Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 273 If you are sick, go see a doctor! Ballon d'Or warm-up begins! Moyes is helpless!
"Bang!!"

Five days later, still at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal and Montpellier kicked off the fifth round of this season's Champions League.

As Arsenal had already secured their place in the group, Wenger sent out a pure substitute lineup to face Montpellier.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!!"

In the 11th minute of the game, Gilbert's long-range shot refracted through the fingers of the Montpellier goalkeeper. The Emirates Stadium suddenly became extremely hot, and Arsenal fans cheered until their voices were hoarse.

"Gilbert!! Arsenal have a one-to-zero lead!!

"Everyone has seen in the past ten minutes that even with the substitutes, Arsenal are clearly stronger than Montpellier!
“People always say that Arsenal’s bench can finish in the top six in the Premier League, but now I think top four is a real possibility!

"Let's meet Gilbert, a talented young player who graduated from the Colney Academy at the same time as Maher. He played with Maher for a whole season at Sheffield United and they had a very good cooperation.

"Although he seems to be a long way from Maher now, at the age of 19, he is a rare young talent who can play as a substitute in a Premier League dominant team!
“I hope he will have more opportunities to partner with Maher in the future! Fans who have watched the two of them play in the Championship should be looking forward to their partnership!”

"."

After scoring the goal, Gilbert rushed back to the bench as usual, hugged Wenger, and then found Maher, who did not start the game today, and hugged his friend tightly.

“I will try my best to be a starter.”

He smiled and patted Maher on the back, "The Jimma connection will reappear in the world. Wait for my assists! I will definitely feed you."

“Aren’t you an engineer now?” Maher looked at him and smiled.

"Engineer?" Gilbert let go of Maher and walked back, pointing at the field and saying happily: "Engineer can't score a goal? Can't assist? Don't worry, I can do it all."

"Ha ha."

Maher laughed twice, looked at his friend's back and murmured, "I am the omnipotent one. I will be waiting and start as soon as possible."

After this goal, both sides failed to make any progress in the first half and Arsenal entered the halftime break with a score of one to zero.

At the beginning of the second half, it could be felt that both teams were not very excited, the tempo was not very fast, and the threatening attacks became less frequent, perhaps because they both played too cautiously.

"Bang!!"

However, in the 84th minute of the game, the second goal came.

Gilbert made a sudden move with accurate prediction, went around to the front of the opponent's No. 10 player Bellhanda, kicked the ball away, and then passed the ball to the right.

On the right side, after getting the ball, Walcott did not rush to break through the opponent's full-back, but dribbled the ball into the middle, leaving space on the wing for Joao Pereira who was running behind him.

After a very simple two-pass pass, João Pereira got the ball without being marked and made a cross to the middle!

"The ball went over the middle! It was Podolski who came up from the back post and scored! 2-0! Arsenal basically killed the game!
"What a high efficiency, Podolski, it seems like he has been activated since coming to the Premier League!
"Besides Maher, he is the only player in the Arsenal team who takes less than 70 minutes per goal! I think he needs more chances!
"But it's unlikely. It seems that any of the front players in Arsenal's starting lineup are irreplaceable. We can only say that wherever there is an injury, he will quickly come on the field to fill in!"

"."

On the sidelines, Wenger smiled warmly and shook hands with his assistants. Maher also stretched lazily behind him, looking relaxed.

Both of them told the camera that they were going to clock out!
Leave work with a victory!

Even though Arsenal doesn't seem to be in urgent need of a Champions League victory right now, no one doesn't want to keep winning and get more Champions League winning bonuses!
"Beep! Beep! Beep!" Soon, three long whistles sounded, and the fifth round of the Champions League group stage ended with Arsenal winning 5-.

