Chapter 356 Damn it, this guy has tricked me again!
  "Messi! Messi!!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei watched the live broadcast of Messi speeding up and cutting in on the right side of the attack, passing Sanchez and Kante. His voice couldn't help but become louder: "Hit..."

Seeing Messi adjusting his steps at the front of the penalty area on the right, his left foot has already been raised.

Boom~
  A long leg wrapped in red and white socks shoved out against the ground, blocking the path of Messi's football.

"Martin!!!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray blurted out.

Messi looked at the figure leaving a long mark on the ground half a meter in front of him, his pupils narrowed, and he thought to himself: Is it him?
  The football blocked by Martin was grabbed by Rakitic before Cavani, and Barcelona continued to organize the attack.

Martin held up his hands and quickly stood up from the slippery grass.

When passing by Messi, he deliberately said: "Leo, there is no progress, you are still as good at defending as before."

Messi: "..."

Damn it, this guy tricked me!

It's just that he never expected that he could be so keen on catching defensive dangers based on his positional conditions. It's so abnormal!

Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who was watching the live broadcast of the game, was amazed by Martin's timely appearance. The picture he saw before was that Martin was still about ten meters away from Messi, and he appeared in the most dangerous area in the blink of an eye.

It's just... incredible!
  He will try to bring in Messi, and he will definitely pay attention to Martin's movement, and the result will definitely be the same.

Martin's defensive sense is still as good as before!

Barcelona's attack direction moved from the right to the left. Neymar received the football and was not afraid of Bellerin, Xhaka and Gnabry's well-organized defensive positions. He accelerated forward with the football.

Xhaka and Gnabry passed easily, and Alba's forward penetration also took Bellerin's defensive attention away.

However, when Neymar cut inside to the edge of the penalty area on the left, Martin's defense was just right. He fell to the ground and tackled, intercepting the ball and intercepting him in place.

Neymar, who lost control of the football, got up and rolled in pain on the ground holding his right foot, as if his leg had been broken by a tackle.

Iniesta, the captain of Barcelona, ​​excitedly spread his hands and signaled Martin to foul.

Busquets and Rakitic in the middle, including Suarez who was competing with Van Dijk for position in the penalty area, also looked at Kuipers excitedly.

The referee Kuipers was in a good position and could see very clearly.

Martin's movements were clean and his tackling foot was always close to the ground. Neymar's fall was entirely affected by inertia.

So he immediately lowered his body and pointed at the football, indicating that Martin tackled the ball first.

At the same time, Martin, who fell to the ground and intercepted the ball, poked forward with the toe of his right foot, and the football rolled towards Bellerin.

Arsenal's quick counterattack was very fast, with three passes and two down, and the football rolled towards Martin who stood up and moved forward to participate in the attack.

Rakitic executed the tactics with high intensity and followed the tactics ordered by head coach Enrique to prevent Martin from getting the ball.

"beep~"

The whistle sounded.

But the referee Kuipers did not give a card, but gave a verbal warning.

Enrique couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw this.

Rakitic has a huge defensive responsibility in the midfield, and a premature card will definitely affect his subsequent defensive actions.

There is no card, which means there is still a chance for a tactical foul.

Martin was stopped by Rakitic and looked helplessly at the referee, obviously dissatisfied with him for not giving the opponent a yellow card.

If you can make the opponent eat cards, the next transition from defense to offense will be smoother.

Kuipers and Martin patiently explained why they were not given cards.

Martin could only shrug.

As the captain, you must put some pressure on the referee appropriately.

……

Fifteen minutes into the game, the scoreboard still showed 1:0.

The Arsenal fans in front of the TV were a little anxious.

Time passes by second by second. If the score cannot be expanded as soon as possible, it will become troublesome to score again when Barcelona becomes comfortable.

This was the case in the first leg at Camp Nou.

The defense did a good job in the first thirty minutes, but things changed after half an hour.

MSN suddenly picked up speed, and Messi and Suarez scored goals one after another.

Although Cavani narrowed the point difference at the beginning of the second half, Messi, Iniesta and Neymar each scored a goal to set the score at 5:1.

Fragments that were still fresh in my memory came to my mind.

After Barcelona passed a series of passes, Messi received the ball and cut inward continuously on the right rib of the attack. He was ready to take a long shot inside and actually sent a long diagonal pass to the left rib of the penalty area.

Van Dijk jumped high while retreating and hit the bottom of the football.

Koscielny resisted Suarez, and Cech immediately took off to pick up the ball.

