Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the fourth round of the Premier League, all four giants won, but the biggest beneficiary was Liverpool. After Arsenal defeated the leader Manchester City, they replaced Manchester City and became the new leader of the Premier League.  The fly in the ointment is that Liverpool injured two central defenders in this game. Hyypia will have to rest for at least one game, and Carragher will have to rest for at least a month. Liverpool, which was originally short of personnel at the central defender position, is now even more lacking.  To make matters worse, they even had to let full-back Abeloa play as a central defender in the next game.  Fortunately, Liverpool¡¯s opponent in the next round, Derby County, is a newly promoted team with limited strength. Even if Liverpool gives up an ace shooter and two main central defenders, they can definitely win.  After the game, Liverpool's management did not give up on appealing for Chen Yu. They had such a difficult time with newly promoted Sunderland. We don't know what will happen in the following games. If they can successfully ban Chen Yu for one game,  , then Liverpool will have one more chance of winning. If the appeal is unsuccessful, there will be no loss to Liverpool. Therefore, Liverpool has been appealing and constantly complained about Chen Yu in the media. However, the Football Association obviously does not buy it.  Chen Yu did not relent at all on the penalty.  The pro-Liverpool British media believe that the Football Association is suspected of suppressing Liverpool because last season, after Chen Yu returned from injury, Liverpool won 24 consecutive games and snatched the championship from Manchester United. The Football Association is worried about Liverpool this season.  A decisive move made the title race lose suspense early on. Without suspense, it would be unattractive. The FA gave Chen Yu such a heavy ban just to slow down Liverpool's progress and make the competition for the Premier League title more intense.  The media who don't like Liverpool and Chen Yu believe that Chen Yu's punishment is not only not severe, but also too light, because Chen Yu not only hit people first, but also actively participated in the subsequent group fights. Chen Yu's punishment should be increased.  , otherwise it will not be enough to deter other players who commit crimes on the court.  The media's statement is just to attract more fans' attention. They have never cared so much about the authenticity of the matter, and this kind of conspiracy theory has no fundamental harm to the Football Association. The Football Association is too lazy to control the media.  Say something, they know very well that the fans' attention will last for a week at most, and once the new game starts, the fans will immediately forget what the media has said now.  In fact, in less than a week, fans¡¯ attention has been attracted by the upcoming Champions League group stage draw and the subsequent European Super Cup.  The draw ceremony for the Champions League group stage was held in the UEFA auditorium in Nyon, Switzerland, the day after the Champions League qualifying rounds.  Although Chen Yu will also participate in the subsequent European Super Cup games at Monaco II Stadium in Monaco and Sevilla, the draw ceremony for the Champions League group stage will also include an award ceremony for the major awards of last season's Champions League. As the protagonist,  Chen Yu also came to the scene with head coach Benitez and club manager Rick Barry.  When Chen Yu rushed to the UEFA lecture hall in Nyon, Switzerland, the UEFA lecture hall was already crowded with guests, the stars were shining, and it was very lively.  Seeing the arrival of Chen Yu, Benitez and Rick Barry, reporters immediately focused their cameras on these three people and started filming. Other stars who are familiar with Chen Yu and Benitez include  Club officials also came over to greet Chen Yu.  Chen Yu is now very different from the last time he participated in the Champions League draw ceremony. Last time, Chen Yu was just showing his talents, and now, Chen Yu has become a popular candidate for the World Footballer. Come and meet Chen Yu  Yu greeted more people.  Chen Yu is used to this kind of situation. He calmly and patiently greeted the participating stars and then found his seat in the front row and sat down, waiting for the lottery and award ceremony to begin.  UEFA divided the 32 teams into four levels and adopted the principle of "avoidance of teams from the same league" to draw lots. The 32 teams will be divided into 8 groups to start the group stage competition.  The second leg of the qualifying round between Sevilla and AEK Athens has been postponed to next week due to the tragic death of Sevilla player Pueta, but the Champions League draw will not be affected by this.  Therefore, when UEFA drew lots, only 31 places were confirmed, and the last seat has not yet been announced.  However, UEFA has already acquiesced that the Sevilla team, which easily won 2-0 in the first round, successfully advanced, and the winner of Sevilla and AEK Athens will not be divided with the teams from Spain and Greece during the draw.  .  If Sevilla is upset, AE Athens will become the fourth-tier team, and Celtic will replace Sevilla as the second-tier team.  In addition, due to the impact of winter weather conditions, CSKA Moscow and FC Copenhagen will fall into first or third place in their respective groups, allowing them to play away games on match day six. ?

