After the match between Arsenal and Dortmund—
Press Conference.
Klopp struggled to suppress his overwhelming disappointment as he responded to reporters' questions.
"This was a terrible match, no doubt about it. We failed to defend the honor of Westfalenstadion."
"But this isn't the end! Our Champions League journey has only just begun this season."
Klopp took a deep breath.
"We'll give it our all and fight to qualify from the group — we must aim for a top-two finish and reach the knockout stage!"
The media room buzzed with tension.
"Borussia Dortmund has never been a team to suffer humiliating defeats. You've always been strong at balancing attack and defense!"
"But tonight, you were utterly swept aside! What exactly caused this disaster?"
The reporter poured salt in the wound with a sharp follow-up. Klopp's expression darkened.
"In my opinion, the reason we lost tonight is simple — we don't have Kai, and Arsenal does! That's it."
"If Kai had been on our team, the ones getting humiliated tonight would've been Arsenal!"
The press room exploded with shock!
Klopp's words oozed despair — a rare admission from the head coach of Borussia Dortmund.
He laid the entire reason for Dortmund's crushing defeat on one thing:
Arsenal had a terrifying monster in their squad.
One journalist, clearly intrigued, asked:
"Coach, if you believed that Kai was the kind of super-genius who could single-handedly change the game, why didn't you push harder to sign him during the last transfer window?"
At this, Klopp's barely restrained emotions snapped.
"What kind of stupid question is that? You think I didn't want to sign him?"
"You know our club's financial situation! We're nicknamed the 'Youth Academy of the Bundesliga' for a reason. We're lucky if Bayern doesn't raid our players at the end of the season — where would we find the money to spend 100 million on one player?!"
He slammed the microphone down…
…and stormed out of the press room.
The media erupted in chaos!
A flurry of aggressive, rapid-fire questions had finally pushed Dortmund's manager over the edge.
Reporters exchanged shocked glances and started frantically typing up their headlines.
Meanwhile, in Arsenal's media room—
Wenger was in high spirits.
He showered Kai with immense praise for his performance that night…
…while also commending every single Arsenal player.
"Kai is the soul of this Arsenal team! He's our leader. With him, our ambitions and goals this season are limitless."
"But if you ask me for a specific goal, I'll tell you simply — Arsenal's goal is always the next victory."
Wenger's calm yet powerful words echoed through the room.
Reporters' eyes gleamed with excitement.
Ever since Kai's arrival—
Arsène Wenger, the once-reserved "Professor", had undergone a massive transformation.
He was visibly more energetic and confident.
In the past, Wenger would never have spoken at such length in a post-match interview.
Indeed—
The arrival of a genius didn't just revitalize the team…
It even brought new life to their usually reserved manager.
📰 Headlines flooding football media across Europe:
"A Brutal Slaughter! Arsenal Smash Six Past the Bundesliga Champions!"
"Back-to-Back Hat-Tricks! Kai Goes Ballistic in the Champions League!"
"Dortmund's Manager Klopp: 'If We Had Kai, Arsenal Would've Been the Ones Crushed Tonight!'"

Following the clash with Dortmund—
The entire European football world was once again shaken!
After just two rounds of the Champions League group stage…
The media finally realized a harsh truth:
The so-called "Group of Death"…
…only applied to the other three teams in Arsenal's group.
Arsenal didn't feel any hint of death.
During the Champions League draw—
Fans and pundits alike had expressed concern:
Could Arsenal remain calm and composed while surrounded by the reigning champions of three different leagues?
But after two rounds—
Everyone realized how wrong they'd been.
Surrounded by three reigning champions?
What a joke.
It was Arsenal who had surrounded them.
The reigning champions of Serie A and Bundesliga — AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund — had both been thrashed by Arsenal.
And at the heart of it all—
Kai had scored hat-tricks in back-to-back Champions League games!
Two rounds into the Champions League, and Kai had already racked up an incredible six goals and four assists!
The entire European football world was stunned.
This youngest-ever Golden Boy Award winner—
The super prodigy who led a Championship side to a historic domestic double last season—
Since joining Arsenal this season, had delivered a performance that could only be described as madness.
Latest report from Transfermarkt:
Kai's market value has officially surpassed €150 million!
The football world shook to its core!
This was now the highest player valuation in world football—
And, as of now, the highest in football history!
In the year 2011, at this very moment—
Kai had surpassed Messi, who was valued at €100 million…
And Cristiano Ronaldo, who stood at €98 million.
Just over one season into his professional debut,
Kai had already rocketed to the top of the all-time market value list!
Arsenal fans were ecstatic!
Their captain… was now the most expensive player in the world!
And with Kai's market value skyrocketing once again—
Something utterly bizarre and hilarious happened in the world of football.
Crystal Palace Football Club was suddenly named among the Top 100 Investment Institutions by Wall Street analysts!
Fans were left dizzy in disbelief.
Even Crystal Palace's own board didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
With Kai's value rising higher and higher…
More and more non-sports investors began researching Crystal Palace's "investment strategy."
The legendary tale of "€500k turning into €100 million" began to spread far and wide around the world.
Crystal Palace immediately sprang into action.
They felt that retiring Kai's No. 10 shirt alone was no longer enough.
At the entrance of Selhurst Park—
Construction began on a statue dedicated solely to Kai!
"Kai is a forever legend of Crystal Palace!
He led the club out of darkness and onto the summit of English football!"
"We will honor this once-in-a-generation superstar with the utmost sincerity!"
The Crystal Palace board declared solemnly to the media.
That day, all of South London erupted in celebration once again!
Everyone who had witnessed last season's transformation from the depths to the peak—
Was filled with unwavering admiration for Kai.
Arsenal fans were loving every minute of it.
The more legendary Kai's status became at his former club—
The more it proved that signing him this season had been Arsenal's smartest move!
In just over one season—
Kai had earned countless fans in both South London and North London!
Throughout all of London—
Nearly half the city was now loyal to him!
The media couldn't help but be shocked.
After all, London is the capital of English football—
Home to more clubs than you could count.
And yet this unprecedented supernova, who debuted just over a year ago—
Had conquered nearly all of London in such a short time!
Later that night—
Back at the club—
The Arsenal squad celebrated once again in the locker room.
As night fell…
Kai returned to his room—
And as usual, completed his system settlement.
Following the match against Dortmund—
His post-match reward was a special attribute card!
Kai immediately checked the card's description—
Unlimited Attribute Card!
It could increase any stat by 10 points—
Completely ignoring threshold caps!
Kai's eyes lit up.
He knew that once an attribute reached 80 points,
he could only improve it further using the Star Module or Maxed Attribute Cards.
But this Unlimited Attribute Card could bypass that restriction—
And directly raise any stat by 10 points!
He looked at his attribute panel.
Without hesitation—
He used it on Ball Control!
His ball control stat, previously at 90…
After applying the card—
Instantly rose to 100!
Maxed out!
