Chapter 323: Beat Messi and was elected the best goal in the UEFA Champions League in the 2015-2016 season

The 2016-2017 Premier League kicked off first, and Martin's super performance undoubtedly attracted the attention of sports media and fans around the world.

Martin, who was at the center of the topic, did not pay attention to outside reports and was still focusing on his visit to the King Power Stadium to challenge Leicester City in the next round.

Although the Leicester City Supermarket is open this summer, neither Mahrez nor the defense has changed.

It’s a home game again, so you have to be careful.

We are all professional players, and there is not much difference in ability. Most of the time, the comparison is about details and on-the-spot performance.

Team sports are ultimately about teamwork.

A week passed quickly, and the European mainstream media, which had been paying attention to Martin's hat-trick in the first round, also shifted their attention and returned to their respective leagues.

This new weekend, other leagues are also kicking off their new seasons.

The most watched league in the second round of the new Premier League season is undoubtedly last season's league second place Leicester City facing the defending champion Arsenal.

Of course, it is also related to the fact that there is no strong dialogue this round.

If they had played against each other last season, this game would have definitely attracted more attention.

However, as Leicester City lost many main players this summer and Arsenal introduced many stars, the gap became even wider.

The first league game to start was Manchester United's home game against Southampton. With two goals from 'Big Bongxian' Ibrahimovic, they finally won the game 2:0.

Ibrahimovic also caught up with Martin in the scorer list with his two goals in the first round. Both of them ranked first in the scorer list with 3 goals.

Manchester United won the game and climbed to the top of the league with a game advantage.

Another Manchester team, Manchester City, defeated Stoke City 4:1 later in the league. Aguero scored two goals, plus a penalty kick in the first round, and tied for the top scorer list with Martin and Ibrahimovic.

In addition, Manchester City surpassed Manchester United with the advantage of scoring more goals and ranked first in the league.

Arsenal's away game against Leicester City starts at 05:30 pm local time on Sunday.

Liverpool, who lost to Arsenal in the first round, were upset when they challenged Burnley as a guest, losing 0:2.

Two consecutive defeats at the start of the new season also put high-spirited Klopp under tremendous pressure.

Club executives and fans are very supportive of Klopp and believe that the team is already on the right path. The new season has only started two rounds of league games. Next... there will definitely be victory!

……

King Power Stadium.

Able to accommodate 32500 fans, the seats were packed.

The two teams met in the Community Shield before the start of this season. Arsenal relied on Martin's pass and shot to defeat Leicester City 3:1.

However, Blue Fox fans believe that the Community Shield game is played in London, which means Arsenal owns half of the home court.

Even if they lose two main players this summer, they can still defeat defending champion Arsenal at home!
Kante returned to the King Power Stadium as a visiting player and was welcomed by a large number of home fans.

But when the game starts, it's time to boo.

Ranieri's tactics are very conservative, especially when facing Arsenal, whose offensive ability exploded in the first round. In home games, they also focus on defense.

To break dense defense, set kicks and long shots are the two magic weapons to win.

It just so happens that Arsenal captain Martin is very good at these two tricks.

In the first three and 10 minutes of the game, Leicester City's defensive details were very good. As a result, the offensive system led by Martin failed to find a way or opportunity to break through Schmeichel's goal.

Until the 36th minute of the game, Ramsey, who replaced Xhaka in the starting lineup, stepped in to receive Martin's pass and was kicked to the ground by Ndidi.

The referee Atkinson blew his whistle decisively and awarded Arsenal a direct free kick with a very positive angle towards the goal.

The broadcaster stated that the foul location was 29 meters away from the goal.

"This position should be very comfortable for Martin, who has already scored two direct free kicks in the new season."

Lux sports commentator Zhan Jun said impassionedly: "Little Schmeichel was in the Community Shield, but Martin scored a direct free kick."

"Martin's free kick style is very similar to the Brazilian player Juninho's free kick. The key is that he feels very good when taking the kick. He can often hit the goal range and the distance is moderate. Schmeichel will have a headache!"

Guest commentator Li Yuankui laughed.

The on-site director obviously knows football very well. After showing the young Schmeichel directing the position of the wall in a close-up shot, he then turned the camera to the elder Schmeichel in the VIP seat.

