Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Arsenal eliminated Liverpool on total and joined Manchester City in the 2015-2016 EFL Cup final. This was a result that many media and fans expected before the game.

The finals, as usual, are played at the new Wembley Stadium at the end of February.

Arsenal still have many games before the EFL Cup final.

If they can successfully eliminate Burnley in the fourth round of the FA Cup, Arsenal will have six games before the EFL Cup final.

Three league games, two FA Cups and one first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals.

Fortunately, in these six games, except for the unknown opponent who has a high probability of advancing to the sixth round of the FA Cup, only Leicester City, who played at home on Valentine's Day, is relatively strong, and the other opponents are relatively easy to deal with.

At 1 pm local time on January 30th in England, Arsenal faced their FA Cup fourth-round opponent at home.

Sitting at the Emirates Stadium to face Burnley, currently ranked third in the British Championship.

Burnley, playing away from home, may have considered that they are only four points away from the promotion line, and their opponent is the leader of the Premier League. They ended a fierce British Championship match three days ago, so not many main players came to the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal, with half the main force, defeated their opponents 3:0.

With the end of the fourth round of the FA Cup, time has also come to the last day of January.

As we draw closer to the end of the winter transfer window, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is quite disappointed with the capabilities of the board.

None of Vardy, Lacazette, Kanter and Xhaka were bought.

With captain Arteta, Coquelin, Rosicky, Wilshere, and Cazorla recuperating from injuries for a long time, it only spent 5 million pounds to buy Egyptian captain Elneny from Basel.

Signings of such quality mean that Martin can only continue to be in the organizational midfielder position.

In just the past three days, Arsenal has played its first game in February at the Emirates Stadium.

against Southampton.

Regarding this game, the domestic media and fans of Dragon Kingdom and the domestic media and fans of Sakura Kingdom are paying close attention to this game.

Because players from both countries will have players with a high probability of starting.

Since Martin's debut, the team of Sakura Country players has not had a record of defeating Martin, and it also has a very high defeat rate.

Although the start time of the game is very unfriendly to East Asian fans, there are still a large number of fans waiting for the game to start.

Both teams fielded their strongest lineups.

Sakura Nation player Maya Yoshida started the game, partnering Van Dijk as a double central defender.

Martin, the Dragon Country player, still serves as an organizational midfielder, partnering with Flamini.

The game has not yet started. A large number of Dragon Kingdom fans took the initiative to climb the wall to Twitter and Ins, where Sakura Kingdom fans gather, and used extremely insulting words to provoke Sakura Kingdom fans.

Perhaps taking into account Martin's super ability to lead the whole team, the vast majority of Sakura fans kept their mouths shut. Only a few stubborn Sakura fans responded tit-for-tat.

If you can't beat Martin at the player level, then... you can only find another way to regain your place at the national team level.

Most of the Dragon Country fans are quick-thinking and extremely smart, and they directly withdraw the topic, which does not put the Sakura Country fans in a good mood at all.

Thousands of miles away in London, Emirates Stadium.

Martin, who started the game, gave the Dragon Country fans a shot in the arm less than a minute into the game.

Martin, who was in front of the penalty area, jumped up high and directly carried Maya Yoshida away in the air, and then struggled to direct the ball to the upper left corner of the goal.

Unfortunately, goalkeeper Foster, who is tall and has long arms, reacted quickly, jumped up sideways, and touched the ball slightly with the fingertips of his right hand.

It was precisely this collision that caused the football's flight trajectory to deviate, hitting the left goal post and bouncing back.

Ward-Prowse had quick eyes and quick feet. He leaned over and dived to the top, pushing the ball over the baseline.

"oooo——"

The Arsenal fans screamed in surprise over the Emirates Stadium.

The Sakura national fans in front of the TV were trembling in their hearts. If Martin beat Maya Yoshida and scored with a tomahawk headbutt, their country would be insulted like never before.

Fortunately, fortunately...

Unexpectedly, Sakura National fans were lucky that within half a minute, Giroud and Mertesacker's corner kick tactics worked.

Martin, who was closely guarded by Ma Yoshida and Sean Long, jumped up high from the back of the right rib of the penalty area. His upper body was slightly tilted back, with his waist and abdomen as the axis, and his head was transmitted from back to front through a tense neck. He gathered all his strength and slammed his forehead into the middle and upper part of the flying football.

The football pushed out by Martin was very powerful and had a very tricky angle, flying towards the upper left corner of the goal.

Foster, who had just moved from the middle of the goal to the near corner on the right, felt something bad. He made a hasty cross step and jumped into the air. However, his fully opened right hand was still a full football away from the football that landed in the upper left corner of the goal...

"The ball is in! It's in!!!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei said impassionedly: "In the third minute of the game, Martin took advantage of a corner kick to pass the football from Sanchez to the back of the penalty area and directly headed it into the upper left corner of the goal! Arsenal led 3:1!"

Martin, who fell due to gravity, did not celebrate the goal immediately. Instead, he glanced at Sakura Country player Maya Yoshida playfully.

This scene was captured by the on-site director.

The Dragon Country fans were ecstatic, calling Martin's glance "King's Contempt" and laughing at the Sakura Country fans.

A large number of Sakura Nation fans watching the live broadcast of the game instantly broke through the defense, and various kinds of くそ, baga, なめてんじゃねーぞ, etc. emerged in endlessly.

The visiting team Southampton should have strengthened its attack when they were behind in the score. However, considering Arsenal's strong scoring ability at home, Koeman's team still played steadily and played according to the tactics formulated before the game.

Southampton played in a calm manner, and Arsenal, who were leading the score, had no need to be anxious.

At the end of the first half, Martin passed Ward-Prowse and Wanyama in the process of switching from defense to attack, and then sent an exquisite through ball to accurately find Sanchez who was advancing at high speed.

The Chilean international is obviously getting better and better. Facing Maya Yoshida's defense, he easily knocked him down, and then completed a low shot from the left side of the penalty area to the far end of the goal before Van Dijk could make up the replacement.

The kicked football rolled past Van Dijk who had fallen to the ground to block the ball. Foster was half a beat too slow when he got down, so he could only watch helplessly as the football brushed against the inner edge of the right goal post. The goal line hit the snow-white net.

With Martin and Sanchez's mutual passing and shooting achievements, Arsenal easily defeated visiting Southampton 2:0 at home.

A focus match ended later at the King Power Stadium. Leicester City defeated Liverpool with the same 2:0, so Arsenal's lead was still 13 points.

Although Leicester City did not drop points at home, Arsenal fans are full of confidence in the Blue Fox's next league game.

Because, their league opponent in the 25th round is Manchester City.

And playing away from home.

The 2015th round of the 2016-25 Premier League kicked off at the Etihad Stadium.

This game is closely watched across Europe.

Especially Arsenal people.
