Chapter 412 Take action when it’s time to take action! The superstar operation of the Champions League king

"aoaooaooooooooo——"

The fanatical atmosphere at the Kyiv Olympic Stadium improved qualitatively as the game approached the end of the first half.

As we all know, there are four phases of the game where it is easiest to score goals.

The beginning of the first half and the end of the first half.

There are still two minutes left before the end of the first half, which also means that it is very easy to lose the ball during this period.

Both Arsenal fans and Real Madrid fans were a little nervous.

Of course you will be ecstatic if your team scores a goal, but it will also make you depressed if you lose a goal.

Especially for Real Madrid fans.

A goal behind also means the possibility of an equalizer. Once Arsenal expands the score, the hope of winning the Champions League to save face will be completely shattered.

Arsenal fans were worried about Real Madrid's equalizer during this period.

If this is the case, the morale-boosted Real Madrid is likely to take the lead in the second half!

Momentum is something you can't see or touch, but it has a huge impact on the game!

The time is coming to the injury time of the first half. The Real Madrid players on the court want to equalize the score more and more strongly, and they have the operations to turn their ideals into reality.

Step up your offense!

Modric, who received the pass from the backcourt, accelerated the forward pass. He and safety ball expert Toni Kroos consciously reduced the lateral and backward passes and increased the forward pass.

Real Madrid head coach Zidane also keenly captured the change in the situation. He stood in the command and technical area on the sidelines with his chin in his hands, obviously weighing the pros and cons.

The time is about to enter the injury time of the first half.

Strengthen the offense to equalize the score, or accept the 0:1 deficit and enter the halftime break.

After a short ideological struggle, the players' ideas were finally acquiesced.

As a professional player who has achieved very high achievements, Zidane knows that the mentality of the final will be very important.

Once the score is equalized before halftime, it will definitely bring a huge morale boost to the second half.

No matter how bad it goes, it will just maintain the existing score until the end of the first half.

As for the possible 0:2 deficit, Zidane has automatically ignored it.

In other words, his subconscious thought that Arsenal just wanted to maintain the existing score until the end of the first half.

In the Champions League final, which is about the championship, one should definitely be careful.

Wenger, who was sitting in the visiting team's coaching bench, looked at the Real Madrid players who were changing their offensive strategies on the field, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a thoughtful smile.

He is quite aware of the team's ability to score goals in the four easiest stages.

Real Madrid's increased forward passing range means that the stable transition from offense to defense will be under unprecedented pressure.

The key is……

Defensive midfielder Casemiro received a yellow card.

According to Martin's field layout and ability to capture fighters, he will definitely be utilized.

As long as the opportunity arises, he will definitely gain something in the last two minutes!

"aoaooaoaooooooo——"

Deafening shouts echoed throughout the Kiev Olympic Stadium, and Real Madrid once again had the opportunity to advance from the back.

Knowing that Arsenal's defensive ability in the middle is extremely strong, Modric and Tony Russia's passes are all launched from the side.

Arsenal's defense is exactly the same as before. Real Madrid's attack was launched from the side without too many obstacles. The defense mainly focused on guarding the center and ribs.

According to Real Madrid's usual offensive routine, the final pass will return to the center.

As long as there are no flaws in the wing defense, players in the center and ribs who do not need to cover up can focus more on marking other important Real Madrid superstars.

For example: Ronaldo, Benzema.

Both forwards have strong scoring ability, especially Ronaldo, who averaged one goal per game during his time at Real Madrid.

Benzema has been more of a wingman since joining Real Madrid, but he can still seize it as long as he is given the opportunity.

With Bell no longer being taken seriously by Zidane, Benzema has become an important scoring tool second only to Ronaldo!

After multiple passes, the football bypassed Martin's defense zone and reached the feet of Modric, who was attacking the left rib. He dunked the ball forward with two active lunges on the inside of his right instep. Temporarily distance yourself from Xhaka.

Immediately afterwards, before Xhaka could catch up, he used a very secretive way to touch the ball with the outside instep of his right foot and completed an unexpected 45° cross from the left rib.

Although it was a surprise for Arsenal, it was obviously expected by Real Madrid teammates.

Ronaldo's ghostly running position was also revealed at this time. His fake running acceleration left Van Dijk behind, and then he jumped high on the left rib of the penalty area and completed a very difficult lion's head shake!

The football changes its trajectory and flies towards the far end of the goal.

Cech, who was already moving towards the near corner, looked at the football flying in the opposite direction but did not take a step after all. All he could do was to keep enough vision to capture the football until...

