Chapter 322: A big win in the first round, dominating the rankings again!
"Edinson! Head the ball back!"

"That is……"

"Martin!!"

"Heading relay!"

"In! Hat trick!"

"Arsenal exceeds the score again! 3:2!!"

……

Martin, who scored the goal, did not celebrate alone. He pointed to Cavani and his nearby teammates who had hit the ball behind the header, and came together to celebrate this goal that once again exceeded the score.

The Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium were as excited as children, dancing and dancing.

After a brief absence, the Liverpool fans quickly recovered and turned to encourage the players.

They believe that if their team can equalize the score twice, it will definitely equalize three times, and it is even possible to go ahead.

Liverpool has a natural reversal gene!

Emre Can, who was standing in the substitution technical area, turned to Klopp and asked: "Boss, do I still play?"

"on!"

After coming back to his senses, Klopp nodded firmly: "It's better to replace Adam. If we want to maintain a tie and win, solving the midfield defense is the first issue."

"OK~"

Before the game restarted, Liverpool took the lead in making substitutions.

Emre Can replaced Lallana, the goalscorer.

Some Dragon Country fans were a little surprised. In their view, Liverpool, which was lagging behind, should reduce defensive players and increase offensive players.

Central 5 commentator He Wei saw Klopp's intention to adjust: "Arsenal's midfield is too strong. It is difficult for the three midfielders composed of Henderson, Wijnaldum and Lallana to defend effectively. Use defensive attributes to be more effective." The strong Emre Can replaced Lallana, and Klopp probably wanted to take back the initiative first."

It's just that Emre Can's appearance didn't have much effect. First of all, the Arsenal midfielder led by Martin is very tough, and can break through Liverpool's central defense through quick transitions from defense to offense.

The only change is that the defensive pressure is not as great as before.

After all, Lallana is an attacking midfielder and does not help much defensively.

Central midfielder Emre Can has relatively strong defensive ability and a large body. He is like blocking a wall in the middle.

2 minutes later, Arsenal also made adjustments.

Gnabry replaced Walcott to maintain the defensive pressure on Moreno on the right, while inhibiting Coutinho's involvement in the attack.

This adjustment can be said to have an immediate effect. Sanchez is not in particularly good condition and has hardly made any breakthroughs. Arsenal's three-goal lead is entirely due to Martin's outstanding performance. The young Gnabry only has one task.

blasting!

After receiving Xhaka's forward pass, Martin stopped and passed, got rid of Emre Can, and directly distributed the ball to Gnabry, who was attacking the right rib.

The former Gnabry was supposed to leave the team this summer, but his outstanding performance at the end of last season was recognized by Wenger's coaching staff, and his performance in the summer warm-up match was remarkable. It was planned to give him more in the new season. Chance.

The 21-year-old Gnabry received the pass from Martin with great enthusiasm.

Directly using his superb foot skills to test the defensive concentration of Moreno and Coutinho who was covering the defense.

Several consecutive changes of rhythm did not change the breakthrough angle, and Gnabry was not annoyed. Instead, he followed the game tactics formulated before the game and gave the ball to Martin, who was bound to respond.

Emre Can wanted to go around and steal the ball, but Martin stepped forward with his left foot and directly blocked the person. Then he used the arch of his right foot to pass the rolling football directly to the space behind Klavan and Moreno.

Bellerin, who was running at high speed along the right road, overtook on the outside. Realizing that the situation was not good, Coutinho tried to trip him with his foot, but unexpectedly kicked a ball of air.

"Bellerin!"

Bellerin, who was running at high speed, also handled the ball directly without stopping. He used the arch of his right foot to quickly bring the ball to the center.

Low pass!
Cavani, who was in a favorable position, blocked Lovren behind him and hit with his feet in front.

Lovren's down block hit nothing.

Goalkeeper Mignolet had no idea how to hit the goal from such close range.

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaa——"

The football hit the right side of the net, and the Emirates Stadium instantly resounded with the joyful sounds of Arsenal fans' excited goals.

After scoring the goal, Cavani stood up from the ground with both hands, spread his arms, and celebrated his first goal in the Premier League by sliding on his knees.

In a fanatical atmosphere, Arsenal players gathered together to celebrate the joy of expanding the score.

Liverpool had equalized the score twice before, and a 4:2 lead is definitely more secure than a 3:2 lead.

Klopp, who was standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, was stunned. He originally wanted to tangle with Arsenal by strengthening the defense in the middle, and then find a way to equalize the score. Unexpectedly, the offensive system led by Martin directly widened the point difference.

