    Fiorentina's advance to the top 32 of the Champions League did not surprise the outside world. In the past three seasons, Fiorentina's upward momentum has been very obvious. Its level is comparable to Sporting Lisbon. It has also achieved an 1:0 advantage in the away game. It can be said that promotion is a matter of course.  And being eliminated is an upset.  Manchester United, Liverpool and Inter Milan, who had a big score in the first round, lacked fighting spirit, but the disparity in strength gave their opponents almost zero chance of upset.  Manchester United put on what Sir Alex Ferguson called the best defense in 10 years and beat their opponents in Hungary. Neville's serious injury was the only regret.  Liverpool, who are preparing for Friday's European Super Cup, lost to CSKA Sofia in 7-1, but still qualified with a total score of 10.  The most noteworthy thing is the performance of the three new Champions League teams from the four major leagues. Udinese defeated the UEFA Cup runner-up Sporting Lisbon at home and successfully qualified. Betis defeated Monaco away from home, and Villarreal defeated Everton at home.  The combat effectiveness of both new armies is very strong.  Other traditional giants such as Ajax, Rangers, Rosenborg, etc. all passed smoothly.  In fact, driven by huge interests and honors, among the 16 third-round matches of the Champions League qualifying matches, almost none could be called an upset, such as Lokomotiv Moscow being eliminated by Vienna and Everton being eliminated by Pele.  The loss of Villarreal cannot be called an upset. Lokomotiv Moscow and Rapid Vienna are at similar levels. It is normal for Villarreal and Everton to eliminate whoever.  ??If we lower the level a little further, the only upsets are Thun's elimination of Swedish champion Malmo, and Bratislava's penalty kick elimination of Partizan.  Fiorentina's promotion made Chinese fans cheer, but Everton's elimination made Chinese fans very regretful, because Everton also has a Chinese star - Li Gang. If Everton advances, there will be a chance to stage a Chinese derby in the Champions League group stage.  , This is a scene that all Chinese fans have fantasized about before, but now, this feat is no longer possible.  But for Chen Yu¡¯s fans, this can be considered a good thing.  Chen Yu can exclusively become the first Chinese player to participate in the Champions League group stage.  After two rounds of competition in the third round of qualifying, 16 teams, including Fiorentina, entered the Champions League group stage. They are Manchester United, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Fiorentina, Villarreal, and Real Betis.  , Werder Bremen, Anderlecht, Club Brugge, Ajax, Rangers, Rapid Vienna, Artmedia, Thun, Panathinaikos, Rosenborg.  There are 16 teams shortlisted through the qualifying round and 15 teams that directly enter the group stage, as well as Liverpool who participate as a wild card. A total of 32 teams will compete in Monte Carlo, Monaco on the second day after the qualifying round.  Group draw.  Among the thirty-two teams, 13 giants from the Gl4 Group have taken their seats, and only 5 of the top names are unfamiliar. Udinese, Betis and Villarreal each eliminated strong rivals and entered the group stage. Switzerland's Thun  The team and Bratislava of Slovakia played the role of grassroots dark horses. When they came to the Champions League, especially in the group stage, Fiorentina and Villarreal could only be regarded as dark horses, acting as spoilers, while Brussels  Teams like Japan, Rapid Vienna, Artmedia, Thun, Panathinaikos, and Rosenborg basically come here to earn some pocket money. In this draw ceremony, fans and the media paid the most attention  The real question is whether the 13 wealthy teams will be drawn together and which group will become the group of death.  According to UEFA¡¯s club points system, the top 8 teams in points are classified as seed teams, and the other teams are further divided into 3 levels.  During the draw, l teams will be drawn from each l group to form l groups, with a total of 8 groups, provided that teams from the same league are in different groups.  The first-tier teams are: Real Madrid 13UAC Milan 19l Barcelona l17.  U Liverpool l15.  RU4 Manchester United l10.  RU4 Inter Milan 1019l Bayern 97. 16 River Senna 93.  RU4 The teams in the second pot are: Porto 93.739 Juventus 93.19l Eindhoven 84.145 Lyon 8 shots Natsinaikos 70.715 Chelsea UR.  RU Park Real 58.  River Jax.  145 Third gear: Bruges 50. 47U Anderlecht 47. 47U Olympiacos 46. 715 Schalke 0444. 16U Sparta Prague 43. 3 Lille 4 [4 Glasgow Rangers 40. 47U Not Lai  Mei 40. 16U Fourth gear: Benfica 36. 739 Rosenberg 36.  UU5 Betis34.  U Fiorentina 30. 19l Fenerbahce.  87 Rapid Vienna 15. 8 Thun RR7 Bratislava 4850 The defending champion Liverpool is special. Although they are listed as a seed team, they do not enjoy the treatment of "avoidance from the same league" because they are specially approved to participate.  It is possible to meet Chelsea and Juventus who are in the first tier.  Although Serie A¡¯s new tycoon Fiorentina has risen strongly and become a strong team that is feared by the entire European football world, because they have not appeared in the European competition for three years, their points are very low and they can only be reduced to the fourth tier.  Having two strong teams in a group is not "terrible". For example, AC Milan and Barcelona, ??Juventus and Bayern last season. Since the other two opponents in the same group are weaker, the strong team can often win after scoring enough points against the weak team.Join hands to qualify.  Therefore, a group with three strong teams of even strength can be called a "Group of Death".  It seems that the "death group" is inevitable in the draw, and because of the special characteristics of Liverpool and Fiorentina, whether they will be grouped with Chelsea will become an important basis for whether the group will die or not, and to what extent.  On Thursday evening, the Champions League group draw officially began. Under the auspices of UEFA Secretary General David Taylor and competition director George, teams from four levels were divided into eight groups.  