Chapter 365 Another century-old record, the British overlord!

The scoreboard on the new Wembley Stadium changed from 0:0 to 1:0.

Chelsea, who were lagging behind, had no choice but to launch Plan B and try to equalize the score as much as possible.

Not trying to reverse the defeat, just trying to drag the game into overtime and a penalty shootout.

At that time, let's see who has better luck.

But such a possibility is first based on equalizing the score, otherwise everything is delusional.

Therefore, Chelsea's strengthened attack was so decisive that Chelsea fans in the audience had the illusion that they could defeat the powerful Arsenal.

The leading Arsenal made the same tactical choice as in the past, avoiding its edge and then delivering a fatal blow!

However, Chelsea did a good job in preparation and did not ignore the defense after conceding the ball.

The frontcourt players will always block Arsenal's quick counterattack by encircling or fouling as soon as the ball is lost.

For this reason, Cesc Fabregas, Moses and Willian all received yellow cards.

Time often passes very quickly in high-level matches. In the blink of an eye, it came to the 40th minute, and the score was still Arsenal leading 1:0.

At this point in the game, Conte knew that this was the time period when it was easiest to score goals continuously, so he took advantage of the dead ball opportunity and waved his hand to signal the team to slow down the offensive rhythm and focus on stability.

Arsenal originally wanted to counterattack Chelsea, but when they saw the opponent slowing down their attacking pace, Xhaka, who received the ball, saw Martin's gesture and decisively accelerated the forward passing rate, forcing him to speed up.

According to the tactics Wenger formulated before the game: If you want to speed up, speed up, and if you want to slow down, slow down? no way!

Only by picking up the rhythm will there be a high probability of widening the point difference before the end of the first half.

However, Chelsea's adaptability was very good and they did not give Arsenal any decent opportunities.

By the time Anthony Taylor blew the whistle to end the first half, the score on the scoreboard had not changed.

Visiting team locker room.

Chelsea head coach Conte glanced at the players who looked preoccupied, shook his head slightly, and then said solemnly: "We don't have much time left. Let's stabilize the situation in the first half of the second half, and wait until the 70 minutes of the game to suddenly attack." force."

Diego Costa, who had been receiving no support in the first half, raised his eyebrows slightly and said with some dissatisfaction: "No, sir, should we start with strength first and then stabilize?"

Conte's already stern expression became darker, and the temperature in the locker room seemed to have dropped a few degrees. Diego Costa also realized that he had committed the taboo of 'teaching the head coach how to do things', but out of the dignity of an adult , and was dissatisfied with Conte's negative tactics and had no intention of actively apologizing.

Conte thought that if he was still the head coach of Chelsea next season, he would definitely sell Diego Costa, but he did not pursue it. He took the initiative to inform the whole team of the tactical extension he had thought of in advance.

The home team's locker room at the other end.

Wenger was actually not particularly satisfied with the performance of the players on the field in the first half. In his opinion, if the performance had been better, he would have led by at least two goals before the end of the first half.

The players seemed to feel that coach Wenger was a little dissatisfied, and they were determined to score as early as possible at the beginning of the second half, trying to kill the game early and prepare for the Champions League final.

……

"pretty!!"

"Martin again!"

"If it weren't for Courtois' outstanding performance, Arsenal would have been two goals ahead!"

Lux sports commentator Zhan Jun said impassionedly: "But next is the corner kick attack that Arsenal is good at. Chelsea must wake up!"

Chelsea's corner kick defense was very good at marking Martin, but it was somewhat inadequate against other players.

Van Dijk in the middle of the penalty area overwhelmed David Luiz and completed a powerful header.

Although David Luiz did not grab the header, he put huge pressure on the opponent through himself, causing Van Dijk's aim to be slightly off, and the very fast ball missed the outside of the right goal post.

In an instant, the Chelsea fans in the audience broke out in a cold sweat.

Conte, who was standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, yelled angrily at the players in the penalty area, fully venting his dissatisfaction.

Detailed arrangements had been made long before the game, but Van Dijk actually grabbed the spot.

Fortunately, the players on the field are focused on the court, otherwise they would definitely have to argue with Conte.

