Chapter 361 Supernova Mbappe VS Super Giant Martin

"Goooooooooooooooooooal—"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray subconsciously lengthened his voice.

Martin was extremely excited after scoring. He opened his arms and ran all the way to the broadcast camera. He spread the five fingers of his left hand and raised one finger on his right hand.

What I want to express is already very obvious.

51st goal of the season!

Surpass Messi and exclusively own the single-season scoring record in the five major leagues!

Messi and Ronaldo, who were watching the live broadcast of the game, sighed at the same time in their respective homes, and then blurted out almost at the same time: What a monster!

Tottenham fans at White Hart Lane are miserable.

Losing is actually not terrible. What is terrible is losing to a century-old enemy.

But while losing to a centuries-old enemy, what is painful is that the enemy also set two records at their home court that will shock the past and have a high probability of being unprecedented.

This is hard.

Many Tottenham fans chose to leave the game early, out of sight but out of mind.

The Arsenal fans who were "traveling with the team" were particularly excited and kept shouting for Martin who was wearing a hat.

Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim, who was sitting in one of the auditoriums, frowned and looked at the Arsenal captain. He knew that it was almost impossible to at least equal the Champions League runner-up created by Deschamps in the 2003-2004 season. Gone.

Martin is so good that under his leadership, other substitute players can perform in excellent competitive condition.

Confusion quickly swept through Jardim's body.

The commentators in the on-site commentary box gave all the words of praise that could be said to Martin, who once again set two proud records.

"Oh My God! Absolutely inhuman record! It's incredible! The league has only reached the 35th round. There are still three league games and one make-up game left for Martin. How many records can he finally set?"

BBC sports commentator Lineker commented passionately: "Incredible achievement! Unbelievable!"

"What is a superstar? This... is a superstar!"

Michael Owen, who served as the commentator, said intoxicatingly: "Tottenham Hotspur's defense against Martin has actually been very successful. It almost gave no chance in sports battles, but Martin relied on his elusive movement and 100% penalty kick. He completed a hat-trick with a free kick with a high scoring rate and a high scoring rate. It’s really hard to imagine that there are players on this planet who are the best on both offense and defense!”

Arsenal fans around the world are quite crazy. The team won the championship early, defended the League Cup, reached the FA Cup final, and also advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

如今全队在联赛已经打进111个进球,距离穆里尼奥在2011-2012赛季创造的单赛季进球纪录121球只剩10球!

There are four league games left and this game is not over yet.

The probability is still very high.

Tottenham, who were three goals behind at home, had no choice but to try to strengthen their offense in the restarted game to save face.

The result is naturally very unpleasant.

In the 72nd and 82nd minutes, Cavani and Sanchez scored a goal respectively, setting the final score at 0:5.

The home team goes first and the away team goes last.

After the game, Martin became the subject of interviews with reporters in the mixed zone.

I was in a very good mood after setting two records at the home court of my arch-rival Tottenham.

The content of the interview was in accordance with past practices. As long as personal privacy and team tactics were not involved, he was quite cooperative.

Reporters from European mainstream media have interviewed Martin many times and know that he has a one-size-fits-all character and is very restrained when it comes to issues.

……

No one thought that Arsenal, who needed to be distracted from the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, would beat Tottenham 5-0 away from home.

Martin, who set a single-season scoring record and a hat-trick record with a hat-trick, has undoubtedly once again become the focus of major media attention.

The performance of the England national team in world football is not very good, but the football media in this country is extremely developed.

The North London Derby is one of the most famous derbies in the Premier League. Arsenal beat their rivals with five goals as a guest. Naturally, some crazy reporting operations were indispensable for the sake of traffic.

This day has also become a disaster day for Tottenham players and fans.

In order to keep out of sight, a large number of Tottenham fans chose to stay off the Internet for two days, until the heat was replaced by the European semi-finals that kicked off midweek.

Tuesday and Wednesday are the first legs of the Champions League semi-finals, and Thursday are the two matches of the Europa League semi-finals.

After playing the North London Derby, Arsenal's preparation focus returned to the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, visiting the Louis II Stadium to challenge Ligue 1 leader Monaco.

This is a football club located in the Principality of Monaco in the south of France on the Mediterranean Sea. It was established in 1919, but it did not become professional until 1948 and has been participating in the Ligue since then.

Although Monaco participates in Ligue 1 as a foreign team, it has become one of the most successful teams in France.

