Chapter 254 Record Crusher?He is also a World Wave user!

The 2015th round of the 2016-25 Premier League season has come to an end. Arsenal has finally ended its consecutive double matches and entered a complete one-week preparation state.

Wenger was in a good mood and waved his hand in the locker room, and all the players who played in the game were given a day and a half off.

Martin, as before, still chooses to drive to Kearney training base every day for additional training.

Euphemistically known as: Stay in good competitive shape!
In preparation for the home league match against Leicester City, the Colney training base once again welcomed Premier League staff.

With his outstanding performance in January, Martin won his third Player of the Month award in the Premier League!

And this is also the record since the inception of the Premier League Player of the Month award!

Mainstream European media were full of praise for this, saying that Martin will set more records in his future career.

The authoritative media "L'Equipe" from France even gave Martin a title that is consistent with his characteristics since his debut - Record Breaker!
Arsenal and Martin's concentration has not been affected by the outside world, and they have always focused on the next league.

Top battle!

The title is atmospheric enough, but many fans believe that the result of the game will not affect the overall situation no matter what.

After all, Arsenal leads Leicester City by a full 13 points.

Only the win expanded to 16 points, the draw difference remained unchanged, and the loss narrowed to 10 points.

However, the highlight of the 26th round of the Premier League is not only Arsenal VS Leicester City, but also Manchester City VS Tottenham.

In the two league games, the first kick was second, and the third kick was fourth.

The first league game kicked off at the Stadium of Light on the banks of the River Wear in northeastern England, with second-to-last Sunderland hosting the Red Devils.

It was supposed to be a game without any suspense. Unexpectedly, Sunderland, who was in the relegation circle, finally defeated the visiting Manchester United 10:2 after 1 minutes of hard work and gave the opponent a two-game winless victory.

Arsenal vs. Leicester City is scheduled for [-]pm on Sunday, and Manchester City vs. Tottenham is scheduled for [-]pm.

Both games are scheduled in independent time slots and will not conflict with other Premier League games, allowing both games to maintain extremely high ratings.

The atmosphere within the Arsenal team at Colney training base is very good.

The coaching staff headed by Wenger was less solemn than usual and had many more smiles.

First of all, the team performed well in the league and topped the list.

EFL Cup final.

The FA Cup has also entered the fifth round. The draw just ended was very good. The opponent was Hull City from the English Championship.

In addition, Welbeck, who has been injured for a long time, and Coquelin, who served as Martin's midfielder partner last season, have received permission from the medical team to participate in full team training.

This also means that Welbeck can come on as a substitute in the league match at home against Leicester City.

On the day of the game, a large number of gun fans gathered around the Emirates Stadium, even though there were still several hours before kick-off.

They danced and cheered, preparing for the next focus game of the league.

Fans in small groups sang the team anthem, spreading from a small area to the entire Emirates Stadium.

Martin has just surpassed Thierry Henry to set a new Premier League record for direct involvement in goals, and Gunners fans are loving him.

Therefore, there are still a large number of Arsenal fans singing "Martin Song".

This popular song among Arsenal fans can be heard even near the hotel where Arsenal players are staying.

The catchy tone and rhythmic melody always make gun fans unable to help but hum a few lines.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye it was one o'clock in the afternoon. The Arsenal team took the bus from the hotel to the main road leading to the Emirates Stadium.

The overwhelming shouts came in waves one after another.

Through the glass window, Martin saw a large number of fans holding up slogans, banners, and handsome posters related to him. The corners of his mouth could not help but raise, revealing a handsome smile.

The sharp-eyed female fans suddenly became excited when they saw Martin smiling.

[Horse, horse, horse—Martin smiles at me!Hahaha--】

【Did you read it wrong?He's obviously looking at me! 】

[My mother is bulging forward and backward, she must be smiling at me! 】

……

Although Martin couldn't understand why the large number of female fans suddenly became excited, he could detect something through the emotions of these fans.

Hey, I blame myself for being so handsome~
……

An hour before the game, the Premier League officially announced the starting list submitted by both sides of the game.

The home team Arsenal naturally fielded the strongest lineup.

