At the post-match press conference, Arsène Wenger was asked about Varane's mistake. Arsène Wenger was very calm and said:
"We don't need to dwell on that one mistake, because it didn't affect Arsenal's ultimate victory in the match."
"You know, Rafael is only seventeen years old; he has an endless future ahead of him."
"Putting aside that mistake, Rafael performed very well in this match."
"I am very optimistic about his future; he will become Arsenal's future, just like Fly."
Hearing Arsène Wenger proactively mention Fly, the media reporters continued to ask:
"Mr. Arsène, Fly only scored one goal in this match. Does this mean he has hit a rookie wall?"
Upon hearing this, Arsène Wenger showed an expression of "Are you stupid?" and said:
"I don't know since when scoring one goal in a match has become a rookie wall. It seems everyone has very high expectations for Fly!"
"So the question is, since there are such high expectations, why do the vast majority of media outlets believe that Fly's earlier statement about becoming this season's Premier League Golden Boot winner was arrogant?"
"Isn't that contradictory?"
The Fleet Street reporters were also somewhat at a loss when Arsène Wenger questioned them back like this.
Good heavens, they had always been the ones finding fault with others, but this time they were directly counter-attacked.
However, having said that, what Arsène Wenger said wasn't entirely unreasonable.
Why did they unanimously believe Fly was bragging? Thinking carefully, it seems it was only because of his young age.
Other than that, there was no other basis.
But looking back now, on the Premier League top scorers list, Fly is far ahead with eight goals.
The second-placed Drogba has only scored four goals.
Looking at it this way, Fly really has a chance to win this season's Premier League Golden Boot, and even the European Golden Shoe is not impossible.
Thinking of this, the Fleet Street media outlets suddenly exchanged glances.
No way, no way, could it be that the first player in football history to win the League Golden Boot in his first professional season is about to be born?
Are they really going to witness the emergence of an unprecedented legend?
To be honest, many Fleet Street media outlets simply couldn't believe it.
Because it was too much like a mythological story; it shouldn't appear in reality!
But no matter what, Arsène Wenger's words today have been widely reported by various media outlets.
This counter-question even made many media workers truly start thinking.
Since they felt that Fly scoring one goal in a match was a poor performance...
Then why did they still think Fly couldn't win the League Golden Boot?
You know, according to the past goal data for the Premier League Golden Boot, even Alan Shearer's record of 34 goals in a single season...
Divided among each match, it's less than one goal per game.
As a result, Fly scoring one goal in a match was subconsciously considered by the media to mean he had entered a bottleneck period.
This situation of conflicting statements already indicates that Fly's growth rate is simply too rapid.
Leading professional figures, including the media, to not yet have an accurate assessment of his strength, and then Fly got stronger again.
This bizarre situation where others' perception cannot keep up with the player's own increase in strength is the only case in the history of football!
Even Ronaldo back then wasn't this outrageous!
Consequently, news about Fly once again exploded throughout England, and this time even other countries in Europe paid attention.
Because the question raised by their counterparts this time was simply too outrageous!
The Spanish media, German media, Italian media, and French media were very curious about what exactly led their counterparts to ask such an outrageous question as "Is scoring one goal a bottleneck?"
As a result, upon checking, these media outlets were also directly blown away!
What the heck? Eight goals in four League games, two goals per game?
If it were just this, they wouldn't be so shocked!
After all, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo can do it when they are in good form.
But the key is that the person who achieved all this is a super rich second generation who is not yet 18 years old and has just started the first season of his professional career!
This topic element is simply maxed out.
Especially through this news, media outlets in other countries also learned about Fly's interview when he received the Premier League Player of the Month award for August.
When they heard this underage rookie who had just started his professional career pointing fingers at the entire Premier League, and even prematurely claiming the Premier League Golden Boot...
They were even more surprised!
What kind of person would say such arrogant words in front of the media?
Even the notoriously arrogant Ibrahimović in football today...
He wasn't this arrogant and overbearing before he became famous, was he?
At the same time, Fly's rookie performance, which can be described as the most explosive in history, also attracted the attention of some interested players.
....
Spain.
Madrid.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was resting at home, was feeling down because Real Madrid was held to a 0-0 draw by Mallorca at home in the first League match.
At this moment, seeing the news about Fly, he was immediately attracted by the words "eight goals in four games" at first glance.
After browsing through the relevant content, Cristiano Ronaldo let out a long breath, put down the newspaper, and turned to enter the gym.
He had to admit that Fly brought him enormous pressure, even greater than the outside media imagined!
Because he had played in the Premier League for six years and knew how intense the Premier League is!
A forward who can achieve the feat of eight goals in four games in the Premier League is definitely one of the top players in the world!
Combined with the fact that Fly completed the above at the age of less than 18...
His threat to Cristiano Ronaldo instantly reached the peak.
Cristiano Ronaldo would not underestimate Fly just because he hadn't won any honors yet.
Because he asked himself, he couldn't have played such an outrageous performance when he was 18!
Now he was just fortunate that Fly was still young and lacked match experience, making it unrealistic for him to catch up in a short time.
But even so, Cristiano Ronaldo had already placed Fly after Messi, ranking him as his second biggest enemy!
Thinking that his team was currently suppressed by Messi's Barcelona, and an unparalleled super genius had emerged in England...
Cristiano Ronaldo felt the pressure was immense!
He now had to calm himself down through training.
Only by regaining his composure could he rationally think about the path ahead.
"Fly, I hope we can face off soon..."
