Chapter 251: Textbook defensive counterattack, scoring twice!
"What brought us a fantastic goal was-"
Smith, the Emirates Stadium announcer's incendiary chant.
"—Martin!!!"
chanted by more than 5 Arsenal fans.
After scoring the goal, Martin did not celebrate the goal crazily. He stood firmly on the spot, lifted up his right shorts, and showed off his strong thigh muscles.
"Another wonderful world wave!"
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai shouted excitedly: "In the 35th minute of the game, Martin took advantage of a long shot opportunity to help Arsenal take the lead at home!"
"This goal is so beautiful!"
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said impassionedly: "Thibaud Courtois has actually touched the football, but he still failed to stop Martin's violent long-range shot! Arsenal leads 1:0 at home!" "
"This goal broke through Courtois' defense like a cannonball. It was incredible!"
Central 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "Martin's 17th Premier League goal this season! One step closer to Henry's record of directly participating in goals in a single season!"
Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger raised his arms in high spirits to vent the huge pressure brought about by the goal.
He knew that Hiddink wanted to put the decisive battle in the second half, so whether he could beat Chelsea at home was focused on the first half.
Scoring first is a huge boost to the entire game.
At the other end, Hiddink, who served as the interim head coach, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Chelsea, whom he temporarily coached, has actually done very well, but he did not expect Martin to show his role as a superstar.
The powerful and heavy long-range shot directly and violently blasted away the goal guarded by Courtois, showing his super personal ability.
The Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium were ecstatic, and they cheered one after another.
The Arsenal players on the court were also particularly inspired and celebrated the opening goal with great excitement.
The live director immediately restored the wonderful scoring process.
Martin stopped the football passed by Bellerin, and then without any adjustment, he swung the instep of his right foot directly towards the middle and lower part of the football.
The kicked football rose up from the ground with a crisp and muffled sound, knocking on the goal guarded by Courtois with overwhelming force.
The most visually shocking scene is that Courtois actually touched the football, and ended up breaking through the shackles very violently, hitting the inner edge of the upper end of the right goal post and refracting into the net.
Arsenal fans watching the live broadcast of the game were very excited, while Chelsea fans watching the game were depressed.
The defense was impeccable, but Martin directly started his role as a personal superstar.
so...
The game started again, and Chelsea, who were lagging behind, tried to become more direct in their offensive methods to see if they could knock off the goal guarded by Cech.
This is often the case, the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny.
Arsenal's defensive system performed well under Martin's checking and filling of gaps, and did not give Chelsea, who was missing Hazard, any chance.
Oscar's breakthrough ability is limited, so the task of finding a breakthrough is left to Brazilian international William.
How could Wenger not know this?
Hazard did not appear, so the breakthrough task would naturally fall on William, so there was a targeted deployment before the game.
Chelsea's offense was also greatly compromised by the low input of troops. Considering that the game time was approaching halftime, the amount of offensive troops invested in the offensive end was slightly reduced before the score was ahead.
Until the end of the first half, the scoreboard still showed 1:0.
The live director gave Martin a close-up shot.
This... is the best treatment of the half!
Martin contributed one goal on the offensive end in the first half and was indestructible on the defensive end.
During the halftime break, various TV stations/broadcast organizations once again used a magnifying glass to review Martin's wonderful and violent long-range goal.
Through the wonderful review of the first half, it was keenly captured that Martin was ahead of other players in various personal technical statistics.
Interceptions, aerial duels, number of passes, pass success rate, etc...
BBC Sports commentator Lineker exclaimed: "It's really hard to believe that Martin can continue his extremely high competitive state into every game! It's so strong! If he can finish this season healthy and lead Arsenal to win By the time he reaches the heavyweight championship, I think... Martin can be said to be a world-class star!"
"Same feeling! Outstanding defensive skills, superb ball control and dribbling skills at his feet, and increasingly high-quality long-range shots! He has ceiling-level performance on both offense and defense. Maybe... he will become the strongest six-sided player in the history of modern football. Shape Warrior!"
Henry, who was the technical guest, said solemnly.
"It seems that Thierry is very optimistic about Martin's development prospects."
Lineker joked.
"Yes, I am very optimistic about him becoming a superstar."
The 15-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the court one after another to prepare for the second half of the game.
The on-site director specially showed the camera to the Chelsea bench. The star Hazard was still wrapped in a thick down jacket, obviously not planning to come on as a substitute before the start of the second half.
"Hiddink is really tolerant~"
Lux sports commentator Zhan Jun joked.
