Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 240 Fancy Horse is now online! You can still get a perfect score! Blow a kiss to celebrate!

At Wembley Stadium, players from both teams fought fiercely.

Everyone moved quickly following the team's overall formation, and focused on making decisions and changes according to the ever-changing situation.

"Na na na na na na!"

The fans were still singing "Hey Jude" and the commentators from dozens of countries and regions in the stands were giving their commentaries with saliva flying. Everyone was devoting themselves to football with all their might.

"Cazorla had a chance to hold the ball. His little technique was very clever! He got rid of Fabregas and Mata's attempts to steal the ball and passed it to the right!
"Gervinho dribbled forward at high speed and passed the ball directly to Giroud! David Luiz jumped up and intercepted the ball with his chest. Chelsea had a chance to convert!
"Another long pass! It should be for Torres! Ah, it still couldn't get past Thiago Silva. He got behind Sagna and headed the ball out of the sideline!"

In the commentary booth, after watching the first three minutes pass, Zhan Jun thought for a moment and then explained: "From the start, the two teams, both with many new players, have been running-in very well.

"Their players showed great tactical skills and brought us a pleasing quick transition attack.

"As for the deeper interpretation, I'll leave it to Zhang Lu to guide."

Zhang Lu nodded. He was in charge of tactical analysis and commentary. "Wenger's Arsenal seems to have continued their philosophy of beautiful football, emphasizing fast passing and fast rotation attacks.

"In my opinion, as long as there are good players, their philosophy is timeless and extremely lethal.

"This season they have strengthened their defense, midfield skills, and offensive diversity. I think we can expect them to perform better than last season.

"Of course, for them, the most important question may be only one. That is, what kind of help can others provide to Maher?"

"."

"As for Chelsea, it can be seen that the new Spanish tactician Benítez has worked hard in pre-season training and has built this new Blues team very well.

"The players have a great understanding of each other, they are neither aggressive nor withdrawn, they have shown a good balance of Benítez style, and they can all play to their strengths in this system.

"And judging by the overall formation on the field, they have become more compact compared to last season.

"Especially in defense, everyone is piled up in front and behind the penalty area line, and the distance between the midfield and backcourt players is only about three meters, leaving no space at the top of the arc.

"This will reduce their risk of being penetrated by Arsenal and will also somewhat limit Maher's breakthroughs and kicks."

"."

Benítez's sharp eyes swept through every corner of the formation, and he waved and shouted from time to time to make fine adjustments, "Retreat! Retreat! Mata, you have to hurry up and limit Cazorla!"

As the successor to Di Matteo, who took over from Villas-Boas midway through the season and miraculously won the Champions League and FA Cup, and the coach who spent more than 2 million pounds to strengthen the team in the new season, he is under tremendous pressure.

It can be said that everyone was waiting to laugh at him, waiting to ridicule Abramovich for giving money to a long-time out-of-date coach.

"suffer!"

Benítez suddenly waved his hands towards the Arsenal backcourt, "Bounce out quickly! Quickly! Everyone follow me, a balanced attack will not win, use running to create an advantage!"

He followed the team's offensive line and when he was approaching Wenger's coaching seat, he saw Arteta sliding the ball from behind and knocking it towards the feet of the Arsenal defender.

"thump!"

When the Arsenal defender took control of the ball, Fabregas, who had just been advancing with the ball, fell to the ground, lay on the grass with his hands raised to express his dissatisfaction.

But the referee did not say anything and watched Thiago Silva make a long diagonal pass to Mahel on the wing.

Benítez pursed his lips uncomfortably as if he had eaten a fly. He is a person who does not like to yell, otherwise he would have started greeting the referee at this time.

Returning to his position, he looked at the court with eyes that were sometimes confident and sometimes extremely nervous.

For this decisive championship battle, he did a lot of homework, just to limit Arsenal's offensive space and Maher's common tactics!
He really hopes to use a Community Shield championship as a greeting gift to the fans of his new team!
Judging from the current situation on the field, the game is within the scope of his pre-match deductions and everything is under control. However, he is still a little worried about Maher, who beat all teams in the European Cup.

"Bang bang bang!"

On the court, Maher dribbled the ball towards Ivanovic at a very fast pace, and his dribbling rhythm was very smooth.

He focused intently on the center of gravity under Ivanovic's feet, looking for an opportunity to break through. At the same time, he often turned his head halfway to observe the situation in the penalty area and Ribery who was chasing after him.

He has experienced this scene countless times in his career, dribbling the ball along the sideline and starting a solo explosion.

But he never gets tired of it, always enjoying the satisfaction of breaking through different players in different tactical systems, crushing the opponent's defense, contributing to the team and helping the team win!

After playing for a few minutes, he also felt that the opponent had some targeted arrangements today, and seemed to want to win by using dense and compact defensive positions and transition attacks.

