253. Forever Legend, Born Nine (II)

As the season progressed, Arsenal made it to the Premier League, Champions League and English League Cup, and Arsène Wenger's reasonable rotation allowed the main squad to slowly grind into shape.

The Three Lions topped their group with back-to-back wins in the European qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and have been hailed as favourites by the media.

Three Lions' new coach Alan Shearer has created a new England tactical wind with dry life at its core, supplemented by athletic young talents, and holding attacking football high.

When the Premier League entered the Devils' first Devil's fixture, the Christmas fixture, Arsenal's bench depth finally made them the big winners of the Devil's fixture, and the new team of doctors, medical facilities and injury control helped Arsenal escape the notoriety of the Glass Army.

The Arsenal with dry students and stars is shining brightly, and unlike in the past, in the strong dialogue, Arsenal changed the problem of being weak when encountering the strong, and against the Reds Liverpool, 6-1 at home, 5-0 away, Jurgen Klopp said that the Gunners are too rich.

Against Leicester City, the defending champions who had beaten twice last season, Arsenal won 7-0 at home, and Claudio Ranieri, who played 3-1 away, doubted that last season's title was not made by Arsenal.

4-2 at home and 5-1 away against former rivals Chelsea, Arsenal achieved a double for the first time since Jose Munirio took charge of Chelsea.

The most attractive thing about this season's Premier League is the duel between famous coaches.

Munirio's Manchester United are rebuilding, and the nemesis of Arsenal is now gone, with 9-0 at the Emirates Stadium and 7-1 at Old Trafford giving Uncle Bird an increase in gray hair.

World coach Josep Guardiola's Manchester City are undergoing a tactical change, being beaten 5-0 home and away by Arsenal, and the unconvinced Guardiola believes that Arsenal can win because the opponent has a strong super striker.

He also doesn't want to think that without Leo Messi, his Barcelona can win the trophy so smoothly?

Tottenham Hotspur coach Mauricio Pochettino said that with the growth of Qiansheng, Arsenal can maintain enough funds to continue to strengthen the squad, the Premier League will appear dominant, the situation of the champions, following the Manchester United dynasty, if the 16-year-old Qiansheng can maintain a good form for 15 years, the Arsenal dynasty will rule the Premier League for more than ten years.

As the saying goes, it was not until Qiansheng retired and dominated European football for 18 years that the Arsenal dynasty slowly collapsed, but it still maintained the strength of the giants.

Double kills against the big five giants and the defending champions, not to mention the absolute advantage against the middle and lower teams. Although some points were conceded in the first half due to the run-in of the squad and injuries, they did not concede a goal.

At the end of February, Arsenal won the first trophy of the season - the League Cup, and the final was led by Qiansheng to defeat Manchester City 4-1.

In the first leg of the Champions League knockout round, Qiansheng, who participated in the Champions League for the first time, broke a number of records in one fell swoop: at the age of 16, he became the youngest captain in the history of the Champions League, breaking the record set by Porto midfielder Ruben Neves in 2015, when he was 18 years and 221 days; Setting a new record for the youngest appearance and goal in Arsenal's history in the Champions League; The youngest player to play in the Champions League history for 23 years (16 years and 87 days for Nigeria international Celeste Babayaro who made his Champions League debut) and the youngest goalscorer for 17 years (Ghana international Peter O'Fori Quaye 17 years and 195 days).

In his first full season, he not only had the task of the club, but also shouldered the burden of the England national team. Although he was injured, after each injury, Qiansheng's strength further increased.

In December last year, Qiansheng won the European Golden Boy Award founded by Italy's "Torino Sports Newspaper" with a record high score, and won the most authoritative young player award in European football at the age of 16 years old.

When the Premier League ended at the end of May, European football shocked the world and the new Arsenal won the title again unbeaten after the 2003-04 season!

Unlike that season, there were fewer draws, and Arsenal became the first Premier League champion in the history of the Premier League to exceed 100 points with 32 wins, 6 draws and 102 points!

The crazy Qiansheng broke many records in the Champions League one after another when he participated for the first time.

Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo's 17 goals in 2013/14 were the most in a Champions League season and were broken by Gan Sheng's 18 goals this season.

