Chapter 296 The epic tactical corner kick and goal that went down in history
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaa——"
The sky above the new Wembley Stadium suddenly rang out with the shouts of Arsenal fans.
Martin, who scored the goal, turned around and signaled Giroud, who sent the assist, Ramsey, who made the ball, and other teammates to celebrate the goal together.
Wenger, who was in charge of the technical area as the coach of the home team, smiled and high-fived his assistants in celebration, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.
The entire stadium has become a sea of joy for Arsenal people.
"In the 52nd minute of the game, after half-time, Martin suddenly accelerated and dribbled past Rooney. His cooperation with teammates Ramsey and Giroud was very wonderful. Their tacit understanding was smooth, and he faced De Gea's calm shot with help. Arsenal equalized."
Central 5 commentator He Wei said passionately: "If nothing happens, the next game will return to Arsenal's rhythm."
Rio Ferdinand, who served as a guest commentator for Sky Sports, watched the wonderful slow-motion replay and shook his head: "The overall defense this time was very bad. The distance between the players was a bit wide. The exposed defensive loopholes are not suitable for Martin's level. It’s almost like opening doors for players.”
Fans watching the live broadcast of the game found it pleasing to the eye and the whole process was very smooth.
The pass is simple, direct and rough, with tacit understanding and efficiency, and the final shot is also a rubbing shot that tests the footwork.
Real Madrid coach Zidane in the audience could not help but frown, and then wrote in the record book: Try not to give Arsenal smooth cooperation.
A luxury residence in Madrid.
Real Madrid's number one goalkeeper Navas has a higher evaluation of Martin from the bottom of his heart.
In his impression, Martin almost always uses a very confusing breakthrough method to get past the goalkeeper and then shoot into the empty goal.
The goal that helped Arsenal equalize the score was Martin's first solo shot in his career.
Thinking about it this way, he didn't know if he was sure of facing Martin's single shot in the Champions League final.
To be precise, it should be difficult to save Martin's single-handed ball.
Therefore, he hopes that the central defender combination of Ramos + Pepe or Ramos + Varane can prevent Martin from entering the penalty area.
The best would be a combination of Modric + Casemiro + Kroos and BBC that can score enough goals in front of them to knock Arsenal to pieces.
……
The Arsenal fans at the new Wembley Stadium were very excited and cheered wildly for the equalizer.
The Manchester United fans, who were already gentlemen, suddenly became pitiful, weak and helpless, allowing the voices of the Arsenal fans to sweep through the audience.
Including die-hard fans, they also chose to remain silent at this time.
The energy was not released until the game restarted, cheering for the home team that won the ball.
The score was equalized, and the morale of the high-spirited Manchester United players was hit to a certain extent.
But as a professional player, he has almost always seen strong winds and waves, and his mentality adjusts quickly.
Manchester United's main theme in the restarted game was to attack. Considering that Rashford is not a strong center, Valencia's final pass was a low ball.
Unfortunately, Koscielny did not pass the front point, and the ball was easily cleared out of the sideline.
Manchester United, which was lagging behind, received a throw-in from the right side of the frontcourt.
The throw-in ball was thrown out and a mistake occurred within a few passes, and Arsenal gained the ball.
After two consecutive passes, the football was given to Martin who got rid of Herrera. After attracting Fellaini's defensive attention, he passed the ball directly to the right.
Walcott was like a tiger going downhill, passing the center line along the right sideline at a speed visible to the naked eye, approaching Martin at high speed and sending a long diagonal pass with great advance.
Blind's speed is his shortcoming, and Rojo, who is defending, has no choice. Faced with Walcott's unreasonable burst, he can only choose to foul.
"beep~"
When the whistle sounded, referee Oliver quickly ran to the scene of the incident and pushed away the Arsenal substitute who tried to cause trouble for Rojo.
The members of the Arsenal coaching staff were very cool-headed and pushed some hot-headed substitute players to the warm-up area.
When Oliver saw that the possibility of the situation escalating suddenly dropped, he took out a yellow card from his pocket and showed it to Rojo, who had committed the foul.
After receiving simple treatment from the team doctor, Walcott stood up with a frown, feeling that his muscles and bones were not broken before letting out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's just a bruise, and the pain will be relieved for a while.
Next there are the Champions League finals and the European Cup in France. Once an injury occurs, it means the possibility of lifelong regret.
