Chapter 372 Happy birthday! The first defending team since the Champions League was restructured!

Chapter 372 Fourth birthday! The first team to defend the Champions League since its restructuring!

"Martin, take a free kick in the frontcourt!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray was about to say that Martin wasted an excellent time to delay the game. The scene turned. Chamberlain, who received the ball in the middle, had just thrown the ball out against Ramos' defense. Iss, who was actively defending, Coe kicked behind him, and the referee Bruchy's whistle sounded again. He shouted with unabated force: "Isco gave Arsenal a direct free kick in a very good position!"

"Oh? Isco gave Arsenal a big gift!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei visually determined that the foul spot facing the goal was about thirty meters away, which was completely within Martin's shooting range. The on-site director also gave Martin a close-up shot with meaning: "Martin has completed a hat trick in this game. His foot feels great, will he seize this direct free kick opportunity?"

"Oh My God! Isco is such a good guy!"

shouted BBC Sport commentator Lineker.

At the same time, Isco, who committed a betrayal and foul, faced the referee Bruchy and spread his hands to indicate that he had not kicked Chamberlain.

Although Real Madrid captain Ramos saw that Isco had indeed kicked Chamberlain, he could not admit it and even tried to persuade the referee by applying pressure.

Bruchy smiled and shrugged, pointing to his eyes to show that he could see clearly.

The Real Madrid players who still wanted to say nothing said anything more when they saw that Bruchy's penalty had been decided.

The wonderful replays given by the on-site director later also showed Bruchy's sharp eyes.

Isco did commit a foul.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was still in Arsenal's defensive half, saw Martin walking towards the foul spot, and felt something in his heart.

Head coach Zidane frowned, and strong uneasiness swept through his body instantly.

Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger looked forward to it and was obviously confident that Martin would take the next direct free kick.

The injury time has also entered three minutes. Even if the ball is not kicked directly towards the goal, it is completely fine to safely pass the ball to the wing to consume the game time.

"Martin!"

"Martin!!"

"Martin!!!"

Arsenal fans at the Millennium Stadium chanted Martin's name continuously.

The live director gave Martin a long time.

Messi, who was watching the live broadcast of the game, looked at Martin, who had attracted worldwide attention. Out of the feeling that he was a strong man, he believed that Martin was likely to kill the game.

Real Madrid players filed back into the half court, acting as a human wall, working hard for the only chance of a comeback.

Regardless of whether Martin takes the free kick directly or hands it to another player, he must go back in time to avoid Arsenal delaying time.

There was less than one minute of injury time left. Thinking of 2013 in the 2014-9248 season, every Real Madrid player was full of expectations.

Since Arsenal did not have many people going to Real Madrid's penalty area, there were only Giroud, Chamberlain and two full-backs on the offensive end.

Among them, Records and Chamberlain were near the penalty area line, with Monreal and Bellerin on both sides.

Xhaka and Kanter lined up behind Martin, who took the free kick, to prepare for the possible transition from offense to defense.

So not all Real Madrid players returned to the half, except for the four-man wall required by Navas and the marking of Monreal, Bellerin, Marcelo and Vazquez, Morata, Ronaldo, Bale and I Scott is ready to fight back.

The broadcaster gave the straight-line distance after the human wall was set up: 32 meters.

A direct free kick from a relatively far position.

Martin placed the football at the foul spot sprayed with white foam, with the air nozzle pointing down, and then measured the step back.

"Beep~"

Within two seconds, the referee Bruchy blew his whistle.

The Arsenal fans behind the goal stood up and stared at Martin.

The Real Madrid fans at the far end seemed to sense something, and strong uneasiness invaded their hearts.

"wuwuwuuuuu——"

To alleviate the situation, they booed harshly in an attempt to disrupt Martin's thoughts.

At the same time, Martin, who heard the whistle, automatically blocked out the outside sound and started running.

Considering that the location of the foul was more than thirty meters away from the goal, his approach distance changed from the customary three steps to four steps.

Take a small step with your right foot first, followed by your left foot at a similar distance. The third step with your right foot increases the distance, and the last fourth step takes almost one meter, standing about 25 centimeters to the left of the football. The center of gravity is slightly tilted to the left, approximately 75° to the ground.

Raise your left hand naturally to maintain body balance.

The right foot swings backwards with the knee as the pivot, completely concentrating the power of the thigh and the explosion of the calf onto the instep.

I saw Martin's right foot hit the middle and lower part of the football hard on the instep where the shoelaces are tied, which is the downward part of the air nozzle.

Boom~

Accompanied by a crisp and muffled sound, the football placed on the spot was pushed by the huge force from the bottom up, rising from the ground, whizzing past the top of Real Madrid's four-man wall.