He couldn't help but look at Martin.

The essence of this ball is that his kick penetrated the entire defense line and found Bellerin, who was overtaking from the outside at high speed.

The roles of Bellerin and Cavani are not that important in Klopp's eyes.

However, the score was already behind and his team had no way out.

If only one goal is behind, stabilizing the situation will most likely equalize the score.

Being two goals behind requires not only a solid defense, but also an efficient attack on the offensive end.

Origi, who has not yet shown his 'Koi' characteristics, replaced Wijnaldum, whose mobility has declined.

While the formation remains unchanged, Coutinho is moved from the left wing to the attacking midfielder position, Mane changes from the right to the left, and Origi goes to the right.

Klopp's reason for doing this is simple. While releasing Coutinho, he ensures that the left winger can put huge pressure on Arsenal's right defense.

Mane is fast and can cut inside.

However, the actual combat was slightly lacking, and it did not develop exactly as Klopp thought.

Arsenal still uses their home court advantage to dominate the game. The division of labor between Martin and Xhaka is becoming increasingly clear. Kanter can also help deliver the ball when the two are closely guarded, thereby completing a rapid shift in the direction of attack.

Even though Liverpool players are known for their physical fitness, facing more than 70 minutes of high-intensity running is still a bit difficult.

The key is that increasing the running coverage cannot complete the interception, causing the players' enthusiasm to decrease as time passes and physical fitness declines.

Klopp's team starts with high-position defense. How can we not see the decline in player movement?
But he was also a professional player. Nowadays, football matches have high-tech equipment that can accurately capture the hot spots of player activities. At the 75th minute of the game, the players, excluding goalkeeper Mignolet, ran more than [-] meters.

In other words, his players gave it their all.

As a head coach who is good at inciting, Klopp knows what to say at this time to inspire the players' fighting spirit.

Self-breakthrough is often at the most difficult moment.

As long as the point difference is narrowed, the extra motivation to equalize the score will come!
The Liverpool players on the field seemed to be full of energy, and their running coverage increased.

Arsenal captain Martin keenly noticed the changes in his opponent, and he knew what to do in the next game.

Stabilize the rhythm first, and when the enthusiasm of the Liverpool players drops, it will be the moment to kill the game!

"I... Fake!"

Klopp felt a little annoyed when he saw Martin adjust his offensive thinking to focus on control and involve his own defense.

He knows that the duration of the chicken blood is limited, and what really brings about change is the goal.

Once time goes by without a goal, there is a possibility that the goal will continue to be conceded.

At that point, there is real powerlessness.

He doesn't want to lose in the first league game of the new season!
"aoaoaoooooooo——" The Arsenal fans at the Emirates Stadium were in a very good mood, and their loud cheers were like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.

When the time came to the 83rd minute, Arsenal still led 4:2.

The enthusiasm of Liverpool players has been affected to a certain extent. Although it is not obvious yet, Klopp knows that the players' confidence in the game has dropped to a relatively low stage.

For him, the only good news is that the team gets rid of the dilemma of continuous defense and gets the opportunity to attack in position.

Coutinho works very hard and is still looking for long-range shooting opportunities.

After many consecutive passes, Mane, who received the ball from Firmino, made a gesture and suddenly made a comeback.

Cut inside!

Facing Kanter's defense and Xhaka in the center, Mane pushed the ball outward with the outside instep of his right foot, and the football rolled towards the top of the arc in the penalty area.

Coutinho's eyes lit up, he adjusted the ball to his dominant right foot, looked up at goalkeeper Cech's position, and then swung his right foot.

But at this moment, a leg wrapped in red socks took the lead and poked the ball out.

Out of body's conditioned reflex, Coutinho's rounded right foot paused.

"Martin!!"

With a shout from Sky TV commentator Andy Gray, Martin, who poked the ball away, suddenly stopped and turned around.

Van Dijk, who had previously planned to step forward to block the long shot, passed the rolling football towards Martin's forward path.

Henderson pounced decisively, and Martin, who had started to speed up, suddenly braked on the spot and moved the football sideways to the right with the outside of his right foot, just like a car turning right at a right angle.

Before Emre Can could come around the corner, Martin raised his right foot.

The rising football was passed from the defensive center of the backcourt to the offensive right rib.

That is, there is space behind Liverpool left back Moreno and left center back Klavan.

"Oops!"

Klopp suddenly realized something.

In order to narrow the point difference and reduce the distance between the three lines, the team's back line passed the center line, and the full backs participated in the attack to a large extent.

The long pass sent by Martin is...

