Reborn Almighty Life

The UEFA Champions League is UEFA's biggest cash cow and cornucopia, and it is also UEFA's biggest weapon against the World Football Federation. How can we make the UEFA Champions League the most intense and interesting under the conditions of 'just, fair and open'?

, is something that UEFA needs to rack its brains to do. There are always many coincidences in the group stage draw every year, and there are also some traces of human manipulation, but this is tacitly understood by everyone.

Among the four teams in Group A, Liverpool, Porto, Marseille and Besiktas, Liverpool stands out in terms of strength. It is not difficult to grab a qualifying spot, but the remaining qualifying spot is difficult to say. For Benitez

For a team, qualifying first in the group is only the minimum requirement. He needs to lay the foundation for emergence earlier so that he can focus more on the Premier League.

Since China Capital took over Liverpool FC, Nanxun Consortium has invested heavily in the transfer market. Whether it is the joining of Torres, Mascherano and others, as well as its operations in the transfer market this summer, Nanxun has shown that

The ambitions of the consortium.

Benitez knows very well that achieving good results in the Champions League can no longer satisfy the appetite of the club and fans, and achieving a breakthrough in the Premier League is the most critical.

In the 15 seasons since the start of the Premier League, Liverpool has never won the Premier League championship. This is undoubtedly a shame for Liverpool, which has won 18 English top league championships.

After Manchester United won the championship last season, the number of domestic top league championships has reached 16, which is infinitely close to Liverpool's throne. In terms of the number of Champions League championships, Manchester United's three are not far behind Liverpool's five championship trophies.

.

Based on the strong momentum shown by Manchester United last season, almost everyone knows that Manchester United may surpass Liverpool in the number of league titles and Champions League titles in the next three to five years, knocking the Red Army off its throne.

For Liverpool, if it is surpassed by Manchester United, the glory of the century-old club will be trampled under the feet of the Manchester people. I am afraid that Bill Shankly's coffin will not be able to hold it down.

Therefore, in the new season, Benitez's team needs to block Manchester United on all fronts and delay Manchester United from surpassing Liverpool. If they can win some championships in fierce competition, that will be the greatest success!

There was not much suspense in the Group A match. Compared to Liverpool’s previous struggles in this group, they only swept away the haze of one draw and two losses in the first three rounds by winning the last three rounds, and finally advanced as second in the group.

The situation in the knockout rounds is completely different. In this time and space, Liverpool has strong troops and is more than enough to cope with the mere Champions League group stage.

In the first four rounds, except for a 2:2 draw with Porto in the first round, Liverpool won three consecutive victories and locked up the qualifying spot in one fell swoop. In the fourth round against Besiktas, Liverpool

An astonishing score of 10:0 was played at Anfield Stadium, which clearly means that they are different from their arch-rivals Manchester United.

With the goal difference in this game, Liverpool can successfully qualify even if they lose in the last two rounds.

After Manchester United was put on a winning streak by the huge funds of China Capital, Liverpool also relied on the financial support of the ‘Nanxun Consortium’ to show a stronger momentum than in its previous life.

In the previous life, after the miracle in Istanbul in 2005, Liverpool fell into the dilemma of being without a championship for a long time. Not only was it unable to break through the blockade of Manchester United, Chelsea and later Manchester City in the league, it was not until the arrival of German Klopp that it broke the Premier League pattern.

After the 'Nanxun Consortium' took over Liverpool, this long-dormant team took on new vitality, whether it was the joining of Torres, Tevez and Mascherano, or the high winning bonuses of the Huaxia Consortium.

Let this team put on an amazing performance.

This season, Liverpool has yet to lose in the league. A record of 10 wins and 4 draws puts it in second place in the league, closely following its arch-rival Manchester United.

In this round of competition, Liverpool faced the European black club Porto at Anfield at home. The score of 5:0 made the Portuguese giants feel ashamed.

