Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 205 The Guardian published a long article praising Maher! Big-name fans arrived in London! The final battle begins!

"One to zero! Manchester City wins the Manchester derby! The suspense of the championship will be left to the 36th round of the league!" - Sky Sports

"A challenge, an opportunity. If Arsenal can beat Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium, they will win the Premier League trophy!" - The Times

"It is rumored that France coach Didier Deschamps will watch the match between Arsenal and Manchester City. There are many potential members of the French team in both teams! Of course, the most important thing is to observe the performance of the offensive core Maher!" - "Mirror"

"Three titles in two years? Maher may win his third title this month, which will become the most valuable title in his career!" - AS

"Wenger's coaching career has been full of twists and turns! He and the club he loves are about to bloom again after withering!" - "Tutankhamun"

After the Manchester derby ended, the topic of Arsenal winning the championship became completely hot.

This has been mentioned often before, but most people focus on a certain point, or suppress their emotions to a greater or lesser extent and dare not express them fully.

But now, it's possible!
Arsenal may be only one game away from the final championship!

Even if many people doubt whether they can beat Manchester City at home, it will not affect anything. More people believe that they will be able to get through this last crisis smoothly!
Among many hot news, a long article from the official newspaper "The Guardian" is more outstanding.

Its title is - "Why Arsenal has been able to stay at the top of the standings despite the fact that most people are not optimistic about it, and based on this, we can see how important Maher is to the team!"

The main text has clear logic and profoundly explains the three major reasons.

"First, a good team atmosphere, which is an important point that is easily overlooked. Arsenal has hardly had any internal conflicts during the season, and the relationship between the players and the coaching staff is very good.

"Such a team is more stable, more focused, they don't have to deal with anything bad, they just have to focus on all the fronts.

“It’s not easy to do that, in fact, they have had a lot of changes this season.

“From the departure of Fabregas, Nasri and Clichy at the beginning of the season, to the arrival of Mahrez, Arteta, Mertesacker, Chamberlain and Andre Gomes.

"Then Shamakhr and Arshavin left, and Kyle Walker and Henry joined.

"Their starting lineup and rotation lineup have almost been completely reshuffled compared to last season, but everyone still gets along very well.

"Except for a fight between Mahel and Gilbert (currently on loan) and Fabregas before the season, they had no conflicts during the season, which is very commendable."

"."

“To explain why this is the case, I’ll start with Maher.

"After winning the Championship, he had some experience, which gave him more confidence, so when he first came to the team, he established his own prestige through Fabregas who was about to leave.

“It’s not a good way to do it, it’s even rude, maybe that wasn’t his intention at the time, he was just in a high mood.

“But it had a certain effect in the early stage. No one looked down on him or treated him as a child anymore. Core players and competitors did not dare to exclude him easily.

"After that, everyone knew that he had conquered everyone with his own abilities and brought hope for the championship!

"As this ray of hope grows stronger, he will gradually have the influence to change the team and suppress some conflicts that may erupt.

"First, when four new players arrived, he and Van Persie warmly entertained them at their homes and turned them into players on the same side as themselves, which prevented the old players from ostracizing Arteta and the other four.

"The same thing happened with Kyle Walker, who came to the club partly because of Maher.

"All the new players have integrated into the team very smoothly, and they have found their positions right away and are able to perform immediately. It is hard to say that this has nothing to do with Maher.

"Secondly, at the beginning of the season, as his tactical position became higher and higher, and he was gradually replacing Van Persie as the first core, it stands to reason that Van Persie would be dissatisfied.

"But the latter didn't. On the one hand, Maher didn't give him the opportunity to feel the threat, and he established his core position through a few games.

"By the time Van Persie reacted, Maher had become so strong that he no longer had any chance of overpowering the opponent.

“On the other hand, as he said himself, Maher’s performance was phenomenal. This player did not take away their chances, and he could even create new opportunities for them, so why did they have to fight?

"Van Persie has been at Arsenal for almost eight years and has yet to win the Premier League title. When the hope of winning the title arises, he will of course take the initiative to seek a way to coexist with Maher, and even sacrifice himself for the honor.

"It's the same with everyone else, when the team shows championship competitiveness and becomes a championship contender, they have to put themselves in the right position, otherwise they will be quickly abandoned.

"If we move forward with everyone, we may win the championship happily; if we go against everyone, we will have nothing.

"In general, it is Maher who keeps this team alive with hope. It is difficult for such a team to have cracks from within!

“This is his contribution!”

"."

"Secondly, the team's changing tactical style of play is very obvious, and fans who often watch Arsenal games can feel it.

"Arsenal have had some difficulties this season, they were sometimes controlled and suppressed by their opponents. But in the second half of the season, I think the team played most of the games easily.