4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Defenders: Monreal, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Bellerin
Defenders: Flamini, Martin

Forwards: Sanchez, Ramsey, Chamberlain

The official starting formation given by the visiting team Leicester City is 442.

Goalkeeper: Schmeichel Jr.
Defenders: Fuchs, Huth, Morgan, Simpson

Forwards: Vardy, Shinji Okazaki

……

Dragon Nation fans saw Sakura Nation international player Okazaki Shinji starting the game and once again opened INS and Twitter, the social media software frequently used by Sakura Nation fans, @ the previously arrogant and domineering Sakura Nation fans.

Perhaps considering that Martin won, few Sakura fans dared to reply.

Because the faces of Sakura fans who responded in the past have been smashed...

They don't want to repeat the same mistakes.

A large number of Dragon Country fans saw that few Sakura Country fans talked back, so they sighed and returned to their neckbands, guessing what kind of amazing performance Martin would have in the next league.

虽然距离梅西的50球19助攻共69个参与进球还有24个,但英超联赛还有13轮,理论上是有超越的可能性。

Out of their absolute trust in Martin, they all said - No problem!

The same goes for gun fans on major social media.

Everyone thought that the final result was that Arsenal won and Martin dominated the game, passing and shooting!

Fans who came to the Emirates Stadium in advance for the game could fully feel the possibility through Martin's warm-up with the ball before the game.

There is a play!

Whether it is catching crosses, corner kicks, set-piece passes, or long-range shots and volleys from outside the penalty area, the hit rate is quite high, causing goalkeeper Cech to frequently show his hands helplessly.

Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai, who was commentating on the game on the spot, updated his latest news on his personal scarf: Martin is in great condition!
"aoaoaooaoaoooo——"

Feeling that Martin was in excellent condition, the Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium became more powerful, with overwhelming cheers coming one after another.

Not long after, "Martin's Song", which became popular among gun fans, quickly spread to several stands at the Emirates Stadium and spread throughout the stadium!

Many Leicester City players could not help frowning during the warm-up.

Especially seeing Martin in excellent condition, nervousness swept through his body instantly.

Against this background, the focus of the 2015th round of the 2016-26 Premier League season begins at the Emirates Stadium...!

……

"Beautiful! Martin! Leap high! Beat Huth and Vardy to complete the header!"

Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai shouted hoarsely: "If it weren't for Schmeichel's divine help in front of goal, Martin would have helped Arsenal take the lead! What a pity!"

Martin, who appeared on the broadcast screen, pursed his lips and shook his head, then gave a thumbs up to Sanchez who sent a precise corner kick.

The Leicester City players in the penalty area obviously felt that Martin was in excellent condition, and they all felt huge pressure.

Leicester City head coach Claudio Ranieri, who was standing in the visiting team's coaching area, frowned and felt a hint of uneasiness in his heart.

Martin is in really good shape.

It gives people a sense of déjà vu as the shark is going crazy.

The Arsenal fans in the audience saw Martin in excellent condition, and the momentum they erupted lasted for a long time.

Many fans stood up directly and waved their fan scarves to exaggerate the fanatical home atmosphere.

Almost all Leicester City fans who traveled with the team held their heads in their hands and stared at the penalty area, hoping that Martin and other Arsenal fans would not hit the football...

Otherwise, their little hearts will not be able to withstand such a test.

He watched breathlessly as Sanchez took another corner kick. Fortunately, the quality was not high. Morgan pushed it out. Mahrez, who was guarding the edge of the penalty area on the right, followed up with a big-footed clearance and sent the ball to the center circle. Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech in action nearby.

Both the Leicester City fans at the scene and the Leicester City fans in front of the TV couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Cech kicked the ball to the corresponding right back Bellerin, and then through Flamini's transfer, the football came to Martin's feet.

Facing Vardy's pressing, Martin turned around to protect the ball 360 degrees.

"Martin!"

"Martin!!"

"Martin!!!"

The Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium subconsciously let out a huge roar, cheering for Martin who organized the attack.

Attacking the right rib, he sent a long diagonal pass. Monreal, who was close to the left sideline, directly used the arch of his left foot to pass the ball to Sanchez in the rib.

Leicester City, like many teams that met Arsenal, set up a bus, so that Sanchez, who received the ball, did not have much room to deal with it.

