Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Chapter 281: New heights in career (Wish you all a National Day holiday (page 12)

"Game over! Game over!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei saw the live broadcast showing the referee Cakir blowing two short and one long final whistles. He shouted with excitement: "The visiting team Arsenal made a great contribution at Calderon with the passing and shooting of Chinese player Martin." Defeated Atletico Madrid 2:1 on the pitch!"

Immediately, a close-up shot was given to Martin, who performed extremely well.

Next, the missing Atletico Madrid players appeared on the broadcast screen.

Especially Griezmann, who missed a crucial penalty kick. He put his head in his hands and his annoyance was clearly displayed.

The Arsenal players who were victorious as a guest were very excited and hugged each other, obviously thinking that victory in this game might lead to the Champions League final!

"aoaoaooooooo——"

The Arsenal fans who traveled with the team were particularly excited, shouting at the top of their lungs, almost crazy shouts for the team to win the game.

Head coach Simeone shook his head in frustration. He thought it was an excellent opportunity to equalize the score, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

But as the soul of the team, he must magnify the situation, politely complete the handshake with the Arsenal coach and then walk into the stadium to comfort the sad players.

After all, a knockout round is a two-leg affair.

Losing at home in the first round can only mean that the probability of promotion is reduced, but it does not make the probability zero.

Besides, Arsenal can win away games, so does going to the away game in the second round also mean that we have a chance to win the game?

Football matches are full of uncertainty, what if the overall performance is better?

Thinking of this, Simeone felt much better and had more plans to appease the players.

After Martin celebrated the victory with his teammates, he took the initiative to walk towards the former Spanish golden boy, Fernando Torres, who was known as the winner in life.

Now Martin set a Premier League transfer fee record last summer and has become a well-known player in the world of football. After more than half a season of super performance, he can be said to be a top star.

Although Torres, the winner in life, was not happy about losing, the activity of exchanging jerseys still had to be carried out.

Martin could tell that Torres was in a bad mood and didn't say much. He said a few words of blessing and returned to his team to celebrate the hard-won away victory.

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

“Last August, countless media mocked that Arsenal’s offer of 8500 million euros + 1500 million in floating clauses would become the biggest joke in world football. The season was almost over. Arsenal first won the long-lost league championship and won the first place in the Champions League semi-finals. In the away game, he almost single-handedly helped Arsenal defeat Atletico Madrid. The 19-year-old Martin will definitely surpass Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi!"

天空电视台解说员安迪·格雷激情澎湃的解说：“太强了！联赛打进26球助攻36次，欧冠7球8助攻，超高的直接参与进球效率！试问19岁的莱奥·梅西和克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多做到过吗？没有！”

CC5 commentator He Wei, who has not yet cut off the live signal, also commented: "Almost relying on his strong personal ability to lead Arsenal to defeat the opponent, if Arsenal this season wins the championship in various competitions under the leadership of Martin, Champion, his career will reach a new height!"

"The European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer at the end of the year..."

Guest commentator Xu Yang blurted out.

The Dragon Kingdom fans watching the live game were unwilling to turn off the TV and go to sleep. They couldn't help but yearn for it while listening to Xu Yang's comments.

If Martin really leads Arsenal to win championships in various competitions this season, it is really possible to challenge Messi and Ronaldo's dominance of the World Footballer and European Golden Boy Awards!

The Arsenal players' celebration at the Calderon Stadium did not last long. They went to the visiting team's fan gathering area to thank their own fans for their full support and then returned to the visiting team's dressing room to prepare for the flight from Madrid to London tomorrow morning.

The Champions League semi-finals are two-leg knockout rounds. Defeating Atletico Madrid in the first leg as a guest only increases the probability of advancement but does not guarantee advancement.

The league has been won in advance, so there is no need to invest too much energy. The FA Cup final will be held after the league is over, which means that Wenger's team can completely focus on the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals!

Of course, in order to ensure the condition of the main players, they will not rotate all the players. Instead, some players with weaker physical conditions will be rested to prepare for the Champions League semi-finals in the middle of next week.

In a regular press conference after the game, Simeone, who was interviewed by the media, took the initiative to take responsibility for the loss in accordance with most international practices and expressed his full confidence that the players would complete the reversal in the second round.

The British media is not used to Simeone and makes all kinds of cynicism.

Simeone is not one to take offense either. He immediately responded to the Premier League team's ultra-low winning rate against La Liga teams in the Champions League, implying that Arsenal's win as a guest was an accident.

A reporter from The Times hit the nail on the head: "Luck is also a manifestation of strength. Don't forget that you can't grasp the penalty kick given to you. What reason is there to turn defeat into victory at the Emirates Stadium?"

There was a burst of laughter at the press conference.

Simeone, who was ashen-faced, was unhappy because of the loss. In order to avoid an emotional explosion and a gaffe, he directly announced the end of the post-match press conference.

Looking at Simeone walking away, a group of reporters said: "..."

Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger, who attended the regular press conference after the game, remained low-key, claiming that defeating Atletico Madrid as a guest in the first round did not mean anything. Defending the victory at home was the key to advancement.

The Spanish media were speechless about this, they were as steady as an old dog!

At noon the next day, Arsenal players arrived at London Heathrow Airport by flight. A large number of die-hard Arsenal fans came to the international arrival gate in advance to greet them, and their tacit and loud singing swept the entire airport.

If it hadn't affected the normal operation of the airport, the Arsenal players who had returned triumphantly planned to satisfy fans' wishes for photos and autographs.

It is worth mentioning that the Arsenal players who returned to London need to train normally except for those who have not played. The starting players who participated in the game have two days off and the substitutes have one day off. Then they will prepare for the 36th round of the league against Norwich at home on Sunday. .

With one game in hand, 29 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss totaled 91 points, only four points away from the 2004 points set by Chelsea in 2005-95. The record was just around the corner, and Arsenal players were eager to try.

Head coach Wenger is relatively clear-headed and knows that he cannot focus too much on creating his own record at this time.

His team does not have a deep bench. Once an important player is injured, it may cause the team to collapse in the Champions League and FA Cup finals.

But there is also a voice in my heart that reminds me repeatedly.

Leave your own legend in the Premier League before retiring...

Therefore, Wenger, who originally planned to take a rest, faced Martin's request and went smoothly.

"Remember, don't get hurt."

Wenger looked at Martin with doting eyes and warned.

"Professor, don't worry. I'm not bragging. No one can hurt me this year."

Martin held his head high and beat his chest.

"You said I wasn't bragging..."

Wenger gave Martin a meaningful look, feeling a little funny in his heart, but smiled and said: "In short, good health always comes first."
