Chapter 807 - 145: Record-Breaking! Finale Transfer! Outrageous Factions! Goodbye, Henry! The Biggest Victory in History!

9-0!

This tied the record for the biggest victory in Premier League history, set by Manchester United in March 1995!

During the 30th round of the 1994-1995 season, Manchester United had thrashed Ipswich Town 9-0, with Andy Cole alone scoring five goals.

Just two minutes later, in the third minute of stoppage time, Wang Shuo intercepted the ball from Blackburn center-back Hanley in the frontcourt and launched a rapid counterattack with Henry. The two of them charged into the penalty area simultaneously, forming a two-on-one situation.

After receiving the ball on the right side of the box and drawing the attention of the defense and goalkeeper Robinson, Wang Shuo, despite being in a perfect position to shoot, selflessly passed the ball across to Henry.

The French forward easily slotted it into the empty net.

10-0!

The moment Henry scored, the entire stadium erupted into a frenzy of cheers. Everyone stared in disbelief at the stubble-faced Henry sprinting across the pitch. He had once brought Arsenal fans glory and countless moments of joy. Now, after a long journey, he had returned to Arsenal!

Upon scoring, Henry rushed to the sidelines to celebrate. He threw his arm around Wang Shuo, repeatedly giving a thumbs-up to the fans in the stands and pointing directly at him.

"What a truly moving scene!" the broadcast commentator exclaimed.

"We’re seeing Arsenal break the record for the biggest victory in Premier League history, previously set by Manchester United.

"10-0!

"The last time there were double-digit goals in the English top flight was in 1963, during the 1963-1964 season. Back then, it was still the First Division, and in the 24th round, Fulham defeated Ipswich Town 10-1.

"And the last 10-0 victory dates all the way back to January 19, 1929, when Sheffield United crushed Burnley 10-0 at home.

"Who would have thought that after nearly half a century, we would see double-digit scores again, and after more than eighty years, we would witness another magnificent 10-0 victory!

"What’s even more touching is that in the final moments of the match, we saw that Wang Shuo didn’t really have any desire to score more goals himself. He was mostly focusing on assisting his teammates.

"This includes his pass to Pogba, and that final, selfless cross to Henry.

"And now, on the sidelines, Henry is using his actions to introduce Wang Shuo to all the Gunners fans.

"I believe Henry is saying that Wang Shuo is outstanding, the true and undisputed leader of Arsenal right now!

"We all know that according to the previous agreement, Arsenal loaned Henry for two months.

"And now, that contract is about to expire, and Henry is about to leave. This is his final home game.

"Wang Shuo gifted him a precious goal!

"This is also Henry’s only goal since rejoining Arsenal.

"We absolutely have reason to believe that Henry can now leave with complete peace of mind.

"Even though Arsenal might never have Henry again after today, the Gunners have a younger Wang Shuo.

"On this memorable day, in Henry’s final home game for the Gunners, they slaughtered Blackburn 10-0 to send him off!

"It’s like a perfect passing of the torch between two generations of Kings of the Gunners!"

...

After slaughtering Blackburn 10-0 at home, Henry accepted interviews with the media.

"Actually, I didn’t do much, because when I came on, the team was already leading 8-0."

Regarding Wang Shuo, Henry offered extremely high praise.

"The Arsenal of today is vastly different from when I left.

"During my time back with the Gunners, I’ve witnessed everything Wang Shuo has done with my own eyes. He has brought earth-shattering changes to the team, and I can only offer my highest praise!

"He is the most incredible player I have ever seen!"

Wang Shuo was also interviewed by reporters after the match, explaining the significance of that final pass.

"All of us knew that scoring for Arsenal again was Henry’s wish, and we wanted to help him achieve it.

"It’s something deeply meaningful!

"At Arsenal, Henry is special, and he deserves a special goal to make everyone remember him all over again!"

After the match ended, when Wang Shuo led the players around the pitch to thank the fans, Henry shed tears right there in front of the Arsenal supporters.

Wang Shuo felt that this wouldn’t be the end.

"I told him that I hope one day he can return to continue helping us, helping this team he loves so much. I’m really looking forward to it!"

Wang Shuo’s implication was that after Henry retired, he could return to work as a coach or in another capacity. This was also an open invitation extended to him by Arsenal and Wenger.