Has won seven league championships and five French Cup championships.

The last time they won the French Ligue 1999 championship was back in the 2000- season, but this season they are likely to regain the league title after years.

2016-2017赛季法甲结束35轮,摩纳哥27胜5平3负积86分,领先25胜5平5负积80分的巴黎圣日耳曼6分。

The goal difference lead is as high as 28, which also means that the league championship is almost guaranteed with three rounds left in the league!

The best result in the European competition was undoubtedly the 2003-2004 season.

Deschamps, the current head coach of the French national team, almost lost all that season that season, but unfortunately lost to Porto coached by Mourinho.

Before Deschamps led Monaco to the Champions League runner-up, the best result in the European war was the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup runner-up led by current Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger in the 1991-1992 season.

Monaco has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League again after 13 years. The whole team wants to go one step further and at least equal the record in the history of the Champions League set in the 2003-2004 season.

Coincidentally, the teams encountered in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the 2003-2004 season were also from the Premier League, and they were all London teams.

那时候的摩纳哥在主场3:1击败拉涅利执教的切尔西,次回合做客2:2战平,以总比分5:3晋级最终的决赛。

In addition, Monaco and Arsenal met in the 2014/2015 finals of the Champions League in the 1-8 season.

They won the first leg 3:1 as a guest and lost 0:2 at home in the second leg, but they advanced to the quarterfinals by relying on more away goals.

This head-to-head record also brings some confidence to Monaco fans, making them believe that the home team can eliminate Arsenal in the Champions League semi-finals and advance to this season's Champions League final!

……

The vast majority of media and fans around the world believe that Arsenal's draw with Monaco means they will be sent to the final. Coach Jardim and the players are full of confidence and are confident in the future two-leg semi-finals.

Mbappe was born out of nowhere with high morale. He was known as the second Martin when he was at the peak of his career.

But who in this world is willing to be the second person?

In particular, Mbappe is gifted and has absolute confidence to compete for the European Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year, which symbolize the highest personal honors in world football.

In his view, making a name for himself starts with defeating Arsenal.

There are still many media in France who are optimistic about Monaco defeating visiting Arsenal in the first round.

The reason is simple, this group of Monaco players are very capable.

Goalkeeper Subasic is the Croatian national goalkeeper, defender Sidibe is the French international, and the midfielder and frontcourt are even more luxurious.

Bernardo Silva, Moutinho Portugal international, Fabinho Brazil international, Falcao Colombia captain, Lemar and Mbappe are the new French internationals.

In particular, supernova Mbappe is considered by many media to have booked this year's European Golden Boy Award in advance.

The first leg of Arsenal's Champions League semi-final against Monaco was played on Wednesday night. The whole team took a flight to Nice on Tuesday morning, and then took a bus brought in advance by a dedicated driver from the logistics department to the hotel to prepare for tomorrow night's Champions League game. Semifinals.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Arsenal team took the bus to the Louis II Stadium to play.

Head coach Wenger took captain Martin to attend the regular pre-match press conference.

This is not the first time Wenger has returned to his hometown as the head coach of the away team. Two years later, they had two encounters in the 2014/2015 finals of the Champions League in the 1-8 season. However, the results that season were not good, with few away goals. And was eliminated.

But this time when they came to the Louis II Stadium, Arsenal was already equipped with Martin.

At the regular press conference before the game, Wenger first expressed his full respect for Monaco, which he had previously coached, and then claimed that he would do his best to give back to the team at the Louis II Stadium in the best condition.

Suddenly, the media from the Principality of Monaco were speechless.

If that's the case, don't respect it.

Martin has scored 13 goals in the Champions League this season, which is the same as Ronaldo. There is a certain possibility of hitting the 2013-goal record set by Ronaldo in the 2014-17 season. When interviewed by the media, he showed enough confidence.

Monaco head coach Jardim attended a regular pre-match press conference later, and co-presented was captain Falcao.

The two are as confident as ever and believe that the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals at home tomorrow night will definitely not disappoint the home fans.

At 8:45 pm that day, the first leg of the first Champions League semi-final kicked off at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Media all over the world thought that this game would be very close, but the result was that Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 3:0.

Ronaldo, Benzema and Ramos each scored one goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored in this game, raised his number of goals in the Champions League in a single season to 14, leading the Champions League scorer list with a one-goal advantage.

Martin, who was paying attention to Ronaldo's performance, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Tsk, tsk, why did you only score one goal?"

