"Beep!"
Not long after, with the referee's whistle, this 19th-round Premier League match officially kicked off at Bramall Lane Stadium.
"Boom!" Evans kicked off from the center circle. Today, they deployed a 5-4-1 defensive formation, fully prepared for counter-attacks.
Ma'el crossed the halfway line, rushing towards the opponent's backfield to steal the ball amidst cheers from both fans.
The decisive battle has arrived!
...
On the sidelines, Wenger put his arm around Gilbert's neck. The latter wasn't wearing a jersey today, so the gesture didn't seem awkward.
"In the latter part of the first half, your goals and assists decreased a lot, but interceptions increased. Are you intentionally developing in that direction?"
He chuckled, looking at this outstanding representative of Arsenal's youth academy, a star who stepped out of the Korni Base alongside Ma'el. Even though they progressed at different speeds, they are both considered Arsenal's hopes.
"Yes."
