From Arsenal to the Ball God

Sure, here is the translation of the provided Chinese text:

"Of course, the most important thing is that I’ve enriched my arsenal with more scoring methods... The Premier League is a tough league, and scoring 40 goals here shows my progress.

"As for the downside, I think I’ve neglected the joys of everyday life, but there’s no other choice. I must focus on improving myself while young to build a stronger competitive edge.

"Compared to what I aspire to have, I’m not there yet."

"....."

"How do you plan to celebrate the end of the season? Will you get completely drunk with your teammates?"

"Haha... If we go undefeated through 38 rounds this season, I think we will. Van Persie mentioned he’d invite us to a party, and we’re waiting for him to fulfill that promise."

"....."

"What’s it like working with Wenger? Did he cry today?"

"It’s great. When you have a chance to work with someone you saw on TV during childhood, you live every day motivated... Not to mention achieving great success with him.

"Today he....."

Ma’el was about to speak when he suddenly felt two hands on his shoulders giving him a squeeze.

He turned to see Mr. Wenger had come over, gesturing ’shush’ to him.

"Haha...!"

The two exchanged smiles as Ma’el abruptly stopped speaking.

"Click click...!" At that moment, the media photographers frantically clicked their shutters, capturing the scene and placing it as the evening’s headline.

In the picture, Wenger wore a loving smile, and his gesture of placing his hands on Ma’el’s shoulders gave the impression of youthful vigor, as if they were peers and good friends.

This master and apprentice duo conveyed more than just partnership vibes; to put it grandly, there was a touch of destiny to it.

"Arsenal soundly defeated Manchester City 3-0! Clinched the Premier League championship two rounds early! Fireworks feast dedicated to the champions at the Emirates Stadium!" —— L’Equipe France

"If Wenger is King Arthur guarding Arsenal, then he finally found his Lancelot this season! Ma’el delivered an epic performance!" —— Daily Mail UK

"Arsenal finally found their captain. Though this captain is young, he will lead Arsenal to glory!" —— Asi Bao Spain

That night, the news of Arsenal winning the title again after 7 years dominated all social media headlines, with discussions about Ma’el and Wenger going wild among the fans.

This fervor might be hard to stop for some time, and it would also spread to many places, sparking wave after wave of fan mania.

...

From the next day, the foot traffic surged around the Emirates Stadium, with many visiting to pay tribute and browse the club’s fan store, buying club merchandise.

Originally thought to be just a small wave of enthusiasm, but as May arrived, visitors only increased, and the fan store gradually saw non-stop crowds throughout the day.

"Give me a Ma’el’s one!"

"Will there be a championship commemorative jersey?"

"Yes, but it takes time, it’s already being designed, hope everyone likes it."

"Don’t push, let’s move slowly; you can wait a bit outside the door!"

"Can you print Ma’el’s name and number 31? I’d like a jersey from when he first joined the club as a keepsake."

"No problem!"

"Is there a Ma’el mug? Or any other products, why only jerseys?"

"Because of portrait rights issues, not for now, but the club is resolving it, maybe there’ll be more in a few days."

"....."

A mass of tourists sought Ma’el jerseys, with the printing machine constantly working, risking breakdown at any moment.

The Arsenal Club quickly adjusted the store hours from 9 AM to 5 PM to 7 AM to 10 PM and hired more new staff to assist with the work.

Their manufacturers of peripheral products also started working overtime to prevent the supply from falling short of demand.

Yet, this still didn’t keep pace with fan purchases, and by May 2, jerseys were gradually running out, even PV/PU printing materials faced shortages, requiring a special buy-in.

On May 3rd, at the Korni Training Base, within the team chairman’s office.

Rarely seen due to health reasons, Arsenal chairman Hillwood appeared here, summoning Wenger and other key team members to discuss the club’s future direction.

The Hillwood family has always chaired Arsenal; this is already the third generation... but no one knows how much longer he will remain in the position.

"Take a look."

He pointed to the documents on the table, seemingly bearing great news to share with everyone.

Wenger picked up the document and browsed it, quickly showing surprise and then delight in his eyes.

April 29th, foot traffic 3.5k, sales 70k pounds; April 30th, foot traffic 4.9k, sales 110k pounds; May 1st, foot traffic 6.3k, sales 180k pounds; May 2nd.....

This is the recent data on fan store foot traffic and sales; the stats everyone had long awaited.

"I thought it would be high, but I didn’t expect it to double so much."

Wenger put down the document and smiled, "Maybe these sales won’t last long, but even if future figures drop a bit, continuing monthly around 1.5 million pounds, it’s still significant income."

Hillwood tapped his knuckles on the table, sharing his thoughts: "Arsenal is a team with long-term brand value. As long as we ensure first-team results, these numbers won’t dip too much.