Arsenal's fast break turned into a positional battle. Martin received Bellerin's short free kick and patiently organized the attack.
The Arsenal fans at the new Wembley Stadium were passionate and fully unleashed their energy.
The Arsenal team's morale increased greatly after the equalizer, and their enthusiasm for running increased significantly.
The direct impact is that Manchester United's defensive players have to increase their running coverage, causing the already stretched physical fitness to decline faster.
Van Gaal's frown could not relax, and he kept his eyes on the court, fearing that Arsenal's attack would suddenly break through the defense.
Five minutes into the game, Herrera kicked down Martin who had taken the ball away early during a defense. Referee Oliver showed him a yellow card.
Three minutes later, Fellaini, who was out of position defensively, kicked down Sanchez, who received a pass from Martin and made a stop. He also received a yellow card.
Both defensive midfielders received yellow cards, and Van Gaalton was under great pressure.
Ramsey, who serves as the attacking midfielder, does not have strong personal breakthrough ability. Sanchez and Martin both have strong dribbling abilities. The yellow cards received by the two defensive midfielders will greatly limit the subsequent defensive actions.
In addition, Arsenal has a strong offensive ability on the right, and defense sometimes requires fouling.
The most critical thing is that Martin can pass, shoot and break out now, and he has a yellow card on his back. Whether it is Herrera or Fellaini, they may be at a loss at critical moments.
A foul has a high probability of turning two yellows into one red. Failure to commit a foul means giving Martin the opportunity to face the entire back line directly.
Thinking of Martin's increasing scoring ability, he must make adjustments to the lineup.
Originally, he wanted to replace veteran Carrick to increase his offensive organization ability in the midfield and frontcourt. Now that both defensive midfielders have received yellow cards, he can only use Schneiderlin to replace Herrera, who has suffered a severe decline in physical fitness.
In the 65th minute of the game, Valencia blocked Monreal's cross from the sideline, and referee Oliver blew the whistle and pointed to the substitution technical area.
Manchester United took the lead in making personnel adjustments.
"Routine alignment adjustments."
Central 5 commentator He Wei said: "It seems that Van Gaal is still worried about problems in the defense in the middle."
"Actually, it's easy to understand when you think about it. Arsenal's frontcourt attack is very powerful. Both Manchester United midfielders have yellow cards. If they stay on the field, there will be hidden dangers. Van Gaal's adjustment was very timely and decisive. That's Schneider. Lin and Fellaini are not of much help to the offensive organization, and 'Puffy Head' can only help Manchester United create threats in set-piece attacks."
Guest commentator Xu Yang said loudly.
The substitution adjustment was completed, and Monreal threw a foul ball from the left side of the front court.
Giroud, who was standing on the left sideline, used his large body to resist Smalling and tip the ball to Sanchez on the back left. He passed the ball through Coquelin and then passed it to Martin who was relatively deep in the center.
Rooney and Rashford were on the left and right. Martin raised his left elbow and pushed the ball to the right with the outside instep of his right foot. At the same time, he stuck his butt back to block Rooney and Rashford's approach, and then used The arch of his right foot gave the ball to Bellerin on the right sideline.
Bellerin, who received the ball, made a slight adjustment. Blind, who was pulled out to defend, was obviously a beat slower, but the football shot up from the ground and flew towards his chest.
Due to his body's conditioned reflex, his torso flashed to the left. By the time he realized what was happening, it was already too late, and the football that hit his chest flew out of the baseline.
Standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, Van Gaal's mouth twitched slightly.
Is this the same Blind who assisted Van Persie in the 2014 Brazil World Cup and scored a flying diving goal?
Can the defense still be like this?
However, venting dissatisfaction is of no use anymore. All he can do is stand on the sidelines and remind the players on the field to stay highly focused to prevent Arsenal from seizing the corner kick opportunity to overtake the score.
Mertesacker is 1.98 meters, Giroud is 1.93 meters, Martin is 1.84 meters, Koscielny is 1.86 meters...
Although Martin is not tall in the Premier League, he has a very keen judgment on the placement of the football. Coupled with his super jumping ability and accurate header, he has become the most threatening player in the penalty area.
Van Gaal's reminder was aimed at Martin.
What puzzled him was that when Sanchez was about to take the right corner kick, Martin was standing on the outside of the far end of the penalty area.
On the edge of the small penalty area in front of Martin, there are two high points of Mertesacker and Giroud.
