The draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League group stage of the 2016/17 season has concluded.
The end time is later than previous years.
Li Kang held the heavy trophy and took a brief photo with several old rivals before preparing to meet the club staff.
Player representatives from 32 clubs, some of whom are difficult to recognize.
After all, not everyone's appearance is as recognizable as Bale, Mbappe...
Messi was not seen.
The superstar's old adductor injury has recurred, and it is still unknown whether he can play in the first round of the Champions League group stage.
"Li, Leverkusen used the money you left to buy several players this summer. Qualifying won't be a big problem."
"Maybe we two can meet in the knockout round."
Brandt said confidently.
The fact is that Leverkusen is not restricted by the 50 1 policy in the Bundesliga. With 200 million in hand, they are recruiting players aggressively.
8 million euros were spent to sign Balotelli from Liverpool, who had been dormant for many years.
1 million euros allowed Berbatov to return to Northern Ireland.
Signed the "underused" Hernandez from Manchester United for 15 million euros.
Visa-free Klose...
Signed David Luiz from Paris Saint-Germain for 40 million euros.
It's all about reinforcements at the front and back.
As for the midfield...
These days, it’s hard to find good midfield stars even with money.
Joao Mario, who was finally spotted...joined Inter Milan.
There is no way.
Voller gritted his teeth and spent 68 million euros to sign the "abandoned" Ronaldo from Real Madrid!
The summer window is not over yet.
Media reporters are very much looking forward to Leverkusen's next signings.
....
On the return flight.
Wenger wears glasses and holds a book in his hand.
He is not only thinking about the rotation of personnel for subsequent games...The Premier League's new season roster will be updated around September 11.
Arsenal still have plenty of time to sign and sell players.
But who else can I buy?
The strongest man is already in the formation!
Li Kang is watching the Hull City game.
Before the Gunners play against the Red Devils, they still have to meet the challenge of Tiger City.
Hull City have shown themselves to be a dark horse this season.
With Maguire's outstanding performance.
They defeated Leicester City and Swansea in the first two rounds of the Premier League and are currently ranked first in the standings with the Premier League big5!

The bookmakers were so frightened that they immediately lowered the odds of Hull City winning the championship to 1000:1.
.....
Four days later.
Premier League match day is here again.
Emirates Stadium.
There were huge crowds of people and every seat was packed.
The red and white scarves and team flags formed the most beautiful wave in the bowl-shaped stands.
The mascot, Gunslinger, interacted wildly with the fans on the sidelines.
"espn! espn! Good evening, viewers."
"The live broadcast for you now is the third round of the 2016/17 Premier League season."
"Arsenal vs. Hull City!"
"Everyone should still remember the FA Cup final two years ago, when the Gunners reversed Tiger City's victory and ended their embarrassing nine-year drought."
"I am the commentator for this game, Zhan Jun!"
"Let's take a look at the lineups of both sides."
"Arsenal has carried out a large-scale personnel rotation! Perhaps it is to prepare for the Champions League."
"Wenger's formation is 4-4-2!"
"Goalkeeper:..."
....
"The boss of Hull City wants to transfer the club to a mysterious consortium from the East."
"There are four Asian faces in the stands wearing yellow and black scarves!"
"Can you negotiate a good price and watch this game!"
"After Hull City was promoted to the Premier League, not only was the head coach angered by the son of the club owner, but many of its core players were also sold off!"
"At this time, the numbers of the players on the field are all big numbers!"
"The acting coach is Mike Phelan! Former assistant to Ferguson!"
Although Hull City is a Premier League "elevator".
But his youth training is doing well.
Many young players have performed very well in past games.
After the opening whistle sounded.
After gaining the ball, the Tigers frantically attacked Arsenal's half.
Head coach - Mike Phelan, tactics are illegal and aggressive.
No matter who the opponent is, the word counterattack is not in his dictionary.
After the football passed the center line, it immediately moved to the side and the entire army pressed forward.
....
"Junior Mason's ball was intercepted!"
"The person who completed this defense was Ramsey!"
After Ramsey's success in the European Cup, he seemed to have lost weight.
No injuries at all.
It still takes time to get back to the status quo.
He handed the ball to Arsenal's No. 10 immediately.
Li Kang instantly found the most suitable counterattack route.
Snapped!
The through ball was like a sharp blade, cutting through Hull City's half.
Morata is a winner!
He is about to catch the ball and form a single shot!
The Innslington fans could not suppress their cheers and shouts.
A figure with a big head put an end to the gunman's thoughts!
"Maguire!"
“This frontal interception was done very well!”
"Stifled Arsenal's fast break!"
"A very typical heavy central defender, even Morata has a hard time gaining the upper hand!"
...
Morata was slightly surprised.
The silly-looking big man in front of me, his defensive positioning, close-quarter awareness, and prediction of the ball's path...are all too strong, right?
Does the newly promoted team from the English Championship still have such a talented central defender?
Just talk about the positive one-to-one ability.
Almost as good as Juventus' defensive team.
gradually.
Double-teamed by Hull City's defensive players.
The Spanish striker had to pass the ball back.
Arsenal reorganized their attack.
....
Time passes very quickly.
Until the end of the first half.
Arsenal, with their large-scale rotation, didn't have much chance to threaten Hull City's goal.
Maguire, protected by two defensive midfielders, was like a god descending to earth, repeatedly resolving dangerous situations.
"Arsenal can't open up the situation."
"This lineup is not enough to support the passing and cutting that they are best at."
"On the bench are Giroud, Sanchez, Cazorla and others!"
"New aid Xhaka has been suspended!"
"If this game is a draw, the Premier League standings will be... Hey, other games played at the same time will also be upset one after another!"
....
Li Kang didn't find anything special about Hull City's tactics.
Very traditional British style of play.
Even if there is a disconnect between the midfield and the front, the defensive attitude of the opponent's two midfielders is still positive.
Force but not grab.
Protect the back line of defense to the maximum extent.
The 68th minute of the game.
Arsenal youngster Holding moved forward to participate in the attack.
Li Kang received Ramsey's pass in the rib area.
A 45-degree cross with the left foot!
The football made a graceful arc in mid-air and plummeted into Hull City's penalty area!
Morat and Holding take off at the same time!
"Two ghosts knock on the door!"
"It's Maguire's head that clears the ball again!"
"The terrifying ability to stay in the air!"
"Oh? The referee's whistle has sounded!"
"Penalty kick!"
....
finally.
Arsenal beat Hull City 1:0 at home.
Wenger looked at the opponent's big-headed central defender with a troubled expression, as if he was hesitating.
