Chapter 285 Even the black whistler can’t stop the desire to score goals!
In the 2015th round of the 2016-37 Premier League season, the most eye-catching match was undoubtedly Manchester City VS Arsenal.
The home team Manchester City must not only retain their place in the Champions League next season, but also avoid becoming a stepping stone for Arsenal to hit the Premier League points record. Therefore, this powerful dialogue attracted a lot of attention before the game.
The game means a lot for Manchester City, but also for Arsenal.
However, Arsenal will have physical problems after playing the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals in midweek. Head coach Wenger also mentioned in an interview with the media that he will give the main players a chance to rest in the remaining three league games.
Although they will not play the rest of the league with one set of starters, there are still a lot of British media reports on the possibility of Arsenal hitting the Premier League championship points record and the first [-]-point championship in England's top league.
Secondly, Martin is still 69 times away from the 5 direct participation goals created by Messi.
With two rounds of the league and one make-up match, Martin, who is in hot form, has a very high possibility.
It's just that except for the British media who are full of confidence in Martin, the media led by the Western media believe that it is only theoretically possible for Martin to surpass Messi, and the probability is not high.
Because, they will visit the Etihad Stadium and Old Trafford successively.
It will be very difficult for Martin to get enough goals and assists from the Manchester City duo.
That's why once you perform well, it will be a gold-rich record!
The kind that shocks the past and the present!
And if Martin scores enough goals and assists, Arsenal will also have a great possibility of setting a record.
In addition, the peak showdown between Manchester City and Arsenal is also known as a key battle in the battle for the season's top scorer.
After 36 rounds of the league, Martin ranked first in the scorer list with 26 goals, and Aguero tied for third with Vardy with 24 goals.
From a scoring perspective, whoever scores more goals will have a greater probability of winning.
Before the game, Aguero was full of confidence in an interview with the media, claiming that with De Bruyne behind him to deliver cannonballs, it is very possible to surpass Martin to top the scorer list...
Arsenal fans sneered and ridiculed this.
Fortunately, Aguero did not have the habit of surfing the Internet before the game, otherwise he might be angered by the outspoken Arsenal fans.
……
At 55097pm on Sunday, the Etihad Stadium, which can accommodate up to [-] fans, was already full, excluding the necessary isolation seats, an hour before the start of the game.
Players from the home team are always greeted with deafening shouts, while players from the away team are met with overwhelming boos as they warm up.
Martin is Arsenal's best player, and the treatment he receives is the most booing in line with his status.
He has long been accustomed to this kind of treatment.
The more capable players go to the visiting team, and whoever receives the louder boos means who the home fans fear the most.
Players from both sides of the match began to warm up, and in accordance with international practice, the starting lineups submitted by the two teams to the Premier League were quickly distributed.
The home team Manchester City still uses the usual 4231 formation.
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart
Defenders: Clichy, Otamendi, Kompany, Sagna
Defenders: Fernando, Fernandinho
Midfielder: Sterling, De Bruyne, Jesus
Forward: Aguero
……
Arsenal, who made the rotation, also arranged a 4231 formation.
Goalkeeper: Ospina
Defenders: Gibbs, Koscielny, Chambers, Bellerin
Midfielder: Martin, Elneny
Midfielders: Sanchez, Wilshere, Iwobi
Forward: Theo Walcott
……
Pellegrini, who got Arsenal's starting lineup, did not take it lightly. On the contrary, he paid special attention to it.
Arsenal, which has already won the championship in advance, still sends its main players in key positions, and also has Martin to coordinate the midfield. Even if it is at home, it will be difficult to win.
At the same time, De Bruyne, who was warming up with the ball on the court, consciously paid attention to the movements of his friend Martin.
Seeing Martin showing excellent competitive condition, my heart couldn't help but tighten.
"Shouldn't it be?"
Thinking of this, De Bruyne quickly shook his head and threw the bad idea away.
Sitting at the Etihad Stadium at home, based on what was learned before the game, Arsenal will most likely make adjustments to the lineup, which means that the lineup is not neat.
If he still can't defeat Arsenal led by Martin, he really doesn't know how to play in the future...
