Chapter 474 European Cup Tour

The 2019-2020 Champions League final ended with Arsenal defeating Bayern 3:0, and some players can enter a rare summer vacation.

But it's a bit difficult for players like Martin. After a short break, he has to report to the national team to participate in the 2020 Tour European Cup.

The group Portugal is in is very interesting. It is in Group F with France, Germany and Hungary.

This means that this group has gathered three world champions.

Only Hungary trembled.

Thinking about how He Dehe can stay in the same group with such a team?
Of course, the French and German teams are also a little depressed.

However, starting from the last European Cup in France, the European Cup has expanded. The 24 teams that have advanced to the main draw are divided into six groups. The top two teams in the group directly advance to the top , and the best four third-placed teams can also qualify.

Of the six groups, only Group F has three top teams, and the other five groups have at most two strong teams. This means that even if there are three world champions in Group F, as long as Hungary gets all three points, There is a possibility of qualifying.

In addition, Portugal is not a place without troubles.

None of the three group matches were played in Portugal. On the other hand, Hungary and Germany in the same group could enjoy the home atmosphere.

Closer to home.

Arsenal won the Champions League and won the EFL Cup, League Championship, and FA Cup throughout the 2019-2020 season. The club's senior management planned the championship celebration early.

Although this has been the case in recent years, fans have never disliked it.

Often at this time, the old neighbor Tottenham is particularly envious.

There is an empty showroom over there, and there is no room for championship trophies here.

The huge contrast made Tottenham fans sad again.

There are also some Tottenham fans who can't stand this kind of anger and begin to decisively change their careers and become Arsenal fans.

In this way, you can enjoy various championships with honor every season.

The city-wide parade celebration of winning the championship lasted for about half a day. That night, the Arsenal team held its annual awards ceremony at the five-star hotel it cooperated with.

Arsenal captain Martin once again became the biggest winner, winning the grand prize that met the eligibility criteria.

The Champions League final, which symbolizes the highest level in the world, has come to an end, and the focus of football fans around the world is on the 2020 European Cup.

Portugal international Martin stayed in London for a day, and then took club teammates Ricardo Pereira and Leo on his private plane to Lisbon to participate in the Portuguese national team's national training base on the outskirts of Lisbon to prepare for the European Cup.

What surprised him was that head coach Santos and captain Ronaldo were waiting in the entrance hall of the training base.

But then again, as Portugal's thigh, it can afford such treatment.

He also saw his friends Felix and Ruben Neves.

It is a pity that Dalot has not yet played at Manchester United. The goalkeeper Diogo Costa is very capable, but he has not yet had a chance to become a member of the Porto team, let alone be shortlisted for the national team.

Several of them were rivals at the club level, but they naturally became good brothers again when they came to the national team.

That evening, Portugal head coach Santos held a press conference in the press hall of the training base, announcing that the three Portuguese internationals led by Martin would return to the team and officially compete in the European Cup next month.

Finally, the final 23+3 participating list was announced to the media.

Goalkeepers: Lopez (Lyon), Patricio (Wolves), Rui Silva (Granada)
Defenders: Cancelo (Manchester City), Font (Lille), Pepe (Porto), Ruben Dias (Manchester City), Nuno Mendes (Sporting CP), Guerrero (Borussia Dortmund), Lille Cardo Pereira (Arsenal)
Midfielder: Martin (Arsenal), Palinha (Sporting CP), Ruben Neves (Wolves), B Fee (Manchester United), Moutinho (Wolves), Renato Sanchez ( Lille), William Carvalho (Real Betis)

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid), B (Manchester City), Jota (Wolves), Guedes (Valencia), Leo (Arsenal), Felix (Atletico Madrid)

The candidate list is: Dalot (Manchester United), Oliveira (Porto), Rafa Silva (Benfica).

The positions are defender, midfielder and forward.

As long as there are no injuries to the players on the official 23-man roster, the substitute players will have no chance to participate in this year's European Cup.

It is worth mentioning that the other 23 teams participating in the European Cup Tour also announced their specific waiting lists for the European Cup in the following days.

Before the start of the European Cup, Portugal still has two warm-up games.

With Spain and Italy respectively.

Since Portugal is in Group F, according to the schedule, it is one of the latest games in the first round.

The warm-up match time arranged for this purpose is also very important, so as not to affect the players' physical fitness, but also to maintain a high state of mind.

The first round of the group match against Hungary will be held at 6 pm on June 16 at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. The second round will be four days later at 20 pm on the th at the Allianz Arena in Munich. court.

The final round of competition with the French team will be at 24pm on the th at the Puskas Arena.

The first warm-up match against Spain will be at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium at 6 pm on June 5, and the match against Italy will be at the Dragon Stadium in Porto.

Prior to this, the entire Portuguese team was preparing for warm-up matches and group matches at the national training base.

The tactical system is actually very mature, with Martin and Ronaldo as the core.

If we want to make a precise distinction, Santos' tactics are an offensive and defensive system built with Martin as the absolute core.

The advantage of this is that you don't need to make too many detailed adjustments to the personnel. As long as you play with Martin as the core, you can win every game.

……

As the time comes to June, football fans around the world have turned their focus to the European continent and begun to pay attention to news related to the European Cup tour.

The odds of the Golden Globe and Golden Boot awards that Martin has a high probability of winning are all around 1.0017, which means that if you bet 17 to win , it is better to take this money and deposit it in the bank for a period of time.

Against the background of various rankings and odds adjustments, the 2020 Tour European Cup is getting closer and closer, and the participating teams have also entered the final preparations.

The entire Portugal team flew from Lisbon to Madrid on a special plane to prepare for the warm-up match with Spain at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.

