Rising Star 4.0

Louis became completely famous.

The youngest player to score a hat-trick in the Premier League.

The player who is currently the top scorer in the Premier League—after five rounds of the Premier League.

With a brace against Manchester City and a hat-trick against Southampton, Louis is now the top scorer in the league.

Who is behind him?

Robin van Persie of Manchester United!

Robin van Persie scored four goals. Four goals in five league rounds—in fact, Van Persie only appeared in four games. In the first round of the league, his contract was still with Arsenal, and there was no time to appear. So Van Persie actually spent four games and scored four goals. The efficiency of averaging one goal per game is indeed outstanding.

With Van Persie's performance, Manchester United scored 12 points with four wins and one loss in five league games, ranking second in the standings. First on the list is Chelsea. Chelsea, the defending champion of the Champions League, entered the state quickly at the beginning of the season, with four wins and one draw in five league games, ranking first in the league standings.

The third place is actually Everton. Manchester United's only loss was at the hands of Moyes' Everton. Everton has three wins, one draw, and one loss, scoring 10 points and ranking third. Also scoring 10 points were West Bromwich Albion and Manchester City. With a goal difference advantage, West Bromwich Albion beat Manchester City and ranked fourth. Manchester City is in fifth place.

Arsenal, on the other hand, has nine points from five league games, two wins, and three draws, ranking sixth—same nine points as Arsenal include Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur. And relying on the goal difference obtained by beating Southampton 5-0 at home, Arsenal are in sixth place. They are four points away from Chelsea at the top of the table and three points away from Manchester United.

And on the scorer list, the first place is Louis, the second place is Van Persie. Ranked third are Liverpool forward Suarez and Tottenham Hotspur's Gareth Bale. Suarez scored three goals. And there are many forwards who have scored two goals. There are quite a few players tied for fourth.

Before the season started, Robin van Persie, Suarez, Aguero, and others were definitely the favorites for the Golden Boot. But no one expected it now. Louis, who had never been in the public eye before the start of this season, actually topped the scorer list after five league rounds!

When Louis joined Arsenal, the media in England were busy mocking Arsenal's poverty: gone was Van Persie, and came Louis, whom no one had ever heard of. Such ridicule naturally made Louis the target of public criticism. After all, no matter who it is, being compared with Van Persie is a great pressure, let alone a boy who is only 17 years old?

But now, these ridicules and questions turned into praise and adulation. Such is the case with the media. Fall with the wind. Now the English tabloids and the Fleet Street media have started shouting "Wenger is Wenger" and praising Wenger for his outstanding vision. Some media have also begun to say that Louis is very good, but the media would not be media if they don't criticize him—it was Louis who was criticized before, and now it is Van Persie's turn.

[Van Persie's replacement? No! He is better than Van Persie!]—This is the title of [Daily Mail]. It seems that to prevent Manchester United fans and Arsenal fans from fighting, it is best to let the parties involved Robin van Persie and Louis also start a war of words, and they will not give up. Subsequently, many media outlets followed suit. They expressed their opinions one after another. Louis' performance on the court was really outstanding. Even better than Van Persie's performance. As for what they mocked Louis before. It's like this world never happened.

"Look, read this newspaper, [Arsenal's talented youngster breaks Michael Owen's record!]"

"And this, and this [The youngest man to score a hat-trick in the history of the Premier League!]"

In the living room of a hotel suite, Louis and his whole family happily read through the reports from the English media.

"Not just in England, I guess there are a lot of similar reports in Italy and back home," Inzaghi laughed. "You're kind of really famous now." He patted Louis' shoulder and said.

"I believe if I don't perform well in the next game, the media will soon have a different tone," Louis pouted.

"You are very calm, which is good. What I am most worried about is the media environment in England," Inzaghi nodded. "Don't pay too much attention to what the media says. If they praise you now, they will trample you to the ground tomorrow. Keep a peaceful state of mind."

My eldest uncle and my second uncle are both professional players. Come here. Now he is also very seductive. Teach Louis some life experience. So that he can continue to talk and laugh on the court in the future.

Louis' family returned to Milan. But in London, in England, it is almost impossible for the media to avoid Louis these days. Newspaper. Television. Network. All are news reports related to Louis. Thanks to the strength of English. The media in the UK is more influential than in other European countries. Louis became famous in the Premier League. That is to say, he is famous all over the world. Media from all over the world are reporting on Louis. Covering his hat-tricks, the records he set.

However, Louis began to impose a "media silence" on himself. He no longer cares about what the media is saying. Whether it's flattery or anything else. He knows there are many areas where he needs to improve. And his life is still very fulfilling. The club sent a public relations teacher to give him training on "how to deal with media reporters." I hope Louis can practice some clichés to deal with the media. But Louis felt that this was a waste of his time. There is really nothing to understand about these things.

Training is over for the day. Louis needs to practice more as usual. But at this time he was stopped by Wenger.

"Just rest today, Louis," Wenger said.

"But," Louis was thinking that he would also need to integrate the [Balotelli Confrontation Strength Module] and [Basic Shooting Module] training. Although the system has not yet refreshed the new module. However, the loading of the training module still allowed Louis to speed up the recovery of his basic skills—the basic passing module has been trained, and his basic passing skills evaluation has reached an A level. This is basically the level of a Premier League player. Then complete the training content of [Basic Shooting Module]. Then integrate [Balotelli's Confrontation Power Module]. Louis is more than just an opportunistic forward. He can hold up defenders at certain times, can complete more complex cooperation with players in the frontcourt, and can use more shooting skills! So, time waits not for us!

But Wenger's words surprised Louis even more. "Get ready and join me in the press conference," Wenger said.

The team's next match is against Norwich in the sixth round of the league. Due to the third round of the League Cup being played at the weekend, the game was moved to midweek.

"You have to be prepared, those hyenas are very interested in you," Wenger said with a wink. He knew that he could not keep Louis in a protective state all the time. Louis will have to face the media sooner or later—he is too famous now.

"I'm not afraid of them," Louis grinned.
