Chapter 241 Being both a father and a mother
"Goooooooooal—"

Andy Gray's iconic elongated voice instantly resounded throughout the live commentary on Sky TV.

"This time... the ball went in! The football hit the inside of the right goal post and hit the net! Arsenal leads Liverpool 1:0 at home!"

Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai said impassionedly: "The volley after stopping the ball with his chest! Waves around the world! Martin once again gave us an absolute visual feast!"

"Oh My God!"

BBC commentator Lineker exclaimed: "The goal that should come will still come! This is a wonderful volley goal! Martin's condition is beyond imagination! Help Arsenal score in the 6th minute of the game The score is ahead!”

Martin was very excited to score. He opened his arms and ran towards the right goal post.

Waving his arms all the way, he fully incited the home fans to release more excited emotions.

Martin, who was locked in a close-up shot by the on-site director, ran to the goal post, raised his right hand and slapped it on the post, shouting something.

The commentator in the commentary box couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene.

If it weren't for the 'rebellion' of the home goal post, Martin, who was in excellent form in this game, would have helped the home team open the scoring.

Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger raised his arms and shouted, venting the joy brought by the goal.

Liverpool coach Klopp stood in the visiting team's coaching area with his hands on his hips and a look of helplessness on his face.

I thought that Martin's continuous head kicks and kicks were rejected by the home goal post, which was a sign of our own goal. Unexpectedly... it turned out to be a test for Martin.

special!
The Arsenal players on the field celebrated the goal excitedly. The Liverpool players inside and outside the penalty area looked at me and I looked at you. Each could see a trace of unspeakable depression in each other's eyes.

Captain Henderson was the fastest to recover. He encouraged his teammates who were shaking their heads and sighing: "The game has only started for less than 10 minutes. There is plenty of time left for us to equalize or even take the lead. There is no need to concede the goal that has become a fact." Release the negative emotions, what we have to do is accept the reality and complete the tactics formulated before the game! Defeat Arsenal away from home."

Klopp is a head coach who is very good at inciting the emotions of his players. After nearly three months of running-in, the players have been influenced by Klopp and soon recovered under the positive energy of Henderson and are optimistic about future games. Be confident.

The on-site director gave a close-up picture of Martin, in accordance with international practice, to restore the entire process of the wonderful goal.

Through slow-motion replays, fans watching the live game can clearly see Martin's movement, judgment, selection, decisiveness and outstanding ability to seize opportunities.

Originally he was retreating from the Liverpool penalty area, but in the process he still consciously turned his head and looked towards the goal.

Perhaps he happened to see Mignolet's boxing ball in his coverage area, so he decisively turned around to meet the ball and stopped the ball in the direction of travel with his chest. This choice just avoided Lallana's forward defense.

The connected right-footed volley was of very high quality. It bypassed Mignolet's hand, who subconsciously made a sideways dive to reach for the ball, and hit the inner edge of the right post of the goal before bouncing into the net.

"This wonderful goal is comparable to the turning volley James Rodriguez scored against Uruguay in the World Cup in Brazil!"

James Sports commentator Zhan Jun said passionately: "The difference is that Martin's volley is more difficult because Martin's chest stopped the ball in one go, as if he had made enough and accurate judgments in advance. The volley from the instep is perfect in terms of power and angle!"

The Dragon Kingdom fans in front of the TV were mesmerized by the show. Even though it was already four o'clock in the morning, Dragon Kingdom time, they were still so excited that they vented their passion.

beautiful!

Not long after, the game restarted.

Liverpool, who were lagging behind, seemed not to be affected by the goal loss and still played according to the game tactics formulated by head coach Klopp before the game.

The Three Red Arrows are not yet in the stage of combination, and Firmino's role is still relatively subtle, so it is difficult to have a miraculous effect on the offensive end with his retracement.

Neither Coutinho nor Lallana are speed players in the absolute sense. They are both known for creating threats with the ball.

However, Coutinho has a richer arsenal of weapons than Lallana. With a cloud-piercing arrow, he will kick out exquisite world waves from time to time.

Arsenal, who were leading the score, were not in a hurry to regain the ball and focused on defense, waiting for opportunities to counterattack.

Compared with Liverpool's lack of speed in the midfield and frontcourt, Arsenal's Theo Walcott and Campbell are still very fast and can put huge pressure on their opponents when switching from defense to offense.

Therefore, both sides focused on defense first, and then waited for opportunities to invest offensive forces.

The midfield battle is also where the competition between the two sides becomes fiercest.

As time goes by, one or two situations of people falling on their backs occur from time to time.

The referee Anthony Taylor gradually realized that too loose a penalty might cause the game to get out of control, so he consciously blew the whistle tighter.

