Chapter 52: The Next Era: Midfield? (Happy New Year, ask for a monthly pass!) )
After the farce of the last game, Yile won the title of 'Peter Pan of the Premier League' in the Bundesliga.
Under the pursuit of that fan, Yile turned, started, and accelerated, all in one go, and its acceleration was even more than that of the young Robben, and they even calculated the wind direction, wind speed, and the highest peak.
German man-made memes are so rigorous.
......
Recently, the British national sports media recently published a topic of discussion.
'Football, the leader of the next era'
In the past two eras, countless superstars have shone in the football world.
For young fans at this stage, their most memorable memories are undoubtedly the last two eras.
The era represented by Da Luo.
The era represented by Meroe.
If the era of Da Luo is full of flowers, and there are distinct representatives in each position: then the era of Mero is the season of shooters through and through!
The so-called striker season does not mean that there were no excellent midfielders and defenders in that era, but they were basically covered up by goalscorers.
More precisely, it is dominated by Messi and Ronaldo, two crazy goalscorers.
The soaring goal rate and the unrivaled hype have made the football world focus on the position of the goalscorer, and in this case, the light of other positions has gradually been overshadowed.
The 'wind-chasing boy' who came out of AC Milan joined the Galaxy Battleship with his own enthusiasm, but he was still covered by Ronaldo's strong light.
Xavi is known as the brains of Barcelona's team, but Messi will always be remembered.
This is a grumpy era, everything is based on goals, and under that crazy goal, no matter how wonderful the pass and defense will be covered.
If you say, there are many superstars in Da Luo's era who compete with him.
Then there are only these two left in the Mero era.
That era was undoubtedly the era of a shooter!
Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Torres, Suarez, Ibrahimovic, Sergio Aguero, Bale and many more...
Almost all of these catchy names come from the shooter's position.
And what about the midfield?
After Xavi and Andrea Pirlo bid farewell to the top game, only the Croatians were left struggling to support them, and in terms of popularity, they were far inferior to the top scorers.
Times have changed, Mero's dominance has begun to gradually decline, and the younger generation has gradually grown up.
But this emerging era is different.
Unlike the blooming of the Da Luo era and the shooter season of the Mero era, at this point in time, almost all the well-known young players who have emerged are in the midfield position.
And if you look at the teams that are competitive in Europe at this stage, they are all teams with strong midfield.
Manchester United's Paul Pogba, Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne, Paris Saint-Germain's Neymar, Tottenham Hotspur's Easy Le and many more...
These four young midfielders quickly made a name for themselves with their impressive performances.
And most importantly, their teams are very competitive.
This has led the British national sports media to speculate: 'The next era of football may belong to the midfield!' ’
......
The second leg of the Champions League group stage is also in full swing.
The current ranking of Group G.
First: Tottenham Hotspur, 3 wins, 0 draws, 0 losses.
Second: Porto, 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss.
Third: Copenhagen, 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss.
Fourth: Club Brugge, 0 wins, 0 draws, 3 losses.
In terms of qualification, Tottenham are already certain to qualify, unless they lose all three of their games in the second leg, but that is almost impossible.
And there is a high probability that it will be the first in the group.
At the same time, Arsenal in Group A is also stable over Paris Saint-Germain, and now occupies the first place with 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.
In Group C, Manchester City won 1, drew 2 and lost 0, ranking second, pressed by Barcelona, but the qualifying situation is quite optimistic.
The qualification situation of Group D, the group of death, is confusing.
1st place: Atletico Madrid, 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss.
2nd place: Leicester City, 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss.
3rd place: Bayern Munich, 1 win, 0 draws, 2 losses.
Atletico Madrid relied on goal difference to sit in first place, and the points were bitten to death, and no one was sure who would advance.
Of course, Leicester City were unlucky to be placed in the Group of Death, but the Premier League media believe they will rise to the level if they can break through this shackle.
The last Premier League team, Anampton's is not ideal, in the words of the Premier League media, it is 'a drag'.
Tottenham and Arsenal are firmly in top spot.
Leicester City are in the Group of Death, with a decent performance and no slots, and are fighting hard to qualify.
Manchester City, despite being in second place, is in first place, and that is Barcelona.
In the end, Southampton was a little embarrassed, as a Premier League team could not beat CSKA Moscow and Lyon.
Southampton is inexperienced in the tournament and many of the squad are playing Champions League for the first time, so there is a nervous element to it.
Moreover, when they play against teams from other regions, they fall into the inferior experience, and many players dare not play at all, for fear of making mistakes, and then being sprayed by the media and fans.
In a state of fear, they finally taught a report card of 0 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, ranking third in the group, and the qualification form is in jeopardy.
It's just that Southampton is putting pressure on itself, in fact, the Premier League does not give him much hope.
After all, he also picked up this Champions League place, and if Tottenham hadn't won the Europa League and added a Champions League place, they wouldn't have wanted to appear in the Champions League.
Unlike last season's Champions League, this season's Premier League teams have a certain level of competitiveness, which is a good thing.
Of course, the biggest surprise is Tottenham!
This season, the Premier League has high hopes for Tottenham, who were shocking last season, but did not have a Champions League place.
However, they appeared in the Champions League this season, and despite the malaise at the start of the season, Tottenham once again showed a strong team strength after a full recovery.
And there is a great chance of reaching the top of Europe.
This has made many people start to look forward to whether Tottenham can keep the Champions League trophy in the Premier League and complete the perfect curtain call of their 'youth storm'.
......
Of course, there are pitfalls in the Premier League.
A large part of the reason why Premier League teams are not as competitive in the Champions League is that the Premier League is too competitive.
In the past, they had to juggle both of them due to their own intense schedule.
If you don't have the corresponding bench thickness, it's likely that both sides won't be pleased.
And this season, the Premier League is showing a 'big brawl' situation, and the seven teams are inseparable.
This forced the English Premier League to respond accordingly.
Eventually, the English Premier League changed the competition to make way for the Champions League, focusing the conversation within the Premier League on the Champions League Super Standby Zone from 3 November to 28 November and the Champions League break from January to February.
During the Champions League, Tottenham and other five teams played some underdogs, and they went all out to prepare for the Champions League, which allowed them to preserve their fighting power to a certain extent.
This method has been used more than once in the English Premier League.
This change to the schedule has left many fans satisfied.
After all, when there is the Champions League, watching the Champions League, and when there is no Champions League, the Premier League infighting is also quite exciting.
One more sends!
Entering the next month, the war is rekindled, but I am short of money, so I can only lick my face and ask for another wave of monthly passes!