The football flying into the air did not rotate at all, and the Champions League five-star logo was clearly visible.

Standing in the middle of the goal, Navas looked at the flying height of the football flying towards the upper right corner of the goal. After years of training, he subconsciously judged that it was definitely higher than the crossbar, so he did not move.

Unexpectedly, the football flying towards the penalty area seemed to be squeezed by the airflow after reaching the highest point. The football flying downwards sank very much, like a leaf detached from a branch.

"Oops!"

Realizing that the situation was not good, Navas immediately took a small step to the left, used the weak inertia to jump sideways, stretched out his left hand, and at the same time exerted force on his waist and abdomen, intending to throw his body farther.

But the football flew too fast, like a cannonball.

Navas's body had not fully stretched in mid-air, and the football, which increased its dive, scraped the inner edge of the upper post of the right goal and hit the snow-white net with an unstoppable force.

※※※※※

"Goooooooooooal——"

Sky commentator Andy Gray blurted out.

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——"

The Arsenal fans at the Millennium Stadium roared with excitement for the goal.

"Beautiful! Martin scored a wonderful direct free kick just before the fourth minute of stoppage time! Completed his fourth goal of the game!"

"The 20th goal in the Champions League this season!"

"Martin helped Arsenal expand the score to two goals! 4:2!"

"Almost the goal that sealed the victory!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei shouted impassionedly.

"Oh My God! A world-class goal to seal the victory!"

BBC Sports commentator Lineker shouted hysterically.

Martin, who had scored the goal, could not conceal his ecstasy at the moment of scoring the goal that sealed the victory. He opened his arms in excitement, ran to the area where die-hard Arsenal fans gathered, took off his jersey, crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the stands.

I had never received a yellow card before, even if I took off my clothes to celebrate and received a card, I would not hesitate to do so.

Ronaldo, who looked at Martin from a distance, closed his eyes in pain. He knew...the game was over.

Several Real Madrid players collapsed to the ground as if they had been knocked out, covering their faces with their hands, or sighing with their hands on their hips.

Although they were very reluctant to accept this reality, the fanatical atmosphere of the Millennium Stadium rushed towards them, all saying that Arsenal sealed the victory at the last moment of injury time.

Many Real Madrid fans in the audience looked at Martin, who has attracted worldwide attention, and were in a particularly bad mood.

Zidane, who was in the technical area directed by the visiting team's coach, pursed his lips and stood there like a piece of wood.

Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger burst out in anticipation. He opened his arms and ran towards Martin excitedly.

Behind him are Bold, Gary Williams and the players on the bench.

Due to his age, Wenger was quickly surpassed by the assistants and players of the coaching staff.

In the end, even goalkeeper Petr Cech got ahead of him.

The atmosphere was enhanced by this, and the Arsenal fans in the audience became even more excited, and the outburst was particularly powerful, with huge cheers coming one after another.

Wenger looked at Martin, who was surrounded by everyone, and raised a beautiful curve at the corner of his mouth.

He couldn't help but think of his experiences over the years.

Starting from coaching Arsenal, he had a battle of wits with his old rival Sir Alex Ferguson. Later, he built a new stadium and tightened his belt to live a life. Then came a young and ignorant little Musiao, whose sharp mouth can really make people angry.

He was also ridiculed for betraying the captain every year. It was a hard life.

After finally repaying the debt, the big boss and the second boss were at odds with each other. They were fighting openly and secretly. They put in the effort, but they still couldn't get it right.

Until Martin turned out to be a boy, he made the biggest decision in his life.

Personally invite the first-year player who just won the Bundesliga assists title.

He did not hesitate to sell Ergou just to submit a certificate, and he even did not hesitate to issue a military order to his boss.

Spend 8500 million euros + 1500 million euros in floating terms to introduce Martin.

Almost everyone laughed at the possibility that this huge investment would be wasted.

The results of it?

In just two years.

Martin grew step by step and grew at an astonishing rate. In his first season, he led Arsenal to the long-awaited league championship and won all other competitions.

This season, they are even more victorious in defending all the championships they won last season.

Although the Champions League final is not over yet, the injury time has reached the fourth minute, leading by two goals. The referee may call the end of the game at any time, which also means that the Champions League championship is about to be won.

"In life, the most important thing is indeed choice."

Messi, who watched the live broadcast of the game, was filled with emotion and had preliminary recognition of his final selection for various personal honors in 2017.

Martin, you are so capable.

He completely single-handedly led Arsenal to complete the overtake and seal the victory.

※※※※※

The referee Brüsch did not blow the whistle at the end of the game, and the on-site director restored the wonderful replay of Martin's excellent free kick.