Martin had long been optimistic about the situation around him. He immediately ran back and signaled Cech to throw the ball over.

Although Rakitic followed Martin closely and Busquets stared at him behind him, Cech still chose to throw the ball vigorously out of trust in Martin.

Rakitic followed closely, but considering Martin's excellent ability to escape from the spot and the distance between them, he thought of simply staying in position to cope with any changes.

Martin originally wanted to cooperate with his teammates, but he noticed from the corner of his eye that Rakitic did not follow him. He quickly changed his strategy and used his chest to stop and spin the football thrown by Cech.

Immediately afterwards, step forward with your right foot and use the instep of your outside foot to move the ball.

Rakitic, who kept his distance, instinctively tilted his body outward.

Unexpectedly, Martin raised his foot and did not touch the ball. He feinted to deceive his center of gravity.

pendulum!

As a result, Martin's feinting right foot landed on the ground to support his body. The huge explosive force and reaction force produced a positive chemical effect, and his whole body accelerated away from Rakitic's movement in the opposite direction like lightning.

The whole set of actions was done in one go, which directly caused Rakitic's CPU to smoke.

By the time he realized that he should stretch his foot to foul, the man was already rushing towards Busquets.

"aoaoaoaoaooaooo——"

Overwhelming shouts instantly swept the entire Emirates Stadium.

Busquets, who was defending late in the midfield, was panicking. His defensive characteristics are that he has very good timing of assisting defense and anticipating.

To put it simply, many defensive midfielders are good at stealing the ball from other people's feet. Busquets prefers to intercept other people's passing routes through advance judgment.

One-on-one defense is not what Busquets is good at.

But Martin was so close that he could not fail to express his presence.

As a star with considerable experience in the game, he knew that at this time, he would not hesitate to stop Martin with a yellow card.

At this moment, Martin's right shoulder sank to a great extent, and his right foot naturally stepped forward to push the rolling football forward to the right. His entire upper body was like a swinging pendulum clock.

Busquets's eyes lit up. He thought Martin was going to perform some fancy technical moves, but he didn't expect to dial the ball in advance from two or three meters away. He obviously planned to use his extraordinary speed to complete a forced breakthrough.

This... is also the favorite way for speed players to pass the ball.

happy!

In fact, it is a repeat of the same trick. The right foot does not touch the ball. When landing, it pushes hard towards the ground. It perfectly combines the huge reaction force with its own explosive power, thus playing the role of moving and changing direction faster.

"what?"

Busquets, whose height is only one centimeter to [-] meters, has a high center of gravity. When he realized that Martin still used a feint and changed direction, it was already too late.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said impassionedly: "Martin easily broke through Busquets!"

Busquets, who had no time to switch his center of gravity, could only watch helplessly as Martin accelerated from the middle and directly faced the double central defender combination of Umtiti and Pique.

Cavani's movement was very smart. From the corner of his eye, he caught Sanchez following up at high speed from the left, and then moved forward at high speed to the right, taking away Umtiti's defense and leaving the center to Martin.

Umtiti knows the danger of Martin, and the defensive choice is to form effective protection with Pique as much as possible while taking into account the forward Cavani.

However, Martin, who had already picked up speed, did not give them too many options. When Cavani pressed Umtiti across the center line, he suddenly used the outside instep of his right foot to pass the ball from between Pique and Umtiti to the front right. .

Martin has a broad vision and strong ability to seize opportunities. He keenly caught Cavani starting to accelerate. On the other hand, Umtiti was fighting and retreating. He and Pique were on the same line. The main strategy was to help defend the center and half abandon the wings. .

Faced with the pass in this situation, Umtiti obviously has no way to defend. All he can do is to run back and guard the path that Cavani must pass after he gets the ball.

It can be said that Pique, who was dragged at the end, raised his right hand to remind the linesman that Cavani was suspected of being offside.

However, the assistant referee saw it very accurately. He held the side flag tightly with his right hand and ran along the sideline towards the baseline.

Meaning, no offside!
  The on-site director gave a panoramic shot covering Barcelona's defensive half.

"Martin! Martin!!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at Martin running at high speed in the middle and couldn't help shouting: "His speed is at full speed, just like the Third Prince Nezha on Hot Wheels. As long as Cavani gets the ball, he will give it to the middle as soon as possible." , Martin can directly attack alone!"

Of course, Pique knew that Cavani was most likely not offside. He raised his hand just to confuse the linesman.