"Bang~"

The football that Ronaldo pushed toward the far end of the goal from the left rib of the penalty area hit the crossbar only about five centimeters from the junction with the right goal post, making a small collision sound.

De Ligt, who returned to the goal, was mature and calm beyond his years. He observed the situation around him in advance and used his chest to point the ball to the goalkeeper Cech who did not make a save.

"wowoooooooooo——"

Accompanied by the exclamations from the audience, Ronaldo put his head in his hands when he landed. After realizing it, Cech instinctively reached out and hugged the football that De Ligt pointed over.

Without any hesitation, he quickly threw the football in his hand low to Kanter, who was dragging him at the top of the arc in the penalty area. The latter handled the ball very simply, and pushed the ball to Xhaka who ran out of space with the arch of his right foot.

Modric completed a wonderful pass with the outside of his right foot and immediately pounced on Martin.

In his opinion, Arsenal's most threatening offense comes from captain Martin!

After receiving the ball, Xhaka gestured to pass the ball to Mahrez, who was on the right rib. Toni Kroos, who was moving nearby, instinctively fell to the ground and shoveled out of his body's conditioned reflex, trying to intercept Xhaka and pass it to Mahrez. pass.

Unexpectedly, Xhaka made full use of the flexibility of his ankle. He originally pushed the ball with the arch of his left foot, but instead pushed the ball to the left with the outside of his left foot.

Fans at the Kyiv Olympic Stadium clearly saw Xhaka knocking Toni Kroos to the ground.

Fake fax buckle!

Modric, who was originally going to help Casemiro defend Martin, saw his partner being shaken. He complained a little and changed his mind at the moment. He turned a small corner and pounced on Xhaka who was adjusting his steps, while taking into account Xhaka's contact. Martin's passing lanes.

Modric had already guessed what Xhaka was going to do, but he fell short of the ideal effect.

Xhaka's adjustment time was extreme. He supported his body with his right foot, and quickly pushed the ball forward with his dropped left foot. He followed the invitation of Martin who was running forward and sent a direct pass forward.

Casemiro followed the defensive tactics arranged by Zidane and stuck to Martin early, not giving him an easy chance to get the ball, and then waiting for Modric...

His pupils shrank suddenly when he thought of this. Modric, who was supposed to help defend Martin, had already been attracted by Xhaka who knocked down Toni Kroos.

"Oops!"

At this moment, Martin, who started a little faster, suddenly pushed the football forward that Xhaka was pushing forward, and then kicked the ground alternately with two powerful legs.

This... is a sign of acceleration!

Casemiro had no choice but to foul Arsenal's quick counterattack.

However, the moment he grabbed Martin's jersey with his right hand, he suddenly thought that he had a yellow card on his back.

If Arsenal is stopped by fouling at this time, the yellow card will definitely not escape.

By the time……

"A foul must be committed!"

Casemiro's brain is running at high speed and he knows how important his responsibility is. So even if there is a foul, Martin must be left where he is.

As for whether he will receive his second yellow card in this game, that is up to fate...

Unexpectedly, it was Casemiro who had a moment of consideration and missed the best opportunity to foul.

Martin was extremely fast and explosive. He increased his speed in just a few steps. By the time Casemiro made up his mind to commit a foul, there was no other way...

Standing in the technical area where the home team coach was directing, Zidane's pupils shrank suddenly, and strong uneasiness swept through his body instantly.

Casemiro failed to bring down Martin in the first place, which meant... he directly faced the entire defense!

At the same time, Mahrez accelerated from the right rib, and Cavani, who was actively involved in defense, also accelerated towards the left rib.

Martin, who was speeding up, didn't care at all about Real Madrid's two central defenders Ramos and Varane who were not far away from each other.

The two full-backs of Real Madrid's offense did not participate in assists at the same time. When Marcelo pushed forward, Carvajal stayed behind.

So it was two-on-three after Martin broke through Casemiro's defense.

Not too passive, but relatively passive.

Mahrez's forward penetration attracted Ramos' attention, which meant that Varane and Carvajal, who had moved in, were marking Martin.

"aooaoaoaooooooo——"

"uwuwuwuuwuuu——"

The sky above Kyiv's Olympic Stadium was filled with loud chants from Arsenal fans and harsh boos from Real Madrid fans.

The two huge sounds were like complementary energies, raising the fanatical atmosphere to a new level.

Martin was not affected in any way. On the contrary, he completely increased his speed and approached Varane and Carvajal at high speed.