"Who can stop Arsenal? This team has not lost a game in any of the four fronts this season! In addition, they also won a championship early in the Community Shield!" - London Evening News

"Arsenal are in a position to fight on four fronts this season, or at worst on three. They are in a different situation from last season. If they maintain their form, I hope they can win the treble and make a breakthrough compared to last season." - Lineker's comment

"What I hope most is that this team can win the Champions League. I believe every neutral fan thinks so. If your home team can't participate in the Champions League, then support Arsenal. Wenger, Maher and this team need a Champions League." - Pires' comment

"Mael was temporarily replaced by Messi in the top scorer list due to a rotation, but he still ranks first in the assist list!" - AS

"It is rumored that Mendes has planned to start warming up and hyping Maher for the year-end Ballon d'Or. If the rumor is true, this will definitely be news that will shake the world of football because Mendes has a Ballon d'Or-level player under his command." - Marca

"Obviously, this year belongs to Maher and Messi. Cristiano is not very competitive this year, even though he has more honors and more reputation than Maher." - Gary Speed ​​said when he was a guest on Sky Sports

"Everton will face Arsenal, who are in great form, in the next game. Moyes and his team are determined to end the team's unbeaten record in the Premier League!" - Merseyside Newspaper

"??? If you are sick, go see a doctor." - Moyes' daughter's social media
"This is my basic plan. I won't make it public, but you can take a look at it first."

On November 11, the day before the 24th round of the Premier League against Everton, Mendes came to Maher's home and put a plan on Maher's desk.

Maher picked it up and examined it carefully, and saw that it was a plan for 'laying the foundation for the Golden Globe Award', which was divided into three parts.

The first part is to emphasize his performance, data and honors accumulated in the past year.

First of all, they will produce a lot of beautiful data charts and goal and assist highlight videos, such as header highlights, long shot highlights, total goal highlights, etc., as well as various poster photos.

The purpose of doing this is simple, to allow these charts and highlight videos to spread virally through social media!
Circulating all over the world, deepening fans' impression of his performance in the past year!

They are also preparing to make video highlights of his performance in some key matches, such as the winning goal in the final, the best player with a hat trick in the final, and dominating the derby, to highlight and emphasize his role and stability in key battles.

This is a common tactic. You have to remind the fans of your dominant performance in the past year, otherwise it will be easy for the fans to forget and will not feel that the cold data numbers are special.

The second part is to create his 'hero' image.

Every star player will have similar hype and preparation, because people like heroes and yearn to see heroes in the real world.

If he can convey this impression to the fans and gain their approval, more and more people will support him and his chances of winning the award will grow louder and louder.

Once this happens, those with the right to vote will also be affected, and will silently increase their impression points and final score of him.

Although Maher didn't want to do this deliberately, the Ballon d'Or ceremony was just around the corner and every star was hyping himself up. He could only go with the flow and put aside his face, self-esteem and other things for the honor of the Ballon d'Or.

“Highlight leadership qualities and team spirit, and use charity activities to enhance your image.”

Maher read out the methods Mendes planned to use to build his "hero" image, and asked with a smile: "These two are easy to understand, but telling my inspirational story. Do you have an inspirational story?"

"There's none?"

Mendes looked at him in shock, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Two and a half years ago, you couldn't even afford a pair of sneakers, but now you have everything.

"This is very inspiring. You really got everything through hard training. All your sacrifices turned into nourishment, helping you grow into a towering tree."

"Okay." Maher shrugged, picked up the document and continued to read. "I thought that in people's impression, I was just a genius who was lucky and talented and became famous at a young age."

"Hahaha" Mendes raised his head and laughed out loud. He did not disturb Maher and continued to read. The third part he mentioned was to communicate with a large number of media in advance to ensure that in the next period of time, they would continue to report positive news about Maher and there would be no comments that would affect his reputation.

The last thing is to contact the Golden Globe judges in advance and win their support, which is also the top priority. But Maher doesn't have to worry about it, Mendes will take care of it all.

"How is it?" Mendes asked expectantly, thinking that Mahel had probably finished reading it.

“Very comprehensive.”

Maher put down the document. He didn't understand these things, so he couldn't see anything.

"In fact, I missed a very important point." Mendes raised his head, paused, and said, "These are the things that can be brought to the table and written down. There are also some that cannot be written down."

Maher's expression shifted, curiosity flashing in his eyes, "What?"

"Drag down others, contact the media to discredit others, and try to lower the impression of competitors"

Mendes raised his head as he spoke, his eyes becoming more sinister, but he still had a smile on his face, "Well, of course within a reasonable range, as long as it does not amount to a malicious attack."

Mael looked at him and didn't say anything for a while, as if he was stunned.

"This is a must. If you don't do it, your competitors will."

Mendes is worried that Maher is too young to talk about morality. "There is no bloodshed without competition. Harmony only exists on the stage. If two or more people want the same thing very much, their means of competing for it will not be clean.