Liverpool is using its outstanding performance on all fronts to defend its own glory. Manchester United still has a long way to go if it wants to become the number one football club in England!

…………

In Group B, the seeded teams, Mourinho's Blues won the top lottery. Whether it is Valencia, Schalke 04 or the fat team Rosenborg, they will not cause any trouble to Chelsea.

At this time, the Premier League teams are not yet a thorn in UEFA's side, and they are not yet regulars in the group of death in the Champions League group stage draw. The Premier League's points in the Champions League are also increasing day by day.

However, as the Premier League teams continue to achieve the three-English match against Lu Bu in the Champions League semi-finals, it is quite likely that the Champions League will turn into a civil war in the Premier League, and UEFA's clampdown measures will follow one after another.

The situation in Group A is clear, and Group B is not far behind, because Chelsea and Schalke 04 are much stronger than Rosenborg and Valencia in the same group. After only four rounds, the qualifying situation is already clear.

In this round of competition, Valencia had a boring draw with Schalke 04 at the Mestalla Stadium at home. They only scored 4 points in 5 rounds and were eliminated. They did not even qualify for the UEFA Cup.

Looking back at the bat team that reached the Champions League final at the beginning of the century, and then looking at Valencia who are now struggling in La Liga, one can only sigh that things are unpredictable!

The situation of Valencia Club is actually a microcosm of most La Liga clubs. After most of the league's interests are monopolized by Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​other La Liga teams can only slowly sink.

According to many European media reports, the Spanish Serie A is actually the "Two Super Leagues", and the other teams are just accompanying the prince to study.

The development of La Liga and the pattern of the Premier League have formed completely different performances. It is impossible to say which one is better or worse. It is just that the competition between the Premier League teams has become more intense and has attracted more and more fans' support. This is an indisputable fact.

For two consecutive years, three Premier League teams have reached the top four of the Champions League finals, demonstrating the strong competitive advantage of Premier League teams in European football.

…………

Real Madrid in the second phase of Galacticos won the best lottery. The nine-time Champions League champion still has a lot of cards in the Champions League. Werder Bremen, Lazio and Olympiacos almost gave Real Madrid a walk-off

Appear first in the group.

Although Bremen is a second-tier team, with the weak competitiveness of the Bundesliga, Bremen is simply unable to win the game at the Bernabeu. Serie A has long lost its glory of the Mini World Cup. Lazio can enter the Champions League.

It's just because Juventus just returned to Serie A from Serie B and took advantage of it.

As for Olympiacos, it has not won an away game in the Champions League for many years. Its existence is purely to provide points to other teams.

Before the start of the Champions League group stage, no one would have thought that Olympiacos would be able to qualify in the same group as Real Madrid, Lazio and Werder Bremen!

Because since the Champions League was restructured into the Champions League, Olympiacos has created an embarrassing record of 31 consecutive away games without a win. This is a team with extremely poor away ability.

Although Olympiacos reached the Champions League quarterfinals in the 1998-99 season, they were placed in a group with Ajax, Porto, and Dinamo Zagreb and successfully qualified. They faced Juventus in the quarterfinals and lost 1-2 away.

They were eliminated in a 1-1 draw at home (leading 1-0 until the end of stoppage time, but were finally equalized by Juventus' Conte). This is also Olympiacos' best result in the European battlefield!

However, times have changed. This summer, Rivaldo switched to Olympiacos' arch-rival AEK Athens after his contract ended, making the outside world less optimistic about Olympiacos' prospects in the Champions League.

However, when the game reached the fifth round, Olympiques actually firmly occupied the second position in the group, and the 3:1 away game reversal of Werder Bremen broke the team's 31 consecutive away winless streak.

Embarrassing record!

AC Milan's draw is also good. Benfica, Celtic and Shakhtar Donetsk will not pose any threat to AC Milan's first ranking in the group. Even if AC Milan now loses Kaká, Pirlo, Gatto

The midfielder composed of Sol and Seedorf, the still-in-form Ronaldo and the energetic young player Pato are enough to ensure that AC Milan can easily advance to the knockout stage.

