Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 268 The wheels keep rolling forward! Plans for the new month! So far, it has been a legendary experience!
"Six to two! The top battle ended with Arsenal's big win! This was a hearty goal battle, a massacre!" - "Live Bar"

“马埃尔2球3助再次获得多个评分机构10.0满分评价，球员在英超前9轮已经轰入15球7助，场均制造进球正式进入2+时代！”——《卫报》

"Benitez's position as coach is already unstable. According to rumors, Abramovich is likely to contact Mourinho in the near future and pay Real Madrid a release clause in the winter. Will Mourinho compete with his old rival Wenger again?" - AS

"No one expected that Chelsea, who were in great form at the start of the new season, would suffer the biggest defeat in recent seasons! Maher's phenomenal performance was the main cause of their defeat." - London Evening News

After the game, this match was discussed by fans all over the world, naturally most of them were fans of Arsenal and Chelsea, but of course there were also many people who just joined in the fun.

It is obvious that people who discuss Arsenal are mostly concentrated under Maher's related posts, and people who discuss Chelsea are mostly concentrated under Benítez's related posts. They do not disturb each other and have their own arguments.

In Maher's related posts, the 'Golden Globe Award' was mentioned many times, which was rare before.

"Cool!"

"He scored 5 goals and defeated Chelsea in London at night! Having a striker like this really allows us to sleep well every week!"

"He has created 9 goals in 22 games. His form is much better than last season. Who said he couldn't do it before the season? In my opinion, if he keeps playing like this, his number of goals in the Premier League will soar to 50 this season! He may also be the assist king."

"This kind of performance is no longer the best rookie or the most talented young player, he is the best!"

"The concept that he is the best has long been known. He has long been recognized as one of the top three in the world and one of the three greatest talents of all time. What we should discuss now is whether he has a place in the Ballon d'Or at the end of the year!"

"Yes, I think if Maher scores 25 Premier League goals and 10 assists before the end of the year, he will have a chance to compete for the Ballon d'Or."

"Look at his performance this year. He won two titles in England, led the team to win the European Cup in a record-breaking manner, and started the new season in hot form. It would be unreasonable not to win the Ballon d'Or with such performance."

"If it was in previous years, I would have no hesitation in confirming that Maher, who is in this state, would be the winner of the Ballon d'Or, but this year it is not necessarily the case. Messi may score an unprecedented 100 goals in the year."

"100 goals? That's amazing, but Maher has titles and many records. What about Messi?"

"Three Ballon d'Ors and more than a dozen championships, accumulated honors and reputation, this is what Messi has, and it's also a plus, not to mention he has scored more goals."

"Maher is only 19. Although we have never seen a player like him, his reputation and honors seem to be insufficient."

“This is nonsense.”

As time went by, many fans started arguing under the post, but for Maher's fanatical fans, there was no fight that could not be won.

With 2 goals and 3 assists, they are first in both the Premier League scoring list and assists list, and also first in the league. This is their confidence!

Under the posts about Benítez, the discussion was relatively simple, with most people just repeating one sentence - "Benitez! Get out of Stamford Bridge!!"

In short, October passed quietly amidst waves of verbal battles and discussions.

Arsenal once again ended the month undefeated, and demonstrated their strong dominance over the league in the final tough battle, securing first place in the Premier League!

It's still the same. Maybe people don't have any feelings about this season right now, but when they look back in the future, some will remember the happiness and high spirits of this moment, while others will lament the waste of time with themselves and their team, and the sadness of coexisting with geniuses.

Time is like this, it does not give people time to react or experience. The wheel rolls forward again and enters a new page.

The fourth month of the new season has arrived quietly.

"First: Arsenal, 25 points, second: Chelsea, 22 points, third: Manchester City, 22 points, fourth: Manchester United, 20 points." - Premier League standings at the end of round 9
On October 10, Maher wrote down his main plans for the month in his diary.

