tenth
16. Champions League group of death
Next is the awarding of the best player of last season's UEFA Champions League.
The contenders for this award are Qiu Ze of Liverpool, Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United, and Lampard of Chelsea. These three are all from the top four teams of the UEFA Champions League last season, of which Manchester United and Liverpool advanced.
won the final, and Liverpool was the Champions League champion.
In fact, there should be little suspense about this award. Chelsea's Lampard was actually here to make up the numbers, and he was already lost to Paz. This award should go to Liverpool's Qiu Ze and Manchester United's Cristiano?
Between Ronaldo.
These two guys were the Golden and Silver Boot winners of the UEFA Champions League last season, and these two guys won the Best Midfielder and Best Forward in the UEFA Champions League last season respectively. They are undoubtedly the favorites.
However, among the two, Qiu Ze is undoubtedly the biggest favorite, because Qiu Ze's performance in the UEFA Champions League last season was obviously much better and more amazing than Cristiano Ronaldo, and Qiu Ze was still on the championship team
member.
Therefore, no matter who looks at it, they believe that this award has no suspense.
The guest of honor was former Real Madrid superstar Zidane. When Zidane announced who would be the best player in the Champions League, the scene was very quiet.
Qiu Ze, who was sitting below, was not very nervous at all. He himself thought that this award should be his. If it wasn't him, then there must be something shady about it.
Sure enough, the best player in the UEFA Champions League last season was Liverpool's Qiu Ze. Suddenly, the scene remembered the warm applause and they were congratulating Qiu Ze.
And Cristiano Ronaldo's face was very ugly. In his opinion, he should be the winner of this award. It should definitely be him. He was very unconvinced. At the same time, he also felt in his heart that he might win this award this year.
He was about to be suppressed by Qiu Ze.
Cristiano Ronaldo was very angry because this year's European Footballer and World Footballer awards seemed to be gradually moving away from him. Cristiano Ronaldo stared at Qiu Ze with gloomy eyes.
However, at this time, Qiu Ze did not see Cristiano Ronaldo's expression. He has now stepped onto the podium, where Zidane will present the award to Qiu Ze.
Seeing Qiu Ze coming up, Zidane looked at Qiu Ze with a smile, and then said: "Young man, you are very good! I believe that the future of world football will definitely belong to you, work hard!"
"Thank you! I'm your fan!" Qiu Ze also said with a smile. Then the two shook hands, and then, Zidane handed the trophy for the best player in Europe to Qiu Ze, and the scene immediately recalled the hottest applause.
At this point, the on-site UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony has basically ended.
At this time, various newspapers are very busy, working hard for tomorrow's newspapers. The matter about the UEFA Champions League group draw will definitely cover the entire sports media, and all kinds of predictions and speculations will spring up like mushrooms after rain.
pop up.
Of course, the most popular teams right now are the four teams in England. The Premier League has been extremely popular recently.
For four consecutive years, Premier League teams have appeared in the Champions League finals. In the last two Champions League top four, Premier League clubs have occupied three seats. Last season’s Champions League decisive battle was the first English derby. The accumulation of various brilliance has allowed the Premier League to surpass the league rankings.
La Liga has become the "biggest player in Europe" and has also allowed the four major clubs to be seeded in the UEFA Champions League group stage in the new season.
After the draw, the four major Premier League clubs have also taken their seats. It is more difficult for Liverpool and Arsenal to break into the top 16 than Manchester United and Chelsea. Comparatively speaking, the London Blue Lions are the best among the four Premier League teams.
, of course, they can avoid Bayern Munich and Juventus in the second tier. The "four major families" should remain optimistic about the prospects.
Among the four Premier League teams, Liverpool is in the most dangerous Group D. This group is the deadliest group in the UEFA Champions League this season. The teams in the same group as Liverpool are Marseille of France, Eindhoven of the Netherlands and Atletico Madrid of Spain.
.
Among them, Atletico Madrid is the most important team in the fourth tier. This also means that the golden boy Torres, who joined Anfield for a record transfer fee last summer, will return to the Calderon Stadium for the first time wearing a Red Army jersey. At present, Atletico Madrid
The team also includes former Liverpool players Luis Garcia and Pang Lepin; Atletico Madrid is also the only team in this group that has not won the European Champions League. They reached the final in 1974 but lost to Bayern.
Atletico Madrid has not participated in the European Champions Cup many times, but it has made at least the quarterfinals in five of the six times. It is considered a team with a very high "hit rate".
Marseille and Eindhoven, like Liverpool, are teams that have won the Holy Cup. Marseille is in the same group as Liverpool for the second consecutive season. Last season, Marseille faced Liverpool 0-4 at home.
The away game was 1-0, with former Red Army player Zenden playing for Marseille. As for PSV, they are no strangers to Liverpool. In the 2006-2007 season, the two teams fought four games. As a result, the Red Army won three and drew one, remaining unbeaten.
Although there should be a certain gap between these teams and Liverpool in terms of strength, this does not mean that Liverpool will definitely be able to defeat them and qualify from the group. The results of the Champions League group stage last season have said it all. In such a smooth group,
, Liverpool almost collapsed, and now it is even more dangerous to encounter this group of death.
