From Arsenal to the Ball God

I didn’t expect him to have such a strong desire to score. He took a quick shot at the goal, but the football flew high and headed for the stands.

”No good.”

Wilshere shook his head with a smile, apologetically gesturing to the teammate who was waiting for a pass, and said to Ma’el, ”It still has to be you, more hope for a goal.”

”It will come.”

Ma’el smiled and waved to him, signaling him to be patient, ”Get ready for a long shot performance.”

”Haha...” Wilshere laughed a few times, and the two ran together, waiting for an opportunity at the edge of the penalty area.

Time continued to tick by, gradually passing 80 minutes... 85 minutes.

”Hang in there!”

Udinese’s coach kept looking at the watch, reminding the players of the time, hoping they could hold the goal until the end.

The players seemed to be defending better and better, adapting to Arsenal’s rhythm, they easily executed a tight defense, blocking all gaps.

”Boom.”

In the 88th minute, Alexander Song made a pass to Ma’el, who was between the opponent’s defense line and midfield, it seemed like an ordinary pass, even a bit careless.

Ma’el glanced left and right while standing still, raised his right foot as if to knock the ball back with one kick.

”Snap.” Suddenly, he twisted his waist and turned, facing the opponent’s goal, and charged with the ball.

”Get closer!”

”Wrap it up!”

Only then did Udinese’s defense take him seriously, converging on him from all directions, most of the defenders showing nervous expressions.

”Boom.” Ma’el carried the ball two steps to the right, glanced at the goalkeeper’s position, took a deep breath, and followed up.

Continuing to carry the ball would be risky, might as well... take a shot from here!

”He’s going for it!”

On the sidelines, Wenger and Philip stood up from the bench again, looking at Ma’el.

”Go for it!” Wilshere stood next to Ma’el, expectantly watching the ball at his feet, then looked at the goal.

”Threat pass +1.” Alexander Song muttered, calculating his stats, his mindset different from others.

”Oh... Aaahh...” At the Emirates Stadium, the fans behind the goal stood up, eyes filled with fervor, hoping immensely that the ball would go in.

Amid everyone’s anticipation, Ma’el focused his gaze intensely on the football at his feet. While running, he swung his left arm, his right foot tightly tensed, powering a shot.

”Boom!!”

As a patch of grass and dirt scattered, the football shot like a cannonball carrying an unstoppable momentum, striking towards Udinese’s goal.

The goalkeeper dived sideways beautifully, his body stretched extremely well, but his face showed astonishment and panic.

”Swish!” The sound of the net brushing was quickly heard, Ma’el stood at the shooting spot, seeing the football smashing into the net, also seeing the fans behind the goal excitedly raising their arms.

Three to zero!

The first goal at Emirates Stadium has arrived!

”Yeahhh...!!!” A thunderous explosion was heard, over fifty thousand Arsenal fans finally saw the moment they had long anticipated, erupting in a voice that echoed through the clouds.

”It’s here! It’s really here!”

On the sidelines, Wenger and Philip simultaneously raised their hands and leaped, then turned their heads in sync, excitedly jumping and hugging each other.

Secured entry into the Champions League!

Basically killed the game!

”Oh.....!” Ma’el roared all the way toward the fans’ area at the sidelines, the joy of scoring and the atmosphere inside the stadium made his blood surge instantly, his whole body heated.

Fourth goal!

Even if it’s not a Champions League proper match goal, and not counted as a Champions League goal, it was his first time scoring at Emirates Stadium, hearing the fans’ cheers!

”Beautiful!!”

”Spectacular goal!”

”Ah..... Ma’el!”

”Stunning!!”

Watching the vivid faces on the field showing excitement for him, countless hands raised for him..... he couldn’t help but handspring on the ground again, following with a graceful flip.

This time, he didn’t raise his arms high and shout, but spread his hands, closed his eyes towards the fan area, lifted his head.

He enjoyed the cheers rising in the stadium for him at this moment, enjoying the hot air at this time!

”Emperor over the world!”

The on-site commentator’s voice trembled, excitedly delivering the commentary: ”Ma’el is like a monarch reviewing his followers, at this moment, he is indeed worthy of being the king, the hero of Emirates Stadium!

”What a wonderful performance, after scoring a hat-trick in the previous game, he declared his arrival at Emirates Stadium with a world-class goal!

”Udinese’s players squatted on the ground holding their heads, their coach beat the rain cover..... they might already know, even if they return home for the second leg, they might not be able to turn the tables!

”Arsenal will advance to this year’s UEFA Champions League, which will be a new stage belonging to Ma’el!

In the corner flag area, photographers frantically snapped close-ups and full-body photos of Ma’el, someone started running, wanting to capture both Ma’el and the fans he was facing from a side angle.

The Arsenal players soon arrived, happy to see Ma’el score a goal at the Emirates Stadium in the final moments!

”It still had to be you!” Wilshere patted Ma’el on the shoulder, looking at the excited fans by the sideline, unable to resist raising his arm, celebrating with them.

”You did it!”

Walcott came over with a smile, giving Ma’el a tight hug, ”I knew you could do it, this will be a perfect day..... the fans at the Emirates Stadium will be with you for a long time!”
