Leave some extra transfer funds so Wenger can buy more players next season, I'm quite looking forward to Ma'el.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, most Arsenal fans expressed their support for this matter, only a small portion condemned Ma'el's actions, probably fans of Fabregas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This issue gradually passed, and the turmoil slowly subsided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However... the image of Arsenal's two mavericks is definitely rooted in the fans' minds and will never leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the incident, their names became more known, and many people want to follow the performances of these two 'fearless' young players in the new season.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Ma'el and Gilbert received a call from an assistant coach at the hotel, informing them they were suspended from training for a week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was essentially a symbolic punishment... It could be seen as an early vacation for them, as it was exactly 7 days until June 1st.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ma'el.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way to additional training on the field, Gilbert turned and asked: \"Do you think Mr. Wenger will support us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma'el shook his head; after all, Wenger had been with Fabregas for eight years, he couldn't feel comfortable about this, \"But he doesn't oppose us either; you can tell from the degree of punishment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think so too.\" Gilbert smiled faintly, his face slightly red, recalling how he cried yesterday when angered by Fabregas; he still felt a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he have been so cowardly at the time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just because the opponent was a superstar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back now, fighting back wasn't a big deal...