The warm-up time, which lasted about four and 10 minutes, was over, and the players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms.
The visiting team Arsenal did not attach great importance to the result of the game. Wenger's task was to avoid injuries as much as possible.
After all, the league has won the championship.
The home team players are under a lot of pressure. In addition to preventing Martin from performing on the offensive end, they also have to defeat Arsenal at home to ensure that they can finish fourth in the league and participate in the Champions League next season.
Pellegrini has decided to leave at the end of this season, but he is still serious about his work and wants to make this team the best possible.
A wave of winning streak at the beginning of the season was thought to be the beginning of the competition for the league championship. Unexpectedly, several consecutive rounds of losses led to a continuous decline in the points ranking. For this reason... the club's top management chose Guardiola, whose contract with Bayern expired at the end of this season.
He is not the kind of person who is good at invigorating players through fierce words and highly inflammatory words. The pre-match arrangements mainly revolve around consolidating the tactics developed before the game and making corresponding adjustments to Arsenal's starting lineup.
Things like beating chicken blood have always been left to captain Kompany and striker Aguero.
……
"beep~"
Referee Anthony Telles pointed his finger at the penalty spot, and the home fans cheered hysterically at the Etihad Stadium.
"what?"
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai exclaimed: "Anthony Taylor actually awarded a penalty kick? It was obviously a good goal..."
The Arsenal players in the penalty area suddenly became excited and signaled to Anthony Taylor that Sterling's fall was completely a dive!
However, the referee Anthony Taylor was obviously very confident in his decision. He stood there with a calm face and pointed his right index finger firmly at the penalty spot.
Immediately, Martin was shown a yellow card.
Martin, who stood up, glanced meaningfully at Anthony Taylor, who was somewhat a little off, grinned slightly, and said nothing.
De Bruyne, who was near the crime scene, could see it clearly, but he did not speak.
There has never been a shortage of misjudgments in football matches. There is no shortage of misjudgments in this case, and there is no shortage of misjudgments in this case. Moreover, the judgments are beneficial to the team, so there is no such thing as "taking the inside out".
Wenger, who was standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, had a gloomy face, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands high, fully expressing his strong dissatisfaction.
"wuwuwuwuwuuuu——"
Arsenal fans in the visiting team fans' gathering area booed hysterically to Anthony Taylor, who was wearing black.
It's just that the chants created by the home fans were too loud and couldn't penetrate at all, so the mighty momentum that erupted at the Etihad Stadium felt like a long-lasting huge chant.
The on-site director gave a slow-motion playback.
Fans who watched the live broadcast of the game could clearly see that Martin, who was on defense, fell to the ground and tackled very beautifully. Sterling's fall was completely affected by inertia.
"It was a good shot, but... Anthony Taylor didn't think so."
Jin frowned at Kai.
"Miscarriage of justice! It's a complete miscarriage of justice."
Sky commentator Andy Gray was thrilled.
Wilshere once again tried to persuade the referee to withdraw his life, but ended up receiving a yellow card.
As a result, the Arsenal players completely lost their temper.
Aguero's penalty kick was of great power and angle, even if Ospina guessed the right direction, there was nothing he could do...
"The ball is in!"
"In the 8th minute of the game, Aguero kicked the penalty kick created by Sterling into the goal guarded by Ospina!"
"This is Aguero's 25th goal this season! He is tied with Tottenham player Harry Kane and tied for second in the scorer list, only behind Martin, who is at the top of the list, with only the last goal left."
Jin Xiangkai, who re-entered the state of commentating the game, said impassionedly.
Etihad Stadium.
The excited home fans shouted hysterically for Aguero's goal, creating a long-lasting momentum like a mountain roar and a tsunami, and the entire stadium was rendered into a blue ocean of joy.
Manchester City players celebrated the goal wildly, and Martin, who was at the top of the penalty area, encouraged his teammates.
Now Martin is not only the core of tactics, but also the backbone of the team. His positive actions will bring great encouragement to his teammates.
Being behind in the score has become a reality. According to Martin, the goal is to create better scoring opportunities in the next game and then seize the opportunity!
