Chapter 257 Carry out happiness to the end

"The referee Anthony Taylor made an obvious misjudgment! Martin defended very well! When he fell to the ground and tackled, he kicked the ball first and then brought down De Bruyne."

James Sports commentator Zhan Jun said impassionedly: "But then again, Martin really showed no mercy. During the movement, he connected the ball with the ball from the side and swept De Bruyne to the ground, but it was really different." explain."

At the same time, De Bruyne looked at Martin, who was smiling, and gave a speechless expression, but he still followed the other person's extended hand and stood up.

"Can't you be gentle?"

Martin shrugged and said: "You are already very gentle. If it were another person, he would have ended long ago."

De Bruyne: "..."

"wuwuwuuuuuu——"

Arsenal fans at the new Wembley Stadium sent raucous boos to referee Anthony Taylor, apparently believing that the whistle had been blown.

In their view, Martin's defensive actions are very clean and he rarely commits fouls.

Countless fans who sat in front of the TV to watch the game live were speechless at the foul called by the referee through the slow-motion replay.

Other leagues may call fouls, but the British stadium encourages fierce physical confrontation, and Martin fell to the ground and shoveled with no intention of hurting anyone, so it did not constitute a foul at all.

De Bruyne helped Manchester City get a direct free kick 30 meters from the goal in the middle.

Aguero, who wanted to test his feet, fired his anti-aircraft cannon and flew directly to the second-floor stands of the auditorium, causing Arsenal fans to burst into ironic laughter.

Aguero, who has rich experience in competitions, is used to seeing big winds and waves. He also missed the championship in the World Cup in Brazil the year before last. He has a strong psychological endurance. How could he be affected by the laughter of Arsenal fans?
He is working hard now, wanting to show off Arsenal in the next game and let these people know that he is not easy to mess with!
Ospina took a short goal kick, and after two passes, the football came to the feet of Martin near the center arc.

Aguero pushed forward, but without any surprise, Martin took advantage of the change in rhythm to easily get past him.

Seeing that Manchester City's defensive formation remained very compact, Martin did not continue to stick to the ball and directly handed the ball to Sanchez who was attacking on the left side.

After a series of multiple passes, Bellerin on the right made a slight adjustment, and the football he kicked hit Arsenal's old player Clichy and used his body to block the baseline.

corner kick.

"aoaoaoaooaoooo——"

The atmosphere at the new Wembley Stadium instantly improved. Arsenal fans and neutral fans obviously realized that the following corner kick might result in a goal, and the explosive momentum reached its highest peak since the start of the game.

Giroud, Martin, Mertesacker and Koscielny are all good headers.

In particular, Martin's recent state of being directly involved in scoring goals is quite good.

Scoring a goal feels good, assisting feels the same.

Considering this situation, Manchester City's strongest captain Kompany shouldered the important task of marking Martin.

The defensive player is Martin's Wolfsburg teammate De Bruyne.

"Do you want to value me so much?"

Martin turned to De Bruyne and said.

"Don't try to deceive me with your little trick."

De Bruyne had already been tricked, and after saying that, he was not going to ignore Martin, and even said to Kompany: "Winterson, ignore him."

“I really didn’t participate in direct headers this time.”

Martin said with sincerity.

De Bruyne and Kompany both looked askance at Martin, with the words 'Do you think we would believe it' written on the door? '.

"Okay, if you don't believe me, I'll throw you away."

Martin spread his hands.

Sanchez took a corner kick on the right, and Martin, who was standing on the left side with his hands raised, did as he said and had no intention of fighting for the top.

The football was hit by the 1.9-meter-[-] Mertesacker in the middle of the penalty area.

However, under the interference of Otamendi and Sagna, he did not adjust his aim properly, and the football missed the left goal post.

"I just said I won't fight for the top spot, right?"

Martin reached out and patted De Bruyne on the shoulder.

"Can you fight for it?"

De Bruyne said speechlessly.

"Don't say anything. If I want to grab some, you two really can't defend me."

Martin laughed playfully.

Kompany immediately became unhappy when he heard this. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Boy, are you sure?"

"Would you like to compare the set pieces next time?"

"Who's afraid of whom?"