Both players were experienced and immediately sensed Anthony Taylor's intentions.

The movements were slightly restrained, but the competition was still fierce.

Time often passes very quickly in high-level competitions, and in the blink of an eye it’s three and ten minutes into the first half.

The score shown on the scoreboard has not changed. The home team Arsenal is still leading Liverpool 1:0.

However, the shooting data of the two sides are almost the same, 8:6, and the target range ratio is 3:1.

Wenger's team relies on Martin's creativity and organizational ability to put continuous pressure on Mignolet's goal. Klopp's team is not at the mercy of others. When switching from defense to offense, they can rely on advancing layer by layer. Burn the flames to Arsenal's defensive half.

The center is an important defensive area for Arsenal. Klopp knows this very well, so the attack is a feint in the center and ribs. In fact, it attracts Martin and then quickly moves to create murderous opportunities from the two wings.

Considering that Firmino is not a traditional No. [-] player, his crosses from the side to the center are mainly low balls and inverted triangles.

Regarding these two offensive routines, Wenger had already taken precautions before the game and explained the corresponding response methods to the players.

Therefore, although Liverpool shot as many as six times, only one shot hit the goal range.

Arsenal did not make too much concessions. The shots that really threatened Mignolet's goal came from Martin.

Klopp made very quick adjustments to take advantage of the dead ball opportunity, requiring players to take extra care of Martin in defense in the core area.

With Martin being closely guarded, Arsenal's offensive threat dropped significantly.

Taking advantage of the fact that the game was not particularly exciting, Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai gave key comments: "Arsenal's offense is so dependent on Martin. The offensive organization is like this, and the final shot is also like this. It is really hard to imagine that Arsenal lacks Martin. What will become."

"Martin can rank first in the scorer list, which must be because the Arsenal striker's shooting aim is poor, which leads to Martin being forced to complete more shots."

Zhang Hehe said solemnly: "It is said that Arsenal is already buying Vardy, who is second on the scorer list, with a price of 500 million pounds. If we can buy a striker with stable goals in this winter window, Arsenal's results will be even greater." Stability, after all, it is unrealistic to rely on a midfielder to score one goal after another.”

"Indeed, if you want to achieve breakthroughs in other competitions, it is very necessary to have a forward who can score goals steadily."

Jin shouted to Kailang.

Football came to Martin's feet again. He scored a wonderful goal in this game. He was in very good condition and made outstanding contributions on both offense and defense. Therefore, he attracted the attention of many Liverpool players as soon as he received the football.

"Martin!"

"Martin!!"

"Martin!!!"

The overwhelming shouts instantly resounded throughout the Emirates Stadium.

Facing Firmino and Coutinho who were attacking, Martin first used his upper body to feint, smashed the ball with his left and right feet continuously to complete the fried balls, and then suddenly accelerated and passed between the two.

Neither Firmino nor Coutinho are professional defensive players, and it was too late when they realized they should have fouled.Emre Can did not dare to step forward to put pressure. He chose to fight and retreat to avoid being easily broken through by Martin.

According to head coach Klopp's detailed research before the game, it is already known that Martin's dribbling ability has been significantly improved. It is very difficult for one-on-one defense to steal the ball, and there is a risk of being passed.

Considering the possibility of exposure problems in the defense line, we chose to be conservative.

Klopp, who was standing in the visiting team coach's command area, couldn't help but nodded and approved of Emre Can's approach.

Calabash's save-grandpa defense is simply a disaster.

At the same time, Martin's excellent vision captured something, and he directly sent a long diagonal pass to the left from the right rib of the attack.

Campbell ran inside and took away Klein's defense. Gibbs, who was advancing at high speed, stopped Martin's long pass in the direction of travel.

While adjusting his step point, he looked up towards the penalty area. Before Henderson could catch up, he made a cross with his left foot from about five meters away from the baseline.

Giroud, Kolo Toure and Lovren in the middle of the penalty area took off at the same time, but no one hit the football due to mutual interference.

The football leaked backwards, and goalkeeper Mignolet turned his head to look to the left as the football flew.

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.

Walcott didn't know when he ran in front of Moreno, ran to the right corner of the small penalty area, and raised his right foot to meet the football.

Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium stood up one after another, and Liverpool fans who traveled with the team had their hearts in their throats.

The next second, Walcott, who was running, completed an impressive volley.

boom
A crisp muffled sound emerged spontaneously.

Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet was extremely nervous, but he was focused and still wanted to make a save that could turn the tide!
But at this moment, he saw the football kicked out by Walcott far above the crossbar and flying towards the second-floor stands...

"Wowowoooooo—"

The Arsenal fans in the audience subconsciously let out a burst of depressed surprise.

