Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 83: Significant Therapeutic Effect! In Full Swing! [55]

After returning to her rented home, Safina went straight to the kitchen in the room, checked various equipment and made a list.

Harry and Maher went to the living room and sat down. There was not much tea at home, so Maher got him a bottle of drink and they started chatting.

“There’s no extra room in the house.”

Harry saw the layout of the house and smiled, "Post-training recovery massage may only be done in the living room or your bedroom."

"it does not matter."

Maher smiled faintly and explained, "Because I will be returning to Arsenal in half a year and won't be here for long, after my salary increased, I didn't look for a bigger house."

"As long as you live comfortably."

Harry didn't think there was anything wrong. Although he didn't know Maher's specific salary, he thought it would not be low.

Moreover, such a talented player, as long as there are no major accidents or setbacks in his career, will sooner or later earn countless money in this increasingly money-oriented football world.

Their future income is unimaginable and cannot be envied.

Gilbert walked out of the room at this time. Surprisingly, he was accompanied by a tall and strong young man with a young face.

"Who are they?"

He looked at Maher, somewhat curiously, "Did you find the physical therapist and nutritionist you mentioned before?"

"Yes."

Mahel nodded at him, his eyes fixed on the figure behind him, a man he was very familiar with.

"Harry Maguire."

Gilbert noticed Maher's gaze and pointed at Maguire, introducing him as "a defender from the U18 team. He's the same age as us. He just came to report to the first team today. We met and chatted for a while and got to know each other."

Maguire looked shy and a little frightened. He put one hand on the back of his neck and nodded to Maher.

He knew that Maher also lived here, and he had actually been mentally prepared for the meeting.

But. No matter what.

In a private setting like home, seeing Maher, who is currently dominating the English Championship, still gives people an indescribable feeling, which can be summarized as admiration mixed with caution.

What's more, he is a defender.

While watching the first-team games each week at the Academy, he would substitute for other Championship defenders who were toyed with by Mahre.

Combined with the media reports on Maher, he gradually developed the impression that Maher was a "monster" and was afraid of him from the bottom of his heart.

This has nothing to do with age. As a peer, it’s great to see another peer have achieved such success.

All Maguire felt in his heart was admiration, respect, and a heartfelt admiration.

"you two"

Maher was a little surprised. It was the first time he knew that this Manchester United defender, who later became famous, was actually a Sheffield United youth player.

But at the moment, he was more curious about something, and he looked disdainful: "What are you doing in the bedroom?"

"what"

Maguire reacted before Gilbert did. He was a bit shy, so he was slurring his words: "No, we don't have that, you're wrong, we're all straight."

"Farke?"

Gilbert came back to his senses, furious. "What are you thinking? He said he has good jumping ability and heading ability, but he can't judge the landing point. He envied my heading skills, so I taught him through the video tape."

"OK OK."

Maher was just joking with them, and after that he didn't say anything more and ended the topic.

He then had his first therapeutic massage training in the room, which reminded him of his days in a foot spa in his previous life.

However, as a professional physiotherapist, Harry's technique is definitely much better than those foot massage ladies whose "life stories are mostly tragic".

"Hiss" Maher often grimaced. It was only during the massage that he realized how sore some muscles in his body were.

“These are all hidden dangers.”

Harry pressed his hands carefully and explained to him, "You young people have good bodies. After warming up and running, you always feel that your bodies are in good condition, but in fact, some parts of your body have become sick due to overwork.

"This is not only recovery, it can also be considered treatment. Fortunately, you were aware of physical therapy early on, otherwise it would be easy to become a glass man later."

He did not just criticize Maher, but often praised his strengths, "You are very flexible, better than any football player I have ever seen, and your muscles are very developed.

"If you stick to physical therapy every day, I believe you will have a chance to have a body like Cristiano's."

This is the third time he has mentioned Cristiano. Indeed, the Portuguese star has much more than what he shows on the court.

He also has a bug-level ability that ordinary people would not notice - super high attendance rate!

Whether in the later period of Manchester United or in Real Madrid where he currently plays, he has basically been present in every season.

No need for rotation, very few injuries, and seemingly never troubled by "fatigue".

Maher was very envious of his ability in this area, but he did not underestimate himself. He confidently smiled and replied: "No, there is a chance. I think I can achieve even more amazing strength in the future."

"Good luck."

Harry probably thought he was joking, but it was hard to argue since it was only his first day at work.

On January 1, the 17th round of the Championship arrived and the Sheffield United team went to Coventry's home ground.

As soon as the game started, Maher burst out with the liveliness he had at the beginning of the season. He was full of strength and felt like he had endless energy.

This is undoubtedly due to the physical therapy massage over the past two days, which has greatly relieved his muscle fatigue.

In just the first week, he enjoyed the effect of spending 4000 pounds a week on himself, which made him determined to expand the team.

"Quinn's volley!! A wonderful and perfect shot! Sheffield United takes the lead away from home!!

"Lucky Gilbert, he got to the wing and wanted to cross the ball to Bolodanovic, but he missed the ball and it went wide!

"Who knew that I could help Quinn by accident and get an easy assist!"

"."

"Coventry's defense missed a man, Montgomery passed the ball to Maher! This position in the penalty area is very dangerous. Letting Maher receive the ball here has already proved the failure of Coventry's defense!

"Change the angle! Richard Wood couldn't catch up with him and shot the ball into the far corner! !
"Smooth as silk!! Maher extended the score to 2-0 for the team!!
“I don’t know how to describe his performance in the Championship. When I saw him receive the ball in a dangerous position in the penalty area, I was almost sure that he would be able to complete a shot!
"Once you let him shoot, you just pray to God that the ball goes over the line, or that the goalkeeper does something amazing."

