Chapter 152 - 152: Ferguson Stunned—Is This His Final Season

"Starting today, the Premier League goal record will no longer bear the name of Alan Shearer!"

"A brand new legend belongs solely to Kai!"

Under the night sky of North London—

The home commentator roared with excitement!

Inside the Emirates Stadium, a wave of frenzy swept through the air, ignited by the deafening roars of Arsenal fans.

Below the stands, Kai welcomed the cheers with open arms!

To Manchester United's traveling fans, the scoreboard on the sidelines was like a dagger to the heart—

3:0!

And the first half wasn't even over yet.

The reigning Premier League champions—Manchester United—were already down by three at the Emirates!

And that third goal?

It was Kai's 35th Premier League goal of the season.

A brand new, earth-shattering record!

"Our captain now holds the record for both goals and assists in a Premier League season!"

"This is insane!!"

"We're playing alongside a Premier League legend!"

Arsenal's bench exploded in celebration!

Giroud, Mertesacker, and others clutched their heads and screamed in disbelief.

On the sidelines, Wenger clapped ecstatically.

What a magical night!

For every Gunner in the stadium—

It was pure euphoria.

As Wenger applauded from the touchline—

The entire Emirates was engulfed in thunderous cheers and applause.

The deafening sound rolled in from every corner of the stadium.

An avalanche of noise and passion wrapped around Kai like a crown.

"A new chapter in Premier League history!"

"Single-season goals, single-season assists—he's rewritten both!"

"From today on, this super prodigy—captain of Arsenal and the most valuable player in history—has firmly etched his name into the annals of Premier League lore!"

Chinese Broadcast Studio.

Commentator Zhan Jun's voice cracked with emotion:

"Absolutely unbelievable! Kai!!"

"What... can... I... say?! He's the record-holder for both goals and assists! The undisputed king of the Premier League!"

"Arsenal's move to sign Kai was—without a doubt—the club's greatest decision in over a century!"

"We are invincible!"

Fans across China erupted in joy.

Even though every football fan there knew—

No matter how brilliant Kai was, he would never suit up for the national team.

But so what?

Just being able to witness a Chinese-blooded superstar rampaging through the world's most competitive football league—

Was more than enough to drive fans across China wild with pride!

Back at the Emirates—

After a wild goal celebration, Arsenal players made their way back to their half.

On the other side, the Manchester United players looked utterly defeated.

Ferguson had already ducked into the dugout.

As the reigning champion, and after more than twenty years at the helm of the Red Devils—

Ferguson had entered this season with grand ambitions.

Arsenal, who hadn't won a title in eight years, had been in decline and turmoil for most of the past decade.

In past years, Ferguson hadn't even considered Wenger's team a serious threat.

Even in their so-called "red derby" clashes, Arsenal had usually lost more than they won. They were clearly the underdogs.

But tonight—

Faced with this reborn Arsenal, led by Kai—

The same Manchester United squad that dominated last season and cruised to the league title—

Now looked like a relegation team!

They had absolutely no way to handle this Arsenal side!

The remainder of the first half quickly ticked away.

As the halftime whistle blew—

The Emirates erupted once again in thunderous celebration!

The Manchester United players trudged back toward the tunnel, heads down and spirits crushed.

The Arsenal fans showed no mercy—drowning them in a storm of boos!

The pain of that night at Old Trafford seven years ago still burned in Gunners' hearts.

Wayne Rooney stormed into the tunnel with a dark scowl.

One by one, the United players disappeared into the tunnel, weighed down by despair.

Meanwhile, the Emirates continued to rumble with unrelenting energy.

Inside the locker room—

The Manchester United players sat silently in their seats.

The atmosphere in the locker room was heavy and wordless.

Sir Alex Ferguson paced back and forth, hands clasped behind his back.

The United coaching staff stood by, visibly anxious and helpless.

They had already played all their cards—

But nothing had worked.

Under Ferguson's leadership, this Manchester United team had just lifted the Premier League trophy last season.

But Ferguson knew all too well—

This year's squad was clearly aging.

At the back, the transition between the veteran center-back pairing and younger players like Smalling wasn't going smoothly.

And in attack, Rooney was their only real hope.

Down 0–3 at halftime.

Even Ferguson had run out of solutions to stop this terrifying Arsenal side!

For a brief moment—

The 70-year-old legend suddenly felt… tired.

Was it time to retire?

The man who had reigned over Old Trafford for over two decades—

Suddenly had a melancholy thought creep into his heart.

But Ferguson wasn't ready to give in.

On one hand—

He still hadn't led Manchester United to another Treble.

And on the other—

He still hadn't coached that one super prodigy he admired so deeply.

How could he retire like this?

Meanwhile, in Arsenal's locker room—

The atmosphere was electric, filled with uncontainable excitement.

Wenger had gathered the whole team—

To give Kai a small, impromptu celebration.

"Leader of the Gunners!"

"Creator of legends!"

"The most worthy captain we could ask for!"

The cheers and chants in the Arsenal dressing room were deafening!

Every single player's eyes were lit with joy and reverence.

One by one, they came forward—

Each hugging Kai with excitement and admiration.

"Second half—we keep control! We win this game, and the next, and the next!"

"This season, we're not just winning the title—we're going to do it undefeated, maybe even perfect!"

Kai raised his arm and shouted with passion.

The locker room erupted with energy!

Undefeated Premier League title?!

Every Arsenal player's eyes flashed with disbelief and wild excitement.

Dear God—

Even in football history, such a feat was almost unimaginable.

But now?

The Gunners were truly fired up.

Unprecedented didn't mean impossible.

This season—under Kai's leadership—they had already won countless matches, shattered expectations, and created too many miracles to count!

And miracles—

Were always written by the brave.

Fifteen minutes of halftime passed quickly.

When both teams returned to the pitch—

The Emirates once again surged with roaring momentum!

Wenger chose to keep the same setup.

Ferguson, on the other hand, had no more cards left to play.

The second half began—and United continued to struggle.

But Arsenal?

They charged forward like a tidal wave!

Kai played like a tireless superhuman—

Appearing everywhere in both defense and attack!

All-out pressing, total football—

He was battering United's structure from every angle!

74th minute—

A messy midfield tussle broke out near the sideline.

Having already conceded three goals, United players were clearly starting to lose their composure.

Arsenal took a throw-in.

Carrick, in frustration, launched into a wild sliding tackle, knocking Gibbs to the ground.

Just as the crowd began to explode in boos—

Valencia charged in toward the loose ball, looking to launch a counterattack.

But Arteta suddenly stepped in, turning his body to block Valencia's path—

And bodied him straight off the ball, sending him flying two or three meters away!

Valencia cursed and yanked on Arteta's shirt in frustration.

The two quickly started shoving each other.

Meanwhile, Gibbs climbed back to his feet and got tangled up with Carrick—

And tensions began to boil over…
