Chapter 249 Impact Messi’s record that shocked the past and the present!
"Liverpool lost three goals in a row. Klopp finally realized that the 433-[-]-[-] formation was unable to give Arsenal enough pressure on the defensive end. However, the score was already behind. Will focusing on the center affect their offense?"
When the game restarted, Liverpool's offensive threat dropped significantly. Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai asked doubtfully.
"There must be an impact."
Zhang Hehe explained from a tactical level: "But Klopp has no way. If the hidden dangers that may arise in the defensive level of the middle cannot be solved, judging from the threat of Arsenal's penetration in the middle, as long as the ball is given to Martin, he is very likely to Continue to put huge defensive pressure on the Liverpool defense."
Klopp, who was standing in the home team coach's command area, was wearing a heavy down jacket and had his trademark stubble on his face. He inadvertently opened his mouth to reveal his white teeth, but what attracted more attention was his frown.
It is not difficult to see that he has a very headache now.
A two-goal lead turned into a one-goal deficit. The huge psychological gap made the whole person feel bad.
The feeling of the players on the field is even more intuitive, otherwise they would not think of strengthening the offense to equalize the score early.
If the score cannot be equalized in a short period of time, the next game will be very troublesome.
It will be difficult to equalize the score once Arsenal stabilizes the situation.
This is also the fundamental reason why goals in many games are concentrated and it is difficult to score after a certain period of time.
Arsenal is both the team with the most goals and the team with the fewest goals conceded this season.
They were caught off guard in the first 10 minutes and conceded two goals in a row.
In the past, Arsenal would have definitely failed to recover, but this season's Arsenal has undergone earth-shaking changes with the addition of Martin.
Arsenal have not won this honor since winning the Premier League in the 2003-2004 season.
His strength was not bad, and he led the standings for a long time, but in the end he fell behind due to various reasons.
This season, Arsenal has undergone earth-shaking changes after Martin joined the team, directly transforming a team competing for the fourth place into a team competing for the championship!
In the past 20 rounds of the league, the points lead has reached an astonishing 13 points!
It is also true that Martin directly leads through his personal charm and desire to win.
"How...how to kick?"
Klopp frowned as he looked at Martin, not knowing what to do.
The two substitution adjustments made did not have a very good effect. On the contrary, the substitute players needed to find the rhythm of the game, which resulted in the offense not being smooth enough and often returning without success.
With Martin's outstanding performance, Arsenal withstood Liverpool's three attempts to restart the game and began to create threatening attacks.
With the score already ahead, Martin knew what to do next.
Stabilize the rhythm, use his excellent footwork to constantly involve Liverpool's defense, and then send precise long passes at critical moments.
At that time, it will be time to expand the score.
Klopp judged the situation very accurately. Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, he stood on the sidelines and blew a hand-made whistle. When the players looked over, he immediately informed the players on the field how to respond through body movements with obvious tactical intentions.
Although Liverpool's on-the-spot adjustments were timely, there was no way to avoid Arsenal, which was gradually gaining momentum, launching a storm of continuous attacks.
If it weren't for Mignolet's outstanding performance and Arsenal's forward players' poor ability to seize opportunities, the score would have been 2:4 behind.
Wenger, the head coach of the visiting team, was sitting in the coaching bench, looking like he was sure of victory.
But not long after, something unexpected happened.
Giroud's header from the left rib of the penalty area was easily caught by Mignolet. Liverpool wanted to launch a quick counterattack, but was forced to turn into a positional battle when Martin arrived in time.
After continuous passes, the football went to the feet of Lallana, who was attacking the right rib. He glanced at Benteke in the penalty area and actually passed the ball straight.
Monreal's subconscious tackle didn't touch anything, and he could only watch helplessly as Klein stopped and took the ball to the right sideline of the penalty area, and made a pass.
Koscielny made a timely defense and blocked the block, but unfortunately, the football shot up from the ground and hit his left hand...
Klein passing the ball, Emre Can and Firmino in the penalty area, and Lallana in front of the penalty area on the right side all subconsciously slapped their arms in excitement, reminding the referee Mike Jones that Koscielny committed a handball foul. .
Arsenal players led by Koscielny naturally denied it.
Handball?
Nothing!
Mac Jones was not in a very good position and could not see very clearly. He felt that he had hit but not hit, and he held the whistle in his mouth but did not blow it for a long time.
The assistant referee is in a better position and he can see clearly.
Then, the right hand holding the side flag was raised high and waved continuously.
The left hand simultaneously slaps the right upper arm of the flag waving hand to remind the referee that there is a handball in the penalty area.
