From Arsenal to the Ball God

”Haha... Before you broke the record, we already thought you were the best forward in this league!”

”King of the Emirates Stadium!”

Ma’el looked at them with appreciation, listening to their voices encouraging him, feeling a bit touched.

He rarely communicated face-to-face with fans, mostly reading their comments and messages from his social media accounts.

That experience didn’t compare; he couldn’t feel the rise and fall in their voices or see their expressions when they spoke.

When he saw one living person after another in front of him, affirming and praising him, it was a completely different feeling.

His desire for the championship grew even stronger..... The fans brought him so much emotional value, he must bring them more joy.

Both players and fans striving towards each other, that’s the best way to relate.

Walking a bit further, he noticed he had arrived at Section A, starting to search intently for a certain figure.

Soon, he saw Isabella dressed in an Arsenal No. 7 jersey, wearing white stockings and white boots, waving at him, her outfit was refreshing today.

Ma’el smiled, walked up, and gave Isabella a tight hug.

”My throat is almost hoarse from shouting,” Isabella said with a radiant smile, leaning close to Ma’el’s ear, ”You played so well, I’m proud of you.

”By the way, many Arsenal fans recognize me, they asked for your autograph, haha...!”

She unusually had time today to watch Ma’el’s game, not only seeing him break a record firsthand, but also receiving the enthusiasm of Arsenal fans.

No experience could be better than this; it felt as if she had lived it herself.

”How did you answer them?” Ma’el could sense Isabella’s happiness, which improved his mood.

Isabella slightly raised her head, with a proud smile, mimicking the expression she showed then, ”I said, you are too busy, I can’t bear to trouble you more, it would hurt my heart.”

”Haha.....” Ma’el couldn’t help but laugh, pinched her cheek, and then kissed her, this time more skillfully.

”Oh...!” Nearby fans started hooting, taking out their phones to capture the moment.

Isabella was gradually getting used to it, not appearing shy or blushing this time, she smiled generously, looking fulfilled and a bit captivated, holding Ma’el tighter.

After they separated, she looked into Ma’el’s eyes seriously, ”I want to celebrate with you when you win the championship.”

Ma’el nodded with a smile, also gazing into her eyes, ”Alright, but if we secure the championship early, we might have to wait until the season ends to relax, we still have the goal of remaining undefeated.”

”Then the celebration should be even crazier, I’ll go to your place and drink with you, partying heartily.” Isabella smirked and held onto Ma’el’s neck.

”Alright.”

Ma’el kissed her cheek one last time, preparing to continue with the team’s post-match activities.

”Hey!”

Seeing him about to leave, Isabella called out, waving sweetly at him, ”Ma’el, I want to be there in every significant moment of yours! I’ve always had faith in you, from way back.”

Ma’el turned back and nodded heavily at her, feeling some special emotions inside.

He recalled before participating in his first Champions League match, Isabella pointed to the photo wall saying it was his journey, and she would definitely be there waiting for his value to exceed one hundred million one day.

Back then, she probably already believed in him, always providing support in her own way.

Perhaps from the very beginning, Isabella was destined to become an important person in his life.

He hoped this relationship could last longer, both of them continually motivating each other forward, never losing passion.

”Whew...”

No matter how it’s said, on the day of achieving the 27th victory, on the day of breaking the Premier League single-season goal record, ending in this way, it was impressive.

It was a perfect day.