What if you take your own advice?
  He retreated at high speed, forming as effective a protection as possible with Umtiti, who was also running back, and then looked towards Martin.                                                                       This is not something that you don't know, but you will be shocked when you see it.

I saw a red figure rushing out from the right, and surpassing my position at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This……"

Enrique, who was standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, raised his eyebrows slightly. What made him feel uneasy was that Cavani, who had caught up with Martin's diagonal pass, did not lead forward as expected about 35 meters from the baseline, but directly Pass the ball down the middle.

Umtiti obviously realized in advance that the situation was not good.

When Cavani passed the ball, he threw his entire body and moved his right foot forward, intending to use the inertia to stop the football passing to the middle.

But... half a beat later, the football hit his shoe spikes first and rolled sideways towards the center.

"Cavani passed the ball! Umtiti didn't scoop the football!"

He Wei's voice couldn't help but rise an octave higher.

"Martin!!"

Sky commentator Andy Gray shouted hysterically.

"aoaoaooaooaoaoo——"

The Arsenal fans in the audience saw it very clearly, and they all stood up from their seats excitedly.

"Oops!"

As loud cheers rang out, the uneasy Enrique looked towards the middle as the football moved, and happened to see Arsenal's No. 10 player having distanced himself from Pique...

Pique also realized that the situation was not good, but he had no choice.

The lateral distance between the two was already two or three meters away, and Martin had the speed advantage, so the distance between the two became farther and farther.

What he can do is place his expectations on goalkeeper Ter Stegen.

This goalkeeper from Germany is known as the 'Little Lion King'. I believe... he can turn the tide!
  If Ter Stegen could hear what Pique was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes speechlessly.

I was Neuer's substitute in the national team, and even Neuer was scored by Martin in various scoring statistics. What role can I play?
  "Single sword!!"

The commentators from various TV stations/live broadcast studios said excitedly in unison.

Ter Stegen, who was guarding the goal, obviously learned the lessons of his predecessor Neuer who was repeatedly lobbed by Martin. He did not show his personal characteristics of being good at attacking, but stood at the front of the small penalty area.

Martin, who was at full speed, strode forward the football passed by Cavani.

In three steps, the ball was brought to the front of the penalty area in just two seconds.

Ter Stegen roared in his heart and abandoned the goal to attack.

Martin, who touched the ball again, slowed down his forward dribbling speed and adjusted his pace accordingly. Regardless of what Ter Stegen thought, he raised his right foot in an exaggerated way as he crossed the line of the penalty area and fired furiously.

Ter Stegen's pupils shrank when he hit the penalty spot. But he knew that Martin's feet were very hard. If he was kicked in the face with such a close shot, wouldn't he be shocked on the spot?
  What if you accidentally kick the heirloom?
  He lowered his body's center of gravity and opened his hands naturally, with his dominant right hand at the bottom and his left hand at the top, so that he could reach out to protect key parts at the first opportunity.

At this critical moment, Martin withdrew about 98% of his leg strength, rubbed the inside of his instep toward the bottom of the football, and applied an upward force to his toes the moment he touched the ball.

As a result, the football rose from the ground and swept upward at a relatively slow speed.

Ter Stegen is known for his quick reactions, but this time he really couldn't make a save in time when faced with such a close shot.

By the time he realized that Martin was not a burst shot but a lob shot, it was too late and he took off again. All he could do was raise his head to prevent his vision from losing sight of the flight path of the football.

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa—"

About half a second later, the Emirates Stadium was boiling.

"Goooooooooooooal—"

"Lob shot! The ball went in!!!"

"Oh My God! Excellent ejaculation succeeded!"

"Martin's lob from the penalty area completed his two goals in this game! Arsenal leads 2:0 at home and is trailing 3:5 with a total score! There are still two goals left for a super reversal!"

……

Martin did not celebrate the goal. He just waved his fist excitedly towards the excited audience, then ran to the goal, picked up the football from the net, and called on his teammates who came forward to celebrate and ran back, racing against time. .

The home team coach directed Wenger and his assistants in the technical area to high-five and celebrate excitedly. The bald assistant coach Bould excitedly faced the fans in the auditorium, waving his arms up and down like a conductor, inciting the home fans to release a more fanatical atmosphere. .

"aoaooaoaooaoooo——"

More than [-] Arsenal fans chanted hysterically.

The Barcelona stars, headed by Messi, Suarez, Neymar, and Iniesta, felt the fanatical atmosphere coming towards them. Each of them frowned, and the huge pressure swept over each player's body and mind.