This... can also launch anti-aircraft guns?
special!
After finishing the shot, Walcott knelt on the ground, holding his head in his hands, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Wenger, who was in the home team coach's command area, had his mouth half open and didn't react for a long time.

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray in the live commentary box was stunned for a few tenths of a second before shouting: "Theo Walcott wasted a great opportunity! He sent Kieran Gibbs' exquisite pass in front of the goal. The kick hit the second-floor stands! What a pity!"

Liverpool head coach Jurgen Kloppton suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. If he falls behind by two goals at this juncture, the game at the Emirates Stadium will really be out of the question, and... he may miss the first championship in his career as manager of Liverpool.

Although the EFL Cup championship won't bring much publicity, it is ultimately a team honor that can bring huge confidence to the whole team.

The on-site director gave Martin a close-up of Martin's face in a meaningful way.

"I think the purpose of the shot given by the director was to tell us that if the ball was completed by Martin, the scoreboard would have changed from 1:0 to 2:0."

Lux Sports commentator Zhan Jun said with a smile: "Martin ranks as the top scorer in the Premier League this season, but his number of shots is the least among the top ten players, which means that the shot conversion rate is extremely high. In this kind of shot that escapes the defensive player , it was completely equivalent to an empty goal, Walcott wasted a great opportunity, and I don’t know whether Arsenal will be punished in the next game.”

Arsenal fans who watched the live broadcast of the game were uneasy and believed that Zhanjun's statement had some truth.

Mignolet took a short goal kick from the backcourt and moved the football into Arsenal's defensive half through continuous forward passes.

Continuous defense brings a certain amount of pressure to the whole team.

Proper organization of offense can not only relieve one's own pressure but also create opportunities to equalize the score.

Liverpool's offense is still a combination of side and center, to be precise, it is playing Martin's weak defensive side.

First pass the ball to Martin's coverage area, and then use Henderson's precise transfer to send the ball to the other side of the offense.

It was effective at first, but as time went by, Arsenal's defensive system gradually adapted to Liverpool's offensive routine.

The combination of side and center tactics will ultimately require the ball to be passed to the center, and the frontcourt player will complete the final shot.

When Martin leaves his defensive zone, he will choose to recover according to Liverpool's specific offensive.

It is precisely for this reason that Martin appears on camera more and more often.

With his keen judgment and good defense, he repeatedly cleared Liverpool's crosses from both wings and became the busiest player in the game.

Wenger couldn't sit still. He came from the coaching bench to the command area and took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to send a signal to the players on the court.

The formation must be pressed out, otherwise continuous defense is likely to result in conceding the ball.

If Martin hadn't been in particularly good condition, Ospina might have lost the goal.

Klopp, who always stood in the visiting team coach's command area, consciously incited the emotions of the players on the field, allowing them to continue to apply pressure for the remainder of the first half and strive for an equalizer.

If conditions permit, it is absolutely possible to score two goals in a row to overtake the score!

The on-site director showed the camera to Martin, who was just encouraging his teammates. Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkailang said: "Martin's performance is really outstanding. On the offensive end, he can destroy the city, and on the defensive end, he can appear in key positions many times. , trying to keep the goal in check, a typical example of being both a father and a mother!"

"If Arsenal wants to remain competitive enough in all competitions this season, they must add an efficient shooter in the winter window."

Guest commentator Zhang Hehe said solemnly.

on the field.

Wenger, who was standing on the sidelines, felt a lot of pressure and frowned.

Liverpool was clearly gaining momentum and obviously didn't know whether their lead could be maintained until the end of the first half.

Before the football was given to Martin's feet, Liverpool players intercepted the ball through high defense.

Martin, who was ready to respond, had no choice but to spread his hands and quickly return to defense.

And his route is based on the shortcomings of the defensive system.

Liverpool's passing speed is very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the ball is sent to the weak side of Arsenal's defense through three passes and two downturns.

Firmino, who received the ball, attracted Arsenal's double central defenders, and then passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

While running at high speed, Lallana faked a shot and actually dunked past Gibbs. Faced with the attacking Ospina, he repeated his trick. After the fake shot, he used the outside instep of his right foot to move the ball to the right.

In an instant, Arsenal fans throughout the Emirates Stadium panicked.

Lallana, who caught up with the football, did not make any adjustments, and directly raised his right foot to push and shoot.

The live broadcast director's lens could just see the entire goal. Sky TV commentator Andy Gray looked at the red voice that appeared from the lower left corner of the broadcast screen. The voice suddenly rose an octave: "Martin——"

The panicked Arsenal fans saw Martin returning to the door at high speed, and their worries disappeared instantly.

Martin, who returned to the goal at high speed, swung his left foot and kicked the football far away from the goal line...
