"GOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"
"Number 13, Fly Adams!!!"
"Oh my god, look at this unexpected goal! Not only us watching the game, but even the players on the field didn't react in time."
"One can only say, this goal perfectly showcases Fly's ingenuity."
"From this, we can see that Fly is not just a goal-scoring machine, but also a very creative player."
"Of course, Cesc also did well. His quick free kick caught the Manchester City players completely off guard."
"Thanks to this ingenious goal, Arsenal leads Manchester City 1-0."
When Arsène Wenger on the sidelines saw that Fly and Fabregas had jointly contributed such a wonderful goal, he couldn't help but applaud.
It has to be said, this goal was simply too beautiful...
For someone like Arsène Wenger who is dedicated to beautiful football,
Such an ingenious goal is something he strongly desires to see.
Now, his two most favored disciples have combined to produce the goal he has long dreamed of, which makes the old man feel very gratified.
As happy as the people on Arsenal's side were, the people on Manchester City's side were just as miserable.
God knows how infuriated Mancini was on the sidelines seeing his team concede such a simple goal, his mind was practically exploding.
It must be said, Manchester City has played quite well so far in this match, unlike their first encounter where Arsenal completely dominated them.
But Mancini was still very annoyed by such a simple goal conceded, because in his heart, there was a chance to win this game.
As long as they played evenly with Arsenal in the first half, they would have a chance to finish the game in the second half.
But now Fly's goal has directly ruined his plan...
"Damn it, this hateful brat, why can he always score Fxxk?"
Thinking of this, Mancini couldn't help but look back at Mario Balotelli, who was sitting on the bench staring blankly at the sky.
Seeing this super genius, on whom the Italian had placed great hopes, still daydreaming in this kind of situation, Mancini became even more infuriated.
"Why isn't Fly Italian? Damn it, I wish I could swap this idiot Mario for Fly..."
At this moment, even Mario Balotelli's compatriot coach began to be fed up with this overgrown baby.
Poor Comrade Mario Balotelli, still fantasizing in his mind about the day he would step over Fly to win the Ballon dOr.
In the 32nd minute of the match.
Seemingly angered by Fly's opportunistic goal, the Manchester City players began to push forward in large numbers. For a time, Arsenal faced wave after wave of attacks, and Szczęsny made three saves in just a few minutes.
In the 40th minute of the match.
Jo, the Brazilian who was a former Chinese Super League player and one of Manchester City's worst signings in history, received a through ball from Yaya Touré. Ignoring Tevez, who was asking for the ball on the other side, he took a powerful shot, and the ball flew directly into the stands.
"Damn Brazilian, are you shooting into the sky?! Why didn't you pass?"
Tevez was furious seeing his idiotic partner shoot wildly again, and immediately cursed out loud.
Being Argentinian, he naturally didn't get along with Brazilians.
Jo naturally wouldn't just take the scolding and retorted directly: "Damn Argentinian, after missing that one-on-one chance just now, you have the right to say I shot wildly?"
"What? You damn Brazilian, how dare you talk back..."
Seeing his two forwards arguing again, Mancini couldn't help but rub his forehead.
They are truly a bunch of mercenaries, without any cohesion at all!
Accompanied by a shot from Milner that went high, the Main Referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
Playing at home, Arsenal temporarily leads Manchester City 1-0.
During halftime, Fly and Wilshere were still chatting about the Ballon dOr, and the atmosphere in the locker room was relatively relaxed.
"Hey, Fly, who do you think will win the Ballon dOr on the 11th of this month?"
Hearing Wilshere's question, Fly raised his eyebrows and asked in return, "What do you think, Jack? I'd like to hear your opinion."
Fly naturally knew that this year's Ballon dOr winner was Messi, the Argentinian winning the award for the second consecutive year.
However, in his previous life, the outcome of the 2010 Ballon dOr caused significant controversy.
Because many people believed that Wesley Sneijder, the core player who won the treble and was a World Cup runner-up in 2010, should have been the winner of the Ballon dOr that year.
