Chapter 291 The final battle!Tied Messi’s super record!
"competition is over!"
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai said impassionedly: "Congratulations to Martin, congratulations to Arsenal, surpassing Chelsea's Premier League points record set in the 2004-2005 season and raising this record to 98 points. There is still the final round of the league, and Arsenal also There will be an opportunity to increase the winning points record to 101 points!”
Arsenal's players, coaching staff and fans on and off the field at Old Trafford were all extremely happy.
Double defeating Manchester United is a good achievement, and it also creates a new Premier League points record, with the possibility of further expanding the record. The huge sense of accomplishment bursts directly from the bottom of my heart.
With a large number of home team fans leaving the stadium, Old Trafford has also become a sea of joy for Arsenal fans.
This scene also became the target of criticism from Manchester United's online fans.
In their view, even losing to Arsenal at home is not necessarily a particularly shameful thing, but entrusting the 'Dream Theater' to the away team seems to lack the sense of honor and disgrace at home.
The broadcast screen also consciously showed the meritorious head coaches Ferguson and Bobby Charlton who watched the game in the VIP seats.
Fans watching the live broadcast of the game could clearly see that the two men looked very unhappy, especially Ferguson.
At the regular press conference after the game, Manchester United, coached by Louis van Gaal, was defeated by Arsenal by eight goals in two rounds, and naturally became the target of media bombardment.
Van Gaal, who was well aware of his wrongdoing, endured this time and took the initiative to bear the responsibility of losing, and then mentioned the FA Cup final ten days later.
He said that this season's performance in the Premier League did not fulfill the promise at the beginning of the season, but the season is coming to an end and the team is also aiming to win the FA Cup.
Finally, the good media mentioned that they experienced another failed season. The league lost to Arsenal at home despite having good prospects of competing for the top four, resulting in the loss of the opportunity to participate in the Champions League next season. If the final FA Cup final fails to win the championship , will you submit your resignation?
"meeting!"
Van Gaal said unexpectedly.
Although the head coach of Manchester United is the dream position of many professional coaches, as a famous coach who has been famous in world football for a long time, he also has his own arrogance.
Besides, he didn't want to leave any escape route.
If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!
When the visiting team held its regular press conference after the game, almost all media reporters were full of praise.
The media from London first congratulated Arsenal for setting a new Premier League points record and expressed the hope that Arsenal can set a higher record in the final round of the league.
Wenger smiled and waved his hand, claiming that it was already very good to break the Premier League championship points record set by his old rival Mourinho 11 years ago. He was not particularly keen on whether he could set a higher record in the final round.
After working hard for a season, the final game of the league will give a large number of young players substitute opportunities.
When talking about Martin's distance from Messi's record of 2011 direct participations in goals created in the 2012-69 season, Wenger revealed Martin's desire and also stated that he would continue to send Martin in very good physical condition in the final round.
But whether he will start will be determined based on the immediate situation.
The next day, the mainstream media in Europe focused on the make-up match between Manchester United and Arsenal that ended last night.
上次主客场双杀曼联，还要追溯到2006-2007赛季，阿森纳两回合先是在客场1：0小胜，回到主场2：1赢球。
特别是主场6：0大胜而客场2：0完胜，两回合总比分8：0。
The season with the largest goal difference between the two teams since the establishment of the Premier League was in the 2011-2012 season. At that time, Arsenal was in chaos due to the loss of captain Cesc Fabregas, resulting in a 2:8 away defeat and a 1:2 loss at home in the second leg. goals, a net loss of 7 goals.
This season's home and away game has a difference of 8 goals, which has also become the largest point difference between the two teams since they met in the Premier League.
Martin's stellar performance once again made the headlines and his profile continues to grow around the world.
If Martin had the current popularity and popularity during the 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or selection, he could easily beat Neymar to become the final candidate.
Although it is also difficult to shake the two-footed status of Messi and Ronaldo, but... I already have the background and ability to compete with them!
Agent Mendes is laughing in his dreams now. Martin has performed well in the professional arena and his commercial value has also increased significantly. Now every now and then, some big brands ask about the possibility of Martin being an endorsement.