Giroud was in the penalty area, but he was stuck in the middle by Morgan and Hut, and his position was very poor.Therefore, Sanchez handed the ball to Flamini, who then passed it to Martin's feet.

Through continuous multiple passes, Martin's offense did not create a very good shooting opportunity.

Obviously, the visiting team formulated targeted tactics before the game.

There is no attack for the time being. All players except Vardy are squatting near the penalty area, fully compressing Arsenal's offensive space.

The best way to attack in this situation is through crosses and long shots.

After several consecutive passes without finding Giroud or Ramsey in the penalty area, Martin decided to try his feet to see if he could cause some trouble for Schmeichel.

In the 9th minute of the game, Martin received a diagonal pass from Bellerin on the right.

He stopped and passed, and then shot a cold arrow at the right rib about 30 meters away from the goal.

The football shot up from the ground like a cannonball, passing at high speed in front of Kanter who stepped forward to block the ball.

Goalkeeper Schmeichel was very focused and dived sideways to the left to block the ball from the outer edge of the right goal post.

corner kick.

"Pretty!"

"Flick good!"

"handsome!"

"here you go!"

Huth, Morgan, Fuchs and other Leicester City fans slapped Schmeichel on the shoulders, butt, and forehead, fully expressing the key to this save.

Only Schmeichel is suffering.

It looked like a wonderful save, but the football Martin played was very powerful.

The palm of his left hand is still a little numb.

Fake!

With so much strength, what did you eat to grow up?

Soon, the Leicester City defensive players who had just breathed a sigh of relief became frightened again.

Next, is Arsenal's extremely threatening corner kick attack.

Ranieri once again came to the visiting team's coach to direct the technical area, calling on the players to concentrate on the game and not to let Arsenal players grab the spot.

Arsenal may not have high points, but the quality is extremely high.

Giroud, Martin, Koscielny and Mertesacker all have strong header capabilities.

Especially Martin, who is currently the top scorer.

Since the beginning of this game, he has shown a very high competitive state, which makes people have to guard against.

Leicester City players Vardy, Mahrez, Drinkwater, Morgan, Huth and other players focused their nervous eyes on the Arsenal players they were marking.

Vardy and Huth, who were marking Martin, had particularly solemn expressions.

In order to complete the defensive task, the two almost sandwiched Martin, like a sandwich.

Martin looked at Vardy and said: "Jamie, don't be so nervous, I won't fight for the top spot."

"I believe you, you little guy is very bad."

Vardy rolled his eyes.

Immediately, Sanchez took a corner kick.

The ball's placement is indeed not given to Martin, but to Koscielny at the back point.

Under pressure from Drinkwater and Albrighton, Koscielny failed to adjust his aim, and the football missed the outside of the right goal post and hit the aluminum billboard behind the goal, making a crisp collision sound.

"I'll just say it."

Martin spread his hands towards Vardy who let out a sigh of relief.

Vardy: "..."

Schmeichel Jr. took a short goal kick from the backcourt and moved the football to Arsenal's defensive half through layers of advancement.

Considering Arsenal's ability to score from defense to offense, Ranieri's team naturally does not dare to invest too many troops. The standard offense is that the two full-backs basically do not exceed the 30-meter area.

Football is also mainly left to Mahrez, who looks for opportunities with his superb ability to create opportunities.

Wenger had thoroughly studied Ranieri's tactics before the game and knew how to defend.

Therefore, facing Leicester City's relatively single offense, it is very easy to defend.

Of course, this is also directly related to the defensive counterattack tactics Ranieri formulated before the game.

Leicester City's ability to rank second in the league after 25 rounds is largely due to their good defensive counterattacks.

This season, Vardy suddenly broke out again. His counterattacks from defense to offense were extremely efficient in scoring. As a result, Leicester City beat many Premier League giants and ranked second in the league.

The game came to 10 minutes, and the scoreboard still showed 0:0.

Leicester City, who gained an offensive opportunity, used Mahrez's ball to create some threats, but in the end it did not bring any pressure to Cech.

Arsenal attacked from the back, but Leicester dropped back to half-court defense early on, setting up a tight fence and waiting for the home team to make a mistake.

