Chapter 252: Mount Tai defeated Liverpool and advanced to the EFL Cup finals
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaa——"
The football kicked by Martin hit the upper left corner of the goal, and the Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium let out hysterical shouts.
In the frenzied atmosphere, Martin, who scored the goal, turned a corner, opened his arms, and ran all the way to the camera on the sidelines, kneeling down to express the ecstasy of scoring two goals.
The Arsenal players on the court were obviously affected by the fanatical atmosphere, and they all ran wildly towards Martin, who scored twice.
"Martin again!"
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray had just finished his long voice and continued to shout: "He helped Arsenal expand the score in the 69th minute of the game! Leading the visiting Chelsea 2:0! If no accidents occur, Arsenal will It’s very possible to get three points at home!”
At the same time, Chelsea players are still complaining about Hazard being kicked down by Martin, claiming that the goal was fouled and must be cancelled.
Michael Oliver, who blew the whistle to indicate that the goal was valid, had no time to deal with the complaining Chelsea players and instead ran towards their captain John Terry.
Earlier, near Arsenal's half-circle arc, Terry swept down Giroud who completed the pass with his back.
yellow card!
The live director immediately restored the process of the wonderful goal.
It started with Martin's wonderful interception of the ball from Hazard's feet.
Through the broadcast, it can be clearly seen that Martin's movements were clean and that Hazard's fall was entirely affected by inertia.
The Chelsea fans who were still cursing before saw this and scratched the back of their heads in embarrassment.
Immediately afterwards, the director switched to a far-end shot with Martin as the focus.
Martin, who completed a direct pass to Giroud, started to accelerate, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, he narrowed the gap with Ramsey and Walcott, who were more than ten meters ahead.
That kind of intense speed caused countless fans watching the live game on TV to subconsciously exclaim.
CTMD is too fast!
When Sanchez passed Terry and brought the ball to the left corner of the penalty area at high speed, Martin was less than two meters away from the extremely fast Walcott.
Then he turned right.
Sanchez also passed the ball to the center with his left foot. Walcott gave the ball tacitly, and Martin, who had slowed down, adjusted his pace.
The left foot supports the body, and the right foot hits the middle and lower part of the football hard with the instep.
The football shot up from the ground with a crisp muffled sound and hit the upper right corner of the goal at lightning speed.
At this time, Chelsea's new goalkeeper Courtois had just stretched his body to make a save...
However, it was too late.
"Wonderful cooperation! Efficient and quick counterattack! The 18th goal in the Premier League this season!"
Lux sports commentator Zhan Jun shouted loudly and magnetically: "Martin has expanded his advantage in the scorer list! You must know that he only plays a defensive midfielder with great forward penetration to participate in the offense, commonly known as B2B! It is difficult to Super performance of confidence!”
The on-site director was very considerate of the fans watching the live game and gave wonderful shots of goals from different angles.
The counterattack is pleasing to the eye, and the cooperation is full of viewing pleasure. Martin's final shot is even more powerful, which is simply the ultimate interpretation of the aesthetics of violence.
Even in one of the replays given, you can see that the lens placed in the upper right corner of the goal net to capture the wonderful moment was hit hard by the football, causing some fans watching the live game to feel like they were struck in the face by the football. visual sense.
Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger already knew the next result when he saw Martin running to the shooting location, so he just clapped his hands lightly when he saw the goal.
It’s just an idea that keeps popping into my brain.
Push Martin to the midfielder position.
Get closer to the goal and you may score more goals!
But thinking about the positional prerequisites will waste Martin's super defensive ability, and also expose some problems on the defensive end.
Not long after, an idea struck him.
Teams that are equally matched or even stronger can play as a defensive midfielder. Against weaker teams, Martin can be used as an attacking midfielder!
"Just do it!"
Wenger had a new strategy, and Chelsea coach Hiddink couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
The game has reached 10 minutes, trailing by two goals, and it is an away game again.
He really couldn't see the team's hope of equalizing the score.
Even shrinking will be difficult.
Before the game restarted, the broadcast screen showed Chelsea stars Diego Costa, Hazard, Cesc Fabregas, Matic, Willian...
Every player looked depressed, obviously extremely disappointed with the past games.
In addition, there is no absolute opportunity created until now in the game.
They didn't believe they could equalize the score in the remaining 10 minutes when their physical fitness dropped significantly.
Hazard, who scored a goal after Martin intercepted the ball and counterattacked, had his hands on his hips and felt very bad.
I thought that if I came off the bench and had the physical advantage, I could rush on Martin's side, but... Martin still has plenty of physical energy.
Defense, anticipation, reaction, etc. are all at their best.
How to kick this...?