He was familiar with this, and in the later Premier League, every team would make this choice when defending.

Even for big teams like Manchester City and Arsenal, it is the same, otherwise they cannot be defended at all.

As a strong team at this time, Chelsea was able to lower its profile and make such a choice, which is enough to prove that Benítez does have some advanced skills and tactics, and is not bound by convention in making changes.

This did make him feel a bit troubled, as everyone would prefer to find space to break through a loose defense and make a quick one-on-one play that is more entertaining to watch.

But it’s not a big problem!

After the European Cup, the only thing he improved was his fancy skills, his dribbling was from lv3 to lv4, and his additional skills were from lv2 to lv3.

Today, he just took a try on Chelsea players to warm up for the new season!
"Boom!"

When Mahel dribbled the ball to the corner of the penalty area, Ribery had already chased back from behind, blocking his space to break through.

He had no choice but to continue dribbling towards the baseline, deliberately keeping the ball close to Ivanovic in the process, attracting the opponent to steal the ball and then change direction.

But Ivanovich was not fooled. He showed great composure by lowering his center of gravity and standing still.

Benítez must have warned him, or he knew that his reaction could not be as quick as Maher's, and he would definitely be dribbled past as soon as he kicked.

Even if you poke the ball, it is difficult to get through the body and control the ball.

"Shh!"

Maher suddenly pulled the ball behind him, then kicked his heel towards the baseline. After the opponent followed, he continued to pull the ball back with his left foot and repeated the action.

It was a simple pull-back shot, but he did it very quickly, dazzling Ivanovic and Ribery who were defending him, and he was always exposed to the risk and pressure of being broken through.

Soon, Ivanovich's brain was disturbed, and he stepped forward to approach Mahel before his reason and calmness told him what to do.

It is indeed difficult for people to sit still and wait for death under high pressure. The feeling that the opponent may attack at any time and they can only wait will make people feel scared and want to change uncontrollably.

What's more, he had already retreated to the bottom line and had no way to retreat. He couldn't just retreat sideways to the penalty area and let Mahel easily enter the danger zone.

Ivanovic probably knew that this was the best opportunity his previous concentration had created for him, and the decisive battle between him, Ribery and Mahel began.

“Bang, bang!”

Maher did not make any more ineffective pulling movements. He dribbled the ball straight towards Ivanovic who was heading towards him, and the distance between them was rapidly closing.

"Pah pah!" His body center of gravity moved to the right, his right foot also pushed the ball to the right, and then changed direction and slammed the ball to the left within 0.5 seconds.

Oxtail Breakthrough!
Compared to the past, he can now perform this move faster and more skillfully, and can even perform it while changing his center of gravity!
"Ohhhh!" Arsenal fans in the stands stood up early and cheers rang out in Wembley Stadium.

Looking at the graceful figure off the field, all Arsenal fans looked at him with admiration and expectation. They hoped that he could break into the penalty area and break through the opponent's defense.

Off the court, Ivanovic quickly turned and chased towards the baseline where Maher was spiking the ball. He was by no means clumsy, and it was a bit difficult to easily pass him with such a breakthrough move.

"Snapped!"

Before and after Maher got to the ball, he again kicked the ball towards the baseline with his right foot, trying to convey false body language to Ivanovic, that is, he is going to go to the baseline, and you'd better continue to follow him and not slow down.

"Oh!"

But when the football reached the arch of his left foot, he instantly kicked the ball back to complete another change of direction.

Keep coming!
Keep changing!
At the same time, he pushed the ground with his left foot to turn his body, as if he and the football had become one, always staying at a very close distance.

The speed of this whole process is definitely no more than 0.5 seconds. His integration with the ball is getting better and better, and his movements are getting faster and faster, which is also the improvement brought to him by the fancy upgrade!

Ivanovic actually predicted that Maher might turn again, and began to lower his center of gravity and slow down in advance, but when Maher really changed direction, he could only stretch out his foot awkwardly.

too fast!
I really can’t keep up!
This hasty kick naturally did not cause any trouble to Maher. On the contrary, it only delayed him for about a second.

After shaking him off, Maher faced Ribery who had caught up with him. Compared to Ivanovic, the opponent was definitely better at breaking through.

It’s not that he is not a defensive player, it’s mainly because of the shaking just now. Ribery behind him is also following suit. He just needs to go with the flow and maintain his pace and direction.

"Snapped!"

Maher dribbled the ball into the penalty area, avoiding Ribery's kick and completing a perfect one-on-two breakthrough.

"Aaahhh!" The cheers at the scene became louder and almost everyone stood up.

"Reinforce the defense! Reinforce the defense!"

Benítez on the sidelines was anxious, and with a red face he shouted to David Luiz and Terry: "Defend the far corner! He's going to dribble!"

"Oh!"

His judgment was correct. After entering the penalty area, Maher did not plan to make any complicated breakthroughs. He took a step sideways and shot the ball with his right foot.