Seeing the assistant's gesture, Mike Jones resolutely blew his whistle and pointed to the penalty spot with his left hand.
"Oh?"
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's voice rose an octave: "Penalty kick! Liverpool got a penalty kick in the 71st minute of the game."
Immediately afterwards, Mike Jones showed a yellow card to Koscielny for a handball foul.
Andy Gray's high-pitched voice became extremely surprised: "Laurent Koscielny seems to have received a yellow card before, this..."
as predicted!
Mike Jones saw that Koscielny's number had been recorded on the front of the yellow card, and then solemnly took out the ruby card from his trouser pocket.
Two yellows turn one red!
Wenger, who was originally confident of winning, suddenly lost his composure. He stood up excitedly and ran to the command and technical area on the sidelines to spread his hands in protest.
The Arsenal players on the field were also pleading for mercy, hoping that the referee could take back his life.
Mertesacker even said that the penalty kick was acceptable when the situation was almost decided. Can Koscielny's second yellow card be taken back?
Referee Mike Jones shook his head and said the decision could not be changed.
While the Arsenal players were arguing with the referee, the on-site director restored the entire process.
According to slow-motion replay, Klein's cross did hit the left hand of the fallen Koscielny.
Penalties are no problem.
Many commentators criticized Mike Jones for showing Koscielny a yellow card.
After all, handball is not proactive.
But in the final analysis, barely enough is enough to get a yellow card.
But with the appearance of this red card, the balance of numbers on both sides will be broken.
The exciting mutual offense and defense will most likely turn into a half-time offensive drill for Liverpool at home.
Liverpool fans were ecstatic about this and applauded Mac Jones.
"papapaaaaa—"
Thunderous applause swept the entire Anfield.
Koscielny, who appeared on the broadcast screen, saw that the referee had no intention of changing the decision. He sighed and walked off the court in the direction of the opponent's finger.
Wenger, whose protest was ineffective, sighed and returned to the coaching bench, asking his assistant Bold to call Gabriel over from the warm-up area to keep the defense stable.
With Milner being substituted, the penalty kick was taken by Benteke.
"beep~"
Mac Jones blew his whistle.
Cech pounced in the right direction, but Benteke's football angle was very tricky and his power was strong, so he could only declare that he was beyond his reach.
The score became 3:3.
Before the game restarted, Arsenal made substitution adjustments.
Gabriel replaced Giroud, and the formation changed from the original 4231 to 4221.
The back line and defensive midfielder remain unchanged. Ramsey and Chamberlain play a double front midfielder similar to a Christmas tree formation, with Sanchez at the forefront.
It looks like replacing a forward with a defender, but it actually gives the team a chance to rebound.
With one less player, it is destined to focus on defense and counterattack, so leaving Giroud at the front is a waste.
It is better to maintain stability in the midfield and backcourt, and then use Martin's precise long pass and now increasingly better ability to hold the ball forward. "aoaoaoooooooo——"
Liverpool took advantage of the penalty kick opportunity to equalize the score. The Liverpool fans at Anfield Stadium were ecstatic and made a deafening roar to cheer for the struggling players on the field.
The morale of the home team was greatly boosted, and one more player was beaten, and everyone expected to go beyond the score in one go.
After receiving the football, Martin did not rush forward to attack. Instead, he connected the midfield and the midfield through active running.
Because of his large movements and concise play style, it is impossible to guard against him.
Fans watching the game even had an illusion.
Arsenal were not short of one player.
Especially as the time comes to the 75-minute mark.
After a week of consecutive double matches, the players from both teams felt that their physical fitness had dropped significantly, and their motivation to run had dropped significantly.
Liverpool did have one more player, but the problem was that they couldn't get the ball at all.
Ineffective running caused the already poor physical condition to become worse. In order to ensure that they could complete the 10-minute game, several starting players chose to stick to the half-time and wait for opportunities.
Klopp, who was standing in the home team coach's command area, did not express dissatisfaction. If there was one more player at home, he should indeed use the numerical advantage to attack aggressively.
But the problem is that they can't grab the ball at all. The starting players have been running around for a long time and are now almost exhausted. They can't support sustained high defense at all.
Once physical exhaustion occurs, Arsenal, with one less player to play, may kill the game.
A draw with Arsenal at home was the main plan before the game. If you lose your mind because of one more player, the result may go in the opposite direction.
Neither Wenger nor Martin expected that Liverpool, with one more player to play, would choose to play it safe.
