It is a very happy thing for Alkmaar to qualify for the Champions League two rounds in advance. They only need to play well in the league before the end of March. The Champions League games can be used for training.tofu novel

For a small club like Alkmaar, double-line battles can be avoided at the critical moment at the end of the league. Even if there are only more than 20 days, the main players can get a better rest. It is possible to come back, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this period of time is more precious to Alkmaar than gold.

It is very happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.Because of Jiang Mu's suspension, he simply didn't even go to the UEFA Champions League match. He only asked Lin Nazhou and the coaching staff to go to the match instead of him. Help, Jiang Mu listed almost all the ways to deal with various situations that may arise in the game, and the assistant coaches only need to operate according to the various situations listed by Jiang Mu.Although the actual situation may be very different, but because Alkmaar has already qualified for the group stage, it is only a matter of first and second, so Jiang Mu doesn't care about it, and let the assistant coaches and substitutes do it.If you win or tie, the bonus will be distributed directly to the substitutes and these second team players, and if you lose, you will learn from it.

However, what Jiang Mu didn't expect was that under the stimulus of the bonus, the substitutes and the players of the second team performed well. At home, they drew 1:1 with Chelsea, who was eager to qualify, and Lazio lost the depression to Alkmaar in the last game. Vented on Marseille, they went on a killing spree and beat Marseille 5:1 at home.

In this way, Alkmaar is still the first, but Lazio has left Chelsea by as much as three points. In the last battle between Lazio and Chelsea, Chelsea must win to qualify, and Lazio can qualify as second in the group as long as they are undefeated.Marseille was eliminated from the Champions League ahead of schedule.

In Group A, Barcelona still maintained a strong momentum, beating Hertha Berlin 3:1, reported the shame of being tied in the first round, and completely obliterated Hertha Berlin's hope of qualifying.

In Group B, Valencia showed their strength at home and defeated Bordeaux 4:1, while Manchester United also returned to strength, defeating Fiorentina 2:0 at home, reporting the hatred of losing to the Italian team 12-9 in the last away game.This is Manchester United with 3 points in five rounds, and has already qualified ahead of schedule, while Valencia is showing off behind, and has become the second favorite in the group with [-] points, but No.[-] Fiorentina is also entirely possible to replace them. If you want to qualify, you need to look at the faces of Manchester United and Bordeaux.

Bayern continued to be strong in Group C, defeating Rosenborg 2-0, while Real Madrid was still in decline. They were even tied by Dynamo Kiev at home. They now only have 7 points, while Dynamo Kiev has 4 points. Real Madrid must be unbeaten in the first round to qualify from the group. This is an irony for Real Madrid, which has just acquired Zidane at a sky-high price.

In the last round, Alkmaar challenged Marseille away. Now there are two teams, one has already qualified ahead of time, and the other has been eliminated early. Marseille is fighting for face, and Alkmaar is fighting for money. Both sides played very well, but because It has nothing to do with big interests, that is, 40 euros, so it is not intense. In the end, the two sides drew 0:0.In the life-and-death battle between Lazio and Chelsea, Chelsea, who played at home, needed a victory to advance, and played a little nervously. In the end, they lost 1:2 to Lazio, who was in good condition, and lost the right to qualify.Alkmaar and Lazio qualify from the group of death together.

At the same time, in Group C, Real Madrid beat Rosenborg 1-0 in the away game, and finally did not let a big upset come out. After Bayern locked the first place in the group, they discharged all the substitutes because they had no money incentives. , The substitute did not work hard, and the result was a 0:2 loss to Dynamo Kiev at home.

Group B is also almost a group of death. In addition to Manchester United qualifying ahead of the group stage, the difference between Valencia and Fiorentina is only two points. Valencia has 9 points and Fiorentina has 7 points. Although the fate of playing Bordeaux at home is not in the hands of Fiorentina, they can't say that they have no hope. As long as Manchester United beats or draws with Valencia, they beat Bordeaux and they can qualify as second in the group.

However, at the critical moment of fate choice, Valencia did not control its own destiny and was tied by Manchester United, while Fiorentina did not grasp the throat of fate. They also drew 3:3 with Bordeaux at home. In the end, Valencia West Asia came second in the group and reached the quarter-finals together with Manchester United without any risk.

There is not much to talk about in Group A. Barcelona is riding away, Porto has 7 points, and Sparta Prague has 5 points. If Sparta Prague wants to be as upset as Alkmaar and enter the quarterfinals, they must beat Barcelona , Porto must also lose. This is a difficult thing for Sparta Prague. They were massacred by Barcelona 0:5 in the first round. This time they had no confidence in defeating Barcelona. When they heard the news that Porto lost to Hertha Berlin, which was eliminated, all the Spartans in Prague regretted it, because fate gave them a chance, and Barcelona did not deliberately want to win, but they lost to own.

