Chapter 388 91 Plum has become history, and Hundred Horses will become an epic
The sixth round of the UEFA Champions League in the 2017-2018 season has come to an end, and the dust has settled on the two teams that advanced to the top 6.
The Premier League occupies the most seats, occupying five, nearly 1/3.
The remaining 2/3 seats are shared by La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Portuguese Super League, Swiss Super League, Ukrainian Super League and Turkish Super League.
La Liga occupies three places and Serie A two.
What surprised fans was that last season's major finalists in the Bundesliga and Ligue 1, only Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, which supported the appearance, advanced to the top 16.
The remaining four seats are Porto, Basel, Shakhtar Donetsk and Besiktas.
The draw will take place on Friday evening at UEFA's headquarters in Nyon.
However, before the draw ceremony for the Champions League 1/8 finals began, "France Football" from Paris, France first attracted the attention of the world.
Previously, "France Football" had announced on its official website and official accounts on major social platforms that the winner of the 12 European Ballon d'Or would be announced on time at 9 pm on December 7.
In fact, there will be no surprises in this award in 2017.
Martin, who dominates Europe, is definitely a well-deserved winner of the new European Ballon d'Or.
Compared with last year when there was still a possibility of suspense, this year's European Ballon d'Or is a certainty.
Last year, Cristiano Ronaldo also won the La Liga title, the European Cup title and the Champions League runner-up. In this non-competition year, Arsenal led by Martin dominated all participating events.
As a star player, he has enough data to support him.
The probability of being elected is infinitely close to 100%.
Starting from 12 pm on December 9, the official website of "France Football" has received a large influx of users.
Obviously, this is waiting for the announcement of the new European Golden Globe Awards.
The person involved, Martin, was not in a hurry at all, because he received a call yesterday from Gérard Aignes, the editor-in-chief of "France Football".
The new European Golden Globe Award has been confirmed.
That's right, it's...himself.
At ten o'clock this morning, I asked for leave to take makeup photos to receive the European Golden Globe Award and to accept related interviews with "France Football".
At seven o'clock that evening, the official website of "France Football" and the official certified accounts of major social platforms announced the winner of the 2017 European Ballon d'Or at the same time.
[Congratulations Martin! Won the 2017 European Ballon d'Or! 】
The accompanying picture is a photo of Martin holding up the golden European Ballon d'Or trophy with Gérard Aignes, editor-in-chief of "France Football".
It didn’t take long for the official accounts of major sports media on social platforms to post simple manuscripts prepared in advance.
Congratulations to Martin for being selected for the 2017 European Ballon d'Or.
"The youngest two-time winner of the European Ballon d'Or since its inception!"
"The new European Ballon d'Or winner has scored 2017 goals in 90, and is only one goal away from Leo Messi's annual goal record of 2012 goals scored in 91. Will good things come in pairs in tomorrow night's game? "
"Incredible achievement! The 21-year-old Martin has reached a new peak in his career!"
"With two consecutive years of invincible performance, he is already the number one player in world football!"
"Mello is old, Martin is king!"
……
Social platforms are also active with a large number of netizens expressing their own opinions.
On this beautiful day, Arsenal fans and Martin fans cheered for joy.
His relatives and friends also immediately sent text messages and WhatsApp messages to congratulate him on winning the European Golden Globe Award.
Those anti-fans stood up and rebelled at an inappropriate time, and naturally they were attacked by a group of people.
Even some neutral fans can't see it.
They are not particularly fans of Martin, but they love watching Martin play.
Martin also pays attention to hot topics on social media. After seeing that he has unknowingly increased his annual goals to 90, he is full of thoughts about tomorrow night's guest game at St. Mary's Stadium.
Breaking Messi's annual goal record in one fell swoop and writing a new chapter in his own history!
The next morning, the Arsenal coaching staff, players and staff gathered at Colney training base to express their congratulations to Martin in person.
Afterwards, the whole team took a bus to Southampton.
The distance between the two places is only over 100 kilometers, which is very convenient.
The most watched matches in the 2017th round of the Premier League in the 2018-16 season were undoubtedly the Merseyside Derby and the Manchester Derby.