This is enough to show that he has done a lot of research on Mahel. Now it remains to be seen whether this kind of research under the microscope can allow their team to successfully restrict him.

In the Chelsea penalty area, seeing Maher's kick, Giroud and Van Persie both ran towards the goal, waiting for the opportunity for a second shot.

David Luiz jumped up to block the ball without hesitation, while Terry went to the front of the goal to prevent the goalkeeper from losing his grip.

Under everyone's gaze, the football drew a beautiful arc, passed through David Luiz's waist, and spun towards the far corner of the goal, but eventually touched the outside of the post.

"Clang!" The football brushed the edge of the post and flew straight out of the bottom line.

"Come and shoot! What a pity! Wow, Maher's series of operations can't help but remind people of Ronaldinho, so elegant!"

The broadcast camera was aimed at Maher's back. He hugged his head as he looked at the path of the football. Van Persie and Giroud who rushed to the goal also made synchronized movements.

"Ah!" The regretful cries of the Arsenal fans at the scene were also recorded and broadcast, and audiences around the world realized how close Arsenal was to the lead just now.

"He originally played the strong and fast muscular style, but why did his style become more and more elegant and graceful, and he can also handle delicate work?
"Such a player is very difficult to defend. Anyway, I can't imagine how desperate I would be if I had to stand there and face such a player!"

"Hehe..." Zhang Lu laughed sinisterly, as if he couldn't bear to imagine the scene of Zhan Jun facing Maer's breakthrough. It must be very funny, but also vulnerable.

The broadcast camera turned to Ivanovic and Ribery again, and panic and fear could be seen on their faces. When the camera focused on the faces of other players, it was found that other Chelsea players looked the same.

This was even more true for Benítez on the sidelines. He did not see who made a mistake in this defense, but Maher still created a threat by forcing a breakthrough.

Perhaps, such a player is a superstar who stands out among a group of star players.
"Oh!"

Cech then kicked the ball out of the goal, and the ball changed hands several times before it came to Hazard, who wanted to have a fight with Sagna as he made his debut in the English arena.

The excitement of playing at Wembley Stadium for the first time made the future Burger King Lihua show a strong desire to prove himself. He was very good at kicking the ball and soon made Sagna unable to cope with him.

After coming to Mertesacker, he used his agility to briefly gain the upper hand, but he still made some mistakes in the last step of dribbling the ball, allowing Mertesacker to find an opportunity to block his position.

"Oh oh!" Many Chelsea fans fell back into their seats with expectant looks on their faces. Most of them were not optimistic about this player who did not look strong.

For the next period of time, the two sides went back and forth and refused to give in, vividly demonstrating to everyone why you get what you pay for.

"Oh!"

In the 11th minute of the game, Fabregas took advantage of goalkeeper Lori's mistake in passing the ball, changed the rhythm to dodge Arteta, and passed the ball directly into the penalty area when the fans could not see the ball route from the God's perspective.

The ball passed through the crotch of Mertesacker who came to defend, and rolled into the penalty area between Sagna and Thiago Silva.

"Boom!"

"Oh!"

Torres is very fast on his feet. He rushed out from behind D. Silva and knew he would not have much time to adjust before and after the ball, so he shot directly into the corner with his left foot.

"Snap!" But Thiago Silva caught up faster than he thought, and with a sliding tackle blocked the ball out of the penalty area.

Arteta got the second penalty kick, he passed it to Cazorla after a transition, the latter knocked it back and continued forward.

"Boom."

Arteta passed the ball back again, into Cazorla's running line, and used this two-on-one situation to penetrate Mata.

He had only been working with Cazorla for a short time, but he already felt very comfortable.

The opponent is more gifted and talented than him in attack, but as a Spanish player who has also played in the core position of the organization, he can understand all the intentions of the opponent and provide protection.

After receiving the ball again, Cazorla rushed towards the opponent's defense line at full speed, disrupting the opponent's formation.

"Boom."

The moment Terry chose to move out to defend, he passed the ball straight to Gervinho who was about to get into the open position on the right.

Precise through ball!

Half a single knife!
"Hot Bird hits it straight away! And it's pushed into the far corner! The ball is fast, but the accuracy is way off!

“It seems that Hotbird is just Hotbird. If he also has a good level of finishing ability, then he will be Mahel, Bell!

"What a shame! Everyone has their own strengths!!"

After Zhan Jun's teasing voice fell, Zhang Lu laughed sinisterly again, "Haha!"

The two of them were together and often enjoyed making fun of the players, but they usually didn't go too far.

"That said, the player's contribution to the team is unquestionable. Being able to keep Walcott on the bench means he has his own place in Wenger's tactical system."

"That's right. Arsenal's offense can rely on Mahre, Giroud, Van Persie and Cazorla. Gervinho can be more of a sweeping wide midfielder."