Chelsea fans are also quite confused.
I thought that the magical coach Hiddink would at least lead the team to escape from the away game.
did not expect……
There were very few chances throughout the game, but Arsenal seized two opportunities that were not opportunities and scored two goals.
"beep~"
Michael Oliver blew his whistle to signal the game to restart.
Chelsea, who won the right to kick off the ball, tried to strengthen their offense, but faced Arsenal's tough defense and it was no good at all.
Hazard is Chelsea's most threatening point on the offensive end, but he has cast a shadow on Martin and does not dare to act recklessly in Martin's defense zone.
The time soon came to 10 and 2 minutes, and the scoreboard still showed 0:[-].
Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, Arsenal began to make two consecutive substitutions.
Cazorla replaces Ramsey and Chamberlain replaces Theo Walcott.
It didn't take long for Chelsea to make substitution adjustments, and they still played all two cards.
Remy replaces Oscar and Chike replaces William.
"Hiddink's substitutions are still more defensive."
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai said: "After falling behind by two goals, we should replace defensive players with offensive players. To be honest, William performed well throughout the game and made great contributions on both offense and defense. It's a pity..."
There was less and less time left in the game, and Martin consciously slowed down the offensive pace.
With the ball at your feet, the main goal is to control the consumption of game time. The defense retreats to the 30-meter area and waits for counterattack opportunities.
Sanchez is still physically fit and seems to have endless energy.
Chamberlain, who came off the bench, had just come on the field and was very fit and fast.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, can completely bring disaster to Chelsea when switching from defense to offense.
If Chamberlain hadn't received Martin's long pass and missed Courtois with a single shot, the score shown on the scoreboard would have changed.
"It's understandable why Hiddink doesn't dare to make a desperate move."
The on-site director showed a close-up shot of Chamberlain, who was holding his head in frustration. Lex Sports commentator Zhan Jun laughed and said: "If pure defensive players are replaced and offensive players are blindly added, Chelsea will most likely continue to concede goals."
With this situation of being infinitely close to losing the ball, the thinking of defensive players and offensive players became inconsistent.
The frontcourt players want to strengthen the offense and narrow the point difference, while the defensive players do not seek merit but no fault.
Arsenal, who were leading the score, always focused on controlling the game. Until the end of 4 minutes of injury time, neither side scored a goal.
In the end, Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium with Martin's two goals in the first and second half.
With three points, Arsenal's lead in the standings has returned to 13 points.A close-up of Martin's face once again appeared on the broadcast.
There is no doubt that Martin, who scored two goals, became the best player in the game.
A focus game ended later at the London Bowl. West Ham, which has been robbing the rich and giving to the poor this season, once again succeeded in robbing the rich at home.
A 2:2 draw at home against visiting Manchester City.
With this draw, Manchester City, which topped the list with five consecutive wins at the beginning of the season, is already a full 16 points behind Arsenal, the leader.
The current trend in the British media is that Arsenal are infinitely optimistic about regaining the league title after 11 seasons.
Of course, many media prefixed it with mentioning that Martin can play healthy until the end of the season.
Otherwise, there are still some surprises in the Premier League with 15 rounds left.
The media supporting Arsenal took this opportunity to call again for the Premier League to continue to protect Martin the same way La Liga protects Messi, otherwise it will be a loss for the entire Premier League and even world football.
Arsenal stars such as Bergkamp, Vieira, Henry, Pires and others are also taking the lead on social media, hoping that Premier League referees can impose the death penalty for fouls involving bright studs on the back, rear and front!
There was no mention of special care, but all fans knew what the Arsenal star wanted to express.
There are so many gun fans around the world who have @Premier League Referees Committee.
The Premier League has not made any official response, but according to the authoritative football media "The Times", the Premier League Referees Committee will meet at the end of the month to decide whether fouls that hurt players should be punished more severely.
The person involved, Martin, also had to prepare for the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals with the team, so he had no extra time to focus on social media and external reports.
2:0 at home in the first round does not mean early advancement.
Four days later, Arsenal visited Anfield again.
European mainstream media are paying close attention to this game.
In addition to the gimmick of strong dialogue, the two sides ended up with a score of 3:3 in the league half a month ago, with Martin passing and shooting.
If Koscielny hadn't sent a point at the end, two yellows turned into one red, causing Arsenal, who were chasing three from two, to be timid at the last minute and could only accept a draw.
In addition, conceding two goals in the first 10 minutes also affected Arsenal's deployment, so that game has no reference value.
Therefore, many media are quite optimistic about Arsenal's away trip.
Liverpool fans know that they should encourage their beloved team. They actively speak on social media and always believe that Liverpool sitting at Anfield is invincible.
