Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Arsenal broke the deadlock in the 30th minute. Martin, who scored, attracted worldwide attention and was showered with praise.

On the social platform level, Arsenal fans and Martin fans poured out various compliments one after another.

The game at the new Wembley Stadium has restarted. Manchester City, who were lagging behind, felt like they had lost some confidence. They were not as aggressive as they were in the first half hour and began to play steadily and step by step.

Obviously, they were afraid of Arsenal's most terrifying quick counterattack after taking the lead.

With the addition of Aubameyang, Arsenal's quick counterattack has added another level.

Absolute speed!

Martin's passing + Aubameyang's speed are so far unsolvable.

Manchester City, who couldn't find any way on the offensive end, could only slowly move forward to organize the attack. Arsenal, who had shrunk their defense, played with ease and did not expose Manchester City to a decent chance at all.

Until the end of the first half, the scoreboard showed Manchester City trailing Arsenal 0:1.

The broadcast screen showed Martin, who performed very well in the first half, and soon showed the Manchester City players who played very depressed in the first half.

Their expressions are also a microcosm of the scene.

Weakness, melancholy and depression.

The Manchester City players who returned to the locker room also looked like they were losing, with frustration written on everyone's face.

Head coach Guardiola doesn’t even know where to start.

Let's fan the flames, I've said it since the first game against Arsenal when I took office in the summer of 16.

Change the soup without changing the medicine!

It doesn’t make sense even if I think about it.

After careful consideration, Guardiola decided to directly adjust his tactics.

With so many bells and whistles, it’s better to just get started.

The locker room at the other end.

Arsenal players are full of excitement and full of confidence in the second half of the game.

Especially Aubameyang, who has just joined Arsenal, is very motivated and obviously wants to destroy the team in the upcoming second half.

The adjustments in the second half were also very much to his liking.

There is no need to be overly involved in defense and focus all your energy on counterattack.

He has not been with the team for long, but he seems to have a natural understanding with Martin.

Since participating in team training, no matter how he runs, Martin can put the ball at his feet, and it is the most comfortable kind.

Coupled with its own speed, it is a super invincible counterattack!

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the court to prepare for the second half.

There is a clear difference in the emotions of the coaches of the two teams. Arsenal coach Wenger is smiling, while Manchester City coach Guardiola is frowning.

One is relaxed, the other is melancholy.

The fans on both sides of the auditorium also had completely opposite moods at this time.

Arsenal fans are looking forward to expanding the score in the next game, while Manchester City fans are worried about not being able to score in the second half that is about to begin, and are even worried about whether they will continue to concede goals.

In the past three seasons, I have become accustomed to losing against Arsenal.

Before the start of the second half of the game, the on-site director gave Martin a close-up of his face in a meaningful way.

Later, it was given to Manchester City star De Bruyne.

The conversation between the two on Instagram last night is still fresh in the minds of fans.

Martin scored, but De Bruyne didn't gain anything, and he didn't even create a threatening offense.

Since joining Arsenal and Manchester City respectively, De Bruyne has always been suppressed by Martin in terms of performance, and there is a huge gap between them when they play against each other.

De Bruyne can’t figure it out, and fans who have become De Bruyne fans early can’t figure it out either.

Martin back then was nothing more than a full-back with fast speed and accurate crosses.

Unexpectedly... the performance is getting better and better.

As of now, not even Melo can be invincible.

※※※※※

"Beep~"

Anthony Taylor blew his whistle to signal the start of the second half.

Manchester City, who were lagging behind, still followed the rhythm of the first half and tried to threaten Ospina to guard the goal.

It's just that Arsenal's defensive system does a good job on the defensive end.

Martin is very active in his position and will assist Xhaka and Kanter in defense through active running when the team is defending.

As a result, Manchester City's offense was not smooth.

De Bruyne played particularly depressed and felt that he was not as comfortable playing as other teams.

Not only do they have to prevent Martin from suddenly attacking, but they also have to battle wits with Arsenal's defensive players in the midfield and backfield, led by Kanter.

Tired.

This is De Bruyne's most direct feeling at the moment.

Of course, he also knows that's how the game of football is.

Either limit others, or be restricted by others.

Nothing can be done.

He does not deny that the current Martin is a big mountain in front of him, but...as long as he has the courage to cross it, then...it will be a sea of ​​stars other than mine!

"aoaoaooaooooo——"

The atmosphere at the new Wembley Stadium remains feverish, with overwhelming cheers coming one after another.

The attacks organized by De Bruyne and David Silva did not actually threaten Ospina's goalkeeping. They were still enjoyable to watch and were on par with the attacks organized by Martin.

Both neutral fans and Arsenal fans were very comfortable watching it, but only Manchester City fans felt a little nervous.

I was used to losing in the past, and I fell behind again. I couldn't even see the hope of equalizing, let alone turning defeat into victory.

Arsenal, who were ahead by the score, played in no hurry and played steadily.

Time passed quickly, second by second, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the sixty-minute mark of the game.

"There's still half an hour left for Manchester City."

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun said loudly.

When the existing players failed to create decent opportunities, Manchester City took the lead in making personnel adjustments.

Sterling replaced captain David Silva and Jesus replaced Aguero.

Arsenal only made personnel adjustments in the 65th minute.

Gnabry replaces Ronaldo.

Both sides made corresponding substitutions. The substitutes needed time to adapt to the rhythm of the game again, and the starting players also had to play steadily.

Football is a team sport. If the substitute players are not improved or if the substitute players make mistakes, it will very likely bring huge risks of conceding the ball.

While it comes with risks, there is also the possibility of great gains.

The players on the field are used to the rhythm of being replaced. Suddenly another player is replaced, and it takes time to adapt to the feeling.

It is during this time difference that goals are most likely to occur.

Changing people is like changing knives, that's what it means.

David Silva belongs to the attacking midfielder type, and Sterling is a speed assault type.

Jesus cannot beat Aguero in terms of shooting ability, but his running coverage and defensive enthusiasm are better than Aguero.