“—Serge Gnabry!”

BBC Sports commentator Lineker's voice rose an octave when he saw No. 11 appearing on the broadcast screen.

Gnabry, who came on as a substitute, was very fast, passing through the center line at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Behind him is the left center back Klavan who is chasing madly.

But the speed of the two is not at the same level at all, and one is full of physical fitness, and the other played for more than 80 minutes.

The distance between the two has not only not narrowed, but is still widening...

Gnabry, who was running at full speed, approached Martin at high speed and sent a long pass with a certain amount of advance. The Arsenal fans in the audience went crazy again and let out huge cheers.

In such a fanatical home atmosphere, Gnabry was more motivated, with wind at his feet, and his speed was even half a minute faster.

He stopped Martin's well-timed long pass without slowing down, and it took him less than two seconds to bring the ball to the top of the arc in the penalty area.

Klopp, who was standing in the technical area commanded by the visiting team coach, felt a little desperate, but deep down he still held a trace of luck, hoping that Mignolet would have a divine help or that the young Gnabry would kick the ball away.

However, Gnabry was very calm when facing Mignolet. He brought the ball to the front of the penalty area in order to better control the ball.

Facing Mignolet who attacks from the small penalty area, he chooses a very practical fake shot and a real dunk, and then hits the empty goal after passing...

"Goooooooooooooal—"

Sky TV commentator Andy Grayra has a long voice.

Gnabry was extremely excited after scoring his first goal of the season. He turned around, opened his arms, and rushed towards Martin who sent a wonderful long pass to celebrate the goal that completely killed the game.

"Thank you."

Gnabry hugged the oncoming Martin excitedly.

Martin smiled and patted Gnabry on the head: "You just handled it well, come on! I believe you will succeed at Arsenal."

"must."

Arsenal players huddled together, and head coach Arsene Wenger hugged his assistants in high spirits.

5:2, it can be said that it killed the game.

In addition, there are at most 10 minutes of injury time, it is a home game, and Martin is also on the court, so there will be no possibility of conceding three goals in a row, which is only theoretically possible.

as predicted!

After the Arsenal players celebrated the goal, Martin reminded his teammates again that they must pay close attention and maintain the lead until the end of the game.

The facial expressions of the Liverpool players on the field were exactly the same as those of Klopp and the expedition troops in the audience. They all felt very powerless and desperate.

The on-site director gave a wonderful replay. Central 5 commentator He Wei said impassionedly: "This... is Martin! He steals the ball and makes a long pass to counterattack in one go! If nothing else, Arsenal will have a good start at home!"

Gnabry's goal was the last goal of the game.

In the end, with Martin's hat trick + assists + key through balls, Arsenal defeated Liverpool 5:2 at home and got a good start in the 2016-2017 Premier League season.

"Beep~beep~beep~~"

"The game is over! The game is over!"

The referee Oliver blew the whistle for the end of the game, and a close-up shot was taken of Martin. Central 5 commentator He Wei shouted passionately: "There is no doubt that Martin, who shot three times and passed one, was the biggest contributor to Arsenal's home victory over Liverpool." ! Undisputed best of the match!"

In the regular press conference after the game, Liverpool head coach Klopp took the responsibility of losing the game and later said that the season is still very long, and losing to defending champion Arsenal as a guest was an acceptable result for the team.

Finally, he highlighted that the team did not lose completely to Arsenal, but to Martin.

The youngest captain of Arsenal and even the Premier League who has made outstanding contributions to home games.

The Dragon Country media and fans liked Klopp's response very much, because it also directly illustrates Martin's strength!

In the opinion of some media, Klopp wanted to reverse the situation at the press conference and find an excuse to lose.

……

At nine o'clock in the evening that day, the last league game of the first round ended.

London Derby.

Chelsea defeated West Ham United 2:1 at home.

After all ten games in the first round, defending champion Arsenal topped the list with a goal difference advantage over teams such as Manchester United.

Martin, who scored a hat trick, also ranked first in the scorer list.

In terms of assists, Martin ranks first with many players.

This weekend, there is only one player who is attracting much attention in world football.

That... is the new captain of the Gunners.

Caps + assists directly helped Arsenal defeat the powerful Liverpool at home!
After winning the game, head coach Arsene Wenger gave the team a day and a half off and will resume training on Tuesday afternoon to prepare for the second round of the league when they visit the King Power Stadium to challenge Leicester City.

As in the past, Martin chose to go to the Kearney training base during the team's holidays to review the past and learn the new in various abilities.

Ability grows too fast, and equal efforts must be made.