"This is because they can already play in a variety of formations such as 4-3-3, 4-4-2, 4-2-4 and even three defenders, and can use tactics such as ball possession, passing, cutting, and long passes with ease.

"It's not uncommon to see various players switching positions during the game. It seems like they always have a way to win the game."

"Wenger is not the best tactician, mind you, just not the best, he is still top but he led Arsenal to play the best and most flexible football."

"."

“To explain this reason, yes, you guessed it right, let’s start with Maher.

"The player has become more and more complete, Wenger has noticed this and has used him appropriately in the team.

"At the beginning of the season, Maher was just a pure winger, but Wenger gradually discovered that he could play well when he retreated to midfield. The player's assist and advancement abilities are very strong.

"Later, Wenger discovered that he could even play as a centre-forward or wing-back.

"Even if he plays as a centre-back, I think that's fine. Just kidding.

“Speaking of players, when you have a top-level player who can play multiple positions, your tactical arrangements will be unpredictable and varied.

"In general, it's still Maher. His huge tactical role gives the team more means! Enough to deal with all kinds of emergencies!"

"."

“Thirdly, the team’s performance was very stable, the players had extremely strong confidence and had hardly suffered any setbacks!
“This point can be linked with the above two points and can be regarded as the final summary.

"It is precisely because of the harmony within the team and the variety of tactical play that they can deal with every opponent more easily. Even if they lose the ball first, they can still fight back through effective tactical adjustments!

"Over time, the team became more stable, the players' confidence grew, and a virtuous circle was achieved, making them extremely dominant!"

“The reason for this is very simple.

"Mael, he brought all of this, and backed it up with 60+ points in a single season, making this high-rise he built with his own hands almost collapse several times but never collapsed!

"He not only played an important role, but also a decisive role. Without him, none of this would have happened!
"When such a perfect team appears in the league, they just need to do their best and wait for their competitors to make mistakes.

"No one can challenge their status. They are truly the top team in the Premier League!"

"."

"I don't want to go into a long rant about how important Maher is to this team, but as they say, happiness is something that is often delayed.

"I just hope that everyone realizes what kind of player he is and what changes he has brought to the team.

"This Arsenal team is more united and stronger than ever before, they have the opportunity to achieve great things!

"More than the upcoming double, more than the Champions League, maybe they will do something special.

"I'm going to say something that may be controversial, the Arsenal team that Maher is in is stronger than any Arsenal team in history!

“Maybe they weren’t at the beginning of the season, or in the middle of the season, but by the end of the season, they showed such competitiveness!
“Whether it’s the single-season goal record that the players have broken, or the single-season assist record that is about to be broken.

“The fact that the team has broken the record for wins and points, and has the chance to create the highest points and wins in league history, all speaks to this point!
"In an era when money is the driving force behind football, when money is used to build strength and honor, they have leveraged the growth and influence of just one player to make the entire team stronger!
"If Mahel really goes far with this team, he will become the most special player in the entire history of football!!"

"."

This report caused a sensation since it was released because it revealed some details that fans were not aware of.

Also because it is very long and has many key points, it makes it easy for many video bloggers to extract some important clips and post them on Twitter and Facebook with text and music.

A ray of hope!

Almighty!

Bring confidence and strength to others!

These key words that once appeared on Mahel were completely tied to him this time and became his labels.

Everyone understands how important he is to this team and even to world football!
More people are attracted to him, and his Twitter and Facebook followers are about to exceed 2500 million respectively!
People are focusing their attention on the player, wanting to see the moment when he truly leads Arsenal to a perfect finish!
In the following week, Maher's life was very regular. He did not pay attention to the comments from the outside world, nor did he pay attention to the major media hyping up the championship game.

He just focused on himself, eating and sleeping as usual, doing what he was supposed to do, and joking with his teammates as before.

"what!"

During training that afternoon, he rolled his eyes in pain as he watched Sagna miss a back-heel pass that went past four players.

"Sagna." He then smiled and looked at Sagna, "Do you know why you don't have as many goals as Koscielny?
“Because your eyes are always squinting, every time you try to push the ball into the far corner, you end up pushing the ball out of bounds.

"You have to change your mindset and aim to hit the ball in the middle, so that you can get the ball into the dead corner."

"Haha!" His words instantly caused laughter from other players, and many assistant coaches also turned their heads away to laugh.

Sagna does have a bit of squint, and he often shoots wide from the far corner, which is a pretty vivid description.

However, this description makes Sagna seem a bit abstract.

"No way?" Sagna was unhappy, stretching out his right hand to scratch the left side of his head, "I just think the success rate of shooting from the far corner is higher."

