Star Card System

Looking at Xia Xing in front of him, Maguire's face was full of sincerity.

His words just now were not clichés or empty words.

They came from the heart.

He had many choices after leaving Hull City.

In England, such top central defenders are very scarce.

Many teams have extended olive branches to Maguire.

But Maguire finally chose Leicester City.

On the one hand, Leicester City guaranteed him a starting position.

On the other hand, Leicester City's five-crown miracle made Maguire fascinated.

And the core representative of the five-crown miracle is Xia Xing.

In today's international football, no one dares to underestimate Xia Xing.

Even in the era of Ronaldo and Messi, Xia Xing is a unique existence.

The starting point of the era of the two heroes was Kaka. After him, the story of the two heroes taking turns to win the Golden Ball began.

And now, Xia Xing has interrupted this balance.

Now the international football world is discussing whether Xia Xing will be the star who ends the era of the two heroes?

Everyone is waiting to see.

And just last season, Xia Xing once again led Manchester United to a revival.

The honor of the four crowns made Manchester United glorious again.

All of this made Maguire fascinated and admired Xia Xing.

In the first battle, Maguire tried his best.

But even so, he still lost.

Hearing Xia Xing praising himself, Maguire was in a very good mood.

Looking at Xia Xing walking away, Maguire suddenly had a thought.

If there is a chance to play football with him, it must be very interesting...

No one knows what the future will be like.

We can only work hard to do well in the present.

After winning Leicester City, Manchester United won three consecutive league games.

In three games, they accumulated 9 points, scored 10 goals, and did not concede 1 goal.

Such a start is quite beautiful.

But even so, Manchester United still failed to widen the lead.

Manchester City behind them also has 9 points and scored 10 goals, but they lost 3 goals and are temporarily second.

Even so, such results are definitely good.

Guardiola's team has been in great momentum since the beginning of the league.

It will be extremely difficult for Manchester United to defend their title this season.

Not only that, Manchester United has a more important European war task this season.

You should know that the intensity of the Champions League and the Europa League are completely different from the strength of the opponents.

On August 26, Manchester United defeated Leicester City.

On August 29, Mourinho flew to Zurich, the headquarters of UEFA, to participate in the Champions League group stage draw ceremony.

The result of this draw is very important.

For Mourinho, they don't care who they face in the group stage.

It doesn't matter who they play against, they will do it!

That's no problem.

However, if you consider the team's multi-line operations, you still expect to draw a good lot.

After all, multi-line operations involve rotation issues. The league opponents are very strong. If the opponents in the Champions League group stage are also so strong, it is easy to collapse when there is an English League Cup event inserted.

So Mourinho sat in the audience and paid close attention to the upcoming draw ceremony.

As lots were drawn one after another, the final result was finally clear.

For Manchester United, this draw is not particularly good...

As the first seed in the eight groups, Manchester United was the first to be drawn.

With the double buffs of the Premier League champion and the Europa League champion last season, one was drawn, which is impressive.

Group A: Manchester United, Besiktas, Dortmund, Sporting CP.

In this group, Manchester United does not seem to have too strong opponents, but it is actually not easy to play.

Dortmund, who was still crushed last season, still cannot be underestimated.

As the champion of the Turkish Super League, Besiktas is also at the top level of the second-tier in Europe, and Manchester United needs to go all out.

Sporting CP has many powerful players, and their strength is obviously greater than their fame.

This group stage journey is not easy for Manchester United.

Group B: Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Celtic, Anderlecht.

There is basically no suspense in this group, and Bayern and Paris should take the top two places.

As the champion of the Bundesliga last season, Bayern is still the top club in Europe, and their level is at the crushing level.

Paris Saint-Germain's form fluctuated last season, and they were eventually robbed of the league title by Monaco, but this season's "400 million reckless" transfers have made them still a strong contender for the Champions League title.

Group C: Roma, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Qarabagh.

This group can be described as the group of death!

Roma, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid are all top giants, and their style of play is tough.

It is reasonable for any two teams to appear in the end.

Qarabagh is trembling on the side, and they basically have no chance of qualifying.

However, facing three giants in the group stage, their ticket revenue has also turned numb, so it is not bad to calculate this way.

Group D: Juventus, Barcelona, ​​Spartak Moscow, Olympiacos.

Last season's Serie A champion Juventus is in the lead, and Barcelona, ​​the La Liga giant that shook Europe, is in the list. These two teams are likely to qualify together.

However, Spartak Moscow and Olympiacos should not be underestimated.

The biggest advantage of these two teams is their home field strength. If Juventus and Barcelona lose at home, it will be hard to predict their final qualification.

Group E: Benfica, Liverpool, Sevilla, Maribor.

Benfica, as the champion of the Portuguese Super League last season, was drawn as the top seed.

However, everyone is still more optimistic about Liverpool and Sevilla.

After all, the strength of these two giants is obviously stronger than others, and even Benfica will find it extremely difficult to qualify.

Group F: Feyenoord, Manchester City, Shakhtar Donetsk, Naples.

As the champion of the Dutch Eredivisie last season, Feyenoord was drawn as the top seed.

However, they are the least optimistic.

Manchester United and Naples in the same group are both strong and have the greatest possibility of qualifying.

Shakhtar Donetsk also has many world-class stars, and there is a great possibility of them appearing.

On the contrary, Feyenoord, relying on a group of talented but inexperienced young players, has a hard time qualifying from the group.

Group G: Monaco, Basel, Porto, RB Leipzig.

If the definition of the group of death is the qualifying situation rather than the number of giants, then Group G is more like the group of death than Group C.

French Ligue 1 champion Monaco leads the group, while Basel, Porto and RB Leipzig are all strong.

Which of these four teams will qualify is within the fans' expectations.

Group H: Real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur, CSKA Moscow, APOEL.

The last group is obviously a duet between Real Madrid and Tottenham.

The La Liga champion and the Premier League powerhouse, the advantages of the two teams are obvious, and the situation of qualifying is very stable.

CSKA Moscow and APOEL are likely to be runner-up teams.

32 European powerhouses gathered on the Champions League stage this season. Who will finally ascend to the throne is highly anticipated! (End of this chapter)
