The next day.

The equation arrived at the training base on time. Yesterday I was able to take a break and feel like I'm back to full capacity.

Arsenal also came off a surprise win over Wycombe Rangers with a 2-0 scoreline, with Haaland scoring a goal again in the game.

A lot of people started to notice this young man who resembled Majin Buu.

Especially after knowing that his father is Haaland Sr., there are already media newspapers praising his performance.

The equation came early, and as soon as I stopped the car, I saw Haaland also driving over.

"Captain, you're here too!"

Haaland got out of the car and took the initiative to say hello.

Equation nodded and congratulated: "Congratulations on scoring again yesterday, it looks like you should be able to get into the starting lineup soon." ”

Haaland grinned: "I'm not in a hurry, anyway, I will definitely surpass my dad in the Premier League goals this season!" ”

Equation smiled, there was no suspense, after all, his father's Premier League goals were indeed a handful.

"In our words, it's better to be blue." The equation is a bit lame.

Haaland could only guess that the second captain was praising him.

"Thank you, Captain, for your words, but." He suddenly said, "I read the newspaper outside in the morning that the captain has a good chance of being selected for the 10-man shortlist for this year's Copa Award in French football, and the list of candidates will be officially announced in a few days." ”

The equation nodded, not surprised.

Because Mourinho had told him the news before, he thought about it before he said: "It doesn't matter in advance, we have to play Paris Saint-Germain in the next game, and I just concentrate on the game now." You know, the Nacopa Award will be announced at 10.20, which is still early! ”

Haaland also felt that it made sense, and the two talked as they went to the dressing room at the base.

When they arrived at the door, the two saw that Saka had already changed into sportswear inside.

"Captain, what's wrong with you?"

The three exchanged pleasantries, and Saka noticed that the second captain, who had not been seen for a day, was a little different.

The equation is strange, "What's wrong?" ”

Saka pointed to his sideburns and said, "Looks like you have a few gray hairs here?" ”

"Really?"

Equation took a picture with his mobile phone, and said with relief: "Normal, my junior high school classmates can all have gray hair." Besides, when I play in midfield, my brain is overloaded, so it's okay to have two sticks. ”

Saka couldn't help but touch his fluffy hair, feeling curious, "Then I will also have gray hair?" ”

Equation smiled and said, "You can turn your beard gray in the future, don't think you won't." ”

When Haaland heard this, he was also amused, and opened his mouth and said, "Then let's make a bet to see who will have gray hair first!" ”

"That's boring!"

Equation shook his head and said, "If you want to bet, bet on whoever will score the most goals, and the one who loses must dye his hair gray!" ”

Saka's eyes lit up, and the young man's inexplicable competitive psychology instantly became active, and he nodded decisively and said: "Yes, just bet on this, when we play in the 15th round of the Premier League, we will see who has more goals, and those who lose will dye their gray hair!" ”

Haaland laughed and clapped his hands, "Because of the blowing, we'll bet on this!" ”

So, the three of them made a bet that looked strange, and then started today's warm-up exercise.

When the other teammates came to the training base, when they saw the three people who were suddenly working hard, they were a little unsure of what was going on.

On September 25, the whole Arsenal team flew to Paris early in the morning, because the distance is not far, there will be no fatigue.

The whole team came to the home stadium in Paris to familiarize themselves with the venue.

Also on this day, France Football announced the list of 10 nominees for this year's Kopa Award, which are:

De Ligt (Ajax/Juventus)

Vinicius Jr. (Real Madrid)

Kai Havertz (Bayer Leverkusen)

Equation (Arsenal)

Luning (Valladolid)

Felix (Benfica)

Sancho (Borussia Dortmund)

Keane (Juve/Everton)

Chukwueze (Villarreal)

Li Gangren (Valencia)

meantime

"French Football" also announced the complete list of 30 candidates for the Ballon d'Or: Messi Ronaldo leads, Son Heung-min and Van Dijk are selected.

During this period, manager Arsene Wenger and Formula came to the stadium press conference.

When the reporters present saw that the equation actually came to the scene rarely, their faces suddenly shook, like sharks that smelled blood.

Equation sat in front of the microphone and realized that he shouldn't have come here when he saw that the atmosphere was suddenly wrong.