The slow-down playback frame by frame allows fans in front of the TV to fully experience what a real visual feast is. The kicked football was simply guided with precision. It flew at extremely high speed according to the trajectory set by Martin. It swept towards the highest point and even sank significantly...

Finally, the powerful and heavy football flew towards the top right corner of the goal with thunderous momentum.

After continuous replays from different angles, even Real Madrid fans had to admit that Martin's goal that sealed the victory was perfect.

Navas' reaction was not unpleasant, but the power and angle of Martin's direct free kick were impeccable!

The Arsenal players' goal celebration lasted for a long time, and the Real Madrid players also knew that there was little time left and simply did not bother. In other words, they had accepted losing to Arsenal in the Champions League final for two consecutive years.

The referee Bruchy did not seem to have any intention of directly blowing the whistle at the end of the game. He took the initiative to run to the Arsenal players' celebration area to remind the game that it was not over yet. He first saluted and then followed up. First, he congratulated Martin on completing his fourth victory in the Champions League final, and then Give a yellow card.

Any stripping celebration will result in a yellow card.

Martin was in a very good mood and didn't care. He had been mentally prepared before celebrating.

Real Madrid players are a little dissatisfied with Bruchy. Thinking that there is not much time left, you don't directly call the end of the game. Do you mean to give another chance to attack?

What's the point?

Even if you get a goal back, isn't it still a loss?

What's the need?

But for many neutral fans, it is a pleasure.

Players from both sides of the game stood on one side, and the stoppage time reached the fifth minute. The referee Bruchy blew his whistle to signal that the game would restart.

Morata kicked the ball to Ronaldo, who kicked the ball to Modric outside the center circle.

Arsenal players directly retreated to their own half to defend, assuming a low defensive posture.

Ramos received Modric's return pass and saw his teammates pressing forward. Without hesitation, he raised his right foot and passed the ball long.

Perhaps because he was too relaxed, Mertesacker's jump while retreating did not hit the football.

Falling out!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who happened to be pushed forward to the edge of the penalty area on the left, was waiting for him. His skillful connection skills were very good. With the outside instep of his right foot, he brought the football that had dropped to knee height to the left rib of the penalty area in front of him, and adjusted his steps accordingly. point.

Van Dijk didn't expect Mertesacker to take the top position at all. He was far away and it was obviously too late to make up for the defense.

Goalkeeper Cech instinctively abandoned the goal.

Ronaldo's right foot supports his body after adjusting his step point, and the instep of his left foot swings towards the middle and upper part of the football.

The football that was close to the ground quickly rolled over before Cech reached out to save the ball, and then hit the inside edge of the right goal post and into the net...

"The ball...the ball went in..."

Central 5 commentator He Weilang said: "Cristiano Ronaldo made a lightning comeback and completed his first career hat-trick in the Champions League final! At the same time, he also set a new personal record in the Champions League! 18 goals! This goal also helped Real Madrid Let’s tie the score to 3:4!”

"But... there is no time left for Real Madrid."

As soon as the commentator Xu Yang finished speaking, the referee Bruchy blew his whistle to indicate that the goal was valid, and then blew two short and one long whistles to end the game.

"Beep~beep~beep~~"

"competition is over!"

"competition is over!!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei was about to say something when he heard the whistle at the end of the game. He shouted with unabated force: "Congratulations to Martin! Congratulations to Arsenal! Defeated Real Madrid 4:3 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff! Become the winner!" The first team to successfully defend the Champions League since its reform!"

Wenger, who was standing in the technical area directed by the home team coach, was a little dissatisfied with Mertesacker's mistake, but when he heard the whistle to end the game, all emotions were replaced by excitement and excitement. He raised his arms high to vent the joy of winning the game. ecstatic.

"aoaooaaoooooo——"

Accompanied by the huge shouts from the Millennium Stadium, Wenger, who had adjusted his mentality, took the initiative to walk to the visiting team's coach to direct the technical area.

Shake hands with Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane and offer some comfort.

The on-site director gave a close-up shot of Martin, who scored four goals in the game.

There is no doubt that the Arsenal captain was the man of the match.

His four wonderful goals directly helped Arsenal become the first team to defend the Champions League since its restructuring.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just scored a hat-trick before the end of the game, couldn't help but look at Martin, who had attracted the attention of the world at this moment, and raised a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.

This guy is too strong.

Although Ronaldo doesn't want to admit this reality, the cold score all means something.

Lost, lost miserably.

The other Real Madrid players akimbo and shook their heads.

The score of 4:3 seemed like a narrow defeat, but after playing the entire game, they knew how dominant Arsenal led by Martin was.

