From Arsenal to the Ball God

”Another world-class goal!! The unparalleled Ma’el completes a double in the semi-finals! Just 42 minutes in, he has scored 2 goals!

”He, who is skilled in using the outside foot strike, creates the most beautiful curve in the European Cup, resembling a meteor streaking across the night sky!!

”Three to one! France fans cannot contain themselves. Shortly after Germany narrowed the score gap, Ma’el expands the lead to 2 goals once more!

”The final beckons as if it is right before them! They can already faintly hear the Bullfighter’s Dance echoing around them!!”

”.....”

”Ciel....! Ciel.....!!”

Deschamps, on the sidelines, proudly waves his right arm, energetically saluting the France team fans in the stands.

Penetrating Germany’s defense 3 times in the half and returning to the halftime break with a 2-goal lead is definitely a great motivation for the players!

”Hey now.....!”

Listening to the song reverberating around the stadium, Deschamps steps lively to the beat, involuntarily singing along. His awe for Ma’el is just like that of the fans.

What kind of player can score continuously in such a tournament, scoring 8 goals in 5 games?!

It’s terrifying!

Thankfully, he is a player of the France team. If he were a part of Germany, a part of Spain, they would have no hope!

”Accelerate with full force! Strive for victory! Because no one shines as brightly as you.....!”

If it weren’t for knowing he dances terribly, Deschamps would want to join some of the fans in dancing enthusiastically. Sadly, he is not like Wenger or Löf, those old-fashioned men.

After celebrating with the assistant coaches, he discreetly turns his gaze toward the far side of the Germany substitutes’ bench, observing the opponents’ current state.

Löf is seen turning away, one hand clasped to his chin, the other aimlessly stuffed into his pocket, standing beside the disappointed-looking number 10 of Germany, Podolski.

Both look heartbroken, seemingly perceiving that the situation is irreparable.

Deschamps felt even more assured, wishing he could lift his chin to the sky, allowing God to see his smile, inviting God to laugh with him.

His demeanor quickly gets captured by the cameras, becoming a topic relished by commentators from various countries.

”In the past few matches, France team’s goal concession was slim. Many thought it was due to their good fortune.....Were it not for luck, they couldn’t have surpassed Italy, might have even stumbled in the group stage.

”However, some fans believe this is a misconception; France team’s greatest issue is their weak attacking power.

”If it weren’t for Ma’el, they couldn’t even achieve a per-game scoring average of 1 goal.

”Many experts expressed concern to them, emphasizing that in a European Cup stage, each player’s form fluctuates greatly, as strong as Ronaldo has only scored 8 goals across three tournaments.

”These experts had warned Deschamps to practice new offensive strategies, recall Benzema; otherwise, if Ma’el were to experience a scoring drought, France team would struggle to breach their opponents’ gates.

”But looking at it now?

”Perhaps Deschamps would proudly pat his chest and say to everyone with arrogance, I need no new strategies, need no troublemaker. You all need not fret idly!

”Ma’el will not experience a scoring drought. Such an all-around player, alone he can help France team achieve a per-game score of 1 goal or even more!

”The team that possesses him almost takes to the field already with a one-nil lead!

”This is his fortune, how could it be his trouble?

”In such a long human history, haven’t people always been searching for simple ways to solve problems? Now that he found one, why not use it?

”Pass the ball to Ma’el! Because just as the Liv Stadium sings at this moment, when he fires off, you have no choice but to watch in admiration!”

”...”

Inside the stadium, the Germany players mostly look like Podolski, only a few are still clapping to encourage their teammates.

Panic spreads among everyone, even Lam, double-captain of Bayern Munich and Germany renowned for his resilience, now shows signs of being dumbfounded.

In such high-specification, high-level competitive match, being hammered in with a goal every average of 15 minutes by the opponent, tastes truly unpleasant.

What’s more distressing is they discover they don’t seem to have good responsive measures; when Boateng is repeatedly bypassed by Ma’el, what else can others do?

”Beep!”

After the restart, without waiting for the first half to finish, a storm of public opinion reignites across major social media platforms, countless Germany fans start to abuse Boateng online, Hummels and Löf also get embroiled in the turmoil.

This is certainly not good, but it’s unavoidable. When you are a public figure, performing so poorly in a major event, you will suffer such treatment.

”’Top Defender’ Boateng!!” —This scarlet line, symbolizing a viral ’hot spot’, appears on major platforms, attracting clicks from the masses.

”What is he doing?! Not awake yet? If you want to sleep, go home and sleep.”

”Isn’t his most suitable position center-back? Putting him at full-back to defend Ma’el?!”

”I always said, people can’t eat everything. Look, Löf is reacting badly!”

”Hummels is like a saint one game, ghost the next. Usually so stable, faced with a super striker easily breaks down, gets lobbed....Oh dear, can’t you kick him down if you can’t defend?”

”You can’t really blame him. Watching live, Ma’el’s start was too fast, he couldn’t turn in time; even kicking him was too late!”
