Chapter 300: Seizing food from the tiger's mouth and turning the situation around

After the Champions League theme song ended, the performers of the Champions League final quickly left the stage, and volunteers immediately cleaned up the scene layout in the stadium, showing it in its most original state and returning the venue to the game itself.

Immediately, the players from both sides of the final shook hands with each other and took a group photo with each other.

Finally, Arsenal captain Per Mertesacker and Real Madrid captain Ramos went to the referee Kashay's place for routine pre-match guessing.

Real Madrid won the right to pick the side and Arsenal automatically won the right to kick off.

At the end of the last ceremony before the game, the starting players from both teams gathered in a circle, shoulder to shoulder.

On the right half of the court are Arsenal players.

Martin replaced captain Per Mertesacker to instigate the team and said loudly: "The decisive battle is about to begin. Are you all ready?"

"Ready!"

The other players shouted in unison.

"Okay! Let's beat Real Madrid here!"

"Beat Real Madrid!"

The Real Madrid players on the left half of the court performed much calmer. Most of their players participated in the Champions League final at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon two years ago.

Only Navas, Pepe and Casemiro in the entire starting lineup have not appeared in the Champions League final.

But now Navas is at the peak of his career, Pepe has rich game experience and is in very good shape, and Casemiro has become the most trustworthy defensive player in Real Madrid's midfield.

Zidane's starting lineup is well-founded.

The players are full of confidence, and there are not so many fancy encouragements for each other before the game. Some just hope that the game will start soon.

Before the game started, the on-site director's switching camera scanned the players on the field and the packed auditorium, and naturally showed the core players of both sides at halftime of each station.

Ronaldo and Martin.

It is easy to see from the shiny hairstyles of the two that they were carefully taken care of before the game, perfectly presenting their handsome faces in front of fans around the world.

However, Ronaldo and Martin have different handsome styles. The mature Ronaldo is called "President".

Martin is a sunny and handsome guy. His normal smile makes people feel comfortable, but his slightly evil and evil smile can easily make female fans bump into each other.

Many non-Arsenal fans, including many, call Martin [Prince].

When the screen was shown to Martin, CCTV 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "We can see from Martin's smiling expression that he is very relaxed, which is very positive for the next Champions League final." Meaning, as the first player from Dragon Country football to start in the Champions League final, let us look forward to Martin's next performance..."

Later, the screen was shown to other stars, but they all flashed by, unlike the close-up screen that had been pushed to the face for a long time and stayed on the faces of Ronaldo and Martin.

……

"beep~"

Hungarian referee Kaushoy blew the whistle.

"aoaoaooaooooo—"

Overwhelming cheers rang out over the Meazza Stadium, and fans throughout the stadium were creating a fanatical atmosphere for the opening of the Champions League final.

At the same time, Giroud, who had his right foot on the football, passed the ball through Sanchez and was immediately passed to Martin's feet.

"Dragon Kingdom TV, Dragon Kingdom TV, is now broadcasting for you the live broadcast of the 2015-2016 UEFA Champions League final between Arsenal and Real Madrid..."

Following the commentary lines blurted out by Central 5 commentator He Wei, Martin, who received the football, ignored Benzema and Bell who rushed towards him, faced the right side, and passed the ball to Bellerin at the intersection of the center line and the right sideline.

As the youngest starter in this game and Arsenal's number one star, he has attracted worldwide attention.

Benzema thought Martin was going to pass the ball, so he turned a corner and stretched out his foot to intercept.

Martin raised his right foot to fake the button.

Bell, who started as a full-back, kept an eye out and poked the toe of his left foot in the direction of Martin's spike.

As soon as Bell raised his foot, he saw Martin immediately stretched out his left foot to step on the moving football, then pulled it back, and then his view was blocked by the opponent's back.

"Wowowoooooo—"

The fans in the audience and the fans in front of the TV could see clearly that Martin used his left foot on the football as an axis and pressed against Bell's body to complete a [-]-degree clockwise turn, so the fans in the audience let out a burst of exclamation.

Zidane, who was standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, was stunned. Isn't this... his signature move?

"Marseille roundabout!"

He Wei, who was still announcing the starting players of both sides to fans watching the live game, changed the subject with unabated enthusiasm: "Martin passed Benzema and Bale in succession."