Arsenal's continuous attacks posed a constant threat to Courtois' goal, and the Chelsea fans in the audience and in front of the TV were frightened.

When the broadcast screen was shown to Conte, the Chelsea fans watching the live game became increasingly dissatisfied with the Italian.

This is the third game Conte has coached Chelsea against Arsenal. So far, he has scored 0 goals and conceded 7 goals.

In their view, the players are indeed responsible for poor performance, but Conte's coaching team is obviously more responsible for not formulating tactics to counter Arsenal.

Fuck off!

These are the two words Chelsea fans want to say most about Conte.

Closer to home.

Courtois wanted to pass a short goal kick, but saw that the Arsenal players led by Cavani had no intention of going back.

Cavani is at the front, very close to David Luiz, who passes the most passes. Welbeck, Sanchez, Martin, Xhaka, Kanter and others are stuck in other passing routes.

To be on the safe side, Courtois chose to drive the ball forward.

Diego Costa was targeted by Van Dijk again. Perhaps due to the anxiety and impatience caused by not being able to get the ball for a long time, he made an elbow swing after taking off, which hit Van Dijk who was caught off guard in the face. The latter fell to the ground.

"Beep~"

Anthony Taylor blew his whistle and walked toward the Spanish forward with a dirty look on his face.

Diego Costa looked at the referee with an innocent face, shrugged and explained: "I didn't do anything."

Anthony Taylor was in a good position. Although he did not directly see Diego Costa's left elbow hit Van Dijk's face, he saw an obvious elbow swing.

that's enough.

yellow card.

The live director restored the footage, and fans watching the live broadcast of the game could clearly see that Diego Costa's left elbow indeed hit Van Dijk in the face.

Conte glanced at Batshuayi on the bench and sighed in his heart.

There is no one to replace...

Van Dijk was checked by the team doctor and found to be fine, and returned to the pitch to continue the game with the permission of referee Anthony Taylor.

Arsenal began to organize the attack in the backcourt, and moved the football to the core of Chelsea's defensive third zone through continuous multiple passes.

The two central midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Matic both received yellow cards, and their defensive actions were greatly restricted. Martin took the ball very calmly in this area.

Cavani, Sanchez and Welbeck got shooting opportunities one after another.

The Arsenal fans in the audience went crazy again, shouting hysterically and cheering for the players who performed well on the field.

Wenger, who was standing in the technical area commanded by the home team coach, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. This goal conversion rate is really touching.

Conte, the coach of the visiting team directing the technical area, frowned. He had actually noticed that the defense in the middle was almost out of control. If fresh blood was not added, Arsenal's attack in the middle would score sooner or later.

But Pedro, Zuma, Ake and Terry who were looking at the warm-up area quickly turned their heads to look at the court.

David Luiz's big-footed clearance was picked up by Koscielny near the center arc, and Arsenal continued to organize the attack.

Martin, who ran to the top of the arc in the penalty area, used the arch of his right foot to stop Sanchez's cross pass from the attacking left rib more than half a meter to the left, widening the distance from Matic. He stepped out with his right foot to support his body and headed towards The left foot swings back and kicks the football, which is actually a fake shot and a real dunk.

Immediately afterwards, he paused, faked a shot and passed, and sent a pass to the front right from the arch of his right foot.

Matic suddenly braked and turned around without realizing it, and was about to raise his leg to block Martin's shooting angle. As a result, he saw Martin use the arch of his right foot to send a penetrating diagonal pass.

Left center back Gary Cahill immediately approached Martin, who was making a fake shot but actually dunking, and cooperated with Matic to complete the enlarged block.

Marcos Alonso on the left wing followed Welbeck who moved inside, leaving him and Gary Cahill free behind him.

Logically speaking, this position is defended by Hazard.

But he didn't want to focus all his energy on defense, and Arsenal's offense hadn't played on the right for a long time, so he selectively ignored it.

totally unexpected……

"Bellerin!"

Lexus sports commentator Zhan Jun’s voice rose an octave.

Bellerin, who had not penetrated the deep offensive zone much in this game, cut from the outside of the right sideline of the penalty area to the bottom line area of ​​​​the right rib of the penalty area.