首先是训练方面的，在兜射与传中都去到lv5的最高等级后，他的训练池中就只剩下疾驰lv4、神力lv4、花式技巧lv3这3项主练技能了。

Apart from these, there are the two additional comprehensive skills of shooting and passing which I have not yet practiced but feel are becoming stronger and stronger.

Yes, the feeling is still getting stronger, but the panels for these two skills are still not out.

Maher doubted more than once whether he had made a wrong judgment, but as he felt more and more that he was just one step away from success, he decided to persevere.

"Just like before, the affinity for shooting skills has increased more than that for passing, and recently the difference in the speed of improvement seems to have increased." He muttered to himself while sitting at the table, but he didn't know why.

Never mind. Since you are persisting, just continue practicing. One day you will understand everything. For now, you should think about which skills training to include in your new plan.

The first thing Maher thought of was physical fitness. After having a deep conversation with Wenger, he felt that what he needed most now was a stronger physique.

He has never been injured since his debut, and has never been absent for more than 2 weeks. This is thanks to his strength level 4, coordination level 4, and physical fitness level 4.

Without the help of these three physical skills, he would be at risk of injury at many points in the busy schedule.

However, once the upcoming schedule becomes more intensive, or even if there is some targeting by the Premier League, the level 4 skill may not be enough, and level 5 will be more stable!

"This is a critical period of growth and the best opportunity to compete for various honors. If the rhythm is interrupted at this time, it may be a huge blow to the mentality and momentum, so physical fitness must be trained."

Maher made the decision to include physical fitness, but he did not directly incorporate it into his training plan.

The two skills of Gallop and Supernatural Power have already occupied all his time and energy for training muscle strength and agility. If he adds physical fitness to the mix at this time, his body will definitely not be able to handle it.

[Skill: Galloping lv4]

[Proficiency: (3652/5000)]

[Skill: Divine Power lv4]

[Proficiency: (2984/5000)]

[Additional skills: Fancy skills lv3]

[Proficiency: (1042/1500)]

Glancing at the proficiency panel, he saw that the skill of Galloping was less than 5 proficiency points away from level 1500. He breathed a sigh of relief. This skill with a proficiency of 5000 points was finally about to be upgraded.

After a slight sigh, Maer also made the final decision, "When you reach Sprint Level 5, you will immediately add physical training. By the time the divine power is upgraded, I believe that the physical fitness will have already been established.

This kind of step-by-step improvement is definitely more reasonable. On the one hand, it can avoid the risk of over-tiredness and injury during training. On the other hand, after training one, seeing another almost upgraded will make him more motivated to train.

"But if you don't practice physical fitness, you must practice other things. You can't let your technical skills be limited to fancy skills."

Maher thought about how to plan training to improve game performance, which is also an important lesson for him.

But fortunately, long-term attempts and feedback have made him experienced, so he can make choices with more confidence.

"Volley and stop." He finally made a choice and picked two technical skills.

Considering the four dimensions of passing, stopping, dribbling and shooting, the first thing that can be ruled out is that the two skills of dribbling and fancy moves are now completely sufficient, and you just need to wait until the fancy move additional skill reaches level 2. Training higher may not significantly improve the performance in the game.

You can wait until later to complete the practice, there is no rush now.

Shooting and stopping the ball are different, one significantly improves goal efficiency, and the other significantly improves ball holding ability, and also helps him to better complete shooting and passing actions, which can be regarded as basic skills.

After playing so many professional games, Maher gradually discovered that there were opportunities for volleying in almost every game.

This is different from the feeling he had when watching games in his previous life. In fact, the passing of professional players is not smooth. Under high pressure and fast pace, their threatening passes are generally not particularly comfortable.

Many balls that appear to be low to the ground on TV are actually half-high balls when they appear in front of you.

If you want to shoot directly at this time, you have to volley. Moreover, for many people who are not good at volleying, they dare not shoot a half-high ball directly. Most of the time, they have to stop the ball, but Maher usually volleys directly.

This is also the reason why he encounters so many volleying scenes and scores so many volleying goals.

