Chapter 242 Passing shots and making achievements, the 'Martin Song' around the Emirates Stadium
"Oh My God!"
BBC commentator Lineker exclaimed: "Martin again!"
Ospina held up his hands, quickly got up from the ground, ran to the door, and helped Martin...no, Daddy Ma up: "Thank you."
Martin smiled and patted Ospina on the shoulder: "We're all teammates, we should help each other."
After saying that, he high-fived the other teammates who came up.
On the pitch, Liverpool held his head in his hands with a look of disbelief on his face.
Especially Lallana, who hit an empty goal, he never expected that... Martin would appear in front of the goal to complete an extremely extreme goal-line clearance.
Klopp, who was standing in the visiting team coach's command area, shook his head dejectedly. If it were other Arsenal players, he would be shocked, but...Martin seems to be born for key scenes.
It will always appear in the most critical position.
Whether it's offense or defense.
The Liverpool players obviously forgot to throw the frontcourt throw-in immediately due to the impact of not scoring an empty goal. The live director took this opportunity to replay the wonderful process just now, so that the fans in front of the TV can fully experience the shocking scene of Martin's wonderful clearance.
From defense to offense to offense to defense, Martin made the right choice. He did not press the ball holder or potential ball-eating players, but ran towards the goal.
Because the Liverpool players involved in the offense have dedicated players to mark them, he does not need his assistance.
In addition, football always moves faster than people. If he chases the player holding the ball, he may have a certain probability of completing the steal, but it is more likely that the Liverpool players with higher football intelligence will use their own upper body to pick the ball away. .
At that point, there is real powerlessness.
Running towards the door became the best choice.
Lex Sports commentator Zhan Jun said impassionedly: "Martin's goal-line clearance is completely equivalent to helping Arsenal score! If the score becomes 1:1, the next game will be very difficult to play. In the two-round match, Conceding goals at home often brings fatal risks."
Whether it was the live commentary box or the commentator in the live broadcast room, they all used words of praise for Martin.
From the perspective of excitement, it is no less than a goal.
In football matches, more than just scoring goals can give people a super burning sense of déjà vu.
Defense is okay too!
Klein threw a foul ball from the right side of the front court. Liverpool players were obviously affected by the lack of an empty goal, and the offense dropped significantly compared to the previous few minutes.
After several consecutive passes, Moreno received the football from the left and completed a low-quality cross.
Gabriel withstood Firmino, and Ospina took off to the small penalty area line to pick up the ball.
Arsenal won the ball, and their offense focused on stability. Through patient and continuous passes in the midfield and backfield, they moved the ball to the Liverpool defensive half.
As the game time has come to the end of the first half, Arsenal's offensive system led by Martin decided to maintain the existing score until the end of the first half.
Of course, if given the chance.
He will also send a deadly pass or pull out of the arsenal of tricks to extend the lead to two goals.
Time passed by second by second, and soon it came to injury time.
Klopp has obviously studied Arsenal fully and knows that Arsenal is very good at using the four time periods when scoring is the easiest to score goals, so he stands in the coach's command area of the visiting team and constantly reminds the players on the field.
It is precisely for this reason that Arsenal's offensive system led by Martin cannot find good opportunities.
After 1 minute of stoppage time, the referee Anthony Taylor decisively blew his whistle to signal the end of the first half of the game.
The on-site director once again showed the camera to Martin.
Without a doubt, he was the best player in the entire first half.
The offensive end continuously posed a huge threat to Liverpool's goal and scored a goal.
The defensive end appeared in dangerous areas many times to turn the tide, and also completed a goal-line clearance.
From both offensive and defensive ends, they have made huge contributions to Arsenal.
The Arsenal players also knew Martin's role in the team, and they took the initiative to ask him for high fives and shoulders to encourage each other.
The Liverpool players seen later in the broadcast had heavy faces, obviously affected by the score being behind.
They were once very close to scoring, but... they were saved by Martin.
Players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms through the player tunnel, and the atmosphere created by the audience dropped significantly.
During the halftime break, players need to recuperate, and fans who vent their passion for 45 minutes also need to recover and continue to fight for the 45 minutes of the second half.
Players from both sides sitting on the bench used this time to enter the court to warm up and warm up their bodies while preparing for the second half.
