Chapter 391 Say goodbye to 2017 with a perfect hat! Fixed the 103 goals of the year!

Chapter 391 Say goodbye to 2017 with a perfect hat! Fixed the 103 goals of the year!

With the end of the 2017th round of the Premier League in the 2018-19 season, Arsenal, who won the game, won the half-way league championship with a 1-point advantage with two rounds to play.

After playing this league, it will be a devilish schedule after Christmas.

Martin spent time with his family before the 20th round of the league.

Compared to previous years, there is one more Savannah Blade on Christmas this year.

Clara Anna originally intended to bring her best friend's daughter and son Martin together, so Savannah Brad was living and working alone in London, so naturally she had to ask them to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas together.

In order to better bring the two of them together, Clara Anna waved her hand and asked Martin to take Savannah Brad to the supermarket to buy Christmas decorations.

"how about this."

In the Tesco supermarket, Martin, who was wearing a mask and a peaked cap, picked up a few Christmas ornaments and asked Savannah Blade.

"Brother Martin, your taste is too bad, right?"

Martin: "..."

In the past, I bought all the Christmas decorations at home. Is it really that bad?

He couldn't help but become suspicious.

Savannah Brad picked out a few distinctive decorations from a pile of items and raised them towards Martin: "How about these?"

Martin really wanted to say that we are half-hearted, but it is not easy to dampen the enthusiasm of girls. Moreover, he was slightly offended a few days ago, so he was naturally willing to cooperate when it had nothing to do with elegance: "Very good."

"Yeah, hehe~"

Savannah Brad raised her neck like a proud white swan.

It took nearly an hour to select the decorations, and then it was time to buy the shopping list given by Clara Anna.

Starting at two o'clock in the afternoon, he was busy until five o'clock, when Martin returned home in a Range Rover that he didn't usually drive much.

As the only man in the family, he had to do all the moving, decorating and other tasks.

But when all the accessories are decorated, it gives people a really refreshing sense of sight.

Martin reached out and rubbed Savannah Brad's light brown hair, and praised: "Your vision is indeed better than mine."

Savannah Brad's brain circuit was very fast, and she hummed: "Hmph~ I knew you were fooling me in the afternoon."

"Hehe~"

Martin shrugged, not denying it.

Clara Anna seemed to have some sparks when she looked at her son and her best friend's daughter, and there was a hint of smile on her slightly gloomy expression.

After a sumptuous dinner and a pleasant Christmas Eve, Martin crossed his legs comfortably, picked up the handmade purple sand cup placed on the tea table in the living room, and took a sip of the freshly brewed tea from the Imperial Tea Garden Shibake. Former Longjing tea.

At this time, to describe it in Sichuan dialect is: Bashi.

"I went for a walk and we played at home."

Clara finished cleaning the kitchen, wiped the water stains on her hands, and said to the two people in the living room.

"be careful."

Martin replied casually and continued to drink Longjing tea worth one hundred thousand one catty.

Savannah Brad glanced at Martin with a look of enjoyment, her eyes filled with an emotion called resentment.

Your mother has already made excuses to go out for a walk, why do you only drink tea?

Isn’t it just the new tea that just arrived?

Does it taste better than the one in front of me?

cough~

Thinking of this, her pretty fair face turned a bright red.

"Hey~"

After finishing a cup of tea, Martin turned around and saw Savannah sitting on the sofa in a daze, and asked curiously: "Sister Savannah, do you want to come and have a sip of tea?"

"Okay."

Savannah came to her senses and walked over with a smile.

Martin muttered in his mind that women can change their expressions very quickly without adjusting the time.

He used a tea clip to hold a small-capacity purple sand cup that had just been sterilized and placed it on the opposite side. He poured the tea from the fair cup into the cup and made a 'please' gesture: "How about asking."

Savannah took a sip and stuck out her tongue: "It's a bit astringent."

"Haha~"

Martin smiled and said: "It should taste better than pure coffee, right?"

