Chapter 302: Stand alone against the Galaxy Battleship
"Beautiful escape from the spot!"
"Speed up! Cross didn't shovel anyone!"
"Long shot—"
"Fake shot, real buckle! Even the camera was shaken!"
"Pendulum? Martin's continuous pendulum knocked down Real Madrid captain Ramos!"
"Navas abandons the goal and attacks!"
"Nice rub and cum!"
"This goal that beats six players through five levels is destined to become a classic goal in the Champions League final!"
The live broadcast restored the entire process of Martin's wonderful goal, and CC5 commentator He Wei spoke impassionedly.
The audience in front of the TV watching the live game was a feast for the eyes. Even Real Madrid fans had to admit that Martin's goal was exquisite enough.
Martin, who has attracted the attention of fans all over the world, quickly calmed down after celebrating his personal goal. He once again played a role in stabilizing the mentality of his teammates. He said that the first half of the game was only more than half over, and he must maintain more concentration when the game restarts. .
The Arsenal players nodded repeatedly, indicating that they knew what to do in the next game.
Wenger noticed that Martin was encouraging his teammates, and the satisfaction in his eyes was getting higher and higher.
Not long after, the game restarted.
Real Madrid, who were lagging behind, played very maturely and did not blindly strengthen their offense just because they were lagging behind.
The frontcourt offense organized by Modric and Kroos was orderly, making Arsenal's defensive system led by Martin gradually feel the pressure.
Of course, it's just that the pressure has increased, and there is no situation of focusing on one thing and losing another.
Martin's defensive end rate was extremely high, and other Arsenal players were positively affected by the lead and became more motivated to run, which did not give Real Madrid players much space to attack.
Bell needs space to sprint, and his long shot cannot be executed due to the dense concentration of defensive personnel.
Another magic weapon, the header, also lost its opportunity to display due to Arsenal's overall excellent defense.
Neither Marcelo nor Carvajal could complete the kicking pass in a relaxed environment.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the most depressed one. He has the absolute right to fire in the team and has tried many long-range shots, but none of them threatened Cech's goal.
Time passed by second by second, and soon it came to the 10st minute of the first half.
"The last 5 minutes of the game in the first half."
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said loudly: "Arsenal relied on Martin's wonderful goal to beat Real Madrid 1:0. I don't know if they can maintain the score advantage until the end of the first half."
Martin really wanted to control the ball when switching from defense to offense, but his teammates' long-term defense led to him forgetting the rhythm of the offense, and there was insufficient tacit understanding of passing and receiving, so that the offense ended hastily.
Fortunately, the counterattack that Real Madrid is good at did not come out, otherwise the two sides would have a high probability of returning to the same starting line.
As the end of the first half drew closer and closer, Wenger, standing in the coaching technical area, became increasingly nervous.
As a professional coach, he knows which time period is most likely to score goals.
He wants the team to score, but is more afraid of the opponent equalizing the score.
If he had to make a choice, Wenger would rather no one score a goal and maintain the existing score until the end of the first half.
Entering the locker room with a 1:0 lead will definitely have a very positive impact on the second half.
Martin focuses all his energy on defense. Even if an opportunity arises, he will mainly make long passes instead of advancing with the ball himself.
The opening goal was very accidental. The moment he passed Benzema with the ball, he keenly captured the distance between the Real Madrid defenders in the center and the backline players, which gave them a certain amount of room for operation.
As the first half came to an end, his teammates had made frequent mistakes in previous attacks. He was worried that Real Madrid, which was good at quick counterattacks, would turn the unfavorable situation from offense to defense into an excellent opportunity to turn from defense to offense.
In the 43rd minute of the game, Ronaldo, who received the ball, felt that the opportunity was not good. He did not try a long shot, but continued to choose to cooperate with his teammates.
This situation is very common near the end of the first half of the game, so no one is surprised.
Ronaldo has a strong obsession with scoring goals, and sometimes he can be selfish, but from another perspective, he is absolutely confident and responsible.
Opportunities must always be grasped in one's own hands.