The weather in London in January is really cold.
The 15-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court through the tunnel to prepare for the second half.
Although the EFL Cup semi-finals are two rounds, the results of each game will seriously affect the final result.
For Arsenal, it is not only to win at home, but also to score more goals without conceding.
Liverpool almost have the same idea. They can lose as a guest, but... they must get enough away goals.
If the scores in both rounds are the same, the team with more away goals will advance!
"beep~"
A whistle sounded over the Emirates Stadium.
Firmino kicked the ball to Coutinho, and the Arsenal players retreated to the half court according to the tactics arranged by coach Wenger during the halftime break, handing the initiative to Liverpool and waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.
In the early days of Klopp's coaching, Liverpool had not yet formed his imprint, and the team's tactical play had not been fully adapted.
The midfield line composed of Emre Can, Lucas and Henderson lacked sufficient offensive creation ability, so that the front three composed of Coutinho, Firmino and Lallana had to take turns to retreat. Participate in offensive organization.
The impact is very large, which means that the forward line cannot bring enough pressure to Arsenal's defensive line.
In this context, Arsenal got some counterattack opportunities.
After receiving the football, Martin often uses very concise technical movements to get rid of the Liverpool players who are attacking him, and then sends a precise long pass.
It is a pity that the stability of Campbell and Walcott is really worrying, and they cannot put enough pressure on Mignolet to guard the goal.
When the time came to 10 and [-] minutes, Arsenal took the lead in making adjustments, and it was still in two positions.
Flamini replaced Arteta and Sanchez replaced Campbell.
The intentions of both substitutions and adjustments are obvious.
The former is intended to release Martin, allowing him to focus on offense.
The second substitution is that Sanchez's ability to counterattack with the ball is obviously more experienced than Costa Rica international Campbell, and... his footwork is better.
Klopp also thought about substitutions, but...he found that there were no good options.
It wasn't until the 10th minute of the game that Benteke was replaced by Firmino, who was not threatening in the penalty area.
Seeing this substitution adjustment, Leshi sports commentator Zhan Jun's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but think of the game against Leicester City ten days ago.
Liverpool led 1:0 at the time and entered stoppage time. Benteke got an open goal opportunity and could have scored from a very wide angle. He insisted on taking the ball to the penalty spot and shot again, but Morgan used his leg. The ball was blocked completely, so that Liverpool suffered continuous bombings from Leicester City in the last few minutes.
special!
If you push the empty goal early, it's over, CTMD!
Traditional virtue Benteke.
So when he saw this substitution, he shook his head and said: "Personally, I think Benteke's condition still needs to be adjusted. Whether it is Jordan Ibe or Origi, the effect may be better than Benteke."
Fans watching the live broadcast of Leshi Sports also thought that the empty goal was really disappointing.
Within a few minutes, Coutinho developed leg muscle discomfort during the continuous physical confrontation.
Milner replaces him.
Making forced adjustments, Klopp had no choice but to hope that the players would suddenly break out and help the team turn the tide.
The fanatical atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is always high. After leaving all defense to Flamini, Martin can free up more focus on offense, which causes Liverpool to retreat to the half-court and continue to defend.
In the 72nd minute of the game, another accident occurred on the field and Walcott fell to the ground during the confrontation.
After a simple test by the team doctor, it was still unable to persist and Arsenal had to make a third substitution.
Chamberlain replaced Theo Walcott who was injured.
The on-site director showed Wenger a close-up shot on the sidelines, and he frowned.
Walcott is still very important to the team's current tactical system. If he is injured again, it is likely to have a very big impact on the next game.
Thinking of this, he must continue to put pressure on the club after this game and get rid of Vardy as soon as possible.
If possible, both Mahrez and Kante can be bought.
When the time comes, Sanchez will be on the left, Mahrez will be on the right, and Martin + Kanter will be in the middle.
The strength of the lineup is simply amazing!
If the three people join, it will definitely bring about earth-shaking changes to Arsenal.
After all, Ranieri's mission in the media interview was to lead the team to avoid relegation, and now Leicester City has scored [-] points. According to previous years' data, it can definitely avoid relegation, so... there is no need to work hard anymore.
It’s absolutely no problem to sell a few main players.
With beautiful longing, Wenger looked up at the stadium.
