Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Arsenal defeated Liverpool 3-0 at home, giving them a head start in the two-leg EFL Cup semi-finals.

Mourinho, the head coach of Manchester United, another favorite to advance to the EFL Cup final, watched the entire game with a frown on his face. He obviously didn't know how to deal with Martin if the two teams met in the final.

After playing the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals, Arsenal did not have a holiday and went straight into intensive preparations.

Before the start of the second round, there are two normal league games and one make-up game.

Against Swansea, Everton and Burnley respectively.

The strength is not strong.

But time is very tight, three games in nine days.

The result was fantastic for Arsenal fans, winning three games in a row.

A total of 11 goals were scored and only two goals were conceded.

Martin directly contributed 5 goals and 2 assists.

With three consecutive victories, Arsenal's unbeaten league record across seasons has reached 57 games, and they are only one game away from AC Milan's 58-game unbeaten streak across seasons.

According to the schedule, the opponent with AC Milan's unbeaten record is facing Watford at home, and there is a high probability that they will win.

The important thing is the next road trip to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea.

Chelsea under the leadership of Conte this season are not easy to mess with. After 22 rounds of league games, Chelsea, which has played one game more, ranks second in the league with 18 wins, 4 losses and 54 points, only better than Arsenal, which remains unbeaten with one game less. Five points less.

Once Chelsea wins the game at home, it will not only end Arsenal's unbeaten record, but also reduce the point difference between the two sides to two points.

Halfway through the league, a two-point lead is not enough.

At that time, it’s more of a competition to see who has the strongest mental endurance.

Arsenal, who have won consecutive league games, remain fully focused and focus their preparations on the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals.

However, the three-goal victory in the first round set the tone for promotion. However, considering that Liverpool is born with a reversal gene, Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger's preparations before the game mainly focused on the players' mentality, and warned not to take it lightly.

The 2004-2005 Champions League final is the best calling card for Liverpool people to never give up.

Captain Martin strongly agrees with coach Arsene Wenger's approach, and also has a positive impact on his teammates through his dedicated training.

The first game of the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals in the 2016-2017 season kicked off at Anfield.

Although Liverpool defeated Arsenal with three goals in the first round at the Emirates Stadium, they still sent out all their main players in the second round at home to fight for a possible reversal.

"aoaoaoaooooo——"

From the first second in the packed Anfield, there was overwhelming and huge cheers, one wave after another.

Klopp, who was standing in the technical area commanded by the home team coach, frowned and was obviously nervous about whether the team could advance to the EFL Cup final.

Arsenal has not lost in an official game since Martin joined. He really doesn't know whether it was a mistake to make a desperate decision to return to home in this campaign.

Arsenal this season is much stronger than last season, so they can only pin their hopes on the opponent's carelessness.

Facts have proved that Arsenal, who sent out the vast majority of their main players, had a very correct attitude in the game, and their back-and-forth maneuvers under Martin's deliberate control affected Liverpool's unstable defensive system.

Arsenal, who were leading by a big score, did not play in a hurry, which was tantamount to a conspiracy.

The result of the high-position defense being unable to intercept the ball is that the defense will be empty and Arsenal will counterattack.

Maybe he lacked touch once or twice, but who knows if he will concede the ball the third time?

Considering this possibility, players on the defensive end choose to focus on defense.

For defensive players, the priority is always defense.

Don’t ask for merit, but ask for no faults!

The players in the front and backcourt are not unified in their thinking, and the direct result is that the threat is significantly reduced.

In order to save energy as much as possible, Arsenal controls the ball after getting it. Unless there is a particularly good counterattack opportunity, it is all about controlling the rhythm of the game.

Klopp was very hesitant and didn't know whether he should continue to fight.

Ranked 4th in the league, only two points and four points higher than the Manchester City duo.

Chelsea will face the challenge at home in a few days. If there is too much consumption in this hopeless EFL Cup semi-final, it will inevitably have an impact on the league.

It was only twenty minutes into the game, but Klopp still felt a little unwilling.

Until the 27th minute, Martin received a pass from Cavani at the front of the left penalty area, flashed and moved, cut into the left rib of the penalty area, raised his right foot and made a fake shot, and then volleyed with his left foot from the front of the left small penalty area. Kicked the ball into the near corner of the goal to help Arsenal take the lead on the road.

Leshi sports commentator Zhan Jun said impassionedly: "This ball is really beautiful! Martin was like no one else, and showed his super dribbling ability and shooting ability to the fullest. Arsenal was a guest 1:0 Leading! The total score is 4:0!"

Liverpool fell behind 0:1 at home and were four goals behind in the total score. Klopp also realized that he could not continue to gamble.

To come back and advance, scoring four goals in a row without conceding is not enough.

Arsenal got a valuable away goal. Liverpool, who had no away goals, had to score five goals in a row without conceding a goal.

After not losing for a year and a half, how could they turn around when they were leading by a big score?

As the team's head coach, he must consider more issues.

Compared with the EFL Cup, which is close to being eliminated, it should be timely to turn around and focus on the league.

Klopp knows that the patience of the top management is also limited. If he fails to qualify for the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, then he will have to find another job.

In fact, Klopp does not need to remind him in the next game, and the players also know what to do tacitly.

Instead of fighting for a future that is completely unseen, it is better to use our strength to compete for the top four in the league.

When masters compete with each other, they can often detect what the other person is thinking through their feelings.

The offensive system led by Martin was very suitable for Liverpool's surrender. The two sides played in a tacit understanding. Although they were offensive and defensive, there were basically no shots that actually threatened the opponent's goal.

Before the start of the second half, both teams substituted their core players to prepare for the rest of the league.

Until the end of the game, the score displayed on the scoreboard did not change.

最终，阿森纳凭借队长马丁的一锤定音在安菲尔德球场1：0击败主队利物浦，以总比分4：0率先晋级2016-2017赛季英联杯决赛。

The next night, the second leg of another EFL Cup semi-final ended.

After playing in the EFL Cup semi-finals, Arsenal ushered in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
