Chapter 368 The world-wide battle between the king of the finals and the king of the Champions League

"Goooooooooooooal—"

"Cristiano Ronaldo!"

"Help Real Madrid take the lead at the Millennium Stadium!"

"The 16th goal in the Champions League this season! Cristiano Ronaldo ties Martin, and the two once again share the top scorer list in the Champions League!"

"Real Madrid's quick counterattack was so quick, it was like mercury falling to the ground."

……

The commentator in the commentary box blurted out.

Ronaldo was very excited to score the goal. He opened his arms and excitedly bypassed Bale and Benzema who came forward to celebrate the goal and ran towards the corner kick area on the left side of the attack.

As he ran, he slapped his chest with his right hand, and then pointed at the ground with his index fingers, indicating that he was the king of this green field.

Finally, there’s the signature ‘siu’ celebration as he runs into the corner.

The Real Madrid fans at the Millennium Stadium were particularly excited, hysterically expressing their joy at the opening goal.

Zidane, who was directed by the visiting team coach in the technical area, was obviously greatly affected. He excitedly raised his fisted arms and waved them vigorously.

He knew that as long as he took the lead, the next game would be much easier to play.

At the other end, Arsenal coach Wenger raised his eyebrows slightly, a little worried about the score falling behind.

Falling behind in the finals feels stronger than falling behind at any time.

But when his eyes glanced at Martin, who was completely untroubled, the particularly intense melancholy he felt at first disappeared in an instant.

Immediately, the director restored the entire process of Ronaldo's goal.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "Real Madrid's quick counterattack is really fast. It is comparable to the counterattack of Mu's Real Madrid back then. The players in the midfield and frontcourt play the ball very fast, and there is no way for Martin, Kante's opportunity to get on the body was a good goal for Arsenal."

After finishing his personal goal celebration, Ronaldo couldn't help but glance at Martin. The corners of his mouth were raised slightly, with a slight arc, and his provocative smile was beyond words.

Martin obviously knew what Ronaldo wanted to express, and he shrugged his shoulders and gave him a look.

Ronaldo also understood it, and he smiled happily.

The on-site director keenly captured something. He switched to a low-angle oblique camera position, just in time to see the subtle facial expressions of Martin and Ronaldo.

Guest commentator Xu Yang said: "The way Martin and Ronaldo communicate is a bit special."

"The next game may be more exciting than we imagined."

He Wei smiled.

"Beep~"

Not long after, the players from both sides of the game returned to their respective half-courts, and the referee Bruchy blew his whistle to signal that the game would restart.

Arsenal had previous experience of conceding the ball, and their offense was steady. Xhaka did not dare to blindly play the ball. He mainly focused on safe cross passes and back passes, and all forward passing authority was given to Martin.

Although this choice reduces the risk, it greatly increases the offensive pressure on Martin.

That is to say, the areas where Real Madrid's defense needs to focus on are reduced. Xhaka can relax appropriately when holding the ball or as a potential receiving object, and when Martin has the ball or is close to passing the ball, he can focus 100%.

The defensive tactics Zidane formulated before the game to limit Martin began to play a huge role.

It is also true that Arsenal will not lose the ball when they switch from offense to defense, which can be regarded as neutralizing the situation.

Real Madrid, who are leading the score, are not in a hurry. Anyway, they can win the game as long as they don't concede the ball.

However, Ronaldo is a little anxious. He really wants to overtake Martin in the scorer list.

两人现在都是打进16球，距离自己在2013-2014赛季欧冠联赛创造的17球纪录只剩1球，他可是还想着戴帽创造新纪录。

Of course, Ronaldo also knows that goals can’t come in a hurry and can only wait for opportunities.

"aoaoaooaoaoooooo——"

The atmosphere at the Millennium Stadium was as fanatical as ever, with overwhelming cheers coming one after another.

Time passed by second by second and soon came to half an hour.

The two sides went back and forth in the past ten minutes, but there was no shot that directly threatened the opponent's goal.

After all, Martin is still under very tight defense.

It's OK to catch the ball, and it's OK to pass the ball back.

But potential passing lanes going forward, getting rid of, shooting, no.

Casemiro is like a dog-skin plaster, almost following him as soon as he enters the defensive zone.

From an angle that the referee Bruchy cannot see, there will be a little move that South American players are good at.