Arsenal fans stood up at this time and laughed at Liverpool fans.
[If you don’t win, you won’t win. Anyway, a draw means we advance. 】
[Hahaha~ The toilet is so funny, it’s such a happy decision!Shake hands and make peace! 】
[Then why are you working so hard?Anyway, we missed the chance to advance, so a draw would be the best result. 】
……
So, the Liverpool fans who cried stupidly said: "..."
At [-]pm last night, the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals ended at Goodison Park.
Everton defeated Manchester City 2:1 at home, but was eliminated with a total score of 3:4.
In other words, Manchester City took the lead in advancing to the 2015-2016 EFL Cup final.
At 1 pm on January 27, another EFL Cup semi-final second-leg contest begins at Anfield Stadium.
Liverpool once again faced the challenge of Arsenal at home. Head coach Klopp still started the game as he did in the 3:3 draw with Arsenal at home half a month ago, hoping to score first and then just keep kicking.
Wait for the opportunity to expand the score, equalize the total score, and reverse!
Unexpectedly, Martin, who has been in hot form recently, helped Arsenal take the lead in the 3rd minute of the game.
Sanchez took a corner kick from the left, and Martin jumped high in the penalty area. He overturned Lovren and Kolo Toure in mid-air like a god descending from heaven, twisted his waist and swung his abdomen, and completed a powerful header!
The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
Mignolet, who was standing in the middle of the goal, didn't even react...
Martin fell back to the ground with his head high and his chest high, showing his domineering attitude!
The frenetic atmosphere at Anfield was reduced to a minimum at this moment.
"The overwhelming pressure! Martin helped Arsenal break the deadlock first, 1:0!! The total score is 3:0 ahead!!"
Lux Sports commentator Zhan Jun said loudly: "If Liverpool still wants to advance to the English League Cup finals this season, they must score four goals in the remaining game time and cannot concede any more goals! There is no doubt...the next game It’s hard for them!”
Martin, who scored the goal, pointed to the Arsenal fans in the corner of the stadium, opened his right hand and put it behind his ear, as if listening.
"Martin!"
"Martin!!"
"Martin!!!"
The Arsenal fans obviously knew how to do it, and they immediately burst into deafening roars.
Wenger, who was sitting in the visiting team's coaching bench, stood up and high-fived his assistants Williams and Bold to celebrate the opening goal.
They all know what this goal means.
In the home team coach's command area not far away, Klopp, who was frowning, closed his eyes in pain. He knew... that the possibility of completing a super reversal at home was infinitely close to zero.
As a well-known head coach in the Bundesliga, Klopp did not want to admit defeat easily, but the process of the game has completely developed in the opposite direction as expected before the game, and it is irreversible.
Fighting to the death is futile, and there is no way to change the outcome.
Ranked 34th in the league with 7 points, 8 points away from the Champions League, and with 15 rounds left in the league, it is not impossible.
The next best thing is only 2 points away from the Europa League.
He couldn't help but wonder, should he give up the EFL Cup and focus on the League and FA Cup?
There is still a long way to go before the end of the season, and it is obviously irrational to stick to a fruitless process.
So Klopp sat back in the dugout and left the game to his players to perform.
Wenger keenly noticed that Liverpool players no longer had a strong desire to score goals when the game restarted, and Klopp next door no longer showed inflammatory body movements.
He probably guessed that Klopp had completely given up on the EFL Cup.
In fact, it's normal to think about it. If you concede one goal at home first, if you want to reverse, you must score four goals in a row without conceding a goal.
The possibility of this is too low.
Klopp, who took over midway, still needs to take care of the seventh-ranked league, and three days later it is the fourth round of the FA Cup.
With double matches in a row, there must be some trade-offs.
During the game, Martin didn't need Wenger's gestures on the sidelines to notice that the Liverpool players were vaguely planning to give up the game. He also followed the flow and controlled the game through patient passing.
Four days later, they will also face the FA Cup.
When the time comes to February, if we can advance to the next round of the FA Cup, it will mean that there will be the league, the fifth round of the FA Cup, the League Cup final and the first leg of the Champions League 5/1 finals.
The schedule is very tight!
Martin himself has enough physical fitness, but his teammates may not.
Taking into account the results of various events throughout the season, it is necessary to ensure that the physical fitness of the entire team is within a qualified range.
The two teams seemed to have reached some kind of agreement, and the second goal didn't occur until the end of the game.
Lovren took advantage of the corner kick and headed Lallana's corner kick into Ospina's guarded goal.
1: 1.
Although they failed to win the game, Arsenal still won the game 2:0 at home and advanced with a total score of 3:1 to join Manchester City in the final of this season's EFL Cup.
