From Arsenal to the Ball God

”Leon Ma’el! This elegant striker, who scored another Puskas-level goal today, seems to be leading Arsenal on a path to the summit.

”Will he maintain the strong performance from last season or deliver even more extraordinary play?

”I think this expectation will be the hope of fans worldwide... because people always anticipate seeing something new, and Ma’el just might deliver an entirely new level of performance!”

After he finished speaking, Zhang Lu offered closing words for Chelsea, ”It’s a pity for Benitez’s team, as they seem to have skills without a chance to use them, conceding 4 goals and scoring 1.

”There’s no doubt about their players’ abilities, but the question is how to better utilize them?

”I think that’s an issue for him and his coaching staff to solve next. If they can sort it out, they might have a chance to give Arsenal some trouble in the new season.”

Zhan Jun nodded as he listened, finally saying, ”Alright, that concludes the broadcast of this match. The award ceremony will follow shortly.”

...

Over ten minutes later, on a podium in the center of Wembley Stadium’s stands, Wenger, having removed his suit jacket, appeared with Arsenal’s players.

They waved to Arsenal fans in the stands with smiles, clapping to celebrate winning the Community Shield Cup.

This England ’Super Cup’ championship came a bit easily, without much struggle during the process.

However, their feelings are no different from winning an important championship, because it encapsulates their top performance in the Premier League last season, and the image of their return after the previous Champions League victory.

”Thanks.”

Not long after, Ma’el received the Community Shield Cup from a staff member; a trophy with a radius of just over 20 cm, likely crafted from sterling silver, with beautiful engravings.

This is his first trophy as Arsenal captain, bearing a special significance without a doubt.

”Ohhhh.....!!”

Without any further lead-in, he roared as he held the trophy and charged into the podium full of Arsenal players, raising the cup high at the center position, ”Aaaahh....!!”

”Puff puff puff.....!”

Silver ribbons danced like angelic figures, landing not only on the jubilant Arsenal players’ heads but also on those in need of help.

The Community Shield Cup was originally named the Charity Shield, with all proceeds from the match going towards charitable causes, reflecting football’s social responsibility and humanitarian concern!

”Champions!!”

On the podium, Ma’el, with spirited enthusiasm, held the trophy aloft, laughing and shaking his arms, ”Come on! Let’s celebrate wholeheartedly!!”

”Ohhhh.....!!” The others joyfully bounced around him, with even Wenger, in formal attire, jumping twice and swinging his red tie.

They hope this championship brings them good fortune for the new season!

”Arsenal..... are champions!!” Zhan Jun’s hoarse shout soon echoed through the broadcast studio, a sound to seal the joy of today’s Chinese fans in their memories.

After the match, inside a hall at Wembley Stadium, dozens of journalists set up their cameras, waiting for a superstar to arrive.

”Click click.....!” As photographers rapidly pressed their shutters, a smiling Ma’el appeared at the door, holding a commemorative ball for scoring four goals in a match.

”Would you say that penalty is no longer a regret now?” A journalist raised the question.

Ma’el raised his eyebrows and shook his head optimistically, ”The moment I learned my rating was ten after the match, it was no longer a regret.

”The only pity is letting Van Persie down a bit since he could have scored a goal too.

”But that’s how my teammates are... with the help of Van Persie and Gilbert, I managed to score four goals today.”

”Are there any other regrets from today?” another journalist asked.

”Uh.....” Ma’el pondered seriously before, looking at the ball in his hand, jokingly asking, ”Hat-tricks are commemorated with a match ball, why isn’t there a special keepsake for scoring four goals?

”Maybe let me dig up a chunk of Wembley Stadium’s grass or tear a piece of leather from the coaches’ seats.”

”Hahaha.....!” The reporters laughed together; they could tell Ma’el was joking.

”If you really want a piece of grass and leather seat, I think the organizers would agree,” one journalist responded with a laugh.

Ma’el shrugged and didn’t reply, soon noticing a staff member approaching with a small trophy, presumably for the best player of the final.

Excitement filled him; even though he had known a perfect rating would secure this trophy, the confirmation still brought a satisfying joy.

”Congratulations.”

”Thank you.”

Ma’el accepted the trophy and, boastingly, lifted it alongside the commemorative ball, tilting his head to prompt photographers to capture the moment.

”Hahaha.....!” Hearing the laughter around him, he grinned contentedly, these sounds being part of today’s memories.

With this, among the four main English football championships, he has already won three!

Only the FA Cup remains!

Moreover, his three trophies differ from others; he won each as a core player and MVP.

Aside from missing the Premier League Assist King title, he has claimed all individual awards across the three tournaments!

Ma’el is very clear that his primary goal this season is winning the FA Cup as top scorer and Final MVP, and achieving the Assist King title in the Premier League.

Securing these titles will complete an unprecedented grand slam in English football, marking an important step towards his grand slam in football!