※※※※※

European local time on Wednesday.

eight pm.

Louis II Stadium.

Players from both sides of the game warmed up on the court and each fielded their strongest lineup.

The home team Monaco still uses their usual 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: Subasic

Defenders: Mendy, Germersson, Glick, Sidibe

Midfielder: Lemar, Bakayoko, Fabinho, Bernardo Silva

Forwards: Falcao, Mbappe

……

Arsenal continues to use the 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Defenders: Monreal, Van Dijk, Koscielny, Bellerin

Midfielder: Xhaka, Kante    Midfielder: Sanchez, Martin, Gnabry

Forward: Cavani

……

The Monaco players warming up on the court couldn't help but look at the Arsenal players at the other end.

To be precise, it was their captain Martin.

The excellent form shown made every Monaco player feel a little heavy.

Mbappe, who was chasing Martin as his target, quickly calmed down and focused on warming up with the ball.

Falcao put his arm around Mbappe's shoulders: "Killian, your potential is higher than Martin, and your future achievements will definitely be even greater."

"Captain, really?"

Mbappe looked over with doubtful eyes, but his heart was full of expectations.

"of course."

Falcao nodded lightly without blushing.

If you really tell the truth, it will definitely hurt your little comrade Mbappe, so as the captain, he told a white lie.

What Falcao didn't expect was that it was from his recognition that Mbappe would show higher potential in the future.

Closer to home.

8:45 p.m.

"beep~"

As the Spanish referee Laos blew the whistle, Falcao from the kick-off point in the center circle kicked the ball towards Mbappe.

"Dragon Kingdom TV, Dragon Kingdom TV, what we are broadcasting for you now is the live broadcast of the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals between Monaco and Arsenal in the 2016-2017 season. The one wearing the red and white jersey is the home team Monaco. They broadcast the picture from Attacking from the right to the left, the visiting team Arsenal is wearing a gold jersey and blue-gray shorts..."

Central 5 commentator He Wei blurted out.

Monaco, playing at home, played very proactively, using their technical advantages on the wing to create opportunities.

Falcao's ability to grab points and seize opportunities this season has shown that people can see the 'Tiger' in his peak period.

too strong.

Although he is not tall, his judgment of the landing point is very accurate and he has a strong ability to seize opportunities.

Of course, Monaco did not attack unscrupulously, but used orderly arrangements to involve Arsenal's overall defense.

The main offensive force also deliberately bypassed Arsenal's tough central defense and focused on the wings.

In the 4th minute of the game, Mbappe stopped and passed Kante and decisively passed the ball to the right.

Bernardo Silva got the ball on the right side of the attack and made a slight adjustment, then raised his left foot and sent a curved pass.

The football flying towards the center of the penalty area bypassed Koscielny at the front point. Falcao, who was originally blocked by Van Dijk, did not know when he ran to the penalty spot in front of him.

Van Dijk reacted very quickly and used Falcao's body to block the jersey with his right hand.

Falcao has rich experience in the game. He pushed hard with his left foot, moved his right foot forward, and with the outside instep, he lifted the football that happened to miss Koscielny's head to the right rear.

Mbappe, who has high hopes from Monaco fans and French fans, appeared in a key position. He swung his right foot to meet the ball, tilted his center of gravity severely to the left, and kicked the ball forward with the instep of his right foot, which had dropped to the height of an ordinary person's knee. Toward the goal.

Cech had no time to react to such a close shot.

All he could do was turn his head and look away, not to lose sight of the football flying toward the goal...

"aoaoaooaooooo—"

In an instant, the Stade Louis II was filled with deafening shouts from Monaco fans subconsciously.

"Kylian Mbappe!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray shouted: "Kylian Mbappe, who was born in Monaco's youth training, received the ball from captain Radamel Falcao in the fourth minute of the game and completed a sideways semi-volley to break the net! Help the home team lead defending champion Arsenal 1:0!"

Mbappe, who scored the goal, looked at Martin consciously, but... the opponent didn't look at this at all...

But he is not angry either, after all... the current Arsenal captain can be said to be a superstar.

And I am just a fledgling star.

The Arsenal players on the court were a little stunned, obviously not expecting Monaco's goal to come so quickly.

Wenger, the coach of the away team directing the technical area, frowned. The first leg of the away game, which he thought was a sure win, actually fell behind...