The game took a two-goal lead in the 17th minute. According to this scoring efficiency, the total score could be equalized at the end of the half.

After the on-site director gave a wonderful replay of Martin's goal, he showed Barcelona star Messi for a long time. He had his hands on his hips and his eyes were confused.

So far in the game, he has not had an easy kicking opportunity.

He finally won a chance to shoot in his own 'corridor', but Martin made accurate predictions in advance and fell to the ground with a tackle to block the ball back.

As the star player, he must shoulder the heavy responsibility of scoring goals.

This year is not a competition year. If Arsenal were reversed in the Champions League, it doesn't take much to know that this year's European Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year will not happen to me.

To get the annual individual award, you must have heavyweight team honors in non-competition years.

The league is still three points behind Real Madrid, and Arsenal have won the Premier League title six games ahead of schedule.

It is equivalent to saying that Martin has a head start in terms of team honors. If the Champions League level is reversed...

Thinking of this, Messi shook his head vigorously and put the bad idea behind him.

What he has to do now is to learn from shame and then be brave, and use his super personal ability to help the team score away goals.

Once the away goal is tied, Arsenal, playing at home, must score more goals.

The game quickly restarted as the Arsenal players did not celebrate the goal but returned directly to their own half.

Trailing by two goals in less than [-] minutes, Barcelona took advantage of the kick-off to quickly organize a wave of attacks in an attempt to put the most direct pressure on Cech's goal.

The Arsenal team, which gained a two-goal lead early, was very motivated and was not weak in the face of Barcelona, ​​which strengthened its attack.

Tough frontal defense and in-place teamwork made Arsenal's offense repeatedly unsuccessful.

Enrique, who was standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, was panicking. He was obviously worried that Arsenal, who were leading two goals at home, would use this improved morale to equalize the total score.

But strengthening the offense is likely to lead to the same situation of conceding the second goal.

It is difficult to stop Arsenal's quick counterattack when switching from offense to defense.

Therefore, he took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to release tactical signals to the players on the field to stabilize the rhythm of the game.

After all, we still lead with a total score of 5:3, so there is no need to mindlessly strengthen the offense in the away game.

Although scoring away goals will increase the hope of promotion, he wants to slow down the pace and use the technical ability of the players on the field to reasonably consume the game time.

The El Clasico was played just last weekend, and the players were physically exhausted. Arsenal won the championship ahead of schedule, and there was a big rotation in the league over the weekend.

Reduce the physical energy consumption of your own players and increase the opponent's physical energy consumption by controlling the rhythm of the game.

In the next ten minutes or so, Enrique's tactics indeed worked ideally.

Half an hour into the game, the scoreboard still showed Arsenal leading 2:0.

Both Wenger and Martin realize that the game cannot be played according to Barcelona's rhythm, otherwise it will be difficult to show their own characteristics.

As a result, Arsenal compressed Barcelona's passing space by partially strengthening the pressing.

Barcelona's passing rate is very fast, and the players' foot skills are very good. However, due to the continuous pressing of Arsenal players, right back Roberto stopped the ball out of the right sideline due to nervousness, and Arsenal received a throw-in from the left side of the backcourt.

Barcelona, ​​led by Enrique, did not dare to press high, apparently because they were worried that the players who had just played El Clasico were not physically fit enough.

Arsenal was able to move the ball safely from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and Martin, who scored two goals, attracted many people's attention.

However, Martin did not rush to shoot, but looked for opportunities through patient passing.

The Barcelona team has never been very good at defending.

Many times, superior offensive abilities are used to cover up defensive deficiencies.

The offense organized by Martin and Xhaka crushed Barcelona's defense through continuous passes. Martin, who received the football again, used his superb foot skills to easily break through Rakitic and the ineffective Iniesta.

Busquets made a decisive defense, and Martin shook his ankle and handed the ball to Sanchez, who was attacking the left rib.

Pique, who stepped forward to defend, had no choice but to foul when facing former teammate Sanchez's continuous stops and cuts.

"beep~"

Kuipers blew the whistle decisively and gave Pique a yellow card for the foul.

"Pique kicked Sanchez down!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei said impassionedly: "He received a yellow card, which will definitely affect the next game, but the more important thing is to give Arsenal a direct free kick in a very good position."

The broadcast screen quickly showed Martin, who scored two dollars in this game.

Commentator Xu Yang said: "Martin is in very good condition! This position is about 26 meters away from the goal, which is completely within his shooting range! Can Martin, who has a hot foot, complete the shot at halftime?"
