The match between Arsenal and Chelsea was the last match of the seventh round of the Premier League.
After the match, Fly immediately checked the results of other teams.
These past two days, he had been busy preparing for Chelsea, essentially 'ignoring everything outside and focusing only on the ball at his feet'.
Opening his phone, Fly's eyes immediately searched for the red and yellow color.
With just that one glance, Fly smiled.
Sunderland 0:0 Manchester United!
Seeing this result, Fly couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
Manchester United's season opening was a complete disaster, with a record of 3 wins and 4 draws in the 7 League matches played so far, remaining undefeated.
Hmm... an undefeated record, it sounds quite impressive.
But Fly was sure that the Scottish Old Man was definitely not in a good mood at this moment.
Especially after learning that Arsenal had defeated Chelsea, he was probably so angry he would smash the table.
As a result, the gap between Arsenal and Manchester United has now widened to 6 points!
The League has only just started its seventh round, and Arsenal has already established a 6-point lead.
It can be said that as long as Arsenal doesn't collapse in the middle of the season, winning the championship won't be a problem.
After that, Fly checked the results of other teams.
The Sky Blues, Manchester City, narrowly defeated the Magpies, Newcastle United, 2:1 at home.
Tottenham Hotspur also narrowly defeated Aston Villa 2:1 at home.
As for Liverpool...
Well, it can only be said that the Red Army is still consistent, losing 1:2 at home directly to Blackpool, who were thrashed 9:0 by Arsenal at the beginning of the season.
They really have no shame!
Fly suddenly felt that he didn't need to pay attention to Liverpool's results anymore.
Because this Liverpool team is not the strong team from his past life's memory with the Egyptian Pharaoh Salah, the world's best center-back Van Dijk, and Uncle Klopp.
A 'relegation team' that has only won 1 out of 7 League matches and accumulated a total of 5 points is truly not worth paying attention to.
Just then, Fly's phone rang. After glancing at the caller ID on the screen, Fly decisively answered the call:
"Honey, are your legs sore right now? I watched you play in the rain during the live broadcast, it really broke your elder sister's heart."
Hearing his girlfriend's concern, Fly felt warm inside and chuckled:
"elder sister, I'm fine. As soon as the match ended, I went to the club for an ice bath. You called just a little while after I finished."
"Hmm, that's good, honey. Guess what I'm doing now?" Taylor's playful voice came from the other end.
Fly was confused and wondered, "elder sister, didn't you go back to the United States to promote your new album?"
"Are you lying to me? No, that's not right, I remember your new album is being released at the end of this month!"
"Pfft, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Here, listen to whose voice this is." Taylor's voice quickly disappeared.
Before Fly could even think, a familiar mature female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Son, how have you been lately?"
"Mom!" Fly was stunned, wasn't this his Mom?
Why was Taylor with his Mom?
Since the last time he talked to his Mom about the national team issue, Fly hadn't called his mother again.
"Mom, why are you with your daughter-in-law? What are you doing?" In front of his mother, Fly directly referred to Taylor as his daughter-in-law, after all, this was also personally approved by his parents.
"Nothing, Taytay just happened to be promoting her album at a TV station under our Adams Family. I happened to be here, so I met with her."
Hearing this, Fly suddenly understood.
Although he didn't know much about the Adams Family, Fly also knew that political families usually had their own dedicated media outlets.
However, these media outlets usually wouldn't openly display the family's name.
Otherwise, it would cause a lot of public resentment and some unnecessary trouble.
Fly guessed that his girlfriend was promoting her album at various TV stations across the country and happened to run into a media outlet under the Adams Family.
Then his Mom happened to find out about it and came to see her daughter-in-law.
After all, his parents are both very busy people and are usually nowhere to be seen.
The last time Fly met his Mom was last Christmas, more than 9 months ago.
Thinking of this, Fly began his usual routine of checking in on his mother.
Annie, as a mother, was not as impatient as Dad Li.
Even if she knew that her unfilial son probably didn't think about his mother at all on a daily basis.
But she didn't mind listening to her son's words of concern.
After all, it was her son's filial piety, and she couldn't refuse it, could she?
Finally, after asking his mother about some trivial matters, Fly got to the point and quietly said, "Mommy, Taylor's new album, can you see if you can help?"
Annie on the other end of the phone shook her head and smiled wryly, saying to her unfilial son in an annoyed tone, "Don't worry, I've already arranged everything that needs to be arranged. Isn't your wife my daughter-in-law?"
"We're all family, how could Mom not help?"
Taylor, who was next to the phone, couldn't help but smile when she heard this.
Her boyfriend is really silly, does he really need to specifically ask our Mom about this kind of thing?
Does he really think everyone is as unreliable as this stinky younger brother of hers?
Finally, after chatting with the two ladies in his family for a while, Fly hung up the phone.
Thinking of his mother, Fly suddenly realized something.
That is, this year, and even for many years to come, he won't be able to go home for Christmas.
Because the Premier League has a packed schedule around Christmas, with a very high frequency of matches!
Playing three matches a week is a common occurrence!
Arsenal's collapses in previous seasons basically happened during this period.
If Fly wants to change his destiny, he must perform exceptionally well during the period around Christmas and lead the team to stabilize their record.
Only by maintaining a relatively stable record until February of the following year can Arsenal truly be considered a "half-season champion."
Thinking of this, Fly couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
Ultimately, Arsenal's squad is still too thin.
If they had the squad depth of Chelsea, why would Fly need to worry about this?
"Why think so much? It's not even time yet, just do it!"
Slapping himself twice with his palm, Fly forced himself to cheer up and prepare to fight to the end.
Although after the match against Chelsea, it entered the FIFA international break again.
But Fly did not choose to go back to the United States to accompany his girlfriend, but stayed at Kearney Training Base to train.
In the match against Chelsea, Fly found that his physical fitness was indeed not enough in such a high-level game.
Without a long period of walking and hiding to conserve energy, Fly simply couldn't last the entire match!
Therefore, his top priority now is to improve his physical fitness.