The on-site director showed Martin a close-up shot. Many fans watching the game saw Martin taking the initiative to encourage his teammates, and they became more and more fond of this low-key, diligent, leadership and talented young player.
"wuwuuwuuuuuuu——"
Arsenal lost the ball and automatically got a kick-off opportunity, and the boos from the Etihad Stadium were deafening.Professional players have long been accustomed to this situation, and it is difficult to affect their state of mind.
With Martin coordinating the whole game, the players were full of confidence.
The team has yet to lose since Martin arrived.
Such results give every Arsenal player absolute confidence.
No matter how the game starts, Arsenal will end up undefeated!
Of course, they also know that goals will not be easy in the game and they need to go all out.
Before kicking off again, Martin gave a general idea and won the approval of the whole team. Therefore, everyone was high-spirited, actively ran, and involved Manchester City's defensive system through back-and-forth passing and cutting cooperation.
The double defensive midfielder formed by Fernando and Fernandinho seems to be very strong, but actually has quite a few shortcomings.
After multiple passes, the football was once again given to Wilshere in the middle. He handled the ball very coquettishly. He stepped on the ball with his right foot and pulled it back. Fernando, who was trying to grab it, missed it.
De Bruyne, who is always paying attention to Martin's movements, cheered up.
But Martin had anticipated it before Wilshere passed the ball, so while facing the football, his center of gravity tilted to the left front, and his left shoulder sank greatly, which caused De Bruyne to subconsciously think that Martin was going to complete a consecutive stop. Pass.
Unexpectedly, Martin, who had just turned a small corner and made a gesture to meet the ball and pass it, did not spike the ball with the inside of the instep of his right foot when he touched the ball. Instead, he made full use of the flexibility of his ankle to stop the ball in place, and then used the outside of his right foot to stop the ball. The instep moves the ball in the direction of De Bruyne.
"Fake, you were deceived again!"
De Bruyne, whose center of gravity had tilted, could only helplessly move the ball to the right.
Fernandinho didn't have any extra time to think, so he took two steps forward.
Martin took the ball one step forward and quickly passed the ball to the front left, passing it to Wilshere who advanced behind Fernando.
Fernandinho, who had just taken two steps, had to defend Wilshere who had left Fernando behind.
He has a wide field of vision, and from the corner of his eye, he can see that Jesus, who is actively adducting, is still some distance away from Wilshere. It will be a great thing for Wilshere, who used to have the title of "Arsenal Prince", to easily get the ball. Very troublesome thing.
Arsenal's most threatening player is Martin, but...Martin is not the only one who poses a threat.
There was no time to think, so he turned a corner and pounced on Wilshere, who received the pass from Martin in the middle and adjusted his steps.
Fernandinho stepped forward with two lunges, his hands behind his back, intending to use his body to block the shot that was about 30 meters away from the goal.
Wilshere faked a shot and passed the ball with the outside of his right foot.
"Martin!"
Sky commentator Andy Gray's voice suddenly rose an octave higher.
Left center back Kompany, who had predicted in advance, pushed out. He had a hunch that Martin, who received the ball, would definitely take advantage of the situation and take a long shot.
However, how could Martin's thoughts be easily guessed?
During the process of speeding up, Martin raised his right foot and kicked the outside instep towards the middle and lower part of the left side of the football rolling close to the ground, touching the ball in a 'slicing' way.
The football that shot up from the ground passed over the head of Kompany, who stepped forward to defend and jumped subconsciously, and fell into the space behind him.
Iwobi, who penetrated diagonally from the right side of the attack to the front of the right penalty area, appeared in Martin's passing route.
Behind him is Clichy, who is in serious decline.
Just when Iwobi was about to cut into the penalty area, Arsenal's old player Clichy hooked Iwobi from behind who had just entered the penalty area with the ball.
The football was held firmly in the arms of Joe Hart, who was tangled up before attacking.
The next moment, everyone's focus was on Anthony Taylor, who awarded Manchester City a penalty kick 3 minutes ago.
The international referee, one of the famous "Fantastic Four" of the Premier League, shouted the whistle and crossed his hands to indicate that there was no foul.
Iwobi, who fell in the penalty area, hammered the ground angrily, then stood up excitedly and shouted at Anthony Taylor: "Why? Why??"
