Becoming a football god from Arsenal

Chapter 92: Double 20! He did it! He is always improving! [45]

At the same time, at Bramall Lane Stadium, the 34th round of the Championship match between Sheffield United and Derby County also came to an end here.

The big screens on both sides of the stadium clearly recorded the score of this round of games - Sheffield 3:3 Derby County!
"Oh!!" Even though it was a draw, this round of the game ended with the fans' cheers. Sheffield United fans were extremely crazy and kept jumping in the stands.

February is over. During these 2 days, they rarely showed expressions of regret and loss, but were mostly engaged in hysterical revelry.

At this moment of summary, even if there is no perfect ending, it doesn’t matter.

Let’s take a look at the team’s performance. In 2 games in February, they had four wins, two draws and one loss, accumulating 7 points!
They survived the intensive schedule after the winter transfer window and did not fall behind due to injuries and fatigue during this stage!
The team is still keeping close to Queens Park Rangers and Norwich, and retains a good hope of reaching the Premier League!
"Mael! Mael! Mael!!"

The fans at the scene cheered the name of the team's greatest contributor. The flag bearers, who had been waving flags and cheering for the entire game, were also tireless at this time. Every time they heard the crowd shout, they desperately turned the flag a circle.

Looking at them, they looked like a group of demons dancing wildly, with tens of thousands of arms waving together; they also looked like pilgrims performing some fanatical ritual.

Maher stood in the middle of the field, clapping his hands high and enjoying the treatment like a hero.

He brought joy and passion to the fans here, and the fans returned all of this to him, giving him countless unforgettable moments and countless emotional climaxes.

This kind of achievement and satisfaction is indescribable. Perhaps, because of this, there are so many people who love football in the world and children all dream of becoming football stars.

In the broadcast room, the Sky Sports commentator noticed this scene. He smiled slightly, with excitement in his voice: "8 goals and 5 assists! This is the data report submitted by Maher for the 7 rounds of the Championship League this month!

"13 goals in a single month, no matter which league he is in, this is an unparalleled data sheet! He will undoubtedly win another monthly best player award!

"I still remember when he scored five goals in a single month for the first time, the media asked him if he had ever thought that his current amazing performance was just because the defenders of other teams were not familiar with him and other coaches did not pay enough attention to him.

“Once they get to know you, it won’t be easy for you to score goals and make assists in the Championship.

"Maher's answer is that he will not stand still, he will keep improving!
At this point, his voice became more excited: "Now it seems that he has done it! At least, other Championship teams are slowly paying attention to his speed and have not caught up with his progress!

“28 goals and 21 assists, both goals and assists have exceeded 20! The season is not over yet, how amazing!!
"We all know that the 22-year-old Fabregas completed an amazing statistic of 19 goals and 19 assists for Arsenal last season! Now, a young man who is younger and better than him has appeared!
“I don’t know if what I said would cause dissatisfaction among Fabregas’ fans, or if they would scold me for not understanding the difference between the Premier League and the Championship!

"But Maher will be in the Premier League next season, going to the Emirates Stadium where Fabregas made his mark. I believe time will give us the answer, and Maher will tell us everything next season!"

Accompanied by his commentary, the camera followed Maher through the player tunnel and into a media room inside the stadium.

Maher held the trophy for the best player of the game and received the commemorative trophy for the best player of the month amid flashes of lights and applause.

Generally speaking, the best of the month is discussed and selected after the end of the month, and is usually distributed around the 10th of the following month.

But this month, the English Football Association seemed to have skipped the discussion after the month and directly handed Maher the monthly best player trophy after the game.

Indeed, with 8 goals and 5 assists in a single month, if you want to compare with him, you may have to add up the data of Sean Long and Tarabut to be competitive.

"thank you all."

In the camera, Maher blew kisses with both hands to the award presenters on the scene and to the fans in front of the TV.

"Arsenal."

Back in the cottage on Cherry Street, Gilbert learned that Arsenal had lost the title race and lamented: "It's too hard to make it to the final and lose the championship, or to be upset by a buzzer beater."

Maher sat aside, feeling uncomfortable when he saw the image of Wenger squatting dejectedly on the sidelines reported by the media.

This is his sympathy and pity for the tragic temperament of the second half of the old man's fate, which is a feeling that many fans who like Wenger will have.

The only thing to be thankful for is that he has the opportunity to help the old man in the future and write a new chapter of history with him.

Improve your strength well. Try to be able to directly change the team's combat effectiveness when you just return to Arsenal, help them to go to a higher level, and have stronger competitiveness on many fronts!
"Doesn't Arsenal still have the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup this season?"

Harry and Safina were also sitting next to the two of them. They came to congratulate Maher for winning the Player of the Month award again. Harry asked in confusion, "Is there no hope?"

“There’s not much hope for the league.”

Maher can no longer remember Arsenal's achievements this year, but they certainly haven't won the Premier League or the Champions League. "As for the Champions League, if we can beat Barcelona in the second leg at Camp Nou, we'll have a chance to make it to the end."

He knew the approximate result, but tried to be as subtle as possible: "As for the FA Cup, maybe there is a chance. Now that we haven't won the League Cup, the Champions League and the Premier League are too difficult.

"Mr Wenger should regroup and shift his focus to the FA Cup."

Harry nodded slightly. He was not an Arsenal fan and didn't know much about the team, but he knew a lot about football.

After digesting what Maher said, he had a new feeling and shook his head and sighed: "I have heard about Arsenal's financial problems. It is hard to imagine how a team can still maintain good competitiveness under such circumstances.