When realizing that individual opportunities are not good, it is natural to focus on the team.
Therefore, Ronaldo, who received the ball, organized the attack more as a linker, involving Arsenal's defense.
Martin gradually felt a little uneasy. Ronaldo was extremely capable of scoring and deserved special treatment.
He retreats to participate in the offensive organization, but his own players cannot be ignored and must follow him.
A top star like Ronaldo has a strong ability to seize opportunities.
As long as the defensive player dares to take it lightly, he will definitely kick the ball into the goal.
One minute passed very quickly. Ronaldo, who once again retreated to receive the ball, passed the football passed by Modric directly to Marcelo, who was participating in the attack on the left.
Gnabry needed Modric to move in, Martin stayed close to Cristiano Ronaldo, and Bellerin chose to hold on to his position, which resulted in Marcelo being able to pass easily from the left at a 45° angle.
Martin, who was unable to defend Ronaldo, could only turn his head and follow the flight of the football towards the penalty area.
Benzema blindly grabbed the forward point and shook the 1.9-meter-[-] Mertesacker behind him. Bale, who had never performed well before, used his speed advantage to rush to Koscielny and leap high to complete the header.
"wowowowooooo——"
Accompanied by the subconscious screams of Arsenal fans, Cech, who was standing in front of the goal, instinctively reached up with his right hand, just in time to hit the football flying to the left side of the goal over the crossbar.
"Gareth Bell!"
Sky TV commentator Andy Gray shouted: "Petr Cech has done a great job! He saved Arsenal!"
Bell, who had not scored a goal, half-opened his mouth and held his head in his hands, full of disbelief.
What I want to express is - can this be thrown out?
No goal was scored, but the Real Madrid fans in the audience still applauded.
After making a wonderful save, Cech stood up quickly with lingering fear and encouraged his teammates: "Be optimistic about your own people and keep a high level of attention!"
"1 minutes of stoppage time."
Modric walked to the corner kick area, and the on-site director showed a close-up shot to the technical area on the sidelines. Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at the numbers displayed on the electronic board held up by the fourth official and said.
Martin entered the penalty area and marked Ronaldo.
His single defense ability is extremely strong, allowing him to release the energy of other teammates to mark other Real Madrid players.
Modric, who had retreated far enough, gave a tactical gesture, and Ronaldo in the middle of the penalty area was eager to try.
Martin didn't know what role Ronaldo played in Real Madrid's corner kick attack, so he could only respond to changes by staying the same.
At this moment, Modric started to run, and Ronaldo in the middle suddenly retreated from the center line of the small penalty area to the penalty spot.
Martin, who was responsible for marking, followed subconsciously. From the corner of his eye, he watched the football rising from the ground and flying forward from the corner area, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Bell!"
Central 5 commentator He Wei watched Bell handle the ball as he suddenly accelerated to the left edge of the small penalty area, and his voice rose an octave: "Head the ball and rub it back!"
Martin, who was taken away from the defense zone, looked back at the football that was pushed into the goal by Bell, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
That... man who is the strongest knife-wielding guard this season!
"Sergio Ramos!"
Jorge Valdano, a senior commentator on Spain's BeIN Sports TV station, couldn't help but raise his voice an octave when he saw the man wearing the Real Madrid captain's armband.
Ramos, who appeared at the ball's landing point, relayed the header and passed Bell's right header towards the goal.
Even if Cech reacts quickly, there is nothing he can do when facing such a close header...
※※※※※
"Goooooooooooooooool——"
Jorge Valdano, who was holding the commentary box tightly in the commentary box, shouted hysterically: "If Real Madrid has only one miracle, then the creator of this miracle must be Sergio Ramos!"
The Real Madrid fans at the Meazza Stadium were ecstatic and cheered for Ramos who equalized the score.
Countless fans can't help but think of 9248 two years ago.
Ramos, who scored the goal, also performed particularly crazy. He was absolutely responsible for the previous conceding of the ball, and was knocked to the ground by Martin, completely humiliated.