This position closest to the goal is the area that threatens the goal the most, and it has attracted great attention from Manchester United's two tall men, Smalling and Fellaini, who are over 1.9 meters tall.
Such a choice...
Very unpredictable.
"Is it to attract firepower for teammates? But..."
???
It’s no wonder that Van Gaal is confused, because attracting firepower is often an excellent header area from the front point and the middle.
The position is at the back point, one meter outside the sideline of the small penalty area at the far end.
Even if the football can be passed, it will give the defensive players enough time to prepare.
Therefore, the only defensive player marking Martin is right back Valencia.Arsenal defensive players Koscielny and Ramsey naturally stood in the area between the penalty spot and the penalty area line, attracting the attention of Schneiderlin and Rojo.
Sanchez, who placed the football in the arc of the corner kick, retreated far enough and raised his right hand to signal for a corner kick.
At this moment, Walcott suddenly accelerated and ran towards the edge of the small penalty area at the near end to meet Sanchez who took the corner kick.
Rooney, Mata and Blind stepped forward in unison, preventing Walcott from taking the ball to the left, back and right and forcing him to hand the ball back to Sanchez.
Three players stepped up to help Walcott get the ball out and make up for it immediately.
Zidane's eyes lit up when he was sitting in the audience, which was almost the best position to watch the game. He saw a 5*5 meter vacuum zone created between the penalty spot and the small penalty area line due to the movement of players on both sides.
But...Arsenal's next movement lifted Zidane's spirits even more.
Sanchez took a low-ball tactical short corner kick and handed it to Walcott who suddenly accelerated from the edge of the small penalty area at the near end to the edge of the large penalty area!
At the same time, Ramsey and Koscielny, who were standing between the penalty spot and the penalty area line, suddenly started to move forward to the front point.
Schneiderlin and Rojo, who were following the defense, naturally did not dare to pull their jerseys in full view of the public. They could only follow them closely and run diagonally towards the front of the small penalty area, which was behind Walcott who was meeting the ball.
Martin, who was originally in the least threatening position, suddenly accelerated, went around four big men over 1.9 meters tall, and ran towards the large vacuum area created by his teammates' movements between the small penalty area line and the large penalty area line.
Valencia realized what was happening too late. Giroud, who seemed to be entangled with Fellaini, took half a step back, blocking Valencia's path to catch up with Martin.
Walcott, who attracted enough attention, took the ball back without stopping.
Rooney turned a corner and pounced on Sanchez.
Sanchez, who took a tactical corner kick, met the low ball passed by Walcott. It was also a non-stop ball. He used the arch of his right foot to drive the ball towards the penalty spot where there was a vacuum zone.
"Oh My God!"
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray ran out of the open Martin to meet Sanchez's low pass, and his voice suddenly rose an octave: "Martin——"
"Martin—"
Arsenal fans at the new Wembley Stadium stood up excitedly when they saw this, raised their clenched fists naturally, and shouted hysterically.
Martin, who has attracted much attention, raised his very familiar right foot and completely wrapped the football with the entire arch of his foot.
Feet up and down!
The football was kicked very fast, flying towards the near corner of the goal from the path of Koscielny and Ramsey who were diagonally crossing the front point.
Goalkeeper De Gea saw Martin taking a shot, but he had no time to make a save when facing such a close shot.
Therefore, the whole person stayed in place, watching the football fly into the inner edge of the right goal post and hit the snow-white net...
"Goooooooooooooooooal—"
“Wonderful tactical corner kick to score!!”
"Martin scored twice! Helping Arsenal score two goals in a row in the second half!"
"Incredible tactical coordination on corner kicks! Another classic goal worthy of being recorded in history!"
……
blurted out the commentary box/broadcast agency commentator.
Martin had long known that the result of the tactics would definitely be a goal, so he was not too excited.
For him, the powerful world wave is enough to break the goal.
(*^▽^*)~
His teammates inside and outside the Manchester United penalty area were not so tolerant, and they all ran over frantically to celebrate the go-ahead goal.
Although it had been predicted during the halftime break that the score would go from behind to leading, it was still difficult to suppress the ecstasy when it was actually achieved.
Wenger, who was standing in the technical area commanded by the home team coach, was equally excited. He hugged his assistant who came forward to celebrate.
Arsenal players in the warm-up area raised their arms and shouted, venting the emotional release brought about by the lead.