It is worth mentioning that Martin is now extremely well-known and can be said to be a high-quality public figure. He values corporate image more than endorsement contracts.
Of course, no matter how good the image of the companies in Sakura Country and South Korea is and how much endorsement fees they are willing to spend, Martin will always say NO!
In this regard, Martin also won unanimous praise in the Dragon Kingdom.
Closer to home, Arsenal, who defeated Manchester United as a guest, got another holiday.
According to Premier League practice, even if the championship is won many rounds in advance, the championship celebration will be held at the last home court of the league.
Martin is only two times away from Messi's record of directly participating in goals. He is very itchy and naturally wants to participate in this final round of the league.
My physical condition was very good, and I returned to the training base the next day to practice more as usual to maintain a good competitive state and prepare for the final game.
Head coach Wenger saw that Martin was not suffering from physical problems and was in very good condition. He planned to focus on Martin in the weekend's final game and let most of the semi-main players, substitutes and youth team players play.
The final match of the 2015th round of the 2016-38 Premier League season started at 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. The league champion, second, No. [-] and three relegated teams have also been settled, but the fourth in the league and the top seven in the league have all been settled. The suspense of the selection will still have to be decided in the final round.
The results of West Bromwich Albion vs Liverpool, Swansea vs Manchester City, Southampton vs Crystal Palace, Manchester United vs Bournemouth, Stoke City vs West Ham United will seriously affect the prospects of each team next season.
To put it simply, winning can only qualify for the European competition next season.
The final games of Newcastle VS Tottenham, Chelsea VS Leicester City, Arsenal VS Aston Villa, Watford VS Sunderland, and Everton VS Norwich will not have any impact due to the results. , the game naturally does not attract as much attention as the five league games related to the European War.
However, the Arsenal VS Aston Villa league match still attracts more attention.
As for the reason, that is if Martin directly participates in three goals in the final round, then he will surpass Messi and become the player directly involved in the most goals in a single season!
Diehard Arsenal fans and fans from all over the world have been building momentum for Martin early, hoping that he can show off his power in the final round of the league and create his own record of direct participation in goals!
There were still two hours before the start of the game, and the Emirates Stadium was packed with jubilant Gunners fans.
Countless overseas fans even spent a lot of money to come to North London just to experience Arsenal holding the trophy that symbolizes the league championship once again after the final game in 11 years!
However, there are too many fans and tickets are fixed, making it difficult to get a ticket.
An ordinary football ticket worth tens of pounds can directly rise to thousands of pounds, and it is still hard to get a ticket.
The world has never been short of rich people, and Gunners fans are among the rich, so as the game time gets closer and closer, the number of tickets for regional games has risen to nearly [-] pounds.
The number of Gunners pilgrims who came to the Emirates Stadium was so great that security in North London became tense.
Fortunately, I was excited and didn't do anything extraordinary.
When the players' bus arrived at the square outside the stadium, the overwhelming cheers became louder and louder.
"Martin!"
"Martin!!"
"Martin!!!"
The constant shouting passed through the bus and reached Martin's ears.
He smiled and gave a thumbs up, praising the fans with enthusiasm.
The fans then responded with even more violent chants.
The loudest voice after Martin was captain Arteta, because he mentioned in an interview with the media in the middle of the season that he planned to retire after his contract with the team expired, ending his 17-year career.
Since joining in 2011, his role and contribution to Arsenal have been obvious to all. Gunners fans highly recognize the Spaniard who has been the captain of the team for three years and the huge shouts are audible thanks.
Arteta, who was sitting next to Martin, pursed his lips and felt a little uncomfortable.
In the blink of an eye, it has been five years since joining Arsenal.
After the final game of the league, there are still FA Cup finals and Champions League finals, but the thought of saying goodbye to the fans at the Emirates Stadium makes him feel a little melancholy and reluctant.
"If you don't want to leave yet, then continue to stay. The team still needs you and the fans hope you will continue to stay at the Emirates Stadium."
