Chapter 464: Crazy 2019, aiming for the 2020 European Cup championship!

Chapter 464: Crazy 2019, aiming for the 2020 European Tour Championship!

Before the start of the 2019-2020 Premier League season, Arsenal first defeated Manchester City in the Community Shield, and then easily defeated Chelsea in the European Super Cup, winning six crowns for four consecutive years.

If we have the last laugh in the Club World Cup at the end of the year, we will create a magical record of winning seven crowns for four consecutive years!
Of course, there were also amazing records set before that.

It's just that every time such a record is added, it will be very difficult for latecomers to catch up.

You know, the competition in modern football is quite fierce.

Before Martin came along, no team had been able to defend the Champions League since its restructuring.

In recent seasons, except for Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1, which have been won by one dominant team, the competition for league titles in the Premier League and La Liga has been quite fierce.

The start of the new season is getting closer and closer, and the high investment in major leagues has reached new highs.

Nicolas Pepe, who was originally supposed to join Arsenal, ended up joining Inter Milan, which is still wealthy.

In addition, Arteta is interested in Rafael Leao, another Lille player who came from the youth training of Sporting CP.

Thirty-five million euros.

Martin is quite impressed with the new teammates who joined the team.

In the U17 Triwizard Tournament that year, Leo played on behalf of Sporting CP U17 and performed very well, but it was a pity that he was defeated by his more dazzling self.

But what impressed Martin the most was Leo, who originally became famous in AC Milan and became a big player.

Extremely fast, skilled with his feet, and has a strong ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal.

Manchester United also has a key deal before the start of the new season.

17 million euros to buy Welsh devil Daniel James from Swansea.

There are many players who have been rumored to have transfer scandals with several other Premier League championship teams, but there has been no substantial progress.

Against this background, the 2019-2020 Premier League season kicked off at Anfield.

Liverpool, which finished third in the Premier League with the highest score last season, defeated visiting newly promoted Norwich City 4:1.

The game that started later was at the London Bowl. The home team West Ham defeated Manchester City, who had the highest score in the Premier League last season, 0:5.

Defending champion Arsenal visit St James' Park in the first round to challenge Newcastle United, who have returned to the Premier League.

After ninety minutes of fierce fighting, the visiting team Arsenal easily won the game 3:0.

Martin once again dominated the game with two shots and one pass.

What makes Arsenal fans happy is that Saka and Leo performed well as substitutes. The combination of speed and technology is amazing.

虽然首轮受净胜球劣势影响未能登上榜首，但是在接下来的三轮联赛分别4：1大胜伯恩利、做客2：0击败利物浦、5：0大胜热刺。

Manchester City was tied 2:2 by Tottenham at home in the second round, which allowed Arsenal to beat Manchester City and Liverpool to the top of the league.

I had good luck in the Champions League group draw, being drawn in Group C with Atalanta of Serie A, Shakhtar Donetsk of Uzbekistan and Croatian League team Dinamo Zagreb.

Not good news for Atalanta, Shakhtar Donetsk and Dinamo Zagreb.

They can only do their best to compete for the remaining qualifying spots in the Champions League group. If they are not careful, they may not even have a chance to move to the Europa League.

The biggest focus after the draw was the comments of UEFA's best players.

Although it is said that there will be no surprises in this award, when Martin was re-elected, he still ranked first in the trending searches on major social platforms.

The most popular person in the sports world.

Well-deserved reputation!

With the victory over Tottenham in the fourth round, international football entered the international match day.

Martin needs to represent Portugal in the two rounds of the 2020 European Cup qualifiers.

Both games were away games, and they easily defeated their opponents due to the excellent performance of Martin and Ronaldo.

The first was a 4:2 win over Serbia as a guest, and then a 5:0 massacre of Lithuania.

The group won four consecutive games and returned to the top of the list.

At the end of the international match day in September, the major European clubs have entered into a consecutive week of double matches.

Arsenal, with Martin at the helm, performed well overall and did not see the impact of losing Mahrez and De Ligt on the team this summer.

The league, the Champions League group stage, and the third round of the EFL Cup were all won without bloodshed, showing an excellent competitive state.

Football media, football self-media bloggers, and fans around the world once again spoke on social platforms.

[When will the Arsenal dynasty end? 】

[Is it Martin Qiang? Or is the shooter stronger? 】

[Terrifying dominance, who can be the David who defeats Goliath? 】

[The invincible Gunners have become invincible in world football. 】

……

As the person involved, Martin also saw a large number of fans' comments on social platforms, and he replied calmly: Calm down.

His comment received thousands of replies instantly.

As the initiator, Martin naturally did not continue to reply. He exited the social software and clicked on King Pesticide.

Savannah Blade has recently become obsessed with this game. Thieves like to play Zhen Ji and Wang Zhaojun. Martin uses Pei Qinhu's [Martin Skin] to protect the middle while carrying the whole game.

Let’s get back to business, ending the games in September and early October, followed by the international break in October.

European Cup qualifiers.

