He was expelled from naturalization at the beginning and slipped to Europe to become the king of the

Chapter 394 The best gift to send off the professor: champion in various competitions!

"Beep~"

The referee Bruchy blew his whistle to signal the end of the first half.

The on-site director quickly showed the camera to Martin, who scored the only goal in the first half, and also gave a close-up shot of his face.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said impassionedly: "As long as you are human, you will not be able to concentrate enough. Players such as Matuidi, Khedira, and Pjanic have all focused on Martin. But the difference between a superstar and a top star is that if you are a little negligent, he will always seize the opportunity and step forward at a moment of rapid change!"

"Martin's ability to seize opportunities is so strong, because he always stands up when you least expect it. How can I put it, I can only say that his reputation as the number one superstar in football is not in vain!"

Guest commentator Xu Yang said impassionedly: "Now there are voices saying that young Martin has won all kinds of honors and has lost his drive for the future, but what I want to say is that Martin has never lacked motivation. He... wants to be this God of the sport!"

Home team locker room.

Allegri has never been good at inciting players' emotions and fighting spirit. What he can do is optimize and adjust the team's tactics.

Already one goal behind at home, we must not be able to defend in the restarted second half, otherwise it will lead to a very passive game at the Emirates Stadium in the second round.

Arsenal's home ground is unbeatable!

If you want to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the first thing you need to do is win Arsenal at home to lay the groundwork for the two-leg knockout rounds.

However, he did not think of how to get rid of the current offensive and defensive dilemma, so he could only optimize according to the game tactics formulated before the game.

Strengthen offense as much as possible while ensuring defense.

Therefore, the performance of Dybala, Pjanic and Higuain in the second half became particularly important.

In addition to the need to continue to perform defensive tasks, the offensive end also needs to invest more energy, especially the quick counterattack from defense to offense.

Must grasp!

At the same time, the live broadcast rooms of various TV stations conducted detailed reviews of the end of the first half.

Although the entire first half seemed boring, the fans watching in front of the TV watched with gusto.

In fact, Martin seemed to be under very tight surveillance, but he still performed with ease and played with style.

Because Arsenal's offense did not appear constipated, on the contrary, it was very smooth.

This... is a great test of the personal ability of an offensive midfielder.

After professional football experts explained it, the fans who didn't know why suddenly woke up: That's it.

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court one after another to prepare for the 45 minutes of the second half.

Juventus, who was lagging behind, consciously stepped up their offensive amidst the roar of the audience, but their play was not smooth.

You can pass the ball however you want in the midfield and backfield, but once the football is passed to the thirty-meter area, it will be closely monitored.

Dybala himself is relatively fragile and weak in physical confrontation.

Pjanic's body is slightly better, but his ability to fight is a common shortcoming.

The two may still be able to hold on in Serie A, but at such a level against Arsenal, the new overlord of the Premier League, they lost control of the football after a little bit of intensity.

The referee Bruchy is a Bundesliga referee, and the Bundesliga is also a league that emphasizes confrontation. Faced with various complaints from Dybala and Pjanic, he shook his head and said there was no problem.

Juventus coach Allegri stood on the sidelines for a long time with his hands spread out, but he didn't receive any attention...

The home fans couldn't stand it any longer and kept sending harsh boos to the referee.

Central 5 commentator He Wei gave a key comment at this time: "Juventus' frontcourt offense must be more concise. They cannot wait for Arsenal players to get closer before thinking about the next move. The Premier League has a fast pace and also emphasizes physical confrontation. The Bundesliga The same is true, Bruchy, who has been officiating in the Bundesliga all year round, will definitely not officiate reasonable physical confrontation."

"Through multiple replays, it was found that Arsenal players did not commit any obvious fouls at all. They were all reasonable physical contacts. Ensuring the smoothness of the game is a measure of a referee's professional ability. If there is even the slightest contact and a foul is committed, Bruchy will also Not going to be an elite referee in Europe."

Guest commentator Xu Yang said: "If Juventus players still focus on complaining about the referee's loose penalty standards, then they will not be far away from conceding the second goal..."