The father and son looked very similar, and they both frowned at this moment.

It is not difficult to see that both of them are goalkeepers and feel tremendous pressure at the same time.

Martin placed the football at the spot where the foul was committed, then took three big steps back diagonally to the left. He took a deep breath, looked up at the wall, felt the approximate height after taking off, and then looked at Schmeichel's position. He already had something in his mind. Made plans.

"wuwuwuuwuuu——"

How could the Leicester City fans at the King Power Stadium allow Martin to take a free kick in a comfortable environment?
Overwhelming boos swept the entire venue.

"beep~"

Atkinson blew the whistle in his mouth, and Martin ignored the boos coming towards him. He raised a faint smile on his lips before starting to run.

Start walking on tiptoe!
The distance between the first two steps is relatively close, controlled within half a meter. The final left foot is close to one meter, standing about 25 centimeters to the left of the football. The center of gravity is tilted to the left, about [-] degrees to the ground.

The right foot swings from behind with the knee as the pivot, perfectly integrating the power of the thigh and the explosion of the calf. The shoelace part hits the middle and lower part of the football.

Boom~
A crisp muffled sound came out spontaneously, and the football was lifted up from the ground by the huge force. Leicester City's five-man wall jumped up, but... none of them could hit the football.

The football that passed over the top of the wall at high speed did not spin. In the upper left corner of the ball flying towards the top of the wall at high speed, the Premier League's lion wearing a crown logo and the sponsor Nike's swoosh logo were clearly visible.

Schmeichel, who was standing slightly to the right in the middle of the goal, guessed that Martin would hit the near corner. The moment he saw the football, he took two steps to the right. Taking advantage of the weak inertia, he jumped sideways with his right foot and followed with his right arm. With his body stretched out completely, his eyes fixed on the powerful and heavy football, his mind could not help but outline the scene of celebration after completing a wonderful save.

hey~
However, after a few tenths of a second, his smile froze on his face.

The football that flew to the highest point suddenly sank, like a dead leaf falling from a tree. It was erratic in the air, left and right. The amplitude was not very large, but it made Schmeichel not know how to judge.

"Shu~"

The football plunged into the snow-white net.

"Goooooooooooooal—"

"Another stunning direct free kick!"

"Oh My God!"

"Brilliant direct free kick!"

"Beautiful! Martin regains the top spot in the scorer list!"

……

The commentator in the commentary box shouted hysterically.

After scoring the goal, Martin stood very calmly, opened his arms, and hugged his teammates who came forward to celebrate the goal.

"Martin!"

"Martin!!"

"Martin!!!"

The Arsenal fans who traveled with the team were particularly crazy and shouted hysterically.

Wenger, who was in charge of the technical area as coach of the visiting team, raised the corners of his mouth, smiled and hugged his assistant in greeting.

Ranieri shook his head in frustration. He had already done his best to defend Martin at the tactical level, leaving him no room for maneuver.

Unexpectedly, he actually seized the opportunity of a direct free kick.

He couldn't help but think, how should such a player be restricted?

There are headers in the penalty area, long shots outside the penalty area, and the key is free kicks.

In addition, he has superb dribbling skills and passing ability.

How to prevent?
"How can there be such a monster player in this world?"

Ranieri looked at the high-spirited Martin and felt that one was as big as the other.

Finally, we come to the conclusion: lose less and win more.

The on-site director gave wonderful replays, and the fans sitting in front of the TV were able to experience the visual impact of every frame of Martin's excellent free kick many times.

Full of fun to watch!
……

Leicester City, which was sitting at home, was lagging behind. The players consciously stepped up their offense and tried to see if they could equalize the score.

After Kante and Drinkwater both joined the London team, Leicester City's midfielder lacked sufficient organizational skills. Vardy was very active, but unfortunately no teammate could deliver a threatening ball.

Mahrez is the player with the strongest individual combat ability in Leicester City. Wenger naturally knows this and made targeted arrangements before the game.

Kanter is very clear about the abilities of his former teammate, and he is also willing to share Mahrez's shortcomings with his current teammates, so it is not too easy to defend.Ranieri realized that the offensive end could not bring enough pressure to Arsenal, so he signaled his players to stabilize the rhythm and wait for the opportunity before launching a fatal blow.