Martin turned to Arteta and said.
"I'm already 35, and..."
Arteta shook his head, but did not say the rest of the sentence.
Martin shrugged and smiled: "In the words of our Dragon Kingdom, it is like having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. Never underestimate the role of a veteran in the team. You are the captain and the spiritual leader."
"Forget it, it's time to say goodbye."
Arteta, who was a little moved, suddenly thought of his previous promise to the bald man, and he became more determined to end his career: "I am ready to take the path of coaching."
"No wonder, then... I wish you good luck."
When Martin heard this, there was already something going on, but there was no media report yet, so he stretched out his right hand and took Arteta's subconsciously extended right hand. "I also wish you will soon surpass Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and become the best football player on the planet."
"Thank you for your blessings."
……
When the Arsenal players entered the stadium to warm up, the Emirates Stadium was already packed.
The shouts that resounded throughout the sky once again swept the entire venue.
Not long after, the starting lists of both sides of the game also appeared on the official website of the Premier League.
Arsenal still uses the usual 4231 formation.
Goalkeeper: Matt Massey
Defenders: Gibbs, Mertesacker, Jenkinson, Chambers
Midfielder: Bennacer, Arteta
Midfielder: Gnabry, Martin, Campbell
Forward: Giroud
Among them, Matt Messi, Gnabry and Bennacer were all promoted from U23.
Aston Villa, which has been relegated to the British Championship, also has a 4231 formation, but considering that it will prepare for the British Championship next season, head coach Eric Black sent a number of young players, including the 20-year-old future captain Grealish. Adama Traore came out of Barcelona's youth training but seemed out of place.
Goalkeeper: Boone
Defenders: Alli Sissoko, Kevin Toner, Lescott, Bacuna
Midfielder: Carlos Sanchez, Westwood
Forwards: Grealish, Idrissa Gueye, Adama Traore
Forward: Jordan Ayew
……
"Dragon Country TV, Dragon Country TV, the game we are broadcasting for you now is the final game of the 2015-2016 Premier League season. Arsenal is sitting at the Emirates Stadium at home against the relegated Aston Villa. It is broadcast live, wearing the traditional red jersey. The one wearing white shorts is the home team Arsenal, and they broadcast the scene..."
Central 5 commentator He Wei blurted out a standard opening statement.
Since this game is the final game of the league, Xinying Sports, which owns the broadcast rights of Long Guoquan, is broadcasting the game for free, so the distributor Yang 5 can broadcast it live. Fans who are accustomed to watching He Wei's commentary style decisively focus on Yang 5.
“马丁！在过去参加的36轮英超联赛已经贡献28球39助攻，直接参与进球达到惊人的67次，距离梅西在2011-2012赛季西甲贡献的50球19次助攻总计69次直接参与进球只剩2次，此时的我们可以想象，如果马丁在德国超级杯开赛前转会阿森纳，兴许……已经触碰到这个记录。”
Originally, He Wei planned to announce the starting lineups of both sides as usual. When he saw the football given to Martin, he shouted unabated: "But we don't need to worry too much. Aston Villa was relegated early. The league is more like a preparation for the next round." Prepare for the English Championship season and fully train young players. Against such an opponent, you can definitely try to improve your statistics."
"It definitely sounds uncomfortable to refresh the data, but let's try to think about it, how much did Messi abuse in the 2011-2012 season? Our Chinese player Martin is not a forward. He has been an organizational midfielder in most of the Premier League games this season. , even if he is not at the forefront of the striker, if he is mainly playing as an attacking midfielder, will this data be even better?"
Guest commentator Xu Yang spoke impassionedly.
At the same time, Martin, who received the ball back from Giroud, just stopped and passed Westwood and shot angrily.
The kicked football was so powerful that it passed by center defender Lescott at high speed and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Boone stretched his body to the extreme in mid-air but failed to touch the football. Just when he felt desperate, a crisp collision sound suddenly sounded like spring breeze.
bang~
The bounced football was kicked out of the sideline by Bacuna who returned to the goal, giving Arsenal only a throw-in on the right side of the front court.
