Chapter 276: Taylor Swift's plan
Meanwhile, in the Arsenal locker room, the celebratory atmosphere reached its peak.
The players cheered and shouted, spraying champagne into the air.
Fly was inevitably tossed high by his teammates, who kept cheering his name:
"Fly!!!"
"Fly!!!"
"Bro, you are the best!"
Fly was tossed quite a bit in the air by Varane and Wilshere...helpless, he could only say:
"Alright, alright...stop it. Without everyone's support and cooperation, I couldn't have done this."
"Guys, this is a victory for our entire team. We will advance together towards the Champions League title!"
Van Persie walked up and hugged Fly tightly, saying, "Brother, your performance today was truly incredible. Not only did you score goals...you even made a goal-line clearance?"
"Come on, if you're this good, how are we supposed to play? We'll just watch you perform..."
Facing Van Persie's genuine outpouring of emotion, Fly was a little surprised but still smiled and said, "Robin, you are my partner in the front field. We cooperate well, don't we?"
After nearly a season of interaction, the unruly Dutchman had been completely subdued by Fly's absolute strength.
Facing the latter's teasing, Van Persie chuckled and said, "Of course, what could be more comfortable than working with the best player in the world?"
Other teammates also gathered around, high-fiving and hugging Fly, sharing the joy of victory.
Wenger, who had finished his interview, walked into the locker room and looked at this group of vibrant and determined players, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
He said loudly, "Lads, today you showed the world how strong Arsenal is!!!"
"But our goal has not yet been achieved. The Champions League Final awaits us. Let's continue to work hard until we get that damned trophy!!!"
The players chanted "Champions, Champions!" in unison, their voices echoing throughout the locker room...
Facing Manchester United, their old rival whom they had defeated twice this season, Arsenal players were very confident.
After all, playing against a familiar opponent is always more reassuring than playing against an unfamiliar one.
Especially with Arsenal having successively defeated the "La Liga Big Two", Barcelona and Real Madrid, the players' confidence had swelled to an all-time high...
In the eyes of Arsenal players at this moment, their strongest past opponent, Manchester United, was nothing special!
Outside the locker room, Taylor was pacing back and forth, waiting for Fly.
When she saw Fly walk out of the team's locker room, she immediately ran over and threw herself into his arms.
"Hani, you are amazing...I am so proud of you!"
"I knew you would win..."
Taylor said excitedly, tears sparkling in her eyes.
Fly hugged his beloved tightly and said gently, "Sister, thank you for your continuous support and encouragement. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to perform like this today."
The two looked at each other affectionately, then gently kissed.
At this moment, all fatigue and pressure vanished, leaving only immense happiness and sweetness.
Of course, this public display of affection naturally caused an uproar among the Arsenal players present.
"Damn Fly...kissing my goddess in front of me again, how annoying!"
Wilshere feigned a fierce gesture with his fist at Fly.
He swore that if it weren't for needing Fly, this crucial player, to lead them to the championship, Wilshere's iron fist would have already swung.
Emma Watson, who came with Taylor, had a look of sourness.
If she had known Taylor was going to kiss Fly in front of her, she wouldn't have come!
However, Emma Watson knew that if she didn't come, there would be no chance to poach him.
She needed to use Taylor as a medium to connect more with Fly...
Only then would she have the opportunity to slowly dig and slowly pry apart this seemingly "rock-solid" couple.
Afterward, Fly held Taylor's hand, and they walked together towards the parking lot.
Along the way, they continuously talked about the exciting moments in the match, and Fly also told Taylor about his feelings and thoughts on the field.
Although Taylor was not interested in football...she still acted as a qualified listener. She liked to hear everything about her man, big or small.
Just as she was listening with great interest, Taylor seemed to remember something and suddenly asked:
"Hani, now that you've eliminated Cristiano, does that mean you've secured this year's Ballon d'Or?"
Perhaps as a professional singer, Taylor was unusually concerned about awards...
She knew very well that in the field of football, the importance of the Ballon d'Or was equivalent to the Grammy Awards in the music industry, it is the highest individual honor!
Taylor greatly desired the glittering golden gramophone...and putting herself in his shoes, she believed her man should also have strong feelings about the golden football.
In addition, Fly had mentioned the Ballon d'Or more than once in front of her before, so Taylor had always kept it in mind.
In the past half a year, she even leveraged her connections in the entertainment industry, getting many world-renowned superstars to side with Fly, using their influence to maximize the impact on the Ballon d'Or selection.
When Fly heard this, he also guessed what his woman was planning. He didn't need to hide anything from Taylor and said directly:
"Yes...this year I've scored 89 goals, and I'm about to break the 90-goal mark. This statistic itself is far ahead of everyone else."
"Plus, the League title is already secured, the Champions League has reached the final, and I've directly eliminated Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the two biggest competitors. From any angle, this year's Ballon d'Or can only be mine..."
After receiving a positive answer, Taylor kissed Fly's cheek and said to him:
"That's good. Anyway, no matter how high your chances of winning the Ballon d'Or are, I'll help in any way I can..."
Fly, facing his woman's kindness, naturally would not refuse.
Although his winning the award was already a certainty, if Taylor wanted to help, he would definitely support her.
After all, Taylor's connections in the entertainment industry were not to be trifled with...
As the current money-making machine in the music industry, almost none of the friends Taylor knew were easy to deal with.
Not to mention others, just Emma Watson, who was following behind them at this time, was a globally renowned superstar.
Among the global post-90s and post-00s generations, how many don't know "Hermione"?
Although Fly disliked Emma Watson because of her future disgusting deeds.
However, it is undeniable that "Hermione's" global influence is not to be underestimated...
At this very moment, whether Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's global popularity can surpass Hermione's in "Harry Potter" is a big question mark.
Fly dared not underestimate J.K. Rowling's phenomenal fantasy masterpiece in the slightest...
If he remembered correctly, in his previous life, J.K. Rowling became the only pure writer in the world to cross the "billionaire" threshold directly because of this book.
This achievement is indeed astonishing...
Leaving aside the "conspiracy" between Fly and Taylor, as other players slowly drove away from the stadium, Arsenal players, filled with the joy of victory and aspirations for the future, embarked on a new journey.
And this match will forever be etched in the hearts of Arsenal fans, becoming an immortal legend in the club's history.
Whether it's the joy of victory or the pain of defeat, it will all transform into motivation, inspiring every team and every player to constantly move forward on the path of football, chasing their own glory.
Arsenal will officially embark on the road to the Champions League Final. This time, it is their second time in club history.
Last time they ultimately lost and returned with regret...
And this time, what will the outcome be?
Everything will have to wait until the big battle at the end of May to be fully revealed...
