Fly has always believed in one thing, and that is if a person consistently shows their true self to the outside world, then their image will never collapse.
The reason why so many celebrities' images collapsed in their previous lives was because they accidentally revealed their true selves, and the real person was vastly different from the persona created by marketing and public relations.
If such a person's image doesn't collapse, then whose will?
Often in such situations, the more perfect the marketed persona is, and the deeper the impression left on the public, the more severe the backlash caused by the image collapse!
This was the reason why Taylor was subjected to online harassment by the entire internet in her previous life.
At least at the time of the recording incident, the recording released by Kanye and Kardashian indeed ruined Taylor's American sweetheart image.
It was equivalent to pushing Taylor's image from one extreme to another.
This extreme contrast naturally led to public anger at feeling deceived, thus causing large-scale online harassment.
If it weren't for hackers later releasing the complete recording, proving that Kanye and his wife's recording was artificially truncated, Taylor might never have been able to clear her name in this lifetime.
Fly doesn't want his image to collapse in the future, so he simply doesn't hide anything and is his most authentic self. Those who dislike him will dislike him, and those who like him won't turn against him because his image collapses.
Being able to do this is enough for Fly.
....
At 3 PM, Fly and Taylor went to Kearney Training Base together.
Taylor strongly insisted on witnessing Fly create a miracle with her own eyes.
Fly couldn't resist his girlfriend's persistent nagging and could only agree.
He even called Wenger about this matter, after all, according to the club's regulations, players are not allowed to bring family members into the team's training base without permission.
After hearing Fly's request, Wenger agreed without a second thought.
Nonsense!
Kearney Training Base is strictly speaking his home.
As the future mistress of the Li family, what reason did Wenger have to stop her from inspecting her own property?
Anyway, Wenger didn't arrange any scrimmage training this afternoon, just normal warm-ups to allow the players to recover from the exhaustion of yesterday's match.
Even many injured players came to the training base this afternoon.
Their purpose for coming was simply to see if Fly could really live up to the boast he made in front of the media.
For a football player to be able to run at the speed of a professional track and field sprinter in the 100 meters is simply an incredible feat.
You should know that even the fastest recorded football player in history, Caniggia, his 100-meter time was only at the level of the Olympic B standard.
The Olympic B standard is just the minimum standard to participate in the Olympics, it doesn't mean you are guaranteed to be selected for the national team.
At least in the China, if you can't run the 100 meters in under 10.1 seconds, don't even think about participating in the Olympics.
As for the United States and Jamaica, it's even more exaggerated.
Even if you run under 10 seconds, you won't be qualified to participate in the Olympic 100 meters in these two countries.
Because both Jamaica and the United States have more than one athlete who can run under 10 seconds.
But Fly is completely different.
If what he said in the interview is true, then he can represent any country in the Olympics.
Because at 9.7 seconds for the 100 meters, in today's world, only Bolt and Tyson Gay can surpass him.
Others such as Gatlin, Blake, Powell, etc., their historical best results have not broken this number.
This is also why so many people criticized Fly after his interview was released.
Because many people thought, how can you, Fly, be capable of achieving a time that so many famous sprinters couldn't?
If a football player could really run 9.7 seconds, then apart from Bolt and Tyson Gay, all other 100-meter athletes in the world might as well just hit their heads and die.
Because the public reaction caused by this matter was too great.
Guinness, upon receiving Allen's message, was also very serious, with all preparations in full swing, a professional camera team following the entire process, and the entire challenge process would be fully recorded without reservation.
Guinness even set up a live broadcast specifically so that viewers could witness with their own eyes whether what Fly said was true or false.
This matter not only caused a stir in England, but even the United States, which originally didn't pay much attention to football, was extremely concerned about this matter.
Because the United States has historically been a major track and field nation, and sprinting, led by the 100 meters, has long been a dominant event for Americans.
It was only in recent years, due to encountering the once-in-a-century super anomaly Bolt, that Americans have been defeated in the 100 meters and 200 meters sprinting events.
Now, the United States is constantly thinking about how to use technology to push the limits of the human body and see if they can challenge Bolt's dominance.
As a result, they suddenly discovered an American who emerged from nowhere and could actually compete with the fastest American runner, Tyson Gay!
You should know, who is Tyson Gay?
Many people may know that Boss Kobe had a 10-second solo shot at the Beijing Olympics.
But how many people know that Tyson Gay had a 26-second solo shot, making him the athlete with the longest solo shot time in the entire opening ceremony.
Why did East Asia give an American track and field athlete such a long shot?