In the 58th minute of the game, Arsenal took advantage of the opportunity of Juventus players to compete with referee Bruchy to expand the score.

Khedira passed the ball directly to Dybala who retreated to organize the attack near the arc of the center circle.

As an Argentinian player, his skills with his feet are undoubtedly very delicate and his football intelligence is also very high. After realizing that Arsenal was strengthening the confrontation, he also adjusted his personal style of play. He no longer sticks to the ball too much, but rushes to catch Martin before he gets on the body. The ball was passed to Pjanic who ran out of space.

Sooner or later, Kanter, who has a very large activity area and a high football intelligence, appeared in Dybala's passing lane.

Pjanic, who was about to take the ball, was startled and quickly blocked his position.

Unexpectedly, Kanter came up very quickly and went straight to the body.

They were shoulder to shoulder.

Kanter is not tall, but his lower body strength and core strength are extremely strong, which is more than two levels stronger than Pjanic, who is weak in confrontation ability.

Almost at the moment of physical contact, Pjanic was knocked and staggered.

Immediately afterwards, Kanter used his stronger explosive power and reaction ability to get stuck in front of Pjanic. He took a small step with his left foot and extended his right foot to poke the bouncing football out.

Being able to firmly occupy Arsenal's main midfielder position with his height of just over 1.7 meters and weight of less than 70 kilograms, Kanter, who is good at defense, naturally has extra points.

Golf quotient!

His interception is never just for the purpose of intercepting the ball, but to make the transition from defense to offense faster!

The football rolled towards his partner Xhaka, and Douglas Costa instinctively pounced on it, grabbing Xhaka from behind with both hands in order to prevent the opponent from advancing with the ball.

Xhaka, who is already known as one of the "ceremonial midfielders" in world football, naturally does not make tactical mistakes. Through advance observation and nearly two years of cooperation, he passed the ball directly with the arch of his left foot without stopping the ball. Got out.

The target is exactly... the head of the midfield of the ceremony.

Martin!

Matuidi and Kante are both the main midfielders of the French team. They serve as double midfielders to protect Pogba and have strong defensive awareness.

Naturally, Martin noticed early on.

The most critical thing is that Martin scored the only goal in the game so far because of his negligence.

In order not to make the same mistake, he had to grit his teeth and keep an eye on Martin, even if his own team was organizing an offense with the ball.

as predicted!

At the moment of switching from offense to defense, Arsenal players quickly passed the ball in the direction of Martin's running.

So, Matuidi stretched out his hand and pulled Martin before he got the ball.

Normally, the referee will call a foul and give the offending player a yellow card.

Bruchy's refereeing skills are very high. Through advance observation and prediction, he has judged that even if Martin does not catch the ball, other Arsenal players will be able to get it.

I saw the football passing by the toe of Martin's extended right foot quickly rolling to Cavani's feet!

Chielinidin pushed against Cavani and didn't give him a chance to turn around.

However, Cavani had no intention of turning around with the ball. He resisted Chiellini coming from behind, pushed lightly with the arch of his right foot, and rolled right towards Martin, who had escaped Matuidi's defense.

Martin, who was complaining to the referee a second ago, didn't know when it had started.

After the foul, Matuidi was still raising his hands to prove his innocence. Suddenly, he blurted out a sentence similar to "hold the grass" in his mind, but it was too late to catch up with Martin who started to accelerate after receiving the ball.

Khedira, who was focused, moved in and took the initiative to seek physical contact.

He had a yellow card on his back, so naturally he didn't dare to commit a blatant foul.

So all that can be done is to cause trouble for Martin.

Reasonable physical contact is allowed by the rules.

What Khedira never expected was that she, who was 1.89 meters tall and weighed 83 kilograms, would be knocked away by Martin...

Although Martin stumbled a little, it did not affect his ability to maintain tight control of the football.

Benatia thought that Martin would lose his center of gravity and lose control of the football after being violently collided by Khedira.

Never imagined.

Martin just took two small steps, and by the time Benatia realized what was happening, it was already too late.

With his super balance ability, Martin stabilized his body center of gravity in two trots. Benatia, who was about to make a rescue, suddenly hesitated.

Whether it's offense or defense.

