The next day, Ma'el and Gilbert arrived at Sheffield United's training base to test their top running speed.
Most of their familiar teammates and coaches had already left the club, but through contacts, they managed to find two overtime-working football data analysts.
"What's there to test?"
Gilbert couldn't understand Ma'el's curiosity and complained all the way: "Your speed is excellent, mine is above average, isn't that enough to know?"
Ma'el looked at him and chuckled, "I've been training for almost half a year, what if I've made progress?"
In fact, he mainly wanted to have a clear understanding of his current speed ability before returning to Arsenal.
To see where a Level 4 speed stands in the football world.
Unlike abilities like long shots that cannot be accurately measured, speed ability is definitely measurable.
Ma'el often saw media reports on data networks about which star player had reached a top running speed of such and such km/h.