As Leicester City shrank its defense, the offensive system led by Martin failed to create a great opportunity until the end of the first half.

After a 15-minute intermission, the home team clearly had a strong offensive stance in the second half of the rematch, intending to catch Arsenal's defense off guard.

Unexpectedly, no goal was scored in the early start, but Arsenal used the opportunity to counterattack to expand the score.

Andy King received Ndidi's forward pass and caught Vardy's forward path without a defensive player, and decisively sent the ball over.

At this moment, a small red figure flashed out in the passing space that appeared in a fleeting moment.

That is……

Former teammate Kanter!
While moving at high speed, he extends his feet to steal the ball and passes it in one go.

After receiving the ball, his partner Ramsey took a step forward, attracting the defense of Albrighton and Mendy and quickly handed it over to Martin who opened the space.

Ndidi pounced.

Martin, who had a wide field of vision, used the toes of his raised right foot to poke lightly. The football rolling forward happened to pass under Ndidi's crotch, and then he bypassed the ball as fast as lightning. Without making too many adjustments, he directly hit the ball. The right rib of the backcourt sent a 40-meter straight pass with a relatively large advance.

Cavani, who was running like a ghost, shook off the strong Morgan, quickly passed the center line, and chased Martin's long pass with a few long strides.

From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Schmeichel was positioned a little forward, and he made a prompt decision and kicked the ball toward the goal about 45 meters away.

Schmeichel, who had just retreated to the penalty area, quickly retreated with his heart pounding.

But how can the speed of human movement be compared to that of football?
He took two steps back, stepped on the penalty spot with his right foot, jumped back, and stretched out his right arm, trying to make himself jump higher.

But the fingertips of his right hand at the highest point of his takeoff still did not touch the falling football...

"Beautiful! Lob! Cavani gives Arsenal a two-goal lead as a guest!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei shouted passionately.

After scoring the goal, Cavani opened his arms and ran all the way to the camera on the sidelines, expressing his ecstasy about the goal by sliding on his knees.

Martin, Ramsey, Sanchez, Bellerin and other teammates all ran over like crazy to celebrate the goal that expanded the score.

Head coach Wenger stood up from the coaching bench and applauded this efficient counterattack.

The home fans at the King Power Stadium felt very confused and at the same time hesitant about the results of the new season.

They lost to Hull City in the opening game as a guest, and there is a high probability of losing in the second round. Next... I really don't know where to go.

……

Giroud, who was sitting on the bench, had to admit that Cavani's shooting skills were indeed better than his own.

If you think about it from another perspective, you wouldn’t lob from this position anyway?

The broadcast screen once again showed Arsenal captain Martin.

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said loudly: "Martin is in a good position and has more opportunities to participate in attacks. He has contributed 6 goals and 3 assists in the past three games, and is directly involved in three goals per game. He has already completed the pass before the game is over. It’s really hard to imagine what kind of answer he will get at the end of the season.”

Special guest Henry was in high spirits and said firmly: "If Martin can stay healthy, his data will definitely be better than last season!"

Arsenal fans who watched the game live agreed very much. Fans of other teams were very unhappy, but the problem was that the teams they supported were not strong enough and there was no way to suppress Martin's performance...

In the 68rd minute of the game, Arsenal scored another goal.

Martin sent a precise diagonal pass from the right rib of the frontcourt. The high-speed running left-back Monreal stopped and made a pass. He glanced at his teammates in the penalty area, adjusted with two lunges, and passed with his left foot before Simpson was in position.

The quality of the cross was very high, Cavani feinted a shot from the front, and Welbeck, who came on as a substitute, scored with a header from behind, rewriting the score to 0:3.

The home team is at the front and the visiting team is at the back.

Many home team fans in the audience couldn't stand it anymore and chose to leave the game early, playing the game of "out of sight, out of mind".

Leicester City, which was lagging behind by a big score, had no choice but to continue to strengthen their offensive to see if they could save face.

However, without the engine Drinkwater, the offensive organization was a bit messy, and Mahrez was closely monitored, so there was no way to show his super personal ability.