The entire stadium was filled with the joy of Arsenal people, creating a lasting momentum.
Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal, the warm-up area, the Manchester United players on the field, and the Manchester United fans in the audience all looked ugly and depressed.
The on-site guide then restored the wonderful process in accordance with international practice.
Central 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "The tactical corner kick scored by Martin is full of design. It simply makes full use of the players participating in the attack. Each player performs his or her own duties, and the Manchester United defensive players are clearly arranged. , Martin’s final shot was so powerful and had such a tricky angle that De Gea, who had made many key saves before, had no reaction.”
"The goal is so entertaining to watch."
Guest commentator Xu Yang said impassionedly: "It is extremely targeted and every step is just right. We can't blame the Manchester United defensive players for not working hard. Through replays, we can see that the Manchester United players are very focused. It's a pity that the results of many games are like this." , hard work does not mean being able to complete the defensive task.”
Manchester United fans watching the live broadcast of the game knew that the game was beyond redemption.
Head coach Louis van Gaal felt that he could still make some more saves to prepare for the equalizer.
Before the game restarted, Carrick and Lingard replaced Fellaini and Ashley Young respectively.
"Van Gaal just played the last two cards, it was do or die!"
He Wei saw the two Manchester United players in the substitution technical area and said loudly.
With the formation remaining the same, Martial is placed at the center position, and Ashley Young, who is about to enter a contract year, is placed on the left wing.
put all one's eggs in one basket!
Manchester United, which made personnel adjustments, did not create very good scoring opportunities. Arsenal, who performed better overall, won the ball.
Giroud, who finally completed the shot, fired an anti-aircraft gun, and referee Oliver blew the whistle and pointed to the substitution technical area.
Arsenal also made adjustments, playing two consecutive positions.
Welbeck and Artert replaced Giroud and Ramsey respectively.
"Ramsey performed pretty well. Using Arteta as an attacking midfielder seems like..."
He Wei suddenly thought: "Could it be that... we want Martin to play as an attacking midfielder?"
After completing the substitution handover ceremony, Arteta ran into the field, communicated with Martin and went to the right midfielder, while Martin played Ramsey's attacking midfielder position.
"Sure enough! Arsenal must strengthen their attack at the end of the game and try to kill the game!"
Xu Yang, the guest who solved the puzzle, said loudly.
Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal is very angry. He feels that Wenger has gone too far.
As we all know, Martin often plays as an attacking midfielder in the second half, but more often against weaker teams...
But considering that Martin himself has super scoring and assisting abilities, he is completely qualified.
As the Premier League Golden Boot and assist leader in the 2015-2016 season, it can obviously explain something easily.
In addition, Martin, who serves as the attacking midfielder, is not actually in a fixed position. It is more appropriate to describe him as a free agent in the frontcourt.
His position change actually did not weaken the defense much. On the contrary, the offense has been qualitatively improved.
Martin has excellent foot skills, long-range shooting, and outstanding coordination awareness. He has many options, which puts increasing pressure on defensive players.
Van Gaal's original intention was to strengthen the offense, but unexpectedly the offense failed to create a threat and Arsenal took control of the game.
Martin, whose position is not fixed, moves erratically, causing Manchester United players a headache.
If De Gea hadn't been in excellent form and made consecutive wonderful saves to turn the tide, Arsenal would have expanded the score to two goals.
Arsenal's offensive was overwhelming, and in the 78th minute of the game, Manchester United players' running coverage was significantly reduced due to the reduced physical capacity of the players.
Martin retreated with his back to the goal. Facing Rooney's follow-up defense, he used a very elegant Marseille spin to face the goal. The pendulum passed directly and knocked down the Manchester United captain. Carrick was half a beat too late to commit a foul.
Martin used the outside instep of his right foot to move the ball to the right front and took two strides. Schneiderlin was taken away from the defensive attention by Walcott who advanced forward.
At the same time, Martin, who was advancing with the ball, looked at Bellerin who was advancing at high speed along the right sideline. He actually passed a long diagonal pass to the left in the right rib of the attack.
Sanchez's position inside attracted the attention of Valencia's defense. Mata needed to defend his ribs firmly, which resulted in Monreal, who was driving forward at high speed from the left, unmarked.
The reverse long pass close to 40 meters is very accurate!
The right center back Smalling was able to make up the defense in time, but Martin's long pass and Monreal's movement were just right. The latter did not need to make too many adjustments and directly swept the pass from the sideline of the penalty area on the left to the middle.
