Chapter 245 The second stage group stage draw (2)

The draw rules for the second stage of the Champions League group are slightly different from the first stage. The first stage is divided into four levels based on their UEFA European War points in the past five years. Each group will include teams from the first, second, third and fourth levels.

In one group, different teams from the same league cannot appear in the same group.

The second stage is divided into four levels based on the results of the first stage group stage. Different teams from the same league cannot appear in the same group.

Alkmaar had an excellent record in the first group stage, moving from the fourth tier to the first tier. It was a huge turnaround. Jiang Mu, Skhelinja and Alkmaar were all looking forward to drawing one.

Good sign.

The first round of draws was uneventful, with Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Alkmaar being drawn into four groups: A, B, C, and D.

Porto was drawn from Group A in the second round. Barcelona coach Louis van Gaal had a smile on his face. For Barcelona's style of play, it is much easier to play Porto in the Iberian Peninsula than the Italian team in the Apennines and the Premier League team.

Next up in Group B was Bordeaux, which made defending champion Manchester United's coach Ferguson look very relaxed. Although Bordeaux qualified first in the group, the other teams in their group were average, and Bordeaux was obviously only in the middle of Europe.

The team poses no threat to Manchester United.

The second draw in Group C was Bayern. As soon as this draw was drawn, Real Madrid's head coach Vicente Del Bosque frowned, and the whole audience burst into exclamations, but this exclamation was except for people from Real Madrid and Bayern.

, everything else is a surprise. Watching the two giants fight is actually one of the great pleasures of life.

There is no suspense in Group D at this time. Chelsea is the last team in the second tier. They are in the same group as Alkmaar. When Jiang Mu saw Bayern being drawn into Group C, his expression was extremely strange.

Starting from Bayern, it was undoubtedly a good draw to draw Chelsea, but compared with the previous two teams, this was another low draw, which made him feel extremely painful.

"The main thing is to look at the team in the third tier." Schlinjia understood Jiang Mu's mood and comforted him in a low voice.

"I know this, but if we draw another strong team, this game will be difficult." Jiang Mu smiled bitterly. Drawing Chelsea already indicates that it will not be a good draw. Will luck turn around later?

When Group A drew Hertha Berlin in the third round, Van Gaal was already leaning back comfortably on his chair, which already indicated that they were a very comfortable group.

Valencia, who are not weak in the third group B, are the strongest team in the second group. Ferguson's expression became a little unhappy at this time. This draw is a bit worse than the previous one.

But Groups C and D are also uncomfortable, because the remaining two teams are Lazio and Dynamo Kyiv. Although Dynamo Kiev lost Shevchenko, the top scorer in the Champions League, their overall strength cannot be underestimated.

Look, neither of these two teams will be happy to draw.

But relatively speaking, Jiang Mu still hopes to be drawn against Dynamo Kiev. The Ukrainian team without core Shevchenko will definitely be easier to play than the reinforced concrete Lazio.

However, Jiang Mu's luck is getting worse and worse. Group C draws Dynamo Kyiv, leaving Lazio in Group D. Now Group D has basically formed the prototype of a group of death, and it depends on the last draw.

Now there are still Sparta Prague, Rosenborg, Fiorentina and Marseille. The coaches drawn from the four groups are all staring at the host, eager to draw Sparta Prague and Rosenborg.

Because Alkmaar was once a team with Rosenborg, according to the rules, it is impossible for them to meet. Alkmaar's only chance is Sparta Prague. The other two teams, Marseille and Fiorentina, are not ordinary people.

"There shouldn't be any tricks like quietly heating them, or applying potions, or playing with special contact lenses, right?" Schlinjia asked Jiang Mu quietly.

"Only the devil knows, but I think our luck is just like this. Sparta Prague will definitely not be with us, we must be Marseille." Jiang Mu lamented, today's luck is really average.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter who you draw. Anyway, we have already won at this point." Schlinga said.

"From a financial point of view, we have already made a lot of money, but from an honor point of view, the top eight is our goal." Jiang Mu said.

Jiang Mu's premonition was very accurate. Sparta Prague was eliminated from Group A in the first round. Barcelona became the most comfortable first-tier team. They were almost ready for the knockout round of the quarterfinals.

Group D has also been officially declared a group of death. The four teams in this group, Chelsea, Lazio, AZ Alkmaar and Marseille, are close in strength and no one is sure of qualifying.

The next step is to see who can draw the soft persimmon Rosenberg in Group B and Group C. The result is the same as the beginning. The lucky ones continue to have good luck, and the unlucky ones have bad luck. Group B draws Florence and the defending champion Manchester United.

In a group with Florence, Bordeaux, and Valencia, this is a group of death slightly inferior to Group D.

