football's number one madman

Chapter 637 A Brand New Event

"Drip, drip, drip~~~"

Bournemouth's defensive strength is better than Newcastle's.

Instead of simply relying on crowd tactics to block them, they use the tacit cooperation between the midfield and the backcourt to continuously form local advantages, thereby compressing the space for movement of Li Polo, Hazard, William and others, making them deeply trapped. In the quagmire of defense.

Although they also paid the price of having six players dyed yellow, the head coach can always adjust personnel in a timely manner, distribute the defensive pressure to the entire defense line as much as possible, and try to avoid making a certain player the target of a key attack, which will lead to Red card crisis.

Even so, at the last moment, some of them turned two yellows into one red and were expelled by the referee...

But at this time, Chelsea had no time to chase and fight hard. Conte had already replaced two teenagers, Chike and Ampadu, to play and experience, and the score was finally fixed at 6:0.

With exactly the same score as last season, Lee Polo only scored 4 goals, without any improvement.

Hazard and William were even worse. They shot 5 times per person, but they didn't even score a goal!
Instead, Alonso took advantage of the direct free kick opportunity and made a world wave!

In addition, Pedro, who played as a substitute, picked up a big leak from the feet of Begovic, an old teammate! -
Chelsea's firepower has weakened, and other Premier League powerhouses have opened their doors one after another as if they have been beaten with chicken blood.

Lukaku scored twice and Morata also contributed the first goal of the season. Manchester United swept away the previous two-game losing streak and defeated Burnley, the biggest dark horse of last season, 3:0 away.

The elated Mourinho smiled to see that his old enemy Guardiola had encountered a big problem.

Manchester City met Newcastle who had just been humiliated by Chelsea in this round.

After the collapse of his beliefs, Benitez finally gave up his reputation as a famous coach and put up a big iron bucket in the Ittihad, allowing top attackers such as Aguero, Sterling and De Bruyne helpless.

After a 0:0 draw, the Magpies successfully snatched a precious point from Blue Moon!
With goals from Mane and Firmino, Liverpool narrowly beat Leicester City 2-1 away.

Arsenal, who also played in the away game, relied on the three goals of Mustafi, Aubameyang and Lacazette to beat Cardiff City in the last few minutes of the game and scored a thrilling 3:2. .

Tottenham, who was the last to play, became the only tyrant to lose.

With one goal ahead, they were pulled twice by Watford in the second half, and finally lost the game 1:2.

After the first 4 rounds of the Premier League, apart from Chelsea, Liverpool and Watford are the two teams that have maintained a complete victory. Tottenham and Manchester City ranked 9th and 8th with 4 points and 5 points respectively.

The bottom one is the "Hammer Gang" West Ham United who did not score a point.

As for the "Crazy Gang" New Wimbledon, they fought fiercely with "Seagull Legion" Brighton for 90 minutes in this round, and finally got a 2:2 draw, with 3 draws, 1 loss and 3 points. , temporarily ranked 15th.

Although Li Poluo's old club has introduced many young demons under Wenger's operation, it still needs a long wait for them to realize their potential!
-
After the fourth round of the league, the Premier League teams announced the suspension, and the players had to go to different battlefields to participate in the first national team game after the World Cup.

After the 2018 World Cup, UEFA forcibly promoted a resolution to integrate the national team friendly matches that were originally of little significance and confrontation into a new event-the European National Team League, referred to as the UEFA Europa League.

The 55 UEFA member states will be divided into four levels A, B, C, and D according to their rankings. Among them, there are 12 teams in the A and B levels, 15 teams in the C level, and 16 teams in the D level.

Since the draw was held in January, England's current ranking will not affect the grouping.They are in Group A with Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, Iceland, Croatia and the Netherlands.

In the internal secondary grouping of Group A, England's opponents in the same group are Spain and Croatia.

And the first opponent of the Three Lions is the Matador Legion!
Before parting ways, Li Polo sent his blessings to Fabregas, Alonso, Azpilicueta and others:
"May God bless you all!"

Lao Fa, who had already faded out of the national team, got horrible assist data last season because he hugged Lee Polo's thigh.

Such a dazzling performance forced Spain to recruit him into the team and played in the World Cup as a semi-main player, but at this moment he couldn't laugh at all.

He glanced at Pedro, an old La Masia teammate with a calm expression, and suddenly felt a little envious.

[It's not a bad thing to quit the national team early! 】
-
As a new event vigorously promoted by UEFA, the first round of the competition certainly attracts attention.

In the first round of each group, there are almost all strong duels.

For example, Group A1 is Germany vs. France at home, and Group A3 is Italy vs. Poland. Only Group A2 is relatively hip, Switzerland Vs Iceland.

This time for the national team, Lee Polo saw a few unfamiliar faces in the training center. They were obviously players that Southgate re-examined after the World Cup.

This is already normal, and the physical and financial conditions of players will fluctuate due to various factors-even Li Polo cannot maintain 100% peak performance and play every game.

For example, Vardy, who did not score in the first four rounds, lost the squad.

Sterling, who has been freeing himself in the new season, has not been called up.

Ashley Young, who had just renewed his contract with Manchester United, was also replaced by teammate Luke Shaw because of his sluggish state.

Phil Jones, who was accidentally injured in the third round of the league, could only bid farewell to the national team for the time being.

Those who replaced them were Liverpool's Joe Gomez, Arsenal's Welbeck, and even Everton's Ross Barkley and James Tarkovsky.

In the first tactical training session, Southgate wanted to use Henderson as a single midfielder, but was directly rejected by Lee Polo.

Facing Spain, only one Henderson can't prevent their quicksilver attack!
[I can't rely on me as a super striker to return to defense every game, can I? 】

[You, the head coach, can you respect the best player of last season who was double recognized by FIFA and UEFA? 】

Under the leadership of Lee Polo, Henderson himself also stood up, saying that the midfielder needs more support, and South Gate's single midfielder tactics can only be declared bankrupt!

Nandamen, who just won the Hercules Cup, thought that his prestige in the locker room would reach its peak, but he didn't expect that he would be taught a lesson by the players in the first training session!
[Negative sentiment from Southgate, +555! 】
-
On September 9, after five days of training camp, the Three Lions arrived at their home stadium, the New Wembley Stadium.

After a full meal at noon and a short rest, they ushered in their first opponent in the UEFA Europa League.

The unique overlord of world football between 2008 and 2012 truly created an era of Spain!
One hour before the official match, news came from Spain:

"Midfielder Cesc Fabregas suddenly felt muscle discomfort during the warm-up before the game, and had to withdraw from the squad for this game in tears!"

"He will work hard to recover and be back in action against Croatia in four days' time!"