De Bruyne immediately realized that the situation was not good. It was obviously captain Kompany who had fallen into Martin's aggressive tactics.

"it is good."

Martin showed a victorious smile and quickly ran back to his own half.

"Captain, you are confused, he is irritating you."

"I know."

Kompany looked at Martin's back with a faint smile on his face: "But sometimes it should be like this. He is Arsenal's strongest point. I am the captain of the team. At this time, I should stand up and defeat the strongest. Only those who can help the team win the game.”

"Uh, also..."

De Bruyne sounds reasonable, but what he wants to say is... you don't know how abnormal that guy's growth rate is.

When he was playing for Wolfsburg, he was just a full-back with fast speed and strong passing ability. Later... he transformed into a defensive midfielder and learned some organizational skills from himself. As a result... he started to be unlucky.

special!
Not only is the goal beautiful, it is also important in various ways.

Joining Arsenal last summer has seen significant growth in all aspects.

You know it’s less than two seasons since his debut...

However, De Bruyne still chose to believe Kompany because... he didn't want to lose to Martin.

There is no hope for the league championship, the FA Cup was eliminated by Chelsea, and the Champions League encounter with Dynamo Kyiv was a mere walk-off to the quarter-finals, but what about the semi-finals and semi-finals?
Considering how difficult it is to win the Champions League, only the EFL Cup is the easiest championship trophy to win this season!
No matter what, you can't lose!

Manchester City launched an attack in the backcourt, and through quick transmission, the football came to the midfield and frontcourt.

David Silva and De Bruyne are both players who are very good at organizing attacks and passing threats. The defensive task of Koscielny and Mertesacker is to be optimistic about Aguero.

Martin has a heavy task. In addition to taking care of the defense in the middle, he also has to direct the position selection and defense of his teammates.

To put it simply, the brain is running at high speed all the time.

Aguero is less than 1.7 meters tall, so he is naturally not good at heading for the top.

His scoring method in the penalty area is mainly coordinated with ghostly movements, and then he sends his teammates well-timed passes into the opponent's goal.

If you want to find a template, this is the king of small penalty areas.

Romario!

Defending Aguero is a headache for Mertesacker and Koscielny.

But football is a team sport, and the difficulty of preventing individual players can be made up for by the strength of the team.

Aguero's scoring ability in the penalty area is indeed strong, but if the football is not passed to his feet, how can he score?
Cutting off the routes that De Bruyne, David Silva, Sterling and other players pass to the penalty area, Aguero's scoring ability is of no use.

It was a headache for Arsenal's two central defenders to mark Aguero. The victory was that the defensive backbone headed by Martin did not give any chance to the Manchester City offensive players, which caused Aguero's threat to be minimized.

Pellegrini frowned, knowing that he could not let this situation continue, otherwise it would be difficult to beat Arsenal at the new Wembley Stadium.

Although the club announced at the beginning of this month that he would leave in the summer and be succeeded by Guardiola, whose Bayern contract expired, he wanted to help Manchester City fans gain some comfort in their only chance to win the championship this season.

Arsenal did well on the defensive end and was also remarkable on the offensive end.

Martin's performance can be said to be the best in the game. His ball taking, ball control, long pass, distribution and long shot can cause a burst of exclamation from the new Wembley Stadium.

In order to win the game, Manchester City had to focus more on defense than attack.

The league tests the stability of the long season. If you want to win the cup, you must first defend well.

Of course, Arsenal is hesitant to invest too much in offense.

The offenses of both teams were mainly probing at the beginning, and the main theme was defense.

Fans from both sides looked nervous, while neutral fans seemed a little bored.

They would rather see a wonderful goal battle.

It's best to score a goal every few minutes.

Both Manchester City players and Arsenal players contributed their most concentrated attention to the game. They fought for every inch of the ball and the process was full of entertainment.

Time often passes very quickly in high-level matches. In the blink of an eye, 30 minutes into the first half, the scoreboard still showed 0:0.

In the 34th minute of the game, Manchester City took the lead in creating an absolute scoring opportunity.

De Bruyne used the arch of his right foot in the middle to push the cross pass from David Silva on the right rib directly to the right rib of the penalty area.

