Happy times are always short-lived, at dusk, Qiansheng will leave, and the next day, the England team will fly to France for final preparations. Li Jiaming and Liu Shihao reluctantly said goodbye to their idols, this contact had a far-reaching impact on the two, in the coming days, their growth rate is extremely fast, and soon the national team and domestic teammates to open a great distance.

The high-profile new Arsenal officially announced the news of summer pre-season preparations.

After the European Championships, most of the players will assemble at the end of July, with the exception of the international players who are on leave on leave, before heading to the United States to prepare for the tournament. There they will play warm-up matches against the Major League Stars as well as Mexican side Guadalajara. It then travels to Northern Europe at the start of August, with two pre-season warm-up matches in Stavanger, Norway, on 5 August, and Gothenburg and Manchester City in Sweden on 7 August.

Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, who has focused on Arsenal, revealed his transfer prediction for Arsenal on his personal website:

"The contract of Nicolas Nkouru, the main central defender of Ligue 1 giants Marseille, has expired, and a number of strong teams are interested in recruiting him. But for now, Premier League giants Arsenal are in the lead, and it is understood that they will offer a five-year contract with a salary of £150,000 a week to sign the 26-year-old Cameroon international, who can play in both central defence and midfield. ”

'Samuel Umtiti, who has been named in the French squad, is in contact with Arsenal and Lyon's talented defender is expected to join the Emirates Stadium.

Under the introduction of Swiss captain Granit Xhaka, Swiss international and left-back Ricardo Rodriguez expressed his willingness to join Arsenal in order to play in the Champions League. Arsenal have also expressed their willingness to activate the Swiss' €25 million release fee. ”

According to reliable sources, Napoli's main central defender Kalidou Koulibaly wants to transfer to a giant team in order to be selected for the national team in the future, and the Premier League giants Arsenal offer 30 million pounds, Napoli thinks the offer is too low. Koulibaly's agent, Bruno Santi, furiously attacked the office, and the two sides were on the same page. ”

"Reliable sources, Mario Balotelli, who was not selected for Italy's European Championship squad, is preparing to transfer, and the next home is very likely to be Arsenal. Don't forget, his agent is Mino Raiola. ”

"Arsenal continue his big buying in the transfer market, targeting young talent, with new Premier League champions Leicester City youngster Ben Chivir, Ajax's talented midfielder Richdeli Bazor, West Ham's talented centre-back Reece Oxford, Anderlecht's Belgian talent Dennis Praet, Barcelona's Croatian talent Aaron Halilovic and Paris Saint-Germain's Adrian Rabiot among others among the Gunners' targets."

"In the latest news, in order to strengthen their firepower, Arsenal have targeted Spain's talented goalscorer Alvaro Morata and last season's third-highest scorer in the Premier League, England international Jamie Valty and French musketeer Antoine Griezmann. A deep-pocketed arsenal wants to build the most terrifying firepower attack group in Europe? ”

Di Marzio's personal website has always been a bellwether in the European transfer market, and basically the transfer information he predicts is true and reliable. Since he is Italian, Di Marzio mainly predicts more transfers in Serie A, and other leagues, mainly focusing on high-profile players.

Thanks to Arsenal, who became the strongest tycoon after the acquisition, Di Marzio's personal website has hundreds of millions of traffic every day, and it has crashed several times, so that the Italian transfer expert has to buy more servers, and he is watching the rising number of views with pain and joy.

When everyone has similar financial resources, they can still have fun together. When a newborn tyrant, like a stunned young man, almost buys out good goods with a lot of money, these old tyrants are unhappy.

"David, are you going to mess with the transfer market?"

Listening to the angry voice in the microphone, Arsenal CEO David Dunn crossed his mouth and said: "Miguel, we are above board, real money trading, how can we talk about disrupting the market?" Real Madrid, the dignified giant of the century, is not short of money, who do you want to buy, you can compete with the price, the winner of the high price, you don't understand this truth? ”

"David, you ......"

"Okay, okay, you also know that our team has just been bought, everything has to start all over again, there are so many things, work is busy, there is no time to listen to nonsense. Hehe, when it's free, let's get together, have a cup of tea, and watch the ball. Without waiting for the other party to speak, he hung up the phone.

Alas, the 9th. Dunn rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly in his heart.

It's a good feeling to be rich, although I don't know why the new owner is willing to spend so much money to buy people, but this feeling of being rich and willful, hehe, we Arsenal can also play willful once.

Dunn got up and stretched, walked to the window, and saw that it was already dark, and suddenly realized that it was late.