Ramsey's through ball was intercepted, and Liverpool got a chance to switch from defense to offense, but Martin, through early prediction, appeared ghostly in the path of Henderson passing the ball to Benteke.
The ball was intercepted during the run and Arsenal continued to gain offensive opportunities.
Firmino, who didn't catch the ball, spread his hands and quickly threw himself into defense.
"aoaoaoaoooooo——" The Arsenal fans in the audience roared loudly, cheering for Martin who performed well.
Martin, who had stopped playing football, had a good grasp of the situation and was keenly aware that Liverpool's defensive players were in a very poor position when switching from offense to defense.
So, he took a step forward and made a long pass with his right foot directly to the right rib of the attack.
The inside of the instep kicked a long diagonal pass more than 30 meters to the left front. The football flew up from the ground and flew towards Sanchez who was attacking the left rib.
The pass landed very well, flying over the head of Kolo Toure who had hurriedly jumped while retreating, and landed precisely in the path of Sanchez who was advancing.
"Kolo Toure is on top!"
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's voice went up an octave: "Alexis Sanchez!!"
While running at high speed, Sanchez used his chest to push the ball forward to the right, and faced Lovren's defense with an exaggerated swing of his right foot.
Lovren, who came from the defense, saw this, and his brain had no time to think. The idea of blocking the shot filled his whole body. Obviously, he wanted to increase the probability of blocking by expanding the blocking area of the body.
Unexpectedly, Sanchez took full advantage of his short legs and heavy heart, and quickly lowered the outer instep of his right foot to move the football that had dropped to the height of his calf sideways to the right.
Lovren is 1.8 meters tall, weighs 84 kilograms, and has a high center of gravity. His subconscious sudden stop when coming from defense suffered a lot of inertia...
Therefore, he could only watch helplessly as Sanchez moved the ball to where he was running, then raised his right foot and shot.
"Sanchez beats Lovren!!"
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai said impassionedly.
Lucas, the single defensive midfielder, has been very active in returning to defense, but it is still a lot slower.
After all, he didn't expect Kolo Toure to rise to the top.
Just after crossing the penalty area line, Lucas saw Sanchez swinging his right foot about one meter to the left of the penalty spot.
Mignolet lowered the center of gravity of his body, opened his hands naturally, and was ready to save at any time.
Sanchez made a very simple choice when almost alone. He pushed the arch of his right foot into the far corner.
Mignolet, who subconsciously made a save to the left, had not yet completely closed his body to the ground. The fast-rolling football that was close to the ground passed by first, then rubbed the inner edge of the right goal post, crossed the goal line, and hit the snow-white net...
"Goooooooooooooal—"
The drawn-out voice of Sky TV commentator Andy Gray was the first to set off a frenzied atmosphere in the commentary box.
"The ball went in! Sanchez received Martin's accurately guided long pass, passed Lovren's arch and shot past Mignolet's fingers, helping Arsenal gain a two-goal lead at home!"
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai’s voice rose an octave: “2:0!”
“Arsenal’s signature offensive routine this season is from attack to defense to defense to attack! Martin accurately predicted Liverpool’s pass in the counterattack in advance, and sent a long diagonal pass that was exquisite! Sanchez seemed to be in advance Knowing that Kolo Toure would go up, he stopped the ball with his chest and passed Lovren who was covering the defense. He was very decisive in the face of Mignolet's push. Arsenal led Liverpool 2:0 at home!"
This well-timed goal instantly set off a fanatical atmosphere in the entire Emirates Stadium, and the overwhelming cheers swept the entire stadium instantly and lasted for a long time.
Sanchez, who scored a goal, was extremely excited, but instead of celebrating alone, he turned and rushed to Martin, who sent a precise oblique pass.
As a teammate, he knew that without Martin's wonderful performance, he would not have been able to get a one-on-one opportunity.
The Arsenal players in the frontcourt huddled together to celebrate the goal that expanded the score.
Liverpool coach Klopp shook his head bitterly. He had basically guessed that there was no way back in this game.
But he has an obsession, hoping to score a valuable away goal in the away game.
A 1:2 loss as a guest is completely acceptable.
When the time comes to return to home and win 1:0, you can advance to the EFL Cup finals with the advantage of more away goals.