The most fearful thing is always hesitation!

Therefore, while Martin was accelerating, he used the inside of the instep of his right foot to pick up the ball and dunk it to the left. Then he used the inside of the instep of his left foot to dunk the football with his right foot toward the direction in front of him.

Fried meatballs!

After realizing it, Benatia stretched her legs too late.

Not even a hair was touched.

Right back De Sciglio, who was not involved in the attack, was extremely focused and rushed directly towards Martin who passed Benatia.

Unexpectedly, the huge void behind him was exposed.

To be precise, it was the space behind De Sciglio and another central defender Chiellini.

Martin did not force a breakthrough. The distance between him and De Sciglio was not far enough. The defensive players in this situation would not use conventional defensive methods at all.

There are not many opportunities for battles between strong players.

Just when De Sciglio was ready to commit a foul, Martin, who was on the left rib, used the arch of his right foot to push the ball forward. The route happened to be a huge vacuum behind De Sciglio and Benatia, who was originally out of position.

After passing the center line, Cavani pretended to accelerate in a straight line, but actually took two steps and suddenly ran towards the left rib of the attack.

The running direction is exactly the same as Martin's passing route.

Chiellini, who lost the opportunity to mark, knew not to let Cavani get the ball easily and would foul if necessary.

He knew that De Sciglio would definitely not be able to guard Martin.

Therefore, it becomes extremely important to limit Cavani who holds the ball.

Cavani, who was running at high speed, met Martin without slowing down and sent the football, which was not particularly large in advance and had slowed down, as if he was trying to stop the ball forward.

The movements and postures were so realistic that even Chiellini was shaken.

Cavani, who seemed to have no intention of slowing down, suddenly braked suddenly one second before touching the ball. Even though Chiellini was careful, he was unable to complete the emergency stop immediately.

In high-level events, a tenth of a second delay will also bring unexpected losses.

Cavani, who made an emergency stop, adjusted the ball to his familiar right foot. Chiellini was unable to complete the block immediately due to the inertia, so he could only watch helplessly as the football was hoisted towards the center.

De Sciglio wanted to foul, but Martin didn't give him the chance.

Using the space in the vacuum zone, he used his speed advantage to distance himself from each other and completed overtaking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Martin!!!"

The on-site director cut to a panoramic view of Juventus' half-court defense, and Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's voice suddenly rose an octave higher.

I saw Martin, who was passing the ball and cutting back, throwing away De Sciglio at the ultimate speed. Without losing speed, he used his naturally raised right foot with the instep to pass Cavani's lob pass to the left rib of the attack. Stop on the ground in front of you in the direction of travel.

Allegri, who was standing in the technical area where the coach of the home team was directing, had his mouth half-opened in a daze, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

The Juventus fans in the audience were still working hard. They booed hysterically and tried to put huge psychological pressure on Martin.

Unexpectedly, Martin's heart was not affected. Instead, the heart of Buffon, who was over 40 years old, made a very uneasy "thump" sound at this time.

He clearly remembered Martin's single-handed goal scoring rate...

One hundred percent!

How to do?

In a flash of lightning, Martin, who had attracted worldwide attention, suddenly shot about forty meters away from the goal... and shot!

His field of vision was very broad, and from the corner of his eye he happened to notice that the 'junior' Buffon, who was relatively forward, was hesitating whether to attack or not.

Martin's shot is exactly what technical players love...a lob.

Without any adjustment, he supports his body with his left foot and rubs the inside of his right foot toward the middle and lower part of the football.

The football rises from the ground and flies towards the goal with a strong bottom-up parabola.

Buffon, who was standing about one meter in front of the penalty spot, suddenly woke up and immediately backed away.

But football flies very fast, and his body's reaction rate is affected by age.

Just after taking the third step back, Buffon looked at the falling football and had to jump back and spread his right arm...

When he jumped to the highest point, the fingertips of his right hand that reached the highest point were still a few centimeters away from the falling football.

It is these few centimeters that let Buffon know what it means...

Time is not forgiving.

Old~

The falling football almost flew past Buffon's fingertips and hit the snow-white net.

……

Fans around the world sighed again.

