Chapter 340: A smooth and textbook counterattack, playing with pantyhose through the remote hanging door

"wuwuwuwuuuuu——"

Referee Oliver blew his whistle to indicate a foul on Diego Costa, and the home team fans at Stamford Bridge booed harshly.

It was given to Oliver who was called for a foul, and also to Martin who fell to the ground.

When Diego Costa heard the whistle, he waved his arms angrily and tried his best to defend that he had not committed a foul and that he fell to the ground entirely because of Martin's deliberate diving.

Martin was too lazy to take care of the clown-like beauty. Giroud, who had rarely won a starting opportunity, saw the opportunity to "step up" and immediately went up to challenge Diego Costa.

Diego Costa naturally would not give in, and the two of them touched their foreheads.

If Oliver hadn't intervened in time, the conflict between the two teams might have escalated.

Lux Sports commentator Zhan Jun said solemnly: "Chelsea's defensive tactics against Martin in this game are probably centered on fouls. I just don't know if any players will be sent off after the first half."

"Oliver's enforcement standards after the start were relatively loose. The Chelsea players who fouled Martin one after another were also very smart. They were all 40 meters away. Fouls that are not particularly big will not receive a yellow card."

Commentator Li Yuankui said: "Chelsea is playing at home, and Oliver has to favor some home teams to some extent, because he is worried that Martin will be injured in the continuous fouls. This... not only has a huge impact on Arsenal, but also a huge loss to world football! "

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray watched the slow-motion replay and couldn't help but frown: "Antonio Conte's foul tactics are very targeted, which is to prevent Martin from getting the ball comfortably. However, continuous fouls are against the spirit of competitive sports. Football The game should be played openly and honestly rather than by hurting the other players!"

Liverpool star Carragher, who served as a guest commentator, had a different view: "Andy, we have to know that fouls are also part of the football game..."

Martin was Wenger's favorite. When he saw targeted fouls committed by Chelsea players, he was very angry and stood on the sidelines to put pressure.

Conte seized the opportunity and mocked: "This is a battle between men! Are you afraid he will be injured? Change it quickly!"

How could Wenger endure it?
But he knew that Conte was deliberately looking for trouble in order to make himself lose control, preferably by being sent off.

Faced with Conte's provocation, he shook his index finger and sarcastically said: "If a foul can prevent us from winning, do you think it will be your turn again? What a joke!"

Conti was shocked when he heard this. Damn it, it seems like this!

The plan before the game was very thorough, and he believed that the team could defeat the invincible Arsenal at home!
In order to strengthen his belief, Conte retorted: "That's because you haven't come to Stamford Bridge yet!"

The fourth official saw the two head coaches leaving their respective technical command areas and getting closer and closer, and quickly reminded the head coach who had finished handling the matters on the field.

Oliver ran to the sidelines with a sullen face and warned Conte and Wenger who had left the command area without permission.

The two head coaches were very considerate of Oliver and returned to their command areas without saying anything.

Two minutes into the game, Martin was attacking on the right rib and knocked back the ball kicked by Bellerin. Marcos Alonso, who was assisting in defense, looked like he didn't stop the car, and his left foot swiped at Martin, who had no time to dodge. The right calf, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Although it didn't hurt any muscles or bones, it... hurt a little.

"wuuwuwuuuuu——"

The home fans at Stamford Bridge once again booed Martin.

In their opinion, there was no physical contact between the two at all, and Martin's painful collapse was entirely an act.

How could Bellerin, Giroud and Xhaka not see that Marcos Alonso kicked someone intentionally?
One by one they rushed over.

Bellerin at the front pushed Marcos Alonso with his chest, asking for an explanation.

How can Chelsea players watch Marcos Alonso being bullied by Bellerin?

Diego Costa didn't care whether he was a teammate of the national team or not, he pushed directly.

"beep beep~~"

Seeing that players from both sides were about to clash again, the referee Oliver quickly blew the whistle and ran to the scene of the incident immediately, giving a yellow card to Marcos Alonso who had committed the foul and Bellerin who had "provoked" the incident.

Later, Diego Costa was also given a verbal warning.

Marcos Alonso's defensive action immediately aroused Wenger's anger. Assistant coach Gary Williams didn't even stop him. He only heard Wenger roaring at Conte in the technical area of ​​the home team coach: "You guys are doing this." Blasphemy to football! Never win the championship, ever!!"

While roaring, Wenger was waving his hands back and forth excitedly.

The fourth official arrived in time to avoid a conflict between the coaching staff of both sides.

In order to calm down the two, Oliver also gave each a yellow card.