"The home post denied Martin his 29th league goal of the season!"
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray exclaimed: "But...Martin is in very good shape in this game. If nothing happens, he will very likely surpass the record set by Messi in one fell swoop!"
Arsenal continued to attack, because Martin showed a very good competitive state from the beginning and naturally became Aston Villa's key defensive player.
Just like the previous round of make-up games, midfielder Carlos Sanchez began to fully mark Martin, and other defensive players were also watching eagerly, seemingly ignoring other Arsenal players participating in the attack.
"It seems that... the goal of the Aston Villa players is not to let Martin score in this final game."
Commented by He Wei, the commentator of Central 5.
In the next few minutes, Martin did not find any kicking opportunities.
He is not annoyed about this and focuses on organizing offense.
Thanks to the positive effects of the attention of most of the Aston Villa players, there is plenty of space for other teammates.
Gnabry, who made his first league start this season, began to show off his power. He received Martin's non-stop ball and cut decisively into the left rib of the penalty area. Then he swept through the middle. Giroud, who had squeezed the position in advance, stretched out his left foot at the front of the small penalty area. With a long leg, he accurately sent the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.
1:0
Arsenal take the lead!
Aston Villa, who was lagging behind and had been relegated early, had no worries and made full use of the kick-off advantage to launch an attack directly.
But neither the future captain Grealish nor Adama Traore, who later became famous at Wolves, were still a little immature and had no way to break through Arsenal's tight defensive system.
In the 13th minute, Grealish cut in from the left and passed Ben Nasser. Just as he was about to take a long shot, the football in front of him was stabbed out by a leg. The Arabic numeral [9] displayed on the back of the man's red jersey was particularly eye-catching.
"It's him!"
Grealish, who had no time to close his foot, kicked Martin's left foot, which was the first to poke away the football. Referee Atkinson decisively blew the whistle.
"aoaoaoaooooo—"
The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is fanatical. If the opportunity is bad, the on-site director will show close-ups of the big boss Kroenke and the second boss Usmanov sitting in the VIP seats, as well as Arsenal sitting in other VIP boxes. Famous place.
Obviously, they all want to participate in the league championship award ceremony after the game.
Although Arsenal sent many main players and youth team players, the offense was played in an orderly manner under Martin's series organization.
It can't be said that the mercury is pouring down the ground, but at least the offensive is like a tide.
Gnabry was the one who performed the best. He continuously received passes from Martin and wreaked havoc on the left, causing danger in front of Aston Villa's goal.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Arsenal scored another goal.
Martin received a pass from Chambers on the right side of the attack, accelerated past Carlos Sanchez who was following him, and made a direct 45° cross.
The football flying towards the penalty area accurately bypassed Lescott in the front post. Giroud, who was in very good shape in this game, appeared at the spot where the football landed. He jumped high and headed Martin's well-timed cross into the upper left corner of the goal. horn.
2: 0.
"The 40th assist of the season! Directly involved in the 68th assist, only one left!"
Central 5 commentator He Wei shouted impassionedly.
The Arsenal fans in the audience were particularly excited and kept chanting Martin's name.
The die-hard fans in the stands were still singing "Martin's Song" which is popular among gun fans.
The familiar and catchy song instantly resounded throughout the audience.
Giroud, who scored the goal, didn't care about this small detail. He took the initiative to find Martin who sent a precise cross: "One more time."
"That depends on whether you can wear a hat."
When Giroud heard this, his heart surged: "You can pass it on!"
In the next game time, Aston Villa continued to strengthen their marking on Martin.
Until the end of the first half, the outstanding Gnabry passed two people on the left and suddenly passed the ball to Martin who came to the front of the left penalty area.
Carlos Sanchez saw Martin swinging his left foot to meet the ball and subconsciously fell to the ground to block it.
It wasn't until he threw his body that he suddenly realized that Martin was not good with his left foot.
as predicted!
The swung left foot was a fake move. The fake shot sent the ball to his familiar right foot. It was too late for center back Kevin Toner to catch up. Martin made the connection very quickly. He shot furiously from the left side of the top of the arc in the penalty area.
