Chapter 386: Let two chase three, the new World Footballer steps forward

"wuwwuwuuuu——"

The Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium naturally did not allow the Arsenal players to show off their power at their home stadium. They hysterically booed the Arsenal players who were celebrating wildly in the stadium.

Arsenal players who have been treated unfairly for a long time want this effect.

Otherwise, how can you vent your frustration?

Bellerin even received a yellow card for provoking the home fans because of his excessive celebration.

The score has been evened, so naturally they won't care about this.

As the head coach, Wenger saw potential safety risks and immediately asked his assistant Bold to call Alves over.

At critical moments, veterans may play a greater role.

Manchester City, playing at home, took a two-goal lead and was beaten by Arsenal twice in a row, which was a huge blow at the time.

But Manchester City players are experienced in many battles, have experienced various battles, and have strong abilities to accept reality and adjust their mentality.

The situation returned to the balanced stage. Manchester City, who had the right to kick-off, played more carefully and focused on playing steadily.

The offense relies more on the two wings and the ribs, as well as the main success rate.

Time often passes very quickly in high-level matches, and in a blink of an eye, it reaches the full seventy-five minutes of the game.

This time is the physical node of the starting players. In order to ensure the offensive efficiency and the normal operation of the transition from offense to defense, both sides consciously slow down the offensive rhythm to allow the starting players to take a breath and prepare for the impact at the end of the game.

Everyone knows that once a goal is scored at this time, it is tantamount to a sure win.

The result of the game is very important to both sides, and a draw is the most helpless option.

In addition, the two teams also confuse each other by slowing down the offensive rhythm to see if they can catch the sudden change in rhythm and exceed the score!

In the calm game situation, both sides have hidden murderous intentions.

The fans of the home team still cheered excitedly and cheered for the players who struggled on the field.

De Bruyne worked extra hard to find the shortcomings of Arsenal's defensive system through running without hesitation.

With captain David Silva out, he has greater responsibilities in attack.

Gundogan comes off the bench with more tasks in connection and transition, while Fernandinho is a purely defensive player.

Seat B has the ability to organize offense, but when he moves to the center, his shortcomings in wing offense are exposed.

Guardiola, who was standing in the technical area commanded by the home team coach, had already seen that, but he lacked good options at the left back position.

Benjamin Mendy, who was bought from Monaco, and Danilo, who can play as a left back, have both been troubled by injuries and are still undergoing rehabilitation training in the nursing home at the training base.

Delph is the alternative among the alternatives.

When the time came to eighty minutes, the scoreboard still showed the score 2:2.

Wenger took advantage of the dead ball situation on the field to make personnel adjustments, and Alves replaced Bellerin, who was in danger of a yellow card.

Guardiola couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Wenger's adjustment.

As a former disciple, he knows the technical and tactical characteristics of Alves, and he is still very strong even though he is 33 years old.

The intention of replacing Bellerin was definitely not as simple as eliminating hidden dangers. In his opinion, it was entirely to prepare for killing the game.

So, in the 84th minute, Guardiola played his last card.

Jesus replaced Sterling, who was nearly empty.

After making all three substitution adjustments, Guardiola was already limited in what he could do. He could only hand over the task of exceeding the score again to the 11 players on the field.

While Jesus and Sterling were doing the substitution handover ceremony, the on-site director gave Wenger a meaningful shot.

As if to say, Manchester City has made all substitution adjustments, should Arsenal also make tit-for-tat final substitutions?

It's not that Wenger doesn't want to change, but there is no need to change now.

The physical condition of the players on the field is not bad, and the tacit understanding of passing and cutting cooperation is getting better and better. There is absolutely no need to make substitutions just for the sake of substitution.

Of course, the most important thing is that Wenger has blind trust in Martin.

Although Martin was not directly involved in the two goals, he initiated both goals and played a vital role.

But the most important thing is that Martin's physical fitness is very good, and he still maintains a healthy pace even though the number of starting players has dropped significantly.

He believes that as time reaches the most hygienic stage, Martin's role will become greater!

In addition, decreased physical fitness gradually brings about decreased concentration and deformed movements.

Manchester City's restrictions on Martin on the defensive end are no longer as in place as in the past, which makes Guardiola, who is standing in the technical area commanded by the home team coach, increasingly uneasy.

"Test you, if you were the manager of Manchester City, what would you do?"

Guardiola coughed slightly and took his assistant Arteta to discuss it without blushing or heartbeat.