Martin, who passed Bell, did not continue dribbling. He handed the ball to Sanchez, who had been waiting for a long time on the left.

The picture then showed a stunned Zidane.

What I want to express is already very obvious.

Playing big swords in front of Guan Gong?

When Arsenal fans saw Martin "showing off" in front of Zidane, they were all in high spirits and their shouts were deafening.

The first attack led by Martin was relatively low-key, and not many people participated in the attack.

With Martin moving forward, Ramsey moved back and partnered with Coquelin as a double midfielder, allowing Martin, Sanchez, Giroud and Gnabry to serve as an offensive quartet.

The attitude of Real Madrid players on the defensive end is still very good. Except for Ronaldo, who has the privilege and does not need to return to defense, all other nine players returned to half-court defense.

The ceremonial midfielder who has become famous in later generations has not won three consecutive Champions League titles, and the combination is not as tacit as it was later. However, currently each performs its own duties and plays a good role in the center.

Casemiro is an extremely important barrier in the middle. He is afraid of Martin's long shot and does not dare to step forward easily.

The defense only needs to rely on Modric and the pretentious Kroos.

Passing the ball to the left to Sanchez, forcing Modric to leave the defensive zone and assist Carvajal in marking Sanchez.

Sanchez, who caught the ball, quickly handed the ball back to Martin. Bell subconsciously stretched his foot and failed to intercept the football. Modric had to quickly move to the middle to help Casemiro mark Martin.

Unexpectedly, Martin directly pushed the football passed by Sanchez to the right and accelerated it. Cross's defensive ability in the middle was completely negligible, and his outstretched foot did not touch anything.

Casemiro's explosive power was at a disadvantage again. He used his flesh and blood to block the ball and was half a beat too late. He could only watch helplessly as Martin shot angrily about 30 meters away from the goal.

The football was kicked out with great force, like a cannonball. The football flew into the air without any rotation. The five-star Champions League logo was clearly visible under the camera, and it flew towards the upper left corner of the goal with an unstoppable momentum.

Navas is worthy of being a goalkeeper who often uses tennis balls for training. His nerve reaction speed is extremely fast. His body moves sideways as his footsteps move to the right. His whole body is very stretched in mid-air. He uses the open palm of his left hand to push the heavy football towards Push up.

The football changed its trajectory and missed the crossbar.

"Excellent cum! Beautiful thrust!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at the broadcast and reported back to Martin, saying impassionedly: "Martin is in really good condition. He took advantage of a long shot in less than one minute to knock the ball out of the park. It seems... Real Madrid should be more careful."

Zidane originally wanted to suppress Martin's offensive attributes through offense, but he did not expect that Martin directly used the kick-off opportunity to threaten Navas to guard the goal.

The key is that Arsenal has a good number of people involved in the attack. In this context, it is easy to see Martin's strong personal offensive ability.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was running back, needed to help defend the corner kick. He looked at Martin thoughtfully, and the fear in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"Keylor Navas saved Martin's long-range shot about 30 meters away from the goal. What followed was Arsenal's usual corner kick scoring opportunity. Can the Real Madrid defensive players complete the restriction on Martin who is in excellent condition?"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said solemnly.

Immediately, the on-site director restored the slow-motion playback of Martin's long shot.

Fans in front of the TV can clearly see that every touch of Martin's ball is perfect. The final adjustments and long shots are done in one go, without any unnecessary movements.

If it weren't for Navas' quick reaction, Martin's first long-range shot in the opening game might have taken the lead.

It is also true that Martin was marked by Pepe who was 'full of evil' in the penalty area.

The player assisting him in defense is none other than the team's number one star, Cristiano Ronaldo!
The corners of Martin's mouth couldn't help but raise.

The joint marking of the two evergreens of the Portuguese national team is a bit interesting.

"If Martin had not applied for naturalization two years ago, now...the three of them should be teammates of the national team, right?"

Central 5 commentator He Wei couldn't help but couldn't help looking at the three people in the same frame, but as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, so he changed the topic: "Martin showed very good form in the opening stage. Will he be in the same position as Cristiano Ronaldo?" How can I seize the spot in the marking with Pepe and create enough threats?"