Welbeck, who came on as a substitute, had a keen sense of smell in front of the goal. He stepped in front of Rojo and pushed with his left foot.
De Gea failed to make a save and could only watch the ball rush into the net from his right armpit.
"Goooooooooooooooooooal—"
Sky TV commentator Andy Grayra has a long voice.
The fanatical atmosphere in the entire new Wembley Stadium was reignited again, and huge shouts instantly echoed throughout the venue.
Van Gaal, who was standing in the technical command area of the away team, had his mouth half-opened numbly. After a while, he closed his eyes in pain and murmured in a low voice: "No chance."
(End of this chapter)
"Yaaaaaaaaaaaa——"
The sky above the new Wembley Stadium suddenly rang out with the shouts of Arsenal fans.
Martin, who scored the goal, turned around and signaled Giroud, who sent the assist, Ramsey, who made the ball, and other teammates to celebrate the goal together.

The pass is simple, direct and rough, with tacit understanding and efficiency, and the final shot is also a rubbing shot that tests the footwork.

Fortunately, it's just a bruise, and the pain will be relieved for a while.
Next there are the Champions League finals and the European Cup in France. Once an injury occurs, it means the possibility of lifelong regret.
Arsenal's fast break turned into a positional battle. Martin received Bellerin's short free kick and patiently organized the attack.
The Arsenal fans at the new Wembley Stadium were passionate and fully unleashed their energy.
The Arsenal team's morale increased greatly after the equalizer, and their enthusiasm for running increased significantly.
The direct impact is that Manchester United's defensive players have to increase their running coverage, causing the already stretched physical fitness to decline faster.
Van Gaal's frown could not relax, and he kept his eyes on the court, fearing that Arsenal's attack would suddenly break through the defense.
Five minutes into the game, Herrera kicked down Martin who had taken the ball away early during a defense. Referee Oliver showed him a yellow card.
Three minutes later, Fellaini, who was out of position defensively, kicked down Sanchez, who received a pass from Martin and made a stop. He also received a yellow card.
Both defensive midfielders received yellow cards, and Van Gaalton was under great pressure.
Ramsey, who serves as the attacking midfielder, does not have strong personal breakthrough ability. Sanchez and Martin both have strong dribbling abilities. The yellow cards received by the two defensive midfielders will greatly limit the subsequent defensive actions.

The substitution adjustment was completed, and Monreal threw a foul ball from the left side of the front court.
Giroud, who was standing on the left sideline, used his large body to resist Smalling and tip the ball to Sanchez on the back left. He passed the ball through Coquelin and then passed it to Martin who was relatively deep in the center.
Rooney and Rashford were on the left and right. Martin raised his left elbow and pushed the ball to the right with the outside instep of his right foot.

Standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, Van Gaal's mouth twitched slightly.
Is this the same Blind who assisted Van Persie in the 2014 Brazil World Cup and scored a flying diving goal?
Can the defense still be like this?
However, venting dissatisfaction is of no use anymore. All he can do is stand on the sidelines and remind the players on the field to stay highly focused to prevent Arsenal from seizing the corner kick opportunity to overtake the score.
Mertesacker is 1.98 meters, Giroud is 1.93 meters, Martin is 1.84 meters, Koscielny is 1.86 meters...
Although Martin is not tall in the Premier League, he has a very keen judgment on the placement of the football. Coupled with his super jumping ability and accurate header, he has become the most threatening player in the penalty area.
Van Gaal's reminder was aimed at Martin.
What puzzled him was that when Sanchez was about to take the right corner kick, Martin was standing on the outside of the far end of the penalty area.
On the edge of the small penalty area in front of Martin, there are two high points of Mertesacker and Giroud.
This position closest to the goal is the area that threatens the goal the most, and it has attracted great attention from Manchester United's two tall men, Smalling and Fellaini, who are over 1.9 meters tall.
Such a choice...
Very unpredictable.
"Is it to attract firepower for teammates? But..."
???
It’s no wonder that Van Gaal is confused, because attracting firepower is often an excellent header area from the front point and the middle.
The position is at the back point, one meter outside the sideline of the small penalty area at the far end.
Even if the football can be passed, it will give the defensive players enough time to prepare.
Therefore, the only defensive player marking Martin is right back Valencia.Arsenal defensive players Koscielny and Ramsey naturally stood in the area between the penalty spot and the penalty area line, attracting the attention of Schneiderlin and Rojo.
