Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

"Goooooooooooal——"

The commentators in the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium's on-site commentary box all stretched their voices at the moment of the goal.

The Arsenal players in the stadium were ecstatic when they saw Martin's goal and ran over with passion.

Wenger, who was sitting in the visiting team's coaching bench, was intoxicated with his head in his hands, obviously surprised by Martin's goal.

Simeone, who was in charge of the technical area as the home team coach, was briefly amazed. He immediately rushed to the fourth official and complained that Martin was offside.

The fourth official has long been used to this situation. He shrugged his shoulders and explained that the assistant referee had his own judgment on whether it was offside.

The referee Cakir looked at his assistant and saw that the offside flag was not raised. He whistled and pointed his finger at the center line, which meant...the goal was valid!

Immediately, the live director restored the entire process of the wonderful goal.

At the moment when Mendy passed the ball, Martin was still outside the penalty area, a full meter away from Juanfran who was trailing behind.

In other words...not offside at all.

Martin, who scored the goal, was very calm. He still looked calm and calm, standing on the spot and hugging his teammates who came forward to celebrate the goal.

Countless fans in front of the TV watched in ecstasy as Martin's heel passed the attacking Oblak.

When the game restarted, Atletico Madrid, which was trailing by two goals, had no way out and could only step up its attack regardless of the consequences to see if it could narrow the gap and then try to equalize the score.

As for turning defeat into victory, no one at Atletico Madrid, including Simeone, dared to imagine it.

Arsenal, who were leading by two goals as a guest, knew how to give up when things were good. They held firm first, waited until the ball changed hands, and then took control of the ball. They spent the game time reasonably through back-and-forth transfers.

If given the chance, give another fatal blow to kill the game completely.

Eighty minutes into the game, the Atletico Madrid players playing at home gradually began to have inconsistent thinking in the front and backcourt as time went by.

The players in the front want to narrow the gap and equalize the score, while the players in the back just want to do not seek merit but seek no fault.

The two full-backs Felipe and Juanfran are both over 32 years old, and their physical fitness cannot compare with their peak years a few years ago.

Now it is difficult for them to get back to their position once they run up.

There's nothing shameful about losing to defending champions Arsenal by two goals.

Lack of sufficient support on the offensive end, there is no way to threaten Arsenal's defensive system, let alone Cech guarding the goal.

At the end of the game, the scoreboard still showed 0:2.

Another peak matchup at the same time came to an end at the Parc des Princes. Paris Saint-Germain, who was at home, defeated the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich 3:0 with goals from Di Maria, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.

结束全部两轮小组赛，两连胜的阿森纳积6分排名小组第一，罗马1胜1平积4分排名第2，马竞1平1负积1分排名第3，卡拉巴克两战皆负排名垫底。

After playing in the Champions League, the team's focus returned to the league.

Facing newly promoted Brighton, Arsenal, playing at home, defeated their opponent 3:0 with goals from Sanchez, Martin, and Cavani.

Time has come to October, and the first-level leagues around the world have entered a short intermission period and entered the international match day.

The international match day in October also means the final stage of the qualifying group stage of the 2018 Fighting Nations World Cup.

There are only three results.

Direct promotion, play-offs and preparation for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

At 10:7 pm local time on October 8, the two group matches of Group B started at the same time and attracted a lot of attention.

After 5 minutes of fierce battle, Switzerland defeated Hungary 2:4. Portugal, which challenged the weak team Andorra, relied on Ronaldo and Martin both scoring twice to win 0: as a guest.

结束B组全部九轮小组赛，瑞士9战全胜积27分，葡萄牙9战8胜1负积24分排名小组第2。

In the final round of Group B, Portugal faced the leader Switzerland.

Since the goal difference lead is as high as double digits, it also means that as long as Portugal wins the final home game, it can beat Switzerland and directly qualify for the World Cup in the fighting countries next year as the first place in the group.

However, at this stage of the European qualifiers, only Group B, Group D, Group E and Group I are still in suspense about promotion.

The most fierce competition is undoubtedly Group D and Group I.

After the 9 rounds of the group stage, the top three in Group D all have the hope of directly advancing. However, the leader Serbia has the best chance, leading the second place Wales by two points. In addition, in the final round, they will face Georgia, which was eliminated early, at home. As long as they do not take the initiative to die, You can advance directly.

Wales and Ireland faced each other directly in the last round. The two teams had 17 points and 16 points respectively. Considering that many second-place points in the group are 18+, it means that if you want to get the second place in the eight best groups to qualify for the play-offs, A winner must be determined.

The situation in Group I is the most complicated. In addition to Finland and Kosovo being eliminated early, Iceland with 19 points, Croatia with 17 points, Ukraine with 17 points and Turkey with 16 points all have the opportunity to directly advance. Among them, Ukraine and Croatia will also compete directly.

But if both teams want to advance directly, they have to count on an upset at home in Iceland in the last round.

……

Three days passed quickly. Portugal's final Group B match against Switzerland at home was more than an hour away from the start of the game. The Stadium of Light, which can accommodate 64000 fans, was already full.

More than an hour before the game, players from both sides came to the court to warm up.

Martin met several old acquaintances.

The first is club teammate Xhaka, followed by former Wolfsburg teammate Ricardo Rodriguez, and finally Shaqiri, who has a record of playing against each other.

Everyone respects Martin.

Xhaka also put his arm around Martin's neck and joked: "Captain, please give me some light abuse."

"Hey~ try not to make you look embarrassed, how about that?"

Martin grinned.

Xhaka shrugged and said: "As promised, don't show off your skills to me. You also know me...hehe~"

"Then you have to shovel it until I wake up."

Martin blinked.

Xhaka laughed awkwardly. There were many teammates who wanted to stop Martin with fouls at the Kearney training base, but they couldn't even touch them...

Not long after, major media reprinted the starting list for the game announced by UEFA's official website.

Both sides have fielded their strongest lineups.

Portugal has two superstars Martin and Ronaldo playing together.

In fact, before the game, a large number of media and fans believed that Switzerland would win if it lost less in the final round.

Although Switzerland ranks first in the group with a three-point advantage, everyone knows the odds are against them as a guest in the final round.

Portugal, with Cristiano Ronaldo, is already very abnormal, and now Martin is coming to help. It is completely logical to win the game.

To put it simply, the offensive system of Ronaldo + Martin is simply too luxurious.

The home team Portugal used a 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: Patricio

Defenders: Eliseu, Font, Pepe, Cedric

Midfielder: Joao Mario, Martin, William Carvalho, Bernardo Silva
