Ma’el smiles slightly, accepting the interview invitation gladly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by the staff, he arrives by the advertising boards, surrounded by seven or eight cameras, several microphones pushed to his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From not being noticed to becoming somewhat famous, it only took two matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A staff member hands him a small crystal trophy engraved with ’Championship Man of the Match’, beautifully designed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma’el plays with the crystal trophy, feeling a surge of emotions, this is just the first time, in the future, he will have countless more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wants to collect every award, from Man of the Match to Player of the Month, from Player of the Month to Player of the Season!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then gather all these trophies to create a room of his own honors!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely, any time he looks back in the future, the surge of emotions from when he won will be a beautiful memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you feel?\" a Sky Sports microphone-toting journalist asks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretty good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma’el raises an eyebrow, shrugging with a smile, \"The first time is always memorable, whether it’s the first goal or the Bramall Lane debut, both are impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And when they happen together, it’s unforgettable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sky Sports journalist nods, stepping back with a smile, while a BBC reporter thrusts a microphone forward, \"Four rounds into the season, with 2 goals and 3 assists, in such little playing time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your goal for this season? Or do you have any expectations for your personal performance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma’el thinks for a moment, then looks around the fans’ stands, saying indulgently, \"I hope to win more games, the feeling of winning is addictive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for personal goals, I’ll set a small one first, I hope to achieve 10 league goals and 10 league assists.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This remark startles many journalists, double ten statistics... it’s a big declaration, young people do dare to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ma’el’s earnest expression, a reporter pursues further, \"It’s a nice goal, but have you considered that maybe your early success is because opponents don’t know you well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If all teams have studied you thoroughly, it won’t be easy to score or assist in the Championship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma’el nods, brushing his hair before answering with a smile, \"But have you thought, it’s impossible for me to stand still, I will definitely improve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he raises the crystal trophy in his hand, squeezing through the journalists, \"Thank you, you will see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many journalists turn to watch his back, a figure exuding youthful exuberance, a sense of invincibility.\u003C\u002Fp>",1173,"2026-06-03T06:44:03.366Z","2026-06-03T06:44:07.060Z",1,"novelbin.me","65cbb556b74e0f91071d81c17cee3d5a909911c69cfd7573f9d7372566430e75","from-arsenal-to-the-ball-god-chapter-41","from-arsenal-to-the-ball-god-chapter-39",391,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-arsenal-to-the-ball-god-cover.jpg"]
