Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

"oooooooo——"

De Gea made two consecutive saves in front of the goal, blocking Walcott's single-handed ball. The Arsenal fans screamed in the sky above the Emirates Stadium.

"The front court is picturesque, and De Gea is in the back court!"

Central 5 commentator He Weilang said loudly: "This sentence is indeed correct. Manchester United's frontcourt offense is like a magnificent world-famous painting, which can bring a devastating blow to the opponent's defense! But the quality of the backcourt defense It’s not satisfactory, you still have to look at De Gea at the critical moment!”

Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal let out a sigh of relief.

If the home team scores a lightning goal in the opening stage, the rest of the game will definitely be very difficult to play.

Let alone scoring points, it is difficult to escape unscathed.

So, Van Gaal came to the edge of the technical command area and roared at the players on the court to vent his strong dissatisfaction.

In his opinion, Arsenal's ability to launch such a threatening attack in a short period of time is caused by the lack of concentration of all members.

Depay, who made a mistake in passing the ball, scratched the back of his head and was very embarrassed.

Blind and Damian, who were already short on speed, looked at each other. They both tried their best to close the gap with Walcott, and could only watch helplessly as the opponent dribbled the ball towards De Gea.

There is simply no way to make up for the inherent disadvantage.

Fortunately, De Gea, who just renewed his contract with the club, performed bravely and kept a clean sheet.

Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger sat on the coaching bench, spreading his hands helplessly.

I can't grasp such an opportunity, so there's really nothing to say.

Therefore, he plans to talk to the management after this round of league to see if he can introduce another forward.

It is best to have it in place during the winter break.

Since Martin has been integrated into the team, he has definitely created a lot of opportunities.

But...the frontcourt players wasted a lot of times.

If there is an efficient forward, there is a high probability that this game will open in less than five minutes.

The next game will definitely be much easier.

Pity.

Sanchez ran towards the right corner of the attack to prepare for a corner kick, and the live broadcast restored the wonderful process.

"Martin's long pass is really accurate, which fully highlights Walcott's speed, but his final shot needs to be improved."

Central 5 commentator He Wei said regretfully: "If Arsenal takes the lead early, it will be much more difficult for Manchester United to score points away from home."

"It can only be said that Arsenal's forwards are too weak to seize opportunities."

Commentator Xu Yang said: "Martin's ability has kept Arsenal's performance lower limit, but to create the upper limit of performance, we must introduce a high-level forward, a top forward who can seize the opportunities created by Martin!"

At the same time, the Manchester United players who returned to the penalty area gave De Gea high-fives and thanked him for his heroic performance.

De Gea didn't bother to talk about unreliable defensive players, and directly changed the topic to being optimistic about the Arsenal players in the penalty area, encouraging them to stay focused when defending corner kicks.

Arsenal does not have many high points, but there are many players with header ability.

The key is that our side also has many high points, and defending corner kicks is somewhat unsettling.

Martin joined Arsenal and has scored two wonderful headers in various competitions. He is one of the most focused players in Manchester United's defensive set-piece system.

"aoaooaoooooo——"

The Arsenal players at the Emirates Stadium cheered the home team players on the field with huge chants.

After placing the ball, Sanchez stepped back far enough, raised his right hand high, and raised two fingers.

A very obvious tactical gesture.

The Manchester United defensive players in the penalty area couldn't help but become nervous, and used non-technical methods such as pulling the jersey and hugging to increase the success rate of defending corner kicks.

"Beep beep~"

Referee Anthony Taylor saw Blind and Damian hugging Martin tightly with his hands raised, and couldn't help but blow his whistle to signal that the corner kick should be avoided.

He ran into the penalty area, pointed his whistle in his hand, and warned Blind and other Manchester United defenders who were taking action.

The unspoken meaning is that if the defense does not restrain the injury in the next corner kick, he will not give a warning next time but directly call a point.

Blind and Damian, who were warned, made much smaller movements. Anthony Taylor nodded with satisfaction, looked towards the corner area, and blew the whistle to indicate that Sanchez could take a corner kick.

As for whether it will really be blown, it mainly depends on whether the Manchester United players restrain themselves.

As long as it doesn't go too far, he intends to turn a blind eye.

Sanchez took a corner kick from the right, and Martin in the middle of the penalty area was particularly closely guarded.

Before the game, Wenger had given instructions on the set-piece attack. Once Martin was too closely guarded, he would be decisively used as a bait to let other players in the penalty area compete for landing spots.

Mertesacker, who is 1 meters tall, is a very good set-piece receiver.

Despite Smalling's personal interference, Mertesacker still hit the ball from the back, and the angle was quite tricky, falling towards the upper left corner of the goal with an obvious parabola.

Ashley Young, who was guarding the inside of the left goal post, reacted very quickly and headed the ball away.

Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney, who was on the right side of the penalty area, received the header, twisted his waist and swung his abdomen, and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

Monreal, who was defending Manchester United's quick counterattack, passed the ball to the right rear. Cazorla, who received the ball, passed the ball directly to Ramsey who retreated to attack the right rib.

Manchester United defenders quickly pressed forward, shrinking the defensive space and causing Arsenal players to fall into an offside trap.

Ramsey, who received the ball, waited until Sanchez, who was running back along the right sideline, was not in an offside position before passing the ball.

Sanchez stepped on the ball with his right foot and paused. Ignoring Depay who was defending frontally, he used Ramsey's ribs to advance forward to take away Carrick's defensive opportunity. He raised his right foot and quickly passed the ball sideways to the right side of the penalty area. Cazorla before.

Bastian Schweinsteiger immediately made up the defense.

Rooney also consciously assisted in defense and planned to complete the left and right defense with 'Little Pig'.

Cazorla suddenly raised his right foot as if to catch the ball and let the ball pass.

"Martin!!"

CCTV 5 commentator He Wei looked at the broadcast and his voice rose an octave.

Halfway through the run, Rooney suddenly braked and quickly turned around to guard against Martin.

But, it's too late.

The football passed by Sanchez is close to the ground and matches Martin's movement points, saving unnecessary adjustments.

Martin has a broad field of vision and a strong ability to capture fighter opportunities. He keenly captured the perfect opportunity to break the deadlock!

About ten meters away from the top of the arc in the penalty area, he used the toes of his right foot to rub the bottom of the football, and without stopping the ball, he directly passed the ball to the right rib of the penalty area.

Sanchez, who had passed the ball before, quickly ran horizontally from the right sideline to the middle, and then slanted into the right rib of the penalty area at the moment Martin touched the ball.

Seeing Sanchez stand out from the entire defense, Smalling reflexively raised his right hand to signal that Sanchez was offside.

The assistant referee's side flag is always close to the torso and follows Sanchez's advance towards the baseline.

That means Sanchez...is not offside.