“The greater the temptation, the more filthy the means. When the benefits are great enough, people will even risk their lives, not to mention their conscience. This is the smallest price to pay.

"You do this because others will use the same method on you. If you don't use it, you will naturally be weaker.

"From what I have learned, many football stars in history had the opportunity to win the Ballon d'Or in their peak years, but because they were too clean, they unexpectedly failed in the end, which became a lifelong regret."

He was not ready to stop talking here, as if he wanted to convince Maher in one fell swoop, “You are different from them, they want the Ballon d’Or, but you want to be the youngest Ballon d’Or winner in football history.

"It's the ambition to break the monopoly of Messi and Ronaldo and to be in the best position at the age of 19!

"so."

Maher chuckled and shook his head, "Don't worry, Mr. Mendes. I'm not the kind of person you think. From the beginning, it was impossible for me to be negative about this suggestion."

"Ha" Mendes smiled with relief and pointed at Mahel with his finger in the air.

"I was just thinking." Maher looked at Mendes, unable to speak.

"What about Ronaldo?" Harry, who had been sitting next to the sofa and not disturbing the two of them, couldn't help but ask. He was one of the people closest to Maher and knew almost everything about Maher and what he was thinking.

Mendes smiled and said, "That's my business."

Maher stared at his face and felt that this matter might not be that simple. The Portuguese superstar should not be willing to be a foil. After he found out that Mendes poured resources into him this year, he would definitely have some reaction.
"What are you thinking about?" Mendes looked back at Maher and asked curiously.

"I'm thinking"

Maher looked away and picked up the remote control to switch to Sky Sports. "It happened so fast. I haven't even prepared myself yet, and haven't thought too much about the Ballon d'Or, but suddenly I have to warm up and lay the groundwork."

Half an hour later, Mendes left with an expectant look on his face: "Mael, please recruit more people for Football Record and your social media PR team. We want an account matrix and we want to spread your news virally."

"It's natural."

Maher nodded, hugged Mendes, and said with a nostalgic look on his face: "I haven't been here much recently, so let's stay in London for a while. Let's drink together at the end of the season and get drunk for three days and three nights."

"Hahaha!"

Mendes turned and left, but his laughter kept echoing in the path in front of Maher's house. After a long while, he turned his back to Maher and waved his hands left and right, "Good! What I hope is that I can drink with the Triple Crown winner at the end of the season!"

Mael looked at the back of the exquisite man not far away and chuckled.

"Mael!!"

On November 11, at Goodison Park, in the 25th minute of the first half, Maher on the wing suddenly accelerated to shake off two defenders, then he passed Everton center back Distin and made room.

"Bang!!"

Then, he quickly connected the outside of his foot to the far corner and suddenly scored the goal without any adjustment.

Goalkeeper Howard flew out and fell to the ground after missing the ball. He heard the cheers of Arsenal fans in the distance, "WowWowAaaahhhh!"

Just as the second half of the game started, before he had time to regain his form, he saw Maher blast past right-back Hibbert from his right and kick a low ball towards the goal.

"Oh!"

As soon as he turned his head back, Van Persie's white teeth started to smile, and the other party was already one meter in front of him.

He could only see the general movement of Van Persie's shot, and nothing else. He didn't even know where the ball went.

"Yeahhhh!!" But listening to the sound, plus a little common sense, it is not difficult to judge that Van Persie must have scored this goal.

Nine minutes later, Giroud received a cross from Kyle Walker and put the ball into his net again.

"Bang!!"

Two minutes before the end of the game, Bale made a cross from the right, Maher rushed over and poked the ball into the goal with a toe shot.

Four to zero!
"Beep! Beep! Beep--!"

At the end of the game, Howard stood in front of the goal with his hands on his hips, not quite understanding why some media felt that it was they who blocked Arsenal's 51st unbeaten streak.

At this moment, he suddenly heard something and turned to look at the sidelines.

Amid the cheers of Arsenal's expeditionary force and the boos of the home team's fans, there was also the roar of their head coach Moyes. The famous Scottish coach looked furious, with his brows furrowed and his body movements varied.

Although he couldn't hear what he was saying, Howard understood, or thought there must be a sentence in it, "Fuck the Merseyside newspaper! Fuck blocking Arsenal! You're making fun of me, right?"