Scoring before the end of the first half is tantamount to saving face.
The two sides ended the half with a score of 1:1, which will have a very positive significance for the second half of the game.
Hysterical roars, long kneeling slides, hands behind the ears, listening to the violent sounds released by Real Madrid fans.
Although Ronaldo did not score a goal, he also played a vital role in the corner kick attack.
[Tune the tiger away from the mountain]
Attracting Martin out of the core defense zone made a major contribution to Bell's successful connection with Ramos.
You must know that as the top star of a team, he should be the most outstanding one, but... he is willing to sacrifice himself for the team!
The score displayed on the scoreboard became 1:1, and Ronaldo also felt particularly accomplished.
Who said that contribution requires scoring goals yourself?
The on-site director restored the goal, and Central 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "Real Madrid's corner kick tactical arrangement was really unexpected. They actually used the top star Cristiano Ronaldo as a cover. Martin did not expect, nor did other Arsenal players, that this goal... was lost. It's not unfair! If every attack is done step by step, it will lose its special meaning."
Arsenal, who won the right to kick off, did not create any decent opportunities. Finally, Giroud received the ball in the left rib of the penalty area and shot consecutively.
Affected by the body's failure to reverse the past, the shot did not hit the goal range.
"beep~"
The referee Kaushoy blew the whistle at the end of the first half. …
"The first half is over!"
"Arsenal took the lead with Martin's heroic goal. Before the end of the first half, the Real Madrid captain, who was absolutely responsible for conceding the goal, knocked Bell's header in front of the goal and headed it into Cech's guarded goal, helping Real Madrid equalize. Score! 1:1!"
Central 5 commentator He Wei concluded: "Both sides are back on the same starting line. I believe that the second half of the game will definitely become more exciting."
At the same time, the on-site director gave close-ups to the players on both sides.
The Arsenal players who appeared on the broadcast screen were obviously a little depressed, while the Real Madrid players who equalized the score in stoppage time in the first half were in a very good mood, hanging around in twos and threes.
As the players from both teams returned to their respective locker rooms, the fanatical atmosphere in the noisy Meazza stadium dropped to freezing point. Even the die-hard fans of the two teams consciously took the time to recuperate and continue to fight for the second half of the game.
In football matches, it’s often not just the players who fight.
Home team locker room.
Assistant coach Bould closed the door, and the sound from the stadium suddenly stopped.
Seeing that his teammates were unhappy, Martin once again played the role of inciting emotions.
After a while, Wenger noticed a significant improvement in the players' desire to fight.
His eyes flashed, and his focus quickly shifted to the second half of the game.
While it was nice to end the half-time lead, a draw was also expected.
Real Madrid's overall strength is strong. Except for Martin, the opposing players in each position are stronger than Real Madrid, and other positions are at a disadvantage. Looking at it from another perspective, the first half ended at 1:1, which is very ideal.
Visiting team locker room.
The emotions of Real Madrid players became high as Ramos scored the equalizing goal in stoppage time. Head coach Zidane saw this and was confident in the second half of the game.
But before that, he still needs to make tactical fine-tuning for the second half.
……
The 15-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides of the Champions League final returned to the court one after another to prepare for the second half of the game.
Compared with the end of the first half, the players of both teams were calmer.
Scanning the screen, they all had solemn expressions on their faces.
They all know that the next 45 minutes will determine the final championship.
If a winner cannot be decided during this period, the two sides will enter overtime or even a penalty shootout.
The season has come to the final decisive battle, and no one dares to ignore it.
Wenger and Zidane were satisfied with the performance of their respective players in the first half, so they did not make adjustments before changing sides.
"beep~"
The referee Kaushoy blew the whistle, and Benzema kicked the ball to Ronaldo at the kick-off point. The latter handed it directly to the midfielder Modric, and he and Cross decided the next attack method and direction.
The defensive system led by Martin focused on defense at the beginning of the second half and basically did not consider offense.