Everyone looked at the classification of each team in the information and talked about it. They were all guessing about the opponents they might be assigned and which ones they most wanted to play against.  A group of opponents.  About half an hour later, Pinto, the host of the Champions League group stage draw ceremony, came to the rostrum of the venue together with UEFA Secretary General David Taylor and the legendary former Soviet Union goalkeeper Dasayev.  "The draw and award ceremony are about to begin. Before we begin, please let us observe a moment of silence for the Sevilla player Puerta who just passed away." Host Pinto suggested to all the guests.  Antonio Puerta is a Spanish football player who was selected for the Spanish national team in 2006. During the La Liga match between Sevilla and Getafe this season, Seville player Puerta suddenly fell to the ground and fell into a coma. Three rescue efforts were required.  Heaven has no effect and dies.  At Pinto¡¯s suggestion, everyone at the scene stood up and observed a minute¡¯s silence for Puerta.  Taylor then introduced the basic principles of this draw and awarded the best goalkeeper in Europe last season.  It was not the championship-winning goalkeeper Reina who received this award, but Chelsea goalkeeper Cech. After Cech received the award, he and the former Soviet legendary goalkeeper Dasayev became the guests of the draw to draw lots for the first-tier team.  .  The first-tier teams were first drawn into each group. Runner-up AC Milan was first drawn into Group D. Gunners Arsenal, who have entered the Champions League for ten consecutive seasons, entered Group H. Red Devils Manchester United was drawn into Group F. 2006 champion Barcelona entered Group E.  Group C; La Liga giants Real Madrid were assigned to Group C, last season's Serie A champion Milan entered Group G, last season's champion Liverpool entered Group A, and Chelsea, which became the seeded team for the first time, was assigned to Chelsea.  This round of drawing lots was naturally uneventful, and there was not even any business discussed below.  Then Pinto announced that Maldini, the best defender in Europe, came to the stage to receive the award. There was a round of applause. Everyone dedicated their admiring eyes to Maldini. This is not about how great Maldini is now, but that he can persevere.  The spirit of not retiring now touches everyone.  After giving the award with tears in his eyes, Maldini and the legendary goalkeeper Dasayev drew lots for the second-tier team.  The first team to be drawn out of the second tier is the recent Champions League dark horse Eindhoven. They entered Group G where Milan is located.  La Liga powerhouse Valencia was drawn out second, and the Bats were placed in Group B with last season's quarter-final opponent Chelsea.  Bremen was drawn third and they fought with Real Madrid in Group C.  The winner of Sevilla and AEK Athens enters Group H, with Arsenal being the seeded team in this group.  Lyon and Barcelona are in Group E, while Benfica and AC Milan will compete in Group D.  Roma were drawn second to last and they entered Group F, where Manchester United was.  Porto, the last second-tier team, enters Group A and will start a fierce battle with Liverpool.  After the second-tier teams were drawn, the scene was not so calm. Many wealthy teams were complaining about their opponents, but the few teams that got good draws remained calm.  Liverpool's opponent is Porto. It can only be said that this is a good draw. Porto has rich experience in European wars, good results, and has won the Champions League. It is a difficult opponent, but compared with Liverpool, it is still a little inferior in strength.  and background.  The guest of the draw for the third tier was Steven Gerrard, the best midfielder in Europe last season and the core of the Liverpool midfielder. Then Gerrard and the legendary goalkeeper Dasayev drew lots for the teams in the third tier.  Schalke 04 were drawn first, and they entered the rankings between Chelsea and ValenciaGroup B of ??.  The Celtics were drawn second, and they entered Group D where AC Milan was.  Serie A powerhouse Lazio was subsequently drawn out, and they entered Group C, along with Real Madrid and Werder Bremen.  The fourth one to be drawn is Sporting Lisbon, with Manchester United and Roma in Group F becoming their final destination.  CSKA Moscow entered Group G, along with Inter Milan and PSV Eindhoven.  Bundesliga champions Stuttgart enter Group E, with their opponents including Barcelona and Lyon.  Steaua Bucharest enters Group H, and Arsenal is the seeded team in this group.  Marseille was the last team to be drawn out of the third tier. They were in Group A with Liverpool and Porto. After the third tier teams were drawn, the scene became lively. Some people cheered excitedly, some shouted bad luck, and some shouted something fishy.  , the only one who can still remain calm is Liverpool, because their opponent Marseille is their defeat.  Marseille eliminated Porto in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup in the 2000/01 season and finally won the cup.  Three years later, the two teams met again in the fourth round of the UEFA Cup, and Marseille won again. Marseille then reached the final, but was defeated by Valencia under Benitez, who is now the head coach of Liverpool.  Benitez.  In addition, Marseille also hired two generals from Liverpool this summer, forward Cisse and midfielder Zenden.  Benitez and Rick Barry looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and said nothing. With two opponents like this, what else could they say.  Before the draw of teams in the fourth bracket, host Pinto announced last season¡¯s best forward and best player Chen Yu on stage to receive the award.  There was a burst of warm applause at the scene, and all eyes were focused on Chen Yu. Although everyone present knew Chen Yu, many people had only seen Chen Yu's true form today.  Chen Yu had the experience of receiving an award. When he received the Golden Boot from UEFA Secretary General Taylor, he was not nervous or excited at all. He also showed off his English and once again received applause from the guests present.  Next, Chen Yu also participated in the draw. Chen Yu was very lucky. He drew the Turkish Besiktas team for Liverpool's group A. This was not only an underdog, but it also meant that Liverpool would play again.  Return to Istanbul, where they lifted the fifth Champions League trophy in the club's history in 2005. ? Then Chen Yu drew out Olympiacos, and they entered Group C where Real Madrid was.  Rangers were drawn third and they entered Group E of Barcelona.  Dynamo Kyiv entered Group F with Manchester United and Roma, and Rosenborg was placed in Group B with Chelsea and Valencia.  Ukrainian Shakhtar Donetsk enter Group D where AC Milan is located.  Slavia Prague, which eliminated Ajax, enters Group H.
