He was expelled from naturalization at the beginning and slipped to Europe to become the king of the

Chapter 393 The strongest spear finally pierced the strongest shield!

With the winter transfer window of the five major European leagues closing, the rich Premier League suddenly attracted worldwide attention and received real-name envy from a large number of fans of other leagues.

According to incomplete statistics, a total of 516 transfer transactions occurred in the winter window, and the five major leagues generated a total of 7.927 million pounds.

Among them, the transfer fees generated by the Premier League are as high as 5.456 million pounds, accounting for nearly 70% of the five major leagues.

Maybe it won’t be discovered until several years later that Barcelona...has become the biggest victim.

Players who spent huge sums of money to buy them were unable to play in games later, and had to subsidize their annual salary when they were loaned out.

Time has come to February, and the Arsenal team has also entered a very intensive schedule.

According to the normal arrangement, four league games are interspersed with a cup match.

The problem is that Arsenal played in the Club World Cup in mid-December last year and missed two rounds of the league.

No... the Premier League is all scheduled for February.

In other words, Arsenal has three league games, two make-up games, one FA Cup fifth round, one Champions League 2/1 final first leg and one EFL Cup final in total eight games in February.

To be precise, eight games are played in 26 days, which is an average of one game every three days.

Fortunately, except for the guest challenge against Tottenham, the guest challenge against Juventus and the EFL Cup game against Manchester City, which are more troublesome, the other five games can be said to be not worth mentioning.

Even the league match with Tottenham was not difficult.

Since Tottenham are building a new stadium and are temporarily renting the new Wembley Stadium, the game is actually no different to both sides.

The first was a 5-1 win over Everton at home. New aid Aubameyang twice received Martin's pass and used his speed to throw off the defender and send the ball into Pickford's gate.

Then there was a 1-0 win in the make-up match at the London Bowl.

Visited the new Wembley Stadium and won 3:0 against Tottenham in the league.

The home game against Newcastle was a small upset due to continuous fighting.

Even though they were leading 2:1, they were defeated and ended up drawing 2:2.

As a result, Arsenal's record of 27 consecutive wins in the opening rounds died.

After two rounds of make-up games, Arsenal's record is 26 wins and 1 draw, ranking first with 79 points.

曼城20胜4平3负积64分，排名第2。

曼联19胜3平5负积60分，排名第3。

利物浦54分，切尔西53分和热刺52分排名4~6位。

The scorer list and assist list are still dominated by Martin.

He scored 27 goals and 41 assists in 23 league rounds.

After playing 4 league games in just half a month, Arsenal ushered in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Because the opponent was Sheffield Wednesday, the bottom team in the English Championship, Wenger gave the main players a rest as planned.

Prepare to visit the Allianz Arena (formerly Juventus Arena) in the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals next week to challenge Serie A leader Juventus.

The overall performance was remarkable except for Mkhitaryan who struggled a lot at Hillsborough Stadium.

Aubameyang, Mahrez and Welbeck scored successively to help Arsenal beat Sheffield Wednesday 3:1 as a guest and successfully advance to the next round of the FA Cup.

Juventus head coach Allegri, who came to watch the away game, was very depressed. He wanted to watch Martin's game live, but he didn't attend at all and sat on the bench for 90 minutes.

Back in Turin, Allegri chose to stick to his original plan.

Hold on!

Try not to concede a goal at home as much as possible, and then shrink your defense in the second leg away from home.

It would be better to drag the game into overtime.

When the time comes, a penalty kick will be taken to see whose life is better!

Allegri's idea is also supported by the coaching staff and players.

There is no way, Arsenal's current overall performance is too dominant.

Seven crowns two years in a row.

Attacking is a dead end, and although defense is not much better, at least you can make sure you don't make mistakes first.

Isn't this... there is a plan B?

※※※※※

At the Colney training base, the entire Arsenal team is preparing for the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals at the Allianz Arena next week.

Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan, who joined in the winter window, are exceptions. Since they previously represented Dortmund and Manchester United respectively in the Champions League group stage this season, according to regulations, they cannot represent Arsenal in the knockout rounds this season.

However, according to media reports, such rules may be reformed next season.

The push for rule changes is also related to Barcelona, ​​Arsenal, Liverpool and many other teams that have made large signings in the winter window.

