Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 255 The focus of the battle at the end of October? Move forward with goals! The pressure of the Avengers!

"First: Arsenal, 16 points, second: Chelsea, 16 points, third: Manchester United, 14 points, fourth: Manchester City, 13 points." - Premier League standings after 6 rounds
At this point, the first six rounds of the Premier League have all ended, and the teams qualified to compete for the championship this season have also emerged.

Among them, Arsenal, which has remained unbeaten for 44 consecutive games, seems to have gradually felt the competitive pressure from Chelsea, which has also remained unbeaten in the Premier League this season.

On social media, well-known commentator Lineker posted a video commenting on the latest standings.

“I believe that seeing Arsenal’s hot form at the beginning of this season, many fans felt that they would quickly pull away from the teams behind them and easily win the final Premier League title.

"But Chelsea also told everyone with their 5 wins and 1 draw that it's a dream to easily shake them off!
"It's understandable, Chelsea was the team that invested the most in transfers last summer, and they brought in many top players.

“Even though they failed to beat Arsenal, who had basically the same structure as last season, in the Community Shield final at the beginning of the season, they quickly adjusted and played an excellent performance.

"This also shows from the side that the competitiveness of the Premier League is indeed very strong. No matter how good you are, you can never avoid the pressure of competition."

Lineker in the picture shrugged helplessly, "The September schedule is over, and the teams will enter the October journey, and the competition will enter a white-hot stage.

"It is worth noting that at the end of October, Arsenal will face Chelsea in a decisive battle. This game may be a good opportunity for the two sides to widen the gap.

“This is an undisputed 6-point battle, which is likely to determine the half-time champion!

"As for the third and fourth teams in the standings, I don't want to make any comments for now. They still need to do better and increase their chances of getting three points."

His comments touched the hearts of many fans.

Many people were secretly amazed and felt that the entire Premier League was developing in a positive direction, becoming more and more competitive and more interesting.

They also focused their attention on the key match between Arsenal and Chelsea at home on October 10, and looked forward to the match coming soon.

On October 10, the Emirates Stadium hosted the first home Champions League match of the season.

Their opponent in this game is Olympiacos, a top team in the Greek Super League.

Many fans probably first got to know this team through their devilish home field that has defeated countless European football giants.

This team was also Arsenal's opponent in the Champions League group stage last season. It is a coincidence that they meet again in the group stage this season.

"Beep!"

The game officially started at 3: in the evening. If Arsenal can get all points in this game, it can be said that their prospects of qualifying for the Champions League group stage will be brighter.

Like last season, it is very likely that we will qualify after playing 3-4 games.

"Dear audience, I also want to tell you a good news here. Koscielny, who was injured in the European Cup in July, officially returned from injury in this game and started the game.

"Today's Arsenal made three personnel changes compared to the last Premier League game.

"One is the goalkeeper position, Szczesny replaced Lori and came to the starting position.

"I remember many people said before that he is very capable. It is impossible for him to sit on the bench after Lori comes. The two of them should compete for the position, and whoever is in better condition will be used!

"The second is the right-back position, where Portuguese full-back Joao Pereira replaced Sagna and made his Champions League debut for Arsenal.

"The third one is Koscielny, who I just mentioned. Wenger chose to pair him with Thiago Silva to see the effect."

"."

"This time the chance! Maher's penetrating ball found Bale on the right! Ah, the defenders of Olympiacos still seem a little weak in front of Bale, and it's a one-on-one shot!

"Push shot! Bottom left corner! Beautiful! The ball goes in!! Bale scored his first goal for Arsenal!!

"He faced a lot of doubts because he failed to score or assist against Manchester City in the last game, but now he has declared his return as a king in the Champions League!"

At the Emirates Stadium, it could be noticed that Maher, Van Persie and others rushed towards Bale with great joy.

This is the first goal scored by the new member of their new combination. It may symbolize that the goal-scoring machine composed of three people has officially started to work, which is certainly worth celebrating!

"Mael and Van Persie slid out with Bale on their knees! It was as if they had scored a goal! I think we can look forward to their subsequent cooperation!"

"."

“It was Maher’s breakthrough again this time, and four players came over to defend him!
"Olympiacos used a very pragmatic three-defensive midfielder formation today, also known as the Christmas tree formation. I think this was done with the intention of letting the defensive midfielder assist in wing defense.

"But it was still impossible to stop it! Maher's breakthrough cross! The spot was very accurate. The ball went in again! It seemed to be Joao Pereira who came in from behind!!

