Lin Hao thought that the other person's analysis was very accurate, and it also served as a reminder to himself not to get too carried away.
He has talent, and everyone previously underestimated Lin Hao's offensive talent. He also has high basketball IQ; he knows to do what he should do and not do what he is not good at. This is playing to his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses.
But to say that he's truly unstoppable? Or that he's destined to become the face of football in the future? I doubt it.
I don't think these two games prove anything. Furthermore, the reason Lin Hao was able to perform well is because his opponents didn't pay enough attention to him. To put it bluntly, they didn't take Lin Hao seriously. So, the teams that follow should be careful. If they keep underestimating Lin Hao, they will definitely suffer.
As for how high he can go in winning, it depends on how long he can maintain his output and whether he can maintain efficient firepower when facing high attention and being the main target of opponents.
Such an assessment is fair, and Lin Hao agrees with it, but Lin Hao remains as confident as ever that he will succeed.
Lin Hao also trained with Liu Chang, who became his trainer. Liu Chang was also the one who helped him with the investigation at the school.
The next match will also be an away game against Newcastle United.
After two matches, Lin Hao has indeed become famous, and more and more people are coming to watch his matches.
The main reason is that his background makes him particularly attractive to fans. As an amateur player, people are happy to see this kind of grassroots success story, especially with Vardy as a precedent.
The Brazilian player once vowed to lead Brazil to its sixth star.
There are many descendants of the Dragon Kingdom, and quite a few of them live abroad. They are very willing to support Lin Hao.
Lin Hao himself didn't know that he was actually quite popular in China now. After all, no Chinese player had ever been so good at football. In fact, it could be said that Lin Hao was already the best football player in China, and he didn't need to achieve anything more.
This surge in popularity, coupled with Lin Hao's recent impressive form, has led to him being informed that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will be coming on as a substitute.
This is a huge affirmation, and Lin Hao must seize the opportunity.
However, Lin Hao did not get a chance to play in this game, because in the 80th minute, just as they were about to substitute Lin Hao, Arsenal had a player sent off with a red card and could only bring on a defensive player.
Fans who came hoping to see Lin Hao were left disappointed.
Arsenal are a bit unaccustomed to this; when was the last time someone in their club idolized a star player?
In recent years, their popularity has come entirely from creating memes.
This is the first time that such a surge of attention has come from just one person.
The next match is in European competition!
However, Arsenal haven't played in the Champions League for many years, only the Europa League. The Europa League is fine too, but they haven't won it.
In their first group stage match, they faced Poltava Vorskla.
When Lin Hao came on as a substitute, the team was already leading 3-1, but they conceded a goal shortly after entering the game, making it 3-2.
In the 80th minute, Lin Hao scored on a counter-attack, securing a 4-2 victory!
In the subsequent Premier League match against Everton, Lin Hao came on as a substitute but did not score.
But it has created a lot of threats.
They then defeated Brentford 3-1 in the EFL Cup, and returned to the Premier League to easily beat Watford 2-0.
Arsenal had an excellent month in September, winning all six of their matches across all competitions.
Arsenal have also successfully moved into the top four of the league standings, ranking third with eighteen points.
First is Manchester City, second is Liverpool, third is Arsenal, fourth is Chelsea, and fifth is Tottenham Hotspur.
Chelsea and Tottenham have 17 and 16 points respectively.
In other words, the scores of the third, fourth, and fifth place finishers are very close.
We must not relax at this time, as October has arrived.
The first match is still a Europa League group stage game against Qarabag.
Arsenal won 3-0.
Arsenal then won 5-1 against Fulham in the Premier League.
Lin Hao failed to score in either of these two matches.
In football, when the schedule isn't too packed, there's usually only one game a week. If you can't consistently deliver, people will forget about you after a week.
Players like Lin Hao, who can suddenly become incredibly good and then go several rounds without scoring, and whose goal-scoring style is so visually striking that it's almost like embroidery, attract genuine fans who shower him with praise. This, in turn, leads many others to dislike him.
If a player doesn't perform well, the criticism comes immediately. This is actually a common problem for star players. Some people are just born to attract attention, like Lukaku.
The next match is highly anticipated by fans, and one of the fans, who was just watching the excitement, gave it a very interesting name: the grassroots derby.
Arsenal vs. Leicester City.
Lin Hao and Vardy both came from humble backgrounds.
But why is Lin Hao so eye-catching? Because Vardy climbed up step by step, while Lin Hao ascended to the top in one leap. He was playing amateur football before, and went straight to a top team.
The match was played at Arsenal's home ground, the Emirates Stadium.
In the players' tunnel, the camera kept focusing on Lin Hao and Vardy, but the two didn't exchange any words and didn't know each other.
But this kind of visual language gives the audience a feeling that a great battle is about to begin.
The players from both sides then entered the field for the pre-match ceremony, followed by the kickoff.
Lin Hao remained on the bench, and the first half ended in a goalless draw!
Lin Hao came on as a substitute in the 60th minute of the second half, marking the first time he had come on so early as a substitute.
When Lin Hao came on, Arsenal's home crowd erupted in cheers, and the camera kept focusing on Vardy.
The ball was taken from the sideline, and Lin Hao pulled it back. This move by the Brazilian player was truly ingenious. When he stopped the ball, he didn't stop at the spot where his foot was, which was also a feint. As a result, Mendy's foot didn't touch the ball when he tried to kick it.
Lin Hao then passed the ball to his right foot, and with another fritter, he got past Mendy.
He then quickly dribbled forward, and while being defended by Ndidi, Lin Hao used a simple change of pace to shift Ndidi's center of gravity and move forward. Unexpectedly, Maguire had already come up.
Maguire didn't bother with anything else with Lin Hao; he went straight for the physical attack. Maguire must have weighed over 200 pounds; who could possibly overpower him? Lin Hao almost flew out of the way.
The referee immediately blew his whistle for Maguire's foul, but did not show a card.
This is also the main way all teams deal with Lin Hao now: as long as there is a slight opportunity, they will immediately use their bodies, and if necessary, they will not hesitate to foul.
Lin Hao was indeed troubled by this, and he really didn't know how to solve it. When they were on the basketball court, they dealt with Lin Hao in the same way. Lin Hao's solution was to prevent them from having a chance to touch him.
But in professional sports, defensive players are also very strong!
