Chapter 71 - Chapter 71 Superstar Fly

Hello, viewers in front of the screen, this is the live broadcast of the Premier League match between Chelsea and Arsenal in the seventh round.

I am your old friend james!

Hello everyone, I am Larry!

After the usual opening remarks, james began the main topic:

"Alright, larry, we all know that both Arsenal and Chelsea are in excellent form this season."

"The former has not lost a match yet this season, while the latter only suffered a defeat in the previous League round."

"From this perspective, this match can be said to be a battle of equals."

"Which team do you favor more, larry?"

Upon hearing this, Larry habitually chuckled, then coughed twice and said slowly:

"Oh my, this match is going to be spectacular. Chelsea and Arsenal's form this season can be said to be the best in the entire Premier League, perhaps even in all of Europe."

"I've been looking forward to this match for a long time, especially since it concerns the top spot in the Premier League for the foreseeable future."

"How should I put it, I've seen many fans discussing this showdown online."

"Many people think Chelsea's squad is better compared to Arsenal's!"

"Furthermore, Chelsea was the Premier League champion last season, and the players in the squad have championship experience."

"What about Arsenal?"

"Not only is their squad slightly inferior on paper, but it has also been a full six years since Arsenal last won the Premier League."

"Six years! Arsenal's players have long since been replaced."

"Among Arsenal's current squad, how many players are left from that team that went 49 games unbeaten across seasons?"

"Clichy and Fabregas, just these two!"

"The remaining players joined successively during the years when Arsenal won nothing. In other words, they have no championship experience."

"Undeniably, these fans' analysis makes sense. If it were a month ago, I might have thought the same way."

"But now my thinking has changed. I believe Arsenal's chances of winning this match are at least not lower than Chelsea's!"

james heard this, played along, and asked, "Oh, what caused larry's thinking to change in the past month?"

This time, Larry didn't chuckle, but said with a very firm tone, "Because of Fly!"

"Fly?" james pretended to be puzzled and continued, "Is Fly really that good, good enough for larry to change his opinion just because of him?"

"You know, football is a sport for 11 players, and the impact one person can have is very limited."

Larry didn't retort, but continued his analysis: "Football is a sport for 11 players, that's correct!"

"But football is also a sport where a moment of inspiration from a superstar can decide the match."

"Why did Arsenal always seem to fall short at crucial moments before?"

"It's because they lacked such a superstar who could turn the tide and change the course of the game at crucial moments!"

"And Fly's presence just fills this gap. Today's Arsenal already has its own superstar."

james felt a moment of daze upon hearing larry call Fly a "superstar".

I mean... larry, you shouldn't boast like this! How long has Fly been playing, and he's already a superstar?

Of course, james wouldn't say this publicly, as Larry also needs to save face.

"Alright, the players from both sides have entered the field. Let's wait and see!" Having nothing else to say, james could only change the subject and redirect the live broadcast's focus back to the match.

But the words Larry spoke in front of millions of fans quickly spread.

It is foreseeable that the entire China will welcome another earthquake.....

Fly, far away in England, did not know that his compatriots from his previous life had already hyped him up as a "superstar" on East Asia's Premier League live broadcast platform.

But even if he knew, he would accept it calmly.

Nonsense!

System overall rating 85, FIFA overall rating 87-88, what else would this rating be if not for a superstar?

You know, the highest overall rating for Messi is only 90, and Cristiano Ronaldo only has 89.

Two points lower than Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in overall rating, does that mean he can't be called a "superstar"?

The weather in London today is not good. A curtain of rain covers West London, and the lights of Stamford Bridge reflect a cold halo on the wet turf.

After entering the field, Fly stepped on the slightly wet turf under his feet, took a deep breath, and his nasal cavity was immediately filled with the scent of rain mixed with weeds.

How should I put it, this smell is a bit strange. It's not exactly fresh, but it's not unpleasant either.

The blue wave that met his eyes, although not as fervent as the red wave at Anfield, was still striking.

In the interval before the match began, Fly glanced at the light screen only he could see:

[Ding dong! Mission released!]

[Mission Name: First London Derby]

[Mission Content: 1. Help the team defeat Chelsea]

[2. Score one goal or provide one assist]

[3. After scoring a goal, make a "quiet" gesture towards the Stamford Bridge stands]

[Mission Rewards: Each task completed earns 100 Intermediate Soft Rice Points. If all three tasks are completed, an additional 100 Advanced Soft Rice Points will be awarded]

To be honest, Fly was not confident he could complete this mission.

Because the opponent is Chelsea, the iron-blooded Blues that even Dream Three Barça found it hard to overcome!

Arsenal's lineup is not complete at the moment. Van Persie and Fabregas are both out due to injury, reducing Arsenal's strength by at least twenty percent.

Thinking of this, Fly took another deep breath and silently encouraged himself:

"Come on, you can do it, you must do it. So many people are watching you, they want to see you fail. You must give these bastards a good slap!!!"

As the Main Referee's whistle sounded, for Arsenal, the most important and also the most difficult match of the season so far began.....

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Premier League match between Chelsea and Arsenal in the seventh round at Stamford Bridge has now begun."

"Let's take a look at the lineups for both sides."

"Chelsea is using a 4-3-3 formation for this match."

"Goalkeeper: Čech."

"Defenders: Ivanović, Alex, Terry, Ashley Cole."

"Midfielders: Ramires, Mikel, Essien."

"Forwards: Anelka, Drogba, Malouda."

"Arsenal is using a 4-4-2 formation for this match."

"Goalkeeper: Fabianski."

"Defenders: Sagna, Varane, Koscielny, Clichy."

"Midfielders: Alexandre Song, Wilshere, Diaby, Nasri."

"Forwards: Fly, Arshavin."

"OK, the Main Referee has blown the whistle to start the match. Kicking off first is the home team, Chelsea....."
