I’m looking forward to seeing the championship fireworks and to fireworks filling the sky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When asked about the goals for this season in the Champions League, he thought for a long time before replying: \"In my first year here, the priority is to adapt. I hope to engage with strong teams from various countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Specific goals will depend on the team’s condition and my ability at the time. I hope to push forward as much as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you thought about how many goals you want to score in this stadium? Throughout your career?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope to score in the three digits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not four digits?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha.....!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the interview, Ma’el returned to the locker room and celebrated with his teammates for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then went up to the box area of the stadium and found Isabella and Gilbert, who had been waiting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My friend is a big star.\" Isabella warmly spread her arms, choosing a novel-like opening line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma’el walked up with a smile and said as he hugged Isabella, \"Then... is my friend a lady of fortune?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should be a boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella raised her head, somewhat proudly: \"Don’t forget, your endorsement with my brand isn’t over yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, she remembered something, \"I heard from Mendes that you signed with Puma? I don’t have a problem with it, but would Puma mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would their non-compete agreement include our kind of small sports brand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma’el hadn’t thought about this, but he wasn’t worried, \"If they minded, they should have mentioned it to me long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no real competition relationship, and since I have a contract with them, if they wanted to secure me earlier, they wouldn’t nitpick over this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s good.\" Isabella nodded, smiling, and patted Ma’el with a smile that held a few complex shades, \"In the future, there might be no money to sign a big star like you; you’re becoming famous too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But thinking about it, being friends with someone like you isn’t bad either. I’ll quietly support you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma’el reached out and high-fived her, considering both the first substantial endorsement and as the daughter of Sheffield’s owner; Isabella still held a major place in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he hardly attended parties or social events at the moment. Apart from Safina, Isabella was his only female friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Isabella’s face, he sincerely said, \"I hope your brand grows bigger and bigger. You mentioned wanting to buy a football team; I actually want the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I retire in the future and have a lot of money, I’ll buy a team to experience the feeling of being a club owner. Haha... who knows, I might even pick up the coaching role, and our teams might meet on the field.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s interesting to think about.\" Isabella looked hopeful, leaning on the railing and looking at the Westfalen Stadium, said: \"Hmm... thanks to your rapidly rising fame, the company will grow bigger and bigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fortunate to have met you during the startup period and having the courage to sign an endorsement deal with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the most difficult first year, the future path will be much smoother, with you taking it from zero to one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two.....\" Gilbert, who had been standing next to them, was less excited and helplessly said, \"Are you going to talk here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha.\" Ma’el laughed and shook his head, then walked over to his good brother and hugged him, \"You’ve been quiet, keeping a low profile.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilbert clicked his tongue, looking at Ma’el, wearing a wet Arsenal shirt, and for once, seriously said: \"Luckily, I went to Sheffield United with you and became friends there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, I’d be afraid of being sidelined by a big shot like you when I return to the team in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could that be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma’el smiled as he put his arm around Gilbert, then hooked Isabella’s arm, with a hint of mischief, pointing to the field: \"Look, what’s that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s the kingdom your king has conquered for you.\" Ma’el’s expression was bold as he gestured at the grand field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilbert: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s been a few months and your joke level hasn’t improved, but you’ve added a bit of awkwardness.\" Gilbert commented sharply, not holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But my skills have improved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma’el didn’t mind; he just wanted to play a cringy joke on the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He patted his chest and turned to leave, \"See you in London, the team has to gather and set off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his confident back, Gilbert shook his head, unsure what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, kind of.\" Isabella suddenly asked, her eyes always on the number on Ma’el’s back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about how he was dominating the field in that jersey and then looking at the person so close now... she felt a bit of a disconnect, but a kind of fascinating disconnect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilbert initially didn’t know what Isabella meant, but upon realizing, rolled his eyes: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he part of their role-play? Who are these people around him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just kidding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella giggled mischievously, teasing: \"I didn’t get a chance to get back at Ma’el for teasing me earlier, so I’ll get back at you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma’el boarded the charter flight back to London that night. There was no need to stay another day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late at night, he returned home and opened his social media to check the reactions to the match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t the most trending topic; Ronaldo, Messi, Di Maria, who scored the winning goal, and Villa, with the overhead goal, occupied the media headlines.\u003C\u002Fp>",937,"2026-06-03T06:44:03.644Z","2026-06-03T06:44:07.339Z",1,"novelbin.me","2e0bd310460560f2fc75b73b6d28c7e1428fd9af186ec12668d755c2ae12f4d0","from-arsenal-to-the-ball-god-chapter-271","from-arsenal-to-the-ball-god-chapter-269",391,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-arsenal-to-the-ball-god-cover.jpg"]