“No, no, no, this is ingrained in you.” Maher pointed at his hand and smiled, “Look, when you scratch your head, you also like to use your backhand. You always like to move your hands and feet.”

"Haha!" The laughter on the training ground became louder, and their subsequent training was also spent in laughter. The atmosphere in the team was excellent.

Everyone seemed to have forgotten that the championship game was coming and just enjoyed this relaxing afternoon and the wonderful time playing football with their brothers.

For them, they no longer need to take their opponents too seriously. As long as they adjust their condition and play in their best condition, they will have the confidence to win!
After finishing training, Maher returned home for a therapeutic massage.

He added half an hour of meditation time to his training these past two days in order to relax his brain, summarize the past and sort out the future.

The effect of sorting out the future has been good. His goals are very clear and he has a good sense of direction for the road ahead.

After winning the Premier League championship, you must pursue the first lv5 skill, and use this as a starting point to slowly complete the iteration of all skills from lv4 to lv5, so that you can truly become a player of a unique level!

At the same time, we should also check and fill in some small gaps, such as the fancy moves we are currently practicing, and the more diverse shooting and passing abilities that have not yet been practiced.

If he wants to achieve true omnipotence, what he has now is definitely not enough.

At that time, he would try comprehensive training to see if he could develop comprehensive 'shooting' or 'passing' abilities with additional skills to improve his shortcomings.

"Then, it's the European Championship."

He had a look of anticipation on his face, as it was his first intercontinental competition and he was eager to win that extremely important championship.

These are basically his goals for improving his personal strength and pursuing competitive honors in the future, and they are quite clear.

But somehow, Maher's ability to summarize the past during meditation has never been very effective.

Countless important moments, wonderful moments, plus a Championship title and a League Cup title, this is all he has.

A lot, but also very little. Two completely different yet intertwined feelings appeared in his heart, making him feel torn from time to time.

Everything seemed to be urging him to move forward quickly, to get more important honors, to have more, and to get closer to his ultimate goal!
Let’s win the Premier League title first!

In this way, he now owns two of the four crowns under the English professional system, and is not far from the domestic Grand Slam!

At the same time, he is eager to win all the individual awards in these four competitions. He has already done it in the Carabao Cup, but he doesn't know yet about the Premier League.

If he achieves this, he will only be two relatively simple steps away from a domestic Grand Slam!

Now, he is adjusting his condition well and preparing for the championship match on the 28th. He has been eagerly looking forward to the first top league championship in his career!

Since April 4, major English media have been waiting at the London airport, photographing the celebrities who are preparing to come here to watch the championship match.

At noon on April 4, some superstars who had specially arranged commercial performances in London arrived first.

"Oh!"

Amid the cheers of fans, Beckham and NFL superstar Tom Brady appeared here. They walked into the parking lot with their hands in their pockets, got on a special car and headed to the event site.

In the afternoon, F1 driver Hamilton also arrived in London and enthusiastically greeted some fans wearing Arsenal jerseys.

He is also an Arsenal fan. When signing autographs for the fans, he waved and shouted: "Arsenal will win! We will take back the championship!"

After that, people also photographed the agent tycoon Mendes arriving in London, and then Maher's rumored girlfriend Isabella hurried out with a suitcase.

The next day, some other big-name Arsenal fans also arrived in London.

In the sports world, there are George Weah, who has won the Golden Globe and is now a politician in Liberia, British tennis star Murray, long-distance running star Farah, and snooker players such as O'Sullivan.

There were more people from the entertainment industry, including Daisy Ridley, Colin Firth, Jagger of the Rolling Stones, singer Dido, actors Andrew Garfield and Witherspoon.

There are so many celebrity gun fans around the world. These are only the ones who have free time. There are too many people who are too busy to attend.

They all want to be there to accompany the team through this important journey.

On the evening of April 4, a bombshell news appeared on the Internet.

"Queen Elizabeth II will appear at the Emirates Stadium as a fan and watch the championship game with Kroenke! It is rumored that the Queen has long expressed that she is an Arsenal fan." - Daily Mail

Then on April 4, the Washington Post broke the news: "Kim Kardashian, who claims to be an Arsenal fan, will fly to London with her daughter to watch Arsenal's most important game in seven years."

These breaking news and the arrival of celebrities in London have brought the heat of the game to its highest point.

People from all over the world gradually focused their attention on London and the Emirates Stadium, and many outsiders also knew the name of the team's core player 'Mael'.

If it was just a Premier League title, it might not have that kind of influence.

But it’s completely different when Arsenal wins the Premier League again after 7 years!
After experiencing glory around the millennium, the club fell into decline for a long time, but has now returned in its best form.