Next is Arsenal's visit to challenge Southampton.
The two derbies were played with great passion, but the scores were both 1:1, with each team scoring one point.
At St. Mary's Stadium, Martin, the new European Ballon d'Or winner, made his debut.
After playing this league game, Arsenal will take a flight from London to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, to compete with the semi-finals host team Abu Dhabi Peninsula for a ticket to the final.
Martin won the European Ballon d'Or. Southampton players naturally knew that he had a strong fighting spirit, so they monitored him very closely.
But is Martin so easily restrained?
In the 29th minute of the first half, Sanchez took a corner kick from the right. Van Dijk jumped up high and made a false shot in front of the old point. Martin, who was running ghostly, appeared behind him. Sakura international player Yoshida Maya and Austin was severely left behind. After taking off at the highest point, he twisted his waist and swung his abdomen, and headed the ball into the goal guarded by Foster.
"Goooooooooooooal——"
"Oh My God! 91st goal of the year! Incredible achievement!"
"Super Martin! The new European Ballon d'Or winner! He tied Leo Messi's annual goal record to help Arsenal open the scoring!"
……
"The ball went in! Beautiful header broke the net!"
PP sports commentator Zhan Jun said impassionedly: "Martin scored his 91st goal of the year! He tied Messi's annual goal record set in 2012! There are still six games this year! Two Club World Cups, three games The league and a quarter-final of the EFL Cup! The most important thing is... this game is only half an hour into the first half, and the Arsenal captain still has enough time to set a record!"
The Arsenal fans who traveled with the team, the Arsenal fans and Martin fans in front of the TV were particularly excited at this moment, and almost all of them instinctively shouted with joy.
Each of them said silently: One more!
※※※※※
Southampton, who was sitting at home, conceded a goal first. They took advantage of the kick-off to quickly launch an offensive, trying to launch a mercury-like attack on the goal guarded by Cech.
Arsenal's defense, which had temporarily avoided the edge, was very solid, and Southampton's defense was not broken by the strengthened offensive.
However, a relatively reckless foul by Xhaka knocked down Tadic. Ward-Prowse, who had already become a master of free kicks, seized the free kick opportunity at the edge of the penalty area on the right side.
The football kicked out by his right foot flew in an almost perfect arc in the air, bypassing the fingertips of Cech's left hand that was subconsciously making a save, and grazed the inner edge of the upper middle post of the right goal and hit the snow-white net. The score was evened.
"aoaoaoooooo——"
Ward-Prowse's wonderful free kick helped Southampton equalize the score, and the entire St. Mary's Stadium was completely transformed into a sea of joy.
Unfortunately, the excitement of the home team fans did not last long. In the 42nd minute of the game, Sanchez took the ball in the left rib of the attack and cut inside, causing Hojbjerg to foul.
The on-site director showed a close-up of Martin, who placed the football at the foul spot, and then a close-up of his face.
"Hoibel's foul may cause Southampton to lose the ball. Martin has a very high hitting rate in this position!"
PP sports commentator Zhan Jun said passionately: "The Arsenal captain has scored 91 goals this year! If he seizes this free kick opportunity, he will directly create his own annual scoring record!"
The broadcaster stated that the foul location was 26 meters away from the goal.
Guest commentator Li Yuankui said loudly: "This distance is very suitable for Martin to take the penalty!"
"wuwuwuuwuuu——"
No one wants to watch their opponent set a record at their home stadium. The Southampton fans at St. Mary's Stadium tacitly let out a loud and loud boo.
Fans all over the world have their eyes on Martin.
Including Messi, who was at home in Catalonia. He looked at the close-up of Martin on the broadcast screen and was filled with emotion.
It was hard to set a new record for goals in the year, but unexpectedly... Martin seemed to have it at his fingertips.
Although he had known for a long time that Martin would break the record, he still felt a little uncomfortable when it was about to be broken.
Facing the overwhelming boos, Martin remained calm and looked normal.
"Beep~"
Referee Marina blew his whistle.
The boos at St. Mary's got louder.