The key is that Modric, who is good at offense and defense, is very good at assisting in defense. He can attack in time without fouling blindly. It is obvious that he has made targeted arrangements before the game.

The purpose is not to give Martin a direct free kick to get a comfortable position.

In addition, corner kicks are always avoided if possible.

Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at Martin, who had not performed well for half an hour: "It seems that Zidane has studied Martin very thoroughly. At the 31st minute of the game, Martin did not even get a decent chance."

"That's why Real Madrid's defenders have to pay close attention at all times. When they see Martin doing well, it's a goal."

Guest commentator Xu Yang has almost blind confidence in Martin.

The same goes for the countless Arsenal and Martin fans sitting in front of their televisions.

When the time came to the 37th minute, Real Madrid's attack ended with Marcelo's cross after widening the attack width.

The football that drew a wonderful arc in mid-air was too close to the small penalty area, and Cech easily got it.

Ronaldo's position was blocked by Van Dijk, who wanted to grab the point. Benzema was a bit far away, so he gave up the fight for the top.

After receiving the football, Cech did not rush to throw the ball out. First of all, Martin was marked, and it was unrealistic to give Cavani a big foot. He simply slapped the ball with his hand continuously, and waited until the Real Madrid player walked away before throwing the ball to Van Dijk. .

Arsenal's offense slowly advanced from the backcourt. Xhaka did not dare to pass the threatening ball forward and was limited to the 30-meter area of ​​attack, because it would be easy to make mistakes when passing forward. However, the organization of the attack and the direction in the midfield No problem moving forward.

After a series of continuous attacks back and forth, that is, from the left to the right, and then from the right to the left.

Arsenal's 4231 formation gradually turned into 4411. Martin followed Sanchez, Monreal and Xhaka to press forward to the front of the penalty area.

In the past few waves of offense, Martin has often appeared in this position.

In addition, Martin, who is good at long shots, will get a kicking opportunity from this position in almost every game.

Casemiro is always keeping a close eye on him, and Varane is also keeping an eye on him.

Sanchez took the ball in the left rib of the attack and moved in, leading Carvajal inward. Xhaka's forward thrust took away Cross's defensive attention.

Monreal moved forward along the left sideline. Bell, who had stopped playing as a defender for a long time, was still very conscious in the Champions League final, following the forward Arsenal left back.

Sanchez, who had taken two steps in, suddenly took a small step sideways to the right with the outside instep of his right foot, widening the distance between him and Carvajal, and unexpectedly made a pass at about 45° from the attack on the left rib. .

Carvajal, who was maintaining a safe distance, stretched his legs belatedly and was unable to block the ball. The football shot up from the ground with a strong internal rotation arc and flew from the left rib of Arsenal's attack to the right rib of the penalty area.

According to the tactics formulated before the game, Cavani in the middle of the penalty area led Ramos to run forward. When Marcelo had no time to move in, a small no-man's land was created between the penalty spot and the right rib of the penalty area. .

Sanchez's 45° cross from the left rib directly found the head of Martin who was running towards the leaked vacuum area, that is, running towards the designated area. However, Sanchez's cross required Martin to run a little backward, so that he had to brake suddenly.

Casemiro and Varane, who had to help defend when they entered the penalty area, both made an emergency stop on the spot.

Since they have entered the penalty area, neither of them can take action, which gives Martin, whose balance, reaction, and explosive power are close to the limit, a certain amount of room to operate.

Martin suddenly stopped and turned around, turning from facing the goal to facing away from the goal, looking directly at the slowly falling football with a sharp gaze.

Adjusting two small steps back, the right foot that finally touched the ground was two yards away from the penalty area line, and he stood on tiptoe. The super explosive power and huge reaction force made the whole person jump up.

The upper body leans back with the already backward center of gravity. The left foot that is swinging upward is raised to the height of the waist. The right foot that exerts force uses the waist as the axis. The explosion of the calf drives the power of the thigh to swing upward.

His left hand dropped naturally to maintain his body balance. From an almost inverted perspective, he looked at the position of goalkeeper Navas through the body gap blocked by Varane and Casemiro's tacit understanding. He raised his right foot to the highest point and hit the instep hard. In the upper part of the falling football.

The whole action is smooth and smooth, making it full of viewing pleasure.