But then he thought about it, it might as well be after the fall, lest these players on the field think that they can easily advance to the Champions League final.

After all, with Martin on hand to hold the line, there was no panic at all.

……

Monaco scored the first goal at home, and the whole team had greater confidence in eliminating Arsenal.

Defending champion, that's all~

The on-site director gave Martin a close-up shot of his face before the game restarted.

What I want to express is very obvious.

A goal was scored in this game, which meant that the balance was broken.

The restarted game was not very open. Xhaka was responsible for the offensive organization, Kanter was responsible for transition and protecting the ball. Martin used his abundant physical energy to run back and forth to connect the team and integrate the team into a whole.

Arsenal's ability to show such outstanding dominance this season is directly related to Martin's ability to do this job to the extreme.

Jardim made targeted arrangements for Martin before the game. By shrinking the formation, he tightly connected the three lines.

In order to put enough pressure on Arsenal during the counterattack from defense to attack, Mbappe is positioned further forward when defending and is also freer.

Regarding the use of Mbappe in the early stage, Jardim has a lot of experience.

Martin is indeed closely guarded by Fabinho, but this Brazilian midfielder who is both offensive and defensive is not good enough in physical confrontation, and there is often nothing he can do when Martin uses his physical strength.

Fortunately, Jardim's defensive tactics were in place and did not pose a threat to Subasic's goalkeeping.

Monaco's well-placed defense also gave Martin greater desire to conquer.

In the 14th minute of the game, Martin used a 'fried meatball' in the middle to complete a continuous stop and pass. He shook off Fabinho's defense. Facing Bakayoko's defense, he directly used the inside of the instep of his right foot to smash the ball towards the goalkeeper. Left front.

Bakayoko's body center of gravity quickly tilted to the right. Center defender Glick was as quick as the previous successful defense. Together with Fabinho who was passed, it was equivalent to Martin encountering a three-man defense.

Ordinary players will definitely give up control of the football, and those with higher skills can barely make a foul, but Martin, who learned his lesson, used his fast pace to push the ball forward with the tip of his right foot, and the football rolled against the ground towards the penalty area. Cavani with his back to the goal.

Immediately, he braked suddenly on the spot, making full use of the balance attribute of the Gundam [98] to stabilize his body. He pushed hard with his left foot, and the huge reaction completed the rapid rotation of the body's center of gravity.

Bakayoko realized belatedly and had no time to brake. He could only watch helplessly as Martin accelerated in the opposite direction of his movement.

Cavani, who was leaning against Gemersson, raised his right foot and used the arch of his foot to direct the ball forward to the left, which is the direction Martin was traveling.

"Oops!"

Jardim, the coach of the home team who was directing the technical area, stared hard and immediately realized that the situation was not good.

It was too late for left midfielder Lemar to move in.

Left back Mendy is not far away, so he shoulders the important task of covering up Martin.

Martin, who was facing the football, adjusted his steps, supported his body with his left foot, and swung his right foot forward suddenly as he swung back.

The tight instep hit the middle and lower part of the football hard.

Boom~

A crisp muffled sound instantly echoed through the Stade Louis II.

As soon as the focused goalkeeper Subasic heard the sound, he keenly felt the surging energy of the football flying toward the goal. His body immediately took a step to the left based on years of training, and he stretched out his left arm and stretched out his five fingers. .

He even felt the football on his fingertips, and his face lit up.

But after a few tenths of a second, his smile froze.

The powerful and heavy football rushed over with unstoppable momentum, without even changing its trajectory, grazing the inner edge of the right goal post and diving into the snow-white net...

"Goooooooooooooooooal—"

"Martin! Without stopping the ball, he volleyed directly into the net! Arsenal equalized the score as a guest!"

"Oh My God! A wonderful long-range goal! Martin scored his 14th goal in the Champions League this season! He shares the top scorer list with Cristiano Ronaldo!"

"Beautiful! Incredible performance! The score became 1:1!"

……

The commentators in the live commentary box all blurted out the words.

After scoring the goal, Martin stood there with his iconic open arms, waiting for his teammates to come forward to celebrate the goal.

In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Wenger excitedly hugged assistants Bold and Gary Williams, expressing his joy at equalizing the score.

Martin's wonderful goal not only equalized the score, but also brought valuable away goals and a huge morale boost to the team.

Jardim on the other end shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.

He could tell that the players had done their best, but there was still no way to stop Martin from scoring.

Full of confusion about the next game.
