Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Chapter 172 Epic extreme defense, the true defense against Messi alone (page 12)

"ale, ale, ale..."

Messi used his second direct free kick in a single game to help Barcelona take the lead, and the Tbilisi National Stadium turned into a sea of ​​red and blue joy.

After a short period of depression, Wolfsburg fans quickly regained their fighting spirit and shouted to the players on the field, hoping that they could regain their strength.

Martin, who pursed his lips, turned his eyes back from the celebrating Messi. His characteristic "calmness" showed great effect at this time.

He glanced at his teammates who were not in a good mood and clapped his hands vigorously: "It's not a big deal to be behind in the score. Just come back. Barcelona can do it, and we can do the same."

Martin's inflammatory tone immediately resonated with his teammates, who quickly adjusted their mentality.

Before the game, there was also a plan to fall behind.

From the perspective of losing goals, it has nothing to do with the overall performance. The main reason is that Messi's personal ability is too strong.

The two wonderful direct free kicks were both very shocking to the world, and any goalkeeper in world football would be powerless if left unchecked.

The game starts again.

Barcelona, ​​which has gone ahead in the score, has tasted the sweetness and plans to expand the score in one go.

Martin, who received the football, did not hand the ball to a nearby teammate when De Bruyne was closely guarded.

Because there are Barcelona players near the passing route, passing the ball is likely to cause the ball to change hands.

Therefore, Martin uses his excellent ball-handling skills to control the ball.

Faced with Barcelona's defensive players, he fully demonstrated his increasingly perfect closed-loop ball control skills.

360° turn around to protect the ball, fry balls, pull the ball in place, dial the ball, and smash the ball all at once.

Maintaining absolute control over the football within a radius of five square meters, leaving the Barcelona players unable to do anything.

Neymar, who had yet another unsuccessful attempt, was a little annoyed. He kicked down Martin, who had taken the ball away early, on the left side of the center arc.

"Beep~"

The referee Maziniak decisively blew his whistle to signal Neymar for a foul.

Since the retaliatory intention was obvious, a yellow card was shown.

It was this timely yellow card that deprived the Wolfsburg players of trying to find a place for Martin with a legitimate reason.

The live broadcast restored the entire process of Martin's possession of the ball being violated.

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun was refreshed and shouted: "I really can't believe that the transformed Martin will grow so fast. His ball-handling skills have reached the pinnacle. Every time he touches the ball, he is just right, so that Barcelona The player couldn't touch the ball at all, so Neymar must have fouled behind because he was so angry."

Wolfsburg sporting director Allofs, who was in the VIP seat, secretly let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Martin was fine after being pulled up by De Bruyne.

"This is worth 1 million euros!"

Hidden in the audience, Arsenal's chief scout Steve Rowley is increasingly confident about Martin's future at Arsenal, and he even has a strong premonition.

Martin's future achievements are definitely better than imagined!

I almost didn't stick to the ball when passing and receiving the ball before. I thought it was because my ball control skills were not good enough, but unexpectedly...it turned out to be unnecessary.

Facing the powerful Barcelona, ​​it is simply not enough for De Bruyne to hold the ball in the midfield and frontcourt.

Martin, who actively participated in the offensive organization, showed strong ball control ability and greatly shared Wolfsburg's ball pressure in the frontcourt.

Barcelona under Enrique continued the high-pressing tactics of the past, which resulted in Wolfsburg players with poor foot skills making mistakes under heavy pressure.

Martin took the initiative to increase the time he had the ball in order to bring confidence to his teammates.

The Wolfsburg players on the field were greatly encouraged when they saw Martin's calm performance in the face of Barcelona players' pressing.

Their personal technical ability at the feet is limited, so naturally they will not control the ball like Martin, but their confidence has been greatly encouraged, and they do not feel as much pressure in passing and receiving the ball as before.

Therefore, Wolfsburg's offense is becoming more and more threatening under Martin's deliberate control.

Barcelona head coach Enrique came from the coaching bench to the coaching technical area with a frown on his face.

Martin received the ball on the right side of the attack and passed Rakitic with a stop, and passed directly.

The football flying towards Barcelona's penalty area was like a rainbow across the sky, directly finding Dost in front of the small penalty area.

Fans watching the live broadcast of the game can clearly see Dost leaping high, looking back at the moon, and heading the ball towards the near end corner of the goal.

Ter Stegen once again performed a divine save. He flew sideways, his body stretched especially during the flight, and the fingertips of his left hand were fully opened to push the menacing football upward.

"oooo——"

With the exclamation that resounded throughout the entire stadium, the football deviated from its original trajectory and rubbed the outside of the right goal post out of the baseline.

"The top of the ball is beautiful and the shot is wonderful."

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun said impassionedly: "Ter Stegen once again had the help of a god and slapped away the cake that Martin fed to Dost's mouth. Barcelona still leads Wolfsburg 2:1!"

Dost, who missed an excellent opportunity to equalize the score, looked up to the sky and sighed in frustration.

If he had more power to head the ball and a more tricky angle, he would be the team's goal scorer.

What a pity!

Then, he gave Martin a thumbs-up, indicating that the pass was beautiful.

De Bruyne ran towards the corner kick on the right side of the attack, and the on-site director was still playing back. Martin, who was originally preventing Barcelona from quickly counterattacking, suddenly ran over.

Seeing this, De Bruyne did not hesitate and took a short tactical corner kick.

Neymar realized it was too late before he pounced.

De Bruyne's pass is very comfortable and close to the ground.

Martin didn't need to adjust. He directly raised his right foot and kicked the ball to the back of the penalty area with the inside of his foot.

Dost, who performed well, beat Pique at the back point to complete the header. At the penalty spot, Nardo, who was stuck in the position first, resisted Suarez and Rakitic, jumped high, and headed the ball towards The upper left corner of the goal.

Ter Stegen, who was in the middle of the goal, looked at the football going straight to the blind corner and realized that he could not complete the save at all, so he just stood there watching the ball and sighed.

"Bang~"

Just when the Barcelona fans were feeling desperate, a crisp and muffled sound came out spontaneously.

"Didn't score! Wolfsburg is so unlucky! Nardo's header hit the junction of the goal post and the crossbar!"

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun's voice was raised an octave. He saw Pique kicking the ball out of the sideline with his quick eyes and feet. He was very regretful: "What a pity!"

Martin, who ran out of bounds, did not waste time regretting it. He quickly ran out of bounds and asked the ball boy for a football.

He took two steps forward and threw the football tightly behind his head into the penalty area.

Except for Nardo, who was still regretting the missed goal, the Wolfsburg players in the penalty area were all moving.

They remember that Martin was a full-time right back before transforming into a playmaking midfielder, and he had a 'unicorn arm'.

Gustavo took advantage of Nardo's cover and rushed to the left rib of the penalty area.