It's over, he seems to have been pitted by Xhaka.

There was no way, the equation was stubborn, so I had to let the domestic reporters who came from afar ask the first question.

"Hello Equation!"

The domestic reporter immediately stood up, and as the first person to ask questions among a group of foreign journalists, he felt a lot of face, and asked with a smile: "Now that the Kopa Award has announced the list of 10 candidates, do you have any thoughts on this as the first time to be selected?" ”

"Thank you very much for your support, and I'm honored to be on this shortlist, but today is the most important competition, so I won't be distracted." ”

The domestic reporter nodded happily, thinking that as the number one football player in China, it is really rare to have such a sober understanding.

Then, the domestic reporter sat down, and the equation was about to be asked by the second reporter.

Who knows

The pickle reporter suddenly stood up on his own, and he immediately asked a sharp question:

"What advantages do you think you have to win the Kopa Prize?"

When the press officer heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he wanted the kimchi reporter to sit down.

The other reporters in the audience were also very angry about this, and the kimchi reporter suddenly stood up and asked questions, which broke the rules of asking questions on the spot!

The head coach next to him, Arsene Wenger, had a sinking face and was about to speak for his disciple.

But

Equation's expression was calm, and he only glanced at the kimchi reporter, and he replied: "I think that the Kopa Award is voted for by professional media professionals in Europe, and it is not decided by the ideas of a single person. So no matter what the result is, I will respect the votes of all professional media professionals. Secondly, I became a professional footballer because I love the sport. And not for the sake of honorary awards, this sport was chosen. If it was just for the honors, I could have chosen another career. ”

As soon as the words fell, some of the reporters present showed impressive expressions, and manager Arsene Wenger couldn't help but look at him more.

This answer is simply impeccable, and it kills the person who wants to stir up trouble.

Immediately, the equation ignored the trouble-making reporter and let the next reporter ask questions.

"Hello Fang, which star do you think will win the Ballon d'Or this year?" The Parisian reporter got up and asked.

The equation is a bit helpless.

Yes, as "French Football" is about to start awarding awards, the current Champions League group press conference is a bit off-topic

Equation coughed and said, "As I just said, I believe that all professional media professionals will definitely select the most suitable Golden Globe winner." ”

Manager Arsene Wenger then took the microphone and began to answer questions from reporters.

On the other hand, Mbappe did not attend the press conference today,

However, as soon as he came out of the training base and drove home, he was still surrounded and intercepted by reporters and media.

Mbappe had no choice but to lower the window of the car, pointed at the reporters' long guns and short guns, and said angrily: "You quickly move the car in front of you, and if you don't leave, I will call the police now!" ”

A reporter smiled and said shamelessly: "We'll ask a question, and when we're done, we'll move away!" ”

Mbappe almost laughed angrily and nodded, "Okay, I'll see what questions you guys have to ask!" ”

The reporter was cheeky and said with a smile: "May I ask Mr. Killian, as the winner of last year's Kopa Award, do you think the Oriental can win the Kopa Award this year?" ”

Mbappe snorted coldly, knowing that he would be asking this kind of question, as they will compete with Arsenal tomorrow for the top spot in the Champions League group.

Mbappe endured his impatience, "I just said that whoever wins the Kopa award, I will congratulate him. Then, tomorrow we have the Champions League and I don't want to give any more interviews right now. ”

After speaking, the reporters also kept their promise and moved the car in front of them.

Mbappe was clearly annoyed by these people, stepped on the accelerator of the sports car, and started with a bang.

September 26, Parc des Princes Stadium.

The second round of the Champions League group stage is about to begin.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Arsenal!

The whole stadium is full, and the voices are boiling!

Players from both sides are warming up on the field, waiting for the time to come.

Lacazette and Saka were chatting with their legs raised.

"What the hell were you betting that day? I see you're training these days, it's like you're knocking! ”

"Hahh, it's a bet about changing the look anyway."

Seeing that Saka was reluctant to answer directly, Lacazette went to ask the equation, and the equation also laughed haha.

Lacazette was not reconciled and went to Haaland again, so he found it in this circle, so that the whole team knew about the "three-person bet".

However, the three of them pretended to be mysterious, and then the captain Zaka was anxious to know the truth, so he resorted to "violent" means and began to chase the three of them for questioning.

