Chapter 579: Against the "Fox"

Then there is Roma, who will return to the Champions League in three years' time, and Monaco, who will be in the Champions League ten years later.

Of course, the most important highlight is actually the contest between Li Zihan and his old club Juventus, Li Zihan has only been away from Juventus for a year, but he led Arsenal to win the Champions League trophy that has never been touched.

Which of them Juventus was no less pulled out of the "whip. corpse", so this attraction is much more exciting than the oft-repeated Camp Nou against his old club Zlatan Ibrahimovic, after all, the old sesame rotten grain between Ibrahimovic and Barcelona has been repeatedly reported by the media.

All in all, this season's Champions League has been very interesting.

The next day, news flew about the UEFA awards ceremony and the draw for the Champions League group stage. It's not just the European media that's paying attention, it's the media around the world that's paying attention. Now the Champions League is almost the most valuable and concerned league in modern football, although the World Cup is known as the top feast, but the Champions League is not much worse than him, the world's top players will perform in this event, but the World Cup such as Falcao, Ibrahimovic, Bale and Li Zihan.

"Europe's Best - Lee!!" That's the headline of the London Post.

"From an unknown youngster to the best player in Europe today, he has only taken two seasons!!" - Torino Sport.

"The most important thing Conte brought to Juventus was not the three league titles, but Pogba and Lee, both of whom have now proven their ability and Lee was crowned the best player in Europe last night!" - Milan Sport Newspaper.

And "Roma Sport" did not forget to dig a hole for Juventus: "And Juventus did not keep these two young men who are the top two in Europe!! ”

"Gorgeous metamorphosis!!" - The Mirror

Almost all the media in Europe and even the world are reporting on this incident, and the media in Madrid think that Li Zihan is not a good winner, because he has not been selected for the national team, let alone the World Cup, so they think that considering the comprehensive factors, the final winner should be their star Cristiano Ronaldo.

And the Chinese media also ridiculed the Football Association at this time: "The best players in Europe are not qualified to play for the Chinese team!" ”

The major newspapers also have different opinions on the draw for the group stage.

Among them, Madrid's "Marca" said: "The future of Real Madrid is bright, and we will continue to hit the tenth crown!" ”

Marca, as the throat of Real Madrid, is of course saying good things for Real Madrid. However, the prospects for Real Madrid this season seem to be very stable, and the qualifying places in the group are almost locked, one is Real Madrid, and the other is Liverpool. The two teams didn't even need to waste much energy in the group stage, and they directly locked their eyes on the knockout stage, and Basel is not Barcelona, so it is impossible for them to cause problems for both teams, as for Ludogoretz, who are they?

"This season has once again been in the Group of Death, Group C and Group H are very tough, and the teams are very close in strength, which is destined to be a tough fight. Figo is also really good, as a Portuguese, he has put all three Portuguese teams in the Champions League into a group of deaths. Benfica and Porto, the two groups of death, are not to be mentioned. Sporting Lisbon is in a group with Chelsea and Schalke 04, and Sporting Lisbon can only choose to qualify with Schalke 04, a Bundesliga powerhouse, as for the trouble with Chelsea, they should give up this idea as soon as possible. Figo's luck is really enough. ”

"Apart from the group of death, the group that has attracted the most attention is Arsenal. This will be a match between Li Zihan and his old club Juventus, Li Zihan may not have imagined that he has only left Juventus for one season and will soon return to the place where he once debuted. At the same time, Juventus definitely didn't expect Li Zihan to grow up so fast, I don't know how Juventus fans are doing, I heard that Li Zihan was not loved by all fans when he was in Juventus, and a small number of fans didn't like Li Zihan. I don't know what those small number of fans think, anyway, we don't understand their world, and Li Zihan, who is in such a brave state, must be regarded as the future of the club in other teams! ”

"Roma and CSKA Moscow were unlucky, they were in a group with Bayern Munich and Manchester City. The appearance of this group should be more complicated, Bayern Munich will have no problem getting a place, but CSKA Moscow and Roma should give Manchester City some trouble, even if Manchester City qualify in the end, they may not be out of the way."

The award-winning Li Zihan and Arsenal did not stop at Monte Carlo, but immediately rushed back to London. Although it is a matter of joy to win the award, the season has only just begun, and there is still a lot of work waiting for Li Zihan and his Arsenal.