Moreover, the current Liverpool team is not like the Liverpool team last season. Although the strength has increased, the team has not been integrated for a long time, and the tactical cooperation between them may not be tacit, especially the defense. Therefore, Liverpool wants to qualify from this group.
It is still very difficult. It can be said that it is the most difficult one among the top four in the Premier League to qualify from the group stage.
Arsenal has been a team lagging behind the Premier League in the Champions League in the past two seasons. This time the Gunners will face Porto, Fenerbahce and Dynamo Kiev in the group stage. According to the British News Agency: This is
It’s a very tricky group. Arsenal and Porto had faced each other in 2006-2007. At that time, the Gunners had an away draw and a home win but did not suffer a loss. It’s just that Henry and Hleb, who scored at the time, are no longer in Arsenal’s team; coincidentally,
Arsenal’s head-to-head record with Fenerbahce, who made it to the Champions League quarter-finals last season, is also an away draw (0-0) and a home win (2-0). Even the score is the same, except for the confrontation with the Turkish Super League club.
It dates back to 1979. As for Dynamo Kiev, it was not a good situation for Arsenal. The Gunners returned home as losers in both visits to Ukraine.
Therefore, Arsenal's group seems to be low risk, but in fact there is a turbulent undercurrent. Moreover, Arsenal's lack of reinforcements this season, and after losing Henry and Hleb one after another, the strength of this Arsenal team is definitely not as good as before.
, it will be difficult for them to advance.
The defending champion Manchester United caused an uproar in the UK due to its encounter with the Celtics of the Scottish Premier League. Of course, from a Scottish perspective, the Celtics drew a very difficult lottery. For Manchester United, the encounter was
"Yellow Submarine" will definitely trigger a series of nightmares. In addition to the two previous encounters with no results, Rooney expressed his dissatisfaction by applauding referee Nelson during the away game. As a result, he was sent off with a red card in the 65th minute. At the end of that season, Manchester United
They were eliminated at the bottom of the group stage.
However, the current Manchester United team is winning. Not only did they retain the hot Cristiano Ronaldo, but they also introduced the striker Berbatov. The Manchester United team's lineup remains intact and they are proud to reinforce it.
, his strength is definitely not stronger than last season.
Manchester United was the team that reached the finals last season. They have strengthened the team on the basis of maintaining the team's performance. This group stage is simply a piece of cake for them. Their qualifying should be very easy.
Chelsea's status in UEFA has also skyrocketed after driving away "thorny" coach Mourinho. Last season, Chelsea almost advanced to the finals, but being able to enter the Champions League semi-finals is already a big deal for Chelsea.
A historic breakthrough.
And Chelsea should be satisfied with the group they are in in this draw. Bordeaux and Cluj will hardly cause any trouble to the London Blue Lions. Even Roma, they were defeated by Chelsea forty-three years ago. In
After the draw results were announced, Kenyon said a lot of kind words and then changed the topic, "You have to say that we should qualify." In the eyes of some Blue Army die-hards, playing in Rome also has the advantage of preparing for the final in advance.
To adapt to the venue.
Chelsea's group is indeed the weakest among the top four in the Premier League. Of course, it is much easier for Chelsea to advance.
Judging from the entire draw ceremony, this season's UEFA Champions League should have three groups that can be called groups of death. In the end, Atletico Madrid teamed up with Liverpool, Marseille and PSV to create Group D with the most even strength.
It can be called the top favorite in the group of death. Group F includes Bayern Munich, Lyon, Fiorentina and Steaua Bucharest, and Group H includes Real Madrid, Juventus, Zenit St. Petersburg and Borissol. These two groups also have the ability to become
The potential of the Death Group.
In the group of Liverpool, Liverpool is the strongest, and the other three teams are of equal strength. Moreover, these three teams may not have the ability to impact Liverpool, especially at their home court, they also have the opportunity to overthrow the Liverpool team.
This group composed of the Premier League, Ligue 1, Eredivisie and La Liga teams can be called the deadliest group in the UEFA Champions League this season.
Among the other two groups that are expected to become the death group, Group H has the two giants Real Madrid and Juventus. They have naturally become the first choice to qualify. In addition, last season's UEFA Cup winner San Pietro Zeni
The special team cannot be ignored. The strong economic strength of the Russians is the backing, and their unique geographical advantage is also the reason why Zenit St. Petersburg is challenging the giants. As for Belarusian Borisol, he can only play the role of accompanying the prince to study.
.
Zenit St. Petersburg's three home stadiums are likely to help them successfully break out of this group, because Russia's home stadium does have a huge advantage. No team can guarantee that they can win 100% when they go there, and
As the winner of last season's UEFA Cup, Zenit St. Petersburg's strength cannot be ignored.
In Group F, Bayern Munich and Lyon, the two dominant players in their respective leagues last season, meet. The former is working hard, while the latter has been competing in the Champions League for many years. They are naturally the favorites to qualify. Fiorentina cannot be ignored. In Plan,
Under the leadership of Deli, Viola is very strong, and there are also strong players such as Gilardino and Mutu. If you are not careful, Fiorentina may become the dark horse of Group F. As for Steaua Bucharest, its strength is limited and it is difficult to achieve anything.
Therefore, although the last two groups still look a little dead, the degree of death is obviously difficult to pose a threat to the Liverpool group, so the Liverpool group is a well-deserved super-death group.
