Chapter 197 Champions League Group Draw
There are 32 teams in the UEFA Champions League group stage, and the top three in the Bundesliga are all in the fourth tier.
Everyone scratched the list, and quickly came up with the strongest group of death on paper.
The first tier is any team, the second tier Juventus and Inter Milan, the third tier Atletico Madrid and Marseille, and the fourth tier Bundesliga champion Cologne.
The strongest on paper is only the giants in the five major leagues. Other teams also have strong strengths, such as Porto and CSKA Moscow.
So, before the lottery ceremony began, reporters surrounded the parties one after another.
"It's ridiculous that the champion of the Bundesliga is in the fourth tier." Atletico Madrid coach Abel Resino complained, and then began to groan: "Some unscrupulous media said that the Bundesliga has fallen. I hope they will." They are in the same group as the Bundesliga champions, they are the Cosmos team anyway, so they definitely don’t have to worry about qualifying.”
Guardiola didn't give Resino any face, saying: "I don't care who else is in the opponent, we just need to play our own game well, and there will naturally be a good result."
The reporter asked: "Do you want to meet Cologne? Their head star Lin Xiu is Messi's biggest competitor for the Ballon d'Or. Do you think they will win or lose in the Champions League?"
"I think Messi will win." Guardiola pushed his love sauce, and said: "In the last season, Messi's performance was perfect, and he will get better."
Of course, more people will wait until the dust of the lottery is settled before speaking, and Lin Xiu is not among these people.
Yang Wu made a special topic on "Road to Champions", which started with an exclusive interview.
Wang Lan asked: "Lin Xiu, how do you feel about the upcoming Champions League journey?"
"The first time is always exciting."
"Do you feel nervous?"
"I think it's someone else who is nervous. We are the strongest fourth-tier team in history."
"Among the 32 teams, there are Rangers and Marseilles that are full of grievances with you, as well as your old club Vojvodina. If you are in a group, it must be full of topics. Do you think you will encounter these balls? team?"
"Look at UEFA's arrangements, whether it's Rangers Marseille or Vojvodina, we will be the first to qualify in the group."
Lin Xiu avoided the topic of Vojvodina.
From the bottom of my heart, I dare not say that they will qualify for the group when they encounter Vojvodina, but they are still sure to rank third and then go to the UEFA Cup.
Strong strength, can release water, just so willful.
As for Rangers and Marseille, the same situation as when the UEFA Cup reappears, of course there will be many topics, but the image of the UEFA Champions League will be great.
If UEFA takes this into consideration, there is a high probability that the two will be separated.
Wang Lan didn't delve into it, and continued to ask: "Of these teams, which one do you most want to encounter?"
"Real Madrid and Barcelona. Head-to-head confrontation can tell who is stronger and who is weaker."
Lin Xiu didn't hide her thoughts.
The whole world knows that he was very dissatisfied with his loss last year, and this year's biggest competitor is Messi.
The eternal principle of sports competition: whoever wins is stronger. If they can double beat Barcelona, they might be able to take away Messi's Golden Globe Award and World Footballer of the Year.
And being in a group with Real Madrid may make it impossible for the Real Madrid team to get out of the line.
Think about it, it used to be Real Madrid Shiliu Lang, and Ronaldo came with the highest price in history, but the team couldn't qualify for the group, and the prestige was immediately shattered.
However, UEFA, which upholds fairness, impartiality and openness, did not fiddle with the draw, and Cologne perfectly avoided the opponents arranged by the outside world.
Group H, Arsenal, AZ Alkmaar, Olympiacos, Koln.
Lin Xiu found it boring. He really looked down on Alkmaar and Olympiacos, even Arsenal.
Competing for the top four madmen, without a championship for many years, haggling over 200 million, and even Arshavin's genius clause can't handle it. From any aspect, Arsenal is no longer a wealthy family.
Famous figures from all walks of life also jumped out to comment, and their views on Group H were basically the same: Arsenal and Cologne will qualify together, and there is a high probability that Cologne will be first and Arsenal will be second.
For example, Lineker, the number one in the UK, said: "Arsenal has drawn a good sign, Alkmaar and Olympiacos are not strong competitors.
I think Wenger should have a clear understanding of the situation, as long as he wins two teams, he can qualify smoothly.
As for the game against Cologne, maybe it is the most sensible to just give up. I don't think Arsenal can win Cologne. "
In this regard, Wenger did not respond, as long as the group can qualify. As for winning the championship, to be honest, Arsenal has a chance, but the chance is very small.
After Daum came back, he immediately led the team to Hamburg to prepare for the fourth round of the league.
Because the UEFA Champions League group draw attracted too much attention, the two sides did not have a war of words, and even the pre-match press conference was not held, and the game started directly when the time came.
It may be that the home team was embarrassed to be too cowardly, but the North Kings showed a strong aggressiveness from the beginning.
In the 9th minute, Guerrero made a strong shot to help Hamburg open the scoring.
The fans of the home team immediately clamored loudly and cheered for the team.
Don't they know that once the team leads it's super show time?
Of course I know, this can be seen from the fact that the attendance rate is only the usual four achievements, but it is okay to lose, but not cowardly.
For the feelings of the home fans, Hamburg tried to defend against a wave and stopped the football that Lin Xiu sent to Freys.
Then Hamburg's counterattack came to an end without a problem. Lin Xiu still wanted to brush up the statistics for his teammates, but he gave Podolski a kick before finishing the goal, and the ball was gone.
Don't worry, take your time, Lin Xiu goes her own way.
Just play.
Played until the second half and changed sides to fight again. Ronaldo replaced Freis, and Cologne failed to score.
Just when the Hamburg fans were wondering if they could get a victory, Lin Xiu suddenly made a one-stop shot.
Your uncle is still your uncle, there is nothing to say in Hamburg.
Hamburg's counterattack was successfully defended by Cologne. Lin Xiu launched another attack. It was only 3 minutes before the last goal. The Hamburg generals didn't care so much and all came to block Lin Xiu.
Then, Ronaldo, who was already in position, received the ball and lobbed a shot that made the 36-year-old Frank Rost fail to save.
The audience was silent for a moment, and there was sparse applause.
This goal is not a classic pendulum-style extraordinary goal, but it also brought back everyone's memories.
Ronaldo put his arms around Lin Xiu and said with a grin: "It feels great to score a goal. Thank you, super leader."
"It would be even better if you could perform a pendulum-style surcharge," Lin Xiu said.
Ronaldo shook his head and said: "I don't want to retire in place and spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Besides, the fans will be more interested in your pendulum."
Back in the midfield, Hamburg kicked off and continued to attack, but failed to score a goal.
Then in the 85th minute, Hamburg got carried away with the attack, was counterattacked by Lin Xiu, and Rost's attack was swayed.
1:3, Hamburg's heart is cold, and his body has no energy, and the drag and grind are exhausting time.
