Chapter 287: The Patron Saint of Gunners, a personal record of the professor
"Martin!"
"Martin!!"
"Martin!!!"
In the visiting fans' gathering area at the Etihad Stadium, Arsenal's expeditionary force burst into hysterical chants.
Martin, who scored the goal, remained calm. He stood there with a smile and pulled up his right shorts with his right hand, revealing his strong thigh muscles.
Whether it was the Arsenal players on the field, the coaching staff on the bench, or the players on the bench, everyone was ecstatic deep in their hearts by Martin's shocking and violent long-range shot.
Even Wenger, who has always been steady, raised his clenched arms and cheered for Martin's wonderful long-range shot.
Countless female fans in front of the TV were mesmerized by the close-up close-up of Martin's thick right thigh muscles shown in the broadcast. Their brains couldn't help but think of a question: If the thigh muscles are so developed, they must be very powerful, right?
Arsenal fans and neutral fans were also shocked by Martin's long-range shot, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow~"
Immediately, the live director restored Arsenal's entire goal.
From the moment Martin dropped back to catch the ball, to advancing forward with the ball and passing the ball to Wilshere...
His tacit understanding of passing, cutting, and running with his teammates, and his tacit understanding of passing, cutting, and running with his teammates, outlines an almost perfect picture of the backcourt attack. Arsenal's beautiful football is also vividly displayed in this attack.
In the end, Martin actually had better options to pass the ball to Iwobi or Sanchez, but he was confident in his long-range shooting skills, and the football he kicked was full of power and the angle was perfect.
Even if Joe Hart made moves and saves immediately, he was unable to do anything and could only declare that he was beyond his reach.
When Arsenal players celebrated the go-ahead goal wildly, Manchester City players Aguero, De Bruyne, Sterling, Fernandinho, Kompany, Joe Hart and other players shook their heads and sighed.
They worked very hard, but Arsenal's attack led by Martin was so smooth that it was like mercury pouring down the ground and there was no way to start.
On the contrary, the world wave that Martin finally completed gave people a sense of deja vu.
In fact, it was not the case. It was Martin's amazing kick that knocked Joe Hart away from the goal that made this goal even more perfect.
"This is Martin's 27th league goal this season! He is two goals ahead of Harry Kane and Aguero. Arsenal has more and more chances to win the league golden boot with two league rounds left!"
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said impassionedly.
Arsenal's goal celebration did not last long. Martin, who quickly calmed down, once again sounded the alarm to his teammates, saying that they should stay highly focused and forget about the goal just now. Only the end of the game will win the final victory.
Zidane, who once again came to watch the Arsenal game, admired Martin more and more, but he knew that this young player would be the biggest obstacle to Real Madrid winning the Champions League twice in three years, so he was planning how to win the Champions League final in the future. Limitations and Countermeasures.
After watching many Arsenal games, Zidane knows that if he wants to win, he must first suppress Martin's performance, and then bypass Martin's defensive zone on the offensive end to make full use of the width of the Kew Stadium...
Not long after, the game restarted, and the score went from leading to falling behind. Manchester City played fairly maturely.
There was no rush to launch an attack, but a steady and steady attack.
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai was still immersed in Martin's wonderful goals and said very intoxicatedly: "It was only half an hour after the game started. Three goals were absolutely enjoyable for the fans in front of the TV. Martin scored the go-ahead goal. The goal of the score started from Cech, and Arsenal's beautiful offensive football was once again displayed in front of the whole world. This... is the luck of Arsenal fans, and our luck! To be able to meet someone in life who has all the qualities to become a superstar. Martin!”
The fanatical atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium dropped significantly as the home team fell behind. Only the die-hard fans cheered without sparing any effort, while the ordinary Manchester City fans sat in the auditorium depressed, frowning.
De Bruyne worked very hard and wanted to help the team equalize the score, but the defensive system led by Martin felt impregnable and there was no good space to take advantage of.
Aguero works equally hard. Although he can create opportunities with his superb footwork, he must be at the forefront to attract firepower, otherwise the offensive system will become chaotic.
