Chapter 488 Perfect 2020! The greatest football player in the sport!

"we are the champion!!"

The Portuguese fans at the new Wembley Stadium were ecstatic and cheered loudly in unison.

A fanatical atmosphere swept the entire stadium.

The Portuguese players completed the championship-related ceremonies in the championship exhibition area. Each player received the silver Delaunay Cup and displayed it up close to the enthusiastic fans in the audience.

"Martin!"

"Martin!!"

"Martin!!!"

When Martin once again took over the Delaunay Cup, which symbolizes the European Cup championship trophy, the Portuguese fans in the audience shouted three times in unison.

They all know why their beloved team successfully defended the European Cup.

There is only one reason.

Martin is fully supportive through his super abilities!
12 European Cup goals and 4 assists in a single session.

Directly involved in 80% of Portugal's goals in this European Cup.

Although it is said that without Martin, 80% of the goals will be missed, but they will definitely not be able to reach the finals of this European Cup. It is estimated that even the quarterfinals will be choked.

You must know that in the group stage, the German team and the French team were drawn in the death group. Without Martin, it is very likely that they will not be able to win the game. Even if they can qualify in the end, they will most likely finish third in the group.

The display of the championship trophy by the Portuguese coaching staff and players at the new Wembley Stadium lasted about 20 minutes, and then captain Ronaldo led the players back to the locker room.

Head coach Santos attended the regular press conference after the game.

Half an hour ago, England coach Southgate, who lost the game, was interviewed by the official partner media of the European Cup from around the world.

It was no different from the usual speech by the head coach of a team that lost to Martin.

It's nothing more than taking the responsibility for losing, and then saying that the team is still very young, and if it loses, it still has a future.

This European Cup will also become a valuable asset for these young players.

When interviewed by media reporters, Santos did not first praise Martin for leading the team, but instead praised the team's outstanding performance. Finally, he mentioned that the team could defeat England at the new Wembley Stadium to complete the defense of the championship. After seven games, 12 goals are extremely important.

Two years later it was the World Cup in Qatar, and Santos listened to reporters about whether he had plans to win the championship.

He thought for a moment before saying: "No one knows what will happen in two years. Even if we are now the strongest national team in the world, no one can say for sure in the future."

After that, Santos stood up and left the press conference, returned to the locker room, and celebrated the 'hard-won' championship with the players again.

In the past about half an hour, the team waited from the new Wembley Stadium to the designated parking lot and boarded the bus back to their hotel.

Along the way, there were excited fans.

Especially around the hotel, you can see a sea of ​​red joy.

Ronaldo, Martin, B and other Portuguese stars smiled and waved to the enthusiastic fans, and then indicated that everyone can celebrate the championship appropriately, but they must pay attention to the scale. Finally, it is already very late, so everyone must remember to go back early to rest.

The Portuguese team returned to the hotel to celebrate their victory again, with champagne and beer provided by sponsors everywhere.

Fortunately, the official budget is sufficient and they don't care about these unnecessary losses.

The entire Portuguese team stayed high in the luxurious five-star hotel until two or three in the morning before falling asleep one after another.

The next afternoon, the whole team took a special plane from London to Lisbon.

After a night's rest with their families in a luxurious hotel reserved for them, members of the coaching staff, players and their families participated in the championship celebrations in Lisbon.

The entire Portuguese team was present in Rossio Square and Count Pombal Square.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Martin also delivered speeches in two squares filled with crowds of people.

The two have a tacit understanding, and they bluntly point to the World Cup in Qatar two years later!

Portugal's championship celebration was broadcast live across the country, so not only the city of Lisbon erupted with deafening shouts, but the streets and alleys of Portugal were filled with hysterical cheers from Portuguese people.

※※※※※

After participating in Portugal's championship celebrations, the Portuguese internationals, led by Cristiano Ronaldo and Martin, finally took a rare break.

Martin declined the invitation from Ronaldo's family and instead called up his good friends from the Porto U17 youth team and took his private jet to various holiday destinations.

Of course, all costs are included.

Check in at resorts such as Bali, Maldives, and Mauritius.

Due to Martin's high popularity and influence around the world, many fans come here to attend.

I thought about having a chance encounter with my idol or something, and then asked for photos and autographs.

You must know that there is never a shortage of smart people in this world.

As a result, the resorts Martin visited were all overcrowded, and local officials couldn't help laughing.

Martin has always loved his fans and fully satisfied their requests while enjoying his vacation.

However, there were too many fans arriving and time was limited.

So Martin thought of a way, which is to have people take a group photo of a hundred people with a high-resolution camera...

On major social platforms, there are once again hot topics about Martin.