"You said that, it's true~"

Savannah took another sip and tasted it calmly: "It tastes good, I want to drink it again."

So Martin poured another glass.

Savannah asked curiously: "Why is it always a small cup and a small cup? Can't you pour a larger cup?"

Martin was a little stunned, thinking that foreigners would not be able to experience the joy of a sip after all, so he took a glass cup and said: "It's not impossible."

"This is the best way to enjoy yourself~"

The two chatted while drinking, but Savannah was almost the one who spoke.

She talked about the hardships at work, the competition among colleagues, and all kinds of intrigues.

Martin listened patiently and acted as a very competent listener. He only occasionally made a comment, but it also made Savannah enlightened.

In the blink of an eye, more than two hours passed. Clara returned home and saw her son drinking tea with Savannah. She immediately sighed with hatred.

Pay attention to orphans!

"Mom, would you like some tea?"

Martin heard the sound of the door closing and turned around to ask.

"full."

Clara said angrily.

Martin looked confused: "..."

Only Savannah covered her mouth and smiled.

※※※※※

On the afternoon of Christmas Day, the entire Arsenal team participated in full team training at the Colney training base to prepare for the Christmas Devils schedule starting tomorrow night.

On the 26th, 28th and 31st, there will be three games before 2018.

The first two opponents are Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion, and the last is Chelsea, which has not performed very well this season.

The first game after Christmas is a visit to Selhurst Park to challenge Crystal Palace.

The entire Arsenal team is in good shape and they beat Crystal Palace 3:1 as a guest.

Since there is only one day off before the league game against West Bromwich Albion, Arsenal's overall physical fitness is not very good. Fortunately, Selhurst Park is in London and is not considered an expedition.

In addition, the West Midlands, where West Bromwich Albion is located, is only over 100 kilometers away from London.

The journey consumes less.

But two high-confrontation 180-minute games in two days are also a huge drain on physical energy.

Mainstream European media, mainly British media, focused on the league match between West Bromwich Albion and Arsenal.

Judging from the opponent's level, it is definitely not enough to attract public attention.

There is another reason for the worldwide attention.

Martin's previous visit to St. Mary's Stadium to challenge Southampton in the league has raised his personal annual goal tally to 92 goals. He scored 3 goals in the Club World Cup, 1 goal in the EFL Cup, before Christmas and against Liverpool after the holiday. Each guest scored one goal at Crystal Palace, which means a total of 98 goals were scored.

If he scores two goals in the league away from Hawthorn Stadium, then Martin can increase his number of goals this year to three digits!

Before the game, many West Bromwich Albion fans expressed that they must complete their defense of Martin at home to prevent the team from becoming a stepping stone to his record.

Compared with Arsenal's two consecutive away games, West Bromwich Albion has a very big advantage.

The first is the intensity of the schedule. Arsenal has two games in two days. The league game before West Bromwich Albion welcomes Arsenal at home is both home and before Christmas, which means they have the advantage of home and physical strength.

The Hawthorn Stadium, which can accommodate 26272 fans, was full on the day of the game against Arsenal.

Small stadiums cannot be compared with large stadiums in terms of appearance and visual aspects, but the small capacity of Hawthorn Stadium also has its advantages. The most obvious one is that the size of small stadiums is smaller, which is very good against teams that are good at ground passing and control. Effect.

A dense defensive system, combined with a pitch with insufficient width, can very effectively restrict strong teams from fully utilizing the width of the pitch, directly reducing the physical consumption of defensive players.

as predicted!

West Bromwich Albion, who are at home, set up a bus at home.

Facing Arsenal's strong attack, they were not afraid at all. The intensive defensive system could cope with the indiscriminate bombardment from the visiting team very well.

Because Martin's targeted defensive deployment was in place, Arsenal was not given a good chance.

In the 38th minute of the game, Kanu also used a quick counterattack to steal the chicken.

1:0 lead.

And it lasted until the end of the first half.

In the second half of the rematch, it was obvious that Arsenal's overall physical fitness had declined seriously, and the running coverage of other players except Martin had dropped a lot.

