Borussia Dortmund have failed to defend their home ground, and the resilient Gunners once again claim victory over another European heavyweight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martin Taylor said as the final whistle blew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From start to finish, Arsenal's discipline and organization had been remarkable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Solid in defense, ruthless on the counter — they controlled the game almost entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dortmund tried everything to crack Arsenal's structure, but they never truly came close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this fierce midfield battle, Arsenal had emerged as clear winners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brilliant stuff!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai shouted with a grin, and laughter broke out among the Arsenal players as they hugged and cheered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After toppling Bayern Munich, they'd now conquered Borussia Dortmund — another milestone in their European run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what thrilled them even more was how much better they'd played compared to their group stage performances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lovely finish again, Luis!\" Kai grinned, patting Suarez on the shoulder just as Szczęsny walked over with a wide smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should really quit smoking, mate,\" Kai teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Szczęsny chuckled. \"If every match went like this, I wouldn't need a cigarette to calm down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oi, are you saying our defense used to give you stress?\" Koscielny shot back with mock outrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't say that,\" Szczęsny shrugged, \"but you did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room burst into laughter. Even Koscielny couldn't help but grin sheepishly — they all knew he wasn't entirely wrong. Before Kai's arrival, Arsenal's defense had been a bit of a shambles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" Kai said finally, waving an arm. \"Let's head back. The Dortmund fans won't be too happy if we start celebrating on their turf.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team laughed and followed him toward the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the dressing room, the celebrations continued — singing, clapping, even a few dance moves — before Wenger returned from the press conference. Only then did they start preparing for the flight back to London.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, Wenger would give them a day off after such a big European win. But not this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Premier League title race was still tight, and Arsenal couldn't afford to relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, the mood was electric. They were exhausted but elated — because, after all, who doesn't love the Champions League nights?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, European headlines were painted red and white:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrifying Gunners! Consecutive Wins Over Last Season's Champions League Finalists!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bundesliga's New Nemesis!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arsenal's performance had finally earned full recognition across Europe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After beating Bayern, many doubted whether they could maintain that level. They saw Arsenal as promising, but not yet capable of contending for the Champions League.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, those doubts were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First Bayern. Then Dortmund.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how strong the opposition, Arsenal were bulldozing through them with authority and precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the center of it all was Kai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against Dortmund's talented midfield, including Reus and company, he had been everywhere — intercepting, pressing, dictating tempo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Germany's Kicker magazine even dedicated a feature to him, headlined:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Terrifying Ball-Winning Machine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their article read:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyone who has watched Arsenal in the Champions League will understand this — Arsenal have a wall, a relentless ball-winning machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We often doubt the hype from British media about their 'next big thing,' but in Kai's case, there's no exaggeration whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His performance tonight was the decisive factor in Dortmund's defeat. When Arsenal's ball-winning machine gets into gear, no attacking line can withstand the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenger deserves immense credit — he lost his captain and midfield anchor not long ago, yet within two years, he's developed an even more formidable successor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the old Arsenal were a gunslinger's team, the new Arsenal is a German tank with a sports car engine — a strange but thrilling combination.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kicker rarely opened special columns for young players — the last one, notably, had been for Paul Pogba.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that any young player featured in Kicker's special column wasn't just talented — they represented genuine long-term potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while Kicker was a German outlet, its reporting remained notably fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no over-the-top hype, no deliberate bias — just honest football journalism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same couldn't be said for the British press. They had already elevated Kai to near-mythical status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the most commercially driven football nation in the world, the British media knew exactly how to draw attention — and revenue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could smell a headline the way a shark smells blood in water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right now, Kai was the biggest story in English football.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 20-year-old midfield prodigy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain of one of England's biggest clubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dominating both the Premier League and the Champions League.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the London media, he was big bucks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, a message from Buckingham Palace sent the entire country into a frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Humility, Justice, Valor, Honesty, Compassion, Sacrifice, Honor, Soul. He is our Knight!\"@LeKai\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tweet came from the Buckingham Palace official account, usually reserved for royal announcements or family photos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wording — poetic, grand, and oddly emotional — stunned everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those eight virtues listed were known as the traditional chivalric code of a knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in football circles, everyone immediately connected the dots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Queen of England — known quietly to be an Arsenal supporter — had just praised the Gunners' young captain in a way that felt almost… ceremonial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speculation spread like wildfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But within hours, the tweet vanished — deleted without explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most believed it had been sent impulsively, perhaps by the Queen herself in a rare moment of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, thousands of screenshots had already been taken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By morning, the nickname was everywhere across Britain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Queen's Knight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want to be any knight!\" Kai groaned, tossing the newspaper aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Arsenal dressing room burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several of his English teammates looked half-jealous, half-amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, mate,\" joked Wilshere. \"You'd look great in a suit of armor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah,\" added Gibbs, \"riding a horse into the Emirates!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai shook his head. \"You lot can keep your armor. Being called an old lady's knight just feels… wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Careful,\" Chamberlain smirked. \"That old lady can take away your labor cert, Captain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More laughter followed, echoing through the locker room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kai could only grin helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, lads! Medical check-ups, let's move!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pat Rice's voice cut through the chatter as he stepped into the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the players got up and headed toward the medical room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the season entered its final stretch, every detail mattered — fitness, recovery, form. Arsenal couldn't afford a single injury now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dr. Gary and his staff carried out the examinations swiftly. The overall results were acceptable — not perfect, but manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the natural toll of a long, intense season. Minor knocks, tight muscles — nothing too alarming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wenger wasn't taking chances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already reduced the training intensity, allowing players more rest and controlled workloads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For once, the Frenchman was in visibly good spirits. Consecutive wins had lifted the weight that had hung over him for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one in football enjoyed losing — least of all Arsène Wenger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, watching his team finally clicking, finally growing into something formidable, he felt vindicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Szczęsny's gesture had moved him — the Polish keeper had walked into his office, placed his lighter and cigarettes on the desk, and said simply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, I'm done with this. I'll quit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wenger had looked up, startled at first. Then, slowly, a smile spread across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good,\" he'd said softly. \"That's a start.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victory had its own kind of addiction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right now, every Arsenal player was hooked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please do leave a review and powerstones, helps with the book's exposure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feel like joining a Patreon for free and subscribing to advanced chapters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visit the link:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[email protected]\u002FGRANDMAESTA_30\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Change @ to a\u003C\u002Fp>",1278,"2026-06-09T07:00:21.491Z",1,"novelbin.me","e731a581ef409801825bea4148ff9326f49d542877b493cd7cc0ebd11724fc3f","foresight-chapter-202","foresight-chapter-50",405,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fforesight-cover.jpg"]