Sanchez, who placed the football in the arc of the corner kick, retreated far enough and raised his right hand to signal for a corner kick.
At this moment, Walcott suddenly accelerated and ran towards the edge of the small penalty area at the near end to meet Sanchez who took the corner kick.
Rooney, Mata and Blind stepped forward in unison, preventing Walcott from taking the ball to the left, back and right and forcing him to hand the ball back to Sanchez.
Three players stepped up to help Walcott get the ball out and make up for it immediately.
Zidane's eyes lit up when he was sitting in the audience, which was almost the best position to watch the game. He saw a 5*5 meter vacuum zone created between the penalty spot and the small penalty area line due to the movement of players on both sides.
But...Arsenal's next movement lifted Zidane's spirits even more.
Sanchez took a low-ball tactical short corner kick and handed it to Walcott who suddenly accelerated from the edge of the small penalty area at the near end to the edge of the large penalty area!
At the same time, Ramsey and Koscielny, who were standing between the penalty spot and the penalty area line, suddenly started to move forward to the front point.
Schneiderlin and Rojo, who were following the defense, naturally did not dare to pull their jerseys in full view of the public. They could only follow them closely and run diagonally towards the front of the small penalty area, which was behind Walcott who was meeting the ball.
Martin, who was originally in the least threatening position, suddenly accelerated, went around four big men over 1.9 meters tall, and ran towards the large vacuum area created by his teammates' movements between the small penalty area line and the large penalty area line.
Valencia realized what was happening too late. Giroud, who seemed to be entangled with Fellaini, took half a step back, blocking Valencia's path to catch up with Martin.
Walcott, who attracted enough attention, took the ball back without stopping.
Rooney turned a corner and pounced on Sanchez.
Sanchez, who took a tactical corner kick, met the low ball passed by Walcott. It was also a non-stop ball. He used the arch of his right foot to drive the ball towards the penalty spot where there was a vacuum zone.
"Oh My God!"
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray ran out of the open Martin to meet Sanchez's low pass, and his voice suddenly rose an octave: "Martin——"
"Martin—"
Arsenal fans at the new Wembley Stadium stood up excitedly when they saw this, raised their clenched fists naturally, and shouted hysterically.
Martin, who has attracted much attention, raised his very familiar right foot and completely wrapped the football with the entire arch of his foot.
Feet up and down!
The football was kicked very fast, flying towards the near corner of the goal from the path of Koscielny and Ramsey who were diagonally crossing the front point.
Goalkeeper De Gea saw Martin taking a shot, but he had no time to make a save when facing such a close shot.
Therefore, the whole person stayed in place, watching the football fly into the inner edge of the right goal post and hit the snow-white net...
"Goooooooooooooooooal—"
“Wonderful tactical corner kick to score!!”
"Martin scored twice! Helping Arsenal score two goals in a row in the second half!"
"Incredible tactical coordination on corner kicks! Another classic goal worthy of being recorded in history!"
……
blurted out the commentary box/broadcast agency commentator.
Martin had long known that the result of the tactics would definitely be a goal, so he was not too excited.
For him, the powerful world wave is enough to break the goal.

His teammates inside and outside the Manchester United penalty area were not so tolerant, and they all ran over frantically to celebrate the go-ahead goal.
Although it had been predicted during the halftime break that the score would go from behind to leading, it was still difficult to suppress the ecstasy when it was actually achieved.
Wenger, who was standing in the technical area commanded by the home team coach, was equally excited. He hugged his assistant who came forward to celebrate.
Arsenal players in the warm-up area raised their arms and shouted, venting the emotional release brought about by the lead.
The entire stadium was filled with the joy of Arsenal people, creating a lasting momentum.
Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal, the warm-up area, the Manchester United players on the field, and the Manchester United fans in the audience all looked ugly and depressed.
The on-site guide then restored the wonderful process in accordance with international practice.
Central 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "The tactical corner kick scored by Martin is full of design. It simply makes full use of the players participating in the attack. Each player performs his or her own duties, and the Manchester United defensive players are clearly arranged. , Martin’s final shot was so powerful and had such a tricky angle that De Gea, who had made many key saves before, had no reaction.”
"The goal is so entertaining to watch."