Martin, who was standing behind the left side of the football, kept paying close attention. He took the lead with his left foot in front of him, followed by two incremental steps, with the last left foot standing about 25 centimeters to the left of the football.
Swinging the inside of the instep of the right foot from back to front, kick the ball to the lower right side of the ball in a chipping manner, and then increase the area of contact with the ball to increase power.
The football that shot up from the ground quickly passed over Southampton's six-man wall with a strong inward arc. The football that cut through the penalty area was like a full-moon scimitar that saw blood and sealed its throat. The unusually wide arc caused goalkeeper Foster to make an error in judgment.
By the time Foster realizes that the ball will turn back into the goal area, it is too late to make a save...
"Goooooooooooal——"
"Another fantastic world-class goal!"
"Oh My God! You are so beautiful! My 92nd goal of the year!"
"Martin has officially surpassed Leo Messi and holds the sole annual goal record!" "Unparalleled goal! Martin's wonderful goal helped Arsenal surpass the score again! Leading Southampton 2:1!"
……
The commentator in the live commentary box/remote broadcast room became ecstatic the moment the football hit the net and gave eloquent commentary.
After scoring the goal, Martin showed rare excitement. He opened his arms in excitement, ran to the broadcast camera, turned his back to the camera, and presented his jersey number and displayed name in front of fans around the world.
At this moment, he seemed to be saying: Did everyone see it? I! The new creator of the annual goal record!
Whether they are fans watching the live broadcast of the game or fans at the scene, they can all understand it roughly.
PP sports commentator Zhan Jun said with a smile: "Martin is now the one in the world who doesn't know you. He has set records one after another since his debut. I believe... he will set more records. Fans watching the live broadcast of the game Friends, what do you think? I have different opinions that I can share with you through Zhanjun’s scarf..."
Wenger, who was standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, looked at Martin with eyes full of admiration and doting.
But thinking about retiring next summer, I feel somewhat reluctant to give up.
It's just that there are no regrets in the club's coaching career. The championship is too soft to win, and there seems to be no pursuit.
In the past, he devoted almost all his time to football. He owed a lot to his family. When his motivation was dwindling, he should retire and spend time with his family.
Immediately, the live director restored the entire process of Martin's wonderful goal.
The free kick was taken in a coherent manner, and the football was kicked out so fast and with such a strong inward arc that it looked like a rainbow across the sky, so much so that Southampton goalkeeper Foster didn't react at all.
The frame-by-frame playback made the fans in front of the TV extremely addictive.
※※※※※
Catalonia.
A wealthy area on the outskirts of Barcelona.
Messi's house.
Messi, who was watching the live broadcast of the game, looked at Martin who was shown the broadcast screen and let out a long sigh again.
Antonella tenderly hugged Messi's neck and said softly: "Leo, no matter what, in my mind, you are the best!"
"Thanks, dear."
……
Rich area of Madrid.
Ronaldo also watched the game live at home.
It would be absolutely false if you don’t feel jealous when you see Martin break Messi’s annual goal record set in 2012.
He couldn't help but sigh.
Comparing people to each other is so damn infuriating!
……
De Bruyne, who finished the Manchester City Derby, habitually watched Martin's games live.
Seeing Martin score twice, setting a personal scoring record for the year, he turned off the TV angrily.
Stop watching!
……
The Premier League match at St. Mary's Stadium continues, and Southampton, who are falling behind again, have the consciousness to strengthen their attack.
The helpless thing is that there is no good way to face the defensive Arsenal players.
Until the end of the first half, the scoreboard still showed 1:2.
After a fifteen-minute intermission, Southampton, which was lagging behind, continued to strengthen its attack.
It's just that their offense hasn't yielded results yet, and problems have arisen first in defense.
Martin, who has already broken the annual scoring record, focuses on how to achieve his teammates.
In the 53rd minute, Arsenal switched from defense to offense. Martin got the ball and turned past Hoibel, then sent a scalpel-like precise through ball to the right front.
Gnabry appeared ghostly in Martin's passing route. He was like a wild horse, leaving the chasing Bertrand behind.
He was also very calm when he dribbled the ball into the right rib of the penalty area. His low shot penetrated the far corner of the goal guarded by Foster and helped the visiting team Arsenal expand the score.