Vardy lacks support in the midfield and backcourt, and it has no effect being at the front of the striker.

Arsenal, with a three-goal lead, began to control the rhythm of the game and reasonably consume the game time through passing.

The 0:3 score displayed on the scoreboard did not change until the end of the game.

Arsenal, who had won two consecutive games, returned to the top of the table with a two-goal difference advantage.

Martin also relied on his passing and shooting achievements in this game to return to the top of the scorer list and the top assist list respectively.

Ranked first among the three rankings, earlier than last season.

……

The time has come to late August, which also means that there is still one league day before the international match day in September.

Before that, the 2016-2017 Champions League group draw and UEFA Europe's Best Player Award Ceremony will be held.

A total of 32 teams from four tiers participating in the Champions League group stage have been finalized, and the final three candidates for UEFA's European Player of the Year were also announced at the beginning of the month.

They are Martin, Ronaldo and Messi respectively.

Judging from the performance of the 2015-2016 season, Messi, who only won the La Liga championship, was basically eliminated.

The final winner will be born between Martin and Ronaldo.

If there is no European Cup, there will be no suspense for the best player.

Martin, who led Arsenal to six crowns in 2016, will be elected without any doubt.

However, 2016 is a competition year.

France European Cup.

This summer, Cristiano Ronaldo single-handedly brought Portugal to the European Cup finals, and sacrificed himself at the Stade de France in the final, helping Portugal defeat the French team and win the first European Cup championship in team history.

In addition, Ronaldo also followed Real Madrid to win the runner-up in La Liga and the Champions League in the 2015-2016 season.

For any grand prize, the performance of the national team will be the primary reference before the competition.

You must know that Cristiano Ronaldo scored a crazy 2015 goals in the UEFA Champions League in the 2016-16 season, and was the Champions League Golden Boot that season!

Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the European Cup, has the possibility of competing with Martin, the six-time champion.

No matter who is elected, however, Mendez will be happy.

If it were any other competitor, they would still be more or less capable.

But Martin and Ronaldo are both his agent players.

It doesn't matter~
It is worth mentioning that the final three candidate players are also very interesting. Three of them are players signed by the world's leading sports equipment suppliers.

Cristiano Ronaldo is Nike’s number one star in football, and Messi is Adidas’ number one star in football.

Although Martin has only made his debut for two years, he has become Puma's number one star in football through his superb personal performance.

From a side perspective, the three major sports brands are also competing for UEFA's best player in Europe.

……

Martin was shortlisted as a final candidate for UEFA's Best Player. He, several teammates and head coach Wenger were officially invited by UEFA to go to the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monte Carlo, Monaco, to participate in the 2016-2017 season. UEFA Champions League group draw and UEFA European Player of the Year Award Ceremony.

According to the plan, Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger and many players led by Martin took a flight from London to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport in France on the morning of August 8.

The night before, UEFA's official website announced the best goal of the 2015-2016 season as voted by fans.

A total of 21 fans participated in voting for the best goal.

Among them, Martin's goal against five consecutive players in the Champions League final against Real Madrid received 10 votes, accounting for 1246% of the votes, overwhelming Messi's MSN goal against Roma in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage. elected.

According to voting data, Messi ranked second with 26%.

In fact, many media and fans were not surprised by this result.

Only the Argentinian media and fans and the Catalan media and fans expressed injustice for Messi.

To be fair, Messi's MSN collaboration goal was certainly wonderful.

However, Martin's 'horse-stepping joint venture' goal that beat five people in a row in the Champions League final has more reasons to be selected, and it also gives importance to the game without losing the viewing pleasure.

Martin was elected the best goal of the season and also beat Messi to defend the title.

Last season, in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern, Messi's "criminal dribble" knocked over Boateng and shot Neuer and was named the best goal of the 2014-2015 season.

Martin was very happy to receive the news the day before leaving for Monaco, but he was a little depressed because there were no related achievements on the achievement page.

In the Dragon Kingdom, people started going crazy over this.

The media and fans believe that winning the best goal of the season is undoubtedly an appetizer for UEFA's best player in Europe. In the end... it will overpower Cristiano Ronaldo and become the biggest winner!
