Arsène Arsène Wenger, who was on the sidelines, saw Fly make adjustments and felt another wave of admiration.
Players who can exercise subjective initiative on the field and change their playing style according to the actual situation...
...are all individuals with extremely high football IQ.
It's clear that Fly is just such a player.
Compared to visible hard talents like speed, dribbling skill, and exquisite shooting...
...invisible soft talents like football IQ are what Arsène Arsène Wenger values more.
In his eyes, Fly is undoubtedly a player who possesses both soft and hard talents.
Only such players will truly become the future of Arsenal.
Because their ceiling is very high; when the core players' ceiling is high, the ceiling of the entire team will follow suit.
Fly didn't know that his self-adjustment against Samba was being praised by Arsène Arsène Wenger on the sidelines.
In the 20th minute of the match.
The golden opportunity finally arrived.
Fabregas intercepted Grella's football in the middle and immediately passed the ball to Walcott.
Walcott accelerated immediately after receiving the ball, with Ryan retreating step by step.
About 35 yards from the goal, Walcott threaded the ball to Fly, who was at the edge of the penalty area, and then made a frantic run into the box without the ball.
Fly understood perfectly; upon receiving the ball, he passed it directly into the empty space ahead without stopping.
Samba stepped forward, about to use his body to shove Fly away, but found the football had already zipped past him, about 10 centimeters from his thigh.
Walcott, having beaten the offside trap, received the football and was through on goal.
Facing the rushing Robinson, Walcott shot directly without adjusting.
The football arced like a rainbow into the net.
"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"
"Number 14, Walcott!!!"
"In the 20th minute of the match, Fabregas made a crucial interception in midfield, Walcott played a one-two with Fly, broke into the box, and was through on goal!"
"Goalkeeper Robinson was helpless and could only sigh in despair."
"1-0, Arsenal take the lead away from home!!!"
Seeing the guy he had just threatened deliver an assist right in front of him...
...Samba felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a pile of shit.
"Damn brat, you just wait!"
Samba was determined to make Fly pay!
After the celebration, the match restarted.
Blackburn Rovers wanted to take advantage of Arsenal's slight psychological relaxation after scoring to sneak a goal.
But the experienced Arsenal certainly wouldn't give them that chance.
After the tactic of a quick start failed, the rhythm of the match returned to Arsenal's control.
Fly still followed the same playing style as before, avoiding excessive physical contact with the Blackburn Rovers defenders.
He frequently dropped back into midfield to create distance from Samba and others.
Samba found that Fly, as a forward, was practically playing like a midfielder.
He felt quite frustrated.
Although he could be physical with a forward, there was no way he could be physical with a midfielder!
Samba's overly strong physique meant his movement speed was not fast.
Similarly, if he was led around by the opponent for a long time, his stamina would deplete quickly.
These objective reasons meant Samba could only watch as Fly commanded the midfield area.
In the 28th minute of the match.
Fly dropped back to combine with Fabregas, then immediately played a through ball to Arshavin on the left side of the pitch.
The Tsar faced Blackburn Rovers' right-back Salgado, performing a sharp stop and then changing direction to dribble.
But Salgado was not a raw rookie; he immediately called on Givet to double-team Arshavin with him.
Arshavin found his dribbling routes blocked, so he quickly passed the ball back to Fly.
Upon receiving the ball, Fly immediately played a chipped pass forward; Clichy, who had pushed up to the left-wing position, received the ball easily.
Then he swept the ball across the face of the goal.
Phil Jones cleared the ball to safety just before Walcott could get to it.
Fabregas ran to where the ball landed, controlled it, and then played a short pass to Fly.
As soon as Fly received the ball, he felt the black muscular figure charging towards him from behind like a wild bull.
So he immediately moved the ball away.
Diaby received the ball and then passed it back to Fabregas.
Fabregas observed briefly before receiving the ball, then immediately played a through ball to the right-front.
Suddenly, Sagna appeared in the previously empty space, having made a forward run.
Sagna didn't hesitate after receiving the ball, immediately delivering a 45-degree cross to Arshavin's head.
Arshavin was being held by Givet at the waist, preventing him from getting full power.
Thus, the weak header went straight back into Robinson's arms.
Robinson kicked the ball long; Song won the aerial duel near the center circle, and the ball was controlled by Diaby.
Diaby passed the ball back to Sagna, who this time chose not to cross but instead played a long diagonal ball to the left flank.
Clichy received the ball and played a wall pass with Arshavin, then made a run into the box.
Facing the combined defense of Salgado and Givet...
...Clichy swept the ball directly towards the penalty spot.
Fly appeared like a flash of lightning on the trajectory of the ball.
Before Samba and Phil Jones could react, Fly had already completed a first-time shot.
Facing a shot from such close range, Robinson was helpless and could only watch the ball Fly into the net.
"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"
"Number 13, Fly!!!"
"It's that boy again! After assisting Walcott's goal, he has also scored his first goal of the match."
"Currently, Arsenal lead Blackburn Rovers 2-0 away, extending their advantage."
"Since the start of the Premier League season, this boy, Fly, has scored in every match."
"Currently, in the Premier League top scorers list, Fly Adams is temporarily at the top with 6 goals in 3 matches!"
"Andy, do you think Fly has a chance to win the Premier League Golden Boot this season?"
Hearing his partner's question, Andy Gray thought for a few seconds, then shook his head, saying with an uncertain tone:
"I don't know. The League has only played three rounds. It's too early to talk about the Premier League Golden Boot now."
"Whether Fly can win the Premier League Golden Boot depends on his future performance."
"After all, this is the Premier League, the most difficult League in the world."
"Fly's current standout performance is largely because other Premier League teams don't know enough about him yet."
"As the League progresses, more and more teams will certainly study him and target him."
"At that time, whether Fly can maintain his current goal-scoring efficiency is a big question mark."
Martin Tyler didn't refute the statement but asked another question:
"Then how many League goals do you think Fly can score by the end of this season?"
Facing this question, Andy Gray answered without hesitation:
"Around 20, no more than 25 at most."
"You know, this is the Premier League, the world's top League. For a young player to score 20 goals in his first professional season is already a remarkable achievement."
"In Cristiano Ronaldo's first few seasons at Manchester United, his single-season League goals never exceeded 10!"
As if to prove the correctness of his prediction, Andy specifically presented the statistics of Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the two kings of football today, from his first few seasons at Manchester United.
Martin Tyler, however, felt Andy's prediction was wrong and sang a different tune: "No, Fly and Cristiano Ronaldo cannot be compared."
"At least the 18-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo was nowhere near the current Fly."
"Back then, Cristiano Ronaldo was just a bicycle-skill teenager who showed off all sorts of tricks on the field..."
"Neither his position on the field nor his goal-scoring efficiency is comparable to the current Fly."
"I think Fly can win the Premier League Golden Boot this season, and his goal count will not be less than 25; it's even possible to reach 30."