The three Real Madrid players responsible for the defense felt very irritated.

For them, the best situation at the moment is to face it calmly.

Huge sounds swept from all directions, undoubtedly bringing intense pressure to the three of them.

Martin, who was at full speed, crossed the center line in the blink of an eye, getting closer and closer to Varane and Carvajal, who were fighting and retreating.

Taking advantage of Mahrez's forward thrust to attract Ramos's defensive attention, Martin dropped his left shoulder when he was more than three meters away from Varane, as if he was about to break through from the left.

Varane has rich experience in the game and is relatively calm in a noisy environment. He watched a lot of Martin's breakthrough highlights before the game and knew that the opponent was good at using fake moves to break through.

Therefore, it was determined that Martin would feint a shot in order to prepare for the next real breakthrough.

next moment.

Martin really used the outside instep of his left foot to move the ball to the front left, and then followed up with lightning speed.

"????"

Countless questions popped up in Varane's mind.

Obviously, he did not expect Martin to change his usual breakthrough routine.

But it is simply impossible to make up for defensive mistakes...

Varane, who didn't know what to do, was as easy as a wooden stake and Martin broke through from the right side of his body.

Carvajal reacted quickly and used the inertia of acceleration to fall to the ground to block.

Based on his understanding of Martin, he knew that it was completely impossible to intercept Martin's possession of the ball, so he was mentally prepared to commit a foul!

Can……

Will Martin get fouled that easily?

After accelerating past Varane, he naturally stepped forward with the inside of his left foot and dunked the football forward to the right.

The sudden change of direction also widened the distance from Carvajal, who was trying to foul.

Coupled with the safety action of jumping up, raising the waist and closing the legs, Carvajal's wish for a foul was frustrated.

"Oh My God!"

BBC sports commentator Lineker exclaimed: "Martin easily passed Raphael Varane and Daniel Carvajal! He faced goalkeeper Keylor Navas directly!"

Zidane, who was in the technical area directed by the coach of the home team, naturally raised his hands and covered his forehead almost as a conditioned reflex.

……

Standing in front of the goal, Navas' mouth twitched slightly, and he sent greetings to the families of his defense teammates in his heart.

Afterwards, his brain was running at high speed, and he finally came up with motivational remarks similar to "The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road", thinking about breaking Martin's record of 100% goal rate with a single shot with a divinely assisted performance!

"wuwuuwuuuuuuuu——"

Real Madrid fans at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev were still making their last stand and booed loudly.

Even many Real Madrid fans in front of the TV couldn't help but boo Martin, obviously hoping to interfere with Martin's solo performance in this way.

Martin, who was running at full speed, was not affected by the outside world at all. He strode the ball to the penalty area.

Facing Navas, who had no intention of attacking, he had at least ten ways to score in his mind.

In the end, he chose the method with the highest success rate.

Bringing the ball to the penalty area line, consciously lowering the speed, the body's center of gravity continues to sway left and right, and the two legs that alternately move forward follow the rhythm of the swaying body to move the ball.

This……

Real Madrid legend Ronaldo, who came to watch the game again, was in high spirits.

pendulum!

His famous stunt!

Navas, who was even prepared to turn the tide, looked at Martin's continuous exaggeration and his whole body went numb.

When Martin made the fourth pendulum, he finally lost control, lost his center of gravity, and fell to the left side of his body.

Martin was waiting for this opportunity. The outside instep of his left foot moved the ball in the opposite direction of the movement of Navas' body center of gravity.

Then, with the whole world watching, Martin completed a very light push.

Although the football moving close to the ground is very slow and the angle is very bad, it has lost its resistance to the Real Madrid goal, which has no defensive power in front of the goal.

A few tenths of a second later, the football with the Champions League five-star logo crossed the goal line and hit the snow-white net...

"Goooooooooooooooal——"

"The ball is in! It's in!"

"Martin, the single-handed king, once again seized a great opportunity and helped Arsenal expand the score in the first minute of injury time of the first half!"

"2:0! Martin scored twice! Leading Arsenal to victory!"

……

Most of the commentators in the live commentary box/live broadcast room blurted out their eloquent explanations at this moment.

The entire Kyiv Olympic Stadium also became a sea of ​​joy for Arsenal fans, with huge cheers coming one after another.

Real Madrid fans held their heads in their hands and stared blankly at the Arsenal players who were celebrating their goals crazily.

The Real Madrid superstars on the field also became particularly confused. They knew what Arsenal's two-goal lead meant...