"." "Amazing goal! Ched Evans!! The hook shot went into the net!!
"Wow! This has to be the best goal of the week in the Championship, and it may even be nominated for the best goal of the season at the end of the season!!

"He has been scoring goals in recent games and his form is getting better and better. Coventry's defenders need to concentrate. It was their poor clearance that gave Evans the chance."

"."

"Ward tried to get past Stibbon on the wing! He stumbled a bit and was intercepted! He stumbled past Stibbon!

"Coventry has very few defenders in the middle. They just invested too much manpower in the attack. Gilbert and Januhans have both entered the penalty area, and Maher on the left is also here!

"A cross! Look for the back post!!
"Mael was unguarded on the landing spot and dived. His move was ugly, but the result was the same!!
"A brace!! Maher scored twice! He scored his first header in his career! The posture doesn't matter, as long as he can score!"

"."

"He ran a lot today and was always able to appear in multiple offensive positions, and sometimes even helped his teammates defend in the middle.

"This is incredible. Many players' form plummeted in the second half of the season. He himself has also been on a downward trend recently, but he was reborn in this game!"

On the field, Maher, who scored the second goal, ran to the edge of the field full of energy.

He called his teammates over along the way, and he was the first to jump onto the billboard, waving his arms and cheering at the Sheffield United fans who traveled from the stadium.

"Yeah!"

His voice mixed with that of the Sheffield United fans and resounded throughout the stadium.

After this round of games, he will rush to London to sign the huge new contract with Arsenal.

It was extremely satisfying to complete such a brilliant performance in this last game where I was paid 10k a week and say goodbye to my past self.

"Sheffield United beat Coventry 4-0 away! The biggest winning margin this season, Maher scored twice, Quinn and Evans each scored a goal!" - Sky Sports Editor

The next day, Maher and Gilbert got on the team's business car and headed to the Kearney training base.

After more than half a year, he finally started his journey back. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional, thinking about the scene when he came here from there.

He has forgotten a lot of things, but he remembers that the team's current top assistant coach, Jolson, was still a young scout at the time, driving his beat-up pickup truck, looking like a cowboy.

"I said."

Joelson was also in the car today, and he was going to accompany us all the way. "Can you please stop smiling at me? It's a bit creepy."

With his current status, he certainly has no responsibility to accompany the players back to the team to sign, he just wants to walk the path he has walked before.

Now that I think about it, everything about Sheffield United this season is related to his bold attempt before the season and to this road.

He drove his almost scrapped car back down this road at full speed and snatched away two young talents!

But who would have thought at that time that they could make so much contribution to the team?

The sentence "If you appear, I hope you will do your best for Sheffield" that once seemed a bit childish now sounds like he has some kind of witchcraft that can predict the future.

"Not planning on buying a new car?"

Mael looked at Jolson. They grew up together, so they were naturally very close. "Your current salary is much higher than before, right?"

“It has doubled.”

Joelson did not hide it. He turned his head and looked out the window. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'm not planning to buy one. I'm dating a sports reporter from a TV station. It's quite expensive. I plan to get married."

"Be careful with pretty women."

Maher joked, but still gave his blessing: "But I hope you can be happy."

Jolson didn't talk much about this topic, but asked: "What about you? You are about to get a huge salary, aren't you going to buy it?"

"Buy it."

Maher chuckled and said yearningly, "I'm learning to drive. Once I get my license, I'll buy one right away."

"What are you going to buy?"

Hearing him ask this, Maher thought about it. In fact, he had many things he wanted but couldn't get in his previous life. At that time, he didn't hesitate about anything. He would wake up laughing in his dreams if he got any one of them.

Now that I have the ability, I am actually facing some difficulty in making choices.

"Nothing to think about."

Joelson saw his dilemma and shrugged, reminding him: "When you have more money in the future, you can choose a few major car dealers and buy one from each."

"good idea."

Maher laughed and put aside his hesitation, thinking that his suggestion was good. He still liked cars very much and could build a garage in the future.

"Have the signings been finalized?" Gilbert asked, leaning his head out from the back row.

Jolson nodded and glanced at them. "Don't you know? Many people in the team know the news. There will be new players reporting today."

"We knew Maguire."

Gilbert shook his head. Their information was indeed a bit blocked. "He is a player transferred from the youth team, not a transfer."

"have a look."

Jolson took out his cell phone, pulled up a list and showed it to the two men.

Maher finished watching first. Not counting Maguire from the youth training camp, there were a total of five new players joining, most of whom he didn't know.

There is only one player who joined on loan, Kyle Walker, who can be considered very familiar. He is the world's top full-back in the future.

"Walker is the most unfortunate."

Jolson introduced him with a look of regret, “He was originally a product of the team’s youth training, very young, and was sold to Tottenham for more than 3 million pounds two years ago.

"We soon found ourselves begging Spurs to loan him back for half a season.

"We also asked for an offer and wanted to buy him back at a high price, but Tottenham refused, saying the player was not for sale and would only be loaned out."

“Don’t cry over spilt milk.”

Maher consoled him, saying that he had not expected Sheffield United's youth training to have such a high success rate. "It would be great if they can be promoted to the Premier League after using them for half a season."

The three of them chatted all the way, and soon the vehicle drove into a road that was considered deserted.

We have arrived at the Kearney training base.
