Chapter 495 European Super Cup

The next afternoon, the last three games of the first round of the 2018-2019 Premier League season kicked off one after another. The most watched game was undoubtedly the strong dialogue between Arsenal and Manchester City at home.

This game is the first Premier League match in the post-Wenger era. The Emirates Stadium, which can accommodate 60,000 fans, is full. Emery, who is the head coach of the Arsenal, is full of confidence and wants to lead Arsenal to defeat Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium.

Unfortunately, many times thinking too much is not suitable for the team's performance. Manchester City's overall strength is obviously stronger than Arsenal. Arsenal, who wanted to take advantage of their home court, failed to score goals. Manchester City, who was a guest, created wonderful games one after another while playing steadily. Good opportunity.

Mendy, who was beaten in the Community Shield a week ago, shined in the first round of the Premier League. He assisted Sterling and Bernardo Silva to score, helping the visiting team Manchester City finally beat Arsenal 2:0 and win the league. A good start.

The 10 games in the first round of the 2018-2019 season are all over. Liverpool, with a six-goal difference, ranks first in the league. Chelsea, which defeated Huddersfield as a guest, ranks second with a three-goal difference. Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Watford and Manchester City are tied for third place...

In the second round of the league in the 2018-2019 season, Liverpool was a guest to challenge Crystal Palace, a team in the middle and lower reaches of the league that claims to rob the rich and give to the poor. However, Liverpool has not yet set its mind on Crystal Palace because... there is another matter before that. Liverpool's sixth UEFA Super Cup title of the year.

At 9 a.m. local time in Europe on August 13, the entire Liverpool team took a flight to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, to prepare for the 2018 European Super Cup, which will be held at the Helieckla Stadium the next day, which is the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League champion and A strong dialogue between the Europa League champions.

What’s interesting is that the Champions League champions and Europa League champions in the 2017-2018 season were in the same group in the group stage. Strictly speaking, Atletico Madrid’s ability to win the Europa League championship was largely due to Liverpool’s double defeat of Atletico Madrid at home and away. It gave Atletico Madrid the opportunity to participate in the Europa League as third place in the group. Otherwise, the team participating in the Europa League would be Roma.

At the arrival gate of Lennart Meri International Airport in Tallinn, a large number of Liverpool fans who arrived early were waiting early. Liverpool fans, local Liverpool fans, and a large number of Li Qingren fans from China. The loud cheers almost swept the entire airport. .

Fortunately, the airport and the European Super Cup Organizing Committee officials were well prepared and dispatched a large number of traffic police and security personnel in advance to maintain order on site, otherwise operations would be paralyzed.

Closer to home, a large number of fans at the arrival gate support Li Qing, the winner of the World Cup Golden Ball Award. Looking at it at a glance, almost 50% of the fans support Li Qing, which means that other players and Klopp only account for about 50%. As for Mane, he said enviously: "Hmph! Li is not as handsome as me, so why do so many female fans support him?"

"It's useless to be handsome! Why don't you get eaten by the soldiers? You have to be as strong as me! Do you understand?"

Li Qing, who was wearing sunglasses, said with a smile while waving to the fans at the arrival gate.

Arnold pouted and said: "How do I feel that you are driving, but I have no evidence..."

"Guys who don't have girlfriends, let's go have some fun."

Li Qing launched a wave of soul attacks that ignored defense.

Arnold: "..."

As the airport staff maintained order properly, Liverpool players quickly boarded the bus prepared by the organizer and headed to the five-star hotel in the city center.

Estonia’s land is limited, and its capital is even more limited. The city center is only four kilometers away from the international airport, so the bus took less than fifteen minutes to reach the luxurious Swissotel Tallinn.

Perhaps it was intentional by the organizers. When the Liverpool players got out of the bus, it was like a hotel lobby, and they saw Atletico Madrid players checking in.

The Liverpool players 'entered' the hotel in a mighty manner, coupled with the continuous shouting from the fans at the hotel entrance. Atletico Madrid players who were checking in could easily hear something and turned to look at the hotel entrance.

The players of the two teams looked at each other through the transparent glass door. The media reporters lurking in the hotel lobby were extremely focused and kept pressing the shutter button in their hands to record the beautiful moments in the memory of the camera.

Of course, these reporters hoped to see that the scene of sparks did not appear. Liverpool players came to the lobby and Atletico Madrid players' check-in procedures were basically completed. Therefore, there was no direct contact between the players of the two teams.

However, Liverpool players are obviously more confident. In last year's Champions League group stage, they beat Atletico Madrid home and away. However, Atletico Madrid players felt somewhat guilty towards Liverpool and did not even show ordinary provocation.

The star Griezmann glanced at Li Qing meaningfully. He felt that someone was looking at him and Li Qing raised his head and looked at Griezmann. For some unknown reason, Griezmann took the initiative to look away, like It's like not seeing anything.

Others may not be able to see it, but Li Qing can feel the unwillingness in Griezmann's eyes, but due to his limited personal strength, he feels somewhat lacking in confidence.

Li Qing smiled slightly and had great confidence in the European Super Cup tomorrow night.

Lucas Hernandez and Lemar both looked at Li Qing, their eyes full of envy and... resentment, especially Lucas Hernandez, who was in the Champions League final a month ago. , Li Qing beat him up.

…

Between two and six o'clock in the afternoon, the two sides of the game were conducting pre-match training at the Rielakla Stadium. In the meantime, there were also the head coaches of the two teams and a player who would start the next day's game.

Klopp and Mane are as confident as ever, expressing their full confidence in the upcoming game. Diego Simeone is naturally not to be outdone, saying that the team has put a lot of energy into this game, and the victory at the Ecla Stadium must belong to Atletico Madrid.

Simeone is confident, but the Spanish media is worried.

The Premier League kicked off four days ago. Liverpool defeated West Ham United with six goals at home in the first round three days ago. Li Qing, the top star and top scorer, scored a hat trick and two assists. His good form was impressive. incredible.

On the contrary, the first round of the 2018-2019 La Liga season will not kick off until this weekend, which means that Atletico Madrid has not yet entered a truly intense state of preparation, even if Atletico Madrid coach Simeone appears in the first round of the Premier League. Field Stadium to watch Liverpool's first game of the new season.

Compared with Liverpool, which has adjusted its state to its best, Atletico Madrid's preparations are obviously a little worse.

The Spanish media are worried about Atletico Madrid's prospects, while the English media and the Chinese media are full of confidence in Liverpool. It's not that Liverpool's overall performance is outstanding, but that Li Qing's personal condition is extremely good!

As long as Li Qing is in excellent condition, Liverpool will not lose!

Before the game, the players of the two teams did not initiate a war of words on the Internet, but bored fans started to troll each other online.

Time passed very quickly under such circumstances, and in a blink of an eye it was eight o'clock in the evening on the day of the game, which was the start time of the 2018 European Super League.

For this game that is about the European king of kings, no one has any reservations and puts out the strongest lineup.
