Chapter 498 Qatar World Cup: Stars shine in Ragnarok

Chapter 498 Qatar World Cup: Stars shine in Ragnarok
Real Madrid defeated Frankfurt 2-0 at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium in Finland and won the third European Super Cup in team history.

This championship is also the fourth championship won by Real Madrid in 2022.

Real Madrid, who won the game, took a flight back to Madrid the next morning to prepare for the first round of the 2022-2023 La Liga season against Almeria at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium three days later.

In addition, considering that the 2022 Qatar World Cup will start in late November, the league will enter the offseason from early November, and head coach Ancelotti must plan how to use players.

There are only three months until the start of the World Cup, and no one wants to get injured before the World Cup, which is held every four years.

Especially players over thirty, they know that missing out means missing out forever.

Perhaps it can be said that no one knows what will happen in four years, but players over 30 must know that their state in four years cannot be compared with now.

Try to allow players with quality to get playing opportunities as much as possible, leaving plenty of physical fitness for the core players to participate in the World Cup.

Ancelotti has the confidence that is invincible compared to other teams.

Martin!

The number one player in world football.

He can fit into any lineup and inspire the full fighting power of his teammates.

From the first round of the league, Real Madrid was on full fire.

5：1阿拉维斯、做客5：2莱万特、做客2：0皇家贝蒂斯。

The end of August is the draw ceremony for the 2022-2023 UEFA Champions League group stage and the UEFA Best Player Award Ceremony.

Compared with the previous Champions League group draws, this year there is a super death group.

Group C wins for Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan and Plzen

The victory of Plzen from the Czech Super League is destined to accompany the prince to study. The other three teams are all well-known big clubs in today's football.

Although Barcelona lost its top star Messi this summer, the foundation remains.

Inter Milan is showing signs of recovery and its overall performance is quite good.

Not to mention Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga hegemon and the Champions League super team.

These three teams are drawn into the same group, which means that the qualifying situation will be extremely fierce.

A little bad performance and one of the teams will move to the Europa League.

Real Madrid, where Martin plays, had good luck in the draw and were drawn in Group F with Red Bull Leipzig, Shakhtar Donetsk and Celtic.

But as the best football player on the planet, it doesn't matter who he draws, the result is the same anyway.

Qualify and advance.

Group D can barely be regarded as a death group. Last season's Europa League champions Frankfurt, Tottenham, Sporting CP and Marseille were drawn together.

Except for Tottenham, whose overall strength is slightly stronger, the other three teams are all in the same league.

Judging from the intensity of competition, it is even more intense than Group C.

The Champions League group draw has settled, and the Europa League group draw follows closely.

If it were placed in other seasons, it might not have received much attention, but today's Europa League participating teams have several high-profile teams, and the level of attention it has received has increased exponentially.

Arsenal, Roma, Real Betis, Manchester United, Real Sociedad, Lazio, Monaco...

Some media predict that the knockout rounds of the Europa League this season will be more intense.

One of the three giants in Group C will inevitably participate in the knockout rounds of this season's Europa League with third place in the group. Any of the four teams in Group D will participate in the knockout rounds of this season's Europa League with third place in the group. A very explosive existence.

But compared with the draw of the Champions League group stage, the overall strength of the Europa League participating teams is uneven, and there will almost never be a dead group. At most, two teams will be drawn in the same group to increase the attraction.

The most eye-catching teams are Roma and Manchester United.

The former is the team that Mourinho took charge of last summer. This summer, it won the first UEFA Cup championship for Roma and occupied a lot of power.

Manchester United is a team with its own traffic, and with Ronaldo at the helm, the attention it receives will increase significantly.

What makes fans feel a little depressed is that both teams are first-tier teams and cannot be drawn into the same group.

Otherwise Mourinho will have to face his old club Manchester United.

Closer to home.

The Europa League group draw has ended and the process has entered into UEFA's best player.

Everyone knows there will be no suspense about this award.

Martin, the number one player in world football, led Real Madrid to achieve four crowns with his outstanding performance, becoming the most eye-catching football club in Europe.

As a star player, Martin naturally deserves to be the best football player in Europe.

Martin, who attended with his wife Savannah Blade, went to the podium under the watchful eyes of the audience and received the silver trophy symbolizing UEFA's best player from UEFA President Ceferin.

Although it was a very ordinary acceptance speech, the guests at the scene listened very carefully.

I hope I can learn some ways to become stronger from Martin's 'classic remarks'.

……

The World Cup in Qatar starts in late November, and the usual international match days in September, October, and November are cancelled, and preparations are made more than 11 days before the start of the World Cup.