[The number one fan in the sports world! Martin is a true travel fan, and various photos of hundreds of people will subvert your perception. 】

Every fan who participated in the group photo posted photos on social platforms.

While Martin was on vacation, the transfer market in world football was in full swing.

Manchester City player Sane moved to Bayern for 4500 million euros after a serious injury.

Barcelona spent 60 million euros to introduce Pjanic from Juventus, 31 million euros to introduce Trincao, and 21 million euros to introduce Ajax player Dest.

If there are expenses, there will naturally be income.

'Account-making midfielder' Arthur joined Juventus for 72 million euros, and Semedo, who shined in the European Cup, moved to Wolves for 30 million euros.

Atletico Madrid bought double-reverse football player Morata from Chelsea for 56 million euros and rented Torreira from Arsenal.

Paris Saint-Germain bought their captain Icardi from Inter Milan for 50 million euros.

Manchester City spent 68 million euros to introduce Ruben Dias from Benfica and 43.5 million euros to introduce Ake.

Martin's performance at Arsenal also saw the departure of key players and the introduction of players this summer.

Kante, who has been with the team for four years, joined Real Madrid for 90 million euros, but Arsenal only received 20 million euros.

Odegaard and Achraf offset €70 million.

Among them, Odegaard is the substitute that head coach Arteta is looking for for Martin.

In his opinion, Martin, who will most likely lead Arsenal to six consecutive Champions League titles, will change to a new environment next summer.

It must be mentioned that before selling Kante, Arsenal had already taken a fancy to Atletico Madrid midfielder Thomas in the transfer market and paid 50 million euros to avoid the possibility of being ripped off after losing their main midfielder.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Although Martin, who participated in all seven games of the European Cup, had more vacation time than many professional players, he chose to return to the team early at the end of the International Champions Cup to participate in preparations for the Community Shield and the European Super Cup in the 2020-2021 season.

Guardiola and Lopetegui, who wanted to lead their team to steal a championship, were speechless when they saw the news of Martin returning to the team early.

What the hell, is it so difficult to win a championship?
……

On August 8, the 9 Community Shield kicked off at the new Wembley Stadium.

Defending champion Arsenal has made major adjustments to its starting lineup.

Goalkeeper: Leno

Defenders: Ferland Mendy, Van Dijk, David Luiz, Achraf
Midfielder: Thomas, Xhaka

Midfielder: Leo, Martin, Gnabry

Forward: Haaland
Manchester City's starting lineup is very luxurious, using a 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: Ederson
Defenders: Cancelo, Ruben Dias, Stones, Kyle Walker Midfielder: De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan
Forwards: Sterling, Foden, Seat B

……

Compared to Manchester City's more star-studded starting lineup, Arsenal's average age is much younger.

However, the overall performance of the team with Martin has always been excellent, and the same was true in this Community Shield at the packed new Wembley Stadium.

Manchester City, who had a kick-off advantage, wanted to dominate the attack and kill the game before Arsenal sent out their main players.

Guardiola's idea is very good, but it is difficult to implement it.

Although Ashraf and Thomas are newly joined players and are not particularly familiar with the operation of the tactical system, there are also young players such as Leo and Haaland who are gradually becoming the main players. However, with Martin linking up the overall offense, the shortcomings that have emerged are Repaired in a very short time.

In the 18th minute of the game, Arsenal took the lead.

Martin received Xhaka's forward pass in the middle, broke through Gundogan and Rodri one after another, and sent a scalpel-like precise cross from the right at a 45° angle.

The football flying towards the Manchester City penalty area seemed to draw a rainbow in mid-air, bypassing Ruben Dias at the front point, and accurately found Haaland leaping high nine yards in front of the goal.

Twisting his waist and shaking his head, he headed the ball into the goal guarded by Ederson.

The Manchester City players on the field looked at each other.

Guardiola, who was standing in the coach's technical area, shook his head repeatedly.

Three minutes later, Martin received Gnabry's pass from the right in the middle and passed it without too much adjustment. He shot directly into the right rib of the attack about 30 meters away from the goal.

Boom~
The football shot up from the ground like a cannonball, without any rotation in mid-air.

Goalkeeper Ederson subconsciously took a step to the right, and his whole body rose into the air, but his body stretched to the extreme without letting the outstretched right fingertips touch the football.

The powerful and heavy football hit the top of the left goal post and hit the inside of the knocking post into the net.

2:0
Some Manchester City fans at the new Wembley Stadium began to stand up.

What to do?

Leave early.

They came here with a sense of luck, thinking that the team could upset Arsenal and win the championship in recent seasons.

As a result, we fell behind by two goals in less than half an hour.

According to Martin's team law.

Being two goals behind already means losing the chance to counterattack.