"What is this? A strong left side with overflowing offensive power, and a stupid engineer-type right side!"

"hey-hey.!"

The game continued to move forward. In the 29th minute, Arteta intercepted David Luiz's forward pass and passed it to Kyle Walker on the wing, who went straight to find the winger.

Maher and Ivanovic ran towards the landing point of the football together. He deliberately did not run too fast and kept Ivanovic close behind him.

When the football was about to reach his feet, he suddenly turned sideways and placed the outside of his right foot on the rolling path of the football.

"Snap!" The football touched the outside of his instep and slid up along the curve of his instep along his calf.

Maher's calf suddenly hooked back and hooked the ball into the sky more than two meters high, while carrying the forward momentum in the direction of attack.

One-touch lob!

After completing this, he did not stop, but nimbly dodged Ivanovich and accelerated behind him.

After running past Maher, Ivanovic was dumbfounded when he looked at the football above his head. He had never felt so powerless about any high ball, and he never thought that Maher would break through like this.

“Bang!”

By the time he turned around, the football had already fallen at Maher's feet, and he dribbled it hard towards their backcourt.

"Wow!" The Arsenal fans next to him stood up with their hands raised, looking at Maher's back with excitement, while some stared at him with mocking smiles.

Ivanovic felt a sense of humiliation. If he lost this game, he even wanted to leave the Premier League to escape from such a left winger.

"Bang!!"

Near the sideline, Maher's left foot reached the middle bottom of the football and made a cross with great speed and arc, accurately heading in the direction of Giroud.

Giroud jumped up and pressed on David Luiz, then swung the ball towards the right side of his forehead, trying to hit it into the far corner.

"Snapped!"

But he didn't see that Cech was in the far corner and had no time to catch up. The ball was finally hit to the ground by his two hands, and then he used his quick second reaction to hold the ball in his arms.

"Good job, captain! Mine!" Giroud gave Maher a thumbs up after landing, and then spit as usual.

Maher felt regretful, but no one blamed him and he just started running again.

"Oh!"

Nine minutes later, Ribery made a wonderful arc from the Arsenal backcourt and found Fabregas who was advancing to the flank, and the latter swept across the goal.

Danger!

After Cech made the save, Lori immediately returned the favor. He dived in front of Torres and hugged the ball in his arms.

"Ah!" Fans of both sides exclaimed, some of them were upset and some were relieved.

Wenger folded his arms on the sidelines. He looked at his watch and found that the game was about to enter halftime, so he observed the bench to see if there was any good opportunity to make a change.

"Aahhh" At this moment, faint cheers came from all directions, gathering together and turning into a low shout.

Wenger suddenly turned around and saw Maher once again dribbling the ball towards the opponent's backcourt to launch a counterattack.

Unlike in the past, this time he had a huge space to start and was able to accelerate to the best condition, while Chelsea's midfield and backcourt defense seemed very loose because they had just participated in the attack.

It might be an opportunity. Wenger's eyes showed some anticipation, and then he saw Maher and Ivanovic fighting again.

"Oh!"

He suddenly changed his strategy and dribbled the ball to the middle, seizing the fleeting opportunity to cut inside, then dodged Ribery's sliding tackle and went straight to the two central defenders and Fabregas who had returned.

In fact, when Fabregas appeared in front of him, he had already been dodged by one of his spikes, so there was no possibility of him stealing the ball anymore, it just looked like he was very close.

In just a moment, the three people were left behind by his super-powerful changes in rhythm and direction!

Passed three people in a row!

The performance did not stop. Due to Maher's fast speed, the two central defenders had to rush out to grab the ball in panic and were unable to retreat or delay.

"Bang!" Maher deftly pushed the ball past David Luiz, then caught up with the ball with his explosive power, dribbled the ball behind Terry, and then dodged to chase the ball.

The ball is passed between the player and the player in the penalty area!

“The more skilled you are, the bolder you are!!
"The strength of the touch was just right. Terry couldn't get the ball with his foot, and Maher broke through five defenders in a row! This is a good opportunity to change the situation!"

In the penalty area, Maher could hear the cheers of Arsenal fans almost reaching their climax as they waited for the final moment.

He came behind Terry, dribbled the ball, and shot with his right foot towards the far corner.

"Snapped!"

Somehow, he felt that he had kicked something very hard, and then a huge force rushed to his supporting foot, causing him to fall to the ground uncontrollably.

It was not until he lay on the ground that he saw Terry, who was facing the referee with his hands raised with a helpless look on his face.

The opponent committed a foul!
"Screw you!"

Giroud had just arrived and had the temperament of a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger. He rushed over and pushed Terry in dissatisfaction, dissatisfied with the fact that Terry used a foul to ruin his captain's wonderful goal that involved multiple players.

Terry knew he was in the wrong and did not fight with him, but in a London derby, who would be afraid of conflict?

