After Fly's goal, Blackpool's tenth kickoff of the match had just been taken when the Main Referee impatiently blew the whistle for the end of the match.
It was truly too miserable! Even the Main Referee couldn't bear to watch.
Arsène Wenger watched from the side as both Fly and Walcott completed hat-tricks, and he couldn't help but applaud.
Whether it was Walcott or Fly, this super-rich second generation and genius player.
They were both core players for the future Arsenal in Arsène Wenger's mind!
Adding Fabregas, Wilshere, and Van Persie to the mix.
In Arsène Wenger's heart, the future Arsenal was absolutely something to look forward to!
What he needed to do now was to ensure their physical health as much as possible and let them slowly grow and evolve.
As for the results in the recent seasons, Arsène Wenger didn't have many demands.
As long as they could play in the Champions League every season, that was enough.
It would naturally be best if they could go as far as possible in the knockout stages.
As for the League Cup and FA Cup, Arsène Wenger basically used them as training grounds for new players.
Before Fabregas, Van Persie, and Song collectively defected.
Arsène Wenger hadn't yet transformed into the 'Thermos Cup' master of the future.
Looking at the current Arsenal squad strength across the entire Premier League, it was only slightly inferior to Manchester United and Chelsea.
They had the upper hand against all others!
Arsène Wenger still had ambitions for major tournament results!
Of course, having ambitions is one thing, but this doesn't mean Arsène Wenger is in a hurry to achieve results at this stage.
Ever since seeing Fly's performance in the first team in these few matches, Arsène Wenger was full of confidence in Arsenal's future!
"Everything will get better, Alex, I won't make you wait too long, absolutely not..."
Arsène Wenger made a vow to himself in his heart; he was absolutely unwilling to just withdraw from the rivalry with Sir Alex Ferguson.
He had to let everyone in the United Kingdom know one thing, and that was that Sir Alex Ferguson had only one nemesis in the Premier League.
And that was him, Arsène, Arsène Wenger!
...
Fly on the pitch didn't know that the outwardly gentle and refined Professor suddenly had so much drama going on in his mind!
He just felt completely refreshed right now, after all, playing against weak teams was truly a joyful experience.
After the match, the Main Referee even found Walcott and Fly and asked them who would take the match ball.
After all, it was already a football tradition for the hat-trick scorer to take the match ball.
But now there was a problem; there were two players who completed hat-tricks in this match.
One was Walcott, and the other was Fly.
Facing the referee's question, Fly noticed Walcott's hesitant expression and guessed that the other party wanted to take this football home.
So Fly proactively offered to give the football to Walcott, who had completed his hat-trick first.
Little Tiger felt grateful and said to Fly, "Brother, thanks a lot, I'll treat you to a fruit platter later."
As he spoke, Walcott also made a 'men understand' expression.
Fly didn't react immediately, and then after seeing the lewd expression on Walcott's face, he finally realized what the so-called "fruit platter" referred to.
After understanding the meaning of Walcott's words, Fly immediately righteously refused!
What kind of joke is this?!
Playing this game in front of his girlfriend, Taylor, he truly wasn't afraid of death!
Fly was all too clear that his future global superstar girlfriend was always very strict about this sort of thing!
Trying to cheat on her while dating her was tantamount to seeking death!
At least that kind of good thing where you can still be forgiven by the woman after cheating, when it came to Taylor, there was absolutely no possibility.
If she really encountered such a thing, Taylor would only decisively kick the man out immediately and then write a bunch of songs to diss him.
And so, the man would become famous this way.
Fly said that although he couldn't prevent himself from being written into songs by his girlfriend, he at least couldn't enter the annals with the image of a 'scumbag', right?
He didn't mind his daily relationship life being used as material and written into songs.
Because Fly wouldn't refuse this kind of free publicity!
Moreover, this kind of publicity was positive, unless you were unwilling to expose your private life, otherwise only a fool would refuse!
But for celebrities, there is inherently no right to privacy...
In Fly's view, it was an obligation for celebrities to expose their private lives to the public.
At the very least, as a celebrity, you cannot openly oppose this kind of thing.
Otherwise, what's the difference between that and the ancient courtesans who 'were both prostitutes and wanted to build memorial arches of chastity'?
As a celebrity, since you have already enjoyed the benefits brought by a large amount of attention.
Then naturally, you must also bear the corresponding negative impacts.
Fly was mentally prepared for this; wanting to become the football GOAT, a huge amount of attention was indispensable.
What Fly wanted to do was to try his best to make his public image more positive.
This kind of external image management could also play a significant role in Fly competing for individual honors like the Ballon dOr!
Why were Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo able to win so many Ballons d'Or in their previous lives?
Outstanding individual ability was indeed an undeniable factor.
But the public relations teams behind them, their image marketing, and the resources of the clubs they belonged to.
These were all important reasons why the two of them continuously monopolized the Ballon dOr for ten years!
In Fly's heart, no matter how strong Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were, they couldn't have continuously monopolized the Ballon dOr for ten years.
At least from a purely competitive standpoint, whether it was Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, they both had instances of 'stealing' the Ballon dOr.
Why use the word 'steal'?
It's because some Ballons d'Or, solely based on that year's honors, statistics, and other football competitive aspects, should not have been awarded to the two of them at all.
But there's nothing that can be done; the Ballon dOr, frankly speaking, is similar in nature to the regular season MVP in the NBA.
They are both the highest individual honors.
At the same time, they are also awards that 'impurely' include various factors.
The winner not only needs to have sufficiently outstanding team honors within a single season or year but also needs to have top-tier individual statistics.
Furthermore, the winner needs to be famous enough!
In the Messi-Ronaldo era, the third parties who competed with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo for the Ballon dOr.
Many times, they were defeated on the point of 'Popularity' (popularity).
Many casual fans around the world who don't follow football or are limited to the once-every-four-years World Cup, their knowledge of footballers is limited to highly famous players like Beckham, Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Many people don't even know the two old football kings, Pelé and Maradona; they've never even heard of them!
Let alone those active players whose fame hasn't broken through the circle?
A player who hasn't broken through the circle competes with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, two players who have broken through the circle, for a 'popularity' award like the Ballon dOr, naturally being at an absolute disadvantage!
This is also the reason why Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo were able to continuously monopolize the Ballon dOr for so many years.