Arteta's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. How could he not know that Guardiola couldn't think of a good way?

But after completing the course, you will eventually go out to work alone, and it is also time to adjust your personal way of thinking about coaching.

If you were the head coach of Manchester City now, how should you break the situation?

He looked up at the court, his eyes instinctively scanning the Manchester City players on the court, and then looking at Arsenal's number one star Martin, his brows raised reflexively.

The brain works at high speed.

After thinking for more than half a minute, he shook his head: "It's too difficult."

"Yeah, it's too difficult."

Guardiola let out a long sigh.

The game on the field is still going on, and his players are still working hard to create opportunities.

It's just that the threat is greatly reduced due to the decrease in physical fitness.

Martin seems to have no physical problems and still assists the defense by running in a wide range regardless of physical strength to ensure that the defense is in a safe stage.

"Physical skills are so damn perverted."

Guardiola said something broken.

"Yeah, it's so fucking perverted."

Arteta nodded in agreement with this view.

Manchester City players were very patient in organizing the offense, and De Bruyne was particularly focused. He really wanted to beat Martin once.

When he received the football again, he had already caught the shortcomings of Arsenal's defensive system through observation, so he decisively kicked the ball about 25 meters away from the bottom line on the right side of the attack and passed the ball.

The quality of the cross was very good. Seat B, which had already started speeding up, stopped for some reason...

De Bruyne: "I￥#...**@#￥￥%!"

As time goes by, other Manchester City players have become less driven to win.

For them, it seems that not losing at home is the key.

In the past two seasons, there have been too many losses to Arsenal.

As a result, many players have shadows, and their belief in defeating Arsenal is not so strong.

A draw with Arsenal at home is not an unacceptable reality.

The two points difference between each other remains unchanged and there is still a long season ahead.

If Arsenal completes the victory at home, the point difference will become 5 points.

As per usual in the last two seasons, a five-point gap is a world of difference.

Of course, winning will lead to a lead in points, but... many Manchester City players do not believe that they can beat Arsenal, which dominates the entire Europe.

They knew that the lead at the beginning was entirely due to the referee's biased whistle, and Arsenal even scored two goals in a row under unfavorable circumstances, which was even more impressive in terms of momentum.

As the game draws to a close, the atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium becomes even more frenzied.

Fans who watched the game through live video continued to send barrages [kills].

The vast majority of the audience believed that Arsenal would kill it at the last minute.

In the past two-plus seasons, Arsenal have scored in many key games at the last minute.

On the contrary, Manchester City has very few.

Guardiola seemed to feel something. He stood in the command area and reminded the players to stay highly focused.

Jesus leaned on Koscielny on the right side of the penalty area and managed to complete an outrageous volley before Mendy closed the door to defend.

The ball missed the goal in a wide range, and the fourth official came to the technical area on the sidelines holding up the four-minute injury time electronic board.

"There are only four minutes left in the game!"

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun said impassionedly: "Will there be a buzzer beater in the game?"

Cech did not rush to kick the goal kick. He waited until all the Manchester City players who did not defend at a high position retreated to the half court before kicking the ball out.

Short goal kick.

After receiving the football, Van Dijk gave the ball to Xhaka step by step.

Kanter, Martin, Alves, and Ronaldo completed small-scale cooperation one after another.

Manchester City players have one less day of rest than Arsenal, and their physical fitness has dropped even more. They adopt regional defense.

Arsenal's offense became direct, sending continuous crosses by controlling the second landing point, threatening Ederson to guard the goal.

In order to prevent Manchester City's quick counterattack from defense to offense, Xhaka and Martin switched positions, which means that Martin is responsible for organizing the offense and being responsible for dealing cards.

In these two minutes, Manchester City did not have no counterattack opportunities, but they were stifled in the cradle by Martin and Kanter.

If the counterattack fails, the defense will naturally encounter danger again.

"wowowoooooo——"

The Manchester City fans in the audience were very nervous, and from time to time they let out frightened exclamations.

They don't expect to beat Arsenal now, they just want to be able to maintain the current score until the end of the game.

A draw with the leader is not something that is difficult to accept.

Guardiola is still hesitating, not sure whether to put all his forces on defense.

So, he pulled Arteta and asked: "Mikel, let's think about it again. In this situation, should we retreat fully?"

"If it were me, I would defend with all my strength."

Arteta thought for a moment: "Actually, a home draw with Arsenal is not an unacceptable result."

