Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Wenger received the news that Martin would return to London today on the day of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. He was ecstatic, but did not show it.

They lost 1:5 as a guest in the first round. In the second round at home, they had to defeat Barcelona 4:0 without conceding a goal in order to advance to the semifinals with the advantage of more away goals.

The instant news received by Barcelona is definitely not comparable to its own. It is estimated that the news there is that Martin is still in Porto and has no plan to return to London to compete.

What he has to do now is to bluff and show as much as possible that Martin will definitely participate in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

The smart Enrique will inevitably think that Martin will not return to London to compete, so his tactics will tend to be without Martin.

When Martin secretly returns to London and appears in the starting lineup for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, it will definitely disrupt Barcelona's tactics.

Time came to the afternoon, and Barcelona coach Enrique was still waiting for immediate news from the club.

When I found out that Martin was still at home in Porto and hadn't gone out, I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Martin has separated from his adoptive mother Clara Anna.

He had already used the door-to-door housekeeping to complete the trick and headed to the airport to catch the flight to London at p.m.

Clara Anna and her best friend Emily Sarah took a flight to London at pm later, and Martin could just drive to pick him up after playing the game.

The game started at : pm, and the Barcelona team planned to take the bus from their hotel to the Emirates Stadium at pm.

Enrique once again received feedback from club staff in Porto. He has basically determined that Martin will not appear in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, so he is confident that the team will advance to the Champions League semi-finals.

Especially when media reporters filmed Arsenal taking a bus and did not see Martin.

Little did they know, Martin had already 'secretly' sneaked into the home team's dressing room at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal fans naturally don't know this, and they behave pessimistically on social platforms.

Arsenal without Martin and Arsenal with Martin are completely two teams.

Barcelona fans are very excited. In their view, it is % impossible for Arsenal to complete the reversal at home without Martin.

However, the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium was fanatical. The more than Arsenal fans who poured into the stadium were full of passion and unleashed all their enthusiasm to cheer for the home team who was seeking a comeback.

"aoaoaooaooooooo——"

The overwhelming shouts came one after another.

When the Arsenal players entered the stadium to warm up, the outburst became even more violent.

When Enrique received Arsenal's starting lineup, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Martin's name is on the list!

Soon, he remembered that the news reported by the staff was absolutely true, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Old senior Arsène seems to be too involved in the drama. Want to follow me and try this trick to fake the real thing?"

Enrique knew that a certain starting player announced before the game would not necessarily play.

According to relevant rules, removing a starting player is equivalent to using up one substitution quota, so Arsenal will only have two substitution quotas left in the next game.

In addition, he also learned through his assistant Unsue that the Arsenal players who were warming up all had solemn faces, not at all the relaxed and indifferent style that Martin used to have.

All signs indicate that Wenger is bluffing!

When Arsenal fans on social media saw Martin's name appearing in the starting lineup, they all raised their arms and shouted excitedly, shouting that a big reversal at home would definitely be completed!

Within a few minutes, the Catalan media "World Sports" analyzed: As far as I know, Martin is still far away in Porto, and there is no Martin on the Arsenal bus. How could he appear at the Emirates Stadium? Is it possible to come in early? What kind of international joke are you kidding? Then there is only one truth, Arsene Wenger wants to confuse Barcelona in this way!

The analysis was well-founded and was quickly recognized by a large number of media and fans.

Martin appears in Arsenal's starting lineup just to set off smoke bombs!

The originally ecstatic Arsenal fans became hesitant and worried about the next game.

The warm-up time for the players from both sides lasted about forty minutes, and then they returned to their respective locker rooms through the player tunnel to prepare for the second leg of the 2016-2017 Champions League quarter-finals that will kick off soon.

In the home team's locker room, Martin has completed the warm-up through conventional warm-up methods, but it is just not as complete as outdoors.

The Arsenal players who returned to the locker room looked at Martin, who had a slicked-back hairdo, and seemed to have lost the dignity he showed during the warm-up. They were all confident about the next game!

Martin returned, and the players on the team regained their confidence and high morale.

Head coach Wenger knows that this...is the role of a spiritual leader!

Even if the total score is still 1:5 behind.

Although Martin did not participate in the pre-match training, the team's main tactical framework remained unchanged, with Martin as the core, and only minor adjustments were made to local tactics.

Here's what Wenger focused on before the game started.

The players listened very carefully.

They know that the games that will kick off soon will determine which team will advance to the semi-finals.

As the defending champion and dominating Europe, he must break the curse!

Can’t defend the Champions League title?

There is a record harvester, so what are you afraid of?

Not long after, the game preparation bell rang from the loudspeaker in the home and away team's locker room.

Captain Martin called his teammates to form a circle, stretched out his right hand, palm down, and the other team members stretched their hands upwards in turn.

At the end, Martin said provocatively: "Brothers, do you have the confidence to defeat Barcelona at our home court?"

"Have!"

"must have!"

The Arsenal players in the home team's locker room shouted in unison.

"Must win!"

"Must win!!!"

All the players matched up with Martin's passionate chants.

※※※※※

"Wait~"

The players from both sides of the game standing behind the referee Kuipers were holding the caddy and getting ready, and a voice came from behind.

There was nothing special about the Arsenal players.

But for the Barcelona players, their relaxed expressions instantly turned into shock.

Messi, the star player, even opened his mouth in an exaggerated manner, staring blankly at the familiar figure running to the front of the Arsenal queue.

The on-site director immediately switched the camera to show Martin receiving the captain's armband from Koscielny.

"Martin!!!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's voice suddenly rose an octave higher: "He's back! The King of Arsenal!! I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel it's entirely possible for Arsenal to complete a huge comeback at home!"

Henry, who served as the guest commentator, became excited: "Me too!"

"Martin is back!"
