Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

In the 2015th round of the 2016-37 Premier League season, the most eye-catching match was undoubtedly Manchester City VS Arsenal.

The home team Manchester City must not only retain their place in the Champions League next season, but also avoid becoming a stepping stone for Arsenal to hit the Premier League points record. Therefore, this powerful dialogue attracted a lot of attention before the game.

The game means a lot for Manchester City, but also for Arsenal.

However, Arsenal will have physical problems after playing the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals in midweek. Head coach Wenger also mentioned in an interview with the media that he will give the main players a chance to rest in the remaining three league games.

Although they will not play the rest of the league with one set of starters, there are still a lot of British media reports on the possibility of Arsenal hitting the Premier League championship points record and the first 100-point championship in England's top league.

Secondly, Martin is still 69 times away from the 5 direct participation goals created by Messi.

With two rounds of the league and one make-up match, Martin, who is in hot form, has a very high possibility.

It's just that except for the British media who are full of confidence in Martin, the media led by the Western media believe that it is only theoretically possible for Martin to surpass Messi, and the probability is not high.

Because, they will visit the Etihad Stadium and Old Trafford successively.

It will be very difficult for Martin to get enough goals and assists from the Manchester City duo.

That's why once you perform well, it will be a gold-rich record!

The kind that shocks the past and the present!

And if Martin scores enough goals and assists, Arsenal will also have a great possibility of setting a record.

In addition, the peak showdown between Manchester City and Arsenal is also known as a key battle in the battle for the season's top scorer.

After 36 rounds of the league, Martin ranked first in the scorer list with 26 goals, and Aguero tied for third with Vardy with 24 goals.

From a scoring perspective, whoever scores more goals will have a greater probability of winning.

Before the game, Aguero was full of confidence in an interview with the media, claiming that with De Bruyne behind him to deliver cannonballs, it is very possible to surpass Martin to top the scorer list...

Arsenal fans sneered and ridiculed this.

Fortunately, Aguero did not have the habit of surfing the Internet before the game, otherwise he might be angered by the outspoken Arsenal fans.

……

At 55097pm on Sunday, the Etihad Stadium, which can accommodate up to fans, was already full, excluding the necessary isolation seats, an hour before the start of the game.

Players from the home team are always greeted with deafening shouts, while players from the away team are met with overwhelming boos as they warm up.

Martin is Arsenal's best player, and the treatment he receives is the most booing in line with his status.

He has long been accustomed to this kind of treatment.

The more capable players go to the visiting team, and whoever receives the louder boos means who the home fans fear the most.

Players from both sides of the match began to warm up, and in accordance with international practice, the starting lineups submitted by the two teams to the Premier League were quickly distributed.

The home team Manchester City still uses the usual 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart

Defenders: Clichy, Otamendi, Kompany, Sagna

Midfielder: Fernando, Fernandinho

Midfielder: Sterling, De Bruyne, Jesus

Forward: Aguero

……

Arsenal, who made the rotation, also arranged a 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Ospina

Defenders: Gibbs, Koscielny, Chambers, Bellerin

Midfielder: Martin, Elneny

Midfielders: Sanchez, Wilshere, Iwobi

Forward: Theo Walcott

……

Pellegrini, who got Arsenal's starting lineup, did not take it lightly. On the contrary, he paid special attention to it.

Arsenal, which has already won the championship in advance, still sends its main players in key positions, and also has Martin to coordinate the midfield. Even if it is at home, it will be difficult to win.

At the same time, De Bruyne, who was warming up with the ball on the court, consciously paid attention to the movements of his friend Martin.

Seeing Martin showing excellent competitive condition, my heart couldn't help but tighten.

"Isn't it possible?"

Thinking of this, De Bruyne quickly shook his head and threw the bad idea away.

Sitting at the Etihad Stadium at home, based on what was learned before the game, Arsenal will most likely make adjustments to the lineup, which means that the lineup is not neat.

If he still can't defeat Arsenal led by Martin, he really doesn't know how to play in the future...

The warm-up time, which lasted about forty minutes, was over and the players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms.

The visiting team Arsenal did not attach great importance to the result of the game. Wenger's task was to avoid injuries as much as possible.

After all, the league has won the championship.

The home team players are under great pressure. In addition to preventing Martin from performing on the offensive end, they also have to defeat Arsenal at home to ensure that they can finish fourth in the league and participate in next season's Champions League.

Pellegrini has decided to leave at the end of this season, but he is still serious about his work and wants to make this team the best possible.

A wave of winning streak at the beginning of the season was thought to be the beginning of the competition for the league championship. Unexpectedly, several consecutive rounds of losses led to a continuous decline in the points ranking. For this reason... the club's top management chose Guardiola, whose contract with Bayern expired at the end of this season.

He is not the kind of person who is good at invigorating players through fierce words and highly inflammatory words. The pre-match arrangements mainly revolve around consolidating the tactics developed before the game and making corresponding adjustments to Arsenal's starting lineup.

Things like beating chicken blood have always been left to captain Kompany and striker Aguero.

……

"Beep~"

Referee Anthony Telles pointed his finger at the penalty spot, and the home fans cheered hysterically at the Etihad Stadium.

"what?"

Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai exclaimed: "Anthony Taylor actually awarded a penalty kick? It was obviously a good goal..."

The Arsenal players in the penalty area suddenly became excited and signaled to Anthony Taylor that Sterling's fall was completely a dive!

However, the referee Anthony Taylor was obviously very confident in his decision. He stood there with a calm face and pointed his right index finger firmly at the penalty spot.

Immediately, Martin was shown a yellow card.

Martin, who stood up, glanced meaningfully at Anthony Taylor, who was somewhat a little off, grinned slightly, and said nothing.

De Bruyne, who was near the crime scene, could see it clearly, but he did not speak.

There has never been a shortage of misjudgments in football matches. There is no shortage of misjudgments in this case, and there is no shortage of misjudgments in this case. Moreover, the penalties are beneficial to the team, so there is no such thing as "taking the inside out".

Wenger, who was standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, had a gloomy face, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands high, fully expressing his strong dissatisfaction.

"uuuu——"

Arsenal fans in the visiting team fans' gathering area booed hysterically to Anthony Taylor, who was wearing black.

It's just that the chants created by the home fans were too loud and couldn't penetrate at all, so the mighty momentum that erupted at the Etihad Stadium felt like a long-lasting huge chant.
