Chapter 459 Martin broke Guardiola’s football philosophy and won the FA Cup for six consecutive years!
Arsenal took the lead in reaching the 2018-2019 Champions League final. Almost everyone thought that this season’s Champions League final would be a decisive battle between the Premier League and La Liga. Unexpectedly, Liverpool, who lost three goals to Barcelona in the first round as a guest, would end an epic game at home. Big reversal.

Anfield miracle!

As a result, the two sides in this season's Champions League final turned into a civil war in the Premier League.

This is also the first time that Premier League teams have met in the Champions League final after the 2007-2008 season.

Today's British media are particularly proud. As Liverpool and Arsenal meet in this season's Champions League final, they have absolute reasons to believe that the Premier League is the best league on the planet!

Otherwise...how could Arsenal reach the Champions League final for four consecutive seasons?
Why did Liverpool achieve two breakthroughs in the Europa League final and Champions League final?
Not to mention two Premier League teams reaching the Champions League final!
The Spanish media is particularly depressed.

The Champions League champions in the past three seasons have been Arsenal, and this season Arsenal and Liverpool will meet in the final.

How to refute?

In the end, the media from Madrid had no choice but to vent their dissatisfaction on Barcelona, ​​which had fallen behind.

Originally, in the eyes of many La Liga fans and Barcelona fans, Barcelona was 100% the one to join Arsenal in the final...

Arsenal fans are now very arrogant, believing that no matter who their opponents in the Champions League final are, they can beat their favorite home team.

Arsenal's main players who advanced to the Champions League final got a certain chance to rest.

If the league wins the championship early, it should also allow players from the semi-main team, substitutes and youth teams to play more games.

Arteta is also a coach who prefers to set records. When training substitutes and youth team players, he will also put Martin in the starting lineup or substitute.

After all, with the presence of the Poseidon Needle, the players will have extra motivation and support.

Arsenal achieved three wins and one draw in the remaining four rounds of the league, which is equivalent to 36 wins, two draws and 2 points throughout the season.

Although he did not tie the championship record of 112 points set last season, Arteta was very satisfied with the performance of his first season in charge of Arsenal.

The most amazing thing is the runner-up and third runner-up.

Last season's Premier League runner-up Manchester City scored 89 points, and this season it is even more exaggerated, with 94 points.

Against this background, the score of third-placed Liverpool is even more amazing.

92 points.

Let's not talk about Arsenal's championship points in the past four seasons. 94 points and 92 points have been absolute league champions in many seasons.

But in this season's Premier League, we can only get the runner-up and third place.

Strong teams like Tottenham and Chelsea can only compete for fourth place.

[When will Arsenal’s dominance end? 】

[Polo King, please change your team... How about coming to Real Madrid? 】

[With its terrifying dominance, football is becoming more and more boring. Is it supposed to be a team sport? 】

……

The focus of major social media is once again on Martin.

The person involved, Martin, did not pay attention to outside reports. He focused all his energy on the FA Cup final and the Champions League final.

Manchester City and Liverpool are indeed very familiar opponents, but they still need to be taken seriously before the game.

Every game is a new contest, and we cannot let down our guard because of past victories.

Whether it is Manchester City or Liverpool, they all want to defeat Arsenal in the next final and avenge their previous disgrace.

Especially Manchester City star De Bruyne.

He vaguely remembered the time when he and Martin played for Wolfsburg.

At that time, Martin couldn't even organize an offense. As a result, he made rapid progress in just half a season.

Along with the numerous assists, there were also numerous breakthroughs in goals.

De Bruyne asked himself countless times, why are people so different?
Time flies and it’s the day of the FA Cup final in a blink of an eye.

New Wembley Stadium.

With more than an hour left before the game, Europe's second-largest stadium, which can accommodate 90,000 fans, was almost full, and the only remaining seats were quickly filled by fans lining up to enter.

De Bruyne, who started again, is really working hard and must perform well today to lead Manchester City to defeat Arsenal at the new Wembley Stadium and win the first championship since joining Manchester City.

Including many players who joined Manchester City, they also want to try the feeling of championship.

Over the past four years, Arsenal have firmly controlled the championship in all competitions they have participated in.

But many times the idea is very difficult to realize.

The overall performance of Arsenal led by Martin was simply impeccable.

The players are in excellent condition and work well with each other.

Manchester City players are indeed united and run with all their strength to win the game.

But many times running feels like a headless fly.

Now Guardiola has also fallen into a misunderstanding, believing that suppressing Martin's performance is the key to winning the game.

His team has also gradually given up on comprehensive passing and control, choosing to first ensure that there are no problems with the defense while controlling the ball.

However, Martin's team never worried about how the other team could play good defense.

Fernandinho, De Bruyne and Seat B, who assisted in defense, all had doubts about life.