"Keep your mouth clean!"

“Stay humble!!”

Fabregas, Ribery and others were already very unhappy with Giroud, and they took advantage of the situation to provoke a fight with Giroud. Several of them fell to the ground together, and the scene was in chaos.

"Beep——!!"

The referee ignored them for the time being. Instead, he pointed to the penalty spot, took out the yellow card and showed it to Terry, then walked to the scene of the conflict holding the card.

Yellow dot set meal!

After getting up from the ground, Maher felt that there was nothing serious, but he obviously did not understand the penalty.

He rushed to the referee, raised his hands beside the opponent and shouted: "The last defensive player besides the goalkeeper, shouldn't such a foul be given a red card?!"

The referee was startled by him, and a thoughtful look briefly appeared on his face, but he quickly shook his head, "David Luiz and Fabregas both had opportunities to chase back, so they are not the last one!"

"Ha" Maerton felt it was ridiculous and spread his hands and said, "You want me to have a race with them to see who is faster?" The referee had no intention of talking to him and was unwilling to even look him in the eye.

Realizing that the penalty could not be changed, he could only swallow his anger and turn around to run to support his teammates!

He came to the scene of the conflict and pulled Giroud up from the ground. Seeing Scarface Ribery still trying to rush over, he suddenly became furious. This was a fight to the death.

With disgust on his face, he fiercely butted his forehead against Ribery's, "What do you want to do? Do you think you are still in the French team for 10 years and can bully French players at will?!"

Ribery also came up and started to argue with him, "Get out of here, you little brat, what qualifications do you have to yell at me here?"

“Haha.” Maher pushed forward with all his strength, almost throwing Ribery to the ground. “Play well in England, otherwise if your value drops further to 3500 million, you will only have a fraction of my money.”

Since the other party was using offensive remarks against him regardless of anything, he would naturally choose words that were more damaging.

Ribery gritted his teeth viciously, glared at Mahel and walked slowly forward.

Terry and a few others immediately came over to pull him. It would have been fine if they hadn't pulled him. Once they pulled him, he kept jumping forward and looked like he wanted to break free. He kept muttering, "Keep being so complacent, kid! You￥&**#!"

The referee arrived at this time. Because there were too many people involved in the conflict, he had to give a yellow card to Giroud and Fabregas, who started the conflict, and only gave verbal warnings to the others.

"You" Ribery wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly he felt relieved, and Terry and others stopped pulling him.

He quickly pulled himself back before Mael turned his head, and except for quietly waving his hands toward the sky, he didn't utter another word, and suddenly seemed to have become obedient.

On the penalty area line, Van Persie held the ball, thought for a moment and turned back to look at Maher, "Such a wonderful breakthrough, you take the penalty. As long as it goes in, that breakthrough will be remembered by people."

"Okay, thanks." Maher did not refuse. He touched the back of Van Persie's head gratefully, took the football and walked to the penalty spot.

Before getting ready, he turned around and looked at Van Persie, "No matter what, that breakthrough will be remembered."

Van Persie smiled, then quickly put his index finger to his mouth, signaling Maher not to say that, this ball will definitely go in.

Maher smiled slightly, put the ball on the penalty spot, lowered his head and took a few deep breaths.

He really wants to play in the Community Shield, and his desire for this championship is much higher than that of ordinary fans.

Therefore, he must seize this opportunity to take the lead!

Looking up at Cech, he felt a few tricky feelings in his heart, as if he had experienced the feeling of Ronaldo in the 08 Champions League final.

Petr Cech was so big that he stood on the goal line with his arms outstretched, and it felt like the entire goal belonged to him.

And unlike other goalkeepers who like to jump around, the other one stood still and just stared at him with sharp eyes, as if judging the direction of the shot through his micro-expressions.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle, and Maher took one last deep breath before shooting, "Huh!"

Then, he held his breath and walked towards the football, constantly observing Cech's body movements.

What made him feel uneasy was that the opponent didn't move at all and kept observing. This made him feel troubled when he originally planned to choose the shooting direction according to the opponent's movements.

But I had already started running and there was no way to stop, so I tried pushing it to the lower left corner.

"Oh!"

Maher pushed the ball to the bottom center of the ball with his right foot and hit the ball towards the lower left corner of the goal. After completing the shot, he looked up and found in despair that Cech was diving in that direction.

"Bang!" The opponent's hands quickly hit the football and saved the ball from going out of the goal.

At this moment, Cech's body is so tall and strong, so invincible, like an AI robot goalkeeper who always makes the right judgment.

"Bang!!"

"Yeahhh!"

As David Luiz followed up and cleared the ball out of the sideline, Chelsea fans stood up and cheered. Maher closed his eyes uncomfortably and put his hands on his waist.

At once, many thoughts flashed through his mind. He should have hit the middle lane, he should have made a feint to the east and attacked the other side, he should have decided long ago to attack one side firmly.