Even if you get the opportunity to switch from defense to offense, it is difficult to create a threat. Everyone knows that Martin is the absolute core. The first rule of switching from offense to defense is to keep an eye on Martin, which means that the Arsenal players who have the ball can only Think of other ways.
The two full-backs Sanchez and Gnabry are positioned very deep, making it unrealistic to directly play long passes.
The result of the forced pass is either a Real Madrid player completing a steal for a second offensive opportunity, or Arsenal getting a free kick in the backcourt.
Real Madrid won the ball continuously, the offensive organization passed the ball very quickly, and vertical passes began to increase.
Ronaldo was closely guarded by Martin and his chances were not good.
But Ronaldo effectively attracted Arsenal's strongest defensive firepower, which was equivalent to liberating other offensive points.
Benzema, Bale and Modric got shooting opportunities one after another.
If it weren't for Cech's heroic performance, Real Madrid would have taken the lead at the beginning of the second half.
"Real Madrid's offensive during this period can be described as a surge~"
Central 5 commentator He Wei said loudly, if you listen carefully, you will feel a slight worry.
The broadcast screen showed Martin again, with a rare solemn look on his handsome face.
After a while, Martin decided to let go of marking Ronaldo.
He admitted that Ronaldo's personal scoring ability is very strong, but other Real Madrid players should not be underestimated.
As the core of defense, what you should do most is to assist the whole team in completing defense.
After clearing his mind and returning to the central defensive position, Martin once again showed his strong ability to command the defensive line.
Zidane, who was standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, was keenly aware of the decline in the team's offense.
As time went by, Arsenal gradually gained offensive opportunities.
Martin did not rush to launch an attack, but connected the whole team by passing the ball back and forth, allowing his teammates to take a breath while finding the rhythm of the attack.
In the 52nd minute of the game, Martin sent an exquisite pass from the right flank of the attack.
The football pierced the sky like a rainbow, bypassing Ramos at the front point and accurately finding Giroud between him and Pepe.
Navas, who was very focused, reproduced his god-like reaction in front of the goal. He stretched his arms sideways and blocked the football that Giroud headed towards the goal.
Ramos, who returned to the goal due to the inertia, had quick eyes and quick feet and cleared the ball out of the baseline.
"wowowowoowoooo——"
Real Madrid fans screamed in shock over the Meazza stadium.
Giroud, who missed the ball, screamed in annoyance and then gave Martin a thumbs up.
Martin, who almost caused an assist, also gave Giroud a thumbs up.
The lack of goals was not only related to the fact that the angle of the ball was not widened, but also directly related to Navas's extremely quick reaction in front of the goal.
Based on the distance just now, half of the goalkeepers would be unable to do anything.
It makes perfect sense for [an excellent goalkeeper to be able to carry half the team].
The corner kick taken by Sanchez was very confronting and was passed to Martin.
Unfortunately, the height of the football kicked out was slightly lacking, and Ramos, who was in a forward position, kicked the ball out of bounds.
Arsenal received a throw-in from the right side of the frontcourt.
The on-site director took this opportunity to give a slow-motion replay.
"Martin's goal-scoring ability continues to improve, and his specialty assists have not deteriorated because of this. In the next game, Real Madrid players must not only limit Martin's ball-handling, long-range shooting, and passing, but also prevent Martin from passing the ball on the right. middle."
He Wei said impassionedly.
Bellerin threw a foul ball in the frontcourt. After three passes and two downs, the football rolled towards Martin again.
Facing the siege of Benzema, Modric and Kroos coming from three directions, Martin dropped his right shoulder and pretended to move the ball forward to the right, deceiving Benzema and Kroos to go outside. Line turns.
Martin made full use of the flexibility of his ankle and slammed the inside of the instep of his right foot to the left side of the rolling football.
Modric tried to pull Martin, but failed to catch him.
In order to avoid being forcibly wiped away by Martin with his strong body, Modric did not stick to him, but kept enough distance sideways to ensure that he would not be completely broken through.
Little did he know that this was the moment Martin was waiting for.
