After a month marked by the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the main European leagues have resumed activity with outstanding performances Manchester City, Paris Saint Germain Y Monk, among others. Now, just days before the clock strikes the start of a new calendar year, there are many games that promise to close this year in the best way. An aggregate? He could play on the fields of various world champions with the Argentine national team.

In England the leader will return to play Arsenalas well as the Manchester City by Julián Álvarez -who will arrive in the city in the next few hours-, the astonville by ‘Dibu’ Martínez, the Brighton by Alexis MacAllister, the Manchester Utd by Lisandro Martínez -also Alejandro Garnacho-, and the Tottenham by ‘Cuti’ Romero. In principle, none of the brand new world champions would see minutes in this return to football, contrary to what would happen in Spain with the cases of Gonzalo Montiel -suspended-, Papu Gómez -injured- and Marcos Acuña in Seville.

Friday’s programme

This Friday, the action on the courts will begin early. In Spain, where round 15 is being played, Getafe will face Mallorca starting at 13:00 (Argentina time), while at 15:15 it will be the turn of CeltaVigo against him Sevillethe latter with the possible presence of world champions with the Albiceleste.

And is that although he Papa Gomez He is still part of the squad led by Jorge Sampaoli, everything seems to indicate that his future would be far from Sevilla. Gonzalo Montielinstead, he joined the training sessions together with Marco Acunabut we would only see the “Egg” on the pitch against Celta de Vigo. Cadiz Y Almeria they will do the same at the same time.

They will be responsible for closing the day on Friday Valladolid Y real Madridwho will play from 5.30pm.

In England, meanwhile, at 4.45pm they will see their faces West Ham Y Brentfordonly to give way to the highlight of the day: the meeting between Liverpool Y leicesterwhich will take place at 17:00.

The last of 2022

Saturday will arrive even more intense because, on New Year’s Eve, the action will double in the Old Continent. Those responsible for opening the day will be wolverhampton Y Manchester Utdwhich will be measured at 09:30 with the particularity that Lisandro Martínez In principle, it would not be part of the game, given that the world champion defender with the Argentina national team has recently made himself available to the coach Erik Tenhagafter the festivities.

At 12:00 there will be four high-flying games: bournemouth vs Crystal Palace, newcastle vs leeds, fulham vs southampton Y Manchester City vs Everton. The “Citizens” come off the win against Leeds at the hands of an inspired Erling Haaland, and will now look to continue their good run without the presence of Giuliano Alvarezwho is still in Córdoba with his family and will only return to England after the new year.

Then, another Saturday highlight has to do with what will happen from 2.30pm at Falmer Stadium, where the Brighton will receive the Arsenal, leaders of the Premier League. With the presence of Alexis MacAllister When in doubt, Brighton will be looking to get off to a flying start to stay fired in the title fight. “Albion” is seventh, just six points away from entering the Champions League, and would sign the standings in the Conference League for now.

Finally, it’s time to review the action in Spain, which kicks off at 10:00 with the Catalan classic starring Barcelona Y Spanish, besides that they live very different realities. Later, at 12:15 you can see Royal society vs Osasuna Y villareal vs Valencia. In the “Yellow Submarine” they have already come together John Foyth Y Geronimo Rollersalthough its presence is unknown.

welcome 2023

Like Saturday, Football Sunday will start very early for the Argentines, when they face each other at 11:00. Tottenham Y astonville for the continuity of the Premier League. On the part of the “Spurs”, the possible presence of the nice Romero, who joined training on Thursday and could be available to coach Antonio Conte, who he faces on Sunday. A similar case is that of Dibu Martínezwho apparently could wear Villa’s gloves, if the Spaniard Unai Emery has them.

At 1.30pm, the close of this weekend of football in Great Britain will be in charge of Nottingham Forest and Chelsea. But Sunday will not only be marked by Premier League action, but as the weekend sets in, a new league will be added – none other than France’s Ligue 1.

It resumed last Wednesday, but will continue with the following clashes: Anger vs Lorient, Monk vs Brest, nantes vs auxeres; Toulouse vs Ajaccio (all at 11:00); Lyon Olympics vs clermont (1pm) and Contact lenses vs psg (4:45pm).

The Parisians, leaders of Ligue 1, will not be able to count Lionel Messi Faced with this crucial clash, given that the captain of the Argentina national team is still in Rosario with his family and would only train on January 3 or 4.

In principle, Rosario’s idea would be to return to the field on the 11th against Angers for Ligue 1, although there is also a slight possibility that he will return on the 6th against Chateauroux for the Cup of France.

In this way, more and more world champions are starting to change chips and, after a World Cup to remember, they try to continue demonstrating their best level, this time in their clubs.

Few are still on vacation, but as the days go by they will all go back to their routine, and many of them even dream of ending this season on a high note even shouting champions with their team’s shirt.
