Chapter 252 - Chapter 251 80 goals in a single season, what is Fly’s limit?

Halftime passed quickly, and the Arsenal and Liverpool players entered the field one after another.

After the second half began, Arsenal gradually pulled their formation back.

After all, they already had a two-goal lead; at this point, they only needed to maintain the score.

At least at the League level, Arsenal players were now thinking of securing the championship as early as possible and didn't want to make more contributions.

At least the starting players on the field didn't want to waste any more energy on the League; their full attention was now on the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.

Only Suarez and Jérôme Boateng, who couldn't play in the Champions League, were thinking of proving themselves in the League.

Arsenal actively chose to retreat, so Liverpool naturally had no choice but to attack...

But unfortunately, this Liverpool team currently had nothing but grit.

Several attacks were successfully defended by Arsenal almost as soon as they entered the penalty area, failing to create a single threatening shot.

In the 62nd minute of the match.

A forced shot from the edge of the box by Kuyt was parried by Fabianski, who quickly grabbed the ball and threw it to Clichy.

Clichy looked up and noticed that Liverpool's defense had huge gaps due to their entire team pushing forward.

Clichy had practiced this situation countless times in training; almost without thinking, he launched a long ball towards the front of the field.

Facing such a long kick from dozens of meters away, it was basically a pure speed competition.

Whoever ran faster, the forward or the opposing defender, would gain the upper hand...

Entering Fly's most comfortable zone, Flanagan, who had been marking him, could only be ruthlessly overwhelmed.

Even though he tried his best to chase the ball in the air, Fly easily left him behind.

Seeing the ball land on the grass, Fly took advantage of the momentum with a powerful burst, kicking the ball forward more than ten meters.

Skrtel, who was nearby, couldn't even catch up to foul him and could only smell the exhaust fumes behind Fly...

Liverpool's goalkeeper, Renner, saw his teammate being left behind by Fly again, and in desperation, he could only choose to rush out early, even though the distance was very far...

When Fly caught up with the ball, he was less than 10 meters from the penalty area, while Renner had just run out of the box.

Looking at Renner, who was a few steps away, Fly kicked the ball to Renner's right-rear.

Renner noticed this and immediately dived horizontally, but unfortunately, he was a step too slow and couldn't prevent the ball from crossing his defensive range.

In desperation, Renner could only choose to lift his legs, trying to prevent Fly from stepping over him.

If he couldn't keep the ball, he would keep the man...

Renner knew very well that this action of his could result in a direct red card, but he had to take a gamble!

As a professional player who had played for many years, Renner knew very well that the referee in this match would favor Liverpool.

The reason was also simple... the The FA and the Premier League would not want to see Arsenal win the championship several rounds in advance.

Since it was impossible to keep the Premier League title race suspenseful this season from a pure strength perspective.

Then they could only delay Arsenal's championship win through human intervention.

It was precisely because he knew this... that Renner was certain that even if he fouled Fly, the referee would likely act as if nothing happened and signal for the game to continue.

However, unfortunately, all these judgments were based on the premise that "he stopped Fly."

Fly had long anticipated Renner's move, so he didn't fall for it at all, directly performing an oblique jump to dodge Renner's deliberate raised leg.

Watching Fly cross over him, a look of despair couldn't help but appear on Renner's face...

After catching up to the ball, facing the huge empty net in front of him, Fly could not miss unless he was possessed by the National Football Team.

With a gentle push of his instep, the ball rolled into the goal like an obedient child.

Arsenal 3:0 Liverpool, almost securing victory in this match.

After scoring this goal, Fly immediately sprinted to the sideline and made an "80" gesture to the fans, indicating that this was his 80th goal of the season.

"Fly!!!"

"The best in the world!!!"

The Arsenal fans at Emirates Stadium were also very supportive, shouting in unison.

"Boss, 80 goals, are you going to stand shoulder to shoulder with god?"

Suarez rushed behind Fly and hugged him, exaggeratingly saying.

80 goals! This was an incredible statistic for someone aspiring to be a world-class striker!

Suarez's own goal was to score 50 goals in a season during his peak; he didn't think about more than that.

Now, seeing a god-like figure who had scored 80 goals in a single season appear before him, he had nothing to say but worship...

Fierce, too fierce!

"Heh... I want to live a long life; why would I go accompany god?"

Fly couldn't help but have a dark expression at Suarez's analogy.

Good heavens, he was directly sending Fly to stand shoulder to shoulder with god.

Didn't that translate to telling him to die?