Taking advantage of the Arsenal players celebrating the goal, Klopp planned to make the third substitution adjustment.
The on-site guide restored the wonderful goal just now.
Starting from Ramsey's passing error, to Martin's advance judgment of the ball and accurate long diagonal pass, the whole process was smooth and smooth.
On the contrary, it became easier for Sanchez to pass the ball past Lovren and score Mignolet's goal with a single shot.
Almost every commentator had words of praise for Martin that they could utter.
Judging from his performance on both offense and defense, Martin's contribution was huge.
[If you want to win, you still have to watch my little brother Ma! 】
[Brother Ma, show some respect!Please call Pony God! 】
[What do you call respect upstairs?Just call the Horse God! 】
[My girlfriend asked me why I was kneeling to watch the game. I knocked her to the ground with my backhand. We were kneeling together to watch the horse racing game. She was in front and I was behind. 】
[I would like to ask, is this what I want you to do when you kneel together? 】
……
A large number of unsightly barrages suddenly appeared in Lex Sports' live broadcast room.
Not long after, the game restarted, and Liverpool, who was lagging behind, made one final adjustment.
Origi, who has not yet become Liverpool's "Koi", replaces Lallana, who has little effect, and directly enhances the height of the frontcourt attack.
It's easy to see that Klopp intends to use the most primitive attacking methods for the rest of the game.
A long pass and a cross from the wing!
The success rate of this offensive method is relatively low, but once the pass is accurate, it is also an excellent opportunity.
The double central defenders composed of Gabriel and Koscielny gradually felt the pressure, and Martin decisively returned to the penalty area to assist the two in completing the high-altitude ball defense.
In this regard, Martin still has a very strong dominance.
Benteke is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 83 kilograms, but he still failed to complete the top ball in Martin's coverage area.
Even if the Liverpool player's cross is very accurate, Benteke will be unable to adjust his aim under the pressure of Martin.
Of course, Arsenal does not just defend, and will decisively launch a counterattack when given the opportunity.
But at this stage of the game, Liverpool's defensive players were also willing to go all out. They always resorted to fouls when switching from offense to defense, giving Arsenal no chance to counterattack at all.
In the blink of an eye, the game came to 85 minutes.
The score shown on the scoreboard is still Arsenal leading Liverpool 2:0.
Since both sides have made all three substitution adjustments, the coaches on both sides have no good solution and can only pin their hopes on the players on the field.
Wenger hoped to score another goal in the remaining game time and completely kill the game.
Klopp wants his players to score one goal and then go on to score as many goals as possible before the end of the game.
Liverpool is born with a reversal gene.
However, Arsenal led by Martin did not give them this opportunity.
Until injury time, Liverpool had no absolute chance to score.
As a 'quid pro quo', Arsenal also failed to score a third goal.
When Anthony Taylor blew the whistle at the end of the game, the scoreboard still showed 2:0.
Arsenal beat visiting Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium.
Although he didn't kill the game at home, Wenger was very satisfied with the result of the game.
After a devilish schedule of three games a week, the team's overall condition has declined.
Being able to defeat Liverpool by two goals at home is also a good result.
After a polite handshake with Klopp, Wenger took the initiative to walk into the stadium and hugged the biggest hero of the game.
Martin!
Without Martin's outstanding performance, let alone winning, even a draw might be just a luxury hope.
At this time, the 'Martin Song', which has recently become popular among gun fans, rang out over the Emirates Stadium.
[In the summer of 15, we got a new gun]
【he!From the mysterious dragon kingdom]
【The defense is indestructible, the offense is like a broken bamboo】
[Proficient in scoring and assisting]
【Martin!Martin! !Martin! ! ! 】
[The new king of Emirates Stadium, please accept the sincere worship of believers! 】
【Martin!Martin! !Martin! ! ! 】
[He said he would lead us to win all championships! 】
【Martin!Martin! !Martin! ! ! 】
【we believe!Just like he is now leading us to win game after game! 】
……
After hugging and greeting coach Wenger, Martin faced the fans who were singing wildly. He raised his hands, looked around, and thanked the fans for their support by applauding.
What responded to him was a louder and more melodious singing voice.

"Oh My God!"
BBC commentator Lineker exclaimed: "Martin again!"