People all want to witness this moment, witness this fairy tale of football, see if Wenger will cry with joy in the end, and see if supernova Maher will wear the crown.

And when the situation developed to this point, this game gradually became a game that Arsenal could not lose, and could not even draw!
They are carrying too many expectations. They either win the championship when the support is the highest, or experience the pain of losing the championship with regret, even if they still have a great chance.

On the evening of April 4, scalpers were surrounded outside the Emirates Stadium, and tickets were constantly changing hands.

At 9 o'clock, there was news that scalpers had already speculated that the ticket price had reached 7500 pounds. As a result, at 10.30, the highest transaction price had reached 1.2 pounds per ticket, an increase of nearly 100 times.

This is far from the upper limit, and this number will continue to rise due to huge demand until tomorrow's opening.

In the nearby bar street, Arsenal fans almost occupied all the pubs. They started drinking in advance and talked about everything about tomorrow's game.

In Jones's Tavern, Jones, who had not drunk for a rare day, was discussing tomorrow's arrangements with everyone.

"There are 38 banners in total, and 2 blank pages. They are all here."

He stood in front of a thick stack of Oxford cloth, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Since I have queued for so long to help you get the tickets, then you should all follow my arrangements tomorrow and raise one each, okay?

"I've counted, there are 37 of us, the remaining three will be given to the fans nearby to raise."

"What is this?" Someone came up and looked at the stack of Oxford cloth curiously.

"Mael's 38-goal record."

Jones said proudly, raising his eyebrows. "Isn't it creative? As long as we spread out the curtain together, all the players' Premier League goals this season will be displayed on the field like a comic strip."

"Wow." The man looked shocked. "This must cost a lot of money, right? Should we split the bill?"

"No need." Jones looked like a rich man, waving his hand, "I bet alone, he made me win so much, I have to help him win once in the stands!"

"Haha." Many people laughed with emotion. They didn't expect Jones to have such a heart.

"What are the two blank ones?" someone asked curiously.

"It represents a kind of meaning." Jones smiled and said his thoughts, "I hope he can score two goals in this game and complete his 2th goal in a single season.

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. Come up and take one each."

His drinking buddies stepped forward with the banners, and the pub suddenly became a mess, as if some secret ceremony was taking place.

However, they all understand that this kind of surprise requires advance preparation and time and effort.

A young man also took this opportunity to come to Jones' side and stretched out his hand to Jones, "Hello, I'm Alan, I want to ask some questions."

"What?" Jones turned to look at him, shaking his hand and looking him up and down.

"I've heard people talk about your Stud Poker theory, and I agree with it." Allen complimented him first, then got straight to the point, "I want to ask you what you think of the European Cup? Does Maher have hope?"

Jones frowned slowly, thought about it for a moment and shook his head, saying, "I haven't studied this event, and I'm not going to bet on it anymore. It's time to stop. If you keep gambling, you'll lose."

Alan stared at Jones in surprise. Isn't it inappropriate for you to say this?

"I think Maher has a good chance of winning the Golden Boot, and the French team is also very competitive in the championship."

He was not willing to give up and said with an awkward smile: "I checked the odds. If I put 1 pounds in two baskets, I would get 2 times the return."

"Don't tell me that." Jones waved his hand, seemingly not wanting to listen, and asked something else, "Do you want the banner? I remember you also have consecutive tickets."

Alan nodded with a disappointed look on his face, pursed his lips and said, "I want a copy, I will go and see it tomorrow."

"Okay." Jones tossed him a copy. It was still blank and looked ugly compared to the others.

This made Allen even more sad. He looked at Jones's departing back and secretly made up his mind that one day, he would also become such an influential fan of Maher.

For him, there is only one chance, the European Cup which will start in June!
August 4th, competition day.

Everything became tense, and this day was destined to be different.

Maher woke up in the villa in the morning, went downstairs and did a set of recovery training. After finishing, he subconsciously glanced at the proficiency panel.

[Skill: Galloping lv4]

[Proficiency: (987/5000)]

[Skill: Divine Power lv4]

[Proficiency: (512/5000)]

[Skill: Decision Level 4]

[Proficiency: (1592/5000)]

[Skill: Violent Door Blast lv4]

[Proficiency: (1378/2000)]

[Skill: Fancy Breakthrough lv3]

[Proficiency: (748/2000)]

[Additional skills: Fancy skills lv1]

[Proficiency: (1361/1500)]

The improvement speed is about the same as he expected. Fancy skills are just one step away from level 2, and violent shots are closer to level 5.

He also calculated the improvement speed of other skills, mainly to distract his attention and avoid thinking about the upcoming game all the time, which would affect his condition.

In the morning, he ate fried eggs and some vegetables and fruits, and then sat on the sofa to watch videos of previous games.

