Chapter 489 Six years to create a legend, 39 championship trophies

"Dragon Kingdom TV, Dragon Kingdom TV, what we are broadcasting for you now is the live broadcast of the final of the UEFA Champions League in the 2020-2021 season. Both teams are from the Premier League, and they are from the same city, wearing traditional red jerseys and white shorts. The one in front is the defending champion Arsenal, who are attacking from the right side of the screen to the left, and the one wearing a blue jersey and blue pants is the away team Chelsea..."

Central 5 commentator He Wei blurted out the iconic opening remarks.

"aoaoaoaooooo——"

A deafening roar echoed above the packed Dragon Stadium.

"Martin!"

"Martin!!"

"Martin!!!"

As soon as Haaland handed the ball to Martin, the auditorium erupted in hysterical shouts from the fans.

This stadium is the home stadium of the Portuguese Super League giant Porto, which is also the youth training team that trained Martin. The most important thing is that he led Portugal to complete the defense of the European Cup last summer. This season’s Champions League final will be held here. In the eyes of local Porto fans, The mainly Portuguese fans naturally unleashed all their passion.

Such a fanatical atmosphere also makes Arsenal feel like they have the home advantage.

In addition, Arsenal's offense was organized and organized by Martin in an orderly manner, gradually burning the flames of war into the dangerous third zone of Chelsea's defense.

Chelsea, coached by Tuchel, continued to defend passively under heavy pressure, and it was difficult to even launch an offense.

The 361 formation, which is equivalent to the 3421 formation change, can only defend honestly and has no time to distract and participate in the offense.

Arsenal, led by Martin, was on the offensive and created opportunities one after another.

However, Haaland, who replaced Cavani as the main center forward, frequently wasted opportunities under the guard of Rudiger and Thiago Silva, so that the Arsenal fans in the audience made regretful sounds one after another.

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta, who was standing in the coaching technical area, sighed. Haaland is indeed very good at eating cakes, but it is easy to become invisible when facing strong teams, and he continuously wasted the excellent shots sent by teammates such as Martin and Gnabry. Good opportunity.

On the other side, the coach directed the technical area. Chelsea head coach Tuchel frowned, nervousness continuing to spread on his body.

Although the team has not conceded a goal, there has not been an effective attack. Arsenal goalkeeper Leno can even chat with the bottom line referee while leaning against the goal post while eating melon seeds.

If this continues, it will be a matter of time before the ball is conceded.

Time passed by second by second, and for Tuchel, it was the 20th minute with no danger.

The ball possession ratio given by the broadcaster is 78%:22%.

The number of shots is 9:0
The ratio of hitting the goal range is 4:0
During this period of time, Martin did not shoot. He mainly connected, organized and passed the ball to threaten the ball.

Tuchel and Chelsea fans know the extent of Martin's abnormality. There is no shot yet in the game. There is a high probability that he is waiting for a perfect opportunity to kill with one hit.

Fortunately, midfielders Jorginho, Mount, and Zouma did a very good job on the defensive end and did not leave much room for Martin to operate.

However, in order to prevent Martin from entering the 30-meter area, Jorginho, who is slower at his feet, has received a yellow card.

This... also brings certain hidden dangers to Chelsea's defense in the middle.

Arsenal continued to attack, and Ashraf used his teammates' passing and movement on the right to find a good opportunity to cross.

The experienced veteran Thiago Silva squeezed the position, and Rudiger cleared the ball out of the baseline.

"No one expected that the first corner kick of this game did not occur until the 23rd minute of the game."

Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at Martin in the broadcast, and his high-pitched voice rose twice: "But this is not good news for Chelsea's goal..."

"It is true. Martin has outstanding heading skills and super jumping ability. I think... it will be difficult for Chelsea players to form an effective defense against him."

Guest commentator Xu Yang said loudly: "My personal feeling is that the first goal of this game is coming soon!"

During the commentator's words, Saka, who was responsible for taking the corner kick, had already walked to the corner flag area on the right side of the attack. He retreated far enough and raised his right hand, giving people the impression of making an obvious tactical gesture.

Martin is Arsenal's most threatening offensive point and he is closely guarded.

Thiago Silva and Rudiger are one behind the other, looking like a red-filled sandwich from the overhead camera.

Saka, who was about to take a corner kick, started to run. Martin, who was originally caught in the middle, suddenly took a step towards the goal. Rudiger and Thiago Silva both became nervous and moved in.