There's no way to prevent it.

Guardiola's football philosophy has been changed by the powerful Martin. He paced back and forth in the coaching technical area, frowning at the outstanding performance of Martin, and his brain continued to operate at a high speed, obviously trying to find a way to control Martin.

There are many head coaches who have this idea, but none of them completely implement it.

Guardiola, who has excelled since the beginning of his coaching career, feels that he is the son of destiny and will definitely be able to find a way.

He always thought that it was possible that his thinking had changed.

But in which direction his thoughts should develop, he has no idea yet.

Time waits for no one, and the situation will not stay where it is.

The most important thing is that Martin is the kind of ceiling-level player that you can't figure out at all.

He can make the most accurate judgment based on changes in the situation.

In the 27th minute of the game, Martin found the shortcomings of Manchester City's defensive system in continuous defense.

He received a pass from left-back Ferland Mendy on the left side of the attack, passed by Gundogan who was marking him in the front, and used a 'pendulum-style' pass when facing Fernandinho who was covering the defense. The rhythm changed and he went to the middle. After attracting enough defensive attention, he faked a shot and passed the ball. He sent a through ball to the left rib of the penalty area.

Aubameyang appeared in a key position. He didn't wait for Stones to reach his position, leaned his center of gravity to the left, raised his right foot and hit.

The low shot pushed out by the arch of his foot went into the inner edge of the far goal post. Goalkeeper Edson was half a beat too slow to get off the ground and didn't even touch the shadow of the ball.

1:0
Arsenal edge Manchester City at the new Wembley Stadium.

The Arsenal fans in the audience were ecstatic and cheered with joy.

The Manchester City player who lost the ball put his hands on his hips and looked helpless.

The reactions of Arteta and Guardiola were completely opposite, one was ecstatic and the other was depressed.

"Scalpel-like precision."

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray praised: "Martin is always able to find the opponent's defensive loopholes in the fleeting process of the game. Guardiola is now in charge of Manchester City and has made changes. His team pays more attention to defense. , I just didn’t expect that some people can’t be restricted. Maybe head-on confrontation is the best way..."

Mourinho, who served as the commentator, nodded lightly, and did not forget to laugh at himself in the end: "Indeed, at least it will be more honorable to lose, but many things are not possible. I know Josep very well, he is a very proud person. , It is very difficult to pay attention to the method. Just like this, it just shows the extent of Martin's abnormality. You know... I was kicked out of class by him."

The game restarted, and Manchester City, which was lagging behind, did not rush to organize a mercury-like attack to equalize the score. Instead, they moved forward step by step when there were no problems with the defense.

There are not many people participating in the attack, and the two full-backs can only take turns to advance forward to participate in the attack.

You must know that such an offensive method does not exist in Guardiola's tactical system.

He is good at bonding the team into a huge whole. The offense requires full participation, and even the goalkeeper must have a strong ability to play the ball.

Until the end of the first half, the score on the scoreboard did not change.

The Arsenal fans at the new Wembley Stadium were impassioned and made hysterical chants to cheer for their beloved team who were leading the score.

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly, and both sides returned to the court to prepare for the second half of the game.

Arsenal, who have a kick-off advantage, will naturally not rush to launch a threatening attack. Under the leadership of Martin, they slowly move the ball to the thirty-meter area in the frontcourt through patient passing. Martin is very active in his position, fully demonstrating what it means to be a free man in the frontcourt.

His movement is never limited to a certain position, and the team's tactical system is also very flexible.

But there is only one core, and that is to play around Martin.

What kind of attack method is adopted is entirely decided by Martin.

Time in high-level matches often goes by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it’s 15 minutes into the second half, which means the game has been played for an hour.

The scoreboard showed Arsenal leading Manchester City 1:0.

Time passed slowly, and the Manchester City players became a little anxious.

Guardiola saw it, and he was actually very satisfied with the team's performance in the past hour.

Being only one goal behind can have a profound impact on future games.

As long as the defensive end does not concede the ball, then there is a chance to find Arsenal's defensive shortcomings through cannibalization and give a fatal blow to equalize the score!
It’s just that many times the ideal is very full, but the reality is extremely skinny.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Martin made a wonderful pass with Xhaka, Mahrez and Cavani on the right side of the attack. He used his right foot to suddenly push the ball to the left, passed Fernandinho who was defending, and then adjusted his pace.

De Bruyne, who was actively defending, subconsciously fell to the ground and tackled.

Never imagined.

Martin faked a shot and passed the ball. The outside instep of his left foot passed the ball to Kanter who was moving forward to support the attack.

Immediately, Kanter pushed the ball forward lightly.

Martin, who dodged De Bruyne, accelerated diagonally and appeared in Kanter's path.

"Martin!!!"