Neither Gary Cahill nor Marcos Alonso could defend in the first place. David Luiz in the center decisively defended and blocked potential cross points.

Azpilicueta was close to Cavani who was running towards the middle of the penalty area. Matic glanced at Martin's position consciously while returning to defend the penalty area. He saw that the opponent's running direction was almost overlapping with his own, and secretly let out a sigh of relief. .

As long as Bellerin dares to pass the inverted triangle, he is sure to clear the ball!

Bellerin, who was running at high speed, glanced at his teammates in the penalty area. He stopped the ball in front of him for a moment before passing the ball.

The football soared from the ground and flew over the small penalty area. Courtois, who was standing in front of the goal line, looked up at the football that was like a rainbow cutting across the sky. He decisively gave up taking off to pick the ball. His body followed the movement of his eyes from the middle of the goal to the goal. The far side of the goal moves.

Matic, who was guarding the penalty spot, glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a red figure leaping high at the far end of the goal. The Arabic numeral [10] displayed behind it was particularly eye-catching, and he was stunned.

"This……"

The scene broadcast by the on-site director just covered the entire penalty area. Fans watching the live TV saw Martin leaping high. After taking off to the highest point, his hands were naturally opened to maintain the balance of the body. His upper body was leaned back, like a bow that was nearly fully drawn, with his waist. The abdomen is the axis that transmits the power of the whole body to the head through the neck.

His forehead hit the middle and upper part of the football!

The ball, which was forced to change its trajectory, dived from top to bottom at a faster speed and hit the ground half a meter in front of the goal line. The ball bounced off the ground and passed by the fingertips of Courtois' right hand, which subconsciously fell to the ground. , grazing the inner edge of the left goal post and hitting the snow-white net...

※※※※※

"Goooooooooooooal——"

"The ball went in! Martin!! Headbutted the goal!! 2:0!!"

"The Arsenal captain once again used his divine skills to break Thibaut Courtois' goal!"

"It still depends on Martin to score the goal! He is too strong!"

……

The commentator in the live commentary box/live broadcast room blurted out.

Martin, who scored the goal, ran towards Bellerin who provided the assist, and at the same time called his teammates to celebrate the goal that expanded the score.

Wenger smiled and hugged assistants Bold and Gary Williams, knowing the goal would almost kill the game.

Conte, who was not far away, was very angry. He bent down and picked up the box containing water bottles by his legs, and then slammed it to the ground to vent his dissatisfaction.

Zidane, who was sitting in the audience, looked thoughtfully at Martin, who was surrounded by Arsenal players.

Arsenal had many opportunities in this game, but only Martin took advantage of two opportunities.

In other words, will not giving Martin a chance to shoot, or restricting Martin from taking a shot, will reduce the possibility of conceding the ball?

Thinking of this, Zidane quickly wrote it down in his notebook and drew a big circle on Martin's name.

If you want to defeat Arsenal in the Champions League final, limiting Martin's shooting becomes extremely important!

Immediately, the live director restored the entire process of Martin's goal.

From his diagonal pass to his erratic movement, he finally appeared at the cross landing point with a high leap.

The whole process was very entertaining to watch, and the header was a textbook one.

Leshi sports commentator Zhan Jundao: "Martin's scoring ability is so strong!"

"It is indeed very strong! He scored a goal in each half to help Arsenal lead 2:0 at the new Wembley Stadium. If nothing else happens, Arsenal will win the FA Cup for the fourth consecutive season! Become this The first team to win four consecutive championships since the inception of this competition!”

Guest commentator Li Yuankui said impassionedly.

Longguo fans who watched the live broadcast of the game were delighted with Martin's outstanding performance.

Before the game started, the on-site director replayed Conte's dissatisfaction with conceding the ball.

James smiled and changed sides: "Conte is obviously very dissatisfied with the defensive players, but Chelsea's offense cannot pose a threat to Martinez guarding the goal. Arsenal's offensive players are naturally unscrupulous. There is still time before the end of the game." There is more than half an hour, and there is still plenty of time left for Chelsea. I hope they can regain their strength..."