There is no need to talk about stopping the ball. Since you can deal with a half-high ball with one kick, you also need to learn to deal with it with two feet. After all, the game field changes rapidly, and not every move has to be done directly. Sometimes you need to pay attention to the rhythm.

For basic skills, the higher the better, this may be an overall improvement to the game.

that's it!
Maher wrote out a training plan and decided to add these two skills into his daily training one by one. He also did some simple calculations on paper.

By the time Gallop is upgraded, these two skills with a proficiency limit of only 2000 points will probably be reaching max. And with the upgrade of these two skills, the divine power will also increase soon.

By that time, the additional comprehensive skills of shooting and passing should have come out. If they come out early, they should have been upgraded to lv3-lv4, right?

Add to that physical fitness and coordination. It seems that the upcoming training time will be a very fulfilling period, a time when major improvements will be made frequently.

As long as he can endure this hardship, he will be able to truly get closer to his ultimate goal in the near future - becoming a football god!
"call"

Greed and desire flashed in Maher's eyes. He sent the plan to Jose and then went to the schedule in the storage room to look at this month's schedule.

In fact, he had just scribbled on the paper just to calm down and sort out his thoughts, and there was not much he actually wanted to write.

“11月3日欧冠小组赛第4轮对阵沙尔克04、11月7日英超10轮对阵富勒姆、11月10日英超11轮对阵阿斯顿维拉”

He didn't read any further, but instead fixed his attention on the game on November 11th.

If all goes well, they will complete their 49th unbeaten streak that day.

On November 11, the fourth round of the Champions League kicked off at Schalke 3’s home stadium, the Veltins-Arena.

这场比赛对于沙尔克04来说是一场很重要的比赛，小组赛3轮过去，1胜1平1负的他们算是被逼到了悬崖边上。

If they still want to play, they'd better take advantage of the home advantage and get points from Arsenal. They have the confidence to do so as they drew with Arsenal away from home in the last round.

But after the game officially started, they found that the Arsenal in front of them seemed to be a different team from the previous one.

Having gathered their strength, they immediately displayed great fighting power, with a dazzling array of passes. Sometimes they could hardly keep up with the football with their eyes, let alone their bodies.

"Bang!!"

In the 7th minute of the game, Giroud received a pass from Arteta and shot the ball steadily into the right corner of the goal, completing the goal.

One to zero!

14 minutes later, it was Arteta again. He looked very brave today, as if he was still brooding over the 04 goals lost to Schalke 2 in the last game and wanted to take revenge.

"Bang!!"

He swung his right leg about 30 meters away from the penalty area, fired a powerful shot, and the ball bounced towards the goal.

"Snap" Goalkeeper Unnersthal made his first side dive and caught the ball, but as soon as he fell to the ground, he saw Van Persie with a toothy smile appear at the landing point of the football and pushed the ball into the net with one foot.

Two to zero!
"Shhh!!"

At the beginning of the second half, Maher scored an indisputable world-class goal from outside the penalty area, changing the score to 04- amid the helpless and convinced expressions of the Schalke players.

Complete victory!!
"Bang!!" In the 71st minute of the game, Maher made continuous breakthroughs on the left. After entering the penalty area, he did not hesitate and shot the ball with the outside of his foot towards the goal.

"Snap!" Unnersthal made another amazing save and hit the ball to the other side of the penalty area.

Unfortunately, this time the football was controlled by Bale. Without thinking too much, the Great Sage kicked the ball back to Mahel with a sideways kick.

The Schalke 04 players turned their heads back and forth, some of them were already disoriented. At this moment, they naturally did not expect Bale to knock the ball back so decisively, and they were unable to defend against Maher in the first place.

"Bang!!"

Another muffled sound was heard, and Maher rubbed his foot with the outside of his foot again, hitting the incoming ball in a beautiful arc and blasting the ball into the net.

Four to zero!
"Yeahhh!!"

"Mael!"

"Topped the Champions League scorer list!"

"No, Messi just scored again, he is now tied for first place."