Batty Goal!
The kicked football was like a cannonball that escaped from the barrel and passed by the upper edge of Kevin Toner's stretched right thigh at high speed.
Goalkeeper Boone looked at the football that appeared in his sight and it was too late to react. He could only turn his head and look as the football moved...
shuh~
The powerful and heavy football hit the upper left corner of the goal.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—"
Overwhelming shouts of goal resounded throughout the sky. After scoring the goal, Martin opened his arms in excitement and ran all the way to the corner flag area on the right side of the attack, kneeling down to express his ecstasy about the goal.
The 29th goal of the season!
Plus 40 assists!
Tied Messi's single-season record of directly participating in goals!
(End of this chapter)
"competition is over!"
Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai said impassionedly: "Congratulations to Martin, congratulations to Arsenal, surpassing Chelsea's Premier League points record set in the 2004-2005 season and raising this record to 98 points. There is still the final round of the league, and Arsenal also There will be an opportunity to increase the winning points record to 101 points!”
Arsenal's players, coaching staff and fans on and off the field at Old Trafford were all extremely happy.

The final match of the 2015th round of the 2016-38 Premier League season started at 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. The league champion, second, No. [-] and three relegated teams have also been settled, but the fourth in the league and the top seven in the league have all been settled. The suspense of the selection will still have to be decided in the final round.
The results of West Bromwich Albion vs Liverpool, Swansea vs Manchester City, Southampton vs Crystal Palace, Manchester United vs Bournemouth, Stoke City vs West Ham United will seriously affect the prospects of each team next season.
To put it simply, winning can only qualify for the European competition next season.
The final games of Newcastle VS Tottenham, Chelsea VS Leicester City, Arsenal VS Aston Villa, Watford VS Sunderland, and Everton VS Norwich will not have any impact due to the results. , the game naturally does not attract as much attention as the five league games related to the European War.
However, the Arsenal VS Aston Villa league match still attracts more attention.
As for the reason, that is if Martin directly participates in three goals in the final round, then he will surpass Messi and become the player directly involved in the most goals in a single season!

An ordinary football ticket worth tens of pounds can directly rise to thousands of pounds, and it is still hard to get a ticket.
The world has never been short of rich people, and Gunners fans are among the rich, so as the game time gets closer and closer, the number of tickets for regional games has risen to nearly [-] pounds.
The number of Gunners pilgrims who came to the Emirates Stadium was so great that security in North London became tense.

"If you don't want to leave yet, then continue to stay. The team still needs you and the fans hope you will continue to stay at the Emirates Stadium."
Martin turned to Arteta and said.
"I'm already 35, and..."
Arteta shook his head, but did not say the rest of the sentence.
Martin shrugged and smiled: "In the words of our Dragon Kingdom, it is like having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. Never underestimate the role of a veteran in the team. You are the captain and the spiritual leader."

When the Arsenal players entered the stadium to warm up, the Emirates Stadium was already packed.
The shouts that resounded throughout the sky once again swept the entire venue.
Not long after, the starting lists of both sides of the game also appeared on the official website of the Premier League.
Arsenal still uses the usual 4231 formation.

The bounced football was kicked out of the sideline by Bacuna who returned to the goal, giving Arsenal only a throw-in on the right side of the front court.
"The home post denied Martin his 29th league goal of the season!"
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray exclaimed: "But...Martin is in very good shape in this game. If nothing happens, he will very likely surpass the record set by Messi in one fell swoop!"
Arsenal continued to attack, because Martin showed a very good competitive state from the beginning and naturally became Aston Villa's key defensive player.
Just like the previous round of make-up games, midfielder Carlos Sanchez began to fully mark Martin, and other defensive players were also watching eagerly, seemingly ignoring other Arsenal players participating in the attack.
"It seems that... the goal of the Aston Villa players is not to let Martin score in this final game."
Commented by He Wei, the commentator of Central 5.
In the next few minutes, Martin did not find any kicking opportunities.
He is not annoyed about this and focuses on organizing offense.