"I think about it now, Arsenal fought on four fronts this season, and it was only at the end of February that they were eliminated from one front, and that front even reached the final.

"Such a team and such a coach are indeed somewhat legendary."

As an observer, he spoke from an objective perspective: "I think the current Arsenal fans have not yet felt this. Their tastes have become more sophisticated. I heard that they occasionally speak ill of this meritorious coach."

"The fans want results."

Safina is not an Arsenal fan, but has some understanding of Wenger and Arsenal, and added: "They may also love the club, but from a different perspective, it is difficult to consider it from the perspective of the club and Wenger."

"The anger after losing a game often makes everyone lose their minds, so it is normal for them to speak ill of Wenger at this time.

"After all, a head coach has an important responsibility, which is to take responsibility and bear the wrath."

At this point, she looked at Maher and Gilbert and smiled, "You're going back soon, are you feeling stressed?"

"Naturally there is."

Gilbert answered first. He did not have the competitiveness of Maher and was in an awkward position: "If I went to an ordinary Premier League team, I don't even know if I could start, let alone Arsenal."

"What about you?" He also looked at Maher, expecting an answer.

"More or less." Maher stood up and walked to the refrigerator, took out a box of skim yogurt and opened it. "But I'm not worried about the competition within the team. What I'm more worried about may be the competition on all fronts."

"You have such a big heart."

Safina took off her coat and said with a smile, "After all, this is a wealthy club. You should first consider your position in the team and keep your position stable."

Her job was to serve Mahel only, so she must have considered things only from Mahel's perspective.

In her opinion, the first thing Maher should think about now is how to deal with competition, get along well with the stars in the team, and try to avoid quarrels and conflicts with the big brothers.

Arsenal is not Sheffield United, and there are many players in the team worth tens of millions.

After seeing Maher, it may be difficult for them to remain appreciative and friendly like the Sheffield United players.

"No matter what."

Harry took over the conversation and said with a smile: "I am still looking forward to the players that Safina and I serve being able to start for Premier League giants at a very young age."

"Me too."

Safina picked up her drink and clinked it with the yogurt in Maher's hand, raising her eyebrows slightly: "Good luck to you, your success will be an honor to Harry and me."

"Will do."

Maher encouraged himself and thought carefully. He would be 18 next year. If he could get a starting position when he returned, it would be a good achievement indeed.

Time slowly came to March. Sheffield United's schedule this month is mainly concentrated in the first half. After the 3th, they will have a 19-day "national team match day" rest time.

19 days, 4 rounds of the Championship League, the schedule is much more relaxed than last month, but it is definitely not loose.

On March 3, the away game against Portsmouth arrived, which was the 5th round of the season.

The end of the season is really close.

"OhLeiAh!!"

Amid the cheers of the fans, Gary Speed ​​sat in the coaching seat beside the court, chatting with Jolson with a vibrant look on his face.

“Is it possible to get 8 points this month?”

Jolson asked Gary Speed ​​with a smile, which sounded a bit joking and relaxed; "Now we have 72 points, which is very close to the 80-point play-off zone goal you mentioned."

"let me see."

Gary Speed ​​thought about the schedule, did some calculations and said, "In four league games, we either have to win three games or go two wins and two draws without losing. It's difficult, but I have confidence."

The depression he had at the beginning of the season has disappeared from him, his face is no longer tired, and he is full of energy.

"Just two points behind Norwich."

Jolson was fixing his hair and said wistfully, "I really hope something goes wrong with them this month, so they can lose five or six points and put us in the promotion zone. God help us, let's give up on them."

“Haha.” Gary Speed ​​pointed his finger at the air a few times and shook his head, “You’re full of bad intentions. We just need to take care of ourselves and don’t worry about the rest.

"The results at the end of the season will not let down our efforts this season. I believe this will be the case."

At this moment, his eyes suddenly locked on the court, watching a figure wearing the No. 17 jersey rush into the penalty area and shoot at the near corner.

"Gilbert!!"

Gary Speed ​​raised his right hand and said nothing more, because his cheers had merged with those of the fans in the stadium, "Yeah!"

Jolson came out of the dugout and high-fived him, and then both of them returned to their seats and watched the court quietly.

"Bang!!"

It was not until the 62nd minute of the game that Maher broke through the opponent one-on-one in a quick counterattack and made a beautiful shot towards the far corner of the goal.

“Wow!!”

Gary Speed ​​and Jolson stood up from their seats again, the victory was basically secured and there would be no major problems.

Mael!
Scored his 29th league goal in this game!
"Did you give him the 1000 pounds he lost?" Jolson asked excitedly, patting Gary Speed's shoulder.

"Give it."

Gary Speed ​​nodded and replied with a smile: "How could I not give it to him? He is the most important person on the team. I can't owe him anything."

"What about me?" Jolson patted his chest, looking expectant. "I brought the most important person to the team. I can't say I can get a salary increase of 1000 pounds, but at least a bonus, right?"

Gary Speed ​​looked at him, turned his head slightly speechlessly, and said to the players on the bench: "Someone is blackmailing me."

However, he did not forget his promise to Qiao Ersen. He turned around and put on a shameless smile, "Qiao Ersen, do you remember what I said to you when I called you?"

Jolson looked helpless, already knowing what Gary Speed ​​was going to say.

"I can give you that."

Gary Speed ​​put a hand on his shoulder and smiled, "My love, you can have as much as you want, as strong as you want, I can give you everything I have."

"Hahaha!" He and the players on the bench all burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was very cheerful.
