Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The draw for the Champions League group stage has ended, marking the beginning of the most exciting battle in European football in the 2070 season. This kind of draw based purely on luck is fair, but it will never make everyone feel satisfied, and such a casual way  , will also lead to many "incidental stories".  It should be said that the draw results of Serie A were good. The Milan duo were assigned to a group that is recognized as satisfactory. Roma and Manchester United were assigned to one group, but the other two teams in the same group were Sporting Lisbon and Dynamo Kiev. In terms of strength,  , Manchester United is the favorite in this group, but Roma also has a great chance of competing for another place in the group. If the humiliation of 1-7 last season can be turned into motivation, then it is not impossible to score points against Manchester United. It can be said that Roma  The chance of qualifying is very high.  Relatively speaking, Lazio is the most unfavorable. Real Madrid is the strongest in Group C, but Lazio and Werder Bremen are competing for second place in the group.  Among the three teams in La Liga, Sevilla has the best signing. Although it is difficult to say who will win the first place and who will be second with Arsenal, but in terms of qualifying, Steaua Bucharest and Slavia Prague are too far apart.  This group is somewhat similar to the one between Liverpool and Eindhoven last season; Valencia's signing was the worst. Not only was it suppressed by Chelsea, but it also had to face the pursuit of Schalke 04. The qualifying situation was not optimistic.  Barcelona and Real Madrid must be careful to deal with strong opponents. As long as they perform normally, there will definitely be no problem qualifying.  The luck of the Premier League teams is mixed. Liverpool and Arsenal are divided into two better groups. Liverpool is first in the group without pressure, but Arsenal's prospects for winning the group are not optimistic. In Sevilla and Athens  With AEK still having one game, Sevilla's odds for first place in the group are 2.01, and Arsenal's odds are 2.01.  Chelsea is still the strongest in its group, but this is a very energy-consuming group. Valencia and Schalke 04 are both difficult to beat, and Manchester United is in the same group as Roma, Sporting Lisbon, and Dynamo Kiev. Combined with Manchester United  Under the current situation, qualifying is not that safe.  The Bundesliga lacks Bayern and dominance. Stuttgart and Schalke are in the third tier. Werder Bremen is in the second tier, but their strength has dropped too much. It is not impossible for the entire army to be annihilated.  In Group B, Schalke 04 has a chance to compete with Valencia. In Group E, Stuttgart will compete with Lyon for second place in the group. In Group C, Bremen's opponent is Lazio. Among the three teams, Bremen may have the greatest hope, followed by Stuttgart.  Schalke is in a bad situation?  The Champions League is an event that has always had history. Every draw brings out a lot of old grudges. When Maldini drew Roma and then Group F, he laughed, and everyone in the venue also laughed. Roma and  Manchester United's enemies from last season met again.  The 7-1 victory at Old Trafford was a spectacle in the last Champions League. It was this game that made Roma realize the importance of bench depth and introduced many new players this summer, which improved Roma's strength.  , with increased experience and a more mature mentality. This time against Manchester United again, a real strong dialogue is expected.  Chelsea met their old rival Valencia again. To be fair, this is an opponent Chelsea doesn't want to meet. Chelsea is afraid of technical teams. It was very difficult to eliminate Valencia in 1/4 last season.  In the 2000/01 season, Lazio and Real Madrid had a passionate collision. The two teams scored 9 goals in the two games. Real Madrid won one and drew one. They only won one goal and were not dominant. However, the current Real Madrid is not as good as the Real Madrid back then.  Not by much, but Lazio is no longer what it used to be.  Benfica and Celtic were also old rivals last season. Each side beat their opponent 3-0 at home. I wonder how they will fare this time.  Eindhoven and Fenerbahce have faced each other in the 2003/04 season. The two teams won each at home. Eindhoven defeated Fenerbahce 2-0 at home and lost 0-3 on the road.  Of course, there are also favorite "old rivals". Galliani pointed out after the game: "AC Milan always reaches the finals every time they meet the Celtics." Indeed, in the 03/04 season,  AC Milan 3-1 at home, 0-0 away from Celtic, advanced to the final against Liverpool, and won runner-up. Last season, AC Milan won 0-0 away from home in the 1/8 finals, and eliminated Celtic 1-0 in overtime at home.  , and finally reached the finals.  In this group, Benfica has also played against AC Milan four times in the past. AC Milan has 3 wins and 1 draw. I wonder if it can continue its overwhelming record this time.  