Chapter 403: Chapter 115: Two Miracle Balls! Amelia’s Exclusive Interview! Turin, Receiving the Golden Boy Award Trophy!
"Haha....."
Ma’el hugged Wenger, feeling quite good, "If possible, of course, we’ll give it a go."
After saying this, he walked into the players’ tunnel and returned to the locker room.
He first turned on his phone, ready to browse the post-match news, and just then Mendes called.
"Hello?"
"....."
"....."
"Alright, book the tickets for us."
Having learned of Mendes’ plan, Ma’el nodded in agreement, heading to the shower, "I’ll take a shower and then head out."
After hanging up, he quickly finished his shower, put on a new set of clothes that he had prepared earlier, left a text message for Wenger, and then departed.
"Ma’el."
Just as he stepped out, he saw Wenger with all the assistant coaches and most of the players standing behind him, waving goodbye, "Congratulations, see you at the Emirates Stadium!"
"Thanks!"
Ma’el could see the anticipation on everyone’s faces. He cheerfully waved back at them and left the Etihad Stadium.
After walking a few steps, Aguero caught up with him from behind, hoping to exchange jerseys with him.
Ma’el accepted the proposal, exchanged jerseys with Aguero, exchanged contact information, and then parted ways.
"Good luck, Ma’el, it’s too late for the European Cup, but I hope to meet you on the World Cup stage, that’s a real big event, a feast!"
"Definitely!"
...
Walking out through the agreed C1 exit, Ma’el saw Peter and Amelia, who had already set up their photography equipment, smiling as they awaited him.
"Just you two?"
As he asked, he saw two commercial vehicles approaching from afar, one empty, the other filled with staff and photographers from Football Record.
He smiled and waved, walking over to Amelia, who quickly placed a microphone in front of him, "You know the interview’s already started, right?"
"Um..... I’ve actually thought about it many times, about how to start this special interview, but I never expected it to start like this.
"Everyone knows you just had an important match. Can you share your feelings right now? What does this match mean to you and the team?"
Amelia spoke as she opened the car door, inviting Ma’el into the empty vehicle, suggesting this was a mobile interview.
"I am very happy."
Ma’el stepped onto the vehicle, officially beginning to answer questions, as Peter, who was holding a handheld camera, passed it on to more professional cameramen.
In the camera lens, Ma’el had a bright and charming smile, answering questions calmly, "It’s wonderful to overcome the last strong opponent on the day of winning the Golden Boy Award.
"It’s a long and somewhat strange sentence, but when these elements are piled together, you realize the significance of this match to me and how I felt about winning it.
"As for the entire team..... I’m not sure if people noticed, but many teams build belief and cohesion through comebacks and hard-fought victories, achieving important accomplishments in the end.
"I believe we can do the first part like them, and we can achieve the latter part like them as well."
Amelia nodded, sitting next to Ma’el after entering the car, while signaling the cameraman and Peter to get in too.
The first question is usually like this, to help everyone understand the current time and place and the general mood at the moment of the interview.
Along with the headline, it usually can instantly bring people into the current mindset of the player.
"Did you book the tickets?"
Ma’el looked at Amelia and asked something somewhat unrelated to the interview, "Also, did you get in touch with Torino Sports Paper? What if they weren’t prepared?"
"Mr. Mendes has arranged everything." Amelia wasn’t concerned, noting that in this documentary-style interview, such snippets were often included, "Arrive in Turin at nine, attend the award ceremony at nine-thirty."
"Alright."
Ma’el nodded, feeling reassured, and raised his eyebrows at Amelia, indicating her to continue questioning.
"Was it around the time you scored your fifth league goal? We planned a special interview at ten goals, then postponed it to fifteen goals, and now here we are."
Amelia smiled sweetly, holding the microphone up to Ma’el’s mouth, "Your growth speed is too fast, fast enough that outsiders keep setting new targets for you. I want to ask about your own goals.
"Not just the season’s goals, but also current ones, for this month, the first half of the season, etc. I’d like to hear about your plans for yourself this season."
"Let me think, there are indeed quite a few goals."
Ma’el nodded, contemplating. As he had mentioned earlier, this kind of special interview also serves as a self-analysis for his future, which can be somewhat useful.
"Does it sound like I’m humble bragging if I say my initial expectation was 25 goals and 10 assists at the start of the season?"
He chuckled, "Reaching where I am now, the goal of competing for the Golden Boot Award is a certainty, and as for specific numerical goals, I have two targets.
"First, to break the team’s record of 30 league goals in a single season set by Emperor Henry, and second, to break Alan Shearer and Andy Cole’s Premier League record of 34 goals.
"Besides that, I hope to win the Premier League Young Player of the Season, maybe even the Player of the Season? Haha, league MVP, that goal is a bit too ambitious.
"As for the team’s goals, aiming for the Premier League title is a must, and I also have ambitions for the English League Cup.
"As for the FA Cup and the Champions League, I haven’t faced the FA Cup, and have only experienced the group stage of the Champions League, they aren’t familiar yet, so I can’t say much now.
"The team’s depth might not yet be at the level to compete across three or four competitions, focusing on a few to secure well-deserved championships would be better.