In an instant, Anthony Taylor felt that his authority had been challenged. He decisively stopped the game, took out a yellow card from his pocket and warned Iwobi.
Martin quickly grabbed Iwobi who was about to say something else: "Don't be impulsive. If you pass the ball like just now, as long as you run into position, I can deliver it to you. But if you are sent off with a red card, that won't happen." opportunity, do you understand?"
"calm down!"
Sanchez also ran over and pushed the angry Iwobi back while pointing his fingers at his temples.
"Okay, I understand."
Iwobi looked at Martin and nodded.
Later, the on-site director restored the contact between Chrissy and Iwobi.
Through slow-motion replay, Clichy indeed hooked Iwobi's right foot behind him while running.
The moment of physical contact between the two was also in the penalty area.
"This is really a huge misjudgment!"
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkailang said: "To put it inappropriately, Anthony Taylor's two penalties in the first 12 minutes were very problematic. Martin's very exciting tackle in the penalty area was awarded a penalty kick. Rishi obviously tackled Iwobi who entered the penalty area but turned a blind eye."
"No matter what the final result of this game is, I can guarantee that Anthony Taylor will definitely become the best protagonist of this game."
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said solemnly: "This is not a situation that should exist in a peak matchup, but the game started not long ago, and there is still a lot of time left for Anthony Taylor to adjust. If there are still controversial penalties, I think... the Premier League Referees Committee should investigate this bald referee."
When Wenger came to the technical area where the visiting team coach commanded, he shrugged his shoulders again and looked at the referee Anthony Taylor with an indignant look.
Fans who watched the game live took to social media to blast Anthony Taylor for his poor call.
[Damn, is this too dark? 】
【Black whistle!Keep an eye on Anthony Taylor! ! 】
[At first glance, this bastard is not a good guy. The only one who can make Nana look so bad is her bald head. 】
[Brothers, join me in cursing the prairie above Anthony Taylor. 】
[Curse the prairie above Anthony Taylor’s head! 】
【+10086】
……
Clichy's hook against Iwobi could be clearly seen from several consecutive angles. Andy Gray said solemnly: "No wonder there are calls for the VAR system to go online. If FIFA can promote it, the number of major misjudgements will be It will be significantly reduced.”
Arsenal players did not rush back into the half-space, but stayed in the frontcourt and defended stylishly high.
The current Manchester City is not the Blue Moon team coached by Guardiola who will take over next season. The foot skills of the midfield and backfield players are not excellent. Facing Arsenal's large-scale pressing in the midfield and frontcourt, they have to resort to big-footed clearance.
Aguero, who is at the front, is seriously short of height, and it is difficult to grab the spot when facing the double central defenders composed of Koscielny and Chambers.
Koscielny got on the body, forcing Aguero to be unable to take off, and the ball was taken by Chambers who was behind.
Arsenal started to organize the attack from the backcourt. After receiving the football, Martin directly used the change of rhythm to move the ball to the right front in the face of De Bruyne's defense. Sterling fell to the ground and put down the tackle half a beat slower.
Immediately afterwards, he played wonderful cooperation with Wilshere, Walcott and Iwobi on the right.
"wowoowoooooo—"
Manchester City fans subconsciously screamed in surprise above the auditorium.
Martin, who was about 28 meters away from the goal on the right side of the attack, stopped and hit the football passed back by Walcott. The kicked football was like a cannonball, flying towards the upper right corner of the goal with an unstoppable momentum.
Joe Hart, who moved towards the near corner of the goal, fully took off and jumped out with his body.
"Bang~"
The powerful and heavy football hit the intersection between the right goal post and the crossbar, making a huge collision sound.
Clichy, who followed the reverse cut into the penalty area, realized it later and used a faster reaction to get ahead of Iwobi and push the shot that bounced in front of the goal out of the baseline.
"Manchester City dodged a bullet!"
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai shouted: "The stability of the Etihad Stadium prevented Martin's long-range shot!"
"Oh My God!"
Sky commentator Andy Gray's voice rose an octave: "Didn't make it!!"
"Goalpost! Saved Manchester City!"