Although there are two giants in Group C, Bayern and Real Madrid, their other two opponents, Dynamo Kiev and Rosenborg, are not good enough and do not pose much of a threat to the two giants.

The draw for the second stage of the Champions League group stage has been completed. Group A: Barcelona, ​​Porto, Hertha Berlin, Sparta Prague. Group B: Manchester United, Fiorentina, Valencia, Bordeaux. Group C: Real Madrid, Bayern, Dynamo Kyiv,

Rosenborg; Group D: Marseille, Lazio, Chelsea, AZ.

After the draw, some were happy and others were worried. Barcelona coach Louis van Gaal, who wanted everything to come true, told the media hypocritically: "Porto is a giant in the Portuguese Super League, Hertha Berlin has had a strong upward trend in the past two years, and Sparta Prague is actually a club."

A dark horse, anything can happen in the Champions League, we must prepare carefully, otherwise we may capsize in the gutter."

Bayern coach Hitzfeld said: "Real Madrid is one of the most powerful teams in world football, and they are our biggest competitors. Of course, we cannot ignore Dynamo Kiev and Rosenborg. Underestimating them will bring us great consequences.

Big trouble."

Real Madrid coach Vicente del Bosque claimed to take revenge. He said: There is no need to talk about Bayern, because in this kind of competition, you will only encounter strong or stronger enemies. Dynamo Kyiv must not be underestimated.

Last season we were knocked out of the quarterfinals by Dynamo Kyiv, and this season we meet again in the group stage. This is a good thing for us. I think my players will definitely play with high morale."

Chelsea coach Vialli, the favorite in Group D, expressed concern about the situation in this group. He said: We are the group of death. There is no doubt about it. Chelsea, Lazio and Marseille are on the same level. Alkmaar is a little less famous, but they are a big team.

Dark horse, its strength is hard to predict. Maybe they are the most difficult team to deal with. It is difficult for you to break through the Italian team. Even for an attacking team like Lazio, their defense must not be underestimated. Lazio is ours

Our main competitor, the French team has just won the world championship, and their club must not be underestimated. Marseille won the French Ligue 1 runner-up by only one point last season, and they will be one of the competitors to qualify. "

Lazio head coach Eriksson was also dissatisfied with being drawn into Group D. He complained: "We have been drawn into the most difficult group. The four teams are very similar in strength. No one is the favorite to qualify.

For us, promotion depends on hard work."

Marseille coach Kobes did not attend the draw ceremony. Those who came to Monaco were captain Pires and chairman Marcande. Marseille's strength is slightly less than that of Chelsea and Lazio, but it is still capable of fighting. Captain Pires is very good.

It’s fair to say, he said: “Except Group A, no group is easy to play, because there are only two qualifying places, and these 16 teams are the strongest or the best 16 teams in Europe. I

I am quite satisfied with this draw result, at least we still have the strength to fight. The Champions League is full of chance, AC Milan did not even make it through the group stage, the strength is not as simple as written on paper, everything is possible."

Marcande, chairman of Marseille Club, said: This is a relatively close group, also called the group of death. The competition in this group will be fierce. I am not familiar with Alkmaar, but we will soon know what they have.

How strong."

Jiang Mu’s views on the draw were similar to Pires’. The group was evenly matched and everyone had a chance to fight. No one was sure of qualifying. This was more beneficial to Jiang Mu, who was good at on-the-spot command. So after the draw, Jiang Mu told reporters

The interview expressed his views.

"Maybe you can say on paper that this team is easy to deal with and that team is more difficult, but what will really happen can only be seen on the pitch. Obviously, in this group, there is no team

It stands out from the crowd. This result is not bad, but we will still focus on the group stage. What I regret is that we need to travel long distances, which is a test for us, because before we have only warmed up

Sai rarely goes abroad to play games.

A reporter just asked me what my goals are. I said no. My goal is to play one game at a time. Winning or losing is not very important. We have impressed everyone by reaching this point. The Italian team always

They are very well prepared, and the English team has always been a threat, and it will take 12 points of effort to grab a qualifying spot from them."

After the draw ceremony of the Champions League group stage, the major European betting companies also immediately adjusted their winning odds. Barcelona became the team with the highest claim to win the championship, because after the group stage was the quarter-finals, they played easily in the group stage, and less

Some injuries and reductions in red and yellow cards will be of great help to the knockout rounds.

Because AZ Alkmaar was assigned to the group of death, their odds of winning the championship also began to decline. Among the 16 teams, they were only ranked ahead of Rosenborg, Sparta Prague and Hertha Berlin.

Major media in Europe also believe that it is difficult for the big dark horse Alkmaar to continue to advance. If it is not the group stage but the knockout, Alkmaar may continue to be dark, but the group cycle requires a high level of strength for the team. Before death.

group, Alkmaar had little chance of survival.
