Thinking of this, Modric suddenly felt that what Wenger had been repeatedly emphasizing about "Wenger's bargain signings" was absolutely true!
Wenger's ability to scout talent and find hidden gems was truly impressive.
Previously, Wenger had to watch helplessly as many excellent young players joined other teams due to budget constraints.
But now that he had money, Wenger immediately became energized.
Modric guessed that Wenger's series of signings wouldn't stop here.
If his future signings could match the quality of this one, Arsenal would rise again within two transfer windows.
As soon as this thought arose, Modric slapped his face with his hand and let out a self-mocking bitter laugh:
"With a record of 13 wins and 1 draw in fourteen League matches, is this Arsenal still not considered a resurgence? What on earth am I thinking?"
Modric suddenly realized that after winning this match, Arsenal's record this season meant they had only dropped two points in fourteen League rounds.
With such an almost invincible League record, for him to say "rise again" was perhaps a bit too boastful, wasn't it?
If an Arsenal team like this still needed to rise again, then what did that make the other Premier League teams?
Worthless?
Modric didn't know, but he was very sure that Arsenal would only become stronger in the future than they were now.
Not just because of the signings, but more importantly, because of the growth of Fly.
Modric stated that he couldn't see this man's limit; calling him an "alien" seemed like an insult to Fly.
"He's strong, too damn strong. Why did I have to be born in the same era as someone like this?"
....
"Beep beep beep, beep————"
With the Main Referee's final whistle, the Premier League's fourteenth-round match where Arsenal hosted their local rivals Tottenham Hotspur came to an end, with Arsenal narrowly winning 4-3 against Tottenham.
Currently, after fourteen matches, Arsenal leads comfortably with a record of 13 wins and 1 draw, accumulating 40 points.
As for the results of other teams in this round, they weren't available yet, as the North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham was the earliest match, and by the time it finished, the second match between Chelsea and Birmingham hadn't even started.
Fly had no way of knowing.
His memories from his previous life only included the results of important matches.
For ordinary League matches like this, Fly basically didn't know the results because he hadn't followed them in his previous life.
Unless it was a major disaster like Manchester United 8-2 Arsenal or Liverpool 7-0 Manchester United, Fly generally wouldn't know the specific League scores between two particular teams.
After the match, Fly was caught by the Fleet Street media reporters and subjected to a series of interviews.
Due to Wenger's protection, Fly hadn't given any post-match interviews this season; this was his first time.
Of course, this was also because Fly had told Wenger that he could accept interviews and didn't need to keep hiding, as offending the media wasn't a good thing.
In addition, the Premier League would fine the Best Player if he didn't accept interviews, and Fly didn't want the club to pay money unnecessarily, so he decided to accept interviews for future matches.
Anyway, for someone like Fly who was dedicated to becoming the GOAT of football, interviews would definitely be unavoidable in the future, so getting used to them early was good.
After hearing Fly's explanation, Wenger thought about it and agreed that it was a good idea for Fly to interact with the media early, so he agreed.
Looking at the Big Breast Blonde Girl in front of him wearing a Sky Sports badge, Fly couldn't help but swallow.
Good heavens, that was huge! Although Fly hadn't touched them, judging by eye, they were at least a 36D!
For Fly, who was used to'Strawberry Bears' all year round, this was indeed a considerable temptation, no wonder Taylor always forbade him from private contact with beautiful women.
This was a true test of character!
Fly had to marvel at how sharp his girlfriend's eyes were; she had taken precautions in advance against temptations he might not be able to resist.
Fly could only shake his finger and exclaim "666" at this, because he felt that facing such a stunning sight, he might indeed fail to resist and make the mistake that all men make.
Taylor understood Fly even better than he understood himself; she truly had him figured out.
And the Big Breast Blonde Girl interviewing Fly accurately captured the moment Fly's eyes went wide; she immediately flicked her golden hair and deliberately pushed her chest forward slightly, so Fly could get a better look.
Seeing Fly's gaze become somewhat evasive, the Big Breast Blonde Girl stopped teasing the big boy and began the interview:
"Fly, we all know that you haven't given any interviews in all your previous matches this season, so may I ask why you are accepting one this time?"
Facing the reporter's question, Fly thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth:
"Because before, my Boss was afraid that I was too young and would fall into traps set by reporters during interviews, and some inappropriate remarks might cause external criticism and bring negative effects on myself, which is why he didn't allow me to accept interviews."
Hearing Fly's honest words, the Big Breast Blonde Girl smiled slightly.