Therefore, being at the front requires the full support and artillery output of teammates. Otherwise, no matter how good your running and shooting skills are, you will not be able to score goals.
Manchester City also consciously strengthened their offense, thinking of threatening Cech to guard the goal in the same way as before conceding the ball.
But the morale of the current Arsenal players has been greatly boosted. Each one of them seems to have been given a shot of blood, making up for their technical deficiencies by running without hesitation.
Pellegrini, who was standing in the technical command area of the home team coach, kept shaking his head and sighing in his heart, obviously guessing that the possibility of scoring a goal was slim.
Indeed, Arsenal's overall defense at the end of the first half was very good and did not give any chance to the Manchester City players.
Until the end of the first half, the scoreboard still showed 1:2, with the visiting team Arsenal leading.
……
Players from both sides entered the locker room, and various TV stations conducted intensive reviews of the just-concluded game.
Social media is also extremely lively at this time, with all kinds of fancy praise for Martin emerging one after another.
Including some Manchester City fans also praised Martin's performance.
Arsenal, with a semi-main lineup, visited the Etihad Stadium and was able to lead the team to complete a comeback in a game where misjudgments were common. This... is a task that many top stars find difficult to accomplish.
It is precisely because of this that we can see how powerful Martin is.
The 15-minute intermission passed quickly and players from both sides returned to the court.
Before the start of the game, Manchester City took the lead in making personnel adjustments.
Yaya Toure replaces Fernando.
The intention of this adjustment is obvious.
Step up your offense!
Whether they can defend their reputation depends on their performance in the second half.
The home team players also learned from shame and acted bravely. At the beginning, they strengthened their offense by increasing their running coverage, catching Arsenal off guard.
Fortunately, Cech was focused and made a subconscious save in front of the goal to turn the tide. Aguero ran to the penalty spot and De Bruyne sent a turning cross from the right to block the shot, trying to keep the goal.
"Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero have such a tacit understanding of each other! But it was Petr Cech who was in great form and blocked Sergio Aguero's sure-fire shot."
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said impassionedly.
He knows that if Manchester City equalizes the score at the beginning of the second half, the next game will become even more exciting!
As a commentator, I naturally hope that the game will be as exciting as possible.
Manchester City almost scored at the beginning of the second half, which also sounded a wake-up call for the Arsenal players on the field.
Martin once again encouraged his teammates, incited everyone's emotions, and paved the way for the next defense.
De Bruyne's corner kick was of good quality, bypassing Martin at the forward point, but Koscielny in the middle of the penalty area overpowered Yaya Toure to clear the ball, and Wilshere was guarding outside the penalty area. Follow the big foot to clear the ball and kick the ball across the half court.
Joe Hart catches the ball, another big kick.
Aguero is just over 1.7 meters tall, and he simply can't grab the spot in front of Koscielny and Chambers who are over 1.8 meters tall.
The football was easily pushed out by Koscielny and flew towards the left back Gibbs.
Navas rushed over, and Gibbs received the ball and passed it directly to Elneny who was approaching. Sagna decisively pushed forward to see if he could grab the football.
Elneny has a high football intelligence and got stuck first. Just when he was about to pass the ball to Martin, Sagna used his hands and feet behind him to directly knock him to the ground.
Referee Anthony Taylor blew his whistle, but did not give a card or even a verbal warning.
For Arsenal players, this situation is not surprising in this game.
If the two goals weren't impeccable, they might have been disallowed.
Arsenal got a free kick in the backcourt, and after Martin scored the go-ahead goal, Pellegrini gave up the so-called high defense and chose a steady half-court defense.
With the score ahead, Martin, who received the football, knew how to control the overall situation of the game and connected the midfield and backfield with the midfield and frontcourt into a whole through wide range of running.
Although half of the main players were fielded in this game, under Martin's organization, it is hard to see how much worse than the main players.
The only difference is the gap in personal abilities.
In local one-on-one situations, the gap will be infinitely magnified.