At this moment, Martin used his super explosive power to step back suddenly.

Rudiger reacted quickly and reached out to pull Martin's jersey.

But is Martin an honest player?
While taking a step forward, he used the body of his teammate David Luiz to block him. He suddenly raised his left hand and hit Rudy's right hand that was pulling the jersey firmly.

In pain, Rudiger loosened his hand uncontrollably.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Martin took two quick steps, bypassed teammate David Luiz, and inserted diagonally in front of him to the right rib of the penalty area.

Thiago Silva knew that losing Martin would pose a huge threat to the goal. He didn't have time to think too much, and with quick eyes and quick feet, he passed in front of his teammate Rudiger and followed up.

Never expected it.

The tall figure of his international teammate David Luiz loomed across the path.

Due to the body's conditioned reflex, I had to brake suddenly on the spot.

"Ruined."

Thiago Silva heard the crisp sound of Saka hitting the ball.

The football shot up from the ground with a strong inward arc, drawing a wonderful arc over the Chelsea penalty area.

Havertz, who happened to be in the defense zone, spotted the spot and jumped...

Just as he was getting ready to take off, he saw a red figure flash out from the right out of the corner of his eye. The Arabic numeral [9] raised on the back of the jersey he was wearing was particularly clear.

"Martin!!"

With a loud shout from Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray, the entire Dragon Stadium became a sensation, and a tsunami of shouts swept the entire venue instantly.

"aoaooaoooooo——"

For a moment, Havertz shuddered and looked at Martin with horror in his eyes.

Also feeling the same way is goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.

Martin, who was at the highest point of his jump, twisted his waist and shook his head, pushing the football that landed right in front of his forehead toward the goal.

Edouard Mendy, who was moving towards the near-end goal a second ago, looked at the football falling to the back point and suddenly stopped its forward movement, then quickly took two steps back and jumped back using the weak inertia.

However, the force of Martin's push was very strong. Before Edouard Mendy's body could fully stretch after taking off, the fast and urgent football rushed towards the upper left corner of the goal...

"The ball is in!"

“It’s in, it’s in!!”

"In the 24th minute of the game, Martin headed Saka's accurate corner kick into the goal guarded by Mendy!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei shouted passionately: "Arsenal leads Chelsea 1:0 at the Dragon Stadium!"

"This is the fundamental reason why Arsenal are invincible. You simply can't restrain their captain Martin!!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray shouted passionately: "He scored his 17th goal in the Champions League this season!"

Martin, who appeared on the broadcast screen, did not stand still and wait for his teammates to come forward as before. Instead, he opened his arms and ran to the area where his die-hard fans gathered behind the goal. He closed his eyes and put his hands behind his ears as if listening.

"Martin!"

"Martin!!" "Martin!!!"

The die-hard Arsenal fans shouted hysterically.

Martin enjoyed the situation, but he knew that... soon... he would no longer be able to enjoy the cheers from the Arsenal fans.

When being hugged by his teammates, Martin pulled up the jersey with his left hand, lowered his head and kissed the team logo.

"The captain of Arsenal celebrated in a way that was rarely seen in the past. Is he saying a silent farewell to the fans? Last summer, he once said that he would create a new record for Arsenal that has never been seen before. I think... this game That’s what happened after the game.”

Migu sports commentator Zhan Jun said passionately: "Before the Champions League final, we heard a lot of transfer rumors about Martin. Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Paris Saint-Germain all said this in interviews with the media. Bring in Martin at any cost.”

The game restarted, and Chelsea, who was lagging behind, stepped up their offense and tried to narrow the gap.

It's just that Arsenal's overall defense performed well and did not leave any space for Chelsea's offense to exploit.

Arsenal, who were leading the score, played steadily and waited for opportunities to counterattack.

This kind of tactical play made Tuchel call him a rogue.

You are so strong that you don’t lead the attack...

But the score was behind and there was no other way. They could only maintain the offensive and see if they could knock off the goal guarded by Leno.

Arsenal head coach Arteta was not worried at all. He put his hands behind his hips and walked back and forth in the coaching technical area.

Before the end of the first half, Saka's breakthrough on the right caused a foul on Jorginho, who was defending.

"Is this... giving Martin his 18th goal in the Champions League this season?"

As soon as CC5 commentator He Wei finished speaking, Martin was shown on the broadcast screen.

The Arsenal fans in the audience seemed to be celebrating in advance.

The front line of the penalty area on the right is about 25 meters away from the goal. Anyone familiar with Martin knows that this is a location that fits his shooting range.