Two hours later, the doorbell rang.

“Ding ding ding ding!”

Isabella appeared outside the door in an Arsenal jersey. She must have been wearing a pair of super short jeans, but it was not visible under the long clothes. Her lower body was only a pair of slender white legs and white sneakers. She also held a bag in her right hand, which must have been filled with a lot of things, and was bulging.

“Guess what I brought?”

Isabella greeted Maher with a sweet smile, walked over to Maher and smacked his lips before saying, "Everything you need for a men's look! I'm going to try to make the most handsome look for you."

"This is a very important day for you. I see that celebrities from all over the world are here. You must not lose to them in terms of image."

As if she was afraid that Maer would think too much, she added with a little arrogance: "After all, my boy is about to become an international superstar. I am optimistic that you will surpass them in all aspects in the future."

"Ah," Maher glanced at her bag and said subconsciously, "It should be very troublesome. Besides, the competition is so intense. If the wind blows or someone bumps into it, everything will be gone."

“Oh.” Isabella was not discouraged, she came to Maher’s side and said, “It’s okay even if it rains, believe me, ha.

"Go take a shower or wash your hair first, then I'll help you."

Mael couldn't persuade her, so he had to go to the second floor to take a shower. After taking a shower, he came down with wet hair.

"Let's go." Isabella held her bag in one hand, took his hand with the other, and walked towards the bathroom with a smile.

"Buzz buzz buzz!" The sound of a hair dryer was heard, and she started blowing Maher's hair with one hand. The distance between them was only about a fist.

Maher would sometimes lean forward in a playful way and pretend to kiss her face.

Isabella dodged back and forth, and sometimes when she couldn't avoid it, she would put away the hair dryer and hug and kiss Mahel for a while.

"Cluck. Cluck.!"

Her laughter could often be heard in the bathroom. Just by listening to it, you could feel how happy she was at the moment. This made Safina and Harry in the living room look at each other and shrug slightly.

The first try at styling was a failure. Isabella had probably never done hair for boys before, so she made Maher's hairstyle a mess, even weird.

"Haha." This time it was Mael's turn to laugh, while she stood there with a look of self-blame and embarrassment on her face.

"fine."

Maher rubbed her head and comforted her: "It's good this way. I stand out and everyone can see me at a glance."

He didn't blame the other party. Isabella's arrival diverted his attention, which was very important before the game.

This kind of adjustment and relaxation is something he cannot achieve on his own.

Maher quickly went to the shower room to wash his hair again. Isabella did a much better job the second time. The aesthetic sense of people working in the clothing industry must be online.

Finally, after three attempts at adjustment, Mahel walked out of the bathroom under Isabella's expectant gaze and appeared in front of Harry and Safina.

"I think it's great." Harry put his hands on the table and nodded with a smile, "Just don't mess up your clothes when you put them on, and don't let Van Persie and the others mess them up."

"Agree."

Safina also raised her right hand and raised her eyebrows, saying, "You still need to clean up more and let Isabella teach you more or help you more."

Mael turned his head and looked at Isabella, and saw that she bit her thin lips and smiled, with her head held high as if waiting for praise.

He pinched her face and walked towards the living room.

Mendes arrived later. He had met with Maher two days ago, but I heard that he was negotiating contracts with several companies these days.

"You two are here." After meeting, he patted Maher on the shoulder and asked with a smile: "How do you feel now? Are you nervous?"

"No." Mael's attention had been on Isabella and he had no time to be nervous.

"That's good."

Mendes noticed his hair and his eyes moved. He knew it might be Isabella's doing. He stepped back and said happily: "Since coming to London, you have achieved success in both career and love. You are so enviable."

Mael smiled but said nothing. He glanced at Isabella again and found that she was a little embarrassed.

Looking back now, her initial decision to hire him as her spokesperson did seem like an intentional move to get to know him, especially in the eyes of Mendes, who was the first to contact her.

"Too fast, too fast."

Mendes sighed twice, not knowing what he was referring to. He walked to the sofa and sat down, joking with Maher: "Hey, do you know what I was thinking when I signed the bonus contract with Arsenal?"

"Probably know."

"Haha. Do you remember that in your bonus contract at Arsenal, there are bonuses for finishing in the top four and qualifying for the Champions League group stage?"

Mendes couldn't help laughing, showing his white teeth, "I thought at the time that this was a more pragmatic goal, the championship prize was too far away.

"Who would have thought that after winning the Carabao Cup you would be close to winning the Premier League so soon?

"If you succeed this time, you will immediately receive a bonus of £400 million and Puma's basic endorsement fee will rise to £385 million.

"A great harvest! Both in terms of honor and money."