Why is this guy Martin so good at scoring?

And it’s very ornamental.

Even Buffon dared to hang the door.

Cattle!

A close-up shot of the on-site director showed Martin hugging his teammates to celebrate the goal.

Subsequently, the on-site director restored the entire process of scoring a goal.

Through replays, fans watching the live broadcast of the game were all impressed by Arsenal's efficient and quick counterattack.

Juventus, playing at home, fell behind by two goals, and there was no way out for them.

Next, we must go all out to score goals, score as many goals as possible, and preferably be able to turn defeat into a victory, otherwise once we go to the Emirates Stadium, elimination is certain.

Arsenal, who took a two-goal lead, consciously slowed down the ball in the restarted game to reduce physical exertion as much as possible.

Four days later, we will play a League Cup final against Manchester City at the new Wembley Stadium!

According to Wenger's idea, when winning the game, reduce consumption as much as possible.

Arsenal, who are fully defensive, are not to be said to be impregnable, but facing a team like Juventus that does not have many offensive methods, they will not easily expose fatal gaps during movement.

After gaining possession of the ball, his ability to control the situation is among the best in the world. According to media reports, his control ability is comparable to that of Barcelona, ​​the third team in the top three teams.

Until the end of the game, the score displayed on the scoreboard did not change.

0:2

The home team goes first and the away team goes last.

……

"competition is over!"

"competition is over!!"

"Arsenal defeated Serie A leader Juventus 2:0 as a guest with captain Martin's goals in the first and second half! Winning the opportunity for the two-round knockout round!"

Bruchy blew his whistle, two short and one long, and CC5 commentator He Wei spoke impassionedly.

The on-site director showed the camera to Martin again.

This... is the best treatment in the game.

He scored two goals to help the defending champion defeat Juventus with two goals as a guest.

The winning rate at the Emirates Stadium is extremely high, and there is no record of losing a game in Martin.

Taking a two-goal lead as an away team, even if they lose a small goal at home, they can advance to the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League.

However, everyone knows that Arsenal with Martin will not lose.

Winning the game as a guest means advancing in advance!

In the regular press conference after the game, Wenger was still very low-key, saying that the knockout round is a two-legged system. Winning the away game in the first leg does not mean 100%, and he still needs to go all out in the home game in the second leg.

Allegri, the home team coach who joined later, is exactly the same as most coaches who lose.

Take the initiative to take responsibility for losing, and shamelessly say that there is still a chance in the second round.

At the same time, another Champions League 1/8 final held in London had many goals but no winner.

2:2

Chelsea drew with Roma at home.

After playing the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals, Arsenal players returned to London and immediately entered the recovery stage to prepare for the weekend's EFL Cup final.

This is the first championship in the British arena in the 2017-2018 season.

The gold content is not too high, but... the whole team is full of desire.

The outside world has already heard that Wenger will retire this summer. As a player, he obviously knows more than the outside world.

Not only the EFL Cup champions, but also champions of other competitions are the best farewell gifts.

Aubameyang is unable to participate in the remaining games of the Champions League this season, but he can participate in all games in England.

Naturally, his feelings for coach Arsene Wenger are not as rich as those of many teammates, but he respects the professor very much. Wenger is obviously the reason why he can join a championship club like Arsenal.

It is obviously great to be able to bid farewell to Wenger with championships in all competitions before he retires.

Manchester.

Guardiola and his team are also focusing all their energy on preparations for the EFL Cup final.

The opponents in the first round of the Champions League 1/8 finals had limited abilities and put in much less energy than Arsenal.

Therefore, Guardiola and all Manchester City players are confident about the EFL Cup final at the weekend.

As time went on, the focus of mainstream European media was on London.

Arsenal VS Manchester City.

The two teams have played against each other a lot in the past three seasons, and almost all of them won after Martin joined, so the major media are quite optimistic that Arsenal will win three consecutive championships in this event!

Although Manchester City fans are often slapped in the face by Arsenal's performance, they still support their beloved team at critical moments. They think that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, they believe that their beloved team will definitely turn around and defeat Arsenal!

Against this background, the 2017-2018 EFL Cup... quietly arrived.