Before the end of the first half, Martin sent a ground-breaking pass from the right. Haaland caught up with him in the middle and made a tackle, extending the score to three goals.

This goal also meant that the remaining game time was completely garbage time.

The Community Shield was able to make six substitutions, with both teams making extensive rotations before the start of the second half.

Because everyone knows that the remaining game time is meaningless.

To be on the safe side, Arteta did not replace Martin until the 80th minute.

The score at this time has become 4:0.

Before the end of the game, Manchester City's Prince Foden scored a face-saving goal.

"Congratulations Martin!"

"Congratulations Arsenal!"

Migu sports commentator Zhan Jun said impassionedly: "The sixth consecutive Community Shield championship! An unprecedented super record!"

Guest commentator Zhang Hehe continued: "In three days, Arsenal will still have a chance to win the UEFA Super Cup for five consecutive years!"

I heard many Dragon Country fans here speaking on social platforms.

[Is there a chance to win five consecutive UEFA Super Cup titles? Are you kidding me? Absolutely! 】

[What pressure can Sevilla bring to Arsenal, the world’s club hegemon? 】

【I declare! Arsenal sets new record for consecutive UEFA Super Cup titles! 】

……

Three days later, the 2020 UEFA Super Cup started at the Puskas Arena in Budapest.

The opponents are Arsenal, the 2019-2020 Champions League champion, and Sevilla, the Europa League champion.

Martin is still very familiar with this stadium and has good memories.

They won all the European Cup matches played here this June.

Regular press conference before the start of the game.

Sevilla coach Lopetegui told the media some past events. When he was coaching Porto, he had an unpleasant argument with sporting director Antero Enrique over Martin.

He took a fancy to Martin's talent at that time and hoped to focus on cultivating him in the 2014-2015 season. He did not expect that he would be sold to Wolfsburg at a low price.

Often at this time, Antero Enrique will be ridiculed by everyone.

It was his "short-sightedness" that brought out the vicious vision of Wolfsburg's sports director Alofs. It was he who signed Martin against all odds and became the second player in Wolfsburg's history. He won a league championship and a European championship, and also left the club with a high transfer fee excluding the share of the second transfer.

It’s simply a typical one-size-fits-all deal.

言归正传，8月13日晚上8点45分，2020年欧洲超级杯准时打响。

Arsenal played with a semi-main lineup, and Sevilla played with a full lineup.

For many fans who watch the game live or follow the European Super Cup, it is only a matter of time before defending champion Arsenal wins the game.

After all, Arsenal's semi-main lineup is still led by Martin.

Arsenal with Martin playing is equal to the main force.

Sevilla's overall performance was very good, and Lopetegui also made targeted arrangements for the talented young man he once valued most, but now Martin's ability is extremely abnormal, and there is no strategy to effectively limit it.

In the 23rd minute, Odegaard, who made his first appearance on behalf of Arsenal, sent a diagonal pass from the right to find his national teammate Haaland who penetrated into the right rib of the penalty area. The latter's shot was blocked by Konde and the football fell forward. Ricardo Pereira is on the right.

Ricardo Pereira made an inverted triangle, and his national team teammate Martin volleyed with his left foot from the front of the penalty area on the right side.

The kicked football was as powerful and heavy as a cannonball, beyond the reach of Moroccan goalkeeper Bunu.

Sevilla, who conceded a goal first, were in chaos. Arsenal took advantage of their mistakes in the backcourt and Leo scored another goal.

This goal was also the last goal of the game.

In the end, Arsenal defeated Sevilla 2-0 at the Puskas Arena and completed their fifth consecutive UEFA Super Cup title.

By winning the UEFA Super Cup, Arsenal also won all the competitions they can compete in for the fifth consecutive year.

If we can win the Club World Cup again at the end of the year, then...seven championships for five consecutive years!
The 2020-2021 season kicked off subsequently, and Martin led the team to continue their invincible road.

In the EFL Cup, League, and Champions League group stages, except for a few draws in two games, all other games were won.

Time flies and it’s December in the blink of an eye.

Martin once again won the European Ballon d'Or award founded by "France Football" without any suspense.

With this trophy in hand, Martin and his teammates traveled to Doha, Qatar, to participate in the Club World Cup.

In the semi-finals, Arsenal defeated Cairo National 4:0.

The other semi-final was an upset once again. Palmeiras, the champion of the Copa Libertadores of South America, lost to the Tigers of the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, the Mexican champion, 0:1.

In the final, Martin passed and shot, easily defeating the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León Tigers 2:0.

At the end of the game, the on-site director gave Martin a close-up shot.

"Seven championships for five consecutive years, can you imagine it? Do you dare to imagine it?"

Central 5 commentator He Wei said passionately: "Martin! The greatest player in this sport! Undoubtedly!"
