From Arsenal to the Ball God

As they left the field, the elegant Italian extended a finger toward a camera on the sidelines, indicating ’one’.

His meaning was clear: now, they were going to challenge for first place!

Mancini’s eye sockets were deep, his eyes bright and focused; no one knew exactly what he was thinking, only that he harbored a strong desire.

After more than half a season of selection, the Premier League title race now had only three teams left, which could be called the Three Titans.

They hadn’t fallen behind, were staying until the end, and had pretty good rankings, giving them a decent chance!

”The final moment has arrived!”

At the post-match press conference, Mancini sat at the table, looking deep, ”We must play well in every game, strive to climb to the top of the standings, and achieve the goal we’ve had for so many years.

”Manchester City fans have waited too long!”

He pursed his lips, having fallen in love with this city and the Blue Moon fans.

”I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but whether it’s you, Ferguson, or Wenger, you’ve all mentioned the final moment multiple times, always seeming to use this phrase to intensify the tension,” a reporter questioned.

”Haha.....” Mancini smiled slightly, his expression quickly returning to seriousness, ”But the situation is indeed becoming more urgent, isn’t it?”

...

On March 17th, the Champions League round of 16 kicked off, with Arsenal hosting the aggressive AC Milan at the Emirates Stadium.

Wenger used a semi-rotational lineup for this match, taking Ma’el, Van Persie, Mertesacker, and others off the roster, offering others a chance to shine.

”Boom!”

At the start of the first half, Koscielny scored from a header during a corner, breaking the net.

One to zero!

Aggregate score three to five!

In the second half, at the 68th minute, Rosicky seized the opportunity to shoot from the edge of the six-yard box, scoring for the team again.

Two to zero!

Four to five!

Unfortunately, just one minute later, Milan capitalized on a foul by Zhu Lu, with Robinho launching an amazing free kick.

Two to one!

Aggregate score four to six!

Apart from this goal, Milan seemed too relaxed at Arsenal’s home ground, failing to score further.

This scoreline was the same when the final whistle blew, and Arsenal ended their Champions League campaign for the season with a narrow victory.

After the match, Wenger raised his hands high in the center circle arc to greet the fans and shook hands and talked with the players.

Finally, he looked up toward Manchester, knowing that two people there were watching him, watching his team.

There’s not much more to say, so in the remaining less than 10 rounds of the Premier League, let’s have an exhilarating decisive battle!

There will be only one winner, let’s see who it is..... They are the only English team this season with a chance to achieve the Double Crown, and they are also likely to win the title unbeaten. He believes they have stronger motivation!

After the match, Ma’el came to the sidelines for an interview.

Asked about his feelings after being knocked out of the Champions League, he chuckled lightly, ”I think Mr. Wenger has already answered this question long ago. If you want everything, you’ll end up with nothing.

”When the team and individual strength haven’t reached their peak and good opportunities arise together, there has to be some trade-off.

”The Champions League will be my main battlefield in the future, but not now. This season, I just want to win the Premier League title with an unbeaten record.”

”Will the team succeed?” a reporter asked a rather dull question.

”It will.” Ma’el laughed, knowing full well he couldn’t say ’no’, but he seriously expanded upon his answer, ”Including this season, but much beyond this season, thank you.”

After saying this, he waved to everyone and then turned to leave.

Arsenal has the last 9 rounds of the Premier League left, with each round bringing them closer to an unbeaten title, psychologically making them more tense and more eager.

Thus, to avoid everything falling apart, they must thoroughly prepare for each upcoming match!

Not only the coaching staff needs to work hard, but the players themselves must also strive.

Behind him, a Sky Sports reporter looked at his back for a long time, sighing, ”Once he puts on the jersey, his back seems invincible.”

The journalists beside him gave him a disdainful look, and someone asked, ”First time?”

”Huh?”

”First time doing football reporting, or first time encountering him? We’ve had the same feeling since his Championship days.”

”No way, is there really a hierarchy of disdain? Everyone’s gone mad?”

”Hahaha.....”

This month on the British Peninsula is tense yet full of fun; no matter how you look at it, this period is made up of countless people’s spirited youth alongside countless painful regrets.

Through the many emotional changes, people understand why they hate failure and love success.
