Chapter 553 Champions League Draw (2)

Update time:2013-02-18

In the 2001-2002 season, the UEFA Champions League still took the form of three qualifying rounds plus two group stages and two knockout rounds. This draw was the top 32 draw of the peripheral group stage. The 32 teams participating in the draw were divided into four groups based on their European War points.

level, and then drawn into four groups for home and away round-robin competition, with the top two advancing.

This time, four Serie A teams appeared in the Champions League peripheral group matches. According to data released by UEFA yesterday, Inter Milan and Juventus are both first-tier teams, and the other six seed teams are respectively

They are Real Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern, Barcelona, ​​Liverpool and Arsenal. And Roma and Lazio are in the second tier. Along with them are Dortmund, Porto, Lyon, Deportivo, Galatasaray, Mallorca and so on.

A wealthy and powerful family from a small country, the most beautiful woman in Europe.

Although Inter Milan has always been regarded as a wealthy club with deep pockets, their results in the Champions League have not been good. Moratti took over as Inter Milan's president on February 18, 1995. Since he took office, Inter Milan's previous Champions League results have been dismal, 95-95.

96: Did not participate in the Champions League, 96-97: Did not participate in the Champions League, 97-98: Did not participate in the Champions League, 98-99: Champions League quarterfinals (lost to later champion Manchester United 1:3 in two rounds), 99-00: Did not participate

Champions League, 00-01: Champions League qualifying round, eliminated by Sweden's Helsingborg 0:1 in two rounds.

With such Champions League results, it's a bit high for them to be ranked in the third tier. The reason why they can be ranked in the first tier is because of their excellent results in the UEFA Cup.

According to UEFA rules, the seeding team is determined by each team's European Cup points in the past five seasons. The top 8 teams are naturally the seeding teams, and the distribution of subsequent teams is based on points.

analogy

UEFA's rules stipulate that for each group stage or knockout match of the Champions League or UEFA Cup, a player will receive 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and no points for a loss; qualifying matches for the Champions League and UEFA Cup

As well as the points in the play-offs, the points will be reduced according to the level. For example, the Champions League qualifying competition is 1 point for a win, while the UEFA Cup qualifying competition will increase from 0.25 to 1.5 according to the qualifying level; in addition, participating teams will also have bonus points.

, you will get 3 bonus points after participating in 6 UEFA Champions League group matches, and you will get 1 more point for each knockout round. For example, the top 16 teams in the UEFA Champions League will get 4 bonus points, and the teams in the second round of the UEFA Cup will also get 1 bonus point.

4 points. However, this is not the team’s final score.

Because UEFA also needs to determine the points of each national league based on the points of each club. Each season, the average score of all teams participating in the European War in each national league is the average score of the national league in that season.

points. For example, last season, there were 8 La Liga teams participating in the European competition, namely Barcelona, ​​​​Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Sevilla, Valencia, Deportivo,

Racing Santander, all 8 teams scored a total of 106.5 points, so La Liga’s European War points last season were 13.312 points. The team’s final points should be the points earned by the team in the game, plus the country’s points

The sum of 20% of the league points.

Inter Milan did not participate in the Champions League in the 1996-97 season, but they were runner-up in the UEFA Cup, but lost to Germany's Schalke 04 on a penalty kick in the final. They did not participate in the UEFA Champions League in the 1997-98 season, but Inter Milan did win the UEFA Cup that year.

Champion, defeated Lazio 3:0 in the final, were in the top 8 of the Champions League in the 1998-99 season, and won the UEFA Cup last season. Therefore, although Inter Milan’s results in the Champions League were disastrous, they have been defeated by the results of the UEFA Cup in the past five years.

Included in the first level.

The third tier is Schalke 04, Bayer Leverkusen, Dynamo Kiev, Lokomotiv Moscow, Rosenborg, AZ Alkmaar, PSV, and Olympiakos. The 8 teams in the fourth tier are Anderleich.

Sparta Prague, Panathinaikos, Boavista, Celtic, Fenerbahce, Lille, Nantes.

The group draws for the qualifying round adopt the same league avoidance principle, and their match dates and home and away games are staggered as much as possible to facilitate viewing and broadcasting. In fact, after the four levels of teams come out, each team will generally know its own

You may have encountered some teams, but because there are strong teams like Roma, Dortmund and Lazio in the second pot, and PSV, Bayer Leverkusen and Schalke 04 are in the third pot, it will definitely be difficult to play if you are drawn.

So when former French Football Federation President Fayad and UEFA Secretary-General Aigner presided over the drawing ceremony, the head coaches were still anxious and worried that if they were unlucky, they would be drawn to a few strong teams.

Jiang Mu was sitting in the second row with Moratti and Vieri, and he happened to be in the same row with Schlinja and Linna Zhou, but they were in different areas. Because of Ronaldinho's transfer this time, Schlinja

The relationship with Jiang Mu has eased. After Dalma was loaned to Alkmaar, Schlinja became more fond of Jiang Mu. Before the lottery ceremony started, they were still discussing Inter Milan and Alkmaar.

Will a group be drawn?

