Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

"aoaoaoooooo——"

Arsenal created consecutive chances to score, and the Arsenal fans at the San Siro were so inspired that they burst into deafening cheers.

Real Madrid coach Zidane realizes that blindly strengthening the offense may lead to goals instead of goals.

Arsenal did play passively at the beginning of the second half, but under Martin's command, the overall performance became better and better, leaving no good offensive space for the team.

Instead, he made full use of Martin's accurate passing characteristics in the limited offensive opportunities to create murderous opportunities one after another.

If Giroud or Sanchez had been better, Arsenal would have scored again.

Therefore, Real Madrid's next attack will be gradual, making full use of the strong overall force to slowly penetrate forward.

Although Martin is very strong, and his many appearances in key positions also reflect his keen sense of danger index, and his physical fitness is sufficient, but the football game is a team sport, and other Arsenal players' long-term and wide-area running will inevitably cause significant damage. Consumes physical energy, resulting in lack of concentration.

When the time comes, it’s your chance!

Real Madrid once again took control of the game with its strong team, and Arsenal players had to retreat to the 30-meter zone defense.

Martin is still the busiest one on the court. In addition to filling the fleeting gaps in the defense, he also has to direct the entire defense through body movements.

However, the game is very fierce and the stadium atmosphere is fanatical. In many cases, teammates simply don't have the extra thought to capture the gestures, which results in Martin having to appear in the most dangerous areas with a very high arrival rate.

The game came to sixty minutes, and the scoreboard still showed the score 1:1.

Real Madrid greatly reduced their physical energy consumption by taking advantage of controlling the game. Arsenal players' physical fitness declined rapidly after being on the defensive for a long time.

Gnabry, who was very defensively motivated in this game, has gradually shown signs of physical exhaustion.

Wenger, who was standing in the technical area where the home team coach directed the game, saw it and was very satisfied with Gnabry's performance.

Gnabry was able to start, and his consideration was not more about offense, but defensive enthusiasm.

Theo Walcott, Chamberlain, and Welbeck are often not active enough in defense. This situation rarely occurs with the young Gnabry, so Wenger boldly used it in the Champions League final.

In the one-hour game he played, Gnabry performed well, sparing no effort on the defensive end, and was able to actively advance forward when switching from defense to offense, which also enriched the team's three-dimensional offense.

It is precisely because of this that Gnabry was a little physically exhausted just one hour into the game.

In the 62nd minute, Martin fell to the ground on the right and shoveled the ball out of the sideline from Marcelo's high-speed pass.

The referee Kaushoy noticed the fourth official's reminder and faced the technical area on the sidelines.

The on-site director switched the camera, first to Walcott in the technical area, and then quickly to Gnabry back on the court.

Gnabry, who originally felt that his calf muscles were stiff, saw that he was about to be replaced and felt that he was going to cramp, so he bent down and used his hands to break off the soles of his forefoot.

Martin, who was nearby, leaned over and whispered: "Lie down."

Gnabry was very smart and understood immediately. He sat down, raised his legs, pointed at his calf, and exaggeratedly shouted: "It's coming, it's going to come! Ah~"

Martin quickly asked Giroud to come over with him, put his palms on the soles of Gnabry's feet, and pressed down hard.

Cristiano Ronaldo was just next to him, and he heard clearly what Martin said while covering his mouth, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Hold the grass!

Don’t talk about martial ethics!

Zidane was very depressed as he watched the team get going. As a professional player, he naturally knew that Gnabry was most likely faking it, but the referee didn't care about it. The player fell to the ground in cramps and pain and had to agree to the Arsenal doctor's entry according to the rules.

He spread his hands helplessly, his depression palpable.

He had a strong premonition of scoring goals in the previous consecutive attacks, but now that the rhythm is interrupted, he really doesn't know if the team can get back that feeling.

More than half a minute passed before Gnabry limped toward the sideline with the support of the team doctor to complete the substitution handover ceremony.

"Arsenal took the lead in making substitution adjustments. Walcott replaced Gnabry, who was physically weak. The 20-year-old German youngster performed well and completed the defensive tasks assigned by head coach Arsene Wenger very well in the hour he played. …”

Central 5 commentator He Wei saw the substitution electronic sign held high by the fourth official and said loudly.

"Papapapapaaa——"

At the same time, thunderous applause erupted over the Meazza stadium.

Although Gnabry did not perform well on the offensive end, everyone saw his enthusiasm on the defensive end, so they applauded this young player who only gradually gained opportunities at the end of the season.

Walcott entered the stadium and the director showed the camera to Zidane.

The meaning you want to express is relatively clear.

Wenger made adjustments first, will Zidane follow suit?

The lineup sent by Zidane is currently the strongest, and the ability and reputation of the players on the bench cannot shake the starting players.

Unless his physical fitness deteriorates, he does not plan to make substitutions.

Marcelo threw a frontcourt throw-in near the center line. Modric and Kroos organized the attack based on their personal control of the rhythm of the field to see if they could create a decent scoring opportunity.

Cristiano Ronaldo worked very hard. He dropped back to participate in the offensive organization as always when the opportunity was not good.

Although he was not continuously marked by Martin, his connection with his teammates on the ground was very stuck, and it was difficult to perfectly control the football in the air without physical contact.

Time passed by second by second and soon came to seventy minutes.

Neither side created any decent opportunities during this period, and there were naturally very few shots that threatened the opponent's goal.

In addition, as half of the second half passed, the physical fitness of Real Madrid's starting players also declined, and the offensive rhythm began to slow down, allowing everyone to take a break.

Martin has a strong ability to capture opportunities. When he realized that Real Madrid was going to slow down, he deliberately increased the speed.

Gaining the opportunity to switch from defense to attack in positional battles, he no longer made quick decisions like before, but instead increased vertical passing.

The player receiving the ball does not need to make a complicated turn to meet the ball. Ramsey, Sanchez, Walcott or Giroud can actively respond and return the ball to Martin.

The reason for this is to force Real Madrid players to defend closely and create opportunities for teammates to join the attack.

In the 73rd minute of the game, Martin passed the football played by Walcott on the right side of the attack directly to the left side of the attack.

The wide range of non-stop ball transfers are extremely accurate. Monreal, who rarely advanced forward to participate in the attack in this game, advanced along the left sideline at high speed. He passed Martin's well-timed long pass in the direction of travel while running. By the way, he adjusted his steps and chose to cross quickly without giving Carvajal a chance to get closer.

Pepe, who was at the front, pushed the ball out of the baseline just to be on the safe side.

The quality of the corner kick taken by Sanchez was not good, and it went directly from the other side of the goal.

Two minutes later, Carvajal received an accurate transfer from Kroos on the right, made a slight adjustment and directly passed the ball to the back point.