They won the home game against Luxembourg and the away game against Ukraine.

Martin contributed four goals and three assists.

As of the six games in Group B of the European Cup qualifiers against Ukraine as a guest, Portugal, which has won six consecutive victories, qualified from the group two rounds in advance and directly entered next year's European Cup.

After playing two European Cup qualifiers on the international break, there are consecutive appearances in the league, EFL Cup and Champions League group stages.

Martin, who has always been in very good health, was not affected in any way and performed as well as before.
His teammates suffered from some physical fatigue and their performance in the game declined.

Often at this time, Martin's role is perfectly reflected.

Outstanding performances often result in morale-boosting goals at the most dangerous moments.

Morale is an invisible and intangible thing, but the key is that it has a huge impact on the game.

It's like a chicken-blooded performance, which directly affects the final trend of the game.

In the words of Sky TV commentator Andy Gray: "Everyone is saying that whoever wins Martin wins the championship! It turns out they are right."

They also scored all three points in the two Champions League group matches, qualifying from Group C two rounds in advance. As long as they get one point in the next round, they can ensure that they will advance to the top 16 of this season's Champions League as the first place in Group C.

The EFL Cup continues to advance rapidly, reaching the fifth round, which is the quarter-finals.

The draw opponent is Aston Villa, who have returned to the top flight.

In the eyes of many people, this is another opponent who is 100% qualified to advance.

The other three quarter-finals are Oxford United VS Manchester City, Everton VS Leicester City, and Manchester United VS Colchester United.

The November international break is the remaining two rounds of Euro 11 qualifying matches.

Portugal has qualified early and did not call up Ronaldo and Martin in the last two rounds.

Despite this, they still defeated Lithuania 6-0 at home and defeated Luxembourg 2-0 as a guest, ending the 2020 European Cup qualifiers with eight consecutive group stage wins.

A total of 20 teams in ten groups that directly entered the finals have been settled, and the remaining four places will participate in the play-offs based on the teams from the four levels of the UEFA Nations League.

Since many teams have already advanced to the finals through the European Cup qualifiers, the play-off spots are deferred to the teams with the best results in the same level league.

In UEFA's draw ceremony, the 16 teams with direct play-off qualifications and deferred qualifications were divided into four groups.

A: Iceland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania

B: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovakia, Ireland, Northern Ireland

C: Scotland, Norway, Serbia, heterochromatic columns
D: The matches between Georgia, Macedonia, Kosovo and Belarus are different from the traditional home and away games. The four teams in each group are determined based on the winning and losing scores, goal scores, and winning and losing differences in the UEFA Nations League in the 2018-2019 season. 1~ The front and back rankings of No. 55 prepare for the single elimination round.

For example: A1 and A4, A2 and A3 play in a single elimination round.

The winners of the two knockout rounds will advance to a final, with the winner advancing to next year's European Cup.

The same goes for the remaining three groups, each with one main draw spot.

The competition will start during the international break in March next year.

The time has come to December, and it’s time for the famous flowers that symbolize the various awards in world football to have their owners.

The first award announced was the European Golden Boy Award. Portuguese player Felix, who moved to Atletico Madrid this summer, was elected over Sancho and Donnarumma.

Then came the top three candidates for FIFA World Player of the Year.

It’s no different than in past years.

Martin, Ronaldo, Messi.

Before Arsenal's departure for the 2019 Club World Cup in Qatar, the final winner of the European Ballon d'Or, founded by France Football, was announced.

There is no surprise in this award. With his excellent performance throughout the year, Martin once again beat Ronaldo and Messi to be elected, and he also tied Messi with winning the European Golden Ball for four consecutive years from 2009 to 2012 by being elected for four consecutive years. Award/FIFA Ballon d'Or.

The mobile Internet era is the era of social platforms.

The winner of the European Ballon d'Or has just been announced, and Martin once again ranks among the top three most searched on major social platforms.

【I said! Martin will dominate direct football for at least another ten years! 】

[Elected for four consecutive years! Not counting the FIFA Ballon d'Or, Martin beat Messi and Platini and became the first person to win the award consecutively! 】

[Worth pondering: Is the gun king standing at the top of football a blessing or a curse for modern football? 】

……

Among them [worth pondering] resonated with a large number of fans.

After all, there are more fans outside Arsenal.

Among them, the majority are fans of the Premier League except Arsenal.

Except for the fact that it is difficult for strong teams outside the Premier League to compete with Arsenal in the Champions League, they can still compete for many championships.

Premier League teams are in particular pain.

The league championship, EFL Cup championship, and FA Cup championship are all monopolized by Arsenal. The only championship that can compete is the Europa League championship.

For this reason, the champions of the Europa League for three consecutive seasons have been Premier League teams.

Regarding survival, there is no way but to do your best.

2016-2017赛季冠军是曼联，2017-2018赛季冠军是利物浦，2018-2019赛季冠军切尔西……

It is also so clever that some fans laughed and said that Manchester United and Tottenham really have "no bottom line" in order to try for the championship.