Spending more than 5000 million pounds in transfer fees, but being unable to represent the newly joined team in the knockout rounds due to rules is obviously very unfriendly to the buying club.

Coupled with the fact that many clubs support the specification update, UEFA has plans to follow suit.

According to people familiar with the matter, starting from next season, each team participating in the Champions League can register three players acquired through winter window transactions to participate in the Champions League games that season.

Closer to home, Arsenal's first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals at the Allianz Arena starts at : pm local time on Wednesday.

The entire team took a flight from London to Turin on Tuesday morning.

That night, Real Madrid VS Manchester United and Besiktas VS Bayern.

The most eye-catching focus of the game is undoubtedly Real Madrid's home game against Manchester United.

The most watched of these two games is undoubtedly Real Madrid VS Manchester United.

It is no exaggeration to say that this game has received even more attention than Juventus VS Arsenal.

Real Madrid is the most valuable club in world football today, and Manchester United is the most profitable and among the top three most valuable football clubs.

The most important thing is that the two teams have a close relationship.

Ronaldo, Manchester United's star player at the time, joined Real Madrid with a record transfer fee in world football.

现任曼联的主教练穆里尼奥在2010~2013年带领皇马打破了梦三巴萨对西甲的垄断，在2011-2012赛季更是率先创造联赛百分夺冠，更是创造了单赛季121球纪录。

In the Champions League, it was Mourinho who led Real Madrid out of the fate of being the best in the Champions League for consecutive years after being coached.

If it weren't for the conflicts with the big guys in the locker room later, perhaps more brilliance would have been created.

Although there was a bit of unpleasantness later on, Real Madrid fans still recognized Mourinho's contribution to the team.

There was also the fax machine incident, which also gave the two teams a new line of news.

In addition, Real Madrid won the 2013th Champions League championship in team history in the 2014- season with M Moser Real Madrid as its team.

Modric, who has been the core player for a long time, was also the player Mourinho strongly requested to introduce back then.

Returning to the Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid after five years, fans from Real Madrid also miss Mourinho very much.

The whole world's focus is on the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, and Martin and other Arsenal players staying at the hotel in Turin are also paying attention.

Players who are close to each other even make an appointment to watch the live broadcast of the game.

This is a game that does not exist in Martin's memory, just like the European Super Cup that should have happened last summer.

Therefore, Martin also watched with his teammates on the big screen provided by the hotel.

Real Madrid, who was at home, still played very proactively. The BBC offensive system led by Cristiano Ronaldo showed extremely high dominance, and it was like two teams compared to its poor performance in the group stage.

As a guest, Manchester United was very discerning and defended with all their strength, resisting Real Madrid's mercury-like attack.

It has to be said that Manchester United in Mu's second year still did very well on the defensive end. Although the players in the defensive system were not very capable, they were well integrated into a whole.

It is easy to see that Mourinho's training of this team has been successful.

After forty-five minutes of hard fighting, neither side achieved anything.

But Manchester United's overall strength is still much worse than Real Madrid.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Real Madrid organized a wave of extremely threatening attacks, which fully demonstrated the super ability of Ronaldo's 'instant noodle' template that has 'evolved' to the point where he can eat cakes all over the place!

After a series of passes, Carvajal finally caught the ball and passed the ball on the right.

Ronaldo's ghostly movement in the middle of the penalty area broke away from the defense of Matic and Smalling and appeared at the passing point.

Kick the knife down!

Kick the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.

1:0

Ronaldo, who scored, did not celebrate the goal. This... was his respect for his old club.

The balance of the game is thrown off and things get interesting.

Manchester United no longer focuses all its energy on defense.

However, the midfielder composed of Modric, Kroos and Casemiro has a strong ability to sustain the offense, and on the defensive end, it can rely on a strong overall to resolve Manchester United's not particularly strong offense.

In other words, Manchester United's current wave of players is not very strong.

With Pogba being closely guarded, Matic must focus all his energy on defense and has no time to consider offense.

At the end of the game, Real Madrid also launched an extremely efficient and quick counterattack.

Use Mourinho's best quick counterattack to expand the score to two goals.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Manchester United 2:0 at home.

There was no suspense in another game at the same time. The Southern King easily defeated the Turkish Super League team Besiktas 5:0.