Commentator Li Yuankui laughed: "Actually, there is no good choice for Hiddink. Hazard is indeed very good, but he may not be able to break through Martin on the left. Don't forget, since Martin made his debut, there has not been any player Able to break through his defense, including Messi."
At the end of the sentence, his tone became extremely solemn.
The second half of the game kicked off with Michael Oliver's whistle.
Chelsea, who got the kick-off right, obviously wanted to get a head start. The attack organized by Cesc Fabregas quickly came to the 30-meter area defended by Arsenal.
Perhaps considering that the center is Arsenal's strongest defensive area, the offense quickly hit the wings, and William used his excellent foot skills and speed on the right to test Monreal's defensive concentration.
William, who quickly received the ball, made several consecutive changes of rhythm without moving away from the defensive player in front of him. In order not to delay the opportunity, he could only pass the ball through Ivanovic to Cesc Fabregas who returned to receive the ball.
Arsenal defended well at the beginning of the second half and did not give Chelsea any chance.
Continuous passes did not create a threat. After receiving the football, Matic glanced at Cech's position and fired an angry shot about 35 meters away from the goal.
With Martin's decisiveness, he lacked Martin's accuracy.
The kicked football was powerful and heavy, but it was not suppressed. The football was far above the crossbar and flew towards the second-floor stands.
"ahahhahahaa——"
The Arsenal fans in the audience burst into sarcastic laughter, thanking Matic for helping the home team complete the clearance.
Matic, who was receiving attention at this time, spit out the saliva in his mouth on the ground, and then stepped on a few more feet before retreating to his own half, preparing to meet Arsenal's attack.
Arsenal's defensive players chose their positions too well, and their teammates were positioned very tightly, so there were no good passing opportunities at all.
If the pass is forced, there is a high probability that Arsenal will counterattack efficiently.
To avoid conceding the ball again, shooting from long range is the best way.
It's good to score goals, but there's nothing you can do about not scoring.
This...is a matter of probability.
Cech took a short goal kick from the backcourt without deliberately penetrating forward. The football gradually posed a threat to Chelsea's defense under Martin's series organization.
The attack came from the left to the right, and soon moved to the right through Martin's precise transfer.
The opportunity was not good. Martin, who was cooperating with the overall attack, quickly approached the direction where the attack was blocked through active running. He asked for the ball without stopping and directly passed the ball diagonally in a wide range. He very accurately sent the football to the other side, allowing Sanchez or Wall to pass. Kurt completed a one-on-one breakthrough.
Sanchez completed continuous inside shots while walking, but unfortunately his feet were not particularly good.
Either high or biased.
Walcott lacks space to sprint, and his insufficient footwork limits his options in one-on-one situations.
In addition to crosses, they are still crosses.
Hiddink, who was standing in the visiting team coach's command area, frowned and felt more and more pressure.
So, he turned to the players on the bench and said, "Let's all warm up."
"Do I want too?"
backup goalkeeper Begovic asked.
"Uh, you don't have to." The offense organized by Chelsea was not very threatening, and the on-site director immediately showed a close-up shot to Chelsea's bench.
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai saw that only Begovic was left on the bench and said loudly: "It seems Chelsea will make substitution adjustments first."
In the 62nd minute, Chelsea took the lead in making personnel adjustments, with Hazard replacing Mikel.
Fabregas retreated and partnered with Matic as a double midfielder. Hazard, Oscar, Willian and Diego Costa formed an offensive quartet.
Hazard came to the familiar left wing, and Martin also received the latest tactical arrangements from head coach Wenger.
There is no doubt that Azar's personal ability at this time is still quite incredible.
Premier League super dribbler!
Fabregas received the football and saw Hazard running out of the space, and he passed the football immediately.
"wuwuwuuuu——"
The overwhelming boos instantly swept through the entire Emirates Stadium.
As fans who often watch football, they naturally know that Hazard is Chelsea's most threatening player.
Hazard, who ran forward along the left sideline, wiped the football passed by Cesc Fabregas directly in.
Azpilicueta accelerated forward and Walcott followed closely, forcing Bellerin to follow him inside.
Although Bellerin's absolute speed is faster than Hazard, he can't use his strengths in the face of Hazard's deceptive feints.
Hazard, who came off the bench, showed excellent competitive form. The Chelsea fans who came with the team to the away game were ecstatic, and the loud cheers they erupted were no less than the wild boos from the home fans.
It's a pity that the number of people is at an absolute disadvantage, otherwise it is really possible to have a battle.
