Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 85 See you on the professional field! Revenge on Norwich! A hearty and nutritious meal! [25]

After Maher walked out of the administrative building, he came to the entrance of the training base.

Gilbert walked in and met up with his agent first. A few days ago, when the first half of the season ended, he signed a contract with the famous English agent Barnett, and now he has a certain professionalism.

As there was another league match coming up that month, the two planned to return home after the signing and did not plan to stay here.

This made Hans quite regretful. His wife came today, and he wanted to drive Mahel and Gilbert back home and have his wife cook a meal for them to improve their relationship.

"Tell me next time."

Maher patted him on the shoulder and consoled him: "We are just Championship players now. Maybe next time we come back, we will become players of a newly promoted Premier League team. Our value will be very different, and it will be more worthy of celebrating with you."

Hans smiled bitterly, looking forward to it: "I hope time goes by faster."

"It'll be quick."

Maher replied, looking at the other U18 players who were still here. Some of them had done some psychological preparation and were eager to come up.

He took the initiative to walk up and chat with a few people who had spoken before, "How was this year?"

“It’s OK.”

"The intensity of training has increased. Coach Hans has high hopes for us and he is more confident now."

"There is a strong culture of hard work and practice in the club, and everyone has made progress."

A few people responded to him, which gradually made the others relax. They found that Maher had not become more difficult to get along with after becoming famous.

“What’s it like to play professionally?”

Someone asked, very curious: "I always think that the air there is different from ours, and there is a different magnetic field. Of course, it's just a romantic idea of ​​mine."

“It’s hard to answer specifically.”

Maher thought for a moment and replied dimly: "Anyway, it's wonderful. You'll know when you play it. You must keep up the good work."

"Ok!"

"Let's take a photo together. I brought my phone with me, but I didn't dare to tell you just now, so I almost missed it."

"Hahaha, everyone is looking forward to your return to the club. Then we can go to watch your game in person."

They finally became familiar with each other again. Someone picked up his mobile phone and took a few photos beside Maher. Another person took out a pen and paper amid laughter and wanted Maher to sign for him.

After finishing all this, Gilbert came out with his agent, and the two chatted for a few minutes before parting.

"Let's go."

Gilbert came over and called Maher, and the two of them walked towards the business car together.

Joelson wanted to be naughty at this time, so he put one foot on the wheel, pretended to have a pair of sunglasses on the back of his head, and adjusted it to his eyes, "Let's go, guys, don't despise my broken pickup truck, you will be comfortable when you get to the high-speed rail station."

The two were stunned for a moment, then they threw their heads back and laughed, uncontrollably recalling the scenery when they walked out of here.

The players behind also recalled Jolson and that day. Whether out of mischievous blessing or bad taste, they imitated him and waved their hands at the two men.

"Come on, Captain!"

"We're waiting for you to come back!"

"Mael, let those old foxes in the Championship have a taste of your heavy artillery!"

The sky was gradually getting dark. The two men got into the car, smiling, and looked out. Their faces could not be seen clearly, only their waving arms.

Maher took a deep breath and cooperated with them. Compared with before, he changed his words: "The professional arena is waiting for you!"

On January 1, the 22th round of the Championship, the match against Norwich is coming.

Since they lost 4-2 against Norwich last time, the players were determined to beat them at home.

In addition, several new players in the team are familiar with the team. Bertrand and Kyle Walker replaced two defenders with defensive risks, which is a significant improvement for the back line.

In this game, they were full of fighting spirit and vowed to defeat Norwich, which was ranked second!

“Hello everyone, this is the focus of the 27th round of the English Championship! Sheffield United, which has risen to third place in the standings after the last round, will face Norwich, which has been performing steadily and ranked second!

"The two teams have already met once this season, in that game, Norwich had the upper hand and their passing made it difficult for the Sheffield defence to cope.

"The game begins! Here is the broadcast commentary brought to you by Sky Sports!"

"."

“Norwich still firmly holds the ball, Sheffield United can only follow their passing and control, constantly moving their formation to ensure that there are no big gaps between the defense lines!
"This is a shot by Hoolahan! It hit the crossbar!! It was a powerful shot, but unfortunately it hit the fortifications, just a little bit off!
"He is an old acquaintance of Sheffield United. In the last round against Sheffield United, Hoolahan scored his second hat trick in his career."

"."

"Mael's heavy artillery outside the penalty area! It's dangerous! He hits back at Hoolahan!
"Rudy! Great save! The quality of this shot was almost a sure goal, but Rudy stretched his body and knocked it out with one punch!!"

"."

"The first half is over, 0-0! No goal has been scored yet, but that doesn't matter. It was a wonderful first half. Both sides played very beautifully and played at their best.

"It is worth mentioning that Norwich has one player who joined in the winter window, while Sheffield has two. These three new players performed well and proved why they can start the game as soon as they arrived!"

"."

"Mael cuts inside! He passes Russell and tries to pass again! Drewry falls down!! A lob shot!!

"Oh my God, Rudy's reaction is so fast, what happened to him today?! He saved a sure goal again!

"Maher met his match and he held his head in disbelief. We rarely see him show this kind of expression during a match."

"."

"Sheffield United were somewhat passive all the way. They did not get many chances, and even the ball was not delivered to their strongest explosive point, Mahel, very often. They looked a little depressed.

“The only thing worth mentioning is that they defended well today, and this was not only due to the excellent defense of their new players on the wing. “In the middle, Maher and Ward’s recycling occasionally helped the team and helped the team occupy the numerical advantage in the midfield.

"It was the last few minutes and the game ended in a draw. I think both sides can accept that. At least we didn't lose points and the gap didn't get narrowed or widened."