On March 24th, when all the group matches are over, the quarterfinals of the Champions League are also freshly released, Group A: Barcelona, ​​Porto; Group B: Manchester United, Valencia; Group C, Bayern, Real Madrid; Group D: Ark Mal, Lazio.

Among these eight teams, there are four giants of Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Bayern, and Real Madrid, three famous teams of Valencia, Lazio, and Porto, and Alkmaar has a silk.

According to common sense, the wealthy, rich and handsome should be ranked at the forefront of the winning odds, followed by middle-class white-collar workers Valencia, Lazio and Porto, and the poorest Alkmaar can be ranked last, but this time it is quite different, except for Barcelona. , Bayern tied for first in odds, defending champion Manchester United ranked third, Real Madrid fourth, followed by Alkmaar, the top team, and then three teams including middle-class white-collar Porto.

After the winning odds came out, no one questioned the brains of the European bookmakers, because Alkmaar’s performance is indeed much better than Valencia, Lazio, and Porto. They are considered by many famous players to be likely to reach the final , to compete for the final championship, but Valencia, Lazio and Porto have little hope of winning anyway, and it is profitable to play one more game.Even being eliminated in the quarterfinals won't be too sad.

With the end of the last round of the group stage, the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the Champions League kicked off at noon on the second day.

The draw for the 14 finals will be in the form of random draws, without any principle of avoidance. At the same time, the order of home and away games and the results of the semi-finals will be drawn.

The host of this draw is UEFA Secretary-General Ifantino. Ifantino said that in this draw, the team drawn first will be the host first and then the away.Afterwards, the big screen at the scene showed the highlights of the games of the top eight teams, as well as the landmark buildings of the cities where the eight teams are located, and then the big screen played the image ambassador of the UEFA Champions League this season and the famous former Marseille star Papin legend. At the same time, Papan was also the guest of draw for this ceremony.

Papin was the first to draw the La Liga giants Real Madrid, and then the Premier League powerhouse, the defending champion Manchester United. After this lottery was drawn, the guests immediately talked a lot, applauded, sighed, and gloated excitedly, because The two giants are drawn together, and the discipline of other teams encountering the giants is much lower

In the second group, La Liga giants Barcelona were first drawn, and then the opponents of the red and blue teams drawn were Alkmaar from the Eredivisie.

This time, most of the audience was gloating and laughing. The big dark horse met the richest family in the best condition. Now let's see which one is more fateful, the dark horse or the white horse.

Jiang Mu and Shi Helingjia looked at each other, and they both read helplessness in each other's eyes. I can't pass this level, even if I pass Barcelona's level, I'm afraid I will pay a heavy price, and it will be difficult to play in the semi-finals later.However, Schelinga was very unhappy to play at home first and then away, but Jiang Mu didn't care. In this level of matchup, the factors of home and away are not big anymore.

Dutch coach Luiz.Van Gaal was overjoyed when he saw that his team was drawn out, but after seeing Alkmaar was drawn, his face sank again.

Van Gaal is the coach of the Netherlands. He just came to La Liga from the Eredivisie. Barcelona played very well under his guidance. There is no pressure to qualify for the group stage, and the league is going smoothly. They said a long time ago that it doesn’t matter what kind of opponent they draw. .However, when opponents like Jiang Mu and Alkmaar were actually drawn, it still made Van Gaal a little uneasy. The opponent was the Eredivisie team, and he was very familiar with it, but he was a little unfamiliar with Alkmaar. He just knew that this was a magical team. The team is a dark horse. When encountering such an unreliable team, Van Gaal really thought about it and thought about how to pass the test completely.

In the third group, Bayern Munich was drawn first. The opponent of the Bundesliga giants is Porto from the Portuguese Super League. Porto in the Portuguese Super League is also recognized as a weaker team in the quarterfinals. Bayern has no problem advancing to the semi-finals.It's almost like going through the motions.

The fourth group no longer needs to draw lots to know the final result.Because there are only two teams left, Lazio and Valencia.The head coaches of the two teams, Eriksson and Cooper, both smiled when they saw Bayern Munich being drawn. Now they are full of confidence in advancing to the semi-finals.

Then Papin drew the semi-final match, the winner of Valencia and Lazio will face the winner of Barcelona and Alkmaar, and the winner of Real Madrid and Manchester United will face the winner of Porto and Bayern Munich.The order of home and away games is also that the team drawn first plays home first.

At this point, the UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony is completely over, and the next quarter will be a thrilling quarter-elimination match.