It must be said that interviewing such an honest, handsome, sunny, confident, and powerful big boy felt very good, especially for a female reporter.
"Okay, I understand. So now it's because Arsène has given his permission, is that right?"
"Of course. I don't think I need to hide from the media. My strength doesn't allow me to be low-key. Even if I say some inappropriate things, I will use my performance on the field to eliminate these negative off-field news."
Fly was direct and didn't hesitate at all.
The Big Breast Blonde Girl was also stunned by Fly's confidence. Wow, this was equivalent to declaring war on the media!
What did he mean by "My strength doesn't allow me to be low-key"?
What did he mean by "I don't need to hide from the media"?
What did he mean by "use performance on the field to eliminate negative news"?
Didn't these sentences mean: "The media is nothing. They are not worthy of me hiding from them. I'm standing right here, what are you going to do about it?"
"Low-key? Doesn't exist. My strength is too great; I can't even be low-key if I wanted to. Will you media let me stay low-key? No! If that's the case, why should I be low-key?"
"Want to spread negative news about me? Fine, I'll wait. You media can spread whatever negative news you want about me outside. If it can affect my performance on the field, consider it my loss!"
These remarks were definitely a huge provocation to the media, who prided themselves as the "uncrowned kings"!
In the eyes of many media, public figures should be humble and low-key towards them, should not contradict them, and should not steal public attention.
The place where they, the media, were located, was the focus of public opinion, the center of the world, and everyone else should make way.
What? A public figure isn't afraid of us media?
How audacious!
Do you know what "uncrowned king" means?
You aren't afraid of the emperor of modern society; are you trying to rebel?
It can be said that for public figures who don't take the media seriously and don't bow down to them, the media generally regard them as major enemies and try to destroy them through continuous smearing, spreading rumors, and launching public opinion attacks.
Most people essentially collapse under such deliberate attacks from the media.
Even many people with strong psychological resilience need to lie low for a while.
Those who can go against the tide of public opinion are all extremely formidable individuals.
Fly considered himself to be such a person.
Whether it was his identity as a transmigrator, the system he possessed, or his family background in this life.
All of this made him completely unafraid of the so-called "uncrowned kings."
Not to mention the existence of Dad Li and Annie, which would make many media dare not be too reckless.
Even if his parents didn't intervene, Fly only needed to repeatedly dominate his opponents on the field.
Over time, these media outlets that opposed him would naturally turn into'self-flowing water' and help Fly clear his name.
It was precisely because he understood the nature of these media outlets that Fly didn't bother to constrain himself verbally.
He would say whatever he wanted. If the media had the guts, they could drown him in a wave of public opinion; otherwise, Fly truly wouldn't back down.
After a brief moment of shock, the Big Breast Blonde Girl immediately asked the next question: "Fly, what are your goals for this season?"
Fly looked at her strangely, wondering why she wasn't asking about the contents of this match.
However, he was too lazy to think too much and said directly: "My goal this season is to help Arsenal win back the League title and achieve the club's first Champions League title in history."
Hearing Fly make such bold statements without any preamble, the Big Breast Blonde Girl was once again stunned; she said she had truly never interviewed a man like this!
The season had only just started less than four months ago, and he was already setting flags for his team?
The key point was, what kind of performance had Arsenal had in recent years? Didn't he know it himself?
The Big Breast Blonde Girl took a deep breath and continued to ask: "Okay, it seems Fly is very confident. So, what are your personal goals for this season?"
Fly's confidence in himself was far greater than his confidence in the team, after all, a team consists of 11 people, and he had 10 teammates; he couldn't control their performance.
What he could do was to make his own performance better and more dominant.
Since he dared to say "Arsenal will win the League and Champions League titles" in front of reporters.
Then regarding himself, Fly was even more "ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."
"For myself, my goals are actually very simple. This year, I'll first win a Golden Boy Award to get a taste of it, and next year, I'll win a Ballon dOr just for fun, while also taking home the European Golden Shoe and the Champions League Golden Boot."
"Hmm... Oh, besides these trophy-related goals, I also have specific numerical goals. In the League, I aim to break the single-season goal record in the European top 5 leagues, which means scoring at least 45 goals."
"As for the Champions League... Honestly, breaking Van Nistelrooy's single-season Champions League record of 12 goals is too easy for me. I've set myself a goal of 15 goals, and if I can reach 20, that would be even better."
"And then, my total goals for the 2010-2011 season should reach 70+, breaking Gerd Müller's record of 67 total goals in a single season."
"That's pretty much it. I think it would be very good if I can achieve these goals this season."