1: 3.
The home team seemed to realize that losing to Arsenal at home was a foregone conclusion, and the restarted game lacked the strong desire to score as before.
Arsenal, who were leading by two goals, also consciously controlled the rhythm and distributed their physical energy reasonably.
After playing this game, he will fly to Abu Dhabi to participate in the semi-finals of the UAE Club World Cup.
It can save energy, why not?
The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding of each other in the rest of the game, and the offense was impressive, but they failed to score a goal.
At the end of the ninety-minute match, the scoreboard still showed the score 1:3.
The home team goes first and the away team goes last.
Arsenal, who won the game, widened the point difference to seven points with a draw in the Manchester derby.
Then, they will miss two league games.
Mixed zone.
Martin, who set the annual scoring record, became a popular presence in the eyes of reporters from major media, with long guns and short cannons in front of him.
Martin was in a very good mood and was naturally very cooperative.
Of course, the premise is that personal privacy and team tactics are not involved.
For other questions, I can tell you everything I know.
……
At the regular press conference after the game, visiting team coach Arsene Wenger praised his disciple Martin.
When media reporters talked about the annual 92-goal record, he smiled and said: "92 goals can only be said to be the beginning for Martin. I believe he will raise this goal record to a level that no one can match for many years to come. To the point! A hundred goals? Why not?"
If another coach praised his own players, he would definitely be criticized.
But... Wenger praised Martin for making an exception.
His scoring ability is so strong!
Scoring goals is as easy as eating and drinking.
As long as Martin wants, the goals will come uninvited.
The world's mainstream media reports focused entirely on Martin's annual scoring record.
【Shock! Less than ten days passed in December, Martin actually set a new annual scoring record! 】
【Are you crazy? You call this a midfielder? 】
[Incredible goal record! Let us look forward to whether Martin can increase the number of goals to 2017+ in the remaining games of 100]
[The new European Golden Globe winner creates another miracle! Where is Martin's upper limit? 】
[Club World Cup schedule is coming soon! Will another record be set? The first team to defend the Club World Cup since its inception? 】
……
The topic of Martin breaking Messi's record of 91 goals in the year on major social media platforms has become the focus of sports fans around the world.
Martin, the person involved, was relatively calm. He returned to London with the team to make some adjustments, and took a special flight from sponsor Emirates Airlines to fly to Abu Dhabi early the next morning to participate in the semi-finals of the 2017 Club World Cup.
The draw ceremony for the 2017/2018 finals of the UEFA Champions League in the 1-8 season also happened to be held in Nyon, the headquarters of UEFA.
It was still hosted by Marchetti, director of the competition department.
Since there are exactly five Premier League teams that have reached the top 1 of the Champions League, and the 8/ finals draw shares the same Football Association avoidance principle and the principle that opponents in the group stage will not encounter them, there will not be too many changes in the draw.
Basel, which advanced to the top 16, became the best opponent in each group at first sight.
Arsenal was not very lucky. Instead of being drawn with the weakest opponent, they were drawn with Serie A giant Juventus.
The other seven groups of matches are:
Basel, the second most popular group, has become Manchester City's promotion package.
Porto VS Paris Saint-Germain
Sevilla vs Tottenham
Real Madrid vs Manchester United
Shakhtar Donetsk VS Barcelona
Chelsea vs Roma
Bayern VS Besiktas
……
The draw for the eight 1/8 finals, except for Basel VS Manchester City, Porto VS Paris Saint-Germain, Shakhtar Donetsk VS Barcelona, and Bayern VS Besiktas, lacks certain highlights. There are a total of eight games in the two legs of the other four groups. It will most likely be full of viewing pleasure.
Especially the clash between the Serie A leader and the Premier League leader.
Serie A teams advocate defense, and Juventus takes defense to the extreme.
Arsenal is invincible offensively and scores more goals than any other team in Europe.
The two-round 1/8 finals between the two teams will inevitably be the strongest confrontation between spear and shield.
Countless fans watching the Champions League 1/8 finals draw can't wait, hoping for the arrival of two peak showdowns.