Facing the left side, he didn't make too many adjustments. He directly raised his right foot about 30 meters away from the baseline on the right rib of the attack, and kicked the rolling football with the three toes on the outer instep.
The kicked football had a strong external spin arc, like a meteor piercing the sky, flying quickly and urgently towards the left rib of the penalty area.
"Take off!"
Right center back Pepe's vigorous take-off when retreating did not hit the football. Central 5 commentator He Wei shouted passionately: "Sanchez!"
Sanchez, who ran to the left edge of the small penalty area at high speed, was very focused. He adjusted his steps and hit the ball with his forehead while Navas decisively abandoned the goal.
Navas subconsciously reached out to block it, but did not touch it.
"wowowoooooooo——"
The frightened exclamations resounded above the stadium again.
"The ball goes in——"
Central 5 commentator He Wei's pupils shrank, and he changed the topic without losing momentum: "No goal! Sanchez's header hit the side netting!"
In the visiting team coach's technical area at the far end of the court, Zidane secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Pepe also had the same reaction, otherwise he would be in big trouble.
Sanchez, who did not put the ball into the goal, put his hands on his hips and shook his head helplessly.
He then gave a thumbs up to Martin who made a precise pass.
The on-site director once again showed the camera to Martin.
If it is possible that it was luck, then sending two consecutive accurate crosses that bypassed the defensive players shows that Martin has a strong ability to feed the cake, but it is a pity that his teammates did not grasp it.
"Martin is really hard to guard! He can compete with Real Madrid on his own."
Spanish BeIN Sports TV commentator Jorge Valdano said solemnly: "You have limited his long-range shots and the ability to move forward with the ball, but he still has the ability to pass the ball accurately. Next... it should be all together. It’s time for Nadine to have a headache.”
Zidane pursed his lips and glanced at Martin, who was sending precise passes continuously, and suddenly felt a headache.
(End of this chapter)
"Beautiful escape from the spot!"
"Speed up! Cross didn't shovel anyone!"
"Long shot—"
"Fake shot, real buckle! Even the camera was shaken!"
"Pendulum? Martin's continuous pendulum knocked down Real Madrid captain Ramos!"
"Navas abandons the goal and attacks!"
"Nice rub and cum!"
"This goal that beats six players through five levels is destined to become a classic goal in the Champions League final!"
The live broadcast restored the entire process of Martin's wonderful goal, and CC5 commentator He Wei spoke impassionedly.

The two full-backs Sanchez and Gnabry are positioned very deep, making it unrealistic to directly play long passes.
The result of the forced pass is either a Real Madrid player completing a steal for a second offensive opportunity, or Arsenal getting a free kick in the backcourt.
Real Madrid won the ball continuously, the offensive organization passed the ball very quickly, and vertical passes began to increase.
Ronaldo was closely guarded by Martin and his chances were not good.
But Ronaldo effectively attracted Arsenal's strongest defensive firepower, which was equivalent to liberating other offensive points.
Benzema, Bale and Modric got shooting opportunities one after another.
If it weren't for Cech's heroic performance, Real Madrid would have taken the lead at the beginning of the second half.
"Real Madrid's offensive during this period can be described as a surge~"
Central 5 commentator He Wei said loudly, if you listen carefully, you will feel a slight worry.
The broadcast screen showed Martin again, with a rare solemn look on his handsome face.
After a while, Martin decided to let go of marking Ronaldo.
He admitted that Ronaldo's personal scoring ability is very strong, but other Real Madrid players should not be underestimated.
As the core of defense, what you should do most is to assist the whole team in completing defense.
After clearing his mind and returning to the central defensive position, Martin once again showed his strong ability to command the defensive line.
Zidane, who was standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, was keenly aware of the decline in the team's offense.
As time went by, Arsenal gradually gained offensive opportunities.
Martin did not rush to launch an attack, but connected the whole team by passing the ball back and forth, allowing his teammates to take a breath while finding the rhythm of the attack.
In the 52nd minute of the game, Martin sent an exquisite pass from the right flank of the attack.
The football pierced the sky like a rainbow, bypassing Ramos at the front point and accurately finding Giroud between him and Pepe.