Closer to home, Martin's attack quickly created a shooting opportunity.
Bellerin, who was running forward at high speed close to the right sideline, passed Martin's precise long pass from the left rib of the attack forward, then made a slight adjustment and swept the pass to the center of the penalty area.Iwobi, who ran to the right side of the penalty area, feinted a shot. Sanchez, who was originally on the left side of the penalty area, detoured to the penalty spot. Using Walcott's cover, the non-stop push with his right foot was subconsciously blocked by falling to the ground. Kompany blocked it, and the refracted football flew out of the baseline.
"wowoowoooo—"
Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium subconsciously let out a wave of frightened exclamations.
Immediately, Sanchez took a corner kick on the right.
Using Martin's cover, Koscielny's header from the back of the penalty area missed the goal post.
Arsenal continuously created opportunities to threaten Joe Hart's goal. Pellegrini was a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't think of any good way.
David Silva was injured and the personnel usage was somewhat stretched.
There are no more useful players on the bench, which means that if you want to score goals, you still have to look at the performance of the players on the field.
Fortunately, when Martin organized the attack and created scoring opportunities, the forward failed to seize the opportunity, and the scoreboard showed the score was still 1:2.
At the 10th minute of the game, Arsenal made their first substitution adjustment of the game.
Two in a row.
Ramsey and Giroud replaced Wilshere and Walcott respectively.
With the Zhengyin center, Arsenal's offense has a fulcrum. Giroud can hold the ball and become more threatening when responding.
Joe Hart is feeling more and more pressure.
Martin realized that the team should strike while the iron is hot, expand the score, and kill the game!
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened during the game.
Arsenal switched from defense to offense. Elneny, who received the football, should have passed the ball to Martin, but he noticed that Sanchez was in a better position and passed the ball decisively.
Unexpectedly, Fernandinho predicted in advance that he would appear on the route where Elneny would pass the ball to Sanchez, complete the steal, and then quickly pass it to De Bruyne who was free to receive the ball.
The whole process is so fast that it is difficult to react.
Martin realized that the situation was not good and it was already too late to retreat. De Bruyne took advantage of Aguero's firepower to suddenly move the ball to the right, and then shot a cold arrow on the right side of the top of the arc in the penalty area.
The kicked football is close to the ground, has great power, and the angle is quite tricky.
Cech is very fast on the ground, but compared to the speed of football, it is still slightly slower than half a beat.
The fast-rolling football crossed the goal line, and Cech's extended left hand was fully in place, but... it was already too late.
"Goooooooooooal—"
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray shouted hysterically after a long voice: "Kevin De Bruyne! The ground-breaking attack in front of the penalty area broke through Petr Cech's goal and helped Manchester City equalize the score at home! 2: 2!!!"
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaa——"
The home fans at the Etihad Stadium went completely crazy, unleashing their long-lost passion and making deafening roars.
At the same time, De Bruyne was extremely excited after scoring the goal. He opened his arms and grinned and ran towards the corner flag area on the right, using a sliding kneel to release the huge pressure caused by the goal.
As one of Wolfsburg's twin stars, I watched my former partner and friend Martin perform better and better, leading the scorer list, assist list, League Cup champion, league champion, FA Cup final and Champions League final.
In the second season of his career, it is possible to catch up with the miracles Messi once created, which is extremely enviable.
The two played against each other, and Martin performed well again, passing and shooting to lead Arsenal into the lead as a guest.
Now he helps the home team equalize the score through his personal ability. It cannot be said to be comparable to Martin, but... at least there is not that big gap!
The fanatical atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium was completely detonated by De Bruyne's ground-breaking strike. Martin could not help but shake his head as he felt the fanaticism coming towards him.
This is also the fundamental reason why head coach Wenger does not dare to push himself forward in every game.
An excellent opportunity to switch from defense to offense. If you are not careful, you will change from defense to offense to offense to defense.
Once you press forward, the exposed space behind you will expand infinitely.