"It was him, the broadcast camera was focused on him, he looked extremely excited!
"As a player worth less than 10 million, he is a bit out of place in this team, but he has also proved with his goals that as long as the team needs him, he can also contribute to the team!
"Two to zero! Maher assisted and scored twice! After a dull draw, Arsenal announced to the world of football that they are still the team that can win with overwhelming force!"

"."

"Greco passed the ball to Mitroglu, who shot it in! A world wave! Olympiacos pulled one back!
“Both sides really went back and forth, contributing to a wonderful and high-quality game for everyone!”

"."

"Bale! He went down the field to prepare a cross, aiming in the direction of Maher. Is he preparing to return the favor?!
"A low shot down the middle! Manolas predicted the sliding tackle, Maher did not shoot immediately, but stopped the ball to prepare for action!

"Shake. Shoot! Unparalleled outside of the foot! In the 70th minute of the game, Maher ended the game with a shot from the outside of his foot!

"The broadcast camera just captured that Podolski was already warming up. He should have been substituted, but at the last moment, he scored his third goal of the Champions League this season!"

"."

On the field, Maher strolled to the sidelines, smiling and looking back at his teammates who followed him to celebrate.

After turning his head, he raised his chin towards the camera on the sidelines and blew a nearly perfect bubble with the gum in his mouth, and kept blowing until the bubble burst.

When he was done, he laughed and crossed his arms under his armpits in a classic Ninja Turtles celebration.

"Click, click, click!" Reporters at the scene quickly took photos, recording his high-spirited appearance, and uploaded them to the covers of major reports after the game.

"1 goal, 2 assists! Maher has scored 3 goals and 3 assists in the new Champions League season! He is currently ranked second in the scorer list and first in the assist list!" - French "L'Equipe"

"Arsenal beat Olympiacos 6- and got their sixth point in the Champions League! Bale scored twice, Maher and Joao Pereira scored, and Podolski came off the bench to pass and score!" - BBC Champions League report

"Are they sure to make the top 16? Arsenal's Group B is in chaos, and they are already three points ahead! Can they break the long-standing curse of the top 3 in the Champions League this year?" - French Football

Three days later, on October 3, the seventh round of the Premier League kicked off at the home ground of Norwich Canaries.

Before the game, Maher learned that he would only have half the playing time, so he cherished every opportunity to touch the ball and shoot.

"Oh!"

In the 12th minute of the game, Bale, who had performed well in the previous game, received a pass from Gilbert, who started today, and drove straight in, showing his hot form and sharp offensive ability.

"Bang!!"

He broke through Norwich's right defense, and although his cross near the corner of the small penalty area was accidentally missed, thanks to his powerful force, the ball flew into the goal by accident.

One to zero!

Dramatic goal!
"Ha ha.!"

While celebrating, every Arsenal player laughed, even Bale looked like he was trying to hold back his laughter. He didn't expect that his first Premier League goal would come so miraculously.

Five minutes later, Van Persie, who scored over 5 points last season, began to exert his strength. He leaned on Norwich defender Bassong and suddenly kicked the ball back with his heel.

The football somehow flew into the Norwich penalty area, catching everyone off guard. "Bang!!"

On the left side, Maher followed up without any stopping or hesitation. He just took off his stance, drew his bow and arrow, and shot the ball towards the goal.

Whether from the touch of the shot or the action of the shot, this kick is extremely comfortable.

"Swish!" It was no surprise that the ball went comfortably into the far corner of the goal.

Two to zero!
Another easy kill!

"Boom!"

After scoring the goal, Maher celebrated by sliding on his knees and screaming loudly to release his emotions.

Premier League 11rd goal!
If we add the three assists he had previously, his efficiency this season is much higher than the same period last season.

This makes sense, otherwise there would be no need for him to improve his abilities.

When the other two lv5 skills come out, I believe his data in the second half of this season will be significantly improved compared to the first half!

“Bang. Bang. Bang!!”

In the 29th minute of the game, Maher took advantage of the opponent's carelessness in double-teaming him, and after a series of juggling moves, he suddenly accelerated and passed the Southampton "famous player" Russell Martin who came later.

"Oh!"

Before the football rolled out of the baseline, he fell to the ground to increase his touch range and sent the ball into the penalty area with a shovel pass.

In the middle, Van Persie leaped up and finished with an extremely chic volley.

Three to zero!
Kill the game in the half!
"Come on!!"

After scoring the goal, Van Persie roared to release his pressure. Compared with the goals scored by Maher and Bale, and compared with his own performance last season, his condition since the start of this season can only be described as average.

But fortunately, as his efficiency gradually increased, he was able to see a brighter future.

"Bang!!!"

