Chapter 281: New heights in career (Happy National Day holiday to everyone~)
"The game is over! The game is over!"
Central 5 commentator He Wei saw the live broadcast showing the referee Cakir blowing two short and one long final whistles. He shouted with excitement: "The visiting team Arsenal made a contribution at Calderon with the passing and shooting of Chinese player Martin." Defeated Atletico Madrid 2:1 on the pitch!"
Immediately, a close-up shot was given to Martin, who performed extremely well.
Next, the missing Atletico Madrid players appeared on the broadcast screen.
Especially Griezmann, who missed a crucial penalty kick. He put his head in his hands and his annoyance was clearly displayed.
The Arsenal players who were victorious as a guest were very excited and hugged each other, obviously thinking that victory in this game might lead to the Champions League final!
"aoaoaooooooo—"
The Arsenal fans who traveled with the team were particularly excited, shouting at the top of their lungs, almost crazy shouts for the team to win the game.
Head coach Simeone shook his head in frustration. He thought it was an excellent opportunity to equalize the score, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
But as the soul of the team, he must magnify the situation, politely complete the handshake with the Arsenal coach and then walk into the stadium to comfort the sad players.
After all, a knockout round is a two-leg affair.
Losing at home in the first round can only mean that the probability of promotion is reduced, but it does not make the probability zero.
Besides, Arsenal can win away games, so does going to the away game in the second round also mean that we have a chance to win the game?
Football matches are full of uncertainty, what if the overall performance is better?
Thinking of this, Simeone felt much better and had more plans to appease the players.
After Martin celebrated the victory with his teammates, he took the initiative to walk towards the former Spanish golden boy, Fernando Torres, who was known as the winner in life.
Now Martin set a Premier League transfer fee record last summer and has become a well-known player in the world of football. After more than half a season of super performance, he can be said to be a top star.
Although Torres, the winner in life, was not happy about losing, the activity of exchanging jerseys still had to be carried out.
Martin could tell that Torres was in a bad mood and didn't say much. He said a few words of blessing and returned to his team to celebrate the hard-won away victory.
The on-site director gave Martin a close-up shot again.
“Last August, countless media mocked that Arsenal’s offer of 8500 million euros + 1500 million in floating clauses would become the biggest joke in world football. The season was almost over. Arsenal first won the long-lost league championship and won the first place in the Champions League semi-finals. In the away game, he almost single-handedly helped Arsenal defeat Atletico Madrid. The 19-year-old Martin will definitely surpass Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi!"
天空电视台解说员安迪·格雷激情澎湃的解说：“太强了！联赛打进26球助攻36次，欧冠7球8助攻，超高的直接参与进球效率！试问19岁的莱奥·梅西和克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多做到过吗？没有！”
He Wei, the CC5 commentator who has not yet cut off the live signal, also commented: "Almost relying on his strong personal ability to lead Arsenal to defeat the opponent, if Arsenal this season wins the championship in various competitions under the leadership of Martin, Champion, his career will reach a new height!"
"The European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer at the end of the year..."
Guest commentator Xu Yang blurted out.
The Dragon Kingdom fans watching the live game were unwilling to turn off the TV and go to sleep. They couldn't help but yearn for it while listening to Xu Yang's comments.
If Martin really leads Arsenal to win championships in various competitions this season, it is really possible to challenge Messi and Ronaldo's dominance of the World Footballer and European Golden Boy Awards!
The Arsenal players' celebration at the Calderon Stadium did not last long. They went to the visiting team's fan gathering area to thank their own fans for their full support and then returned to the visiting team's dressing room to prepare for the flight from Madrid to London tomorrow morning.
The Champions League semi-finals are two-leg knockout rounds. Defeating Atletico Madrid in the first leg as a guest only increases the probability of advancement but does not guarantee advancement.
The league has been won in advance, so there is no need to invest too much energy. The FA Cup final will be held after the league is over, which means that Wenger's team can completely focus on the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals!
Of course, in order to ensure the condition of the main players, they will not rotate all the players. Instead, some players with weaker physical conditions will be rested to prepare for the Champions League semi-finals in the middle of next week.
In a regular press conference after the game, Simeone, who was interviewed by the media, took the initiative to take responsibility for the loss in accordance with most international practices and expressed his full confidence that the players would complete the reversal in the second round.
The British media is not used to Simeone and makes all kinds of cynicism.
Simeone is not one to take offense either. He immediately responded to the Premier League team's ultra-low winning rate against La Liga teams in the Champions League, implying that Arsenal's win as a guest was an accident.
A reporter from The Times hit the nail on the head: "Luck is also a manifestation of strength. Don't forget that you can't grasp the penalty kick given to you. What reason is there to turn defeat into victory at the Emirates Stadium?"
There was a burst of laughter at the press conference.
Simeone, who was ashen-faced, was unhappy because of the loss. In order to avoid an emotional explosion and a gaffe, he directly announced the end of the post-match press conference.
Looking at Simeone walking away, a group of reporters said: "..."
Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger, who attended the regular press conference after the game, remained low-key, claiming that defeating Atletico Madrid as a guest in the first round did not mean anything. Defending the victory at home was the key to advancement.
The Spanish media were speechless about this, they were as steady as an old dog!
At noon the next day, Arsenal players arrived at London Heathrow Airport by flight. A large number of die-hard Arsenal fans came to the international arrival gate in advance to greet them, and their tacit and loud singing swept the entire airport.
If it hadn't affected the normal operation of the airport, the Arsenal players who had returned triumphantly planned to satisfy fans' wishes for photos and autographs.