The atmosphere at San Siro was frenetic and the chants from the fans in the stands were deafening.

Sanchez took a corner kick from the left and the target was very clear, looking for Martin near the penalty spot.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe jumped up one after another with Martin in the middle, but no one could catch the landing point, and the football was bumped by Koscielny behind them.

Because it was too sudden, Koscielny headed the ball too close to the bottom, causing the football to fly towards the goal and go over the crossbar.

Real Madrid gets a goal kick in the backcourt.

Martin wasn't upset if he didn't hit the ball. Ronaldo and Pepe are both strong, and their judgment of the ball's placement is no worse than his own. After the confrontation, neither of them hit the ball, so it was an even score.If it's one-on-one, he has absolute confidence to beat Ronaldo.

Such an opportunity will come soon.

In the 4th minute, Bell received a pass from Ronaldo and shot a cold arrow at the front of the penalty area on the right side.

Coquelin's block was half a beat too late, and the football flew toward the goal with great force.

Cech reacted quickly and blocked the ball outside the near-end goal post with one palm.

Modric took a corner kick from the right.

On the defensive end, Martin has a Buff improvement. After a slight run-up, he jumped high and stood out from the crowd, overwhelming Ronaldo and Ramos to push the ball out of the penalty area.

Sanchez made a hook clearance in front of the top of the arc in the penalty area. The ball was taken by Carvajal who was lagging behind, and Real Madrid reorganized their attack.

Casemiro quickly retreated in front of the two central defenders to protect the football during offense.

Cross and Modri ​​formed a linkage with the forward on both sides of Casemiro.

The two of them accomplished each other while performing their respective duties.

Modric not only has a strong sense of coordination in a small area in the midfield and frontcourt, but also has excellent through ball and assist abilities.

Because of the large running range, it is a bit troublesome to defend. Wenger's defensive tactics have always been based on regional defense, and then based on Martin's judgment, he will promptly direct the defense to respond.

Kroos mainly passes safety balls, or cruises around the edge of the penalty area to seek opportunities to control two-point ball, and then uses his excellent vision and long-passing ability to release the super assist attributes of Marcelo and Carvajal.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema frequently dropped back to participate in the offensive organization, forming a temporary diamond midfield with the three midfielders.

Considering that Cristiano Ronaldo, Bell, Modric, and Kroos all have strong long-range shooting abilities, the defensive system led by Martin gradually felt a little overwhelmed.

However, at this time, Casemiro has not yet matured into a formal midfielder. The overall situation and offensive communication during the ball stage are almost meaningless, which means that Modric and Kroos must spare more time to connect the whole team.

Real Madrid's offense passed through multiple passes, and Marcelo, who received the ball on the left side of the attack, made a pass.

Mertesacker, who was in the front, took off and missed the football. Koscielny, who was about to head the ball to clear the ball, only felt a white lightning flash in front of him, and the Arabic numeral [7] raised behind him was particularly eye-catching.

"Yes……"

At this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was leaping high with a smile on his face and ready to swing his head to attack the goal, caught a red figure suddenly appearing in front of him and pushed the football over the baseline.

"Depend on!"

I felt very depressed when I saw [9] displayed on the back of the jersey.

Counting the previous corner kick attack, Martin has completed two consecutive clearances in front of his head.

"Boy, you can."

Ronaldo pulled Martin up from the ground, who almost hit the left goal post due to the inertia.

"You are also very good."

Martin laughed.

Ronaldo: "..."

Real Madrid got another corner kick opportunity, and the atmosphere at the Meazza Stadium heated up again.

As we all know, Real Madrid is also very capable of scoring from set pieces.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale, Ramos, and Pepe are all famous header experts in world football.

Especially Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale and Ramos, their header scoring is simply not too strong.

Modric walked to the corner kick penalty area, and the on-site director once again gave a close-up shot to Martin who was in the same frame.

"Martin continuously beat Ronaldo to complete header clearances. Will the corner kick defense still beat Ronaldo and other Real Madrid players to complete clearances this time?"

Central 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "The fans watching the live game on TV must have the same idea, but I believe Martin will definitely complete the suppression of Ronaldo in his area of ​​expertise!"