The first legs of the two Champions League 1/8 finals ended on the first Champions League match day in midweek. The focus of the media was first on these two games, and then on the two contests on Wednesday night. Juventus VS Arsenal and Chelsea VS Roma.

The focus of the battle is undoubtedly the Serie A champion VS the Premier League champion!

2017-2018赛季意甲结束25轮，尤文图斯22胜2平1负积68分排名联赛第一，进62球丢15球，是意甲进球最多和丢球最少的球队。

But it's still a little worse than Arsenal.

During the same period, in the 27th round of the Premier League, Arsenal scored 89 goals and conceded 14 goals.

Whether it is scoring goals or conceding goals, they are the fewest in Europe.

This means that both offensive firepower and defensive capabilities are among the best in Europe.

However, before the game started, it was natural to find some gimmicks.

Serie A is famous for its defense, and Juventus itself has a very strong defensive ability. In recent seasons, it has been one of the teams that conceded the fewest goals in the European League. The overall defense can be said to be armed to the teeth.

The strongest fur and the strongest shield!

On the day of the game, Turin, a city with a hot football atmosphere, became extremely lively.

The official patrol was extremely careful and responsible for stability before the game.

England is rich in football hooligans. With Arsenal's continued and stable dominance in recent years, many notorious football hooligans have become Arsenal fans.

They always act like they are the best in the world, and if they feel a little uncomfortable, they will fight with the locals.

Apart from improving their memory in the Warring States, there is nothing that can be done against these football hooligans in many places.

The Allianz Stadium in Turin, which can accommodate 41000 fans, has already had more than % of fans pouring in an hour before the game. The fanatical game atmosphere made the Juventus players who were warming up on the scene high-spirited.

At this time, the starting lists of both parties also appeared on the official social accounts of major media.

The home team Juventus still uses the usual 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Buffon

Defenders: Alex Sandro, Chiellini, Benatia, De Sciglio

Midfielder: Matuidi, Khedira

Forward: Douglas Costa, Pjanic, Dybala

Forward: Higuain

……

The formation given by Arsenal is also the 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Defenders: Mendy, Van Dijk, Koscielny, Bellerin

Midfielder: Xhaka, Kante

Midfielder: Gnabry, Martin, Mahrez

Forward: Cavani

The starting lineups of both sides have leaked out, and fans who are paying attention to this game also realize that the game will start soon.

The two teams have met four times in the Champions League, but the time is quite distant.

2001-2002 season and 2005-2006 season.

The two teams also have a certain relationship.

Arsenal legends Henry and Vieira both had brief spells at Juventus.

The difference is that Henry played for Juventus for half a year before joining Arsenal, while Vieira joined Juventus from Arsenal later in his career, and later switched to Inter Milan due to the 'Calciopoli' incident.

Alves, who joined Arsenal on a free transfer last summer, also played for Juventus last season.

The players from both sides were still warming up before the game, and the on-site director showed the camera to the No. 10 player of the two teams.

Dybala and Martin!

In addition to being the core of their respective teams, the two are also responsible for the appearance of both teams.

As the game gets closer and closer, many female fans have updated their news on social platforms: With their gorgeous looks that can be seen at a glance, who are they supporting tonight? Dybala or Martin?

Therefore, some female fans responded: Can't we support both? I just want to see their looks, not the competition.

Such a response is undoubtedly recognized by a large number of female fans.

A few minutes before the start of the game, Dybala and Martin, the top players of both teams, came into contact for the first time.

The two patted each other on the shoulders and hugged each other in greeting.

The two teams also have many players who have a good relationship with each other, and they communicated with each other before the game.

※※※※※

The Champions League theme song "Champions League" ended. The two sides of the game went through the necessary procedures before completing the game. Each stood in the half court, waiting for the referee Bruchy to blow the whistle to start the game.

"Beep~"

The whistle sounded, and Arsenal, who had gained the kick-off advantage, quickly launched an offensive.

Juventus, playing at home, was exactly what many media and fans predicted before the game.

Total defense!

Try to suppress Arsenal's powerful offensive system through intensive defense.

Although Sanchez, who only had half a year left on his contract, was gone in this winter window, judging from several games in February, it did not affect Arsenal's offense.

Gnabry, Aubameyang, and Ronaldo can all play the responsibilities that Sanchez needs to shoulder on the left.