Shortly after returning to London, the Premier League ushered in the third round of the season on the last afternoon of August. Arsenal's game was brought down at the end of the round, and the results of the other games have already been announced.

Everton and Chelsea's Blues put on a super-goal shootout, with nine goals scored by both sides, an average of one goal every ten minutes. It was a delight for the fans, but the Everton fans didn't like the final score and they lost the game 3-6 at home. Among them, the new players of the Blues, Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas, are eye-catching, and the former Atletico Madrid striker and the anxious Diego Costa are also anxious to move to Chelsea. He scored a goal in the first two rounds, and this round went straight to a hat-trick

In three rounds, Diego Costa has scored four goals, which is such a goal efficiency

And Fabregas did not give up much in this game, he scored a hat-trick of assists, laid a solid foundation for Chelsea's crazy nine goals, and with Fabregas's combing in midfield, Chelsea's rhythm has become progressive.

Of the remaining six goals, Eden Hazard scored twice, Oscar blasted home from distance and Branislav Ivanovic and captain John Terry each scored a tactical header from a set-piece.

Chelsea seem to have set the tone for the season at the outset, with Jose Mourinho saying last season: "This season I just kept the Champions League and didn't think about the title, and next season we have a very successful run-in and we will start the race for the league title!" ”

Maybe Mourinho didn't mean to play, they were on fire this season and they were aiming for the title from the start.

In fact, Chelsea's squad was so poor last season that they almost won the title, and the four teams did not decide the winner until the bottom few rounds of the league. And Chelsea, who have made a lot of signings, everyone knows what they want this season, especially the introduction of Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas.

Liverpool were bloodied by Manchester City 3-0 in the last round, and this round of the game broke out completely. They beat Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 at White Hart Lane, handing the shame that Manchester City had left on them to Tottenham

Both teams in Manchester lost in this round, and Manchester City actually lost to Sky City Stoke City at their home stadium. The key point is that in 90 minutes, the firepower Manchester City actually did not score a goal, and they lost 0-1 to Stoke City. The result of such a game is too surprising.

As for Manchester United, they were forced to draw 0-0 away by promoted Burnley, and the picturesque Manchester United in the front field did not knock on the door of this promoted horse, which is not surprising, it is unacceptable. If it weren't for David De Gea's bravery in this game, perhaps United would not have even picked up a point.

Arsenal games only begin when most of the results are out, and the rest of the games are coming to an end.

In this game, Arsenal faced the promoted "Foxes" Leicester City team, and Arsene Wenger's goal this season is to fight in the third line, otherwise he would not have brought in so many players in one go this summer. Therefore, he needs to give more players opportunities, especially this kind of actual combat opportunity, and Arsenal, who are fighting on both fronts next month, will not be unable to keep up with the ability to substitute due to injuries in previous seasons, which will affect the team's results.

Arsene Wenger felt the game was a good opportunity to practice, so he made most of his substitutions and rotations.

In the forward line, Harry Kane, a striker transferred from Tottenham, started in front, with Li Zihan on the left, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on the right, and Spanish attacking midfielder Cazorla in the center. In midfield, Arsene Wenger used the duo of Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey. As Lars Bender's most reliable defensive midfielder at the moment, Arsene Wenger must of course fully take into account his fitness and physical problems so that he can play in all the important games, and against a promoted horse like Leicester City, there is no need to let Russ Bender play.

At the back, Spain international Monreal replaced Arsenal academy player Robs Gibbs, Cameroon's talented centre-back Nkouru in central defence was partnered by French centre-back Koscielny, and on the right was youngster Chambers from Saints Southampton.

As a rookie and a young player, Chambers still needs a lot of time to integrate into the Arsenal system and more game practice. That's a lot worse than the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Russ Bender and Hevedes, who have largely integrated into the team so far, with only the occasional mistake in detail, but no major problems, while Chambers keeps making mistakes.

His big-picture vision and ability to read the game are far worse than those of these long-established stars, and Pogba's situation is different, Pogba's talent is well known in European football, and he was taught by midfield masters like Andrea Pirlo at Juventus. Of course, he is more adaptable to the new environment than Chambers, not to mention that his good friend Li Zihan is the core and captain of this team

Goalkeeper Szczesny was benched and replaced by Colombian international Ospina. Even if this gives Szczesny time to rest, it is of course more important to put pressure on the Polish international and make him more active in the game.

The crisis-ridden Szczesny may be able to reap some surprises