Even if they got the opportunity to attack, they did not attack aggressively and focused on stability.
Arsenal had one less player to play, so Wenger had absolutely no need to take risks. He also asked the team to play steadily when gaining possession of the ball.
As a result, the game continued until the 4th minute of stoppage time, and the scoreboard still showed the score 3:3.
"The game is over! The game is over!"
新英体育解说员金向凯朗声道：“利物浦在主场最终3：3战平领头羊阿森纳，另一场在白鹿巷球场降下帷幕，客队莱斯特城1：0击败热刺，本场比赛未能取胜的阿森纳积分优势已经从13分变成11分。”
The on-site director immediately showed Martin the camera.
The intention of this picture is obvious.
The best in the world!
Martin failed to lead Arsenal to defeat Liverpool as a guest. Martin appeared on the broadcast screen and looked unhappy. He shook his head and sighed.
This was his second time playing at Anfield, but he still failed to win the game, which made him feel a little depressed.
It wasn't until his teammates came over that he showed a faint smile.
He always believed that he was not strong enough.
Otherwise, the situation can be reversed and Arsenal, with one less player to play, can defeat Liverpool at Anfield.
The 2015st round of the 2016-21 Premier League season has come to an end.
Arsenal, who drew with Liverpool as a guest, are still at the top of the list, but their points lead has become smaller.
Premier League standings.

2. Lukaku (Everton) 15 goals
3. Vardy (Leicester City) 15 goals [3]
4. Harry Kane (Tottenham) 11 goals [2]

Compared with the fierce competition in the scorer list, Martin is the leader in the assists list.

2. David Silva (Manchester City) 7 times
2. De Bruyne (Manchester City) 7 times
2. Mahrez (Leicester City) 7 times
5. Eriksen (Tottenham) 6 times
……
Not surprisingly, Martin, who scored a goal at Anfield and scored a goal, became the focus of the British media's coverage.
Not only did he score 16 goals, he also contributed 21 assists and directly participated in 37 more goals. He is only 44 away from the 7 goals Henry created in a single Premier League season.
If it were placed on other players, perhaps this possibility would be lower.
But in Martin's case, it's hard to doubt.
In his first Premier League season, he contributed 20 assists in only 21 Premier League games with one game less, averaging one assist per game.
There are 17 league rounds left in this season. Even if he cannot maintain one assist per game, he still has 8.5 assists. Erasing the last zero can increase the number of directly involved goals to 45 by the end of the season.
Easily surpass Henry!
Moreover, Martin's scoring efficiency this season is very high, leading the scorer list with a 1-goal advantage.
Therefore, the British media believes that Martin is likely to increase the number of directly involved goals to 50+ by the end of this season.
While the domestic media in Dragon Kingdom praised Martin's performance, they also focused on the number of goals scored by the other 19 Premier League teams.
Martin personally participated in 37 goals. Except for Manchester City and Leicester City, which scored more goals than him, the remaining 17 teams were even lower after 21 rounds of the league...
Horror!
西班牙媒体看到英伦媒体大肆赞扬马丁的直接参与进球有些不爽，来自加泰罗尼亚的《世界体育报》在社交媒体更新动态：2010-2011赛季西甲联赛，莱奥·梅西31球18次助攻；2011-2012赛季50球19次助攻。
《阿斯报》也不知道是不是刻意，在《世界体育报》官方认证的INS/推特账号爆火后跟着更新：2010-2011赛季西甲联赛，克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多40球13次助攻；2011-2012赛季46球11次助攻。
The British media did not lose their collective voice. Instead, they made full use of Martin's almost abnormal data on both offense and defense to speak out.
Both Messi and Ronaldo occupy the vast majority of the resources of both teams, and they are both core offensive players. They are closer to the goal and deserve more goals and assists.
Martin directly contributed 21 goals and 16 assists in the 21st rounds of the league, which is based on focusing on defense!
"The Times", "BBC", "The Guardian", "442" and many other authoritative football media have spoken out, saying that if Martin can move forward like Messi, he will definitely surpass Messi and Ronaldo and create his own Directly involved in scoring goals.
Even the record of 2011 goals and 2012 assists created by Messi in the 50-19 season is astonishing!
Martin, who returned to London, noticed the quarrel between the British media and the Western media, and he couldn't help but think of a question.
The distance between 37 directly involved goals and 69 directly involved goals seems...not so far away.
69-37=32.
There are 17 rounds left in the Premier League this season.
"There is a definite head start!"
Martin thought that the possibility was not very high, but...it could be an impact.
What if it is realized?