"Are you okay?"

Giroud pulled Martin up from the ground.

"fine."

Martin rubbed the calf of his right foot, which was still a little painful, and looked coldly at several Chelsea players who were committing fouls one after another: "You want to play like this, right? OK."

Several Chelsea players thought Martin had finally gotten the better of him and wanted to try harder when the game restarted.

I don't know...

Arsenal players had had enough of Chelsea players fouling their captain Martin. In the process of switching from attack to defense, Xhaka directly tackled Hazard who had just received the ball.

Hazard, who was tackled, rolled on the ground in pain holding his right foot, as if his leg had been broken.

Xhaka, who committed the foul, spread his hands in front of Oliver who ran over to give him a yellow card, looking very innocent.

We are all professional players. How could the Chelsea players not see that Xhaka was trying to find a place for Martin?

He wanted to cause trouble, but because Oliver's aura was too strong, he didn't dare to challenge his authority.

Immediately afterwards, Oliver called the captains of both sides together.

Martin pulled up his red jersey that was stained with grass clippings and dirt, looked at Oliver, and pointed at Gary Carrier: "You should ask him to restrain his teammates."

Oliver: "..."

Gary Cahill: “…”

Oliver, who was slightly embarrassed, coughed slightly to ease the awkward atmosphere, then looked at Gary Cahill and said solemnly: "You must understand that this is a football match. If there are similar hurtful actions again, the ones in my pants pocket The red card is not a decoration, do you understand?"

Chelsea captain Gary Cahill nodded dully.

He was a little confused.

No, wasn't Hazard the one who was shoveled just now?

Why did you warn me?

On the other end, Hazard did not have a body as strong as Martin's. He was shoveled by Xhaka and had to wait for a while with the help of the team doctor before he felt better.

Gary Cahill and Martin each found their teammates and talked about referee Oliver's attitude.

Fouls are often a tactical strategy. Except for some despicable players who aim to hurt their opponents, most of them are done in moderation. After all, they are just making a living in this profession and will not really want to destroy others.

Xhaka's intentional foul was also a side trip, rather than a more damaging scissors kick.

After talking about the attitude of referee Oliver, he reminded his teammates not to get ahead of him, and the next game will most likely return to normal.

Especially Xhaka, this brother is often easy to get into trouble. He put his arm around Xhaka's shoulders and covered his mouth to block the camera: "Brother, keep your head clear. The team cannot run without you. Don't worry about being broken through. There is N'Golo behind you. I will also take special care of your side, so just be normal when defending, is there any problem?"

"no problem."

Xhaka shoveled Hazard before to find space for Martin. Now the boss said to focus on the court first, and also mentioned that the team cannot run without him, and nodded happily.

It was just Chelsea players' continuous fouls that made Martin feel unhappy, and he... decided to do something.

※※※※※

At the 14th minute of the game, after Oliver's high-level intervention, the defensive Arsenal players restrained their movements a lot. Only the coaches of the two teams chattered in their respective command areas and cursed at each other from time to time.

Chelsea obviously considers that Arsenal's ability to switch from defense to offense is very strong, and not many people are involved in the offense, focusing on stability.

In this way, the offensive threat is greatly reduced.

Hazard is very capable of breakthroughs, but it is difficult for him to exert 100% of his strength under Kanter's strict marking.

Pedro on the right is not known for breakthroughs, and Diego Costa has little effect without the ball.

Chelsea's offense mainly relies on Hazard and the two wing-backs, taking advantage of the local numerical advantage to make decisive passes.

Diego Costa had nothing to do when he met the tall and strong Van Dijk.

He couldn't grab the position, and the pass was not very good. There was no way to directly threaten Cech to guard the goal.

After Chelsea's attack was sorted out and transitioned by Fabregas, the football returned from the right to the left at the feet of Hazard. Marcos Alonso moved forward alertly and slightly adjusted the ball after Hazard pretended to cut inside. Cross from kick.

Diego Costa and Van Dijk were entangled, but no one jumped up. Koscielny headed the ball in front of Pedro who penetrated into the penalty area.

Xhaka was right near the landing point. He first got stuck in his position, habitually looking left and right, then bent his knees and jumped up.

Matic, who was also looking up at the ball, raised his elbows. Xhaka, who had just taken off, put his shoulder on Matic's elbow and fell to the ground in pain.

"beep~"

The referee Oliver whistled for Matic to raise his elbow and press his shoulder, and awarded Arsenal a free kick at the top of the arc in the penalty area.

Matic shrugged his shoulders and looked puzzled, trying to explain.