"."

“Kyle Walker has great pace, which he showed when he was on loan at QPR, and he had four assists from a full-back position.

"Unfortunately, due to the intensified conflict with the team's star player Taarabt, the loan period was hastily ended!

"Now, he comes to Sheffield United! Breaking through! Crossing the ball! Norwich center back Drewry heads the ball out! Gilbert controls the ball and knocks it sideways!!

"Mael, he now carries the hope of the team! Cut inside, pass one. Two!! Want to shoot?
"No! He chose to volley the ball!! Rudy! Rudy jumped out and missed!! The ball went in!!!
"Unbelievable!! I couldn't believe my eyes, he stood up at the crucial moment and used his amazing long-range shooting ability to send the ball into the Norwich net!! One to zero!!
"Rudy can save the team once, can save the team twice, but he can't stop Maher's third shot on target!!"

Under the roar of the commentator, Maher on the court patted his chest all the way, roared and rushed towards the fan area to celebrate, letting out all the depression of the game.

By the way, revenge is accomplished!
This time it was the Norwich players' turn to hold their heads. They looked at Maher in shock, unable to accept that the opponent had scored a goal in the final moments.

"Come on!!"

Maher enjoyed the crazy cheers of the fans. He clenched his fists and gathered strength for a few steps, and finally punched the sky hard.

It seemed that one celebration was not enough to dispel his emotions. He turned around, looked at his teammates running towards him, spread his hands to the sky, closed his eyes, and waited for them to hug him.

"Ah!" Gilbert rushed over to Maher, shouting as if he was doing the flying shoulder move in WWE. This goal was his assist.

"Click, click!" The camera on the sidelines recorded this scene. The Norwich soldiers with a defeated look on their faces served as the background. This photo deservedly became the post-match cover of the game.

"One to zero!! Sheffield United avenges Norwich at home! Maher's powerful shot wins Sheffield United three crucial points! He scored the winning goal for the third time this season!" - "3 Evening News"

January ends like this. Sheffield United will have no other games in the next ten days or so, and they will have a longer rest period.

Maher's life became regular and he gradually increased the intensity of his training. With the help of Harry's massage, his body's endurance improved a lot.

Safina was also well prepared that day, coming to the house several times a day to prepare meals for him, much more frequently than Harry.

The first meal is at 7:30 in the morning. The food list includes cheese, ham, yogurt, etc., as well as a nutritionally balanced fruit salad.

The second meal is after morning training, which contains a lot of eggs, chicken and steak, and is the largest meal of the day.

Secondly, at 3:30 in the afternoon, this meal mainly consists of fruits and some carefully made toasts.

At 6:30 in the evening, the last meal is mainly composed of whole grain carbohydrates, high-protein meat, and some vegetables.

Of course, this is not absolute. Sometimes we will make some changes and adjust the nutritional proportion according to the physical condition of the day.

"You can't have any more drinks."

That day, Safina looked at the drinks in the refrigerator and advised: "If you are determined to make a change, you can't take chances. Nutritious meals and junk food cannot offset each other.

"You can't think that if you are 10 points healthier today, you can be 1 point unhealthy.

"You're not going to get the remaining nine points, you're going to get six or seven points, maybe less."

Maher stood by and pinched his chin. Thinking that these sweet and sour drinks would be gone from him, some eager saliva secreted from his mouth.

That was stimulating his brain, making him say to Safina - No, I can't let this go.

Long-term devilish training has equipped him with the ability to deal with such situations. He uses his eyebrow muscles to push the flesh of his forehead toward his brain, forcing his brain into blank mode with the help of external force.

He waved his hand towards Safina and said directly: "Please throw it away for me when you leave."

"Okay." Safina, like an emotionless machine, picked up the bag from the side and put all the drinks away.

Gilbert was grinning and gloating on the side.

"And you."

Safina noticed him and was still talking about this matter: "You can't buy drinks anymore. You two live together. If you drink, he will drink too."

"Oh, okay." Gilbert was suddenly touched. After spending a few days together, he was impressed by the food made by Safina and felt a little cowardly to do whatever she said.

I was not impressed by the food itself, but by the nutritional combination and professional knowledge.

He didn't let Maher pay the 500 euros. Now that his salary has increased, he doesn't need this little money. It always feels weird to let others pay for him to eat all the time.

He also became depressed at this moment, and stood with Maher, saying with a bitter face: "This sacrifice is so great, what kind of achievement do we need to achieve to have a sense of balance."

"Champions League, right?"

Maher was also in a bad mood. He felt that his life was too miserable, so he directly said two: "And the Golden Globe Award."

"what?"

Gilbert was a thick-skinned person, and his attention was easily diverted. At this moment, he forgot about his depression and asked in surprise, "Are you joking or do you really think so? Those two things should have nothing to do with us."

Maher looked at him and sighed, feeling a bit disappointed with him, but he did not forget his sense of humor: "You will understand when you are my age."

"Mael."

Gilbert pursed his lips and hesitated before saying, "You're actually not humorous at all."

".Okay." Maher was speechless and laughed dryly.

"Haha."

Safina covered her mouth and laughed. She said, "I watched two of your games and found that you really played well. You may have a place in a big club, but one person cannot be good at everything.

"but."

As if she felt that this would be a blow to her employer, she stopped smiling and said, "It's good for young people to have goals. I admire your courage. Compared to Gilbert, I believe you can win the Ballon d'Or and the Champions League."

"Pfft." This time it was Gilbert's turn to laugh, and the two of them seemed to be playing a duet with Mahel.
