The teammates were overjoyed at Lei Ming's return, especially the defensive pairing who had previously worked well with him; they were eager to recapture the feeling they had in that match against Liverpool.

"Haha, Lei, you're finally back! How's it going? Will you be leading us in this match?"

Holding, Koscielny, and Mustafi put their arms around Lei Ming's shoulders and discussed it in hushed tones. Faced with this request, Lei Ming hesitated only for a moment before nodding in agreement.

On the sidelines, the coaching staff watched everything that happened on the field, and they all wore expectant smiles.

Unexpectedly, Lei Ming was accepted by these defenders as soon as he came on the field, which shows that he has clearly won their hearts.

In the subsequent intra-squad scrimmage, Lei Ming once again displayed his perfect form, making several brilliant saves that prompted the substitutes to plead with him to go easy on them. "You guys have scored six goals, and we haven't scored a single one. If this continues, we can forget about being teammates in the future!"

Faced with threats from his teammates, Lei Ming eventually chose to compromise and went a little easy on them, which made the game a bit more interesting. The intra-team scrimmage ended with a score of 8-4. The substitutes said that they would do anything to get into the main team in the future.

...

"Brothers, good news! This time, we can finally see Thunder play on the field again."

"That's right, you heard me correctly. In tonight's match, Lei Ming will once again be Arsenal's starting goalkeeper. Brothers, I'm going to get some sleep. See you tonight!"

Since Premier League matches are mostly broadcast late at night in China, this kind of scene also happens to many streamers. After all, more and more people have started to know how to ride on the popularity of the Premier League. It has even reached the point where even if you go to sleep and there is no one in the live broadcast room, a large number of netizens will still flood in to watch. This is simply a miracle for some streamers who rack their brains to become famous.

The thunder was like a ray of light illuminating their dim path.

......

Before the match began, both teams of players sat in the locker room listening to their head coach's final instructions.

Wenger spoke eloquently in front, while Lei Ming listened attentively with his head down, carefully tying his shoes.

As it was time for them to take the field, the coach clapped his hands to encourage the players: "Come on, lads, don't be under pressure, play well."

Brighton is a team that consistently plays in the safe zone, and Wenger certainly cannot underestimate such a team.

After all, last season they were only one position above the safe zone, so they really had no right to look down on their opponents.

In the cruel world of football, every point earned is important to them, and he believes that they can do even better this season.

As he stood on the sidelines pondering how Brighton would deal with them in this match, the sudden cheers erupting from the stadium startled him.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the commotion was caused by Lei walking out.

Even at this moment, he was surprised to see a giant tifo of Henry's arrival in the south stand of the Emirates Stadium. Fans were singing and dancing, making the 50,000-seat Emirates Stadium exceptionally lively.

He looked at the slightly excited fans, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

"Lei, keep it up, you're the best!"

"Lei, look this way, we're here to cheer you on!"

"Ray, welcome back. Henry the Great has come to greet you."

...

To be honest, Lei Ming, who had just come out, was also quite surprised by the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene.

These people are completely different from when he first arrived at Arsenal.

At that moment, he felt something called dopamine burning inside him, and he began to like this place.

Many Arsenal players watched with envy as the fans held a welcoming ceremony for Lei Ming; for some reason, a sense of envy even arose in some of their hearts.

They couldn't understand why many of them had played for Arsenal for several seasons but never received this treatment, while Lei Ming achieved it after only a three-match suspension. Was the key to getting this treatment only after being suspended?

Let's just forget about it! Some players backed down immediately at the thought of this.

If they do that, they might end up as substitutes when they come back!

Among them, Lacazette is the one who envies Lei Ming the most, and he also understands the reason why the fans are like this the most. Although he has helped the team score a lot of goals so far, he also knows that the team's victory in the match between Liverpool and Chelsea is inseparable from Lei Ming's performance. With him, the team's defense immediately becomes very stable.

Looking at the last three games speaks for itself. I don't think the fans are blind. It's perfectly reasonable for them to make this move when Thunder come back.

......

"Holy crap! What the heck?! Guys! Hurry up! Get up and look! Scream! Look, look! This is the hottest fans welcoming our Thunder with Henry the Great! Wow, this is absolutely amazing! Without a doubt, this will be the hottest topic on the front page today!"

"As a seasoned fan, this is the first time I've ever seen an Asian player receive this kind of treatment in a European match. It's absolutely unprecedented."

This scene unfolded in many Chinese live-streaming rooms, and almost everyone was thrown into a frenzy.

After that incident a while ago, Lei Ming's number of fans in China skyrocketed, which is why many streamers have the misconception that "whoever gets Lei Ming gets traffic."

After the start of the 7th round of the Premier League, the late-night broadcasters were even more excited, shouting and cheering. Whenever they saw Arsenal's defense, directed by Lei Ming, perfectly intercept Brighton's attacks, they couldn't help but applaud.

This is the kind of defense they want to see!

Yes, this is the kind of vibe we've been waiting for for many years!

The team hasn't faced this level of defense for many years since Vieira left.

The fans at the Chiefs stadium couldn't help but give the team's defense a warm round of applause when they saw the spirit they displayed at that moment. Who says defense isn't valued? At least they really liked this kind of defense.