It was only because at that time, Tyson Gay was one of the fastest runners in the world and was the biggest favorite for the 100-meter championship at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
It is reasonable that such a flying man, who was praised to the skies by American sports, was closely watched by East Asia, which values track and field.
Fly is now being compared to Tyson Gay by the American media.
This undoubtedly has a huge positive impact on Fly's growing reputation in the United States.
ESPN, a famous American sports television station, even reported on the entire process.
Fly's test at Kearney Training Base will be broadcast live by ESPN across North America.
Upon arriving at the training base, Fly and Taylor were immediately surrounded by the media.
"Fly, I heard you will be officially certified by Guinness here today, is that true?"
Hearing such a nonsensical question, Fly didn't even bother to answer him, but after looking around, there were quite a few media reporters, so Fly, in order to maintain his public image, patiently replied:
"Of course, isn't that obvious?" Although Fly answered, he still retorted to the interviewer at the end.
For Fly, who emphasizes his true nature, he will never tolerate people or things that make him unhappy if he is in a bad mood.
"Fly, I heard this test will be broadcast live by Guinness. Are you confident? If you confess now, maybe you can still get everyone's forgiveness."
Fly glanced at the badge on the chest of the reporter who asked this question, and upon seeing it was the annoying The Sun, Fly immediately retorted: "Aren't you guys specializing in gossip? Why are you suddenly asking about this? Did you change your nature?"
Taylor noticed her boyfriend was arguing with the media and quickly discreetly pinched him with her hand, reminding him to be mindful of his image.
After being reminded by his girlfriend, Fly's temper subsided slightly, but he still did not directly answer The Sun's question.
At this time, ESPN, which had flown from the United States to London, brought the topic back on track and asked: "Fly, have you tested your 100-meter time in private? What is the probability of being able to finish under 10 seconds?"
Fly saw that it was an authoritative American sports media, and being determined to increase his influence in North America, his tone became slightly better, and he confidently said:
"Of course, it's precisely because I've tested it in private that I know how fast I can run. I don't want to boast, unless I make a major mistake, such as slipping, otherwise I will definitely run under 10 seconds, test a hundred times, run a hundred times."
Fly's boast immediately caused astonishment among the media reporters.
"Alright, whether my boyfriend can do it will be known later, so please, reporters, be patient." Taylor came out and said a few nice words, then pulled Fly into the training base.
After entering the training base, Fly quickly started greeting his teammates who arrived one after another.
When Fabregas saw Fly and Taylor, he first greeted Taylor, then said to Fly: "Fly, wow, you're serious, you're really going to test it live on camera?"
Fly shrugged, looking calm and said: "Of course, Cesc, you know, I never boast, I always do what I say!"
Fabregas couldn't help but give a thumbs up, praising Fly.
Wilshere also came to Fly's side, patted his shoulder, and encouraged: "Don't worry, brother, we are all on your side."
Fly chatted with the two for a few minutes, then greeted Wenger on the training field.
"How is it, you just played a match yesterday, your physical condition hasn't recovered today, can you do it?" Wenger was very concerned about his favorite student's test this time.
Although whether he can run under 10 seconds doesn't affect Fly's position as a football player at all.
But if he can really do it, it will undoubtedly create a human history record, that is, the first non-professional track and field athlete in human history who can run the 100 meters under 10 seconds.
And also the only football player who can run the 100 meters under 10 seconds.
This is also why Guinness is coming to certify it.
Fly heard Arsène Wenger's concern and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Boss, it's a piece of cake."
Wenger nodded and said: "Go for it, I believe you can do it!"
"Okay, Boss, then I'll go warm up." After saying goodbye to Wenger, Fly entered the field to warm up.
Although he will be tested on the track and field track later, Fly said it doesn't matter, warming up by playing football is the same.
Taylor stood by and watched her boyfriend train, occasionally chatting with the staff at Kearney Training Base.
Taylor has always been a very talkative person, and she has always been very friendly to the staff.
In her previous life, there were endless reports and video clips about Taylor always carrying tips for local staff wherever she went.
As a global superstar, very few people can be so approachable.
The staff at Kearney Training Base were also habitually given tips by Taylor, which even surprised them greatly.
Because they have been at Kearney Training Base for many years and have met countless football stars.
But they have never seen many football stars who would actively talk to them.
Let alone giving tips?
Taylor's action immediately drew thanks from the staff.
Some even jokingly called Taylor "Ms. Adams", and upon hearing this, Taylor was in a great mood and immediately took out another 200 US dollars and gave it to that person.
For a time, there were constant cheers from the sidelines.
