The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 has now been moved to the archives. Argentina is back on top of the world after 36 years and Lionel Messi has increasingly cemented his name on the sport’s Olympus. but now, It’s time to get back to thinking about everyday football, with the return of the National Leagues. The first to leaveAs usual, The Premier League would be that – From the annual tradition – He will take the field on December 26thon boxing day, to Boxing Day. The origin of this name goes back to the mid-nineteenth century, when in England it was customary to give gifts or ideas to employees or poorer social classes on Boxing Day, all contained in chests – can, in fact, in English -. with the past years December 26th began to be the day the same workers devoted their time to footballchallenging each other at the amateur level and then, starting in 1888, after the birth of the First Division – the current Premier League – also at the professional level. The first official match in the history of English footballIn fact, It was disputed the same day Boxing Day And watch Sheffield F.C. meet Hallam F.C. in 1860 when the home side triumphed 2-0. But for now, let’s go back to the present day.
the program – The 17th day program will be divided between 26th, 27th and 28th December: The classic British football event will start with Lunch match At 13.30, Tottenham, led by Antonio Conte, will meet Brentford. Next, Crystal Palace take the field at home to Fulham, while Wolverhampton visit Everton. An interesting challenge is also between Leicester and Newcastle, while the last match scheduled for 16:00 will be between Southampton and Brighton, led by Roberto De Zerbi. At 18:30, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will take the field to challenge Aston Villa. to close a program Boxing Day There will be Arsenal leaders: Arteta’s team, on stage at the Emirates Stadium, will take on West Ham. On the 27th it will be Chelsea’s turn: 18:30 am Blues He will play with Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge. At 21:00, to wrap up the daily schedule, Manchester United will be at Old Trafford against Nottingham Forest. And the day concludes on the 28th, when Leeds host Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City team.
Arsenal on the ball, the haunt of the city – Pitted on the seventeenth, let’s take a step back. The Premier League standings see Arsenal ahead of everyone else, +5 against Manchester City. Arteta’s squad, after an impressive start to the season – capped off by just one defeat in their first 14 matches (3-1 against Manchester United in Matchday Six) – was called up to confirm their excellent form. the Arsenal They have no intention of stopping high-altitude flying and the market, in that sense, is proof of that. The pressure is on Adrien Rabiot and Youri Tielemans It ends next June with Juventus and Leicester, respectively. And the search for an attacking winger – above all Modric and Asensio – Are the focal points to focus on next January. Not forgetting the renovation of Gabriel Martinelli. Coaching Guardiola, for his part, finds himself in this strange role of chaser. Used to dominating – over the past decade, City have won six national titles – Pep’s men are called upon to show their mettle, and win back those five points from their current disadvantage. The expectations that must be met are decidedly high. Of particular importance is the February 15th encounter, the recovery match for the twelfth day. City will move away from goals from Erling Haalandthe current top scorer with 18 goals, was well rested by Norway’s absence from the World Cup and had already scored in the 3-2 draw against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup. Citizensfrom the World Cup They will also find some key players like Kevin De Bruyne, Bernando Silva and Joao Cancelo. The Spanish manager is in charge of pressing the right buttons to revitalize his players. And who knows if the millionaire transfer market will not give current champions Jud Bellingham and Josko Guardiol.and they are the two most talked about names in the European transfer market.
Newcastle surprise, Europe in sight of Three Pigs, Everton: Ascension Mission – The big surprise The beginning of the season, without a doubt, It’s Eddie Howe of Newcastle United, who are third in the standings, in the middle of the Champions League area. After the complicated year of last season and the pharaonic summer market, i magpie They are called for a litmus test. The resurgence of the Premier League focuses on an amateur side, whose risk is slipping out of the European zone. AdministrationTo avoid this possibility, Constantly looking for offensive reinforcement. The three main defendants lead the names of Kodi Gakbo of PSV, Memphis Depay of Barcelona and Marcus Thuram of Borussia Monchengladbach.. Therefore, Newcastle is called upon to defend its lands against the rise of Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool Above all, at the moment the champions of the tournament are well below expectations. the Red Devils They will have to fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo Even if, in the first 16 matches, Ten Hag makes it clear that United no longer need the Portuguese. the Bluesinstead of, They will be able to count on the contribution of David Datro FofanaMolde, the Ivorian forward, is now one step away from moving to Stamford Bridge. But will that be enough to go up? The team tournament coached by Potter is far from satisfactory at the moment. The eighth place in the ranking is the perfect proof of this. Europe is the minimum target to be achieved for London, who have been called upon to promptly reverse the negative trend of their recent matches – which saw them defeated first by Brighton and then by Arsenal and then Newcastle -. in enfield, Jurgen Klopp He will have to give a decisive turn to the season reds The market can help. In addition to the names of Enzo Fernandez and Jude Bellingham, Liverpool want to count on Sofiane Amrabat in January, the protagonist of the wonderful World Cup with Morocco. 40 million is the amount ready to be paid into the coffers of Fiorentina. But if, on the other side of Liverpool, there is someone who can count on a leading transfer market, the situation is far from optimistic. Navigating bad waters, Everton are just one point short of the relegation zone, temporarily occupied by newly promoted Nottingham Forest. The reinvention of Anthony Gordon dominates management thoughts Dessert But Dream of the Winter Market bears the name of Muhammad Qudous, a 22-year-old Ghanaian attacking midfielder from Ajax. The transfer market can be synonymous with new life for many clubs or it can be a severe distraction. All cards will be revealed in January. So far, let’s enjoy the premier league show, ready to start over tomorrow with Boxing Day.