Thanks to the positive effects of the attention of most of the Aston Villa players, there is plenty of space for other teammates.
Gnabry, who made his first league start this season, began to show off his power. He received Martin's non-stop ball and cut decisively into the left rib of the penalty area. Then he swept through the middle. Giroud, who had squeezed the position in advance, stretched out his left foot at the front of the small penalty area. With a long leg, he accurately sent the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.
1:0
Arsenal take the lead!
Aston Villa, who was lagging behind and had been relegated early, had no worries and made full use of the kick-off advantage to launch an attack directly.
But neither the future captain Grealish nor Adama Traore, who later became famous at Wolves, were still a little immature and had no way to break through Arsenal's tight defensive system.
In the 13th minute, Grealish cut in from the left and passed Ben Nasser. Just as he was about to take a long shot, the football in front of him was stabbed out by a leg. The Arabic numeral [9] displayed on the back of the man's red jersey was particularly eye-catching.
"It's him!"
Grealish, who had no time to close his foot, kicked Martin's left foot, which was the first to poke away the football. Referee Atkinson decisively blew the whistle.
"aoaoaoaooooo—"
The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium is fanatical. If the opportunity is bad, the on-site director will show close-ups of the big boss Kroenke and the second boss Usmanov sitting in the VIP seats, as well as Arsenal sitting in other VIP boxes. Famous place.
Obviously, they all want to participate in the league championship award ceremony after the game.
Although Arsenal sent many main players and youth team players, the offense was played in an orderly manner under Martin's series organization.
It can't be said that the mercury is pouring down the ground, but at least the offensive is like a tide.
Gnabry was the one who performed the best. He continuously received passes from Martin and wreaked havoc on the left, causing danger in front of Aston Villa's goal.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Arsenal scored another goal.
Martin received a pass from Chambers on the right side of the attack, accelerated past Carlos Sanchez who was following him, and made a direct 45° cross.
The football flying towards the penalty area accurately bypassed Lescott in the front post. Giroud, who was in very good shape in this game, appeared at the spot where the football landed. He jumped high and headed Martin's well-timed cross into the upper left corner of the goal. horn.
2: 0.
"The 40th assist of the season! Directly involved in the 68th assist, only one left!"
Central 5 commentator He Wei shouted impassionedly.
The Arsenal fans in the audience were particularly excited and kept chanting Martin's name.
The die-hard fans in the stands were still singing "Martin's Song" which is popular among gun fans.
The familiar and catchy song instantly resounded throughout the audience.
Giroud, who scored the goal, didn't care about this small detail. He took the initiative to find Martin who sent a precise cross: "One more time."
"That depends on whether you can wear a hat."
When Giroud heard this, his heart surged: "You can pass it on!"
In the next game time, Aston Villa continued to strengthen their marking on Martin.
Until the end of the first half, the outstanding Gnabry passed two people on the left and suddenly passed the ball to Martin who came to the front of the left penalty area.
Carlos Sanchez saw Martin swinging his left foot to meet the ball and subconsciously fell to the ground to block it.
It wasn't until he threw his body that he suddenly realized that Martin was not good with his left foot.
as predicted!
The swung left foot was a fake move. The fake shot sent the ball to his familiar right foot. It was too late for center back Kevin Toner to catch up. Martin made the connection very quickly. He shot furiously from the left side of the top of the arc in the penalty area.
Batty Goal!
The kicked football was like a cannonball that escaped from the barrel and passed by the upper edge of Kevin Toner's stretched right thigh at high speed.
Goalkeeper Boone looked at the football that appeared in his sight and it was too late to react. He could only turn his head and look as the football moved...
shuh~
The powerful and heavy football hit the upper left corner of the goal.
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—"
Overwhelming shouts of goal resounded throughout the sky. After scoring the goal, Martin opened his arms in excitement and ran all the way to the corner flag area on the right side of the attack, kneeling down to express his ecstasy about the goal.
The 29th goal of the season!
Plus 40 assists!
Tied Messi's single-season record of directly participating in goals!