"Too……"

Just when Guardiola was waiting for a dead ball opportunity to release a defensive signal to the players on the field, Arsenal scored... Stones pushed the cross ball sent by Alves from the right out of the penalty area and squatted at the top of the penalty area. In this area, Fernandinho leaned against Xhaka and reluctantly jumped to head the ball back.

The football just flew towards Martin's activity area, which was about 28 meters away from the goal.

De Bruyne and Seat B rushed over without realizing it.

Both had been teammates with Martin and knew his personal intensity.

But Martin gave them no chance to get close.

"wowowoooooooo——"

The Manchester City fans in the audience subconsciously let out a burst of frightened exclamations.

"Martin!!!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's voice suddenly rose an octave when he saw the man appearing on the broadcast screen.

Actively facing the ball, he stepped forward with his left foot for more than half a meter. His right foot, which was swinging from back to front, stretched the instep of the ball and hit the football hard at the height of an ordinary person's knee.

Boom~

A crisp muffled sound emerged spontaneously.

De Bruyne and Seat B, who were unable to block the ball, could feel the surging energy from the football when they saw it flying out. It was like a cannonball that came out of the barrel and flew towards the goal with lightning speed.

The football flying into the air did not spin at all, and even the logo of the manufacturer Nike [√] and the Premier League logo with a lion head wearing a crown were clearly visible.

The eyes of the players on both sides of the penalty area were attracted by the roaring football.

Goalkeeper Ederson stood in front of the center goal line, took two steps to the right with both feet, pushed hard on the ground with his right foot at the end, jumped up, and flew to the right with the help of weak inertia.

Open your right arm naturally and stretch out your five fingers.

However, when his body just stretched out, the powerful and heavy football suddenly sank after flying to the highest point.

The amplitude was so large that Edson had no time to change his hand shape...

The suddenly sinking football passed about three to four centimeters below the palm of Ederson's right hand at high speed, grazed the inner edge of the middle post of the left goal, flew across the goal line radiation area, and hit the snow-white net.

※※※※※

"Goooooooooooal——"

"Oh My God! The goal in the third minute of stoppage time!"

"A sure win! It's Martin again! The new World Footballer will tell the world with his practical actions! He will also be the most popular player of the year in world football next year!"

"The ball went in! A wonderful non-stop volley and scored! 3:2! Arsenal let two chase three!"

"Incredible super performance! World wave user shows off his power again!"

……

The commentators in the live commentary box/remote live broadcast room subconsciously shouted eloquently when the goal was scored.

The entire Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium seemed to have been hit in the head and were stunned.

The Arsenal fans who traveled with the team instantly became ecstatic, hysterically venting the ecstasy brought about by Martin's winning goal.

Wenger, who was in the technical area directed by the coach of the visiting team, waved his clenched fists twice to vent the grievances accumulated in his heart.

Not far away, Guardiola and Arteta were still discussing the game situation one second, and their reactions the next second were exactly the same. They both had their mouths half-opened, their hands subconsciously covering their foreheads, and their expressions of surprise were beyond words.

Obviously, they have not accepted the reality that Martin scored the winning goal in the final stage of injury time.

Martin, who scored the goal, still looked calm and composed, opening his arms to welcome his passionate teammates to come forward to celebrate the winning goal that had a high probability of getting three points.

De Bruyne, who was not far away, pursed his lips, turned around, and closed his eyes in pain.

I worked very hard and gave my best.

result……

Still lost.

There was more than half a minute left in stoppage time, but he didn't think the team still had the physical strength and fighting spirit to complete the tie.

Arsenal players celebrated the goal, and the live director restored the entire scoring process.

Through continuous passes, the football was sent to the right wing of the attack. Alves, who came on as a substitute, passed a cross of poor quality.

Stones beat Cavani with a header to clear the ball, and Fernandinho relied on early blocking to head the ball back.

Generally, a very successful defense.

But what should never have happened was that the header hit the ball exactly in the direction of Martin's movement.

De Bruyne and Seat B reacted very quickly and moved over immediately.

It's just that Martin didn't give them time to close the distance, and directly met the ball and fired a direct volley.

The ball-eating area is wide and the force of the kick is very strong.

Ederson also used a knee-jerk reaction to prove that he is worthy of the transfer fee of 40 million euros.

Unfortunately, the football Martin kicked was so heavy and had an obvious drop that Ederson had no time to react.

