Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Manchester City suffered a heavy defeat when they visited the Emirates Stadium in the first round of the league. In the second round, Chelsea were trembling at home at Stamford Bridge. What made them most depressed was the goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois who only had the last year of his contract. No more training.

With no other option, he could only be allowed to join Real Madrid for 3500 million euros.

The league has started, how can any team easily sell their goalkeeper?

For this reason, one can only use money to break the breach of contract clause.

80 million euros to introduce Spanish goalkeeper Kepa from Athletic Bilbao.

Such a price would also surpass the record transfer fee for a goalkeeper, which was broken by Alisson last month.

Whether it was in the later stages of Mu's second term or during Conte's coaching, he had no success against Arsenal.

The new head coach Sarri was naturally full of confidence before the game, but the game was honest.

Be invincible first, then find a way to win the game.

However, Arsenal led by Martin did very well on both ends of the offense and defense, and did not ignore defense when attacking. This meant that the counterattack system led by Hazard did not threaten Leno's goalkeeping.

In the 29th minute of the first half, the visiting team Arsenal took the lead to break the deadlock.

Martin sent a high-quality cross from the right, bypassing David Luiz at the front point. Cavani, who appeared at the penalty spot, leaped high and beat Rudiger to head the ball into goalkeeper Kepa, who was playing for Chelsea for the first time. .

Once the first goal came, the second one became easy.

Cavani returned the favor before the end of the first half, assisting Martin to score with a blast from the front of the penalty area.

This score is also the final score of the game.

Arsenal still have two league games left before the international break in September.

They defeated West Ham 3-0 at home and continued to top the standings with their first three consecutive victories.

The 2018-2019 Champions League group draw and UEFA Player of the Year award were held in Monaco at the end of August.

As the captain of the defending champion Arsenal, Martin returned the Saint-Bride Cup, which symbolizes the Champions League championship, to UEFA, and then the competition director Marchetti presided over the draw.

As with previous draws, UEFA always draws one or two death groups.

Liverpool and Tottenham from the Premier League were drawn into the group of death.

Liverpool are drawn in Group C with Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli and Red Star Belgrade.

Tottenham are drawn in Group B along with Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan and PSV.

Defending champion Arsenal has a good draw and is in Group F with Lyon, Shakhtar Donetsk and Hoffenheim.

The 2018-2019 Champions League group draw ceremony ends, followed by the awarding of the UEFA Player of the Year.

There are no surprises with this award.

Arsenal captain Martin once again defended his title with a huge advantage.

Time comes in September, and the fourth round of the 2018-2019 Premier League season kicks off. This is also the last game before the international break.

Arsenal travel to Cardiff in Wales to challenge the newly promoted team.

There is a huge disparity in strength between the two teams. Defending champion Arsenal won 5-0 as a guest, winning four consecutive victories at the start of the league.

Arsenal ranks first with a goal difference advantage, and there are two other teams that also won four consecutive games at the beginning.

Liverpool and Watford.

After playing in Cardiff, Martin flew directly from the local international airport to Lisbon to join the Portuguese national team in preparation for the warm-up match against Croatia and the first round of the first UEFA Nations League C match against Italy.

The warm-up match opponent Croatia has a record of playing against each other in the quarter-finals of the World Cup of Fighting Nations. They are relatively familiar with each other. In addition, they are preparing for the UEFA Nations League group stage four days later. There is a high probability that the warm-up match at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon will happen. Mainly focus on running in the lineup.

However, this was the first game for Portugal, the new World Cup champion, after winning the championship, and it received huge attention.

The Stadium of Light was packed more than an hour before kick-off.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Martin and other core players all started.

Before the game started, the Portuguese Football Association held a ceremony to display the World Cup trophy for the team.

"aoaooaooooooo——"

The overwhelming cheers swept the entire Stadium of Light.

Every Portuguese fan present was ecstatic and completely released their energy.

The Croatian fans in the audience were filled with envy, and many of them were even jealous. If they defeated Portugal in the quarter-finals, wouldn't three strikes, five points, and two divided by two mean that their country is the World Cup champion?

……

Portugal and Croatia have sent the vast majority of their main players, but the technical and tactical content is not very high, because both teams need to make tactical and physical reserves for the first UEFA Nations League four days later.

However, Portugal with Martin still created a lot of opportunities despite the sluggish performance of most of the players. Ronaldo and B respectively seized the excellent opportunities created by Martin.

In the second half of the rematch, the two teams began to make personnel adjustments to allow more players to play.

Martin and other players were substituted one after another, preparing to visit the Meazza Stadium to challenge the Italian team in the UEFA Nations League four days later.

Relying on Mandzukic's goal, Croatia finally lost to Portugal 1:2.

Three days later, the Portuguese team took a flight to Milan.

The UEFA Nations League is a group of 55 members of UEFA divided into four groups at four levels ABCD according to FIFA's coefficient ranking.

There are only three teams in each of the four groups of the two levels AB, and there are four teams in each of the four groups of the CD.

The original intention of this event was to replace the international warm-up match, so it is essentially an international A-level warm-up match disguised as an official event.

Portugal, which won the World Cup, has reached the top of the FIFA rankings. Naturally, it is the first level. The draw is in the third group, referred to as Group A3, with Italy and Poland in the same group.

Three days ago, the two teams played a game at home in Poland. The two teams fought hard for 1 minutes and the score was 1:3. This means that Portugal, which is temporarily ranked third in the group, can rank first in the group as long as it defeats Italy at San Siro as a guest. one!

The Portuguese team arrived in Milan on a special plane. Portuguese people who arrived early or were working or studying locally, as well as fans from all over the world who wanted to see the new world champion Portugal, all welcomed the visiting Portuguese team at the international arrival gate by releasing their emotions. .

Martin, who has become the recognized new century football king in today's world football, received the highest level of welcome, with huge shouts coming one after another.

Of course, the fans who came to the international arrivals gate were not completely supportive. There were also local Italian fans who came to show off their power to the Portuguese team, and their harsh boos continued for a long time.

The reporters who arrived early kept pressing the shutter in their hands.

No, there is news material.

Portuguese players have long been accustomed to this kind of battle. They ignored the boos and waved thanks to the fans who supported them.

Of course, the whole team did not completely ignore it, but buried their unhappy emotions in their hearts, and then defeated Italy in the UEFA Nations League group stage tomorrow night, allowing these naysaying fans to deeply feel the dangers of society!

Time passed very quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the Italy VS Portugal match.