Even though most penalty takers will miss at some point in their careers, and he is not really a penalty taker, missing a penalty is nothing.

However, as he had not felt frustrated on the court for a long time, he inevitably fell into sadness and self-blame for a short time.

It was a penalty he created himself, so he didn't have to feel sorry for anyone. However, Van Persie gave up the penalty but didn't score, which inevitably betrayed the trust of his good partner.

"Come on!"

Ribery and Fabregas ran past him roaring. They ran to help Cech up, actually to put some eye drops on him.

“Mael!

"A shout was heard at this time, he turned around and saw Van Persie smiling at him," In fact, you are right, even if it doesn't go in, that breakthrough will be remembered.

"An imperfect ending may affect the process in most cases, but not this time."

There was no other expression on the other person's face, and he even deliberately revealed a sense of relief.

Maher gave a dry laugh, waved at him, and walked towards his seat.

"Cech saved Chelsea! His success rate in saving penalties is too high. It will be troublesome for any penalty taker to meet him."

In the broadcast studio, Zhan Jun's voice rang out: "What a pity for such a wonderful continuous breakthrough! We can notice that Maher's face looks very ugly, which is really not right for him.

"But this is also something that every top striker will go through. He must adjust his mentality, stand up, overcome setbacks and keep moving forward!!"

"."

In the last period of the first half, Maher's performance was mediocre. After the half-time whistle, he was the first to turn around and walk towards the player tunnel.

During the process, he clapped hands with Wenger but did not speak.

"Chucky!"

He felt that he should calm down, so he went to the bathroom and waited until his face was no longer hot before flushing it with ice water, which he did several times.

After standing up, he looked at himself in the mirror for a long time. He couldn't let this kind of negative emotion affect him anymore. It was just that his legs were not in good shape. It was inevitable to encounter this kind of situation after playing too many games. He had to cheer up!

The Community Shield trophy was right outside. It was a beautiful round shield. He had thought countless times about how he would hold it up with his hands. If he wanted it, he might as well keep going!
In addition to remembering to practice his overall shooting skills, he has to forget about that penalty, just like forgetting the negative comments and doubts along the way!
He walked towards the door with powerful steps, hoping to bring himself inner strength through the strength of his body.

When he reached the door, he saw Mr. Wenger, who seemed to have arrived a long time ago but had been waiting here. The other party smiled as soon as he saw him.

Maher smiled at the other person knowingly and felt much better.

"Leon." Wenger called him, took out a cigarette and walked to the toilet and whispered: "Your performance in the first half was unique. Sky Sports scored 8.6. In fact, you still have the possibility of handing in a perfect answer sheet."

Maher paused where he was, without turning around, but just looking back.

"Beep!"

“The second half of the match had already started and Arsenal sent the ball through the centre circle.

"From the first half, the strength of the two teams was relatively similar, with Arsenal having a 5.5% advantage, and Maher created a lot of opportunities through his personal ability.

“But maybe it was just a lack of luck, the two teams fired 11 shots together, 5 shots in the penalty area, but none of them scored!

"Let's see if they can improve in the second half after the adjustments!"

"."

"Bang!" In the 51st minute of the game, Thiago Silva's hard foot touched the bottom of the football and hit the ball to the right front side.

Gervinho unloaded the ball well and passed it to Cazorla who came over to receive it. The latter opened his body and faced the middle.

The two center forwards Giroud and Van Persie quickly approached, one sticking to the full-back and the other sticking to the right center back Terry, forming a local offensive numerical advantage.

At the same time, force the opponent to move towards this side as a whole, and see if they will leave any gaps when they move as a whole.

Cazorla initially wanted to pass the ball to the two of them to act as a wall, but when he saw Maher on the other side break into the middle and hold off David Luiz, his eyes flashed with a strong desire to hold the ball.

"Oh!"

For some unknown reason, he suddenly wanted to pass the ball to Mahel who was not in a good position.

The football rolled along the ground towards the Chelsea penalty area line. Maher stuck closely to David Luiz, who moved back and forth looking for an opportunity to get around and block the position.

This was definitely not a good opportunity. Even Terry, who was supposed to defend behind David Luiz, ran slowly behind him, and Mata, who was chasing back, was not very fast either.

Just like that, the football slowly rolled to Maher's feet, and everyone was waiting for his next move.

"Snapped!"

The focus of vision is that Maher suddenly changes his body rhythm, jumps up with a small hop, knocks the ball with the back of his right heel, then turns forward and pushes the ground with his center of gravity forward.

The football suddenly changed direction and before David Luiz could make any judgment, it slipped through his crotch and into the penalty area.

Crotch-wearing is awesome!

David Luiz tightened his crotch but realized it was too late. When he was about to chase back, he saw Maher speeding up from his side.