At this moment, a red figure suddenly appeared in Hazard's dribbling route.
Hazard, who was slightly panicked, had a very quick conditioned reflex. He subconsciously stretched out his right foot and used the inside of his instep to dunk the football to the left front.
As soon as he completed the technical movement, he saw Martin's body retreating to the right from the corner of his eye, which was exactly the direction of his breakthrough.
So Hazard, who is skilled at his feet, quickly took two steps, crossed the steps, made full use of the flexibility of his ankle, and suddenly pushed the ball back with the outstretched outer instep of his right foot.
This trick has been tried and tested in the past few Premier League seasons.
Hazard is confident enough to easily complete the breakthrough.
Unexpectedly, Martin, who was retreating, suddenly took a step forward without warning. His left foot that naturally stretched out was lightning fast and intercepted the moment Hazard had just dialed the ball.
It's like the two of them are at odds.
But such an opponent is obviously at a disadvantage for Hazard.
Because Martin stepped forward and stretched his right leg to intercept, his center of gravity was on his supporting left foot.
Hazard had just finished playing the ball with the outside of his right foot, which meant that his center of gravity was completely on his right foot, and his upper body continued to tilt to the right due to the inertia.
As a result, Azar, whose center of gravity was unstable, fell to the ground.
The nearby Chelsea players all raised their hands excitedly, indicating that Martin had committed a foul.
Referee Michael Oliver saw clearly that Martin's steal was very beautiful.
He was half-bent with a solemn expression, pointing his right index finger at the football.
The meaning is obvious, that is, if you touch the football, there is no foul.
Martin is a professional player. He knows that he must listen to the whistle in everything, and he moves cleanly. He directly passes the ball to Giroud who runs towards his own center circle.
I saw Giroud turning his back after receiving the ball, using his strong body to resist Terry's attack, and then passed the ball directly to the unmanned offensive left.
Terry's opportunity to knock down Giroud was too late. Referee Michael Oliver saw Giroud's passing defense approaching Arsenal at high speed and raised his hands forward, indicating that the offensive game would continue.
"Alexis Sanchez!"
Sky commentator Andy Gray looked at Sanchez as he appeared on the broadcast screen, his voice rising an octave.
Previously, Hazard's appearance as a substitute brought a signal to strengthen the attack. Azpilicueta and Ivanovic pressed forward very much, which resulted in only two central defenders and Matic in the middle and backfield.
Terry, who committed the foul, knew that his speed was his shortcoming and did not rush forward to defend recklessly. He quickly retreated.
Ramsey drove forward at high speed along the middle. Walcott and Bellerin, who were assisting in the defense in the backcourt, were like running a [-]-meter race. One after another, they headed towards the right rib and right side respectively like electric engines. Lu Gaoshi participated in the attack.
Chelsea players Matic, Cesc Fabregas and Zouma moved to the middle according to the defensive strategy, guarding the center and playing wide.
Terry is also 35 years old, and his speed and explosive power have declined seriously. It will be very difficult to defend Sanchez alone. Zuma is ready to make up for the defense.
Therefore, Chelsea's only players who are truly defensive in the middle are Matic and Fabregas.
Willian, Ivanovic, Azpilicueta, and Oscar are still returning to defense at high speed, but they are still far away from Sanchez who is holding the ball...
Hiddink, standing in the visiting team coach's command area, felt strong dissatisfaction.
As Sanchez passed by the center line at high speed and caught up with Giroud's diagonal pass, it became more and more intense.
"aoaoaoooooo—"
The Arsenal fans in the audience were particularly excited and gave out deafening roars.
Sanchez stopped and dribbled the ball at high speed towards Terry, who was fighting and retreating.
The distance between the two was getting closer and closer. Chelsea captain Terry noticed from the corner of his eye that Zuma was ready to cover up the defense and decisively chose to get closer to Sanchez who was holding the ball.
Sanchez, who is experienced in the game, happened to use the inside of the instep of his right foot to smash the ball to the left front at this moment, breaking through from the outside of Terry.
Terry, who stepped forward to defend, immediately realized that the situation was not good. Sanchez's outward spike meant that he would increase his defensive coverage area, but having already stepped forward meant there was no way out. He used his inertia to shovel over.
Sanchez is now 27 years old. His speed, explosive power, game experience, and physical confrontation are all at the peak of his career. His subconscious reaction is quite fast. He pokes the ball forward with the tip of his left foot, then jumps up and avoids Terry. Experienced dropkick for two.
