After the 5–0 thrashing of QPR…
At the post-match press conference,
the media was in an uproar!
Kai appeared alongside Wenger in the media room!
Since his record-breaking transfer to Arsenal,
no media outlet had yet managed to interview the super prodigy since the Premier League season began.
Reporters had been waiting anxiously after every match,
hoping to catch a glimpse of that iconic figure with black hair.
But after the first two rounds,
they were all left disappointed.
Arsenal, it seemed, had chosen to let their new captain settle in quietly,
without exposing him too early to the media spotlight.
But tonight!
After the match against QPR —
that long-awaited figure finally appeared in front of the reporters once again!
Their hearts pounded wildly.
It felt just like the time when Cristiano Ronaldo first arrived at the Bernabéu,
and every Spanish journalist was desperate for an interview.
They were both excited and nervous.
After all, sitting before them was the first "100-million man" in football history —
and only 16 years old!
The reporters tried their best to suppress their excitement.
They began by directing a question at Wenger:
"Congratulations to Arsenal on three straight wins!
This is an absolutely perfect start to the season!
But as we all know, Arsenal often begin strong every year,
only to slump in the latter half.
Has the club taken any precautions against that happening this season?"
Wenger gave a calm smile.
"Compared to previous seasons, the depth of our squad has seen a qualitative leap.
On every line of the formation,
we have at least one reliable substitute for each position.
This should help us avoid any crisis during the congested fixture periods."
Then he added with a chuckle:
"Of course, when it comes to Kai,
he clearly doesn't need a backup.
Unless he personally requests it,
he'll always be a starter for this Arsenal team."
The media instantly buzzed with excitement!
Wenger, who usually guarded his players like precious jewels,
was now lavishing praise on this superstar prodigy without reservation.
The reporters were thrilled.
They eagerly shifted their attention to the young man beside Wenger.
They had a mountain of questions prepared for the most talked-about transfer signing of the year.
But at that moment, an Arsenal staff member stepped in with a reminder:
Reporters would be limited to five minutes of questions.
They needed to ensure Kai could rest properly after the match.
Though disappointed, the journalists now rushed to ask the most impactful, high-profile questions.
"Kai! In three Premier League matches,
Arsenal has scored 16 goals —
more than the other 19 teams combined!"
"And most shocking of all —
your goal involvement rate is 100%!"
The reporter's gaze burned with intensity.
"Last season, you won both the Golden Boot and Assist King in the Championship.
What personal honors are you aiming for in the Premier League this season?"
Kai took the mic and replied:
"Who's currently leading the Premier League in goals and assists?"
The reporter answered excitedly:
"That's you, of course!
Seven goals and nine assists in just three games!"
"You've completed three consecutive assist hat tricks,
numbers that most midfielders only achieve after half a season,
and a goal tally many strikers need an entire year to reach!"
The entire room was buzzing.
These numbers were beyond terrifying!
Kai smiled slightly.
"What I mean is — by the end of the season,
those two leaderboards will still look exactly like they do now.
There will be no change."
The moment the words left his mouth —
the media room erupted!
A wave of stunned gasps swept through the crowd.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
They were shocked by the sheer confidence in Kai's words.
This Arsenal ace had just declared that he would remain top of both the scoring and assist charts all season long!
He hadn't said it directly—
but the message was clear:
Just like he had done in the Championship,
he would sweep both major individual awards in the Premier League too.
The journalists were staggered.
My God…
This is the Premier League we're talking about!
No one in the 21st century has ever simultaneously won both the Premier League Golden Boot and Assist King!
What Kai just said—
was essentially ignoring every other striker and midfielder in the league!
For a moment, the reporters stood there stunned and speechless,
completely forgetting the rest of their questions.
In the locker room, Van Persie was watching the interview and felt his head buzz.
"Oh no... the captain's aiming at me!"
He looked like he'd just eaten a lemon.
Last season, he had narrowly missed out on the Premier League Golden Boot.
With Kai joining Arsenal this season,
Van Persie had hoped that with such a teammate, he could finally win the award.
But now, Kai's words had dragged him back to reality.
Walcott and Rosický were laughing uncontrollably nearby.
"Robin," Walcott teased,
"I suggest you start sucking up to the captain more.
Who knows, if he's feeling generous in a match,
he might actually let you score."
Koscielny chimed in with a grin, fanning the flames.
Van Persie sighed:
"Fine... winning the Silver Boot wouldn't be too bad either..."
Back in the media room,
a few more questions were squeezed in,
before the press conference finally wrapped up in a wave of excitement.
As Kai exited the media room,
changed his clothes, and walked toward the team bus,
a sea of fans surrounded the vehicle outside.
They shouted his name excitedly,
escorting the bus out of Emirates Stadium like a royal procession.
Kai opened the window and interacted with them.
"Captain! Lead the Gunners to revival!"
"We'll follow you forever!"
"Gunner King! Gunner King!"
Under the night sky,
the chants of Arsenal fans filled the air with fiery passion.
As the team bus pulled away from the Emirates,
the heat of the moment continued to stir wave after wave across North London!
"16 Goals in 3 Matches! Arsenal's Scary Firepower Shocks Europe!"
"Hat-trick of Assists in Every Game! 7 Goals in 3 Rounds! Arsenal's New Captain Is Unstoppable!"
"Who Can Stop Kai? The Premier League Is Being Dominated!"
"Chasing Both Golden Boot and Assist King? No One in the 21st Century Has Achieved This Miracle!"
The English media exploded after the match!
Arsenal fans who watched Kai's interview also went wild.
Their young captain,
only 16 years old,
yet daring to speak and act boldly,
exuded a level of unshakable confidence that electrified everyone.
This was the kind of player a captain should be.
Always confident and full of fighting spirit,
and able to pass that fire to teammates and fans alike!
And on the pitch, he was clearly the core of the team.
Could there be a better candidate to lead Arsenal?
Even Arsenal legend Ian Wright had this to say:
"I've watched every single one of Kai's matches.
I used to play for Arsenal, and also had a stint at Crystal Palace.
Unfortunately, my career didn't overlap with his."
"If I'd had the chance to be his teammate,
my career might've reached even greater heights!
But at least Arsenal didn't miss out on him!
This season, under his leadership,
the Gunners may finally win the glory that my generation never achieved!"
Arsenal fans were ecstatic!
After all, Ian Wright was part of the legendary Invincibles team.
Whether it was legends or fans—
expectations for this season's Arsenal were higher than any era before.
And after watching Arsenal's first three matches of the new season,
the rest of the Premier League's Big Six couldn't sit still.
At Chelsea:
Newly appointed manager André Villas-Boas,
having just switched over from managing Tottenham, was feeling the pressure.
He had watched Arsenal's 6–0 demolition of Spurs in the first round…
and he couldn't stay calm.
He immediately called Roman Abramovich.
"If there's a chance, in the winter window,
we have to continue pursuing that super prodigy!"
"He's not just a tactical weapon — he's a nuclear missile.
What's even scarier is that he's still growing,
and growing at an insane rate!"
"Soon, he'll dominate the Premier League!
And by then, we'll be facing a version of Arsenal
that's even more terrifying than the Invincibles!"
In truth, Abramovich never gave up on chasing Kai.
But he wasn't great at managing the club's operations.
With Chelsea in a mess, he had his hands full.
Last season, Chelsea lost the Premier League title by just two points.
Facing angry Blues supporters,
Abramovich was forced to sacrifice a scapegoat —
Carlo Ancelotti.
He dumped all the blame on the tactical master.
But after sacking him,
Chelsea fell into even deeper chaos.
From fans to players to the locker room,
the club was now in a state of total unrest.