At the most difficult time for the team, captain Martin stood up. In the 67th minute, Alves, who came on as a substitute, received James Ronaldo's pass on the right, stopped and passed an inverted triangle high-altitude pass at the junction of the right sideline of the penalty area and the baseline.

West Bromwich Albion players fell into inertial thinking and believed that Alves's passing route could only be low cross, low inverted triangle and high altitude cross.

Who knows that Alves doesn't play by common sense.

It was unexpected for West Bromwich Albion's defenders, but Arsenal's attackers knew it.

The huge discrepancy between the two directly affected this wave of defense.

All the defensive players looked over as the football flew.

I don't know this, I was shocked when I saw it!

I saw Martin making full use of his inertia to jump about one meter away from the penalty spot. He jumped high and hit the ball with his forehead, just like a tomahawk dunk in a basketball game.

"Martin!!"

With a shout from Sky TV commentator Andy Gray, the football changed its trajectory and flew towards the upper right corner of the goal at a faster speed.

Goalkeeper Foster had no way to react to such a powerful header from such a close distance. All he could do was follow the football with his eyes until it hit the snow-white net...

"The ball went in!!"

"Beautiful! 1:1! Martin's goal helped Arsenal equalize the score at the most difficult time!"

"99th goal of the year!!"

The commentators in the live commentary box/remote broadcast room went crazy.

The Arsenal fans who traveled with the team were ecstatic and shouted hysterically.

Reporters in the mixed zone immediately focused their cameras on Martin.

They had a strong premonition.

The team's performance is sluggish, and Martin is likely to score another goal when he is in good condition!

Helping Arsenal take the lead while completing his 100th goal of the year!

as predicted!

Just three minutes after the equalizer, Martin took advantage of the home team's substitution to get the ball and suddenly advanced with the ball. He used his superb foot skills to pass two people and caught the opponent off guard.

Facing the foul from midfielder Barry, his upper body swayed exaggeratedly to the left, like the pendulum of a clock swinging to the left.

Barry, who was highly concentrated, subconsciously shifted his center of gravity to the right. Martin, who was extremely explosive, pushed hard with his left foot. The huge reaction force completed the instant reversal of the center of gravity. The outside instep of his right foot pushed the ball forward to the right, and he adjusted two small steps on the spot. .

The left foot supports the body, and the right foot swings from back to front and hits the middle and lower part of the football hard with the instep.

He shot furiously from the center about 28 meters away from the goal!

Goalkeeper Foster looked at the football that appeared in front of him and reacted this time. He quickly took two steps to the right, jumped hard with his left foot, opened his right arm, and tried to push the heavy football away with his palm. Out of goal range.

result……

The football, which did not rotate in mid-air, roared away first, grazing the upper inner edge of the left goal post and crashing into the snow-white net.

“Goooooooooooooooooal——”

"Martin! Scored twice!"

"Overtake West Bromwich Albion!"

"Congratulations Martin!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray shouted hysterically: "This is another milestone record he created! The 100th goal of the year! Incredible super record!"

"Beautiful!! Another wonderful world-beating goal!"

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun said impassionedly: "Incredible personal performance! Martin used a long shot to increase his personal annual goals to 100 goals! An absolute milestone goal!"

At the same time, Martin, who scored the goal, was also particularly crazy.

He opened his arms and grinned, and ran all the way to the off-field camera on the right side of the attack, expressing his joy at the goal by sliding on his knees.

Behind him are the equally crazy Arsenal players.

……

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, who are enjoying the short Christmas vacation, received real-time push notifications of football information as soon as possible.

[Scored twice in three minutes! Martin sets a landmark annual 100-goal record! 】

"This guy……"

"What a pervert!"

※※※※※

Martin scored twice to help Arsenal reverse the score and maintain it until the end of the game.

As Manchester City drew 0:0 with Crystal Palace as a guest, Arsenal, who have two games to play, continues to lead the standings with 3 points.