On the day of the game, the Wanda Metropolitan Stadium, which can accommodate 68,000 fans, was nearly full an hour before the game started.

The home team Spain has a traditional 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: De Gea

Defenders: Gaya, Laporte, Ramos, Marcos Llorente

Midfielder: Thiago, Busquets, Koke

Forwards: Ferran Torres, Morata, Olmo
Portugal still uses the usual 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Patricio

Defenders: Cancelo, Ruben Dias, Pepe, Semedo
Midfielder: William Carvalho, Palinha

Avant-garde: B fee, Martin, B seat

Forward: Cristiano Ronaldo

……

With the starting lineups of both sides leaking out, fans who follow the Iberian Peninsula Derby know that it is not too far away from the start of the game.

Of course, fans also know that the two teams will not invest too much energy.

Winning or losing the warm-up match before the start of the European Cup is not important. The core issues are running in as a whole, adjusting the condition and avoiding injuries as much as possible.

At 8:45 pm, the Iberian Peninsula Derby kicked off.

Spain, which plays at home, focuses on stability. However, since Xavi and Iniesta have aged, Spain's ability to control the ball has dropped significantly, and its tactical play has also been adjusted accordingly. It plays as pragmatically as possible while maintaining passing control. Some, pay more attention to efficiency.

Portugal, the favorite to win the championship, is not in a hurry. The lineup will have some changes compared to two years ago.

There are new players in the four lines, and they are all very strong, and their overall value has also increased significantly.

You must know that the entire team of the Fighting Nations World Cup two years ago was worth only 7.35 million euros, of which Martin accounted for 3 million, which means that the remaining 22 players added up to only 4.35 million euros.

Today, two years later, Portugal's total worth reaches 10.37 billion euros.

After deducting Martin's 3.2 million euros, the team still has 7.15 million euros, which can basically be said to have doubled.

As the defending champion of the European Cup and the favorite to win this year's European Cup, Portugal, under Martin's deliberate leadership, plays in an orderly manner without being arrogant or impetuous, and has become a winning team that is very team-oriented.

Spain's offense failed to find space. Thiago, who received the football again, was a little anxious in attacking the left rib. He sent a through ball but William Carvalho saw through it and blocked the route through advance prediction.

Fortunately, the transition from offense to defense was done well. Busquets and Koke were close to Martin immediately, so that Portugal's counterattack from defense to offense could only pass through B seat and B fee.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who is already 35 years old, has lost a lot in speed and explosive power. He cannot compare with two years ago, so Portugal's counterattack speed has not been able to pick up.

But Portugal’s main tactic now is not counterattack, but positional warfare.

Many teams that play against Martin prefer to defend in a defensive position, which means they won't give you space to counterattack.

If you want to score a goal, you must be able to break through dense defense.

It just so happens that Martin has a lot of experience in this area.

Long shots, set pieces.

At only 24 years old, Martin is already the player who has scored the most long-range shots in world football.

His headers and free kicks also rank at the top of the list.

Of course, compared with the efficiency of counterattacks and set-piece goals, it is more difficult to score goals in positional battles.

However, for a player of Martin's level, he is not willing to do anything that is not difficult.

Conquest is the highest level of enjoyment.

Spain's overall defense is doing very well, and head coach Enrique's training is crucial. Spain, which is gradually becoming more civilian, is becoming more and more competitive in his tailor-made tactical system.

It's a pity that they met Portugal led by Martin.

Every hundred secrets must be sparse.

In the 29th minute of the game, Martin played wonderful coordination with Seat B, Palinha, and Semedo on the right. Facing Cork's defense, he made two false shots and dunks in a row, knocking him to the ground.

Everyone thought Martin was going to shoot about 28 meters from the goal.

Unexpectedly, the fake shot turned out to be a real pass. He passed the attacking right rib past the defending Busquets and then passed the ball to the left rib of the penalty area.

Cancelo, who was driving forward at high speed, appeared in the most dangerous area, and it was already too late for Laporte to defend.

Cancelo also adheres to the word "concise" when handling the ball. His non-stop inverted triangle pass was handed over to Ronaldo, who was running in a roundabout way.

Kick the knife down!
The football kicked by Ronaldo with his left foot flew towards the upper right corner of the goal.

Facing a powerful shot from such a close distance, De Gea lacked room to play and could only declare that it was beyond his reach.

The Portuguese fans in the audience were ecstatic and shouted hysterically.

"Cristiano Ronaldo's shooting skills are getting better and better as he gets older. He sent Cancelo's inverted triangle into the goal guarded by De Gea."

Central 5 commentator He Wei was full of praise for Martin again: "But the biggest contributor to this goal is still Martin. His continuous fake shots and real dunks knocked off Cork, creating more space for the next opportunity to operate. The number one player in world football really deserves his reputation!”

Spain, which was lagging behind, was not in a hurry and continued to play steadily.

Portugal, which was leading, was even less anxious. Until the end of the first half, the score displayed on the scoreboard did not change.

0:1
The home team goes first and the away team goes last.

In the second half of the rematch, both sides made certain adjustments to their starting lineups to allow more players to get opportunities to play and find their match status for the European Cup.

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has been adjusted, but Martin has always stayed on the court.

With him, Portugal has a backbone and knows how to play the game.

In the 68th minute, Leo, who came on as a substitute, made continuous breakthroughs on the left rib and won a direct free kick in a very good position.

Martin, the number one football player in the world today, lived up to the expectations of fans around the world. The football he kicked with his golden right foot passed over the head of the jumping wall at high speed. De Gea, who was quick to react, was unable to do anything. .

0:2
This score is also the final score of the game.