"This……"

"Upside down golden hook!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei instinctively placed his hands on the commentator's seat and blurted out excitedly.

The Real Madrid fans behind the goal were stunned. From their view, Martin's raised right foot was almost at the same level as Varane's head as he took off.

You know, Varane is 1.91 meters tall! The football kicked out by Martin roared past the shoulder space that Varane and Casemiro had not had time to block after taking off, and quickly headed towards the lower right corner of the goal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas is a fierce fighter who uses tennis training to make saves. His reaction at the goal line was extremely abnormal. However, this time he couldn't make timely movements when watching the football come out of the gap, so he could only watch the falling football on the right side. The inner edge of the goal post bounced off the ground and hit the snow-white net...

※※※※※

“Goooooooooooooooooal——”

Sky commentator Andy Gray blurted out subconsciously.

"Oh My God!"

BBC sports commentator Lineker exclaimed: "Wonderful upside-down golden hook! Martin helped Arsenal equalize the score!"

"My God~~This ball is so beautiful!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice suddenly rose an octave: "Martin's height in the air is very high and his movements are smooth. This is definitely the most beautiful upside-down golden hook I have ever seen in my career as a commentator! A stunning goal!"

"wowowowo~~~~"

Countless commentators are still amazed.

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——"

The Arsenal fans at the Millennium Stadium instinctively let out a deafening roar.

After completing the golden hook, Martin fell back to the ground with his naturally hanging left hand. As soon as he saw the football entering the net, he felt the heat wave coming towards him.

With a smile on his face, he stood up naturally, opened his arms, and hugged Cavani, Sanchez, Gnabry, Xhaka and other teammates who came forward to celebrate, and celebrated the equalizing goal together!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was standing outside the arc of his own center circle, looked at Martin, who was surrounded by Arsenal players, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

His position was just right to see Martin complete the entire process of hanging the golden hook upside down.

Regardless of the position, this ball was really beautiful!

A super goal that is hard to replicate.

Wenger, who was in charge of the technical area as the coach of the home team, had his mouth half open and kept a rather surprised expression until his assistant Bolt shouted in his ear: "Head, we equalized the score!"

Zidane on the other end shook his head depressedly.

If Ronaldo's goal is a quick counterattack goal for the team, then Martin's goal is the ultimate individualistic goal.

Both goals were great to watch and very adrenaline-stimulating.

Barcelona star Messi, who was watching the live broadcast of the game, was still thinking about Martin's goal. After a while, he muttered: "What a monster!"

"The 17th goal in the Champions League this season!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at the close-up of Martin's face in the broadcast screen and continued to shout: "Martin has tied the single-season scoring record set by Cristiano Ronaldo in the UEFA Champions League in the 2013-2014 season! As long as he scores in the remaining game time Score one more goal and you can create your own Champions League single-season scoring record!"

……

The live director continuously showed the scoring process from different angles, frame by frame, and the fans sitting in front of the TV felt particularly satisfied.

"The height of Martin's foot lift when he scored with the golden hook upside down was really high. From this angle, it was even higher than Varane after taking off!"

He Wei spoke impassionedly: "This goal is almost certain to lock in the best goal of the 2016-2017 season! It can even... lock in the best goal of the year in 2017!"

"I can see it."

Guest commentator Xu Yangning nodded.

……

Before the game restarted, the on-site director gave meaningful close-ups of many Real Madrid stars, among which Cristiano Ronaldo was given the longest time.

What I want to express is already very obvious.

Martin responded, should Ronaldo continue to work hard?

In fact, Ronaldo already had a plan in mind when he saw Martin scoring goals. He... wants to continue scoring goals!

Not only must he help the team complete the score reversal, but he must also defend his own Champions League single-season scoring record!

His desire to win is extremely strong, so he naturally wants to do something.

"Beep~"

The Bruchy whistle sounded and the game continued.

Real Madrid's offense was still the same as before, step by step, making full use of the width of the field to pull Arsenal's defense.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale all have strong header capabilities, and Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo, Modric and Toni Kroos all have strong long-range shooting capabilities.

As long as space for shooting is created, it is very likely to cause trouble for Cech in guarding the goal.

