Chapter 93 - Chapter 92 Averaging five goals per game, will Arsenal soar this season?

"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"

"Number 13, Fly Adams!"

"This kid's penalty kicks are incredibly steady. Another low shot right along the grass into the corner."

"Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart gave his absolute best, but he still couldn't stop the ball from finding the net."

"This is the finishing ability of a top striker!"

"Arsenal originally lacked a top striker, so Arsène always had Fabregas as the team's primary penalty taker."

"Now that Fly is here, Fabregas has willingly given up the penalty-taking duties."

"This shows that the current Arsenal team is very united, which is crucial for a strong team aiming for the championship."

"I believe this season's Arsenal is the closest they've been to the Premier League title since the 03-04 Invincibles season."

Hearing Martin Taylor's assessment of Arsenal this season, Andy Gray thought for a moment and chose to be conservative, saying:

"That still depends on Arsenal's future performance, after all, Arsenal's squad depth is still a bit lacking."

"Once the team enters an injury crisis, their performance is very likely to plummet, leading to a season collapse."

"This has happened in past seasons."

"Furthermore, Arsenal still needs to play Manchester United once to truly gauge where this current Arsenal team stands in European football."

When Fly's penalty went in, Arsenal was already leading Manchester City 3:0.

Keep in mind, the first half wasn't even over yet, and Manchester City was already three goals down.

Unless Arsenal transforms into AC Milan and Manchester City becomes possessed by Liverpool.

Otherwise, a comeback is basically a pipe dream.

But can a mercenary team like Manchester City, built by money, become Liverpool?

To be honest, it's almost impossible.

Let alone this current Manchester City, even the 'Guardiola-era Manchester City' ten years from now performed very poorly when trailing!

How much more so this purely mercenary team?

Fly clearly felt that after he scored Arsenal's third goal, the expressions on the faces of many Manchester City players relaxed, giving the illusion that *they* were the ones leading 3:0.

It was clear that the Manchester City players had lost heart after seeing their team fall behind 0:3 before halftime.

Fly thought losing heart was great; he loved dealing with opponents who had lost heart the most.

At this moment, for a striker, it was definitely a great opportunity to rack up stats.

Time waits for no one, so why not start scoring?

Fly could only accept it with an embarrassed smile; Manchester City was too hospitable, he really couldn't resist!

After the second half began, Fly immediately started his mode of frantic forward runs and relentless shooting.

During halftime, he had already agreed with Fabregas and others that they should play the ball forward whenever there was an opportunity, and he guaranteed he would make the run.

In the 52nd minute of the match.

Manchester City substituted Emmanuel Adebayor for Tevez.

In the 55th minute of the match.

Fly received a cross from Arshavin near the edge of the penalty area, a feint shifted Richards' weight, and then his shot hit the crossbar, Manchester City narrowly escaping.

In the 59th minute of the match.

Fly received the ball again at the top of the box and took a long shot, which Joe Hart parried away. Arshavin's follow-up shot was blocked by Jerome Boateng, and Arsenal won a corner kick.

In the 60th minute of the match.

Fabregas took the corner kick, and the ball flew into the Manchester City box but was cleared by Yaya Touré.

In the 64th minute of the match.

Emmanuel Adebayor received a through ball from David Silva, muscled past Varane's defense, and forced a shot, which hit the left post and went out for a goal kick.

In the 66th minute of the match.

Alexandre Song's thunderous long-range shot from outside the box once again made Joe Hart the 'background board for a worldie'.

"GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"

"Number 17, Alexandre Song!!!"

"What a spectacular long shot! Alexandre Song, from thirty yards out, scored a world-class goal almost right into the top corner."

"Joe Hart stretched his body to the absolute limit, but he still couldn't stop the ball from flying into the net."

"Arsenal now leads Manchester City 4:0. Who could have imagined before the match that what was expected to be a closely contested battle would turn into a one-sided slaughter!"

"It's too brutal! This match is Manchester City's worst defeat of the season, bar none!"

"Arsenal's performance this season is incredible! So far, they have scored a total of 62 goals in thirteen matches across all competitions, averaging 4.8 goals per game. This is simply miraculous!"

"And this goal tally could potentially increase, as there is still time left in this match. Can Arsenal score more goals?"

Countless viewers watching the match on television were stunned when they heard Martin Taylor announce Arsenal's average goals per game this season!

To be honest, although everyone knew that Arsenal had a very strong start this season, beating everyone and slaughtering opponents with large scorelines was not uncommon.

But they really didn't expect Arsenal's average goals per game to reach an absurd level of nearly five goals!

Keep in mind, among other strong teams in the Premier League, Chelsea has played fourteen matches this season and scored a total of 38 goals.

Manchester United has also played fourteen matches, scoring a total of 30 goals.

The currently recognized strongest team in Europe, the Dream Three Barcelona, has scored a total of 27 goals in the thirteen matches they have played this season.

José Mourinho's second-generation Galácticos, Real Madrid, has also scored a total of 27 goals in the eleven matches they have played this season.

Compared to these four teams, Arsenal's statistic of 62 goals in thirteen matches is simply 'inhuman'.

Of course, the main reason for all this was also very clear to the audience.

It was because Arsenal's attack, compared to before, had gained a terrifying goal-scoring machine this season!

As of scoring one goal in this match against Manchester City, Fly has achieved the miraculous feat of 25 goals in eleven matches this season.

Of course, Arsenal's overall performance this season is also stronger than in previous seasons.

Even subtracting Fly's 25 goals, Arsenal has still scored 37 goals in thirteen matches this season, averaging nearly 3 goals per game, which is more than Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Barcelona.

Although it's one goal less than Chelsea, that's because Arsenal has played one less match than Chelsea.

In terms of average goals per game alone, Arsenal, even after subtracting Fly's goals, is still the highest among these five clubs.

Thinking of this, many viewers and football professionals suddenly had a premonition: could this season's Arsenal be soaring to new heights?