Ospina held up his hands, quickly got up from the ground, ran to the door, and helped Martin...no, Daddy Ma up: "Thank you."

Taking advantage of the Arsenal players celebrating the goal, Klopp planned to make the third substitution adjustment.
The on-site guide restored the wonderful goal just now.
Starting from Ramsey's passing error, to Martin's advance judgment of the ball and accurate long diagonal pass, the whole process was smooth and smooth.
On the contrary, it became easier for Sanchez to pass the ball past Lovren and score Mignolet's goal with a single shot.
Almost every commentator had words of praise for Martin that they could utter.
Judging from his performance on both offense and defense, Martin's contribution was huge.
[If you want to win, you still have to watch my little brother Ma! 】
[Brother Ma, show some respect!Please call Pony God! 】
[What do you call respect upstairs?Just call the Horse God! 】
[My girlfriend asked me why I was kneeling to watch the game. I knocked her to the ground with my backhand. We were kneeling together to watch the horse racing game. She was in front and I was behind. 】
[I would like to ask, is this what I want you to do when you kneel together? 】
……
A large number of unsightly barrages suddenly appeared in Lex Sports' live broadcast room.
Not long after, the game restarted, and Liverpool, who was lagging behind, made one final adjustment.
Origi, who has not yet become Liverpool's "Koi", replaces Lallana, who has little effect, and directly enhances the height of the frontcourt attack.
It's easy to see that Klopp intends to use the most primitive attacking methods for the rest of the game.
A long pass and a cross from the wing!
The success rate of this offensive method is relatively low, but once the pass is accurate, it is also an excellent opportunity.
The double central defenders composed of Gabriel and Koscielny gradually felt the pressure, and Martin decisively returned to the penalty area to assist the two in completing the high-altitude ball defense.
In this regard, Martin still has a very strong dominance.
Benteke is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 83 kilograms, but he still failed to complete the top ball in Martin's coverage area.
Even if the Liverpool player's cross is very accurate, Benteke will be unable to adjust his aim under the pressure of Martin.
Of course, Arsenal does not just defend, and will decisively launch a counterattack when given the opportunity.
But at this stage of the game, Liverpool's defensive players were also willing to go all out. They always resorted to fouls when switching from offense to defense, giving Arsenal no chance to counterattack at all.
In the blink of an eye, the game came to 85 minutes.
The score shown on the scoreboard is still Arsenal leading Liverpool 2:0.
Since both sides have made all three substitution adjustments, the coaches on both sides have no good solution and can only pin their hopes on the players on the field.
Wenger hoped to score another goal in the remaining game time and completely kill the game.
Klopp wants his players to score one goal and then go on to score as many goals as possible before the end of the game.
Liverpool is born with a reversal gene.
However, Arsenal led by Martin did not give them this opportunity.
Until injury time, Liverpool had no absolute chance to score.
As a 'quid pro quo', Arsenal also failed to score a third goal.
When Anthony Taylor blew the whistle at the end of the game, the scoreboard still showed 2:0.
Arsenal beat visiting Liverpool at the Emirates Stadium.
Although he didn't kill the game at home, Wenger was very satisfied with the result of the game.
After a devilish schedule of three games a week, the team's overall condition has declined.
Being able to defeat Liverpool by two goals at home is also a good result.
After a polite handshake with Klopp, Wenger took the initiative to walk into the stadium and hugged the biggest hero of the game.
Martin!
Without Martin's outstanding performance, let alone winning, even a draw might be just a luxury hope.
At this time, the 'Martin Song', which has recently become popular among gun fans, rang out over the Emirates Stadium.
[In the summer of 15, we got a new gun]
【he!From the mysterious dragon kingdom]
【The defense is indestructible, the offense is like a broken bamboo】
[Proficient in scoring and assisting]
【Martin!Martin! !Martin! ! ! 】
[The new king of Emirates Stadium, please accept the sincere worship of believers! 】
【Martin!Martin! !Martin! ! ! 】
[He said he would lead us to win all championships! 】
【Martin!Martin! !Martin! ! ! 】
【we believe!Just like he is now leading us to win game after game! 】
……
After hugging and greeting coach Wenger, Martin faced the fans who were singing wildly. He raised his hands, looked around, and thanked the fans for their support by applauding.
What responded to him was a louder and more melodious singing voice.