Ask yourself, I played very well throughout the game, and the restrictions on Martin were relatively in place.

The results of it?

Still seize the opportunity to score.

And it’s still a big four.

What to do with such a player?

Martin and his teammates celebrated the victory wildly, and the commentators in the live commentary box/live broadcast room gave all the praises they could say to the Gunners captain.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the reason why Arsenal can succeed is entirely due to Martin's super performance.

Except for the commentators who have die-hard Real Madrid fan backgrounds, they were all eloquent and full of praise.

……

Arsenal players celebrated their victory crazily, and UEFA staff worked hard to set up the equipment for the awards ceremony.

Martin hugged and greeted all his teammates and coaching staff, and then took the initiative to find Ronaldo and gave him a big hug: "Don't be stingy, it's just a loss. I will give you a chance to make a comeback next season."

"I will definitely win the match next season."

Ronaldo raised his head proudly.

"Okay, okay, then you smile."

Martin said with a smile.

Ronaldo: "..."

Other Arsenal players also went to chat with their national team teammates, former teammates, and friends at this time.

"Martin!"

"Martin!!"

"Martin!!!"

The Champions League theme song "Champions League" continued to play on the radio, and the excited Arsenal fans in the audience shouted hysterically.

Feeling the love from Arsenal fans and fans in the audience, Martin responded with applause and thanked everyone for their strong support.

UEFA's staff were very efficient and the awards ceremony scene was set up in less than ten minutes.

The on-site announcer followed the awarding process and reminded the referee team to go to the podium to receive the commemorative medal.

The fanatical atmosphere at the Millennium Stadium dropped quickly, as Arsenal fans obviously wanted to take the opportunity to recuperate before breaking out for the upcoming awards.

After Bruchy and his team of referees received the commemorative medals, the Real Madrid players who lost in the final came on stage to receive the silver medal and runner-up commemorative medals.

Losing to Arsenal in the final again, the Real Madrid players were still in a bad mood despite more than ten minutes of adjustment, and kept a straight face.

The medals worn by the guests receiving awards were all taken off as soon as they walked down the road. Some players kept them for themselves to encourage others, and some simply threw them directly to the fans in the audience, out of sight but out of mind.

As the final Ronaldo walked off the award ceremony, the atmosphere at the Millennium Stadium became feverish.

"aoaoaoaooaoooo——"

Obviously, this was when the Arsenal fans started to get restless and started shouting hysterically.

Finally, the winner is awarded the prize for winning the final!

"Please...all the members of the 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League champions Arsenal come on stage to receive their medals."

The announcer's inflammatory shouts echoed throughout the audience.

Sanchez led the way to the podium set up in the main stand.

Martin was the biggest contributor to Arsenal's championship, so he naturally entered the stadium last in the finale.

Every award presenter took the initiative to chat with Martin. Real Madrid president Florentino also poached in front of Arsenal owner Kroenke, saying that as long as he is willing to join Real Madrid, he can raise his annual salary at will.

Martin politely responded with "Thank you for your appreciation", shook hands with UEFA President Ceferin, and completed the greetings with other guests.

The atmosphere has now dropped significantly.

The Arsenal players in the trophy display area couldn't wait. They put their shoulders on each other's shoulders to ease their expectations and wait for the next carnival moment.

Lux sports commentator Zhan Jun said impassionedly: "Arsenal fans watching the live game, are you ready?"

Ceferin, the new president of UEFA, raised the Saint-Bride Cup placed on the trophy and handed it to Arsenal captain Martin.

"Thank you."

After receiving the trophy, Martin took three steps and two steps at a time, walked to the C position vacated by his teammates, grabbed the ears of the trophy with both hands, and held it high.

"aoaooaoaooaooo——"

The sky above the Millennium Stadium once again erupted with huge, hoarse shouts.

"Arsenal! Are the champions!!!"

James' highly recognizable high-pitched voice spread through the Internet to the ears of fans watching Lex Sports live broadcasts around the world.

At the same time, fans watching the live broadcast of the game can clearly see a set of letters displayed in a prominent position on the screen: 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League champion Arsenal.

The live broadcast then played the Champions League theme song "Champions League", and bright red and white confetti from the spray machine placed behind the podium rose into the sky, and then floated in the wind after the momentum ended.

It looks particularly beautiful under the light.

Whether it was the Arsenal fans at the scene or the Arsenal fans in front of the TV, they could not suppress the ecstasy in their hearts at this moment, and they all made hysterical venting sounds subconsciously.

Martin was particularly excited when he held the trophy high because... this was the first time he lifted the Champions League trophy as captain!

Subsequently, other Arsenal players raised or kissed the trophy in turn, showing it to fans around the world...
