The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 636: A Brand New Competition

"Dip, drip, drip~~~"

Bournemouth's defensive intensity is still better than Newcastle's.

They do not simply rely on the crowd tactics to block, but use the tacit cooperation between the midfield and the backcourt to continuously form local advantages, thus compressing the space for Lee Polo, Hazard, William and others to move, and making them trapped.

In the quagmire of defense.

Although they also paid the price of six players being yellowed, the head coach can always make timely personnel adjustments to 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, thus causing

Red card crisis.

Despite this, at the last moment, one of their players turned from yellow to red and was ejected by the referee...

However, at this time, Chelsea no longer had time to pursue the game. Conte had already replaced Loftus-Cheek and Ampadu, two teenagers, to practice. The score was finally fixed at 6:0.

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

Hazard and Willian were even worse. They averaged 5 shots each, but didn't even score a goal!

Instead, Alonso took advantage of the direct free kick opportunity and created a world wave!

Coupled with the fact that Pedro came on as a substitute, he picked up a big leak from Begovic, his old teammate! -

Chelsea's firepower has weakened, and the other Premier League giants have opened their doors as if they were on fire.

Lukaku scored twice and Morata also contributed his first goal of the season. Manchester United swept away the previous two consecutive losses and defeated last season's biggest dark horse-Burnley 3:0 away from home.

A proud Mourinho smiled as his old enemy Guardiola encountered a big problem.

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

After the collapse of his faith, Benitez finally realized the truth and finally gave up the dignity of being a famous coach. He set up an iron barrel formation at the Etihad and let Aguero, Sterling, De Bruyne and other top attackers.

Helpless.

After a 0:0 draw, the Magpies successfully snatched a precious point from Blue Moon!

With Mane and Firmino scoring a goal each, Liverpool narrowly defeated Leicester City 2:1 away from home.

Arsenal, who were also playing away from home, relied on three goals from Mustafi, Aubameyang, and Lacazette to beat Cardiff City in the last few minutes of the game and get three points with a thrilling 3:2.

.

Tottenham, the last player to play, became the only team to lose.

Although they scored one goal first, they were beaten by Watford twice in the second half and eventually lost the game 1:2.

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

Ranking last is the "Hammer" West Ham United, which did not score a single point.

As for the "Crazy Gang" New Wimbledon, they fought fiercely with the "Seagulls" Brighton for 90 minutes in this round, and finally got a 2:2 draw, with 3 draws and 1 loss, and a score of 3 points.

, currently ranked 15th.

Lee Polo's old club, although it has introduced many young monsters under Wenger's operation, it still needs a long wait for them to realize their potential!

After the fourth round of the league, all Premier League teams announced a 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 originally meaningless and weak national team friendly matches into a new event - the European National Team League, referred to as the UEFA Nations League.

UEFA's 55 member countries will be divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D according to their rankings. There are 12 teams in Level A and Level B, 15 teams in Level C, and 16 teams in Level D.

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

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

The first opponent of the Three Lions is the Matador Army!

Before parting ways, Lipolo sent his blessings to Fabregas, Alonso, Azpilicueta and others:

"May God bless you!"

Laofa, who had already faded out of the national team, got terrible assist data last season because he held Lee Polo's thigh.

Such a dazzling performance forced Spain to recruit him into the team and play in the World Cup as a semi-main force. At this moment, he couldn't smile at all.

He glanced at his old La Masia teammate Pedro, who looked calm, and suddenly felt a little envious.

[Retiring from the national team early is not a bad thing!]

As a new event vigorously promoted by UEFA, the first round of matches certainly attracted attention.

In the first round of each group, there is almost a strong showdown.

For example, Group A1 is Germany vs. France at home, Group A3 is Italy vs. Poland - only Group A2 is relatively close, Switzerland vs. Iceland.

This time with the national team, Lee Polo saw a few slightly unfamiliar faces at the training center, obviously players that Southgate was revisiting after the World Cup.

This is normal. A player's physical condition and financial situation will fluctuate depending on various factors - even Lee Polo cannot maintain 100% peak condition to play every game.

For example, Vardy, who failed to score in the first four rounds, was dropped from the squad.

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

Ashley Young, who had just renewed his contract with Manchester United, was replaced by teammate Luke Shaw due to his sluggish form.

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 selected to replace 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 defensive midfielder, but was directly rejected by Lee Polo.

Facing Spain, with only one Henderson, there is no way to prevent their mercury-laden offensive!

[You can’t rely on me as a super forward to defend in every game, right?]

[As a head coach, can you respect the best player of last season recognized by both FIFA and UEFA?]

Under the leadership of Lee Polo, Henderson himself also stood up and said that the midfielder needed more support and that Nandaemun's single midfielder tactic could only declare bankruptcy!

Nandaemun, who had just won the Hercules Cup, thought that his prestige in the locker room would reach its peak, but he did not expect that he would be taught a lesson by the players in the first training session!

[Negative sentiment from Southgate, +555!]

-

On September 8, after five days of training, the Three Lions arrived at their home stadium, the new Wembley Stadium.

After having a hearty meal at noon and taking a short rest, they ushered in their first opponent in the UEFA Nations League.

From 2008 to 2012, Spain was the unique hegemon in world football and truly created an era!

An hour before the official match, news came from Spain:

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

"He will work hard to recover and try to come back against Croatia in four days!"
