He directly donned the Arsenal first team jersey, standing at the Emirates Stadium against Liverpool's first team!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same representing Arsenal, the same facing Liverpool, but representing a world of difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Dalglish's team, worth hundreds of millions of euros, with many in the lineup famous across European football!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the 6th minute of the match, Liverpool's winger Tang Ning cut in, shook off Vermaelen, and unleashed a highly threatening curved ball dipping shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ball raced towards the far corner of the goal, tricky in angle, yet lacking a bit of height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Szczeny dove swiftly, with remarkable reflexes... Astonishingly, he not only successfully saved but tightly clutched the ball with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A brilliant save!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the broadcast studio, Zhan Jun maintained his professional poise as a commentator, offering praise for the home team's opponent: \"Szczeny helps Arsenal regain possession! He quickly rises, ready to launch a fast attack with a throw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There's a considerable space in Liverpool's backfield, all their players are pressing in Arsenal's half! This is a great chance for a counter-attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Szczeny, throws to Jenkinson! The left-back's first start this season!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Arsenal's left wing, Jenkinson controls the ball, instantly pushes it forward, accelerating towards Liverpool's backfield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey!\" Liverpool's defensive midfielder Lucas quickly closes in on him, compresses his passing space toward the center, and looks for a chance to intercept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ma'el!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jenkinson, having no choice, resolutely dribbles forward, calling out for Ma'el to come back and receive the pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Ma'el was already running back, just looking for a gap to receive the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thud!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under growing pressure, Jenkinson can barely target Ma'el's general position, pushing a ground ball forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pass wasn't perfect, forming a 50-50 ball between Ma'el and the opponent's left-back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mine!!\" A roar sounded behind Ma'el, Martin Kelly pushing off to start, aiming to get the ball before Ma'el.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew his speed was unlikely to match Ma'el's, so he opted to use his body for leverage from the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma'el wore a serious expression, aware of Martin Kelly's strong physical confrontation ability, needing to go all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The confrontation unfolded right under Dalglish's nose, harboring both expectation and tension, though he internally acknowledged Ma'el's impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those words at the press conference aimed more to motivate his players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or perhaps, to some extent, he believed Martin Kelly's defensive toughness could stop Ma'el... but he wasn't entirely sure, not fully confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\" The confrontation happened swiftly, their shoulders clashing hard, producing a dull thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, even Ma'el felt his organs inside shaking, the opponent's power was incredible, almost as much as his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, his lower body remained stable, not losing balance, proceeding to control and turn with the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Martin Kelly wasn't so lucky, bounced away nearly a meter, losing much of his balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing, feeling Ma'el's burst of power at that moment... Martin Kelly's eyes filled with shock, regaining his balance, trying to grab Ma'el's jersey to stop him from accelerating forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Dalglish was genuinely startled, scanning the vulnerable backline with increasing tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey!\" Instinctively waving his hands, he pressured the referee, hoping the previous clash went unnoticed and would be called a foul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This situation is common on the pitch, coaches occasionally employing underhanded tactics for every team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, achieving victory and earning points, bringing joy to the fans, is the most important thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However soon, Dalglish saw Martin Kelly reaching out to grab Ma'el's jersey... he quickly lowered his hands, sealed his mouth shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to retract just in time, as being posted online would paint him as complaining about his own player Martin Kelly's foul, a peculiar behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recognizing Martin Kelly's intention for a tactical foul, Ma'el stopped advancing, instead striking a curved over-the-head pass along the opponent's backline, aiming for the forward-running Van Persie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level 3 Observation enabled him to discern Van Persie's movement intention during the confrontation, making him realize they couldn't forfeit this attacking opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Level 4 Curved Trajectory Guidance gave him the confidence to boldly employ his passing technique under pressure, penetrating the opponent's defense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This could very well be a threatening pass, creating a scoring opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under tens of thousands of expectant gazes, the ball soared rapidly, tracing a curve over Liverpool's defensive line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a picture-perfect pass, denying any Liverpool defender a header clearance chance, curving straight towards Van Persie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great ball!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Liverpool's defense, Van Persie bypassed center-back Kagura, swiftly charging towards the ball's landing spot, exclaiming excitedly, \"Love you, Ma'el!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agger! Agger!\" Seeing he couldn't keep up with Van Persie, Liverpool center-back Kagura called for the other center-back to chase back, while he angled himself to cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pop!\" Van Persie, seamlessly controlling the ball at high speed, continued charging into the opponent's penalty area without the slightest deceleration.\u003C\u002Fp>",817,"2026-06-03T06:44:03.644Z","2026-06-03T06:44:07.339Z",1,"novelbin.me","0adbacfd5a27aeff6ca2f6fc0f6a675b72c2667365ef430eb0107dc8f1cc1dfc","from-arsenal-to-the-ball-god-chapter-178","from-arsenal-to-the-ball-god-chapter-177",391,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-arsenal-to-the-ball-god-cover.jpg"]
