magic coach

The schedule after the Italian national derby is still tight. The middle of the week is the last round of the Champions League qualifying group stage, because Inter Milan has already qualified ahead of schedule. For them, this game is like a warm-up match, but even if Jiang Mu The youngsters and substitutes of the second team were sent to play, and the Nantes team, which had to win to qualify, was not able to win. The players in the mixed formation of Inter Milan knew that this game was related to Alkmaar's qualifying. In order to please the head coach , These players who stayed on the bench and the second team did not try their best. They tried their best to block, and the Nantes team was too impatient to win. As a result, the mixed formation of Inter Milan defeated Nantes 1-0 in the away game. A miracle was created, and after the Nantes team was defeated, the points were only 5 points, and they had already been eliminated in advance.

In the away game, although Alkmaar lost 1:2 to Galatasaray and scored 7 points with their opponents, but because they were better than Galatasaray in mutual record, they finally won the group with their mutual record superiority. Second and Inter Milan hand in hand to qualify.

In Group A, Real Madrid, which qualified ahead of schedule, lost to Lokomotiv Moscow, and Roma was also tied by Anderlecht. However, the counterattack of Luiss was too late, and this did not prevent Real Madrid and Roma from qualifying.

In Group B, Boavist is a dark horse, and Liverpool teamed up to qualify. In Group C, the giants Arsenal and the small club Panathinaikos also qualified. In Group E, the Serie A giants Juventus and the Portuguese Super League giants Porto did not Let any suspense happen, Group F Barcelona and Leverkusen qualify side by side. Group G and Group H are Deportivo, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Sparta Prague.

In this way, all the top 16 of the Champions League will be released, with three seats in Serie A, three in La Liga, three in the Premier League, one in the Eredivisie, two in the Bundesliga, two in the Portuguese Super League, one team in the Greek Super League, one in the Czech League, Ligue [-], Russian Super League and Turkish Super League. completely annihilated.

Compared with last season, both La Liga and Serie A have one more team that has reached the top 16 of the Champions League this season. The Premier League and the Bundesliga have the same level. Ligue 16 had two teams qualifying last season, but this season it has fallen, with none qualifying. If the Portuguese Super League continues to be strong, they may soon give up the title of the five major leagues.

In the past 5 seasons, Spanish teams have been brilliant in the European arena. Of the 10 teams participating in the UEFA Champions League final, 5 came from Spain, and 3 of them won the championship.The remaining 5 teams, 2 from Germany (Bayern twice), one from England (Manchester United), one from Italy (Juventus), and one from the Eredivisie (Alkmaar).

This season, it is difficult for the Spanish team to rest on the credit.The first stage of the UEFA Champions League group stage has all ended a few days ago. Although 4 of the 3 La Liga teams participating have advanced to the top 16, the prospects are not optimistic. 4 of the 3 Serie A teams have also advanced. In addition, there are 3 Premier League teams, 2 Bundesliga teams.In the top 16, there are 11 teams from the four major European leagues. This can only show that in the European arena, the distance between football "rich countries" and "poor countries" is widening.And football's "rich countries" will argue endlessly over the question, "Who is the best league in Europe?"

In fact, the results of the Champions League cannot be used as the only criterion for measuring the level of each country's league. It can only reflect the level of the top teams in each country, and cannot represent the overall level of a country.Supporters of Serie A believe that compared with La Liga, Serie A has more big-name stars and the competition is more intense. Many former La Liga stars are unknown in Serie A, such as Kovacevic, Claudio Lopez, Mendieta and more.But it is undeniable that football games are about winning, and in this regard, the Spanish team has done better than other teams.

This season may change. Since UEFA adopted a two-stage group stage in the Champions League, it is the first time that two Serie A teams have advanced to the last 2 as the first in the group, and Inter Milan is in Jiang Mu. Under the leadership of Inter Milan, the entire European football world is terrified. Under the leadership of Inter Milan, the Serie A team is very hopeful to reshape its glory in the European arena.

After losing to Inter Milan by a big score at home in the last round, there is no hope for Juventus in the league. They put all their energy on the Champions League. Juventus does not have Inter Milan's tactics that dazzle opponents, but they are practical, efficient.

Although Roma struggled in the domestic league and only scored 6 goals in the Champions League, their penultimate round drew with Real Madrid at the Bernabéu Stadium and their form rebounded.If they are thrown farther and farther by Inter Milan in the domestic league, the possibility of Roma focusing all their energy on the Champions League cannot be ruled out.If this is the case, it is not difficult for Rome to enter the top 8.

On the second day of the UEFA Champions League group stage, UEFA divided the teams into grades based on their group stage results. The 16 qualifying teams will be divided into four grades.Pot [-] teams are Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan; Teams in Pot [-] are Manchester United, Panathinaikos, Juventus, Bayer Leverkusen; Teams in Pot [-] are Liverpool, Porto, Prague Bada, Deportivo; Pot [-] teams are Roma, Boaviest, Arsenal, Alkmaar.