In other words, Sanchez's role can be replaced by other players, but... Martin cannot.

Since Martin joined Arsenal, the only two games lost last season were without Martin.

After Martin finished dealing with the death of his adoptive father Miguel Mario, he immediately achieved a huge reversal in the Champions League quarter-finals and completed his dominance of the league with a devastating force.

The defensive tactics formulated by Uncle Allegri before the game were very successful in the first half hour, perfectly integrating Italy's chain defense into the overall defense, and restricting Martin very well.

Matuidi, a fierce midfielder from France, followed Martin in all directions and cooperated with nearby defensive players to restrict him, which was equivalent to isolating Martin from the whole team.

Unfortunately, this situation only lasted for forty minutes.

In the 41st minute, Juventus' counterattack failed. As Van Dijk retreated, he overpowered Higuain and tipped the ball to Koscielny, who quickly handed it to Xhaka who ran out of position to receive the ball.

Arsenal's midfield attack is still quick and proficient in passing and receiving. In the past forty minutes, Martin passed the ball to the wing with the minimum number of passes while being closely marked, but this time there is something different from before. the difference.

After hitting the wing, he didn't cross the ball, but tipped the ball back.

Many fans in front of the TV sighed: I know this episode well, so I must try my luck on the other side.

Although the Juventus players on the field have rich defensive experience, they inevitably have inertial thinking.

The long defense left them with no extra time to focus on a battle of wits and courage.

Defense in many situations is instinctive.

Kanter, who was responsible for over-catching the ball, did not pass the ball to Xhaka for transfer, but handed it to Martin who suddenly shook his ankle and accelerated violently to break away from Matuidi's defense.

Matuidi, who had been running with Martin for forty minutes, was obviously very tired. He originally wanted to use Arsenal's usual offensive routine to catch his breath, but he didn't expect that Martin, who had no intention of catching the ball before, would speed up without warning... …

Matuidi, who was belatedly aware of the kick, did not kick anyone, and was stopped by Martin at lightning speed.

Douglas Costa moved in very quickly, falling to the ground to shovel as he moved.

It was obvious that he wanted to prevent Martin from moving forward with the ball through a foul!

Even the spikes light up.

But he underestimated Martin's explosiveness and speed.

Or, he seriously overestimated his movement speed.

"Beautiful!! Martin is starting to speed!!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice suddenly rose an octave higher.

Martin passed Douglas Costa at lightning speed, and Khedira, who was defending in the middle, quickly leaned over, intending to stretch his foot to trip him, even if he committed a foul.

Unfortunately, there is a big gap between ideal and reality.

Martin, who possesses extremely explosive power and speed, moved the ball to the right in advance. Then, without waiting for Chiellini to come forward to defend, Martin shot directly from the right side of the penalty area, about 26 meters away from the goal.

Boom~

The football shot up from the ground like a cannonball, and Chiellini stepped forward to block it. He wanted to use his flesh and blood to complete the block.

But before he could completely throw his body, the powerful and heavy football flew past with a whistling sound and flew towards the upper left corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Buffon turned 40 at the end of last month, and his reaction speed, movement, and explosive power are obviously not comparable to those of his youth.

He took two steps to the right, and then jumped sideways with all his strength, intending to take advantage of his wingspan to flick the ball out with his fingertips.

However, before his hands were fully displayed, the football, which was like a cannonball, grazed the inner edge of the upper post of the left goal, flew past the goal line radiation area, and crashed into the snow-white net.

"Goooooooooooooooal——"

"Martin! He used his personal rhythm changes to beat three people in a row! He fully demonstrated his super scoring ability! Through a powerful and heavy long-range shot, he helped Arsenal gain a 1:0 lead as a guest!"

"Oh My God! The World Wave user shows off his power again! Martin, who almost disappeared for half the game, suddenly exerts his strength! Take the lead!"

……

The commentator in the live commentary box/live broadcast room shouted hysterically.

Juventus fans at the Allianz Stadium looked at the football falling from the net with their mouths half open, dumbfounded.

This...is a goal?

The Arsenal fans who traveled with the team reacted very quickly. They hysterically vented their joy at Martin's goal.

Martin, who was the only one who scored, stood there with a calm face and opened his arms, hugging his teammates who came forward to celebrate the goal, and celebrating the leading goal together.