Navas, who was very focused, reproduced his god-like reaction in front of the goal. He stretched his arms sideways and blocked the football that Giroud headed towards the goal.
Ramos, who returned to the goal due to the inertia, had quick eyes and quick feet and cleared the ball out of the baseline.
"wowowowoowoooo——"
Real Madrid fans screamed in shock over the Meazza stadium.
Giroud, who missed the ball, screamed in annoyance and then gave Martin a thumbs up.
Martin, who almost caused an assist, also gave Giroud a thumbs up.
The lack of goals was not only related to the fact that the angle of the ball was not widened, but also directly related to Navas's extremely quick reaction in front of the goal.
Based on the distance just now, half of the goalkeepers would be unable to do anything.
It makes perfect sense for [an excellent goalkeeper to be able to carry half the team].
The corner kick taken by Sanchez was very confronting and was passed to Martin.
Unfortunately, the height of the football kicked out was slightly lacking, and Ramos, who was in a forward position, kicked the ball out of bounds.
Arsenal received a throw-in from the right side of the frontcourt.
The on-site director took this opportunity to give a slow-motion replay.
"Martin's goal-scoring ability continues to improve, and his specialty assists have not deteriorated because of this. In the next game, Real Madrid players must not only limit Martin's ball-handling, long-range shooting, and passing, but also prevent Martin from passing the ball on the right. middle."
He Wei said impassionedly.
Bellerin threw a foul ball in the frontcourt. After three passes and two downs, the football rolled towards Martin again.
Facing the siege of Benzema, Modric and Kroos coming from three directions, Martin dropped his right shoulder and pretended to move the ball forward to the right, deceiving Benzema and Kroos to go outside. Line turns.
Martin made full use of the flexibility of his ankle and slammed the inside of the instep of his right foot to the left side of the rolling football.
Modric tried to pull Martin, but failed to catch him.
In order to avoid being forcibly wiped away by Martin with his strong body, Modric did not stick to him, but kept enough distance sideways to ensure that he would not be completely broken through.
Little did he know that this was the moment Martin was waiting for.
Facing the left side, he didn't make too many adjustments. He directly raised his right foot about 30 meters away from the baseline on the right rib of the attack, and kicked the rolling football with the three toes on the outer instep.
The kicked football had a strong external spin arc, like a meteor piercing the sky, flying quickly and urgently towards the left rib of the penalty area.
"Take off!"
Right center back Pepe's vigorous take-off when retreating did not hit the football. Central 5 commentator He Wei shouted passionately: "Sanchez!"
Sanchez, who ran to the left edge of the small penalty area at high speed, was very focused. He adjusted his steps and hit the ball with his forehead while Navas decisively abandoned the goal.
Navas subconsciously reached out to block it, but did not touch it.
"wowowoooooooo——"
The frightened exclamations resounded above the stadium again.
"The ball goes in——"
Central 5 commentator He Wei's pupils shrank, and he changed the topic without losing momentum: "No goal! Sanchez's header hit the side netting!"
In the visiting team coach's technical area at the far end of the court, Zidane secretly let out a sigh of relief.
Pepe also had the same reaction, otherwise he would be in big trouble.
Sanchez, who did not put the ball into the goal, put his hands on his hips and shook his head helplessly.
He then gave a thumbs up to Martin who made a precise pass.
The on-site director once again showed the camera to Martin.
If it is possible that it was luck, then sending two consecutive accurate crosses that bypassed the defensive players shows that Martin has a strong ability to feed the cake, but it is a pity that his teammates did not grasp it.
"Martin is really hard to guard! He can compete with Real Madrid on his own."
Spanish BeIN Sports TV commentator Jorge Valdano said solemnly: "You have limited his long-range shots and the ability to move forward with the ball, but he still has the ability to pass the ball accurately. Next... it should be all together. It’s time for Nadine to have a headache.”
Zidane pursed his lips and glanced at Martin, who was sending precise passes continuously, and suddenly felt a headache.