On Friday, in Geneva, Switzerland, UEFA held the UEFA Champions League second stage group draw ceremony. According to UEFA regulations, in the second stage of the Champions League, teams in the same group cannot come from the same team. Countries, and the teams that were grouped together in the first stage cannot be grouped again. 16 teams of four grades were divided into four groups:

Group A is Bayern, Manchester United, Porto and Roma.

Group B is Barcelona, ​​Liverpool, Juventus and AZ Alkmaar

Group C is Real Madrid, Panathinaikos, Sparta Prague and Boaviest

Group D is Inter Milan, Bayer Leverkusen, Deportivo, Arsenal

After the group drawing ceremony, some people were happy and some were worried. The most proud one was Real Madrid in Group C. They were extremely lucky. The worst player in each class was assigned to a group with him. According to the media, Real Madrid was recommended. After entering the quarter-finals, without the consumption and torture in the group stage, the probability of Real Madrid winning the Big Ears Cup has greatly increased. Now in the odds of winning the championship, Real Madrid is already at the top.

The next best signing is Inter Milan in Group D. Although Deportivo and Leverkusen are not weak, it is very difficult to threaten the status of Inter Milan. Their biggest possibility is to compete with Arsenal for second place. , Of course, the strength of these three teams is not bad, Inter Milan may capsize if they are not careful, and it is incomparable with Real Madrid's substitutes who can almost qualify.

Group A and Group B became the group of death. The old enemies of Bayern and Manchester United in Group A gathered together. When they were fighting bayonets, they stood beside the powerful Rome. A Romance of the Three Kingdoms between Britain, Germany and Italy is inevitable. Well, what a pity is that Porto is equally good. If they are assigned to Group C, they will definitely be the favorites to qualify, but in Group A, they will only have soy sauce.

In Group B, Barcelona and Liverpool play against each other, and there are many grievances and grievances, while the Serie A giants Juventus are even more powerful than them. It is completely unpredictable who will qualify from the three teams, and we can only wait and see. After Alkmaar left the head coach Jiang Mu and many main players, he is not even qualified to play soy sauce. The goal now is to play a few more games to earn some pocket money.

There is no doubt that every fan who sees the second stage of the Champions League will be excited.After the big waves washed the sand in the first stage, these 4 groups gathered all the essence of the European League, and the degree of luxury can be called the highest in the history of the Champions League.However, due to the heavy schedule, UEFA has planned to cancel the second stage of the group stage. However, because it will affect the income of the giants, UEFA's reform of the competition system has been collectively opposed by g14. When to cancel it is the result of the game between all parties.

Regarding the results of the lottery, Inter Milan had different reactions. Chairman Moratti was very happy. He thought it was good to be able to draw such a lottery. He couldn't expect to be as lucky as Real Madrid. He was full of confidence in qualifying for the group.

The head coach Jiang Mu reacted flatly, because he knew that Leverkusen this season was definitely not easy to mess with. They reached the final in the last life, but lost to Real Madrid unfortunately. In a sense, this group It is also the group of death, because Leverkusen is not well-known, and the risk has become even greater.

After the draw, Jiang Mu said: "It's not a good draw, but it can't be said to be a bad draw. The teams that have reached the top 16 are not easy to mess with. Even Real Madrid, they need to work hard if they want to qualify. To get out of the group, you must start well like the peripheral group stage, otherwise it will be unexpectedly difficult. Many people may think that our main enemy is Arsenal, but if you take a closer look at the peripheral group stage, you will know that Le Verkusen is actually the most difficult to deal with. We must be wary of them. Deportivo are not well-known, but they are the champions of La Liga. They are not a dog or a cat. If anyone is too optimistic, waiting for him will be failure .”

Although Jiang Mu said this, the excited Inter Milan stars thought that the head coach was just Chinese-style humility and respecting the opponent's performance. They didn't think Jiang Mu really thought as he said, so after the draw, Inter Milan Milan's stars have expressed optimism about the future.

Captain Zanetti said: "In such a list of the top 16, in addition to hand-picking, such a group can satisfy us. We are now the favorites to qualify from the group. I also think we have the strength to qualify."

The core Pirlo said that the situation is stable. He said, "Three Serie A teams, we are in the best situation. We will work hard to seize the opportunity and strive to achieve the goal of winning the championship."

The main striker Vieri said: "The strength of this team is very average. There is no super strong team. Arsenal is very strong, but their Champions League is sloppy. We are not afraid of them."

After the alien Ronaldo had a rift with Jiang Mu, he was more cautious in interviews and always spoke according to Jiang Mu's meaning, "Arsenal is a Premier League giant, Wenger is a successful coach, Leverkusen And Deportivo are strong factions, in such a group, we must show our highest level, so as to enter the quarterfinals."

The leaders of Serie A are a little low-key, but no one dares to underestimate them. According to the latest odds of winning the top 16, Real Madrid is 7 to 2, and they are the undisputed favorites. Inter Milan is ranked second at 6 to 1, followed by Manchester United and Bayern. .Juventus and Liverpool are not in the top three, but after the 18 finals, such odds will definitely change, football is always full of surprises.