Between words, the game started again.

Chelsea, who were two goals behind, had no choice but to strengthen their offense to win shooting opportunities.

Arsenal, who were leading by score, were very good at active defense after taking the lead. They used excellent overall defense to not give Chelsea's offensive players even a single space.

Willian and Hazard are known for attacking from the wing, but they are simply unable to play one-on-one.

Arsenal's defensive players were very focused, using more to defend but less, which did not give William and Hazard, who were good at breakthroughs, a chance.

Time passed by second by second, and soon it came to the seventy minutes of the game.

The scoreboard still showed the score 2:0.

At this physical point, Chelsea players' physical fitness is a bit tight and they are unable to provide continuous offensive pressure.

After surviving three attacks from Chelsea's offense, Xhaka and Martin consciously controlled the rhythm of the game and firmly controlled the football at their own feet.

Many Chelsea players were carrying yellow cards and did not dare to take tactical fouls.

Therefore, Arsenal made reasonable use of passing to consume game time.

Ten minutes passed by and Arsenal made conscious personnel changes.

Gnabry replaced Welbeck and Giroud replaced Cavani.

Chelsea still stood still. Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, the on-site director showed Conte a close-up shot.

The meaning you want to express is very clear.

Arsenal have made adjustments to two positions, why haven't you made a substitution?

Conte really wanted to make substitutions, but the players in the warm-up area simply couldn't support his tactical system.

Rather than using players with insufficient abilities, it is better to continue to trust the players on the field.

Willian was replaced by Pedro in the 85th minute.

It's just that this adjustment is of no use to the offense. On the contrary, Pedro's appearance disrupted the offensive rhythm of the frontcourt.

Even because Pedro's defensive enthusiasm was not as good as Willian's, Arsenal seized the opportunity to seal the victory...

In the 87th minute of the game, Kanter prejudged Cesc Fabregas's pass to Hazard, and then immediately handed it to Martin who was reaching for the ball.

Matic had a yellow card on his body. He just pulled Martin symbolically, but he did not stop him in place.

Gary Cahill immediately pounced on Martin, who pretended to pass to Sanchez, who was advancing at high speed from the left, but actually passed a reverse through ball.

Gnabry, who came on as a substitute, was unmarked and strode across the center line, stopping Martin's well-timed pass.

"wowoowoooooooo——"

The desperate exclamations of Chelsea fans echoed over the new Wembley Stadium.

Gary Cahill on the far left of the three central defenders went to tackle Martin, David Luiz in the center focused on Giroud, and Azpilicueta on the far right needed to mark Sanchez.

Gnabry, who attacked the right rib, was very fast. He basically kept taking three steps and rushed the ball towards Chelsea's penalty area without losing speed.

It's equivalent to saying...

"Single sword!"

At the same time, Leshi sports commentator Zhan Jun’s voice suddenly rose an octave higher.

Gnabry came on as a substitute and was full of energy. With the admiration of Arsenal fans all over the world, he dribbled the ball into the penalty area, adjusted his steps, and faced the attacking Courtois and chose to use the change of rhythm at his feet to form a breakthrough and then kick the empty goal.

"The ball is in!"

James shouted with undiminished passion: "Gnabry received Martin's timely through ball as if he was in no one's reach, passed Courtois and hit the empty goal. Arsenal 3 at the New Wembley Stadium: Leading Chelsea by 0! With 1 and a half minutes left in regular game time, plus at most five minutes of injury time, this goal can basically seal the victory!"

Arsenal fans at the new Wembley Stadium were as excited as children, celebrating the goal with joy.

They all know that this goal means locking the championship!

Four consecutive FA Cup titles!

Chelsea players, who were three goals behind, also realized that the situation was decided.

Chelsea fans who originally had high hopes left the stadium in batches, out of sight but out of mind.

After four minutes of injury time, the scoreboard still showed the score 3:0.

"Congratulations to Martin! Congratulations to Arsenal! Creating a new British record! Four consecutive FA Cup titles!"

Lux sports commentator Zhan Jun shouted passionately: "No need to say anything more, as long as Martin is still at Arsenal, this team will dominate the British arena! Invincible!!"
