instantaneous pull made the net tight, making a crisp sound, announcing that the goal was broken.

The ball went in!
Two to two!
Goal 35!
“Wow!!”

"Boom!!"

The Emirates Stadium suddenly fell into a boiling frenzy, and the fans entered an unprecedented state of madness. The way they looked at Maher was no longer just the look of looking at a team hero.

It was more like a pilgrimage, looking towards their beliefs.

It’s still their most familiar long-range shot, and it’s still their most familiar way to save the team!
He always does it!

"King!!" Some fans raised their hats and waved at Maher.

"We love you!" Some fans pulled out a banner with a slogan congratulating Maher for breaking the 35-goal record. They had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Arthur! He is definitely King Arthur of Arsenal!" Someone finally confirmed that from today on, they can truly call Maher the King of Arsenal.

“He’s the king of the Emirates Stadium!”

"That's right, just like Henry who has already gone to the MLS, we should also call it after the club's stadium!"

"I agree! Henry is the king of Highbury. Now a striker who is younger, better and has more future than him has appeared. Of course, we have to call him the new and bigger 'King of the Emirates Stadium'!"

"He deserves it!"

“Very consistent!”

The fans were ecstatic, and soon the title spread throughout the stadium, first among Arsenal fans.

But everyone believes that when this game is over, it will spread all over the world, and Maher will then have a new title.

This is a treatment that Van Persie has never received before, but I believe that at this moment he has no time to be sad, as everyone will celebrate for this goal.

"Yeah!"

Off the field, Van Persie and all the Arsenal players rushed towards Maher. They had promised him that they would line up and fall to the ground with him to celebrate when he scored his 35th goal.

But surprisingly, Maher actually rushed towards the goal at this time, hugged the ball out, and then ran towards the center circle again.

No celebration!

He wants to save time and pursue the ultimate victory!

"Come on!!"

As Maher ran back with the ball, his arms couldn't help but tremble. His free right hand kept punching the air to celebrate this record-breaking goal.

35 goals!
From today on, his name will proudly stand at the top of the English Premier League single-season goal list!
Win the championship!

After two years in this world, he finally broke a very important record!

A feeling of sudden enlightenment appeared in his chest, as if he had pushed away the clouds and mist, saw the sunshine, and could move on to the next stage.

At this moment, he seemed to see Cristiano Ronaldo from his Manchester United period appear in front of him and wink at him, Alan Shearer and Andy Cole running in front and turning around to wave at him.

These outstanding forwards have left their classic works here, reaching heights that cannot be matched by future generations.

Their legendary stories have influenced generation after generation and left countless shooters far behind!
However, when Maher rushed forward a few more steps, he found that all these people had disappeared, and he was the only one running in the front, with an open, endless road ahead.

Now he is the best and most efficient striker in the history of this league!
Every step he takes forward will create new history and new records!
“Aha!!”

Maher couldn't help but let out another roar of release, then he placed the ball in the center of the center circle and ran to his position.

It’s not that he didn’t want to go to the sidelines to celebrate as agreed long ago, but the three points in the championship period were too important. If there was still time, he had to fight for victory!
If he can score another goal later, he will fulfill his promise to his teammates.

At that time, the joy of victory will be superimposed on the joy of breaking the record, making that moment an unforgettable moment in your life.

The looks of Van Persie and others changed. They asked themselves honestly that they could not do this.

If they break an important record, they will not be able to help but run to the sidelines even in the most urgent and critical moment.

"Come on!! Keep going!!"

Some people clapped their hands, and were inspired by Maher, returning to the half court with high morale.

The others also ran back quickly. They wanted to help Mahel, who had achieved important results today, to win the victory.

"Clap clap clap!"

On the sidelines, Wenger, Philip and others huddled in front of the coaching bench. They seemed to have just celebrated wildly and then calmed down and applauded Maher with appreciation.

They can no longer describe how lucky they are to have such a striker. They only hope that he can stay in the team and work with Arsenal to create more such wonderful moments.

Even achieve higher and more outstanding achievements, until his name is tied to this club and becomes eternal!

"Beep!" The game whistle sounded again, and all members of Arsenal rushed across the half court at full speed.

The Wigan Athletic players were already a little nervous, and Arsenal were now more like the beast than them.

"Bang!!"

As soon as the ball started, Maher made another shot in front of the penalty area, but failed to score.

"嘡啷!"

Four minutes later, Van Persie received a pass from Rosicky and had a chance to score, but the ball was unlucky and hit the post and bounced out of the bottom line.

Seven minutes later, Koscielny completed a header in a corner kick and the ball flew over the crossbar by a hair's breadth.

The momentum is rising!!

"Arsenal!! Arsenal!!"

The fans' loud encouragement then rang out, resounding like a bell. They cooperated with the team very well and knew when the team needed their help.

"Bang, bang, snap!"

In the 78th minute of the game, Walcott got a one-on-one opportunity on the right side. He successfully passed the opponent's full-back and sent a cross to the middle before the central defender came up.

The football spun over the goalkeeper's head and began to fall at the back post.

"Boom!"

A figure wearing Arsenal's No. 7 jersey rushed into the small penalty area at a high speed. When he was one meter away from the ball, he threw his body out and slammed the falling football hard.

"Bang! Shua!" Two sounds rang out almost at the same time, accompanied by the sound of something falling heavily to the ground.

Maher and the football went into the net together and stuck to Wigan Athletic's goal.

The ball went in again!

Three to two!
"Wow!" When the shocking sound of tens of thousands of people shouting together resounded throughout the stadium again, commentators from many TV stations leaned back in their seats, staring at the stadium in a daze, unable to utter the commentary.

36 goals!!

Scored twice to reverse the situation!

“Wow!”

Maher burst into laughter, waving one hand constantly, and rushed to the edge of the court with his eyes closed and his head shaking, enjoying the moment only with his hearing and feeling.

This time, he can celebrate and release everything without hesitation!

They are going to win!
On the day he broke the record, he finally won a victory for the team.

After reaching the sidelines, he used all his explosive strength to bounce off the ground and punched the sky with his right clenched fists: "Boom!"

He landed quickly, but his emotions would not calm down for a short time.

After turning around, he looked at the seven or eight Arsenal teammates rushing towards him and touched his waist.

"Haha!" Arsenal players laughed. They knew that Maher wanted to make up for the celebration that had been agreed upon.

The players lined up and Van Persie stood behind them all.

As Mahel shook his hands and pretended to turn the revolver, everyone laughed and put their weight behind them.

"BoomBoom!" Two 'gunshots' filled with joy rang out, and Sagna and Arteta on the outside fell to the ground, followed by Mertesacker and Kyle Walker.

The fans soon caught up with the rhythm, watching Maher's hand move and shouting, the whole stadium celebrating with him, "Boom! Boom!"

When Rosicky and Walcott fell, when Koscielny and Alexander Song fell, only Van Persie was left standing.

Maher raised his two guns, smiled and fired a final shot at him, "Boom!"

"Ah!" Van Persie opened his eyes wide, imitating the characters in the movies, pretending to spit out blood, struggled left and right for a few times, and then fell to the ground.

In the corner flag area, everyone was in chaos, and Maher was the only one left standing. He pretended to blow out the smoke from the muzzle of his gun, then raised his hands and looked towards the fans area, "Yeah!!"

Just like he is on the Premier League scorer list and Arsenal is on the standings, a season's glory is about to pass, and they are standing at the top!