Fabregas, Diego Costa and Pedro also believed that their partners did not foul.

Unexpectedly, Xhaka, who was lying on the ground, quickly stopped the ball with his hands and stopped it in place, forming a dead ball. The arch of his left foot quickly passed the ball to the left front.By the time Matic reacted, it was already too late. His leg-lifting interception was half a beat too late, and he could only watch helplessly as the football quickly rolled toward Martin, who was ready to catch the ball.

Whether it was Matic or Fabregas, it was too late to turn around and stare.

Chelsea's Moses, who was on the right wing with little forward penetration, rushed over. Martin, who was on the left rib, looked like he had eyes in the back of his head. He kept passing the ball directly to Giroud, who had his back to the defender in the middle. Using his right foot as the axis, his body completed the movement. The two right [-]-degree turns.

He also happened to pass by Moses perfectly, who had no time to brake, and ran forward.

Without any special signal from Martin, Giroud, who responded, did not give David Luiz a chance to foul the center forward and used the arch of his left foot to pass the football passed by Martin to the right rear of his body with his back to the direction of attack. go.

Martin, who was accelerating forward, pushed the football passed by Giroud two meters forward. Azpilicueta, the rightmost of the three central defenders, knew that Martin was very capable of breaking through and did not dare to pounce on him. He chose to retreat at high speed and wait for the support of his teammates. .

But Martin is very fast. Neither Matic nor Fabregas is fast. How can anyone catch up?
Moses, who had previously tried to overtake Martin and stopped, had just turned around and had not yet fully accelerated.

"wuwuwuuwuuuu——"

When the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge saw Martin dribbling the ball faster, they panicked and subconsciously booed hysterically.

Martin was not disturbed in any way. He also keenly noticed that Azpilicueta did not even think about fouling, so he moved the ball forward two or three meters, using the standard three steps, constantly tempting the opponent to step forward and intercept. ball or foul.

Azpilicueta has a cool head and knows that Martin is very capable of dribbling and has almost never made any mistakes. It is unrealistic to expect his teammates in the midfield and frontcourt to chase back and help defend, so he can only wait for David Luiz to help defend.

Only by defending against one can you have a sufficient sense of security.

David Luiz, who handed Giroud to Gary Cahill, approached Azpilicueta and helped defend Martin, who brought the ball to the center line at high speed.

At this moment, Martin suddenly used the outside instep of his right foot to kill the ball towards David Luiz coming from the center.

Giroud, who ran half a circle to Chelsea, knew how to cross behind David Luiz and make way for him in the middle.

Gary Cahill passively followed Giroud to recover his ribs, while David Luiz and Azpilicueta could only follow Martin's change of direction and passively twist their waists in the middle.

Martin dribbled the ball just past the center line, and suddenly used the arch of his right foot to send the ball to the attacking right rib.

The close-up shot provided by the on-site director just covered the entire midfield area. Leshi sports commentator Zhan Jun looked at the red figure appearing from the right side of the broadcast screen, and his voice rose an octave: "Gnabry!"

Marcos Alonso, who was defending the left wing of Chelsea, made a cross before he could return to defense. This meant that Gnabry, who was advancing at high speed, was unmarked.

"foul!!"

Conte, who was standing in the technical area directed by the home team coach, subconsciously roared loudly.

However, the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge was fanatical, and his roar could not reach the ears of the players who were very focused on the court.

David Luiz, who moved back to the center, could only move to the left, limiting Gnabry as much as possible while marking Martin.

He knew that Martin was the most dangerous existence.

Unexpectedly, Arsenal's quick counterattack was more decisive than he imagined.

Gnabry caught up with Martin's diagonal through ball, which was just in advance. Instead of taking the ball forward, he unexpectedly raised his right foot and passed the ball to the defense of David Luiz and Azpilicueta. middle.

Boom~
This... is the passing method that Martin specially urged before the game.

Possessing the talent [Stop Master], no matter how powerful he is, he can perfectly stop any football he touches.

David Luiz never expected Gnabry to pass the ball quickly back to Martin.

Generally, wide receivers will move the ball forward and wait until they attract enough defensive attention before passing the ball.

But Gnabry didn't play according to common sense!
Out of body's conditioned reflex, David Luiz, who was running to defend the left rib, stretched his trailing back foot backwards in an unconventional way, similar to a scorpion's tail swing.

But the ball was too fast, and the ball flew past him halfway through his movements.

The calm-minded Azpilicueta saw the football flying towards Martin quickly, and it was still a half-high ball that was difficult to stop, so his choice was to pounce on Martin.

