Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

"Beep~"

With the whistle of Turkish referee Cakir, the first leg of the 2017-2018 Champions League quarter-finals between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain officially began.

Paris Saint-Germain, which had a kick-off advantage, did not rush to attack, but played steadily and gradually to test Arsenal's defensive concentration.

Neymar, who joined Paris last summer, has a very high sense of fear of Arsenal led by Martin.

无论是2015年欧洲超级杯，亦或者是2016-2017赛季欧冠1/4决赛次回合，都让他感到绝望。

He was absolutely unwilling to face Arsenal again in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in this campaign.

But sometimes that's the case, the draw doesn't change based on one's wishes.

But since they meet in the Champions League, it also means there is no way out.

The whole team must work hard to defeat Arsenal led by Martin.

Also fearful of Martin is Mbappe, whose memory of last season's Champions League semifinals is still fresh.

A strong feeling of powerlessness.

It is precisely for this reason that both Neymar and Mbappe want to prove themselves in the Champions League quarter-finals this season.

You must know that the combined transfer fees of the two are 4 million euros!

What did the outside world say?

Martin is more than enough for two people!

How can I bear this?

I can't bear it!

You have to show some strength.

But even though they worked very hard, ran without hesitation, and tried their best, they were unable to pose a threat to Cech's goal.

It is no exaggeration to say that it cannot even break the defense, let alone pressure.

After surviving the three blows from Paris, Arsenal, sitting at home, naturally took over the initiative.

The defensive system led by Thiago Silva and Marquinhos gradually felt the pressure from Martin.

The three midfielders composed of Lo Celso, Verratti and Rabiot have good forward pushing and creative abilities, but the defense is very weak.

It cannot be said that there is no defense, but the offensive system led by Martin can quickly advance and directly face the entire back line of defense.

Whether it's individual dribbling or team passing.

Emery, who was standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, felt tremendous pressure. He pursed his lips and stared at his own penalty area.

Obviously, he is afraid that the team's defense will suddenly lose focus and lose the ball.

Coming to the Emirates Stadium, the best result is a draw.

I just always feel that the results will not develop in the ideal direction...

Martin's attacks forward were continuous and continuous.

Gnabry and Mahrez connected with Martin's ball from the two wings, testing the defensive concentration of the two full-backs of Paris.

Especially Mahrez, his left foot skills are very good.

Cutting inside to hit the goal or cutting inside and then passing it to Alves or Martin can create very good opportunities.

What is surprising is that the little-known Areola, with help from God, successively saved the must-goal opportunities of Cavani and Martin.

Seeing Areola's super performance, Emery has some unplanned expectations for visiting the Emirates Stadium.

Win!

The defensive end did not lose the ball, and the offensive end received continuous offensive opportunities with the ball.

"aoaooaoaoooooo——"

The Paris fans who traveled with the team were very excited and shouted hysterically, cheering for the team that continued to attack.

Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria don't cooperate much, but they have strong individual combat capabilities and seek opportunities through their strong personal dribbling ability.

Lo Celso, Verratti and Rabiot all have strong forward passing abilities. As long as the front trident receives the ball, they can threaten the defensive system led by Van Dijk and Kanter.

Especially Neymar and Di Maria, two people with exceptionally good foot skills who can perform tricks in a small range.

Of course, both of them were very low-key when facing Martin's defense, and they would take the ball out decisively to avoid losing it.

Paris Saint-Germain's individual combat capabilities are very strong, but individual efforts cannot be compared with the team's.

It seems to be full of threats, but in fact there is no threat to Cech guarding the goal.

Commonly known as the thunder is louder than the raindrops.

Paris's continuous attack did not create an absolute scoring opportunity, and Arsenal, playing at home, once again took control of the attack.

After receiving the football, Martin connected the whole team through his personal understanding of the game trend, and used the strength of the team to attack Paris' defensive system that has performed well since the beginning.

Thiago Silva is already thirty-three years old, but his judgment of the ball path and replacement are very timely and accurate.

If it is an ordinary team, it is really difficult to find a way to break the game, but through a period of observation, Martin already knows how to help the team take the lead.

In the 27th minute of the game, Mahrez received a pass from Martin on the right and feinted a few shots. When Alves came in at high speed, he passed the ball violently.

Neymar never likes to return to defense. Lo Celso failed to keep up with the rhythm, and Marquinhos shouldered the heavy responsibility of covering up the defense.

Thiago Silva is keeping an eye on former teammate Cavani and he has absolute confidence.

As long as Arsenal follows its past offensive routine and finds Cavani in the penalty area, he will definitely be able to resolve the danger.

Alves, who was driving forward at high speed, glanced at the penalty area, and Thiago Silva thought that this was how he felt.

But Alves' next pass was beyond imagination. He made a pass but suddenly stopped on the spot and unexpectedly passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area and the corner of the penalty area.

Mahrez's forward thrust took away Berchiche's defensive attention. Lo Celso followed Alves. Martin, who was originally being marked by Verratti and Rabiot, suddenly accelerated and appeared in the direction of Alves' pass.

Rabiot, who was belatedly aware of the situation, stepped forward to defend but did not expect Martin to use the arch of his right foot to pass the ball to the center.

Verratti, who had just taken a step towards Martin, perfectly demonstrated his advantage in the center of gravity. He stopped and turned around, stretching out his foot to interfere with Xhaka's receiving the ball.

Martin's pass from the arch of his right foot to the top of the penalty area was close to the ground.

Xhaka did not need to adjust, and immediately used the arch of his left foot to push the ball towards Mahrez, who was diagonally inserting into the right rib of the penalty area.

Rabiot, who was originally guarding Martin, subconsciously turned around and assisted left back Berchiche in guarding Mahrez, who has a strong left foot.

He had a hunch that Mahrez would stop the ball with the outside of his left foot and then hit the goal.

In fact, Rabiot was half right.

Mahrez did handle the ball with the outside of his left foot first, but... it wasn't to stop the ball, but... to pass the ball!

Starting from Alves's diagonal pass after running at high speed, Martin, Xhaka and Mahrez all passed and received the ball with one kick, so that the Paris defensive players were like cows leading the way.

"aoaoaooaooooooo——"

When the Arsenal fans in the audience saw Mahrez passing the ball with the outside of his left foot to the forward Martin, a deafening roar sounded in the sky above the Emirates Stadium.

"Mahrez! Pass the ball! Martin!!!"