The situation was opened up in this way. Since no one expected that Maher could suddenly touch the ball through his crotch with his heel, he was bound to get a one-on-one chance when he broke into the penalty area.

"Oh!!" Arsenal fans stood up again. Even though Maher's footwork was not smooth in the first half, they were still willing to believe in last season's striker.

Most of Chelsea's fans stared at the penalty area in a daze. They couldn't understand why the seemingly dense defense line was so vulnerable.

"Chance.!!"

Zhan Jun in the broadcast studio didn't say much, just screamed the most indirect commentary: "A great chance to score!!"

On the penalty area line, Maher and David Luiz, who had just half turned, were like a college student racing against an elementary school student. He easily overtook him and got the ball.

In order to avoid being predicted by Cech, he chose a shooting method that did not require any adjustments and had the least forward sway.

"Bang!!"

Maher kicked the football with the outside of his right foot and hit the ball towards the far corner of the goal.

Although Cech rushed over there quickly, this time, with extra reaction time, he obviously couldn't keep up with the speed of the football.

"Swish!" The football hit the left side of the net and rolled into the net, causing the Chelsea fans behind the net to wave their hands in anger and many people to give the middle finger.

"Yeahhh!!" The Arsenal fans who stood up and cheered in support every time the team attacked, at this moment burst into a more deafening sound than ever before.

The ball went in!
One to zero!

Arsenal lead in Community Shield final!

Maher spread his arms and ran towards the stands, every pore of his body opened rapidly and his hair seemed to stand up.

Listening to this long-lost voice, he chose to meet Arsenal fans in the new season in a familiar way.

He slid down the grass and knelt down, using his hands as if they were twin guns, and he kept shaking while shouting, "BoomBoomBoom!!"

Jumping up from the ground, he flew sideways and kicked towards the corner flagpole, swinging his right hand forward with trembling hands, "Come on!"

“This time it goes in!! Arsenal takes the lead! It still depends on Maher!!

"After missing the penalty, he redeemed himself with a smart, spirit-like goal to give the team the lead!!
"This new team with many new players, the red and white battleship that has just set sail, has the opportunity to start the new season with a championship at Wembley Stadium!"

"."

"Yes!"

"Mael, oh ho!"

"Was it a crotch shot? Or was it a man-ball shot? How did you do it?!"

Van Persie, Giroud and others quickly ran over, jumped and hugged him, with joy on their faces. This was the club's first goal of the new season.

"It's through the crotch."

Maher smiled and high-fived them, feeling much happier. He then saw Cazorla, who assisted him, coming over with a bright smile on his face. It seemed that he was always like this, facing everything with a smile.

"What a great shot! I never thought that shot would help me get an assist."

Cazorla was still in great shape at this time. He high-fived Mahel and said: "Congratulations to each other. Your first goal of the new season, my first assist of the new season."

“Haha.” Maher was amused by his words and hugged his neck. “We should congratulate each other. I hope this is a good start. Phew!”

In front of Chelsea's goal, the players looked at each other in a daze. How could they have conceded a goal?
Of course, they often have this kind of emotion, but it didn't last long. Soon someone took the ball to the center circle to serve.

In comparison, Ribery and Fabregas, who were upset just after Maher missed the penalty, were more upset. They deliberately avoided the direction of Maher's celebration and did not want to make contact with him.

Unexpectedly, Maher made a detour when he ran back to his own half, came in front of the two of them, and deliberately clenched his fist and shouted: "Come on! Come on!"

The two men looked a little unnatural. They tried their best to suppress their emotions to avoid being edited into emoticons after the game.

On the sidelines, next to the gloomy Benítez, was Wenger, who was laughing and clapping. The old professor quickly returned to the bench and asked Hans, "What's the Sky Sports rating? Is it above 9?"

"It's 9.2 now," Hans replied, holding the meter in his hands. "I wonder if it will go down later."

"probably not."

Wenger turned and looked at the court. He understood Maher's character. "Now that he has started, he will not stop. He will pursue a perfect score, a perfect score that is not perfect but impressive."

"Beep!"

After the second kick-off, seeing that Benítez had no intention of making any substitutions, Zhan Jun asked in confusion: "There are still many options on the bench, including Oscar from Brazil. Will Benítez not make a substitution?"

Zhang Lu quickly took over the conversation and explained, "In fact, their lineup itself is very competitive, it looks like a 4-2-4, or even 4-6 offensive formation.

“At the beginning of the game, I thought that if we played like this, the chances of not conceding a goal in the first half were slim, but there was also a great chance of scoring a goal.

“When the game ended 0-0, I was still sighing in my heart that both teams had good luck in defense in the first half, but were average in offense.

"So I think it's better to keep it the same. They have a lot of offensive strength but they also need to pay attention to defending and not let Arsenal score again. Falling behind by two goals will be a big blow to morale."

"."

"Beep!"