As PP sports commentator Zhan Jun shouted, Martin swung his left foot two meters in front of the top of the penalty area and volleyed directly.

Stones' forward self-sacrifice was half a beat too late, and the football shot up from the ground and passed by at high speed, piercing the Manchester City penalty area with an unstoppable momentum.

Goalkeeper Ederson subconsciously took a step to the right. His outstretched right arm followed the force of his right foot and went out sideways. However, the distance between the opening and the ball was several centimeters away from the football, which was obviously heading towards the blind spot.

"Ruined."

※※※※※

"Martin!"

"Left foot world wave!"

"Arsenal leads Manchester City 2:0!"

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun shouted passionately: "This score is very likely to be the final score of this game!"

Liverpool coach Klopp, who was sitting in the audience, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Although he knew Arsenal's tactical system very well, he still came to the scene to watch the match against Arsenal in the Champions League final.

In fact, everyone knows that Arsenal's intensity of leaving Martin behind is not high. This is why many people will focus on how to limit Martin's performance as the core of their tactics.

As a result, one team after another was scored and assisted by Martin.

The same goes for the FA Cup final at the new Wembley Stadium.

Martin, who was closely guarded, passed and shot in the first and second half.

The scoreboard showed a small score, only a two-goal lead, but it was a huge blow to Manchester City.

Guardiola, standing in the coach's technical area, was thinking, should he resign at the press conference after the game?

Since becoming the head coach of Manchester City in the summer of 2016, he has spent a lot of money but has not won a championship.

This was the worst moment of his coaching career.

Bayern at least still has a guaranteed league title.

Came to Manchester City but gained nothing.

The on-site director showed the Arsenal players who had finished celebrating the goal, and then showed the disappointed Manchester City players.

It can be clearly seen from the broadcast screen that Aguero, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Fernandinho and other stars who appeared on the broadcast screen seemed to have no desire to fight, with heavy faces and sighs.

The game restarted, and Manchester City, who were two goals behind, obviously lost their energy and played without any threat at all.

Arsenal defended without pressure, changed possession of the ball, and used passing and controlling methods to reasonably consume the game time.

Guardiola didn't want to admit defeat early, so he changed the tactics on the field through substitutions and adjustments.

Arteta made tit-for-tat adjustments.

"aoaooaooooooo——"

The Arsenal fans at the new Wembley Stadium were extremely excited and shouted one wave after another.

On the other hand, Manchester City fans remained silent, and some even chose to leave the game early to vent their strong dissatisfaction with the team's performance.

The on-site director was very good at finding trouble and took advantage of the stalemate between the two parties to give close-ups of the VIP seats.

Liverpool head coach Klopp, who was sitting in the audience watching the Arsenal game, now has a headache and feels a bit emo.

He doesn't want to follow Guardiola's footsteps, but he doesn't want to go head-to-head with Arsenal either.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Klopp always feels that he will die faster if he fights head-on...

Manchester City boss Mansour frowned and looked heavy.

It was easy to tell that he was unhappy with the team's performance.

The Kroenke father and son sitting not far away were smiling happily.

Although they gave Martin the highest salary in world football, it... was completely insufficient compared to his income.

Let’s not talk about how many times our own assets have appreciated.

The value of Arsenal alone has increased eightfold!
It's just a lot of money.

In their words, as long as Martin is willing to stay with the team, no matter how much the salary is, there will be no problem.

The two teams traded offense and defense in the remaining game time, but neither team was able to knock on the opponent's goal.

"Beep~beep~beep~~"

The referee Oliver blew two short and one long whistles to end the game.

"competition is over!"

"competition is over!!"

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun said loudly: "Arsenal defeated Manchester City 2:0 with captain Martin's passing and shooting in the first and second half, and won the FA Cup again at the new Wembley Stadium! This... is also Arsenal's consecutive victory. Winning the oldest championship in England in six seasons!”

The broadcast screen immediately showed Martin, pushing it to a close-up of his face.

Arsenal can become the hegemon of England and even Europe, and Martin's role is to take the greatest credit.

To put it bluntly, without Martin, there would be no Arsenal that is now feared!

Martin, who has become the recognized world champion, has not become arrogant because of too many honors. On the contrary, he works extra hard and insists on practicing extra every day. When he sees the fans, he will respond enthusiastically as soon as possible...

Who wouldn't like such a top superstar?

If there is, it can only be said to be a football association from the far east.

Closer to home.

The FA was very efficient and quickly set up two temporary venues in the middle of the stadium facing the main stand.

Prize podium and championship showcase.

"aoaooaoaooaooo——"

"we are the champion!!"

The most enthusiastic moment in the audience was undoubtedly Martin holding up the silver trophy symbolizing the FA Cup championship, with great momentum and lasting momentum.