Real Madrid's attack took a corner kick from the left, and He Wei's words came true.

There was obvious physical contact between Martin and Ronaldo before facing the football, and both of them were affected by their respective reaction forces.

However, Martin relied on a more accurate judgment of the landing point on the defensive end and a better timing to take off, and defeated Ronaldo and Ramos to complete the header.

"Martin!"

"Martin!!"

"Martin!!!"

Arsenal fans at San Siro chanted in unison.

"Pretty!"

"What does it mean to seize food from the tiger's mouth? This... is to seize food from the tiger's mouth!"

He Wei said with great passion: "Martin contributed extremely threatening long-range shots on the offensive end, and on the defensive end he repeatedly completed header clearances in front of Ronaldo and Ramos! This Champions League final... is so interesting!"

The Dragon Kingdom fans watching the live broadcast of the game couldn't help but clenched their fists and applauded Martin from the bottom of their hearts.

The football pushed out by Martin flew towards the penalty area on the left. Marcelo caught Sanchez coming up from the right to put pressure on him from the corner of his eye. He decisively used his left foot to volley the ball directly without stopping.

The football was kicked with great force, but the contact area was not well controlled. The upward force caused the football to fly towards the second-story stands of the auditorium.

Arsenal fans let out a sigh of relief and burst into laughter.

The screen turned to show Martin, who frequently appeared on the broadcast screen.

"Arsenal's ability to defend corner kicks continuously and save the day is entirely due to Martin's outstanding performance!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's voice couldn't help but raise an octave: "Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos are among the top header masters in world football!"

In the game that followed, it was precisely because of Martin's continuous outstanding performance that the Arsenal players on the field were greatly encouraged and became more focused on the game.

Modric and Toni Kroos, who organized the offense, keenly felt that it became difficult to advance the offense.

The most direct situation is that Cross transfers long passes with big feet from time to time and distributes the ball to the other side.

However, the running coverage of Arsenal's defensive players is very large, and they move quickly laterally. With Martin's timely replacement in the middle, it is difficult for Real Madrid's vertical attack to reach the penalty area.

The right wing, once considered to be Arsenal's defensive shortcoming by Zidane, became the strongest area.

In his mind, although Martin has excellent defensive ability, he certainly cannot take care of the entire right defense.

The young Gnabry and the right back Bellerin, who is strong in offense and weak in defense, will inevitably expose the defensive gaps.

Zidane's tactical arrangement also focused on [Gnabry]. He believed that young players are most likely to make the mistake of not concentrating enough.

Unexpectedly, the very fast Gnabry has not yet shown his edge on the offensive end, but first used extremely high defensive enthusiasm on the defensive end to cooperate with Martin to complete a complete blockade of his right side.

The direct result is that it is difficult for the forward BBC combination to find decent opportunities in the penalty area.

Time often passes very quickly in high-level matches. In the blink of an eye, it is 10 minutes into the first half, and the scoreboard shows the score is still 0:0.

In terms of ball possession ratio, Real Madrid leads Arsenal with 62% and 38%.

The difference in the number of shots is not very big, 4:2.

Number of hits within the goal range, 1:1.

Arsenal's two shots were both completed by Martin.

Martin, who has turned things around many times, has gorgeous numbers on the defensive end, even more than many players have in an entire game.

This is why fans watching the live broadcast of the game can easily see Arsenal's continued passive defense from the side.

Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger, who was sitting in the coaching bench, saw that Martin had completed the defensive task very well, and the tension in his heart had disappeared.

As long as Martin is free to participate in the attack, he believes that the team will definitely score.

However, as we all know, cup competitions focus more on defense, so there is no rush to win the game.

Standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, Zidane thought that if Martin replaced Casemiro, wouldn't the Real Madrid he manages become invincible?

As everyone knows, there are countless top coaches who have the same idea.

Guamou, who just took over the Manchester City duo, Conte, who took over Chelsea, Liverpool Klopp, Barcelona Enrique...

Pochettino took out his mobile phone and thought about it for a while, feeling that it would be better to do less than to do more.

Other giant head coaches are putting pressure on the management and trying to bring in the 2015-2016 Premier League Golden Boot and assist leader from Arsenal!