After all, besides going to heaven after death, where else could one see god?

Fabregas, on the other hand, high-fived Fly; for some reason, Cesc Fàbregas didn't seem as enthusiastic about Fly's 80th goal as he had been in the past.

Wenger on the sidelines was clenching his fists, feeling very relieved.

"Their conspiracy has failed; no one can stop Arsenal this season, no one..."

Fuerde listened to Wenger's murmuring, naturally knowing who he was referring to as "those people."

Looking at the mixed-race youth celebrating wildly with his teammates on the field, Fuerde sighed with emotion:

"What a pity... all conspiracies and tricks are insignificant in the face of strength."

"Today's Arsenal possesses absolute strength on the pitch..."

Sky Sports commentator and famous Fly fan, Martin Tyler, who was broadcasting the match, had already pushed his lung capacity to the limit.

"GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"

"Number 13, Fly Adams!!!"

"A supercar is speeding across the pitch; I can't imagine what the Liverpool players are going through..."

"Ruthless frontal crushing, an easy one-on-one chance just appears; this is the embodiment of ultimate talent."

"3:0, if nothing unexpected happens, Arsenal should have this match in the bag..."

"Oh my god... look at Fly's gesture, 80? My goodness, this is Fly's 80th goal; incomparable explosive data. Since football became professional, no one has ever scored so many goals in a single season!"

"You know, before this, the record holder for professional football's single-season goals, Gerd Müller, only had 67 goals..."

"And Fly has raised that number by two levels, crossing the 70+ threshold and reaching 80+, which is simply a miracle!"

After praising Fly profusely, Martin Tyler looked at Andy Gray beside him, raised an eyebrow, and said:

"Mate, how many goals do you think Fly will score by the end of this season?"

"I know you said before that you couldn't predict, but I think Arsenal has fewer than 10 games left this season, so you should be able to give a rough answer, right?"

Hearing this, Andy Gray stroked his chin for a moment before hesitantly speaking:

"That depends on Arsène's arrangements next..."

"We all know that after winning this match, Arsenal only needs to win one more League game to secure the Premier League title in advance."

"The question now is... we don't know if Fly will continue to play in the League after Arsenal secures the League title."

"If he no longer plays in the League after Arsenal secures the League title, then Fly might only have 4 games left... if they are eliminated by Real Madrid in the semi-finals, then it's at least only three games!"

"If we predict the number of goals based on the minimum number of games, then Fly's goal tally can only stop at 80+, making it almost impossible to break the 90+ mark."

"Because if Fly could score 10 goals in total in the two matches against Real Madrid plus one League game, then he shouldn't be eliminated by Real Madrid."

"Although Fly scored 6 goals in total over two legs against Barcelona, and Arsenal scored 11 goals as a team."

"But as speculated by the outside world... this kind of goal-scoring match is just an anomaly and not universally applicable."

"So, all things considered, Fly's goal tally should at least stay at 85 goals."

"Of course, if Fly is eliminated by Real Madrid, he might continue to play the remaining few League games. In that case, Fly's goal tally should, without exception, reach 90+, but as for whether he can reach 100 goals, I personally think the chances are slim..."

"Because if they are eliminated from the Champions League and the League title is already secured, even if Fly wants to rack up goals, his teammates might be half-hearted..."

"Even for Fly, it would be difficult to score when his teammates lack subjective motivation."

"As for Arsenal reaching the Champions League Final, and Arsène also allowing Fly to play the remaining few League games, I don't think he can reach 100 goals either."

"Because with the Champions League Final to play, even if Fly continues to appear in the remaining few League games, he will be afraid of injury and dare not exert himself, and playing cautiously on the field will naturally make it difficult to maintain his super-high scoring efficiency."

"In addition, to prepare for the Champions League Final, Arsène will also reduce Fly's playing time, all of which will directly affect Fly's final goal tally."

"Analyzing from these angles... I personally believe that Fly's goal tally by the end of this season will be in the range of 85-90 goals, and will not exceed 95 goals."

After listening to Andy Gray's analysis, Martin Tyler thought about it briefly and had to admit that what he said made sense.

Even he, a loyal fan of Fly, felt that the latter's goal tally would at most be around 90 goals.

There was still a considerable gap from 100 goals...

However, given that Fly had no National Football Team matches this season, playing fewer games than other stars, reaching around 90 goals was already a very remarkable achievement.

Martin Tyler firmly believed that when Fly joined the England National Team next season, his total goals for club + national team would definitely exceed a hundred!