The football, which was like a cannonball, also scraped the inside edge of the left goal post and entered the net, which meant that Martin's goal was aimed at a blind spot.

The playback of different angles frame by frame allows fans watching the live game to fully experience what is called a visual feast.

There was a visceral chant from many Arsenal and Martin fans.

Martin's goal is so beautiful!

Whether it's exciting or critical, it's all top-notch.

The goal in the third minute of stoppage time was a complete winner!

"This shot was so beautiful! I, Ding, am indeed the strongest football player on the planet!"

"Don't show off the mountains and show off the water ≠ freeze, okay? The role of a superstar is to step forward at critical times!"

"Let two chase three, Arsenal is invincible!"

"Where are the Manchester City fans who were still arrogant in the first half? Do you dare to speak?"

"11 consecutive wins at the start! Three consecutive Premier League titles! Who else?"

……

A hot topic on social platforms, active among a large number of Arsenal fans.

Although the Manchester City fans were very unhappy, they did not dare to talk back, so they could only watch the Arsenal fans show off their power.

When the two sides stood waiting for kick-off, the four minutes of injury time had just expired. The referee Anthony Taylor did not blow the whistle directly to end the game, but blew the kick-off whistle.

The Manchester City players who were given the right to kick-off recovered quickly after a brief mental adjustment, and obviously wanted to equalize the score within the game time given by the referee at his discretion.

Arsenal allowed two to chase three, and the players were high-spirited, as if they had been beaten to death. Each one of them used a wide range of runs to limit the space required by Manchester City players to attack.

Of course, there is also a strategy to defending.

The defense is close to the body and will not blindly foul.

After passing the ball several times in a row, De Bruyne and the B team realized that penetration in the middle was not feasible. They saw Stones and Otamendi running into the penalty area and quickly gave the ball to the wing to see if they could get lucky. .

Van Dijk, Koscielny, Xhaka and Martin controlled the landing point very well, and two consecutive crosses were pushed out.

Manchester City obtains continuous offensive opportunities by controlling the second landing point. The player who gets the ball always gives the ball to the wing as soon as possible.

Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger was impatient. He kept pointing his finger at the fourth official's wrist to signal that the injury time was over.

The fourth official helplessly spread his hands, indicating that the referee had his own plan.

Kyle Walker received De Bruyne's pass, adjusted slightly and then passed.

The ball was pushed out of the baseline by Koscielny who was in front.

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun saw Anthony Taylor pointing his finger at the corner kick area and said solemnly: "The fifth minute of stoppage time has elapsed. Are you still going to give time?"

"It should be the last chance to attack."

Commentator Li Yuankui said.

The on-site director suddenly switched to the camera. Goalkeeper Ederson passed halftime apparently under the instruction of coach Guardiola and ran towards the penalty area to participate in the aerial battle.

De Bruyne has a certain height advantage, and the corner kick is taken by Seat B.

Players from both sides were entangled and moved very hard.

The head referee Anthony Taylor had to stop the game, call together several players who made larger moves, and give them a verbal warning.

At the other end, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger spread his hands and questioned why the game was not over yet?

At this time, the injury time had reached five and a half minutes.

That's a full minute and a half too long.

"Beep~"

The whistle sounded and Seat B took a corner kick on the right.

The arc of the instep of the left foot spins from outside the penalty area to the front of the small penalty area. Van Dyke is in charge, overpowering Stones and Fernandinho and heading the ball towards the top circle of the penalty area.

Kanter, De Bruyne, Ronaldo and Delph ran towards the landing point at the same time, but no one hit it.

The football landed on the ground and bounced up. Mendy jumped up high and threw the ball to the right.

I saw a red and white figure appear again at the landing point of the football, and the huge Arabic numeral [10] behind it was particularly eye-catching.

"Martin!"

Accompanied by a loud shout from Sky TV commentator Andy Gray, Martin, who started to speed up, pushed the football thrown by Mendy with his forehead while running, and then accelerated a second time.

Kyle Walker, the fastest player on the Manchester City team, is in despair.

"woowwowoowooo——"

Desperate Manchester City fans once again held their heads.

Martin, who had caught up with the ball, made a slight adjustment. He was about 20 meters away from the midfield line on the right side of the defense and kicked the ball directly towards the unguarded goal.

I don't know...

The referee on duty, Anthony Taylor, blew his whistle, two short and one long.

"Beep~beep~beep~~"

The whistle blows at the end of the game.