"A tie is also one!!"

"."

Amid cheers, Maher ran to the sidelines with his hands spread out and laughing, doing the mermaid-like side-lying celebration pose.

6 goals in the Champions League!
He is almost catching up with the number of goals he scored in last season's Champions League. This season, he must win many major honors in the Champions League, including the Champions League title!

"Arsenal beat Schalke 04 2-4! Maher scored twice and tied with Messi for first place in the scorer list. In the last two games, he has scored 3 goals and assists. Huntelaar helped the home team save face at the last moment!" - Daily Mail

On November 11, Arsenal players returned to their home ground to play against Fulham in the 7th round of the Premier League.

In this match, Wenger did not dare to be careless and still sent out all the main players to face Fulham, which is currently ranked 11th in the league.

"."

"Giroud!! Scoring goals in consecutive games!! One to zero! Arsenal took the lead in the 5th minute of the game!!
“This may still be an Arsenal-style game. After winning the top battle with Chelsea, the team seems to have been activated. Their offensive line has become sharper and more stable!
"Of course, this statement was appropriate at the beginning of last season. Except for some special cases, their offensive line has always been very good. They are also a team that has made a name for themselves through offensive football!"

"."

"Mael's cross shot! Sasha made a crucial block, but the ball returned to Mahel's feet. Sasha! The second dive was too strong, Mahel was waiting for him to come up, and this time he was passed cleanly!

"Another curved cross!! Oh oh oh. Van Persie!! The ball goes in!! Two to zero!!

"."

"Will it happen? Here it comes!! A slam dunk!!

"Haha. Steady hit! Three to zero!! Maher is still in great form!! There is almost no suspense in the game!

"No one could have imagined that Arsenal would be able to achieve their 48th unbeaten streak so easily on their way to a legendary record. They are just one step away!

"Of course, it may be too early to say this. The game has only been going on for about 50 minutes, and there are still 40 minutes left."

"."

The commentator's words were indeed a little early. In the 54th minute of the game, Maher and Van Persie were substituted one after another, and Arteta was also replaced by Gilbert. Arsenal made large-scale adjustments.

The desperate Fulham players seemed to see an opportunity to "kill a god" and from then on began to work hard and raise the banner of attack.

The turning point came in the 76th minute of the game.

"Bang bang!"

The cool Berbatov dribbled the ball past Koscielny deftly, then pushed the ball past Thiago Silva's crotch and into the net.

One to three!

Hope rekindled!

This was not the end. Just 3 minutes later, in the melee of a corner kick, he found the opportunity and appeared in the right position, and pushed the ball into the back of the goal.

Two to three!
"Wow!" With the roar, Berbatov shook his long hair, then picked up the football and ran towards the center circle, and Fulham was completely in momentum.

Thiago Silva and Koscielny both had their hands on their hips with confused looks on their faces. The temptation of 48 unbeaten games and the pressure of surpassing the legend of the previous generation made them a little breathless.

The fate of Maher and others also made them lose confidence. They started to become conservative and even timid, which allowed Brother Xiaosha to play in good form.

“&**&&#!!”

“Eh! Eh!!”

Off the field, Wenger looked at the field with a serious face. He had already felt the impatience and worry of the Emirates Stadium, and also heard some fans scolding him for his substitutions.

It seemed that he had done something wrong. He was careless and looked around at the players on the field, then looked at last season's meritorious player on the bench, and felt ashamed.

It would be a shame to lose his undefeated streak like this, and he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"Oh!"

In the 89th minute of the game, it was Berbatov again. He held the ball at the penalty area line and advanced to the right. In the process, he suddenly changed his rhythm and pushed the ball into the penalty area.

Kacaniclic, who came on as a substitute, rushed to catch up, knocked down Sagna who was slipping a little, and shot the ball into the net.

Three to three!!

"Aaahhh!!"

"Fuck!!"

"."