He looked at Maher with admiration, as if he had endless things to say, "Your goal is getting closer, whether it's a Grand Slam or becoming the best active player, these seem to be visible and tangible.

"At least it no longer seems empty."

Mendes suddenly remembered a deep conversation he had with Abramovich and said with a smile: "Of course, you also have a goal, which is to become an immortal legend of this club.

"This goal is just one step away. If you can really lead Arsenal to win the championship without losing and immediately announce your retirement, you will be regarded as an immortal legend by Arsenal fans."

"Ha ha.!"

Maher laughed with him, wondering if Mendes was referring to the fact that it is difficult for active players to receive similar titles.

When a player accomplishes an important achievement, fans may need some time to react and buffer before they realize what it means.

In fact, not only the fans, he himself also needs time, which is normal.

Just do it first, don’t think too much about it. When everything comes naturally, you will definitely get what you deserve!
"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang at this time. Safina went over to open the door and saw Uncle Maher and his family of five appearing outside.

"Brother!" Ava was still the first one to run over. She threw herself on Mael's waist, her eyes twinkling as she opened her arms towards Mael.

Mahel picked her up, walked her around the living room a few times, and kissed her cheek.

"Hehe." Ava was very happy. She noticed Isabella again and reached out to her. She remembered that her beautiful sister always brought her candy.

Mahel sensed that she wanted to go find Isabella, so he put her down and looked at his uncle and aunt with a smile.

The originally deserted living room has become increasingly lively. His relatives and friends have all come over, preparing to gather here and go to the stadium.

They all knew that this was an important moment for him and they would naturally not be absent.

The only regret is that my best friend Gilbert is not here, as he also has a league game to play today.

"Come on, Maher." Aunt Betty came up and shook her fist at him. They didn't seem strange to each other now. "The last time I saw you win the championship was at Sheffield United.

“Hopefully we’ll see you win in London today, that will definitely be a different feeling.”

"Yeah." Clermont came over and squeezed Maher's arm. "The Emirates Stadium is so big. It must be a unique feeling to celebrate with the fans here."

Maher smiled and nodded at them, then asked, "How are we going to get there later? With so many people, we'll need at least three cars."

"Let me make the contact." Mendes has taken charge of this job. They are all watching the game in the box booked by Maher today, so they can go together.

"it is good."

Maher looked at the time and it was already afternoon. He prepared to go upstairs to rest for a while and prepare some things for the competition. "Everyone, take a look around here first. The room is big and has many entertainment facilities.

"I'll go upstairs and get ready. The game will start in more than three hours."

"go quickly!"

"I believe you can do it!"

"Brother is the best!"

A group of people waved at him and cheered him on. Today must be an unusual day.

"According to the latest news from the BBC, it is now 5:30 pm! There are still two hours before the game starts!

"We saw a very shocking scene outside the stadium. On the road where the two teams' buses were passing, Arsenal fans surrounded the place and blocked all passages! They waved their team flags and waited for the protagonists to arrive!
"There were at least 2 people crammed into this street, and their shouts were so loud that we could hear the same situation in the nearby streets!
"I estimate that at least 15 Arsenal fans have come to North London, most of them don't have tickets, but plan to watch the game nearby and accompany the team to win the championship!

"The bus is coming in the distance! We see the Manchester City team logo!

"The police force at the scene was a little insufficient. Manchester City's bus was surrounded by Arsenal fans. Someone set off a red smoke bomb and countless people took out their phones to record the video!"

"Let's listen to the original sound of the scene. Photographer, please turn up the volume of your radio!"

"."

"Come on Arsenal! Come on Arsenal!! Come on Arsenal!!"

Near the car, Arsenal fans were shouting in unison, the sound was majestic and deafening, and the sounds could be heard from nearby blocks.

Manchester City's bus moved at a speed of one meter every few seconds. They arrived at the stadium half an hour in advance and had taken this into consideration. They had anticipated how difficult this road would be.

"Nasri regrets it! Clichy cries! We will win the championship after you leave!"

Mockery became the main theme that followed. After taking the photos, the fans raised their middle fingers and vented their resentment and anger accumulated during the summer transfer window last season towards Nasri and Clichy.

"You have nothing! Mancini will lead you to the abyss! Wenger and Maher will lead us to victory!"

"One Maher! Equals 2 Nasri + 1 Fabregas! A new person has taken up the Gunners' flag!"

"So what if we have money? We are the ones who are going to win the championship!"

"Come on Arsenal!"

This behavior is definitely a bit like adding insult to injury. There are many factors involved in the transfer of players. It doesn't seem very humane to label the transferred players as traitors or enemies.

But the captain is sold every year!