Conte, who was very anxious on the sidelines, saw Gnabry's poor pass and his nervousness was relieved.

At the other end of the coaching bench, Wenger looked at Martin expectantly.

As the head coach who has coached Martin for more than a year, how could he not know better than others?
No matter how powerful any pass is, as long as it is within Martin's control, no matter how bad the pass is, it will become a wonderful pass!

as predicted!

It looked like a half-high ball that was difficult to stop. Martin, who was running at high speed, naturally raised his right foot and used the muscles of his inner thigh to stop the menacing football in the direction in front of him.

"Gnabry passed the ball..."

Before Lux sports commentator Zhan Jun finished his words, he saw Martin stopping the ball comfortably in front of him, and his voice went up an octave: "Beautiful! Single shot!"

"Oh My God!"

Sky commentator Andy Gray exclaimed: "Excellent super stop!"

Azpilicueta, who pounced on Martin, stretched his legs to trip him, but his movements were obviously a beat too slow and he only kicked a ball of air.

"Oh shit!"

Conte's facial expression was like a Sichuan opera face change, suddenly becoming ferocious.

Martin, whose speed was not slowing down, caught up with the football in a few strides. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Courtois was standing a little forward. He made a decisive move...

"Wowowoooooo—"

"wuwuwuuwuwuuuu——"

At the same time, the Chelsea fans who uttered exclamations immediately realized that something was wrong, and booed loudly, trying to influence Martin who was single.

Courtois, who retreated to the top of the penalty area, thought that Martin would stop Gnabry's powerful pass and decisively attack to assist in the clearance. However, seeing that Martin stopped the ball perfectly, he decided to retreat. idea.

Unexpectedly, Martin, who has a broad vision, has already thought about what to do next while chasing the football.

He raised his right foot about 40 meters away from the goal, and kicked the inside of the instep toward the middle and lower part of the football. The force of contact with the ball was relatively strong, in order to increase the flight speed of the football.

"Hanging door!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice suddenly rose twice.

Courtois's heart skipped a beat as he retreated, and his legs retreated faster, but his movement speed was slower than the speed of football.

Just after retreating to the penalty spot, the football flying over the penalty area line began to fall.

The 1.9-meter-[-]-tall Courtois was still making his final effort. He used the inertia of his retreat to jump forward, leaping high into the air, stretching his right arm as hard as he could in an attempt to lift it higher.

The upward momentum of Courtois's body ended, and he looked at the spinning football ten centimeters away from his fingertips, his eyes filled with despair...

Half a second later, the falling football rubbed the lower edge of the crossbar, passed through the radiation area of ​​​​the goal line, and hit the snow-white net.

"Goooooooooooooooooooal—"

"Wonderful long-range lob! Arsenal captain Martin scored a wonderful goal!"

"Beautiful lob! Martin once again contributed an amazing unanswered goal!"

"Goal! Goal! Goal!!!"

……

Fans in the live commentary box/remote live broadcast room subconsciously blurted out and marveled at Martin's wonderful goal.

After scoring the goal, Martin stood on the spot, facing the Matthew Harding Stand where the most aggressive shouter was, which is also the area where die-hard Blues fans gathered.

The meaning you want to express is very clear.

Can it be louder?

Martin's response was naturally even louder boos.

Feeling the enthusiasm from the home fans, he smiled happily, then turned around and hugged Gnabry, Giroud, Sanchez and other teammates who came forward to celebrate the goal.

Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger turned his head to look at the home team coach's technical area arrogantly, and glanced at Conte provocatively.

"Fake!"

Conte wanted to vent but was held back by his assistant. In the end, he could only vent the dissatisfaction sweeping through his body to the players on the court.

Putting aside Martin's wonderful goal, conceding the ball is indeed directly related to the lack of defensive concentration.

If he could catch the ball in the first place, where would Xhaka have the chance to take a quick free kick?
The Chelsea players on the field also realized that they did have problems, and naturally accepted Conte's judgment.

After all, this was a low-level mistake when switching from offense to defense.

The on-site director gave a close-up shot of Martin. According to international broadcasting practice, Martin's wonderful goal was restored.

Starting from Xhaka's quick free kick, to Martin's wonderful cooperation with Giroud without stopping the ball, from the left rib to the middle, Giroud's pulling and running, and just right distribution of the ball.

Finally, he received Gnabry's powerful pass with exquisite stoppage and play.

The entire counterattack was as smooth as a textbook.

The process is full of enjoyment, allowing every fan who watches the replay to fully experience the ultimate visual experience brought by Martin's goal.