For Alkmaar, which group they are drawn into is very important. Their current strength is different from when Jiang Mu was there. Winning the championship is simply unthinkable. Being able to advance out of the group is victory. Although Inter Milan is not afraid of anyone,

The Champions League draw is also very important. If you encounter several strong teams, a lot of strength will be consumed first. For the team that wants to win the championship, this is a long process, and any more consumption will be detrimental.

After the lottery ceremony began, Fayad, the former president of the French Football Association, first drew out the eight seed teams, and Inter Milan was drawn into Group D. The other seven seed teams were Real Madrid in Group A, Liverpool in Group B,

Arsenal in Group C, Juventus in Group E, Barcelona in Group F, Manchester United in Group G, and Bayern in Group H.

Then UEFA Secretary General Egner drew out the teams in the second pot, and Roma was the first to be drawn into the group of Real Madrid. This caused the guests and reporters to exclaim. Roma is strong, although it is

The teams in the second tier are by no means worse than the first tier. Roma, Dortmund and Lazio are the three teams that dominate the group of death.

The second one drawn by UEFA Secretary General Egner was Dortmund. They were placed together with Liverpool in Group B. This was another prototype of a group of death.

Next, Mallorca was drawn into Group C, which made Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger breathe a sigh of relief. After Turkey's Galatasaray was drawn into Group D, other teams breathed a sigh of relief, but

Jiang Mu and Moratti both frowned. They were not afraid of the strength of their opponents, but they did have a headache against Galatasaray because Galatasaray's home court is known as the home stadium of hell and the fans are very crazy.

, likes to cause trouble, which may bring great risks to the Inter Milan fans who come to support. Even Inter Milan's players cannot guarantee that they will not be attacked by rival fans.

Then Porto was drawn into Group E with Juventus, Lyon was drawn into Group F with Barcelona, ​​Deportivo was with Manchester United in Group G, and the strong Lazio was placed in Group H with defending champion Bayern.

The first and second gears are just two conditions that constitute the group of death. It is the teams in the third gear that really form the group of death. The first three groups were all calm, Lokomotiv Moscow, Dynamo Kyiv, and Char.

Schalke 04 were drawn into three groups abc. Although Schalke 04 is not weak, Mallorca, the second-tier team in the same group with them, is not strong, so this group is just a battle for second place and there is no ball.

The team can shake Arsenal's qualification.

However, when Alkmaar was drawn into Group D with Inter Milan, there was some commotion in the venue. Even former French Football Association President Fayad and UEFA Secretary-General Egner couldn't help but glance at Jiang Mu, who

As we all know, Jiang Mu, the head coach of Inter Milan, the most popular team in Europe, was the original head coach of Alkmaar, and Jiang Mu has an ambiguous relationship with Alkmaar's manager.

There are many stories happening.

Jiang Mu also saw Skhelinja looking at him. He shrugged at Skhelinja with a helpless expression, because football matches are unpredictable and it is very likely that they will end up in a fight to the death.

Then Rosenberg was calmly drawn into Group E, and Leverkusen was drawn into Group F. Now the group of death is impossible. Barcelona in Group F is the strongest. Barcelona's strength has declined sharply in the past two years.

However, it is difficult for Lyon and Leverkusen to threaten his top position. However, if Lyon wants to qualify, he still needs to ask Leverkusen if he agrees.

In the end, only Olympiacos and Eindhoven were left in the third tier, and they were drawn into Group G and Group H respectively. When the final teams in the fourth tier were drawn, except for the head coaches of these teams,

Not many teams are paying attention anymore, everyone is discussing the prospects of their own team and the situation of their opponents.

The final draw of the eight groups was determined, Group A: Real Madrid, Roma, Lokomotiv Moscow, Anderlecht, Group B: Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund, Dynamo Kiev, Boavista, Group C: Arsenal,

Mallorca, Schalke 04, Panathinaikos, Group D: Inter Milan, Galatasaray, AZ Alkmaar, Nantes, Group E: Juventus, Porto, Rosenborg, Celtic

, Group F: Barcelona, ​​Lyon, Bayer Leverkusen, Fenerbahce, Group G: Manchester United, Deportivo La Coruna, Olympiacos, Lille, Group H: Bayern Munich, Lazio, PSV, Prague

Da.

Inter Milan, Juventus, Arsenal and Manchester United are in the best grouping situation. Almost no team can threaten their first position. Real Madrid, Roma, Liverpool and Dortmund have no worries about qualifying, but they may all worry about first place.

, there is definitely no problem with Bayern qualifying, but Lazio may threaten his first position, and if Lazio does not play seriously, they may also be pulled down by Eredivisie powerhouse Eindhoven. Group F is similar to Group H, Barcelona has no chance of qualifying

The problem is, Lyon and Leverkusen have to compete for a spot, but if Barcelona is not careful, Lyon may take away the first position.

The four teams in each group will play a double round-robin match on six match days from mid-September to the end of October (each match day includes Tuesday and Wednesday). The kick-off time is unified at 20:45 Central European Time.

The top two teams in the group advance to the second group stage. The final will be held at Hampden Park in Glasgow on May 15.

Generally speaking, the grouping situation is very balanced. There is no dead group, and no one will complain about it. Jiang Mu, apart from grouping Alkmaar and Inter Milan together, is quite satisfied with the grouping, at least compared to the subsequent manipulation by UEFA.

Compared with the group drawing ceremony, the current grouping is much fairer and there are a lot less tricks.