Selling core every year!
Every year, I watch the team leave with future stars that they had focused on training and had high hopes for!
Only Arsenal fans themselves know the grievances in their hearts, and they have been waiting to fight back after the team's revival.

They are unable to abandon their own position and just want to vent, they turn love into hate.

“Ding ding ding ding!”

Soon after, Maher's song was heard in the nearby streets, equally powerful and moving.

Arsenal fans poured all their passion and enthusiasm into the song, with the aim of letting the players who once enjoyed such treatment know that now, they have new pride and new hope!
Moreover, he accomplished a miraculous achievement that all those who left had not accomplished, and led the team to revival!

“I have a friend!!”

On the bus, Nasri happened to be sitting side by side with Clichy. Listening to the singing outside the window, both of them closed their eyes tightly, pretending to rest.

But the chaos and complexity of their emotions still showed on their faces, and no one could remain calm at this time.

They came back here once in the middle of the season, but at that time, they would not have thought that this team would be so close to the Premier League championship at the end of the season!
And it is very likely that we will win the championship trophy after defeating them head-on!
"We can't lose." Nasri whispered to Clichy, "We must not lose."

"I know."

Klich didn't turn his head, still closing his eyes. He paused for a long time and sighed softly, "Will you regret it?"

Nasri suddenly became quiet, even his breathing stopped. After a long time, he chuckled ridiculously, "Is it still useful to say this now? Don't you think it's too childish?"

"That's right." Klichy raised his eyebrows helplessly and laughed at himself.

In the front row, Mancini listened to the sounds outside the window and generously revealed a look of regret.

If we had done better in those lost games, maybe the scene outside the Etihad Stadium at the end of the season would be like it is today.

Unfortunately, opportunities are rare and this season belongs to Arsenal.

"Aaaahh!" The shouts outside the window suddenly increased in volume, and the fans seemed to be attracted by something new.

Many Manchester City players looked back and saw the Arsenal team bus driving in behind the bus amid a feast of fireworks.

“Everything was going Ma-ehl! Ma-ehl!

"Walking in avan Persiewonderland!"

New songs rang out here, and the fans retreated in an orderly manner, making a wide path for the team bus, without making things difficult for the mounted police who were clearing the way.

"The Arsenal bus is coming! The streets are still crazy, but there is obviously less chaos!

"At this rate, they will most likely catch up with the Manchester City bus and arrive at the entrance of the Emirates Stadium with them!

"My report is over. Now please focus your attention on the entrance. There, my partner will give you the entrance commentary later!"

"This is Sky Sports UK! It's great to be with you all today from the Emirates Stadium!"

At the entrance, Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor was holding a microphone, and behind him there were commentators from many other TV stations. Everyone was talking at once, making the place quite noisy, but also very hot.

“We saw that the buses of both teams had already parked on the side and the players were about to get off the buses and enter the field!
"This is definitely the hottest game in the Premier League this season, the enthusiasm of the fans is unimaginable!

"I would love to join them but unfortunately I'm not an Arsenal fan, haha!

"Well, we see Wenger and Mancini have already got off the bus. It is very rare for two teams to enter the stadium together!

"Let's focus on the players and see how they are doing!"

"."

“Aha!”

“F*****!”

Amid polarized treatment, Arsenal players and Manchester City players walked towards the stadium together.

Maher was the third person to get off the bus. He always had a smile on his face. Along the way, he clearly felt the enthusiasm of Arsenal fans and was very much looking forward to the game.

"Mael!"

"I want to score 5 today!"

“We want to see the trophy!”

"come on! Come on!!"

The fans cheered him enthusiastically, and many of them held up their No. 7 jerseys and posters, waiting for his autograph.

He walked over, signed a few autographs, apologized to everyone, and then walked onto the court.

After entering the passage, he somehow felt that someone beside him was slowly slowing down his pace, as if he was intentionally avoiding walking with him.

Maher looked back and saw Nasri's face, and saw the embarrassment and strong calmness on his face.

He didn't care and walked towards the team's locker room. After changing his equipment, he walked into the Emirates Stadium and started warming up.

Looking at the fans gradually taking their seats and the slogan 'Arsenal vs. Manchester City' on the scoreboard, he knew that this might be the day.

The Premier League championship trophy that many players want but cannot get, or even dare not think about, is currently somewhere in the stadium, waiting for them to pick it up!
"Bang bang bang!"

Maher started passing the ball to his teammates as they warmed up. His emotions were almost at their highest point. The air seemed to be filled with exciting gas and the smell of gunpowder.

He knew that countless eyes were focused on the Emirates Stadium and on him.

Those fans who like Arsenal and him are looking forward to them winning the trophy today!

This is the most crucial game of the season, and he will never let everyone leave the court with nothing!