Barcelona will compete with Ligue 1 hegemon Lyon for the first place in the group. As for Stuttgart and Glasco Wanderers, they may also disrupt the situation in some games. The situation in this group is the most confusing.

According to the media, after losing Ronaldinho, Barcelona can only rely on young players like Messi, Xavi and Iniesta to conquer the world. It is really unpredictable what level they can perform.

The most terrifying group of death among the 8 groups was born in Group G, when Inter Milan in the first tier, Eindhoven in the second tier, CSKA in the third tier and Fenerbahce of Turkey in the fourth tier were drawn.

Together, the scene was in an uproar, and the fans in front of the TV were also talking about it.

On the surface, Inter Milan and PSV are the strongest and are the undisputed best choices for qualifying spots. However, the severe winter in Moscow and the harsh away environment in Istanbul will bring extremely severe tests to other away teams.

.

Struggling in such a group, if you are not careful, you may lose everything. Therefore, when the draw results came out, there were more wrinkles on Mancini's forehead sitting at the scene.

For Mancho, taking advantage of the decline in strength of Juventus and AC Milan due to the Calciopoli scandal in recent years, Inter Milan achieved three consecutive Serie A titles, which was the best period to make achievements in the Champions League.

You know, what club president Moratti never forgets is to recreate the international era created by his father, Moratti Sr., and the Champions League championship is his last obsession.

Being assigned to such a group, Mancini's team will encounter a great test, and may even affect the team's performance in Serie A. You must know that AC Milan, which has recovered in strength, and Juventus, which has returned to Serie A, will both be international players.

Milan's biggest rival for defending the Serie A title.

Arsenal has become the most comfortable team among all seeded teams. It is in Group H with Sevilla, Steaua Bucharest and Slavia Prague. Apart from Sevilla, the other two teams

The team can only be described as fish belly.

Although the professor usually showed no emotion or anger, when the results of the lottery were announced, the professor was still happy from ear to ear!

Among the top four in the Premier League, Arsenal has the weakest bench. In a Premier League with fierce competition and numerous events, Arsenal often falls behind at critical moments in the championship. The direct consequences of building a new stadium are at this moment.

It's absolutely obvious.

Being able to draw such a super lucky draw means that Arsenal can focus more on the English domestic league in the Champions League group stage to avoid being widened by Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool. In addition, Manchester City

The aggressive recruitment this summer also gave Wenger a great sense of crisis. The professor is worried that if he is not careful this season, even the top four in the Premier League may be a very difficult process!

When the results of each group draw were finalized, media reporters and fans who were familiar with European football immediately simulated the various possibilities of the group stage in their minds, and also had their own opinions on the prospects of the event.

For fans, watching games is only a small part of loving football. Pre-match analysis, post-match summaries and even various transfer anecdotes are also important factors that make up the football world. It is precisely because of such rich and colorful content that football becomes

It has become the number one sport in the world and has countless die-hard fans around the world.

However, all the groups received less attention than the defending champion Group F. After all, Manchester United is the most popular team in Europe, and UEFA also cleverly combined many elements into Group F to make it become

Full of attractions.

When Manchester United legend Schmeichel personally drew the second-tier Roma team into Group F, where Manchester United was located, there was a burst of laughter, and there were even loud whistles in the audience.

The on-site director reacted quickly and immediately switched the camera to the face of Roma coach Luciano Spallelli, trying to find some emotional changes on the Italian young coach's face.

Spallelli also knew that there must be countless cameras staring at him now. Even if he was cursing UEFA in his heart, he could not show it on his face. He was extremely uncomfortable.

In the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, Roma suffered a massacre by Manchester United. The 0:3 loss at home was understandable. After all, the strength gap between the two teams was still huge; however, at Old Trafford it was 0:10.

The disastrous defeat almost caused Spallelli to lose his coaching position.