"No one could have imagined, absolutely no one could have imagined this moment before!! Who could have guessed that Fulham would prepare such a big show for us in the second half? Who could have thought that the team ranked 11th would equalize Arsenal!
"Moreover, their momentum is growing stronger and stronger, and they obviously have a chance to complete the winning move!
"I think everyone at Arsenal will be very nervous. The current Fulham team is like a monster in front of them, trying to snatch the food from their mouths and the chance to surpass the legend!

"Will it be Fulham? Will they leave a mark in football history like this and give Maher a huge blow in his career like this?"

"."

At the edge of the court, Maher stood up with an expression of disbelief, his eyes filled with sadness.

He stood beside Wenger, looking at the field anxiously, sometimes even forgetting to breathe due to nervousness.

"3 minutes of extra time in the second half!"

The injury time card made his heart shake violently and uncontrollably. Every steal and attack by Fulham players would make him stand there stupidly, not daring to move.

After such long hours of hard work, he didn't want the team to fall at this moment, but he had to admit that this was often the moment when the team was most likely to fall.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Maher kept looking at the time on the scoreboard as he felt every second was a year. The more time went by, the more nervous he became, and the sweat on his palms increased.

"Bang!!"

At 92 minutes and 41 seconds of the game, Berbatov fell to the ground in front of the Arsenal penalty area and completed a prone shot. The football spun and flew towards the Arsenal goal with great quality.

Arsenal's defenders were obviously stunned by the three consecutive goals, so much so that they can no longer display their original strength.

At this moment, Mael's heart was in his throat and he even felt dizzy and wanted to vomit.

"Snap!" But at the critical moment, Szczesny, who started today, stepped up and saved the ball! !
Not only did he dive down, but he directly held the ball in his arms, leaving no chance for a follow-up shot or a corner kick!

Saved!!

"Szczesny!!"

"Yeahhh!!"

The passion at the Emirates Stadium was rekindled, and the fans celebrated as if they had scored a goal. Everyone felt a sense of ecstasy as if they had been reborn after a disaster.

Maher and others jumped up and cheered as if they had won the championship, and then ran along the sideline towards Szczesny, ready to celebrate with him.

"Bang!!"

After delaying for a while on the ground, Szczesny received a yellow card, and then delayed for a while before kicking the ball high into the air.

The referee checked the time, glanced at a certain spot in the stands, and finally succumbed to the pressure from the Arsenal fans. He put the whistle to his lips, "Beep! Beep! Beep--!"

As three long whistles were blown, the entire stadium fell into chaos. Arsenal fans celebrated wildly, and Maher and others ran towards the stadium and towards Szczesny.

"I love you!!"

“You saved us!”

"I knew you could!!"

“48 games unbeaten!!”

"."

After celebrating with his teammates, Maher felt relieved. He took a few deep breaths and looked up at the sky. "No matter what, in the next league, we will start to challenge the legendary record of 49 unbeaten games!!
"As long as we stand on that final field to challenge the legend of the previous generation, we will have no regrets!
“So far, our experience has become a legendary one!”

"AaahhhhYeahhh!!" The other players gathered around him, hugged him shoulder to shoulder, and jumped together to celebrate.

A 3-3 draw with Fulham is not a good result for Arsenal at any time, let alone now.

But what they are happy about at the moment is not just this game, but the result of more than 1 minutes of struggle and hard work in 48 Premier League games over the past year! !

Henry and Bergkamp were waiting for them up ahead, and the legendary Arsenal also extended a hand to them, pulling them onto the legendary ship!

Everyone was extremely grateful for every drop of sweat they had shed in the past, extremely grateful for their perseverance in gritting their teeth and sprinting to prevent the goal from happening countless times when they were exhausted, and grateful for their courage to rush forward when the goal was halfway through.

Now, they are heading to the 11th round of the Premier League, which is also the 49th game across the season!
They have to be there, catch up with their predecessors, and launch themselves to move forward!

"First: Arsenal, 26 points, second: Chelsea, 25 points, third: Manchester City, 23 points, fourth: Manchester United, 23 points." - Premier League standings at the end of round 10