“Dear audience! The 36th round of the Premier League, Arsenal vs. Manchester City, is about to kick off at the stadium!
"The camera lens is constantly rolling, focusing on the superstars who have come to the stadium to watch the game!
"Ah, the first person I saw was David Beckham. Next to him were Prince William and Princess Kate. They were talking about something."

"Queen Elizabeth will be watching the game in a more private box. I wonder if she will come outside to greet everyone after the game starts.

"This is Tom Brady, the greatest quarterback in NFL history!

"This is Dido, a talented British female singer! Standing next to her is Jagger from the Rolling Stones!

"It's a big-name game. The three sports stars that appear in the camera now are very familiar to the British: Farah, Hamilton and Murray."

"Ah, Kim Kardashian, who many fans have been waiting for, appeared in the camera. Is she an Arsenal fan? This remains to be verified, but the people around her are wearing Arsenal jerseys!
"She is dressed very simply today, without any heavy makeup, just like a mother taking her children to watch a game!
"Of course, as we all know, Kim Kardashian's beauty cannot be seen from this angle, so he has to stand up. OK, let's talk about something serious!
"According to media speculation before the game, Real Madrid president Florentino and Barcelona coach Guardiola will appear in the stands to observe the performance of superstar 'Mael'. They should be very interested in the player.

"But even if they were there, we would probably hardly see them in the stands, as these people are not convenient to show up at Arsenal games.

“The players from both teams seemed to be standing in the player tunnel, but because there were so many celebrities present, the broadcast camera was still introducing them.

“Who is this?
“It should be Didier Deschamps, the French national team coach, who will lead the French team to the European Championship in June!

"Today's Arsenal team has many players who are potential members of the French team, including Maher, Sagna, Koscielny and others.

“Sagna was not included in the squad last time, but if the player wins the title with Arsenal, Deschamps will surely notice him!
"Okay, I'm sure everyone already knows how hot the scene is. Now, let's all focus on the competition field and wait for the upcoming battle!"

"Beep!"

“Ding ding ding ding. Ding ding!”

Amidst the entrance music, the players of both teams walked out of the Emirates Stadium, leading their caddies, and came into the humid field.

Maher was the third person in the Arsenal queue. He turned his head to look at the crowded stadium, smiled and waved to the Arsenal fans.

"Aha!!" Amid the cheers, he saw a group of fans in a fan zone who seemed extremely excited and held up the banners in their hands.

There were dozens of banners of various shapes, with pictures of him shooting in Arsenal jerseys of various colors.

He quickly realized that this was the shot he had taken for each of his 38 Premier League goals this season.

A smile appeared on Maher's lips, and his face was somewhat moved. Every game and every goal he had scored along the way flashed before his eyes like slides.

When all the beautiful moments were recalled, he turned his gaze to the grass in front of him and the unprecedented grand Emirates Stadium.

It's time to use a game to sum up this season. His efforts and sacrifices deserve a league championship trophy!
After entering the stadium and completing the final opening ceremony, he walked towards the left winger position and made final preparations.

"Come on Arsenal! Come on Arsenal!! Come on Arsenal!!"

Loud cheers rang out from the stadium, and the fans put all their expectations into these cheers.

Mahel could sense their mood, his breathing becoming heavier and his desire for victory growing.

Even though we are still playing at the Emirates Stadium, the people around us haven’t changed, and the voices of the fans haven’t changed.

But he knew that this must be a completely different game!
The choice is in their hands whether to lift the championship trophy amidst the praises or walk out of the stadium with regret amidst the silence of the audience!
Everything has been pushed to this point, they must strive for the former!
As if remembering something, Maher smiled and waved towards a box area in the A-zone stands, making a heart shape with his hands.

His five family members, five team members, as well as Mendes, Isabella and others were watching from above. He had promised them a heart shape before the game.

"Ah!" A scream rang out, and the Arsenal fans in the stands on the same side thought that Maher was signaling to them.

Only the people in the box above understood, or to be more precise, only Isabella who screamed along with everyone else understood, what Mael meant.

"Clap clap clap!"

On the sidelines, Wenger, who was wearing a black suit today, clapped his hands excitedly and shouted to Maher: "Come on! You can do it! Go and help us win that damn championship trophy! Come on!"

Hans also clapped his hands heavily and shouted with a red face: "In two hours, the people who will be celebrating in the stadium must be Arsenal people! Maher, we all believe in you, don't be nervous!"

Both of them were acting out of character today, seemingly unable to control themselves, which was perfectly normal, as today's match was no less than a decisive battle.

Maher waved at the two of them, then endured the noise around him and focused his attention on the court.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game. The championship battle of the 36th round of the Premier League kicked off at the Emirates Stadium!