The draw of the two teams in the Champions League group stage was actually pretty good, but Tottenham was unlucky and was drawn in Group B with Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan and PSV Eindhoven. If nothing else, they could beat Inter Milan and PSV Eindhoven and finish second in the group. qualify.

Unexpectedly, in the last round of the last round, PSV, which was leading by two goals at home, was forced to score two goals in a row, and its ranking changed from second to third, giving the opportunity to qualify to Inter Milan.

Manchester United's showmanship is even more speechless.

The group draw can be said to be quite impressive, with Juventus, Valencia and Young Boys in the same group.

Based on strength, Manchester United is firmly in the top two.

The results of it?
At the end of the six rounds of the group stage, they actually accumulated 2 points with 2 wins, 2 draws and 8 losses. They ranked third after Juventus and Valencia and moved to the Europa League in the second half of the season.

As a result, many fans criticized Manchester United for trying hard to try for the championship.

Because based on strength, Manchester United can almost be said to be the favorite to win the championship among the teams that advance to the top 32.

The most criticism came from London, but Solskjaer, who was coaching Manchester United for the first time, didn't care.

The championship is more important than anything else.

Closer to home.

The Arsenal team flew from London to Doha on the 14th to prepare for a Club World Cup semi-final against Monterrey, who advanced to the semi-finals. The winner will advance to compete with the winner of Flamengo VS Al Hilal for the final championship. .

The game hasn't even started yet, and the major media and fans have already 'spoiled' it.

Arsenal will inevitably eliminate Monterrey, the champions of North and Central America, without any blood. In the final, Arsenal will also have a high probability of winning the last one, setting a new record for consecutive Club World Cup wins.

I have to say that these media and fans are still quite discerning.

The Arsenal team arrived in Doha and received a warm welcome from local fans. The preparations before the game were of the highest standard. Naturally, the players' competitive status does not need to be said.

The first semi-finals of the Club World Cup are Copa Libertadores champions Flamengo and the host representative team Al Hilal.

The two teams fought for ninety minutes, with the stronger Flamengo defeating their opponent 3:1.

One day later, another semi-final started at the Khalifa International Stadium.

Under Martin's leadership, Arsenal defeated Monterrey 4-0 in the semi-finals and met Flamengo in the final.

At 12 pm local time on December 21, a third or fourth place final will be held at the Khalifa International Stadium.

The two teams fought hard for ninety minutes and finally ended in a draw with a score of 2:2.

There was no success in overtime, and the two teams had to enter a brutal penalty shootout.

Monterrey made four of five free throws and Al Hilal made three of five free throws. In the end, Monterrey won the third place in the 2019 Club World Cup.

At 6 pm the next day, the final of this year’s Club World Cup kicked off at the Khalifa International Stadium.

Both teams are full of main players, but Flamengo obviously cannot compare with Arsenal in terms of lineup.

Only half an hour into the game, Arsenal has already penetrated the opponent's door for the fourth time and can be regarded as winning the 2019 Club World Cup in advance.

The remaining time naturally became garbage time, and Arsenal, who had an overall advantage in strength, did not go for a massacre.

In the end, Arsenal defeated Flamengo 4:1, winning the Club World Cup for four consecutive years and setting another astonishing record that countless teams can only dream of.

Seven crowns for four consecutive years!

You must know that Barcelona, ​​which previously notified European football, only won six championships in all competitions in 2009.

Affected by the fact that the Premier League team can participate in the EFL Cup, Arsenal theoretically participates in seven competitions, but in terms of gold content, it is equivalent to the six crowns won by Barcelona in 2009.

But Arsenal's fear lies in winning seven trophies for four consecutive years.

Martin, the star player, was once again pushed to the top of the hot search list and became a household name in football.

Football is truly the number one sport in the world. It has received extremely high attention. It is also the top earner in the sports world. It is also the focus of reports by other entertainment and fact-based media.

Invisibly, Martin's popularity around the world has once again increased...

Arsenal, who won seven crowns, flew back to London on a special plane at noon the next day to party with the fans.

Head coach Mikel Arteta gave the team two days off before preparing for the last two games of 2019 on the devilish schedule after Christmas.

Challenge Bournemouth as a guest and Chelsea at home.

The last game of three games a week is already entering 2020. They will face the challenge of Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium on the evening of New Year's Day.

However, the focus of the major media is on Arsenal's last two games in 2019.

Prior to this, I won all the competitions I participated in.

Arsenal will set a new record if they can beat Bournemouth and Chelsea.

Win all competitions throughout the calendar year!

And all battles were resolved within ninety minutes!
Martin and Ricardo Pereira also set two other magical records incidentally.

Throughout 2019, whether it was a club event or a national team event, we maintained victory in all competitions.

Rafael Leo is relatively depressed. The national team has enjoyed victory throughout the year. However, the club level was affected by the overall strength of the first half of the season playing for Lille and did not have the opportunity to share this magical experience with Martin and Ricardo Pereira. Amazing record.
