Chapter Eighteen, A Little Embarrassment
Chapter Eighteen, A Little Embarrassment
The second round of the league.
Liverpool returned home to usher in the challenge of Newcastle United.
Newcastle United was actually once a powerhouse in the Premier League.
The strength is very good.
And there are a lot of fans.
There was a movie that became famous in one go.
The protagonist joins Newcastle United.
Newcastle United also had Shearer, the most powerful shooter in English football history.
Although Newcastle's strength has declined over the years.
But the bottom line is still there.
It's still tough in the Premier League.
Belongs to a relatively strong team.
But the end result.
However, many people were both surprised and not surprised.
First is the result.
Liverpool's 3-0 clean at home "073" neatly beheaded Newcastle.
Su Han had one goal and one assist in the game.
Liverpool beat Newcastle United at home.
Winning is normal.
Everyone is not surprised.
Surprisingly.
In this game, Liverpool rotated almost normal main players at home.
in this case.
Still can beat the opponent so easily.
"This Liverpool team is too strong. They have a very complete and strong lineup. Although it is undeniable that the strength of Liverpool has a lot to do with Su Han, but... who makes Su Han so physically fit? They can definitely With Su Han as the core, two equally strong lineups have been created...."
After the game.
Some media commented like this.
After solving Newcastle United cleanly.
Liverpool left their base camp.
I went to Prague, the capital of Czechoslovakia, an Eastern European country.
They weren't there for a business competition.
They are going to the UEFA Super Cup.
UEFA has new regulations this season.
The season begins.
The European Super Cup is no longer fixed in Monaco.
Instead, those stadiums that meet UEFA standards in various cities under UEFA take turns.
It's like the Champions League final.
City to apply.
UEFA review.
The final result will be announced after the review is passed.
Prague's Eden Stadium ended up being the first lucky one to get a taste of it.
it's here.
The two teams that won the European Championship last season competed fiercely, competing for the final European champion trophy!
Against both sides.
They are Champions League winners Liverpool.
And Atletico Madrid from the duck country.
Atletico Madrid can be said to be a great success last season.
Simeone's team won the Europa League.
Also won the La Liga championship.
Speaking of which, Simeone's team also sounds unlucky.
They actually played in the Champions League last season.
The results of it?
Got the third place in the group and fell to the Europa League.
But they finally triumphed in the Europa League.
All the way to the final.
In the final, they defeated Benfica from the Portuguese Super League giants 2-1 and won the Europa League.
Although the gold content of the Europa League is much smaller than that of the Champions League.
But how can it be regarded as the European champion.
And Atletico Madrid was the La Liga champion last season.
Ability to beat Barcelona and Real Madrid to win the championship.
This fully demonstrates the strength of Atletico Madrid.
Definitely not to be underestimated.
But for Liverpool.
There is one more small problem.
That's where the playing field in the Super Bowl has changed.
However, the venues for the UEFA awards and the UEFA Europa League draw have not changed.
Still in Monaco.
So Liverpool were divided into two groups.
On the way to Prague.
While going to Monaco to attend the award ceremony and draw.
Leon replaced Ancelotti to participate in the draw.
But he can't replace the awards.
Because the protagonist of the award is Su Han.
As the core player who led Liverpool to sweep Europe last season.
He is the biggest favorite of this year's UEFA Ballon d'Or.
Many media broke the news before the game.
Su Han will receive the award.
The UEFA Ballon d'Or and the FIFA Ballon d'Or are two different awards...
The former can be regarded as launched by UEFA to compete with FIFA.
Between FIFA and the football federations of all continents, between the football federations of Keyinzhou and the football associations of various countries.
In fact, it is not a relationship between superiors and subordinates.
More of a level relationship.
on many things.
FIFA has no control over UEFA.
Europe is again the center of world football.
So sometimes.
UEFA has more power than FIFA.
And there are many very influential events under UEFA.
Champions League, Euro Cup, Europa League, etc.
For FIFA.
It is really difficult for them to have any real constraints on UEFA.
If it weren't for FIFA's command and the world's most influential sports event—the World Cup.
FIFA may have been made a little transparent by UEFA.
These are things for later.
In short.
FIFA has the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Correspondingly, UEFA launched a UEFA Ballon d'Or.
Although the two awards are not the same.
But it is also very likely to be awarded to the same person.
After all, it is unlikely that the FIFA Ballon d'Or will be awarded to players who have played in other continental leagues.
The degree of attention is not on one registration.
1.5 So this brings up a problem.
If Su Han wants to accept the award, the next day will be the UEFA Super Cup match.
Immediately after receiving the award, Su Han will take a flight across the entire European continent.
Fly from the farthest west to the farthest east.
There is no way to participate in the team's joint training, and this is also a severe test of her physical fitness.
Of course Liverpool protested.
But UEFA said it.
Either get someone to accept the award instead of Su Han, or let him come in person.
Anyway, changing venues is impossible.
Of course, they also said that this is only a temporary phenomenon. Next year, the Super Bowl and the award ceremony will be held in the same city, so that the players will not have to travel back and forth—if he is included in the final list of three candidates... .