It is worth mentioning that the Arsenal players who returned to London need to train normally except for those who have not played. The starting players who participated in the game have two days off and the substitutes have one day off. Then they will prepare for the 36th round of the league against Norwich at home on Sunday. .
With one game in hand, 29 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss totaled 91 points, only four points away from the 2004 points set by Chelsea in 2005-95. The record was just around the corner, and Arsenal players were eager to try.
Head coach Wenger is relatively clear-headed and knows that he cannot focus too much on creating his own record at this time.
His team does not have a deep bench. Once an important player is injured, it may cause the team to collapse in the Champions League and FA Cup finals.
But there is also a voice in my heart that reminds me repeatedly.
Leave your own legend in the Premier League before retiring...
Therefore, Wenger, who originally planned to take a rest, faced Martin's request and went smoothly. "Remember, don't get hurt."
Wenger looked at Martin with doting eyes and warned.
"Professor, don't worry. I'm not bragging. No one can hurt me this year."
Martin held his head high and beat his chest.
"You said I wasn't bragging..."
Wenger gave Martin a meaningful look, feeling a little funny in his heart, but smiled and said: "In short, good health always comes first."
If Martin knew what Wenger was thinking, he would definitely say that his body before the age of 20 is invincible!
Finally, one more thing to add.
Green field.
Closer to home, the 2015th round of the 2016-36 Premier League season took the lead at St. James' Park. Newcastle, which was in the relegation circle, defeated Crystal Palace 1:0 with Townsend's goal and gained the key three points on the road to relegation.
Subsequently, many league games kicked off.
Everton 2:1 Bournemouth
Stoke City 1:1 Sunderland
Watford 3:2 Aston Villa
West Bromwich Albion 0:3 West Ham United
Arsenal's home game against Norwich City starts at [-] pm on Sunday, which is [-] pm local time in Dragon Country, a time period that is suitable for Dragon Country fans to watch the game.
There is no doubt that tens of millions of football fans are waiting in front of TV sets or computer monitors to watch live matches.
Because, according to the given starting lineup, Martin is clearly on the list.
Before the start of this round of the league, Norwich had 34 points with Sunderland, who drew with Stoke City yesterday afternoon, ranking 18th with a goal difference disadvantage. However, their competitors in this round scored one point. In order to stay in the league, In the Premier League, the 36th round of the league at the Emirates Stadium became a must-have for them.
However, Arsenal at home was not easy to mess with, and the semi-main lineup led by Martin easily controlled the overall situation.
Take advantage of the opponent's eagerness to proactively give up possession of the ball.
Norwich coach Alex Neil knew Wenger's intentions, but he had no choice.
If they don't attack, even if they tie Arsenal, they will only tie the points, and the ranking will not change.
Including three rounds left in this game, Crystal Palace, ranked 16th, leads by five points. With fewer and fewer league games, there is no way out.
In the 29th minute of the game, Arsenal finally launched an efficient counterattack.
Mertesacker completed a header clearance in the penalty area, and Flamini, who was at the landing point, padded the ball to Martin who ran out of the space.
The Norwich defensive player pounced on the ball, but Martin protected the ball 360 degrees and turned around to block him behind him, and then accurately sent the ball to the right wing of the attack.
Iwobi, who was running at high speed, quickly crossed the center line along the right sideline and chased Martin's long pass with a certain amount of advance.
Due to their all-out attack, Norwich had very limited defensive players left behind. Facing Arsenal's lightning-fast and efficient counterattack, there was no good way to limit it.
Iwobi received the ball but did not stick to it. He directly sent a diagonal through ball. Welbeck, who came on as a substitute in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals in midweek, understood the idea in the middle. He suddenly accelerated and stood out from Norwich's back line. Take the ball to the top of the penalty area.
The Norwich defender who was left behind was still raising his hand to indicate offside, but the assistant referee saw it clearly and continued to run towards the baseline after Welbeck, who accelerated to catch the ball.
In other words...it's not offside!
Welbeck, who played alone, was very cautious and passed the ball past Rudy before hitting the empty goal.
1:0
The fanatical atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium erupted instantly.
Taking the lead at home basically means winning the game and getting closer and closer to surpassing the points record set by Chelsea!
Five minutes later, Arsenal expanded the score.
Martin received Wilshere's return ball at the front of the penalty area and passed the ball straight through, sending the ball to the right rib of the penalty area. Welbeck appeared at the spot where the football landed. After receiving the ball, Martin succeeded with a low shot into the far corner to complete the game. Open twice.
Before the end of the first half, Wilshere took a corner kick from the left. Martin, who was ambushing in the back of the penalty area, jumped high and headed the ball towards the center of the penalty area.
Mertesacker received a header from six yards in front of the goal and sent the ball into the upper left corner of the goal.
3:0
This goal is also the last goal of the game.
Martin, who contributed two assists in this game, has an exaggerated 38 assists this season and an astonishing 64 goals directly involved.
There are only five left to go before Messi’s record of 2011 direct goals scored in the 2012-69 season!
Arsenal, who have one game less, still have three games to play, and it is entirely possible to hit this amazing record!
Arsenal's points for winning the game came to 94 points, one point away from winning the championship record!
There are only three games left in the league, and the possibility of setting a record is infinitely close to 100%!
Even if they lose against the Manchester duo in consecutive guest appearances, it doesn't matter. After all, the Champions League is more important.
In the last round of the home game against Aston Villa, which has been relegated early, the possibility of winning is infinitely close to 100%. As long as we don't make mistakes by then, we will definitely set a record for points in the Premier League!

"The game is over! The game is over!"