And the eventual winner, Messi, only won a La Liga title that year. In terms of honors, the gap with Wesley Sneijder was too large.
This controversy continued until 2025, before Fly's transmigration. Wesley Sneijder repeatedly mentioned the 2010 Ballon dOr in interviews, claiming he was robbed.
Of course, another person who was robbed was Ribery, the French 'King of the Allianz Arena'.
Although Ribéry's unfriendly actions towards East Asia during his time at Fiorentina caused him to lose his popularity among East Asia fans,
Ribéry's failure to win the Ballon dOr in 2013 was also a huge controversy, which, like Wesley Sneijder's, continued to be discussed until before Fly's transmigration.
Fly believed that the controversy in 2013 in this life should not exist, because he would take action!
But for the 2010 controversy, he was powerless to help.
Who made him born later? If he had debuted two years earlier, around 2008, then this year's Ballon dOr would undoubtedly have been his, Fly's.
At that time, the so-called major controversies regarding the Ballon dOr would not have existed.
But the reality is that he, Fly, certainly couldn't catch up with the 2010 Ballon dOr, so he could only watch the controversy happen.
With this thought in mind, Fly wanted to see what viewpoint Wilshere, this native who didn't know the future, held.
"Hmm... If I were to vote, I would give the Ballon dOr to Andrés Iniesta."
After a moment of thought, Wilshere gave his answer.
"Hmm? It's Andrés Iniesta, why?"
God knows how shocked Fly was when he heard Wilshere's answer!
Because in his understanding, the 2010 Ballon dOr was either given to Messi or Wesley Sneijder, what did it have to do with Andrés Iniesta?
The controversy surrounding the 2010 Ballon dOr in his previous life also revolved around Wesley Sneijder and Messi, there was no mention of a third person for the Ballon dOr.
"What's there to ask 'why'? Please, this is the World Cup! Andrés Iniesta scored the only goal in the World Cup final, helping Spain win the World Cup. Just for that, he should get the Ballon dOr..."
Wilshere was very puzzled by his good brother's surprise, because in his opinion, the Ballon dOr could only belong to Andrés Iniesta, the World Cup winner.
Fly was speechless upon hearing this.
Because he hadn't expected that Wilshere, this native, would think this way – that because Andrés Iniesta won the World Cup, he should get the Ballon dOr.
Such simple and crude logic truly exceeded Fly's expectations.
"But what about Wesley Sneijder? He won a treble at the club level plus was a World Cup runner-up!"
Since he was puzzled, Fly wouldn't hide it and directly posed a probing question to his good brother.
Wilshere looked strange upon hearing this and said without hesitation, "Didn't you already say Wesley Sneijder was a World Cup runner-up? Since he's a World Cup runner-up, it must be given to the World Cup winner. Only the World Cup winner is qualified to have the Ballon dOr."
Fly felt his thought process was starting to fall behind and simply laid it out clearly.
"Jack, what I mean is that Wesley Sneijder won the treble plus was a World Cup runner-up. It's obvious that his honors are more numerous than Andrés Iniesta, who only won La Liga and the World Cup."
"You know, not many teams in history have achieved a treble at the club level..."
At this point, Wilshere finally understood what his brother was trying to express.
"Haha, Fly, are you kidding? While the treble is impressive, how does it compare to the World Cup? You know, that's the World Cup! The highest honor in football. Any other honor is just a younger brother compared to the World Cup, completely incomparable..."
"Furthermore, do you want to look at who won the Ballon dOr in the previous two World Cup years? The 2002 Ballon dOr winner was Ronaldo, who scored 8 goals and won the championship in the Korea-Japan World Cup. The 2006 Ballon dOr winner was Cannavaro, the captain who led Italy's comeback."
"From past history, you can also see that in a World Cup year, the Ballon dOr winner will only be chosen from the World Cup champions. No matter how outstanding others are, they won't get it."
After hearing these words, Fly was stunned...
Holy crap! He, Fly, was actually left speechless by Wilshere, this native?
It must be said, the memories of the transmigration still affected him, making some of his ways of thinking always different from the people of this era.
