Chapter 237: Maguire in Hull City (Transitional Chapter)
The draw for the 2016/17 Champions League group stage has come to an end.
The end time is a little later than in previous years.
After holding the heavy trophy and briefly taking photos with several old rivals, Li Kang was ready to meet with the club staff.
The players of the 32 clubs are recognizable, and some of them are difficult to recognize.
After all, not everyone looks like Bale, Mbappe... Then it is recognizable.
Messi was not seen.
The superstar has suffered a recurrence of an old adductor injury and will be able to play in the first round of the Champions League group stage.
"Lee, Bayer Leverkusen bought several people with the money you left behind this summer window, and qualifying will not be a big problem."
"Maybe we can meet in the knockout round."
Brant said confidently.
In fact, Leverkusen is not restricted by the 50+1 policy in the Bundesliga, and 200 million yuan is in hand, and it is recruiting troops on a large scale.
8 million euros from Liverpool to recruit Balotelli, who has been "silent for many years".
1 million euros for Berbatov to return to the north.
15 million euros from Manchester United brought in the "unused" Hernandez.
Visa-free Klose...
40 million euros from Paris Saint-Germain to bring in David Luiz.
It's all about the reinforcement of the forward line and the defender.
As for the midfield...
These days, it's hard to find a good midfield star for money.
Joao Mario, who was finally targeted... Joined Inter Milan.
There is no way.
Worrall gritted his teeth, smashed 68 million euros, and brought in the "abandoned" J Ronaldo from Real Madrid!
The summer window isn't over yet.
Media reporters are looking forward to Bayer Leverkusen's next move.
....
On the return flight.
Wenger wears glasses and holds a book in his hand.
He's not just thinking about the rotation of personnel for the next game... The Premier League squad for the new season will be updated around 11 September.
Arsenal still have plenty of time to bring in and sell players.
But who else can you buy?
The strongest is already in the battle!
Li Kang is watching a game in Hull City.
The Gunners will have to meet the challenge of Tiger City before they can take on the Red Devils.
Hull City have been a dark horse this season.
With Maguire's excellent performance.
They defeated Lyicester City and Swansea City in the first two rounds of the Premier League, and are currently tied with the Premier League BIG5 at the top of the table!

Frightened, the spinach company hurriedly lowered the odds of Hull City winning the championship to 1000:1.
.....
Four days later.
The Premier League matchday is here again.
Emirates Stadium.
Crowded with people, the seats are full.
The red and white scarves and the team flag form the most beautiful wave of the bowl-shaped stands.
The mascot, the Gunslinger Dragon, interacts wildly with the fans on the sidelines.
“espn! espn! Good evening, audience friends. ”
"Now you're broadcasting the third round of the Premier League in 2016/17."
"Arsenal at home against Hull City!"
"Everyone will remember the FA Cup final two years ago, when the Gunners reversed Tiger! ended the embarrassing record of nine years without a crown. ”
"I'm the commentator of this game, Zhan Jun!"
"Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides."
"There was a big rotation at Arsenal! Maybe it's because of the preparation for the Champions League. ”
"Arsene Wenger is in a 4-4-2 formation!"
"Goalkeeper: ..."
....
"The owner of Hull City wants to transfer the club to a mysterious consortium in the Eastern Country."
"There are four Asian faces in yellow and black scarves in the stands!"
"Can you negotiate a good price and watch this game!"
"After Hull City was promoted to the Premier League, not only was the manager angry with the club owner's son, but also sold a number of key players!"
"At this time, the numbers of the players on the field are all big numbers!"
"The acting coach is Mike Phelan! Once Ferguson's assistant! ”
"They lined up 4-3-3!"
"Goalkeeper: Yakupovich!"
"Defenders: Muhammadi, Maguire, Davies, Robertson!"
"Midfielders: Hadlers, Croucas, Myler!"
"Forwards: Diomande, Mpokani, Masson!"
....
Hull City though one is a Premier League "lift".
But he's done well in the academy.
A number of youngsters have performed very well in past games.
After the opening whistle.
The Tigers who got the ball went crazy on Arsenal's half.
Head coach - Mike Phellan, tactically illegal and aggressive.
No matter who the opponent is, he doesn't have the word anti-anti in his dictionary.
As soon as the football crossed the halfway line, it immediately shifted to the side, and the whole army pressed on it in a big way.
....
"Teenager Masson's ball is cut off!"
"The one who completed this defense was Ramsey!"
After Ramsey's explosion in the European Cup, the whole person seems to have lost a lot of weight.
It didn't hurt either.
It will take time to get back into shape.
He handed the ball to Arsenal's number 10 as soon as possible.
Li Kang found the most suitable counter-attacking route in an instant.
Syllable!
Like a sharp blade, it cut through Hull City's half.
Morata is a winner!
Seeing that he is about to catch the ball and form a single knife!
The Yin Slington fans couldn't contain their cheers.
A big, burly figure put an end to the gunman's thoughts!
"Maguire!"
"This head-on interception was outstanding!"
"Strangled Arsenal's fast attack!"
"It's a typical heavy centre-back, even Morata has a hard time getting the upper hand!"
...
Morata was slightly surprised.
The big man in front of him is simple-looking, defensive position selection and close awareness, prediction of the ball path... It's all too strong, right?
Championship promotion horses still have this kind of talented central defender?
Positive one-on-one ability alone.
It's almost as good as Juventus' defensive team.
Gradually.
Under the pack of Hull City defenders.
The Spanish striker had to pass the ball back to the back.
Arsenal regrouped their attack.
....
Time passed quickly.
Until the end of the first half.
Arsenal, who rotate on a large scale, have few chances to threaten the gates of Hull City.
Maguire, who has two backs to protect him, is like a god descending from heaven and has repeatedly resolved dangers.
"Arsenal can't open the situation."
'The starting line-up wasn't enough for them to play what they do best.
"There are still Olivier Giroud, Alexis Sanchez, Cazorla and others on the bench!"
"New signing Xhaka has been banned!"
"If this game is drawn, the Premier League table will be again... Hey, other games played at the same time also caused upsets one after another! ”
....
Li Kang did not find anything special about Hull City's tactics.
Very traditional English style of play.
Even if the midfield is disjointed, the defensive attitude of the opponent's two midfielders is still positive.
Forced but not robbed.
Maximum protection of the backline.
68th minute of the game.
Arsenal youngster Holding stepped forward to join the attack.
Li Kang received a pass from Ramsey in the rib area.
45-degree cross with left foot!
The football made a graceful arc in mid-air and crashed into the big penalty area of Hull City!
Morat jumps at the same time as Holding!
"Twin ghosts knock on the door!"
"It's Maguire's brain, it's goalkeeper again!"
"Terrifying ability to stay in the air!"
"Oh? The referee's whistle is blowing! ”
"Penalty!"
....
Ultimately.
Arsenal 1:0 Hull City at home.
Arsene Wenger looked at the opponent's big-headed centre-back, his expression tangled, as if he was hesitating something.
