Chapter 492 Champions League Opener
Time passed quickly, and September soon came.
The transfer window was closed. Although Cai Jian had no job this time, it was still very lively.
For example, Hazard's transfer and Ajax's two heroes' departure.
After the transfer window closed, football fans focused on the five major leagues and the Champions League.
Among them, the Champions League is undoubtedly more concerned. Last season, Lu Yunlong led Manchester City to the Champions League championship, which made many Chinese fans fall into the Champions League.
It is mid-September, and the first game of the Champions League group stage is finally about to begin.
Several of these games have attracted much attention, such as the match between Atletico Madrid and Juventus in Group D.
The match between Naples and Liverpool is also highly concerned, as is the case with the death group of Group F, and the strong dialogue between Dortmund and Barcelona is also very exciting.
Relatively speaking, the attention paid to the match between Chelsea and Valencia is less.
There were Chinese players in several of the games, and the Sports Channel broadcasts the match between Dortmund and Barcelona.
In the Champions League final last season, Barcelona, where Xue Yang played for, lost the game again.
This made many Chinese fans feel sorry for him, and in fact he performed well in that game.
Unfortunately, I met Lu Yunlong, who performed better. After that game, Xue Yang gained a lot of fans.
However, there is another game, which is also a highly-watched game.
This game is Paris Saint-Germain's home match against Real Madrid, which is Hazard's first European game since joining Real Madrid.
The forward combination of Hazard, Benzema and Bale is actually quite powerful.
So this game is very concerned, and even Cai Jian is very concerned about this game.
Because Inter Milan's Icardi joined Paris Saint-Germain on loan, although Cai Jian trusted Wang Yuanjie very much, he was still a little worried.
Some fans believe that Icardi and Wang Yuanjie can coexist, and the head coach can change the formation 4-4-2.
But Cai Jian knew this was unlikely. After all, Icardi's Wang Yuanjie's style of playing is still a bit conflicting.
Everyone recognizes Paris Saint-Germain as a wealthy family, but more people think that Paris Saint-Germain cannot beat Real Madrid.
Even if Ronaldo has already gone to Juventus, this is a very helpless thing.
Of course, because Neymar will miss this game, Neymar is also having trouble this season.
After Paris Saint-Germain was reversed last season, Neymar was suspended for three games by UEFA for inappropriate remarks on social media.
And in this transfer window, Neymar's transfer was a hot topic.
But in the end, Neymar stayed at Paris Saint-Germain, and he was also criticized by fans.
However, dramatic, at the end of the game, it was really because of his barb, which helped Paris Saint-Germain to win the final victory.
In addition to Neymar, Mbappe was also sure to miss the game.
This is because he was injured in the league before and was unable to participate in today's game.
The sports channel does not have a live broadcast on this game, and fans who want to watch the game can only watch it through the online platform.
"Hello everyone, everyone, welcome to watch today's live broadcast. Today is the first match of the Champions League A group, with Paris Saint-Germain playing against Real Madrid at home." Lou Yichen commented on the opening.
"Although today is Paris Saint-Germain's home court, they are not in good condition today."
"Because of the suspension, Neymar was absent, and Mbappe also missed the game due to injury."
"Losing two important players, Paris Saint-Germain's strength will definitely be damaged."
"In contrast, Real Madrid's situation is relatively better."
"And with Hazard's joining, Real Madrid is definitely worth looking forward to this season." Liu Yue continued to comment.
"At present, Real Madrid remain unbeaten in the La Liga so far."
"I'll introduce the starting lineup of both sides. First of all, Real Madrid has given a 4-3-3 formation:
Goalkeeper: 1 Courtois;
Defenders: 23 Mendy, 3 Militon, 5 Varane, 2 Kavajal;
Midfielder: 8 Tony Cross, 14 Casemiro, 16 J Ronaldo;
Forwards: 7 Hazard, 9 Benzema, 11 Bale."
"Then Paris Saint-Germain, the official gave a 4-3-3 formation:
Goalkeeper: 1 Navas;
Defenders: 14 Bernat, 3 Jinpembé, 2 Thiago Silva, 12 Munier;
Midfielder: 6 Veratti, 5 Makinios, 27 Idrisa Guy;
Forwards: 7 Mbappe, 9 Wang Yuanjie, 19 Saravia."
Seeing that Wang Yuanjie was on the stage, Cai Jian felt much more relieved.
He was really worried that Icardi would steal Cai Jian's position. In terms of strength, Icardi is definitely not as good as Cai Jian.
Moreover, in terms of football style, Wang Yuanjie must be more eye-catching.
However, Icardi's luck is indeed OK, and he can always get closer to some luck balloons.
The agent Cai Jian definitely hopes that Paris Saint-Germain can win, but it seems that they are indeed disadvantageous at the moment.
Because the two main players missed the game, Paris Saint-Germain's strength must have been damaged.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
There were a lot of spectators on site, and this game was so eye-catching.
Most of them think that Real Madrid is more dominant, but in fact the two sides are evenly matched.
Even Paris Saint-Germain has a bit of an advantage, and the players are very hard-working.
What Paris Saint-Germain wants to win the most today is probably goalkeeper Navas.
As a former Real Madrid goalkeeper, Navas has actually always performed very well.
But he just couldn't compete for Courtois, and eventually he chose to leave the team and join Paris Saint-Germain.
Although it can't be said openly, Navas really wants to win.
Proving himself as a better goalkeeper made him highly motivated.
Soon Real Madrid launched an attack and the football came to Bale's feet on the right.
Bale dribbled the ball to the right outside the penalty area, and he looked at the position of his teammates in the penalty area.
He kicked the football with his right foot, and he chose to sweep the football into the penalty area.
If you want to find striker Benzema, if this ball is really passed, it may be a goal.
Moreover, Bale passed the ball well, and he was very sure of both accuracy and timing.
But this is not a problem for goalkeeper Navas. He chose to attack decisively and actually hugged the football in advance.
It stopped Real Madrid's dangerous attack, but fortunately he was decisive enough.
Cai Jian also regrets Navas. This goalkeeper who should have been respected has indeed failed to be respected by Real Madrid.
They chose to trust Courtois, and Navas was really not inferior to Courtois in terms of performance.