Aguero, who was passing the ball to the outside, took the ball and coordinated with David Silva who ran towards the front of the penalty area on the right side after passing the ball. He actually gave the ball away the moment he touched the ball, taking advantage of the center of gravity brought by his short stature. The characteristic of low and fast turning is to use the left foot as the axis to quickly complete the turn towards the baseline.Koscielny failed to react in time and was brushed aside by Aguero.

Mertesacker was a little too late to cover up the defense, and he could only watch helplessly as Aguero completed the inverted triangle.

"Sterling!!"

Lux sports commentator Zhan Jun's voice suddenly rose an octave higher.

The Manchester City fans at the new Wembley Stadium subconsciously stood up from their seats, raised their arms excitedly, and were ready to celebrate the goal.

Almost all Arsenal fans had their pupils shrunk, and strong uneasiness swept the entire audience instantly.

Head coach Wenger also subconsciously stood up from the coaching bench.

Manchester City coach Pellegrini's mood became high, and his blazing eyes were full of expectation.

Goalkeeper Ospina was extremely panicked. Looking at Sterling who was unmarked, his heart was in his throat.

next moment.

Sterling, who was running like a penguin with his head held high and his hips raised, had a confident smile on his face. He picked up his right foot while running and kicked Aguero's pass.

He was ready to push the ball, but he didn't expect that the football rolled in front of him and suddenly bounced up as if there was some obstruction. It should have been pushed to the middle of the football, but instead it was pushed to the bottom...

“Goooooo—Oh My God!”

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray was prepared to raise his voice, but... he was stunned: "No Goal!"

The eyeballs almost popped out.

"Not in!"

Leshi sports commentator Zhan Jun exclaimed: "Sterling will continue to be happy to the end! He wasted the excellent opportunity sent by Aguero when no one was marking him! He directly fired the anti-aircraft cannon!"

At the same time, every Manchester City player inside and outside the penalty area naturally raised their hands and covered their foreheads.

Aguero, who sent a wonderful pass, was stunned.

What the hell, does this work?
Sterling fell to his knees in shame, laying his head on the ground and holding his head in his hands.

Manchester City drew an away draw before the game. Pellegrini, who was standing in the visiting team coach's technical area with his mouth half open, was stunned.

The vast majority of Arsenal players breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Martin was emotionally stable, because...it was Happy Boy who shot.

Happy to be done!

Mertesacker, who was out of position defensively, raised his hand and patted Sterling, who was extremely annoyed, and comforted: "Keep up the good work."

Sterling: "..."

The Manchester City fans watching the live game on TV were completely speechless.

Arsenal fans were overjoyed and thanked the Sterling family.

If Sterling puts the ball into the goal guarded by Ospina, there may be trouble in the next game.

Although Arsenal with Martin is difficult to defeat, it does not mean that it is invincible.

In the final, it is natural to score a goal without conceding a goal.

The on-site director showed a close-up shot of the Manchester City players on the field. They looked very depressed and shook their heads with their hands on their hips.

Not long after, the game restarted.

Arsenal, which launched its attack from the backcourt, advanced layer by layer, but faced with Manchester City's well-organized defense, there was not much they could do.

Martin still organizes a series of overall attacks at his own pace. He believes that the opponent will definitely lack concentration at some point in the game.

Manchester City core De Bruyne and David Silva are also looking for opportunities.

Sterling, who had wasted a great opportunity before, has adjusted his mentality to see if his teammates can send a fatal pass again.

He vowed from the bottom of his heart that he would seize the opportunity to restore his position in the hearts of the fans!

happy boy?

I want to be happy and score goals!
Awesome!
Arsenal's attack was very patient. Martin made continuous passes and moves to attack the right rib. Ramsey, who attacked the left, sent a through ball to the right.

Bellerin made a pass while running. He deceived Sterling, who was following the defender, to take off and block it, then faked a dunk. Seeing Clichy approaching, he decisively passed the pass back to Martin who came to attack the right rib.

De Bruyne, who had been on guard for a long time, accelerated and moved closer. Unexpectedly, Martin made a stop and took advantage of his explosive power to get the ball out first, and then started to pass the ball while running.

The football rose up from the ground at a 45° angle to the right rib of the attack and flew towards the penalty area with a clear inner instep arc. It passed over the head of Otamendi from the front point and accurately found Giroud who appeared in front of the penalty spot.

