From Arsenal to the Ball God

”Haha.....!” There was a burst of laughter in the conference room, it was quite a coincidence that the Wolves player who scored twice shares a name with a club legend.

”Henry is still going strong.” Van Persie joked, waving his hands upward and shouting, ”A 7-point gap! We’re definitely going to clinch the title early!”

”Oh ho...!”

”Arsenal... Arsenal...!”

”Champions! Champions!”

Everyone celebrated together, the joy coming not just from the rivals slipping up, but also from their undefeated feat against relegation-threatened teams in the latter half of the season.

”Looking at it this way, Wigan and Wolves were really tough. One stopped Manchester United, the other stopped Manchester City!”

”Winning wasn’t easy!”

Someone sighed like this, and they quickly recalled the two matches. One was Ma’el’s brace to overturn the result, the other was him drawing a red card and assisting the team’s first goal.

Most people spontaneously shifted their gazes to Ma’el, smiling at him.

”So...!”

”Dang dang dang dang...!”

”I have a friend... he’s driving a Bugatti on the sideline, dancing on the defense line...! Dang dang dang dang...!”

The familiar song played, Ma’el too was engulfed in joy, standing up and clapping to the beat, dancing alongside Sagna.

Amidst the celebration, he saw Wenger heading to the front of the conference room, seemingly wanting to say something to everyone.

The singing gradually subsided, and people began recalling Wenger’s words before the match began..... they actually hadn’t focused much on Manchester City’s tactics, especially after Wolves scored.

But, it’s likely Wenger is happy now, too?

After this match, they are indeed just a step away from the championship!

As long as they secure a convincing win against Chelsea at home, and then grab the win against Manchester City at the end of the month, they could even hold the trophy ceremony directly at the Emirates Stadium, clinching the title early!

”Clap clap clap...”

Wenger slowly came to the front of the stage, biting his upper and lower teeth, feigning seriousness, as if unbothered by Manchester City’s defeat.

”I...”

But upon opening his mouth, a sense of pride uncontrollably surged, instantly dissolving the carefully constructed seriousness on his face.

This genuine inner joy made it hard for him to close his smiling mouth, making several failed attempts to adjust.

”Hahaha.....!” Laughter burst from every player’s mouth, Philip and Hans and other assistants also lowered their heads, holding back laughter.

Wenger couldn’t resist joining in with the laughter, finally raising his arms high, ”Damn championship trophy, let it return to our embrace at the end of the month!”

”Good...!”

...

On April 21st, Arsenal welcomed the penultimate match of the month, hosting Chelsea at home, it’s a London Derby.

Chelsea encountered some turbulence mid-season, with Portugal coach Boas arriving amid praise but failing to meet expectations, leaving abruptly amidst criticism.

Assistant coach Di Matteo took over the reins, and has been in charge ever since.

Having early on found their hopes for the league title out of reach, they shifted focus to the Champions League and FA Cup matches.

On April 16th, they first slaughtered Tottenham 5-1 in the FA Cup semi-final, advancing to the FA Cup final!

Soon after on April 19th, they stunned by defeating Guardiola’s Barcelona 1-0 in the Champions League semi-final, advancing to the Champions League final!

Di Matteo, this originally unknown assistant coach, has thus arrived at the center stage of European Football.

He is very likely to achieve the dream of Ah Bu and the team, creating his own coaching legend simultaneously!

”Keep telling us we’re boring - we’ll just keep on scoring now.....!”

In the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal fans’ singing was strong and powerful, resembling stormy waves, exuding an unusual vitality.

When the players stepped out and saw this scene, their faces showed smiles, knowing where this liveliness comes from.

The fans were always very in sync with them, maintaining the same frequency.

”The Premier League round 35 battle is about to start, the importance of this match for Arsenal is self-evident! I believe many Arsenal fans are watching with strong excitement,”

In the broadcast room, Zhan Jun’s voice was brimming with vitality, ”As long as they win this match against Chelsea, they will have a chance to win the title early in the next round!”

As a commentator, he always has to emotionally involve himself in fans of different teams, it’s his job.

”Let’s take a look at both teams’ starting line-up, for Arsenal, goalkeeper is Szczeny, left-back is Kyle Walker, center-backs are Mertesacker paired with Koscielny, right-back is Sagna.

”Three midfielders, with Alexander Song in the middle flanked by Arteta and Ramsey.

”Up front is Van Persie, with Ma’el on the left wing, and Walcott on the right.

”This line-up is basically their strongest lineup, could it become a classic championship set?

”But if you were to select the championship set, the recently recovered Vermaelen and Gibbs, as well as the midfield Rosicky, and the right-winger Gervinho, should also have a place.

”They have all contributed so much to the team, being one of the architects of the championship!

”Of course, they haven’t won the title, one shouldn’t speak too early, haha...!”

”.....”

”Looking at Chelsea’s lineup, since this is their third match in six days, they can only field a semi-main semi-rotated 4-2-4 lineup.

”Goalkeeper position is Cech, center-backs are Terry paired with Kahil, left-back Ferreira, right-back is Bosingwa.