This is a scenery in the group stage of this European Champions Cup. Rui Costa will return to San Siro and visit a place he is familiar with; and AC Milan welcomes old friends not only the Portuguese, but also Kyle who just transferred this summer.  Donati, the special former AC Milan midfielder, also played against AC Milan as an opponent.  Barcelona and Lyon are in a group. For Abdale, who moved to Barcelona from Lyon this summer, this will be a complicated battle. In Group F, Nani from Sporting Lisbon will also join Manchester United and  His former teammates met each other at war.  Player exchanges between European giants have become more frequent in the summer, resulting in endless stories of "old players meeting old masters" in the Champions League.  In addition, Schuster will lead Real Madrid back to Germany to fight. This is anotherIt's like "an old general meets an old master". I don't know whether these people will get applause or boos.  Liverpool's signings are not the best, but they are definitely one of the best. Liverpool head coach Benitez did not deny this, but he also saw the difficulties. He said: "Obviously, compared with other groups,  Our group may be relatively easy, but Porto has rich experience in European competition and has good results. Marseille is a strong team in Ligue 1 and knows us well. And everyone knows that this is a problem for us.  It is difficult to play in Turkey and the journey is tiring. Turkish fans will spare no effort to cheer for their home team. I have always been very confident about qualifying in the group. The key is to win at home and strive for the best results on the road. " Liverpool's ace shooter.  Chen Yu was also interviewed by reporters at the lottery site. Chen Yu was also happy to be assigned to this group. "We are lucky. There are no strong opponents in this group. We must strive for the first place in the group. This will be a good match for the following games."  It¡¯s very important. The Champions League schedule is long and we must have a long-term plan. If we encounter a strong opponent too early, it will be detrimental to our final Champions League title.¡± Liverpool will undoubtedly lock in a qualifying spot and be first in the group, but like Marseille and Porto.  All they need is another qualifying spot, and they are equally optimistic about this grouping.  Marseille sports director Arnigo said: The result is not bad, we can do some interesting things.  We know Porto very well, they have a very good striker Quaresma.  As for Liverpool, we finally have the opportunity to seek revenge against Benitez. We are familiar with Anfield, where Cisse and Zenden played there.  Cisse hopes to play against Liverpool.  We have a chance to qualify and I'm happy with it.  " Baia, Director General of Porto's External Relations Department, seems to be cautious, but in fact they only regard Liverpool as their opponent: "This type of draw is always fair.  All we need to do is compete as hard as we can and try to go as far as possible.  Visiting Anfield as a guest is the biggest difficulty. Liverpool is the strongest and has an excellent historical record in the Champions League.  Marseille has improved a lot this season, they have Cisse to charge forward.  Besiktas has (former Sporting Lisbon midfielder) Tero, Ricardinho and many good Turkish players in the team, but I believe we will be able to qualify.  ¡± The Besiktas team, which is not favored by the outside world, is as confident as other teams. Their head coach Zagram said: ¡°There is no need to evaluate our group opponents here, because every team  All are world famous.  But our goal is to get to the next level and we have a great team.  My colleagues and I were convinced that we could qualify.  ¡± The Champions League group stage is not a problem for Liverpool at all. For a giant like them, if they don¡¯t make it to the semi-finals, it will be considered a failure. After the Champions League draw, a few comments will pass. Now for them, the most important thing to worry about is the first place.  The European Super Cup with UEFA Cup champion Sevilla on the second day is a single-game, single-leg event held by UEFA at the beginning of each season. The initiator is Wittkamp of the Ajax club.  , the purpose is to know who is the strongest team in Europe. Before 1999, the European Cup Winners' Cup champion and the UEFA Champions League champion competed for the championship. Now the UEFA Cup champion and the UEFA Champions League champion compete for this honor in the European Super Cup.  In history, Liverpool is the team with the second most championships, winning three times in 1977, 2001 and 2005. It is only one championship less than the top-ranked AC Milan. The Super Cup game is at 8:40 pm.  Five minutes later, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning when the Liverpool players arrived. After having lunch and taking a nap, the Liverpool players rushed to the Monaco II Stadium for adaptive training and targeted training.  Villa is a powerful team in La Liga. It defeated Espanyol in May this year to defend the UEFA Cup and became the second team after Real Madrid to win the UEFA Cup. In the Super Cup last year, Sevilla defeated Fiorentina 3-0 to win the championship.  