Major leagues and cup competitions will continue as usual.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti continues to make adjustments to the lineup, but the team's performance is as outstanding as ever.

With Martin's excellent performance, Real Madrid continued their winning streak.

Maintain a complete victory in the league and Champions League.

截止到第13轮联赛，皇马以13胜0平0负积39分高居榜首，领先10胜1平2负积31分的巴塞罗那排名第二。

Real Sociedad, Athletic Bilbao, Atletico Madrid, Real Betis, Osasuna, Rayo Vallecano, and Villarreal ranked 23rd to 17th with 3-10 points.

Starting with Real Sociedad almost means that there will be no dispute about the La Liga title this season.

Although from a points perspective, Barcelona, ​​which is eight points behind, still has a certain chance, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Barcelona is just keeping the second place in the league.

The Champions League group stage also saw six consecutive victories, qualifying first in the group, and Red Bull Leipzig from the Bundesliga ranked second in the group with 1 points.

The other 14 top teams in the group that advance to the last are: Napoli, Porto, Bayern, Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester City and Benfica.

Second in the group: Liverpool, Club Brugge, Inter Milan, Frankfurt, AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain.

Since Ajax, Leverkusen, Barcelona, ​​Sporting CP, Sevilla and Juventus respectively finished third in the Champions League group, they were able to participate in this season's Europa League 1/8 finals play-offs, which is the same as The eight second-legged groups of the Europa League play two legs.

The draw takes place after the Champions League 1/8 finals draw.

欧洲当地时间11月7日中午十二点，2022-2023赛季欧冠1/8决赛抽签仪式在欧足联你的总部尼翁进行。

Real Madrid, where Martin plays, was very lucky and met Liverpool, their opponent in last season's Champions League final.

This kind of draw is also very UEFA.

There was an uproar at the draw, but Florentino, the president who represented Real Madrid, remained calm. He knew that signing Martin would mean championships and honors.

No matter who is drawn in the knockout round, the team that advances will be Real Madrid!
The Liverpool players who were about to have lunch at the Melwood training ground suddenly lost their appetite. Starting from the coaching staff, to the players and even the staff, they all let out a long sigh.

They know that advancing to the top 16 is the team's best result in the Champions League this season.

In addition to the entertaining matchup between Real Madrid and Liverpool, the Champions League 1/8 finals also featured many strong matchups.

Paris VS Bayern, Dortmund VS Chelsea, AC Milan VS Tottenham.

The Europa League 1/8 finals play-offs that took place later also produced amazing strong dialogue.

The most interesting draw is Manchester United VS Barcelona.

When this draw came up, the venue was surprisingly quiet.

Barcelona President Aymeric Laporte's expression showed no change, and the new CEO Richard Arnold, who was attending on behalf of Manchester United, was completely numb, and the corners of his mouth were still twitching slightly.

I only became CEO in February this year after Sandoko resigned. I didn't expect...it would be so miserable.

Not only did they not finish in the top four in the league, but they also encountered the beast Barcelona in the 1/8 finals of the Europa League, which was simply unbearable.

On November 11, Real Madrid played its last game at home before the offseason before the 10 Qatar World Cup.

Real Madrid's soldiers were in hot form, beating the visiting Cadiz 6:0 cleanly.

With the end of the game, the team will be disbanded on the spot, and the players will take flights to hotels in the cities where their respective national teams gather to prepare for the group matches of the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

In April this year, the World Cup group draw was completed in Doha, Qatar.

Group A: Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherlands

Group B: England, Persia, Sam, Wales
Group C: Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Poland

Group D: France, Australia, Denmark, Tunisia
Group E: Spain, Costa Rica, Sakura Country, Germany

Group F: Belgium, Canada, Morocco, Croatia

Group G: Brazil, Serbia, Switzerland, Cameroon
Group H: Portugal, Ghana, Uruguay, South Korea
……

Martin took a flight from Madrid to Lisbon to prepare for the first round of the group match against Ghana with the Portuguese national team.

But before that, there is a warm-up match against Nigeria at the Stadium of Light.

This warm-up match is extremely targeted, in order to better face Ghana, a team from Africa.

As major leagues enter the offseason for the Qatar World Cup, major media are also focusing on the World Cup, which is about to start in late November.

Compared with the regular coverage of the World Cup in the fighting countries four years ago, the World Cup in Qatar has an extremely popular gimmick.

【Stars Shine, Ragnarok】

It’s easy to understand why stars shine. In every World Cup, a large number of stars will showcase their talents on the World Cup stage.

