Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

"Goooooooooooal——"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's almost maniacally drawn-out voice.

The fanatical atmosphere at Old Trafford was instantly detonated, and Manchester United fans, who had always seemed more gentlemanly in the past, let out hysterical shouts.

Martial was extremely excited after scoring the goal. He bypassed Pogba and Mata who were rushing over to celebrate the goal. He opened his arms and ran all the way to the corner kick area on the right side of the attack, kneeling down to express his goal. It brought ecstasy and a roar with a bit of resentment.

Previously, Martial wore No. 9, which symbolizes the main forward. After Ibrahimovic arrived, he had to switch to No. 11. Although No. 11 is an honor at Old Trafford, he prefers No. 9.

After scoring a key goal in a key battle, Martial wants to tell the world that he is more worthy of No. 9 than Ibrahimovic!

Manchester United head coach Mourinho high-fived his assistant Faria in celebration. Naturally, he would not think deeply about the implication of Martial's celebration, and even if he knew it, he would not care.

If Martial can be unleashed to his full potential, why not?

The scoreboard showed the home team Manchester United leading 1:0. Neither Wenger nor the Arsenal players on the field had any special emotional changes.

For a real team, it is normal to be ahead and behind.

As long as you defeat your opponent before the end of the game, you win.

The game restarted. Arsenal, who had a kick-off advantage, continued the tactical play before conceding the ball, and once again handed the dominance to Manchester United, which was not strong in positional warfare, when the offense was difficult to create a threat.

Mourinho, who sat back on the coaching bench, raised his eyebrows slightly, a little puzzled that he still chose a relatively conservative counterattack after falling behind.

He turned to look at Martin, who was directing the defense, and had a rough idea.

Obviously, the international match day still caused some troubles for Arsenal's main players.

The player's condition is not particularly good, and there is a lack of creativity in other ball release points when Martin is closely guarded.

Since a forced attack cannot create enough threats, giving up the initiative to counterattack is obviously the most ideal tactic.

Once the frontcourt organization attack loses the ball, Martin, who is too forward, cannot defend as quickly as he can as an organizational midfielder.

Sanchez looks a little tired, and Ramsey is not a fast player, but Martin has a very strong individual combat ability when switching from defense to offense. He can single out the entire defense line through the lack of defensive players on his own side.

Thinking of this, Mourinho came to the command area and made a tactical adjustment to captain Carrick that only he could understand.

Although positional warfare is not a tactic that Manchester United is good at now, it can use the personal abilities of the stars to directly threaten the defense!

Both Ibrahimovic and Pogba have very strong personal abilities and can create excellent opportunities in specific environments!

In the 36th minute of the game, Xhaka committed a tactical foul in order to prevent Pogba from dribbling the ball forward.

Originally, Marriner just whistled for a foul and did not intend to give a card, but Xhaka beeped twice...

As a result, Marriner felt that his authority as the referee was being challenged and gave him a yellow card.

If Martin hadn't had quick eyesight and quick hands to pull Zakara back, the consequences might have been more serious.

Later, as the captain, Martin took the initiative to ask Marriner to explain, saying that Xhaka just explained that he had touched the ball and there was no need to give a card.

It was just a normal contact between the team captain and the referee. Marriner's face darkened: "You should focus on the game instead of questioning my decision."

After that, Martin was shown another yellow card.

Martin shrugged, shook his head and walked back, too lazy to say anything else.

Head coach Wenger was very annoyed after seeing this. He stood in the visiting team coach's technical area and spread his hands, meaning why should such a penalty be made?

Perhaps Marriner realized that consecutive cards could cause the game to get out of control, and turned a blind eye to Wenger's fierce reaction.

At the same time, the commentators in the live commentary box and the live broadcast room were puzzled by Marriner's penalty.

Especially the yellow card given to Arsenal captain Martin.

Xhaka's tactical scope is strictly enough to warrant a yellow card, and with what he was saying all the time, it is not surprising that he received a yellow card. However, as Arsenal's captain, Martin has every right to communicate with the referee.

It is obviously difficult to accept that he received a yellow card under this background.

Central 5 commentator He Wei frowned and said: "Martin's yellow card is really puzzling. There is neither fierce physical action nor exaggerated questioning. It is the captain's right given by football rules to communicate with the referee on the field. Xhaka and Martin They all received yellow cards, and Arsenal, who were lagging behind, encountered unprecedented difficulties."

"Could it be that...Old Trafford really ended Arsenal's unbeaten record?"

Guest commentator Xu Yang said solemnly.

……

Marriner gave Arsenal's key players yellow cards one after another, and Manchester United coach Mourinho's eyes lit up.

Martin is famous for his good temper and rarely takes cards, but the number of yellow cards he receives will affect the next game action.

Xhaka's temper is completely opposite to Martin's, and he often gets angry for no apparent reason.

Now I am a little dissatisfied with referee Marina's yellow card. Maybe... this is a good breakthrough.

Thinking of this, Mourinho took advantage of Ibrahimovic's opportunity to take a free kick and called left back Damian over, explained a few words, and slightly adjusted the overall strategy.

Pogba broke through and won Manchester United a direct free kick about 26 meters away from the goal. Ibrahimovic's unreasonable and powerful free kick flew too high and failed to fall in time in order to cross the wall. Cech, who was standing in front of the goal, was too lazy to jump. , watching the football go over the crossbar.

Arsenal organized an attack in the backcourt. After multiple passes, the football came to the feet of Sanchez on the left.

Affected by the international match day, Sanchez, whose physical fitness was somewhat tight, did not have the breakthroughs of the past. When Martin was not in a good position, he chose to pass the ball to Xhaka who was receiving the ball.

Pogba, who was in the front of the Manchester United midfielder, pounced on it, and Xhaka kept passing the ball to the left back Monreal.

Pogba, who was a bit slow, had no intention of braking and directly knocked Xhaka over on the side.

Referee Marina saw Monreal controlling the ball and signaled that the offensive game would continue.

Xhaka was still holding his breath a minute ago, but he was knocked to the ground by Pogba after playing the ball, and an unknown fire suddenly burst out in his heart.

Pogba was waiting for this opportunity. He asked Xhaka who stood up: "What are you pretending to be?"

Xhaka was already angry, but when he heard Pogba's question, he went straight to it.

Captain Martin whispered "Oops" just in time to see Xhaka push Pogba with both hands, who was obviously deliberately trapping him.

Pogba was not a good person and pushed him back immediately.

"Beep beep~"

The referee Marina immediately blew the whistle and ran between Pogba and Xhaka to separate the two. Players from both sides also came to break up the fight, and the conflict between Xhaka and Pogba came to an abrupt end.

But the scene that just happened was completely seen by Marriner. Out of safeguarding the rules of football, he gave both of them 50 rebounds and a yellow card each.