"John Terry! Didn't make the tackle!"
BBC commentator Lineker said impassionedly.
Zuma, who was on defense, naturally did not dare to be as stupid as the captain. He quickly retreated and kept a safe distance from Sanchez.
Be prepared to do whatever you want from the outside as long as the opponent doesn't cut inside.
The pressure on Matic and Fabregas increased instantly. As Terry fell to the ground and tackled without hitting anyone or making a clearance, it meant that they would have to defend Ramsey and Walcott who were advancing at high speed.
In addition, there is Bellerin running desperately on the outside.
Sanchez, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, came to the front of the left corner of the penalty area in an instant, and he slowed down slightly.
Ramsey, who always kept running at full speed, moved forward from the top of the penalty area towards the left rib of the penalty area, leading Matic to the outside.
Walcott on the right rib ran towards the top of the penalty area, causing Fabregas, who was defending in the center, to feel very uncomfortable.
Because out of the corner of his eye, he saw Arsenal's most threatening man approaching Walcott at a speed visible to the naked eye...
At this moment, Sanchez, who seemed to be slowing down and getting ready to break through, suddenly passed the ball.
The arch of his left foot quickly passed the ball sideways to the top area of the penalty area.
"Theo Walcott!"
The running direction of Walcott who appeared on the broadcast screen was exactly where Sanchez's pass landed.
Fabregas subconsciously pushes forward to narrow the distance from his former teammate and increase the probability of the flesh-and-blood body blocking.
Unexpectedly, Walcott, who was running at high speed, raised his right foot the moment before he touched the ball and let the ball pass...
A red figure jumped out from the lower right side of the broadcast screen, and the huge Arabic numeral [9] displayed on the back of the jersey was particularly clear.
"Martin!!!"
the Xinying Sports commentator blurted out.
The Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium suddenly became excited and raised their arms high.
Obviously be prepared to celebrate in advance!
In their opinion, Martin is the most reliable shooting machine!
After adjusting his footwork, Martin stood with his left foot in the top circle of the penalty area and swung his right foot towards the football rolling towards the ground.
Goalkeeper Courtois quickly moved from the near corner to the center, watching with breathless concentration as Martin's shot touched the ball.
Boom~
The football kicked out by Martin was so powerful that it passed one meter in front of Cesc Fabregas who was blocking the corner at high speed and headed towards the upper right corner of the goal with an unstoppable force.
Courtois, who had just reached the middle of the goal line, heard a muffled sound and threw his whole body violently. However, the potential energy of his body had not ended yet, and his hands had not yet been fully opened. The football kicked by Martin was already hanging directly on the goal. Upper right corner...

Walcott on the right rib ran towards the top of the penalty area, causing Fabregas, who was defending in the center, to feel very uncomfortable.
Because out of the corner of his eye, he saw Arsenal's most threatening man approaching Walcott at a speed visible to the naked eye...
At this moment, Sanchez, who seemed to be slowing down and getting ready to break through, suddenly passed the ball.
The arch of his left foot quickly passed the ball sideways to the top area of the penalty area.
"Theo Walcott!"
The running direction of Walcott who appeared on the broadcast screen was exactly where Sanchez's pass landed.
Fabregas subconsciously pushes forward to narrow the distance from his former teammate and increase the probability of the flesh-and-blood body blocking.
Unexpectedly, Walcott, who was running at high speed, raised his right foot the moment before he touched the ball and let the ball pass...
A red figure jumped out from the lower right side of the broadcast screen, and the huge Arabic numeral [9] displayed on the back of the jersey was particularly clear.
"Martin!!!"
the Xinying Sports commentator blurted out.
The Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium suddenly became excited and raised their arms high.
Obviously be prepared to celebrate in advance!
In their opinion, Martin is the most reliable shooting machine!
After adjusting his footwork, Martin stood with his left foot in the top circle of the penalty area and swung his right foot towards the football rolling towards the ground.
Goalkeeper Courtois quickly moved from the near corner to the center, watching with breathless concentration as Martin's shot touched the ball.
Boom~
The football kicked out by Martin was so powerful that it passed one meter in front of Cesc Fabregas who was blocking the corner at high speed and headed towards the upper right corner of the goal with an unstoppable force.
Courtois, who had just reached the middle of the goal line, heard a muffled sound and threw his whole body violently. However, the potential energy of his body had not ended yet, and his hands had not yet been fully opened. The football kicked by Martin was already hanging directly on the goal. Upper right corner...