Facing a weak team can make up for it with superior strength, but if the opponent is too strong, it means that even one mistake may cause the whole game's efforts to be in vain.
But...then again, many professional football games are about who makes fewer mistakes and seize the opportunity of the other party to make mistakes, which means that mistakes are inevitable.
In other words, since mistakes have been made, we can only move forward with our heads high to make up for the mistakes we made.
Martin raised his hand and patted Elneny on the shoulder: "Mohammed, don't be discouraged. It's just a small mistake. Pick yourself up. We have plenty of opportunities to overtake."
Elneny looked at Martin with grateful eyes: "Thank you."
"We are teammates."
Martin, who boosted the morale of his teammates, keenly noticed De Bruyne's slightly satisfied smile. He shrugged generously and then made eye contact that only each other could understand.
[Martin: Don’t be arrogant, the game is not over yet. 】
[De Bruyne: Who is afraid of whom? 】
……
Manchester City also did not celebrate for long when they scored, because they also wanted to pursue the victory and overtake the score!
In a strong dialogue, unless absolutely necessary, you want to win over the other party.
However, the game returned to the balance stage, and the respective offenses and defenses were once again separated. The offensive players wanted to score goals, but the defensive players did not dare to go too far forward to participate in the offense due to their reduced physical fitness, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
Martin wanted to push the offensive line forward, but after equalizing the score, Manchester City was particularly attentive to defense and protected the space well. Except for Sanchez, his teammates had no extra offensive points to support local explosions.
Sanchez is extremely capable, and Manchester City's defensive players are extremely focused on his defense.
Manchester City, who had equalized, seemed to have the same mindset as time went on.
Defend first, then counterattack to see if you can complete the kill.
Although an individual's forward holding of the ball can create a threat, it does not mean that he can break through without any disadvantages. With Anthony Taylor's law enforcement nature in this game, it is estimated that it is unlikely that the whistle will be blown even if he commits a foul and steals the ball.
As a result, the offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides of the game also dropped significantly as the time came to the 75th minute. The physical fitness of the starting players reached a critical point, especially the regular starting players. At the end of the season, the fuel has bottomed out.
De Bruyne's goal equalized the score and put most players in lay-down mode.
As long as Arsenal don't score, they don't need to risk attacking.
Only by winning can we guarantee a place in next season's Champions League?
But everyone knows that the prerequisite for winning is to ensure that you don't concede the ball first, and then seize the opportunity.
Martin also had to consider defensive issues. Seeing his teammates' physical decline, he had no choice but to continue to stabilize the rhythm of the game and wait for opportunities.
The opportunity appeared and was created, but it was a pity that the forward did not seize it.
Giroud and Iwobi each wasted an opportunity, so that coach Arsene Wenger stood in the visiting team's coaching technical area for a long time with his hands spread out.
At this moment, he made up his mind.
In any case, the management must be asked to introduce at least two key players in two positions this summer.
The first is the forward, and the second is the midfielder who can liberate Martin.
These two positions can get top signings. Wenger believes that the tactical play with Martin as the core will dominate Europe!
Missed opportunities one after another and should have been punished.
Arsenal fans are fortunate that they have the patron saint Martin. He appeared in key positions many times at the end of the game to ensure that Cech kept the goal.
Until the end of the game, the 2:2 displayed on the Etihad Stadium scoreboard remained unchanged.
"Beep~beep~beep~~"
"The game is over! The game is over!"
"The visiting team Arsenal relied on the passing and shooting achievements of Chinese player Martin to draw 2:2 with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium! With its excellent performance in this game, it continues to lead the scorer list, and Messi is only 3 times away from directly participating in goals. ! With two league games left, this possibility...has become very high!"
When the Xinying Sports commentator heard the referee Anthony Taylor blowing his whistle, he was very excited: "Arsenal, who scored 1 point as a guest, also scored 95 points this season. Wenger officially tied Mourinho's 2004- The record for points won in the Premier League when coaching Chelsea in the 2005 season! Arsenal still have two league games left, so they can definitely expand the record to the theoretical 100 points!"
