"Two hat-tricks this season."
"Impressive!"
"See you at the European Cup next year."
"The new king of France's wings!"
"A new supercar!"
The players laughed and exclaimed, noticing a change in Ma'el's expression. If before, Ma'el was only known as the record king of the lower leagues and the superstar of the top league,
now he could add another title: a main player for the French National Team.....and this main player might slowly become the core in the future!
Once the chatter died down, Wenger discussed the tactics and points to note for tomorrow's home game against Dortmund.
With 4 wins in 4 group matches and 12 points, leading second-placed Dortmund by 7 points, Arsenal had already secured the top spot in the group, so most of the main players were not in the starting lineup.
Ma'el was not even included in the squad list, as Wenger seemed to want him to rest for a game, saving his strength for a Premier League and English League Cup match at the end of the month.