Guest commentator Xu Yang said impassionedly: "It is extremely targeted and every step is just right. We can't blame the Manchester United defensive players for not working hard. Through replays, we can see that the Manchester United players are very focused. It's a pity that the results of many games are like this." , hard work does not mean being able to complete the defensive task.”
Manchester United fans watching the live broadcast of the game knew that the game was beyond redemption.
Head coach Louis van Gaal felt that he could still make some more saves to prepare for the equalizer.
Before the game restarted, Carrick and Lingard replaced Fellaini and Ashley Young respectively.
"Van Gaal just played the last two cards, it was do or die!"
He Wei saw the two Manchester United players in the substitution technical area and said loudly.
With the formation remaining the same, Martial is placed at the center position, and Ashley Young, who is about to enter a contract year, is placed on the left wing.
put all one's eggs in one basket!
Manchester United, which made personnel adjustments, did not create very good scoring opportunities. Arsenal, who performed better overall, won the ball.
Giroud, who finally completed the shot, fired an anti-aircraft gun, and referee Oliver blew the whistle and pointed to the substitution technical area.
Arsenal also made adjustments, playing two consecutive positions.
Welbeck and Artert replaced Giroud and Ramsey respectively.
"Ramsey performed pretty well. Using Arteta as an attacking midfielder seems like..."
He Wei suddenly thought: "Could it be that... we want Martin to play as an attacking midfielder?"
After completing the substitution handover ceremony, Arteta ran into the field, communicated with Martin and went to the right midfielder, while Martin played Ramsey's attacking midfielder position.
"Sure enough! Arsenal must strengthen their attack at the end of the game and try to kill the game!"
Xu Yang, the guest who solved the puzzle, said loudly.
Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal is very angry. He feels that Wenger has gone too far.
As we all know, Martin often plays as an attacking midfielder in the second half, but more often against weaker teams...
But considering that Martin himself has super scoring and assisting abilities, he is completely qualified.
As the Premier League Golden Boot and assist leader in the 2015-2016 season, it can obviously explain something easily.
In addition, Martin, who serves as the attacking midfielder, is not actually in a fixed position. It is more appropriate to describe him as a free agent in the frontcourt.
His position change actually did not weaken the defense much. On the contrary, the offense has been qualitatively improved.
Martin has excellent foot skills, long-range shooting, and outstanding coordination awareness. He has many options, which puts increasing pressure on defensive players.
Van Gaal's original intention was to strengthen the offense, but unexpectedly the offense failed to create a threat and Arsenal took control of the game.
Martin, whose position is not fixed, moves erratically, causing Manchester United players a headache.
If De Gea hadn't been in excellent form and made consecutive wonderful saves to turn the tide, Arsenal would have expanded the score to two goals.
Arsenal's offensive was overwhelming, and in the 78th minute of the game, Manchester United players' running coverage was significantly reduced due to the reduced physical capacity of the players.
Martin retreated with his back to the goal. Facing Rooney's follow-up defense, he used a very elegant Marseille spin to face the goal. The pendulum passed directly and knocked down the Manchester United captain. Carrick was half a beat too late to commit a foul.
Martin used the outside instep of his right foot to move the ball to the right front and took two strides. Schneiderlin was taken away from the defensive attention by Walcott who advanced forward.
At the same time, Martin, who was advancing with the ball, looked at Bellerin who was advancing at high speed along the right sideline. He actually passed a long diagonal pass to the left in the right rib of the attack.
Sanchez's position inside attracted the attention of Valencia's defense. Mata needed to defend his ribs firmly, which resulted in Monreal, who was driving forward at high speed from the left, unmarked.
The reverse long pass close to 40 meters is very accurate!
The right center back Smalling was able to make up the defense in time, but Martin's long pass and Monreal's movement were just right. The latter did not need to make too many adjustments and directly swept the pass from the sideline of the penalty area on the left to the middle.
Welbeck, who came on as a substitute, had a keen sense of smell in front of the goal. He stepped in front of Rojo and pushed with his left foot.
De Gea failed to make a save and could only watch the ball rush into the net from his right armpit.
"Goooooooooooooooooooal—"
Sky TV commentator Andy Grayra has a long voice.
The fanatical atmosphere in the entire new Wembley Stadium was reignited again, and huge shouts instantly echoed throughout the venue.
Van Gaal, who was standing in the technical command area of the away team, had his mouth half-opened numbly. After a while, he closed his eyes in pain and murmured in a low voice: "No chance."