Qiansheng scored six goals at home in the second leg of the semi-finals, breaking the record for the most goals scored in a single game set by Messi in the 2011-12 season (Messi's single-game goal record is 5 goals)

In 2007, Dutch star Roy Mackay opened the scoring record for the fastest goal in the Champions League with just 10.2 seconds. But in the 2016-17 quarter-final second leg away game, he broke that record by 8.8 seconds.

Real Madrid's superstar Frentz Puskas scored four goals in the 1959-60 UEFA Champions League final, a 57-year-old record for the most goals scored in a single game in a Champions League final, and now it was broken by a hat-trick.

The new Gunners won all the titles in their first season, reminding people of last year's post-season press conference.

The biggest contributor not only won the Champions League Golden Boot, but also won the Champions League Player of the Year, the best goal and the Champions League Team of the Year in a single season.

Breaking the monopoly of the peerless duo at that time, whether at the club level or at the individual level, Qiansheng, who is known as the record maker, has been called one of the three heroes of the world, side by side with Mero.

The unruly Swedish genius Zlatan Ibrahimovic said that although Melo has dominated football for more than a decade, the only thing that really convinced him was Qiansheng.

Thierry Henry: When I first met Gan, I knew he was going to be a nightmare for all goalkeepers, that he was going to be the greatest number nine in the history of football, so I paid a hundred pounds to take him. (Laughter)

Arsène Wenger: The signing is the greatest signing of my coaching career, not one of them. He's the cornerstone of the Arsenal dynasty, and with so many trophies and a string of records, he's the best No.9 of all time, isn't he?

Leo Messi: (Helplessly) My record has been broken? Yes, it can't be helped, Qian is such a monster, I suspect he is not from this planet at all.

Cristiano Ronaldo: If Leao is the strongest number 10, I am the strongest number 7, and I am the strongest number 9. When he stopped playing, he left behind countless records, I think, for at least a hundred years, no one can beat.

N years later, at the age of 39, Qiansheng retired, FIFA held a grand farewell ceremony for him, and presented him with the Lifetime Achievement Award and the 21st Century Player of the Year Award, and was inducted into the World Football Hall of Fame.

"Qian is the greatest striker of this century, and no one opposes him. He made his debut at the age of 15 and retired at the age of 39, and in his 24-year football career, his contribution to world football is indelible, and he has set countless records that have never been seen before or since. The FIFA president said affectionately: "Born nine, the strongest striker in history, dry, well-deserved!" ”

Qiansheng smiled on the podium, looking at the audience with adoring eyes in the audience, he remembered what his mentor Henry told him when he was 15 years old.

"Back then, a teenager who didn't know anything about football, because of an accident, played on the field and was favored by a legendary player, this teenager was moved by his words, and finally luckily entered the football world. You have a lot of potential, he said, to be a nightmare for all goalkeepers because you were born a number nine. Qiansheng laughed, and the audience also laughed, and their ears were already calloused to the history of this legendary star.

The French legend Thierry Henry, who was sitting at the front, was already a 62-year-old man with a sixtieth birthday, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he heard Qiansheng talk about the past.

"I think if it's a kid who has been playing football since he was a kid, he would be very happy to hear this because it's such a big encouragement for them. But I'm unmoved because I don't know football. I had to make money at that time, so I didn't have time to play this. Later, I asked Thierry how many pounds he would get for scoring a goal. Qiansheng pricked up a finger and said with a smile: "One hundred pounds, I found out for the first time that pounds are so easy to earn." So, I followed Thierry to Arsenal. ”

What happened later, everyone knows, genius, will always shine, the light of peerless genius, no one can hide it.

In 2039, at the age of 39, the greatest No. 9 in football history, he will retire from football.

His legendary story will live on forever, and he has won countless trophies in his 24-year professional football career.

According to FIFA's official statistics, Qiansheng participated in a total of 1,666 games (including various matches for club and national teams, including the number of substitute appearances), scored 3,628 goals, and scored an average of 2.18 goals per game, far exceeding the Golden Boot of the century in the last century, and the German striker with the most goals, Gerd Müller. Therefore, FIFA officially awarded Qiansheng the title of the world's top scorer in 21 years (that is, the Golden Boot of the century).