He forced Kompany to swing his head and hit the goal.

"Caballero has made a meritorious service!"

Lux sports commentator Zhan Jun saw goalkeeper Caballero subconsciously reaching out to block Giroud's header. His voice rose an octave: "Manchester City was saved!"

Pellegrini, who was squatting in the visiting team coach's command area, took a deep breath and felt the pressure of the stage at the same time.

Next, it’s Arsenal’s corner kick attack again.

As we all know, the Gunners have a very high scoring rate from set pieces this season.

Kompany and De Bruyne are targeting Martin again.

Martin, who was standing at the back post, said to De Bruyne with a considerate look: "Kevin, you really don't have to keep an eye on me. I definitely won't steal the header."

De Bruyne and Kompany were unmoved and didn't talk to each other, just staring.

Martin spread his hands: "You two are really boring."

From the corner of his eye, he saw Sanchez raising his right hand in preparation for a corner kick, and suddenly pointed to the sky and said: "Look...handicap!"

"You idiot~"

What De Bruyne blurted out was the dragon language he learned when he was teammates with Martin.

Martin: "..."

The quality of the corner kick taken by Sanchez was not very good, and the ball was cleared by Otamendi's header from the previous point.

Bellerin, the full-back who was defending Manchester City's counterattack, fired furiously at the ball. The ball he kicked was not pressed properly and he fired an anti-aircraft cannon.

Manchester City slowly organized the attack from the backcourt. Fernandinho, De Bruyne, and David Silva continuously penetrated the football into the 30-meter offensive zone through passing and cutting movements.

De Bruyne, who had changed positions with David Silva, came to attack the right rib. Without stopping the ball, he directly passed Aguero's pass to the penalty area.

Sanchez stepped forward to block the ball half a beat late, and his trademark turning pass bypassed Koscielny who flew out to block the ball.

"Raheem Sterling!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray, who was in the commentary box, blurted out when he saw a blue figure appearing at the spot where the football landed.

The eyes of Manchester City fans watching the live broadcast of the game were full of anticipation, because... the very fast Sterling did not know when he flashed in front of Mertesacker and approached the landing point of De Bruyne's pass at high speed.

Ospina did not expect that Koscielny would rise to the top, and it was too late to attack again.

Sterling, who fell to the ground and tackled the shot, was very focused and kept saying to himself - accurate kick!
Sterling's shovel shot hit the right spot, but he only wanted to hit the right shot to make up for it, but... the angle didn't widen.

Behind the goal was the area where Manchester City fans gathered. They clearly saw Sterling's right forefoot accurately hit the football that dropped to the height of an ordinary person's knee.

Kick to the door!

Ospina, who was ready to throw the ball, reacted very quickly when he saw the football flying quickly in front of him. He subconsciously reached forward with his hands and held the football firmly in his arms.

"wowowoowoooo——"

The fans at the new Wembley Stadium subconsciously let out a burst of exclamation.

"Oh My God! Didn't score again! Raheem Sterling wasted a great opportunity again!"

The Sky TV commentator saw that Sterling had some reservations about grabbing the point, but as expected he did not score, so he exclaimed.

"Happy boy Sterling! He is happy again! A shovel shot from six yards in front of the goal shoveled the ball directly into Ospina's arms!"

Lux sports commentator Zhan Jun said with regret.

If Manchester City scores first, the subsequent games will definitely be more exciting.

Pellegrini, who was squatting in the visiting team coach's command area, was about to celebrate the goal. When he saw the football being kicked by Sterling into Ospina's arms, his foot slipped and his body fell backwards, holding his head in his hands. , swearing and swearing.

The Manchester City players on the court were once again stunned. De Bruyne, who sent in a wonderful cross, roared to the sky, venting his strong dissatisfaction.

"papapappapaaaa——"

The Arsenal fans in the audience belatedly gave Sterling a thunderous applause.

Ospina saw Martin waving for the ball, took a lunge, and quickly threw the ball over.

Fernando, who was very focused, fully implemented the tactics that the head coach didn't know before the game and kicked Martin to the ground immediately.

"beep~"

Referee Anthony Taylor whistled for a foul on Fernando and gave him a yellow card.