(End of this chapter)
"Martin!"
"Martin!!"
"Martin!!!"
In the visiting fans' gathering area at the Etihad Stadium, Arsenal's expeditionary force burst into hysterical chants.
Martin, who scored the goal, remained calm. He stood there with a smile and pulled up his right shorts with his right hand, revealing his strong thigh muscles.
Whether it was the Arsenal players on the field, the coaching staff on the bench, or the players on the bench, everyone was ecstatic deep in their hearts by Martin's shocking and violent long-range shot.
Even Wenger, who has always been steady, raised his clenched arms and cheered for Martin's wonderful long-range shot.
Countless female fans in front of the TV were mesmerized by the close-up close-up of Martin's thick right thigh muscles shown in the broadcast. Their brains couldn't help but think of a question: If the thigh muscles are so developed, they must be very powerful, right?
Arsenal fans and neutral fans were also shocked by Martin's long-range shot, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow~"
Immediately, the live director restored Arsenal's entire goal.

On the contrary, the world wave that Martin finally completed gave people a sense of deja vu.
In fact, it was not the case. It was Martin's amazing kick that knocked Joe Hart away from the goal that made this goal even more perfect.
"This is Martin's 27th league goal this season! He is two goals ahead of Harry Kane and Aguero. Arsenal has more and more chances to win the league golden boot with two league rounds left!"

Not long after, the game restarted, and the score went from leading to falling behind. Manchester City played fairly maturely.
There was no rush to launch an attack, but a steady and steady attack.

Manchester City, who had equalized, seemed to have the same mindset as time went on.
Defend first, then counterattack to see if you can complete the kill.
Although an individual's forward holding of the ball can create a threat, it does not mean that he can break through without any disadvantages. With Anthony Taylor's law enforcement nature in this game, it is estimated that it is unlikely that the whistle will be blown even if he commits a foul and steals the ball.
As a result, the offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides of the game also dropped significantly as the time came to the 75th minute. The physical fitness of the starting players reached a critical point, especially the regular starting players. At the end of the season, the fuel has bottomed out.
De Bruyne's goal equalized the score and put most players in lay-down mode.
As long as Arsenal don't score, they don't need to risk attacking.
Only by winning can we guarantee a place in next season's Champions League?
But everyone knows that the prerequisite for winning is to ensure that you don't concede the ball first, and then seize the opportunity.
Martin also had to consider defensive issues. Seeing his teammates' physical decline, he had no choice but to continue to stabilize the rhythm of the game and wait for opportunities.
The opportunity appeared and was created, but it was a pity that the forward did not seize it.
Giroud and Iwobi each wasted an opportunity, so that coach Arsene Wenger stood in the visiting team's coaching technical area for a long time with his hands spread out.
At this moment, he made up his mind.
In any case, the management must be asked to introduce at least two key players in two positions this summer.
The first is the forward, and the second is the midfielder who can liberate Martin.
These two positions can get top signings. Wenger believes that the tactical play with Martin as the core will dominate Europe!
Missed opportunities one after another and should have been punished.
Arsenal fans are fortunate that they have the patron saint Martin. He appeared in key positions many times at the end of the game to ensure that Cech kept the goal.
Until the end of the game, the 2:2 displayed on the Etihad Stadium scoreboard remained unchanged.
"Beep~beep~beep~~"
"The game is over! The game is over!"
"The visiting team Arsenal relied on the passing and shooting achievements of Chinese player Martin to draw 2:2 with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium! With its excellent performance in this game, it continues to lead the scorer list, and Messi is only 3 times away from directly participating in goals. ! With two league games left, this possibility...has become very high!"
When the Xinying Sports commentator heard the referee Anthony Taylor blowing his whistle, he was very excited: "Arsenal, who scored 1 point as a guest, also scored 95 points this season. Wenger officially tied Mourinho's 2004- The record for points won in the Premier League when coaching Chelsea in the 2005 season! Arsenal still have two league games left, so they can definitely expand the record to the theoretical 100 points!"