The four of them started chasing me on the pitch, making Arsenal's teammates laugh out loud.

Paris Saint-Germain,

Everyone is warming up seriously, thinking that they must do a good job today.

And Mbappe soon heard voices coming from Arsenal.

Seeing that his opponent was completely free of the tension before the big battle, Mbappe narrowed his eyes.

You must know that this is their home field, and the opponent dares to relax like this!

"When it starts, be sure to let them know that it's amazing!"

Mbappe's heart instantly ignited a competitive fighting spirit!

And today, Arsenal is in a 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: Leno.

Back: Ben White, Gabriel, Papastathopoulos, Bellerin.

Midfielders: Equation, Thomas, Xhaka.

Up front: Saka, Alexandre Lacazette, Martinelli.

And Paris Saint-Germain's formation is 433.

Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas.

Back: Meunier, Silva, Kimpembe, Bernart.

Midfielders: Gueye, Verratti, Marquinhos.

Front: Di Maria, Icardi, Mbappe.

And domestic,

Migu Video broadcast this Champions League game live, and the commentator Zhan Jun couldn't help but say: "Both sides play 433 formations, which is a pure offensive type of football tactics!" ”

"Arsenal have made it clear that they are going to fight for real at the Parc des Princes!!"

"Beep-"

The competition is officially on!

Arsenal guess the coin to win the tee-off.

As the referee's whistle sounded, Paris Saint-Germain pressed up together,

This is their home turf, and they are determined to unleash their home strength!

Arsenal's formation was instantly under a strong pressure,

As the football comes back,

Their passing at the back has become very difficult.

Mbappe and Di Maria are very fast,

And Icardi has been stuck in the passing route,

Forcing Arsenal's defence to deal with football has little time to deal with.

This kind of up-and-coming from Paris Saint-Germain is very threatening!

Especially Mbappe's speed is very fast, and when he grabs the ball, he can quickly enter the penalty area and easily break the goal.

Faced with this situation, Arsenal's back four quickly opened up space, and the two defenders almost stood on the sidelines on both sides.

Equation also quickly ran back, increasing the passing points of his teammates at the back and reducing the pressure on Paris.

Arsenal use these methods to scramble on the sidelines of their opponents.

After a long two minutes, Equation resisted the pressure at the back and found Saka on the right with a long ball.

"Awesome!! The long transfer of the equation is very accurate! ”

"They've finally bypassed the front court press of Grand Paris!"

Zhan Jun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said.

Because the opening of Paris was too fierce, he once thought that Arsenal's defense was about to be broken!

Fortunately, there is no danger!

Saka just wanted to take the ball and rush to the wing,

However, he saw that Bernat and Kimpembe in Paris were about to move to the side to defend.

Saka immediately changed his mind and ran inside with the ball!

Seeing this, Lacazette hurriedly retreated to catch the ball, and wanted to turn around to meet the ball.

However, Verratti had a lot of experience, he came back quickly, kept his sights on the passing path and slid the ball away!

Lacazette was taken aback, and hurriedly went up to grab the ball.

Verratti didn't give it a chance, got up in an instant and slammed a long ball into the frontcourt!

"Not good! Verratti defends back to cut off Arsenal's attack!! ”

"Who is this going to pass on?!"

Zhan Jun immediately became nervous.

I saw that Mbappe sprinted in an instant, like a sharp arrow off the string, suddenly tearing apart Arsenal's backfield defense! Run to the left side of the big penalty area!!

Icardi grabbed the first spot and flicked a header to deliver a perfect pass to Mbappe.

Mbappe resisted Thomas's close pressing, met the incoming ball, and jerked with his right foot.

The ball was close to the ground, lightning fast, and drilled straight into the bottom right corner!

Goalkeeper Leno didn't have time to fall to the ground when he felt a gust of wind under his armpit in an instant!

Wow!!

The Parc des Princes stadium shook instantly, the fans of Grand Paris cheered wildly, and someone directly lit a flare!

Grand Paris leads 1:0!!

As soon as the equation returned to the arc, he saw that his goal was broken by Mr. Mu's volley.

He grabbed his clothes with both hands and felt speechless.

The front court configuration of Grand Paris is indeed proud of the entire European competition.