"wuwuwuuuuu——"

Chelsea fans were still booing in vain, trying to influence Martin who was about to take the free kick.

How could Martin, who had seen countless big battles, be affected by this?

He ignored what was going on outside the window, placed the ball, and retreated to the most comfortable approach distance.

Chelsea goalkeeper Mendy constantly adjusted the position of the wall, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right.

It wasn't until the referee impatiently intervened that the position was determined.

"Beep~"

The whistle sounded and Martin started to run.

The left foot supports the body, and the familiar golden right foot swings from back to front, touching the ball with the inside of the foot.

The rising football passed over the head of Chelsea's six-man wall with a strong internal rotation arc, like a rainbow across the sky, and hit the net in the upper right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Mendy was stunned and had no reaction.

"aoaooaoaoooo——"

Along with the overwhelming cheers, Martin, who scored the goal, once again ran to the Arsenal die-hard fans gathering area, opened his arms and closed his eyes to enjoy the fanatical atmosphere that hit his face.

The score displayed on the scoreboard changed from 1:0 to 2:0.

Everyone knows that Arsenal, with a two-goal lead, is already guaranteed to win.

Chelsea head coach Tuchel and the players all looked almost desperate, pursed their lips, shook their heads and sighed.

Some Chelsea fans in the audience left early, obviously losing confidence in the game.

After a 15-minute intermission, the game changed sides again in the second half.

Neither side made any personnel adjustments and still used the lineup from the first half.

Chelsea, who were two goals behind, seemed to have regained some fighting spirit after the halftime break and launched a fierce offensive against Arsenal's defensive hinterland.

It's a pity that he won't score any points.

Arsenal survived Chelsea's three blows, and Martin gradually organized some very threatening attacks.

In the 51st minute, Martin played a wonderful match with Xhaka and Thomas one after another, and then used Xhaka's forward fake dunk. Jorginho and Zouma stepped forward to apply pressure and were half a beat late. Martin made full use of his ankle. Flexibility takes the outer instep for concealed forward transport.

Haaland appeared on the right side of the penalty area with understanding. He raised his right foot while running and faked a shot for a real dunk. After knocking down Rudiger, he passed the ball to his usual left foot and caught up with Thiago Silva. Completed a low kick before covering the position.

The football, which is close to the ground, quickly moves towards the lower right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Mendy got off the ground a little slower and was out of reach.

3:0
Arsenal lead by three goals.

Fans around the world who are paying attention to the 2020-2021 Champions League final know that Chelsea will not have any hope.

The only suspense is how much the game will be lost...

Of course, this loss depends on Chelsea's attitude.

If they accept the reality of losing by three goals and wait for the end of the game, Arsenal led by Martin will really cooperate to consume the remaining game time.

If you insist on stepping up your offense to save face, then... I'm sorry.

Arsenal will use the ultimate counterattack to further expand the score!
Chelsea players seemed to have accepted the reality of a three-goal defeat and did not try to narrow the gap when the game restarted.

Arsenal, led by Martin, seemed very satisfied with Chelsea's attitude of accepting reality. The remaining game time was mainly to control the rhythm and consume the game time reasonably.

"Beep~Beep~Bi~~"

After three minutes of stoppage time in the second half, the referee Laos blew two short and one long whistles to end the game.

"competition is over!"

"competition is over!!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei said impassionedly: "Arsenal, which has completed five consecutive Champions League titles, defeated Chelsea 3-0 at the Dragon Stadium and achieved an unprecedented six consecutive Champions League titles! In other words... they surpassed what Real Madrid created that year. Five consecutive miracles! Created a record for Arsenal!”

The on-site director gave Martin a long close-up shot.

Arsenal's achievement is entirely due to Martin.

The commentators in the live commentary box/remote live broadcast room were full of praise for Martin's performance and gushed.

Head coach Arteta comforted Tuchel a little before entering the stadium and celebrating the victory with the players on the field.

Arsene Wenger, the legendary Arsenal coach in the VIP seat, was smiling, as if he was remembering everything that happened at Hannover Airport six years ago.

Arsenal's dynasty was created by Martin, but... he wrote the prologue.

However, his excitement soon subsided. As the legendary head coach of Arsenal, he knows a lot of inside information that the outside world does not know.

This game was the last game Martin played for Arsenal.

In six years, he played 398 games in all competitions, scored 427 goals, 362 assists, and won 39 official championship trophies!