In the 63rd minute of the game, when Chelsea was attacking fiercely, midfielder Mata suddenly fell to the ground holding his legs.

The team doctor came in quickly and found after examination that he could no longer continue the game.

Brazilian teenager Oscar soon stood on the sidelines and made his European league debut. With his young face, he looked thinner than others.

But considering his net worth, no one would think that he has nothing.

"Beep!"

The game started again, Chelsea wanted to maintain the pressure and counterattack, but gradually became unable to do so due to the interruption of rhythm.

"Oh!"

In the 67th minute of the game, Maher chased back to the heart of his own half and completed a head-on steal on Fabregas. He then passed the ball to Gervinho on the other side.

He is definitely not a top star, but he is particularly useful in Wenger's system.

If Bale's transfer ultimately fails to materialize, it is very likely that he will remain the main player here.

"Boom!"

After passing the ball, Maher lowered his head and stretched his legs, rushing towards the opponent's backcourt, constantly passing Chelsea's chasing players along the way.

His rhythm was completely different from everyone else's. At this moment, he was running at full speed without the ball, just like a top track and field athlete who accidentally entered the football field.

"Fuck!" Fabregas cursed behind him and turned around to chase without giving up.

“Bang, bang!”

On the right side, Gervinho dribbled the ball forward and saw Giroud and Van Persie in position before making a cross. Naturally, he also wanted to get an assist himself to deepen Wenger's favor.

But after passing the ball, he hunched over and lowered his body. The force of the ball seemed a little light and it would fall to the front point.

He looked at the penalty area with a nervous expression, and saw Giroud running to the front point. He immediately lowered his body and pushed the ball backwards in an extremely difficult posture. As soon as he completed the action, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Boom!"

Maher had already rushed out of the penalty area at this time. He gritted his teeth and wanted to accelerate again to catch up with this attack.

He seemed to be able to smell that something very attractive was waiting for him in front of him!

"Bang!!"

In the middle, it was Van Persie's turn to jump high and head the ball. He was well prepared in this attack. After jumping up, he surpassed Terry and also hit a high-quality header.

The football quickly passed Cech's hands and whizzed towards the goal, but it was getting higher and higher and it looked like something serious was about to happen.

"Clang!" The sound of iron hitting the target rang out for the second time, and countless Arsenal fans and players bent over and hugged their heads.

"Still not in! Oops, this is the second time Arsenal has hit the goal frame in this game! Once on the post and once on the crossbar! So unlucky!!"

"suffer?!"

But then, as the commentators' voices changed, the Arsenal fans and players who saw something also changed their expressions at the speed of light, and they quickly pushed off the ground and jumped up with their hands raised high.

"Bang!!"

This time, Maher appeared in the right position. He dived to head the ball that bounced back into the penalty area and smashed himself and the ball into the goal.

Follow-up shot!

Two to zero!
Scored twice!

"WowWow!!" Wembley Stadium was in an uproar. More than 40,000 Arsenal fans and more than 10,000 neutral fans cheered and applauded for their efficient counterattack.

"It's scored again this time! It's a header! After three consecutive headers, Maher finally got the ball into the net!! Scoring twice! This seems to be his normal routine!

“Two to zero lead! It happened at this point! The challenge for Chelsea to win is getting bigger and bigger!
"We saw that Wenger, in addition to celebrating, also called in defensive midfielder Gilbert. This player who registered with the Arsenal first team two years ago is finally going to make his first-team debut!"

"."

On the field, after Mahel climbed out of the goal, Cech was sitting next to him, and Fabregas and Ribery just chased back to the penalty spot.

But this time he was too lazy to even sneer. He just smiled contemptuously, then spread his arms and ran towards the edge of Wembley Stadium to celebrate.

He has scored 2 goals in his 5nd visit to this stadium!
I hope that when he retires, he can also leave a goal record for club players in this stadium.

“Oh!!”

Maher ran towards the direction of the sunlight, which made him look like he was shining with a concrete and brilliant light, reminding people of some strikers and superstars who have left the football world.

"A Ronaldinho with headers and long-range shots, and super self-discipline!"

"No, I think he's like Ronaldo, or rather, Ronaldo is like him. Yes, except for Ronaldo, no one is close to him at this age, there is a huge gap."

"Why do I feel that there is still a gap between Ronaldo and him?"

“The new season is worth looking forward to!”

"."

Amid cheers and discussions, Maher came to the sidelines, clasped his hands together in front of his chest, closed his eyes and made a "Rest in Peace" celebration.

Then he squatted on the ground, smiled and blew a kiss to an old lady in Chelsea.

Without saying a word, the other party waved his hands and gave a simple middle finger gesture.

He didn't care, but just remembered what Wenger said, yes, it doesn't matter if it hits the crossbar or misses a penalty, he still has the possibility of getting a perfect score!

The Community Shield championship is very close to him, maybe just in 30 minutes!
