"Sheffield United defeated Cardiff City 3-1 and won the first victory of the new season! Evans scored one goal, Gilbert scored one goal, Januhans scored a long shot, and young player Maher assisted and scored twice!" - "Sheffield Evening News"

That night, several news about the match day occupied the fans' attention.

Most people still focus on the Premier League, which is understandable. The top of the pyramid is the most eye-catching.

However, unlike before, some local reports have Maher's name.

In the comment area of ​​these reports, many Sheffield United fans came to the news and praised Maher for bringing them a wonderful experience today.

"Genius!"

"Rising Star!"

"Bicycle Boy!"

"He almost beat Cardiff City's full-back Gabor. Not only did he break through and cross, but his confrontation ability was also memorable!"

Among them, there are direct praises and rational analysis.

"At present, he is the most suitable winger for Sheffield United.

"The original main winger Mark Artes likes to cut inside and shoot instead of crossing from the bottom. He does not contribute much to the team and creates few goals. "

"Maher's strengths and weaknesses are relatively obvious. He can create goals and is very smart.

"But he is also prone to losing the ball. He lacks effective means when facing away. His short passes are not excellent and he often makes mistakes.

"He did not win the title of best player today. I think this is also the reason. "

"He is still young and can practice! "

...

On the return bus, Sheffield United players read out these comments one by one, teasing Maher with passion and emotion, sometimes causing everyone to laugh.

"Maher, I think you should create a Facebook account."

The captain of the team, Robert, is getting older and more reserved. He turned his head and looked at Maher in the back row and said, "If you become more and more popular later, you may be favored by many British girls, and they will leave you messages."

"Yes, they will leave their addresses."

Center forward Evans turned around and said with a familiar look, "Don't think we are just a Championship team and Championship players. In Sheffield, we are still stars."

"But be careful of honey traps."

January added, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Many stars have encountered this, and in the end they can only spend a lot of money to settle the matter. You are still young, don't fall for this. "

Maher ignored them and used his phone to register a Facebook account.

It wasn't that he wanted some British girl, but the Internet age was gradually coming, and he really had to develop his own account online, slowly accumulate fans and accumulate popularity.

If there were some endorsement opportunities in the future, or if a famous agent wanted to work with him, this would be a way to contact him.

Not long after registering, several accounts added their followers and became his fans.

Maher clicked in and took a look. On one of the homepages, he saw photos of Sheffield United. He thought these people should be fans who were searching for his name after the game, and followed him to see if it was true.

He picked up his phone, took a few selfies, and sent them out.

After a while, it seemed that someone had spread his account, and the speed of fan growth gradually increased, with a significant increase every time it was refreshed.

By the time he arrived in Sheffield, the account had more than 700 followers.

"It feels good. "

Maher showed a comfortable expression. He would accumulate slowly. He couldn't eat a big fat man in one go. He was looking forward to the day when he had a million fans.

I vaguely remembered that in a few years, many superstars could get more than one million euros in return by posting a promotional Instagram post... It was no different from picking up money.

Now Instagram has not been born yet, so he can operate Facebook first.

Not to mention a million euros per post, even 1,000 euros is not a small amount. It can buy four pairs of sneakers.

That night, Maher lay in bed and prepared to sleep, but he often recalled the feeling on the court and the comfort of assisting.

He seemed to still hear the cheers of the fans, the crisp sound of assisting teammates to score goals and touching the net, and the excited faces of each one.

This is definitely a picture and experience that he can remember for a lifetime, and he smiles every time he thinks of it.

...

The next day, Kearney training base.

"Bang bang bang. "The door of the head coach's office was knocked early in the morning, and the visitor seemed a little anxious.

Wenger took off his glasses, walked to the door and opened it, and saw Hans standing at the door with a bald head, smiling.

"Please sit down."

He turned around and motioned for the other party to sit down first, and when both parties sat down at their workstations, he asked: "Any good news, happy news?"

"It's a big happy news."

Hans's mouth was almost grinning to the back of his ears, he took out his mobile phone and opened a news, and put it in front of Wenger: "Maher and Gilbert, do you remember?"

"I remember."

Wenger nodded, turned to look at his mobile phone, and then froze in place for a long time as if he was frozen, and his eyes kept changing.

Sometimes he suspected that he had seen it wrong, sometimes complicated, and sometimes shocked.

He suddenly raised his eyes, stared at Hans and said: "Really..."

Hans had expected this question a long time ago, and interrupted: "Absolutely true! Yesterday, I watched the game with everyone from the U17 team. Maher started the game and scored 2 assists, one of which was to Gilbert!

"Our U17 team has made a name for themselves!"

In fact, Hans must have had some other ideas. The club is currently making changes and inspections, and he is under a lot of pressure every day.

Seeing these two people have achieved results, he couldn't bear it for a moment, and quickly found Mr. Wenger, hoping to be praised and stabilize his position.

"The report is here! The report is here, Mr. Wenger!"

At this time, there was a shout outside the door, and someone walked in quickly, "It's the match report of the two little guys you asked me to do last time, they have already played!"

It was assistant coach Phyllis, who seemed to have realized that this matter would make Mr. Wenger happy, and he printed the report early in the morning to report the good news.

Phyllis walked in with the report, and was about to present it to Wenger, but suddenly saw a bald head looking at him.

"Hans?"

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, "Mr. Wenger already knows?"

"Yes."

Wenger was finally convinced that the news must be true. He stood up from his seat and paced in the office with a happy face, "Great, they are both very good, and this performance is really unexpected."

From any angle, at the age of 17, playing in the English Championship and getting data, that is a top talent.

"Pay more attention!"

Wenger made a decision and arranged with a smile: "As long as you play, you must bring me a game report every week. It is best to analyze the game video and make data analysis."

People are made up of one expectation after another, and their hopes for the future are obviously for Wenger. He has new expectations for the future.
