Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Chapter 300: Seizing food from the tiger’s mouth and turning the tide (page 12)

After the Champions League theme song ended, the performers of the Champions League final quickly left the stage, and volunteers immediately cleaned up the scene layout in the stadium, showing it in its most original state and returning the venue to the game itself.

Immediately, the players from both sides of the final shook hands with each other and took a group photo with each other.

Finally, Arsenal captain Per Mertesacker and Real Madrid captain Ramos went to the referee Kashay's place for routine pre-match guessing.

Real Madrid won the right to pick the side and Arsenal automatically won the right to kick off.

At the end of the last ceremony before the game, the starting players from both teams gathered in a circle, shoulder to shoulder.

On the right half of the court are Arsenal players.

Martin replaced captain Per Mertesacker to instigate the team and said loudly: "The decisive battle is about to begin. Are you all ready?"

"Ready!"

The other players shouted in unison.

"Okay! Let's beat Real Madrid here!"

"Beat Real Madrid!"

The Real Madrid players on the left half of the court performed much calmer. Most of their players participated in the Champions League final at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon two years ago.

Only Navas, Pepe and Casemiro in the entire starting lineup have not appeared in the Champions League final.

But now Navas is at the peak of his career, Pepe has rich game experience and is in very good shape, and Casemiro has become the most trustworthy defensive player in Real Madrid's midfield.

Zidane's starting lineup is well-founded.

The players are full of confidence, and there are not so many fancy encouragements for each other before the game. Some just hope that the game will start soon.

Before the game started, the on-site director's switching camera scanned the players on the field and the packed auditorium, and naturally showed the core players of both sides at halftime of each station.

Ronaldo and Martin.

It is easy to see from the shiny hairstyles of the two that they were carefully taken care of before the game, perfectly presenting their handsome faces in front of fans around the world.

However, Ronaldo and Martin have different handsome styles. The mature Ronaldo is called "President".

Martin is a sunny and handsome guy. His normal smile makes people feel comfortable, but his slightly evil and evil smile can easily make female fans bump into each other.

Many non-Arsenal fans, including many, call Martin [Prince].

When the screen was shown to Martin, CCTV 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "We can see from Martin's smiling expression that he is very relaxed, which is very positive for the next Champions League final." Meaning, as the first player from Dragon Country football to start in the Champions League final, let us look forward to Martin's next performance..."

Later, the screen was shown to other stars, but they all flashed by, unlike the close-up screen that had been pushed to the face for a long time and stayed on the faces of Ronaldo and Martin.

……

"Beep~"

Hungarian referee Kaushoy blew the whistle.

"aoaoaooaooooo——"

Overwhelming cheers rang out over the Meazza Stadium, and fans throughout the stadium were creating a fanatical atmosphere for the opening of the Champions League final.

At the same time, Giroud, who had his right foot on the football, passed the ball through Sanchez and was immediately passed to Martin's feet.

"Dragon Country TV, Dragon Country TV, is now broadcasting for you the live broadcast of the 2015-2016 UEFA Champions League final between Arsenal and Real Madrid..."

Following the commentary lines blurted out by Central 5 commentator He Wei, Martin, who received the football, ignored Benzema and Bell who rushed towards him, faced the right side, and passed the ball to Bellerin at the intersection of the center line and the right sideline.

As the youngest starter in this game and Arsenal's number one star, he has attracted worldwide attention.

Benzema thought Martin was going to pass the ball, so he turned a corner and stretched out his foot to intercept.

Martin raised his right foot to fake the button.

Bell, who started as a full-back, kept an eye out and poked the toe of his left foot in the direction of Martin's spike.

As soon as Bell raised his foot, he saw Martin immediately stretched out his left foot to step on the moving football, then pulled it back, and then his view was blocked by the opponent's back.

"ooooo——"

The fans in the audience and the fans in front of the TV could see clearly that Martin used his left foot on the football as an axis and pressed against Bell's body to complete a 90-degree clockwise turn, so the fans in the audience let out a burst of exclamation.

Zidane, who was standing in the visiting team coach's technical area, was stunned. Isn't this... his signature move?

"Slalom Marseille!"

He Wei, who was still announcing the starting players of both sides to fans watching the live game, changed the subject with unabated enthusiasm: "Martin passed Benzema and Bale in succession."

Martin, who passed Bell, did not continue dribbling. He handed the ball to Sanchez, who had been waiting for a long time on the left.

The picture then showed a stunned Zidane.

What I want to express is already very obvious.

Playing a big sword in front of Guan Gong?

When Arsenal fans saw Martin "showing off" in front of Zidane, they were all in high spirits and their shouts were deafening.

The first attack led by Martin was relatively low-key, and not many people participated in the attack.

With Martin moving forward, Ramsey moved back and partnered with Coquelin as a double midfielder, allowing Martin, Sanchez, Giroud and Gnabry to serve as an offensive quartet.

The attitude of Real Madrid players on the defensive end is still very good. Except for Ronaldo, who has the privilege and does not need to return to defense, all other nine players returned to half-court defense.

The ceremonial midfielder who has become famous in later generations has not won three consecutive Champions League titles, and the combination is not as tacit as it was later. However, currently each performs its own duties and plays a good role in the center.

Casemiro is an extremely important barrier in the middle. He is afraid of Martin's long shot and does not dare to step forward easily.

The defense only needs to rely on Modric and the pretentious Kroos.

Passing the ball to the left to Sanchez, forcing Modric to leave the defensive zone and assist Carvajal in marking Sanchez.

Sanchez, who caught the ball, quickly handed the ball back to Martin. Bell subconsciously stretched his foot and failed to intercept the football. Modric had to quickly move to the middle to help Casemiro mark Martin.

Unexpectedly, Martin directly pushed the football passed by Sanchez to the right and accelerated it. Cross's defensive ability in the middle was completely negligible, and his foot did not touch anything.

Casemiro's explosive power was at a disadvantage again. He used his flesh and blood to block the ball and was half a beat too late. He could only watch helplessly as Martin shot angrily about thirty meters away from the goal.

The football was kicked out with great force, like a cannonball. The football flew into the air without any rotation. The five-star Champions League logo was clearly visible under the camera, and it flew towards the upper left corner of the goal with an unstoppable momentum.

Navas is worthy of being a goalkeeper who often uses tennis balls for training. His nerve reaction speed is extremely fast. His body moves sideways as his footsteps move to the right. His whole body is very stretched in mid-air. He uses the open palm of his left hand to push the heavy football towards Push up.

The football changed its trajectory and missed the crossbar.

"Excellent cum! Beautiful thrust!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at the broadcast and responded to Martin, saying impassionedly: "Martin is in really good condition. He took advantage of a long shot to knock the ball out of the game less than a minute into the game. It seems... Real Madrid should be more careful."