Their strength is definitely Arsenal level. Now they are also seeking to defend their title and they also attach great importance to the Super Cup. Facing such a team, if Liverpool wants to win the championship, they must prepare seriously and go all out. If they want to train,  Then send substitutes to play, and you must not be half-hearted. You don¡¯t want to expend too much energy, but you also want to win the championship. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t win any of them. Although the Super Cup is not a very important championship, for Liverpool now,  They won the league championship and the Champions League. Winning the Super Cup again, tying AC Milan and becoming the strongest player in the Super Cup has become one of their goals. At the press conference before the game, Benitez said.  Chen Yu and Gerrard appeared in the stadium's studio. On the Sevilla side, head coach Juande Ramos brought goalkeeper Palop and defender Alves. Champions League champion Liverpool is undoubtedly the winner of the Super Cup.  Hot to win the championship?, but Benitez does not care whether Liverpool is the favorite: "I don't care who is the favorite, no matter what others think, the most important thing is to prove on the court that we are better. The difficulty of playing against Sevilla can be imagined  , we must ensure not to make mistakes. Chen Yu performed very well in his first season. He fits our system very well. He has become the most indispensable player for Liverpool. He can determine the direction of the game. I am very happy that he can participate in the Super Cup.  Of course, the biggest problem now is that we are missing central defenders, but both teams have injuries, and I would rather focus on those players who can play. We have lost some of our combat effectiveness, but the lineup is still strong enough, I think.  We can create new history for Liverpool.¡± Gerrard, as the captain and spiritual leader of Liverpool, expressed cautious optimism about this game, ¡°The opponent is very strong and has excellent skills. When playing against Premier League and La Liga teams.  , the skills of La Liga teams are always the biggest threat to us, but we also have our own advantages. We are better physically and stronger. In addition, we also have forwards like Chen. With him, we will not worry about scoring goals.  "Our biggest difficulty in this game is the lack of central defenders, but I think the coach will come up with good ways to make up for this shortcoming." Chen Yu was suspended for four games in the league, but it did not prevent him from playing in the European war.  For such a Super Cup, Chen Yu said that he has been waiting for a long time, "I missed the Super Cup in Florence, which is a very regrettable thing for me. I finally got the opportunity to participate in the Super Cup in Liverpool. I am very happy.  Liverpool is a great team and has won three Super Cups. It is only one away from AC Milan, which has won the most championships. I hope to make Liverpool even greater, that is, to help Liverpool win the Super Cup.¡±  The speech expressed the determination and confidence to win the Super Cup. Facing a giant like Liverpool, the Sevilla general has no fear, and the head coach Juande.  Ramos said: "This is a final of great significance to Sevilla. We will fight for this trophy for the second time. The whole team is here to win, but we respect the strong team in front of us.  Although they are missing two main central defenders, they are still difficult to defeat.  Chen Yu and Gerrard will be the two most powerful opponents we face tomorrow, and we need to pay special attention to them.  We know winning is not easy, but we want to keep going strong.  ¡± Palop is the key to Sevilla winning the UEFA Cup. He believes that this Super Cup match is more difficult than the UEFA Cup final. He believes that Sevilla has hope of drawing with Liverpool because Liverpool¡¯s defense is not good enough.  Steady, if a penalty shootout is required, Sevilla will have a greater chance of winning than Liverpool. In the eyes of Sevilla left back Alves, Liverpool's most dangerous player is Chen Yu. He believes that he can control it.  Chen Yu can beat Liverpool. If you can't control Chen Yu, don't expect to win. However, because Liverpool currently lacks a central defender, Alvesce believes that Villa only needs to limit Chen Yu's performance. If the forwards are more powerful, they can beat Liverpool.  It¡¯s not that difficult. At the press conference, both sides spoke big words. When reporters asked questions, the Spanish reporter and the English reporter used sensitive topics with bad intentions to provoke the emotions of both parties. The result was always very depressed.  Chen Yu and the unruly Alves almost got into a fight at the press conference. Fortunately, Benitez and Juande were not aggressive people and stopped them in time, but the situation was tense.  The press conference could no longer go on. The host hurriedly announced the end of the press conference before the reporters had finished asking questions.