BBC commentator Lineker Lang said.
The on-site director immediately gave a wonderful replay, and fans watching the live broadcast once again experienced Martin's superb long-range shooting skills.
The football he kicked was full of power and the angle was right.
If the angle had been further inside, Joe Hart would have had no chance.
What a pity!
This... is what the vast majority of fans who watched the game live thought in their minds.

Through slow-motion replay, Clichy indeed hooked Iwobi's right foot behind him while running.
The moment of physical contact between the two was also in the penalty area.
"This is really a huge misjudgment!"
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkailang said: "To put it inappropriately, Anthony Taylor's two penalties in the first 12 minutes were very problematic. Martin's very exciting tackle in the penalty area was awarded a penalty kick. Rishi obviously tackled Iwobi who entered the penalty area but turned a blind eye."
"No matter what the final result of this game is, I can guarantee that Anthony Taylor will definitely become the best protagonist of this game."
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said solemnly: "This is not a situation that should exist in a peak matchup, but the game started not long ago, and there is still a lot of time left for Anthony Taylor to adjust. If there are still controversial penalties, I think... the Premier League Referees Committee should investigate this bald referee."
When Wenger came to the technical area where the visiting team coach commanded, he shrugged his shoulders again and looked at the referee Anthony Taylor with an indignant look.
Fans who watched the game live took to social media to blast Anthony Taylor for his poor call.
[Damn, is this too dark? 】
【Black whistle!Keep an eye on Anthony Taylor! ! 】
[At first glance, this bastard is not a good guy. The only one who can make Nana look so bad is her bald head. 】
[Brothers, join me in cursing the prairie above Anthony Taylor. 】
[Curse the prairie above Anthony Taylor’s head! 】

……
Clichy's hook against Iwobi could be clearly seen from several consecutive angles. Andy Gray said solemnly: "No wonder there are calls for the VAR system to go online. If FIFA can promote it, the number of major misjudgements will be It will be significantly reduced.”
Arsenal players did not rush back into the half-space, but stayed in the frontcourt and defended stylishly high.
The current Manchester City is not the Blue Moon team coached by Guardiola who will take over next season. The foot skills of the midfield and backfield players are not excellent. Facing Arsenal's large-scale pressing in the midfield and frontcourt, they have to resort to big-footed clearance.
Aguero, who is at the front, is seriously short of height, and it is difficult to grab the spot when facing the double central defenders composed of Koscielny and Chambers.
Koscielny got on the body, forcing Aguero to be unable to take off, and the ball was taken by Chambers who was behind.
Arsenal started to organize the attack from the backcourt. After receiving the football, Martin directly used the change of rhythm to move the ball to the right front in the face of De Bruyne's defense. Sterling fell to the ground and put down the tackle half a beat slower.
Immediately afterwards, he played wonderful cooperation with Wilshere, Walcott and Iwobi on the right.
"wowoowoooooo—"
Manchester City fans subconsciously screamed in surprise above the auditorium.
Martin, who was about 28 meters away from the goal on the right side of the attack, stopped and hit the football passed back by Walcott. The kicked football was like a cannonball, flying towards the upper right corner of the goal with an unstoppable momentum.
Joe Hart, who moved towards the near corner of the goal, fully took off and jumped out with his body.
"Bang~"
The powerful and heavy football hit the intersection between the right goal post and the crossbar, making a huge collision sound.
Clichy, who followed the reverse cut into the penalty area, realized it later and used a faster reaction to get ahead of Iwobi and push the shot that bounced in front of the goal out of the baseline.
"Manchester City dodged a bullet!"
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai shouted: "The stability of the Etihad Stadium prevented Martin's long-range shot!"
"Oh My God!"
Sky commentator Andy Gray's voice rose an octave: "Didn't make it!!"
"Goalpost! Saved Manchester City!"
BBC commentator Lineker Lang said.
The on-site director immediately gave a wonderful replay, and fans watching the live broadcast once again experienced Martin's superb long-range shooting skills.
The football he kicked was full of power and the angle was right.
If the angle had been further inside, Joe Hart would have had no chance.
What a pity!
This... is what the vast majority of fans who watched the game live thought in their minds.