Group A is: Bayern, Juventus, Club Brugge, Rapid Vienna.  Group H: Arsenal, Ajax, Sparta Prague, Thun.  Group C: Barcelona, ??Panathinaikos, Werder Bremen, Fiorentina.  Group D: Manchester United, Villarreal, Lille, Benfica.  Group P: AC Milan, PSV Eindhoven, Schalke 04, Fenerbahce.  Group P: Real Madrid, Lyon, Olympiacos, Rosenborg.  Group G: Liverpool, Chelsea.  Anderlecht, Betis.  Group H: Inter Milan, Porto, Rangers, Bratislava.  This draw confirmed that "enemies never get together". Defending champion Liverpool and Chelsea staged a Premier League derby. Serie A's top three AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus also reunited with last season's old rivals PSV Eindhoven, Porto and Bayern Munich respectively.  , Manchester United met Villarreal, who played for Forlan, and also met on a narrow road. The media and fans have been worried about Liverpool creating a death group, but after the draw results came out, the fans of the Red Army and the Blue Army were relieved. Although they met on a narrow road, the two  Opponents Real Betis and veteran powerhouse Anderlecht are also strong, but they cannot affect the qualifying of the Red Army and Blue Army.  The results of UEFA¡¯s draw basically guarantee the interests of the seeded teams.  Arsenal and Inter Milan have both encountered ideal underdogs. The ones that are relatively close in strength are Group C where Barcelona is located, Group D where Manchester United is located, and Group G where Chelsea is located.  Manchester United and Barcelona stand out in their respective groups, but Manchester United's three opponents Villarreal, Lille and Benfica, as well as Florence and Werder Bremen in Group C of Barcelona, ????are equally strong. The competition for the second qualifying spot in these two groups will be  Quite tragic.  After the lottery results came out, naturally some people were happy and some were sad.  Villarreal, Real Betis, Thun and Artmedia are the four teams participating in the Champions League group stage for the first time. Villarreal and Real Betis naturally have some ideas to see if they have a chance to win.  To advance to the top, Fuchun Thun and Artmedia are here to see the world. For them, as long as they don't lose completely, they have won.  A quasi-powerful team like Fiorentina has reached the top 16 before, but has never reached the quarterfinals. Now, reaching the quarterfinals is their goal.  Florence does not have many stars, but it has the same steel defense as all excellent Italian teams, and an extremely difficult Chinese killer Chen Yu. The efficiency of averaging one goal per game makes all teams feel  fear.  After receiving the draw results, Fiorentina coach Prandelli said: "This is really a tough group. We cannot ignore Panathinaikos and Werder Bremen. It is not easy to compete for second place in the group. But we have nothing.  "There is nothing to lose." Fiorentina captain Chen Yu is very confident about qualifying for the group: "This lottery is not bad, at least there are two giants. Barcelona is better than us. There is no doubt that he is better than the other three teams."  They are all strong, but if we can defeat Panathinaikos and Bremen, there will be no problem in advancing, but if we want to reach the quarterfinals, we need luck." Barcelona President Laporta remained cautiously optimistic: "This is.  It may be a good sign, but the German and Italian teams are always difficult to deal with. "In Rijkaard's analysis, all three teams have difficulties to deal with.  "Werder Bremen made Valencia stumble last season; Panathinaikos' away game will not be easy. In the 2001 season, Barcelona led by Rexach lost to Panathinaikos in Athens.  Fiorentina is something that every team is unwilling to encounter. Think about their forward Chen. If you can't score, you will basically lose, because Chen has averaged more than one goal per game since his debut. "  There are also those who have drawn a good lottery but are not greedy enough, like Juventus. In addition to Bayern, their opponents, Brugge and Rapid Vienna are weak, but Capello said: "You must be very careful when beating Bayern, and Bruges is also a bad player."  We don't know much about Rapid Vienna, but they eliminated strong teams like Lokomotiv Moscow. "Arsenal is a team that lacks confidence. Arsenal's signings can't be better. Their opponents are.  Ajax, Sparta Prague and Thun, but club vice-president Dane said: "We always ask ourselves why we can't do better and achieve the desired success in Europe. This is an unattainable ambition.  ¡­we need to?Achieving success Every team cannot ignore it. I hope that our Swiss defender Senderos can act as a spy and provide some intelligence about Thun, Switzerland.  ¡± There are also those who deliberately exaggerate and sensationalize. Before the draw, madman Mourinho was dissatisfied with UEFA for ranking Chelsea in the second tier. He believed that UEFA used five-year results as the seeding standard and completely ignored the football team.  The team's recent record is unreasonable. After the draw results came out, the madman contradicted himself and believed that this group was very dangerous. "This is not only because of Liverpool, no matter who we drew, all the seeded teams are very dangerous. They are all dangerous."  It's a wealthy family.  This group is dangerous because the third and fourth pots are weaker teams, but we drew Anderlecht and Betis.  Anderlecht has a glorious history in Europe. Betis is participating for the first time, but it is very strong and one of the best teams in Spain.  " One hour after the draw results were announced, the famous European betting company William Hill immediately adjusted the winning odds. Chelsea is still the top favorite to win the tournament. The second and third place are Barcelona and AC Milan, Real Madrid and Juventus  , Manchester United, Arsenal, Inter Milan, Bayern, and Lyon ranked in the top ten, while the defending champion Liverpool only ranked 10th. As the three dark horse candidates this season, Villarreal ranked highest, at 1st.  position, Real Betis ranked 13th, and Fiorentina was the least favored, they only ranked 16th.