"aoaoaooooooooo——"

Real Madrid continued to attack in the frontcourt, and the fanatical atmosphere continued to be high. The mighty momentum spread from the stadium to the surrounding square, and the shouts from the Millennium Stadium could even be heard on the main road a few kilometers away.

Affected by the return of the game to the balance stage, both sides were attacking and defending each other, and no shots that actually threatened the opponent were created.

However, the two teams played back-and-forth, which was very enjoyable for neutral fans to watch.

The game is of a high level and time often passes very quickly, reaching the end of the first half in a blink of an eye.

Although Cavani overwhelmed Ramos in the middle of the penalty area and headed Martin's cross from the right toward the goal. The angle was not bad, but he lacked strength and Navas, who was very focused, easily deflected it sideways.

There was little time left in the first half, and Arsenal filed back into their own half, allowing Real Madrid to easily move the ball from the midfield to the frontcourt.

Martin's position is very free, and he can move ahead to resolve potential threats by judging the situation.

However, Kroos and Modric, who are responsible for organizing Real Madrid's offense, are both masters, and Casemiro can also play a key role in distributing the ball, so Martin can only ensure that the core area is not controlled.

After continuous passes, the time came to the 45th minute, and the fourth official came to the sideline holding the electronic sign high.

"One minute of injury time."

As Sky TV commentator Andy Gray shouted, Cross, who was attacking behind the left flank, received Modric's return ball and made slight adjustments, then sent a precise long pass to the right.

Carvajal stopped the ball while running. He looked up at his teammates in the penalty area and caught Gnabry approaching quickly. Without making too many adjustments, he passed the ball directly to the penalty area.

The football shot up from the ground with a strong inward arc. Bell and Koscielny, who ran to the front point, gave up taking off when they looked at the flying height of the football.

Benzema and Van Dijk were entangled with each other in the middle of the penalty area. Although Van Dijk was unable to take off and use his strength to head the ball, he still used his height advantage to head the ball out, but not far.

Xhaka, who happened to be in the top circle of the penalty area, looked at the football falling about one meter from the penalty area line, and quickly took two steps to jump to head the ball.

Soon enough, a long leg wrapped in purple socks appeared in Xhaka's sight!

This……

Immediately, Xhaka saw the instep of this leg kicking the middle and lower part of the football he was about to hit.

"-Cristiano Ronaldo!!"

BBC sports commentator Lineker looked at the figure appearing on the broadcast screen, and his voice suddenly rose an octave.

The die-hard Arsenal fans behind the goal had their pupils shrunken, looking at Ronaldo hanging upside down with a golden hook, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

A few tenths of a second later, the football was kicked toward the goal by Cristiano Ronaldo. With a strong top-down parabola, it passed over the left shoulder of Van Dijk, who instinctively wanted to block it with his body, and quickly flew to the upper left corner of the goal.

Cech's vision was somewhat disturbed, and by the time he saw the football, it was too late to make a sideways save after stepping to the right.

"Goooooooooooooal——"

"Beautiful! Cristiano Ronaldo! Helped Real Madrid take the lead again before the end of the first half!"

"Wonderful overhead kick! Cristiano Ronaldo used his super toughness to score an incredible goal! This goal is also Cristiano Ronaldo's 17th goal in the Champions League this season! It equals the personal record created in the 2013-2014 season Champions League single-season scoring record!”

"That man! Cristiano Ronaldo!! In, in, in!!!"

"The way Martin scored the equalizing goal exceeded the score again! This... is the king of the Champions League!"

……

The football with the Champions League five-star logo crashed into the snow-white net, and the commentator in the live commentary box/live broadcast room blurted out.

After scoring the goal, Ronaldo became crazy again. After getting up from the ground, he opened his arms and ran to the corner kick area on the right side of the attack with a ferocious look. He used the iconic 'siu' to celebrate his first goal in the game. Two goals!

"Siuuuuuuuuuuu——"

When Ronaldo's mouth turned into an 'O', all the Real Madrid fans and neutral fans joining in the fun responded in unison.

Martin, who was still outside the penalty area, felt a little emotional when he witnessed the whole process of Ronaldo completing the overhead kick.

It's also an upside-down golden hook, but it's certainly not as enjoyable as the one he scored to equalize the score. It's just that the time it took Ronaldo to score the goal was terrible.

Injury time in the first half...

Coupled with the highly ornamental upside-down gold hook.