Seven minutes later, as the sound of heavy artillery fire echoed throughout the stadium, everyone stood up together and looked along the flight trajectory of the football.

Even the fans who were distracted at that moment knew that this must be the masterpiece of super heavy hitter Maher.

Generally speaking, the success rate of his masterpieces is relatively high!

"Shhh!!"

The football finally went through Rudy's net again, making the goalkeeper, who had suffered from Maher for three consecutive seasons, look desperate again.

He should be the worst one. In the Championship League, he met Maher, who reached his peak as soon as he debuted.

Later, when he moved to the Premier League, his abilities and value in all aspects also improved, but he was always suppressed by Maher.

Is there any royal law?
Maher has been in the industry for 3 years, he has been with the industry for 3 years, and has been a background board for 3 years!
Four to zero!
"Ha ha.!"

"Yeahhh!!"

The laughter and cheers of Arsenal fans echoed at Carrow Road Stadium. The team has brought them so much happiness recently.

"Vamos!!"

Near the corner flag area, Maher's roar and his simulated golf club swing were extremely conspicuous, attracting everyone's attention.

Bell gave a meaningful smile behind him, and I don't know what he saw.

Maher turned his head and pointed at him with a smile, obviously hinting at something.

When Arsenal players came up one after another, Van Persie put his arm around Maher's shoulders and said with a smile: "One goal and two assists in the last game, two goals and one assist in this game, to sum it up, this is a hat trick in consecutive games!"

"It's a pity there's no commemorative ball."

Maher shook his head and sighed with a smile, then changed the subject, "But it's okay, there will always be a chance. I'm already very satisfied with the way we played in the first half."

In a place where no one had time to notice, Wenger was clapping his hands alone, with a look of ecstasy on his face, as if he had maintained this posture for a long time.

"Click, click, click!" Fortunately, his figure was captured by the photographers on the scene and included in the post-match report.

"Norwich City beat us 2-! The two teams played a game with nearly double-digit goals!" - Sky Sports Premier League column

"With 7 goals and 12 assists in 4 Premier League games, Maher is still writing his legendary story at the age of 19! Wenger's smile!" - British "Football Record"

"First: Arsenal, 19 points, second: Chelsea, 19 points, third: Manchester City, 16 points, fourth: Manchester United, 14 points." - Premier League standings at the end of round 7
"Mael has scored 12 goals and 4 assists in the Premier League this season, and 3 goals and 3 assists in the Champions League, so he has already scored 15 goals and 7 assists, while Ribery + Benzema + Fabregas have only scored 14 goals and 10 assists, only leading by 2 goals, and even lagging behind by 1 goal in goals." - The Guardian

October 10, Chelsea Canteen.

There's something obviously wrong with the atmosphere here. It's depressing, and they don't seem like a team that's tied for first place in the Premier League in terms of points.

Fabregas arrived late and kept looking at his mobile phone all the way. He didn't feel anything unusual, but just felt that it was a little too quiet.

After sitting next to Benzema and Ribery, he didn't talk to anyone, but just browsed some news on social media.

Not long after, a report about Mahel in The Guardian caught his attention.

Fabregas clicked in and looked at it in detail for a while, and then his whole body seemed to suddenly freeze. He even forgot to breathe, and his right hand holding the whistle was shaking slightly.

Maher = 15 goals and 7 assists!
里贝里（3球3助）+本泽马（9球2助）+法布雷加斯（2球5助）=14球10助！
"What's this?!"

He looked up at Ribery and Benzema in disbelief. "As one of the authoritative media, is it necessary for The Guardian to do this? Look at this!"

After handing over the phone, he found that Benzema and Ribery both looked unhappy and obviously didn't want to take his phone.

It's like knowing the news in advance.

Fabregas slowly withdrew his hand, and at this moment, he felt the depressing atmosphere in the cafeteria.

He put his cell phone on the table, his chest heaving violently. He wanted to say something to Ribery and Benzema, but found that he couldn't say anything, so he had to lower his head.

Ribery and Benzema tilted their heads slightly towards each other, glanced at each other, and finally lowered their heads to eat.

"Paji."

The only sound in the cafeteria was the sound of eating. No one was talking, and some people were even trying to control their breathing.

The three Avengers had gloomy faces and felt an unprecedented pressure.

They can't say that as long as the team performs well, individual performance doesn't matter.

On the one hand, they came to this moment just to compete with someone; on the other hand, it would be too sad if three people couldn't even beat one person and had to make excuses.

After finishing their meal, the three of them still had no conversation and just went their separate ways home.

It seems that it will take them a long time to accept this fact, and they may even need to see a psychologist.