Fight bloody battles for the championship with the highest symbolic value, reach the end, and ascend to the highest podium!

The reason is simple. Many superstars in world football have reached the twilight years of their careers.

Ragnarok is caused by the fact that many football superstars will most likely usher in the last World Cup of their careers.

For example, Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo is 37 years old, Argentina captain Messi is 35 years old, and the strongest assistant Di Maria is 34 years old.

Croatian captain Modric is 37 years old, German captain Neuer is 36 years old, and Muller is 33 years old.

Poland captain Lewandowski is 34 years old, and Uruguayan double guns Suarez and Cavani are both over 35 years old.

Wales captain Bale, who is participating in the World Cup for the first time, is also 33 years old.

Ronaldo is 41 years old four years after the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup.

Today's Portugal is not as shabby as Ronaldo was in his prime.

There is an explosion of young talent.

The post-95s generation, led by Martin, take on important responsibilities, and there are also many young players born in the 00s who have attracted much attention.

In this context, there is a high probability that Ronaldo will not be shortlisted.

Not only the fans who watched the live broadcast of the game saw that Ronaldo was no longer young, he himself also noticed the decline in physical functions.

Once he could leap high and stay in the air for a certain period of time, the 37-year-old Ronaldo's jumping ability, staying in the air and speed have all declined significantly. Even his praised shooting skills have also declined seriously.

Therefore, before participating in the World Cup in Qatar, Ronaldo gave a hint in an interview with the media.

Before Martin was born, Argentina captain Messi was also 35 years old. Although his physical function has also declined, his position does not require excellent speed and explosive power like a forward. He can use his rich game experience Playing against a high level of intelligence that ordinary players don't have, Martin is the only one. Even if he performs well, he won't be able to taste the taste of the World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or again.

He has the same idea as Ronaldo and plans to retire from the national team after this World Cup to give young people some opportunities.

Di Maria is not as able to catch up as he was when he was young. The increase in age has brought about an essential decline in function. Even if the national team does not have another 'angel' to top it, it is inevitable to retire from the national team after this World Cup. .

Croatian captain Modric is 37 years old and is currently the only superstar in Croatia. Even if he is 37 years old, no one can replace his role in the national team. However, for the future of the national team, he has planned to step down and make way for capable talents. The young players need to exercise a lot.

German captain Neuer is 36 years old and vice-captain Muller is 33 years old. They will be 40 and 37 years old in the next World Cup. According to international practice, older players from strong teams have to make way for younger players.

Lewandowski is 34 years old, and the national team does not have any young players who can catch up. However, the forward position is very special. It is difficult to score goals with experience when you are too old, and the overall strength of the Polish team is not very strong.

As it becomes more difficult for Lewandowski to score goals, the Polish team, which needs goals to win, will be in trouble. Whether it can participate in the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup four years later is still a huge unknown.

The 35-year-old Suarez and Cavani have suffered frequent injuries as they age in the past two years. The older they get, the longer the recovery period. They will both be 39 years old in four years and there is a possibility that they will not participate in the next World Cup. Much bigger than Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Modric, etc.

The 33-year-old Bell is the legendary star and captain of Wales, but the overall strength of this team is very weak at the European level. You must know that Manchester United superstar Ryan Giggs failed to lead the team to the World Cup, and even the European Cup was not Extravagant hope.

The last time Wales participated in the World Cup was 1958 years ago in 64.

Being able to participate in this World Cup has a lot to do with luck. In the World Cup group stage, they beat the Czech Republic by 1 point to advance to the play-offs.

First, they narrowly defeated Austria in the play-off semi-finals, and then narrowly defeated Ukraine in the final.

It can be said that it took five hurdles and six generals to reach the World Cup.

From this we can easily see how difficult it is for Wales to qualify for the World Cup.

The most important thing is that Bell, whose condition has improved, has already planned to develop into professional golf. He is no longer as enthusiastic about football as he was when he was young. There is a high probability that Bell will announce his retirement after the expiration of his contract with Real Madrid.

Against this background, this World Cup in Qatar incorporates many sensational factors.

Football fans from all over the world are focusing all their attention on Qatar, waiting for the upcoming Qatar World Cup.

As the time comes to mid-November, the premium for tickets to the Qatar World Cup is getting higher and higher.

A large number of middle-aged fans who have a financial foundation are here to watch the stars they have loved since their youth play in the last World Cup of their careers.

Even if the premium is ten or fifty times, we won’t hesitate.

Youth has no price, madness is in the moment.