"aoaoaooaooooo—"

The home fans at the Emirates Stadium were still as loud as ever, with overwhelming cheers coming one after another.

Martin continues to connect the overall offense through active running and passing, and uses the frequent involvement of the two wings to find Leicester City's defensive gaps.

After another 10 minutes of the game, Martin realized that it was really difficult to open a gap against Leicester City's defensive strategy of defending the 30-meter zone.

However, there are ways to crack this tactic.

In addition to set kicks and long shots, there is also the need to wait until the physical fitness of Leicester City's defensive players declines.

In the blink of an eye, the game came to the end of the first half.

The coaches of both sides stood in their respective command areas and signaled their players to calm down and not to lose control during this period.

According to statistics from a certain statistical organization, the end of the first half is the most likely time to score.

It is good to score goals, but no one knows whether the goal is for our own team.

As soon as Martin completed a long pass to the left about 35 meters away from the goal in the middle, the fourth official held up the electronic sign indicating 1 minute of injury time.

"There's one minute left in the first half."

Xinying sports commentator Jin Xiangkai shouted passionately.

Monreal, who was on the sidelines, passed his left foot to Sanchez in the ribs. The latter took the ball and lay down for two steps. After a while, he realized that the defending Leicester City player was unmoved, so he had to pass the ball again. To Monreal on the outside.

The football was passed here, and Monreal saw the defensive player coming over, so he had to kick and pass.

The cross was rushed and the landing point was not good. The football flew towards the area controlled by Morgan in front of the small penalty area.

Giroud strictly implemented the tactical intentions of head coach Wenger. Although his position was not good and there was a high probability that he would not be able to hold up the football, he still chose to keep up with Morgan.

Morgan, who was about to head the ball to clear the ball, received the force from Giroud behind him, and his upper body leaned forward involuntarily. He originally planned to use his forehead to throw the ball towards the front of the penalty area on the left, but as a result, his forehead rubbed the bottom of the football while struggling to clear the ball.

As a result, the football fell uncontrollably in a weird parabola two meters from the left front edge of the top of the arc in the penalty area.

"aoaoaooaooo—"

The fanatical atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium rose instantly.

because……

Lex Sports commentator Zhan Jun saw the Arsenal players appearing on the broadcast screen, and his voice suddenly rose an octave: "Martin——"

The Leicester City defensive players in the penalty area were all shocked.

Kanter and Drinkwater reacted very quickly. They turned around and ran towards the spot where the football landed.

However, Martin, who happened to be on the route, did not need to make adjustments.

His left foot supported his body, and his right foot swung from back to front, and the outer instep hit the middle and lower part of the football that dropped to the height of his calf half a meter in front of him.

Standing in the coaching area of ​​the away team, Ranieri's pupils shrank. When he saw the figure he least wanted to see, strong uneasiness swept through his body instantly.

Boom~
A crisp muffled sound suddenly exploded over the Emirates Stadium.

The football kicked out by Martin was like a cannon that came out of the barrel. It passed between the encircling Kanter and Drinkwater at lightning speed and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Schmeichel subconsciously crossed his right foot to the left, jumped sideways with the help of weak inertia, and quickly reached up with his left hand.

He looked at the football that was so close, and he could already feel the surging power on his fingertips, and a faint smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

The next moment, his smile froze.

The fingertips of the index finger, middle finger and ring finger of the left hand that were working hard were instantly broken by a flood as if it had burst a dam. The football, which had slightly changed its trajectory, did not deviate too far and hit the upper edge of the right goal post and bounced into the net...

"Goooooooooooal—"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray subconsciously lengthened his voice.

"The ball is scored! World wave!"

Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai exploded with emotion and shouted passionately: "In the injury time of the first half, Martin, who appeared at the front of the penalty area, shot without stopping the ball. Schmeichel's fingers seemed to be still there. He touched the football, but it didn't stop Martin from scoring! The football hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the goal! World Wave User is indeed well-deserved!"

"Wonderful goal! Martin again! Icebreaker! Arsenal broke the deadlock at the end of the first half!"

Leshi sports commentator Zhan Jun said impassionedly: "Martin was simply born to make waves in the world! He is so strong! Every goal he scores is full of fun to watch! It is amazing!"