Normally, Manchester City's upset loss of points would have been heavily reported by the media, but Martin scored two goals in this round, raising his personal scoring record for the year to 100 goals.

In every corner of the world where there is a sports newspaper, there are news reports about Martin's landmark goal record.

Even many ordinary citizens who are not interested in football know that there is a very powerful football player named Martin.

Domestic fans of the Dragon Kingdom were very emotional while maintaining their relationship with Yourong.

Whenever they see Martin setting a football record, they hate the FA even more and wish they could let those officials go west!

They have all been naturalized by blood, and they were taken away in a daze.

If your achievements are mediocre, forget it. The key is that you still pretend to be there even after being kicked out.

It's obviously your fault but you have to bow your head to someone who has done nothing wrong.

Why?

……

Arsenal fans and Martin fans around the world are extremely excited and feel like they are celebrating a festival.

But Arsenal still have a London derby to play the day before 2018 arrives.

Martin, who set a landmark record, did not spend time and energy to dwell on the glory of the past, but instead focused on future games.

Sitting at home to face the challenge of Chelsea.

"aooaoaooaoooo——"

This was the last game of 2017, and the home atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium was particularly fanatical, with overwhelming cheers coming one after another for a long time.

This season, Chelsea's performance has dropped significantly due to the influence of Diego Costa and Conte. The purchased Morata is not suitable for the Premier League. They also lost Matic, who has a very important tactical position, ranking at the bottom of the Big 6.

At a regular press conference before the game, Chelsea head coach Conte was interviewed by the media. When the reporter asked how many goals Martin could set in 2017, he bluntly said: "How many goals are there now? It's over." How long will it take?"

The implication is very obvious, which is to keep Martin clean in the final game of the year at the Emirates Stadium.

At this time, there is never a shortage of fans who like to stir up trouble.

When the home team held a regular pre-match press conference, the reporter directly informed Martin of Conte's words.

How could Martin, who attended the pre-match press conference with head coach Arsene Wenger, not know the reporter's intentions?

But...it is undeniable that Conte's words made him very unhappy.

Chelsea's lineup is not as aggressive as last season, and Morata doesn't have enough integration with the team. There are big problems on both ends of the offense and defense.

As a result, Chelsea always suffered at the Emirates Stadium.

Less than thirty minutes into the first half, Martin scored two goals with a head kick and a kick.

What made Conte feel desperate was that before the end of the first half, Martin received Mendy's cross from the left in the penalty area and shot past Courtois with his left foot, extending the score to three goals.

A perfect hat trick!

When Martin faced the visiting team coach's command area and shrugged to celebrate the goal, the on-site director was obviously very good at it. He gave a close-up shot of Conte pushing it to his face.

Fans watching the live broadcast of the game could clearly see that Conte's already gloomy face was particularly dark.

"hahahhahaha——"

The Arsenal fans in the audience obviously also learned about Conte's remarks from social platforms, and they also started to cheer at this time, letting out mocking laughter.

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray laughed and said: "Antonio Conte must have wanted to put pressure on Martin through the media's mouth, but he didn't expect... to trap himself, haha~"

"My personal suggestion is, don't irritate Martin, otherwise he will give you a minimum consumption."

Henry, who was the guest commentator, said playfully.

"Feel the same."

In the second half of the easy-sided battle, Arsenal slowed down their offensive pace.

Chelsea, who were lagging behind by a big score, wanted to save face, but a counterattack broke through the defense. Martin assisted Sanchez to fix the score at 4:0.

Martin also raised his personal annual scoring record to 103 goals.

In the end, Arsenal defeated Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium with Martin's 3 shots and 1 pass.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the on-site director immediately showed the camera to Martin and pushed it to his face.

"The game is over!"

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun said impassionedly: "Incredible achievement! 103 goals in the year! I believe that in many years to come, such a goal record will be difficult to break. Of course... Whether it can be broken, or not. Look at the young man in the picture, Martin, who is only 21 years old! As long as he wants to..."