This state of work has lasted for a long time, and Dunn, who has been responsible for the club, has always supported foreign acquisitions, and learned from Manchester United's business development model, he can finally make his dream come true, and he is naturally full of spirit and energy.

Watching the team slaughter all sides in the transfer market, taking the lead when many giants have not yet acted, spending money to buy a large number of powerful players, and even several stars, Dunn is full of infinite expectations for Arsenal's results next season.

Dunn understands football, he knows that after the summer purge and big purchase transfers, the team has added too many new players, it will take a lot of time to grind, the team may have a turbulent results in the early part of next season, plus there are too many players to buy, so he needs to keep the team cohesive and stable, so consider loaning some players.

These will have to wait until the return of Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger, who has come from vacation. What Dunn needs to do now is to prepare for the season, such as the schedule of warm-up matches and the selection of opponents, the club's new sponsorship system and investment, and the redevelopment of the North American and Asian markets.

With the anticipation of the English, the Three Lions took a charter flight to France, with the destination being Marseille.

Going directly to Marseille was to avoid the long journey from Paris to Marseille, and secondly, the management team of the England national team had already booked a hotel and training venue in advance. You can even go to the Velodrome Stadium, the venue for the first match of the group stage, to get used to it.

Located in the southeast of France, Marseille is a city surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the Mediterranean Sea on the other. It is not only the largest commercial port in France, but also the second largest city in France.

As a seaside city, Marseille has a typical Mediterranean climate, with hot and dry summers, daytime temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius, and very long hours of sunshine, almost until 10 p.m. As a result, England boss Roy Hodgson is more concerned about the impact of the hot climate on his team.

In 2013, Marseille became the European Capital of Culture, one of the oldest cities in France with a rich history of 2,600 years. The famous "La Marseillaise" was born in this city. Alexandre Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo made Marseille's Isle of Yves known, and Luc Besson's Taxi Courier series of films takes place in Marseille. The famous writer Mather Bargno, author of the "Provençal Childhood Tetralogy", was paid tribute to by the city of Marseille who paid special attention to the renovation of the Château de Bouzna, the setting of his book "Mother's Castle".

Marseille has great food and famous attractions, such as the Basilica of Our Lady of the Custodian on a 150-metre-high hill, the Île d'If 2 km away for The Count of Monte Cristo, the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations on reclaimed land at the entrance to the harbour, the Old Town of Basket in the 2nd arrondissement of Marseille, and the Vieux Port of Marseille, an urban landmark in the heart of the city.

As one of the 10 venues for the European Championship in France, the Stade Velodrome is the home of Marseille, a traditional powerhouse of Ligue 1, and has been in use since 1937. After France won the right to host Euro 2016, a project began on the expansion and upgrading of the stadium at a cost of around 150 million euros, and today the stadium has a capacity of 67,000 people, making it a four-star stadium for UEFA, while maintaining its position as the largest club in France by capacity.

As a historic course, Stade Velodrome has hosted several continental and international competitions in France. Back in the 1938 World Cup in France, the stadium hosted two of those matches, the opening round of Italy's 2-1 win over Norway and Italy's 2-1 semi-final win over Brazil.

As the predecessor of the European Championship, the first European Nations Cup was also held in France in 1960. In a tournament where only four teams competed in the finals, the Velodrom Stadium hosted the 3-0 semi-final win over Czechoslovakia and the third-place match in Czechoslovakia's 2-0 win over France. At the 1984 European Championship, it was natural that this stadium became one of the stadiums that witnessed the victory of the French midfielder "quartet". Here, France managed to beat Portugal 3-2 after extra time, with Michel Platini netting the winner in the final minute of extra time. It also hosted Portugal's 1-1 draw with Spain in the "Iberian Civil War".

In the 1998 World Cup in France, a total of seven matches were played here, including classic battles: the host France team started their World Cup journey here, and it is worth mentioning that in the 3-0 victory over South Africa, Henry scored his first goal for the national team; The pinnacle match between the Netherlands and Argentina in the World Cup was also held here, and the orange team finally won 2-1; It also hosted the semi-finals between Brazil and the Netherlands, with Ronaldo and Patrick Kluivert scoring a goal each before Brazil won 4-2 on penalties to advance to the final.

This summer, the Stade Velodrome in Marseille will host four group stage matches, one quarter-final and semi-final, for a total of six matches. On 11 June 2016, England will play Russia in their first group game. At the same time, it was also the stage for Qiansheng to participate in an international competition for the first time.
