Chapter 481 Champions League Draw
David has been living in a daze these days, feeling that he can't get out of the shadows, but the Champions League draw still brought him back to reality. For Notts County, the first trip to the Champions League is coming.
As the new champion of the Premier League, in the UEFA club standings, Notts County ranks 14th among all Champions League teams, in the second tier.
Won the UEFA Cup for two consecutive seasons, with more than 30 points in each season. However, Notts County did not have European competitions in the previous two seasons, so it was only 20% of the league this season. It can also be compared with some of the upstream teams in the five major leagues.
It can be said that Notts County has been prepared for a long time. It is the first time to participate in the Champions League, and it will definitely not be assigned to a good grade. Many European giants are tied in the first gear.
David sat in front of the TV and watched the whole broadcast, feeling uncontrollably excited.
Notts County is about to step onto the biggest stage and become the focus of the world!
In the era when Johansson was in charge of UEFA, he was committed to making the Champions League a game for giants and strong teams, and it was also a feast for fans. In the group stage, there will be a situation where two strong teams meet, but it will not let Three strong teams appear in one group at the same time, that is to say, the group of death in the usual sense will not be produced.
The same is true for the group draw this time. Except for the defending champion Monaco who entered the third tier due to a small number of points, there is no particularly strong team in the third and fourth tiers.
When the small ball representing Notts County was drawn out, Notts County's Champions League situation this season was also freshly released.
Every group draw can create countless topics, and this time is no exception. The Champions League defending champion Monaco and the UEFA Cup champion Notts County are actually drawn together. Coupled with the upcoming European Super Cup, in a short time, It's three games between two teams in the limelight.
And as the strongest teams in the third and fourth tiers, they can actually meet together. This is the real group of death. Any team in the first tier will probably have a headache if they meet them. Die!
As a result, Deportivo, who seemed to be the weakest in Pot [-], was unlucky. They were assigned to these two strong teams, together with Olympiakos from Greece, to form Group A, which was also the draw this time. The scariest looking group of death ever.
In fact, there are not two top teams in the group of death, but three or four teams that seem relatively average in strength. Everyone has the hope of qualifying, and everyone has the possibility of being eliminated. This is the real group of death. .
Although it seems that Olympiacos can only play soy sauce, but look at the remaining three teams, one is the defending champion of the Champions League, one is the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, and the other is the UEFA Cup champion last season. When two teams meet together, what a spark of passion!
The combination of Real Madrid, Roma and Leverkusen in Group B is also very eye-catching, and one of these three strong teams has also been eliminated from the group!
In Group C, the two giants Bayern and Juventus are the absolute favorites. Even if the Dutch giants Ajax are also assigned to this group, no one thinks that they can threaten the status of the two giants. As for the fourth tier Maccabi Tel Aviv, who knows which league this team came from?
In Group D, Manchester United and Ligue [-] overlord Lyon met together. Lyon's results in European competitions have not been satisfactory, but this time their appearance in the group is not a big problem. Whether it is Sparta Prague or Fenerbahce, it is just He has the hope of challenging them in theory, but in reality, he is only playing the role of accompanying the prince to study.
Arsenal is the only one in Group E. Neither Eindhoven nor Panathinaikos will be able to shake Arsenal's top spot in the group. What they need to compete for is the second qualifying spot in the group. As for the fourth tier Rosenberg, let him watch the fun from the sidelines.
In Group F, Barcelona and AC Milan formed a strong dialogue, and it was difficult for the Celtics and Shakhtar Donetsk to do much.
Valencia and Inter Milan in Group G are absolute powerhouses, and Bremen also has the ability to disrupt the situation. As for Anderlecht, they can still show off in Belgium. In the Champions League, they are basically unknown.
In the final Group H, last season's runner-up Porto and Chelsea were divided together. Mourinho will meet his old club in his first season at Chelsea, which is also very interesting. Paris Saint-Germain, who lost Ronaldinho's ability The middle class can only be regarded as the bottom line. Like CSKA Moscow, they can go home after six games in the group!
The result of the lottery is that some families are happy and some are sad.
For a strong team, it is necessary to strive to qualify for the group, and also strive to qualify for the first place in the group, so even if the team in the first tier faces the strong team in the second tier, there is no guarantee that it will be able to achieve the goal. Target.
The medium-sized teams are trying to snatch a qualifying spot from the strong teams. Even if they qualify second in the group, it is better to be eliminated in the past and play in the UEFA Cup. If people have no dreams, what is the difference from salted fish!
There is only the weakest team, and there is no psychological burden. Anyway, even if they try their best, they may not be able to break out of the group. Their biggest goal is to win a victory, at least in front of fans throughout Europe Show their faces and increase the club's popularity, and their goal will be achieved.
As for Notts County, although many people think that this is not a good sign, because neither Monaco nor Deportivo are easy to deal with, and even these two teams are the kind of super crazy people, Maybe it will explode at any time, the kind of god blocking and killing gods. Last season, there was a goal battle between the two teams, which shocked the entire European football world at that time.
Notts County is relatively worried about this kind of nerve knife. If it is just a normal way of playing, then Notts County may control the game and may not give the opponent much chance, but once the opponent seems to be drugged, no one will be able to. I can't stop it!
Of course, not being a good sign does not mean that Notts County has no ability to qualify. The UEFA Cup champions for two consecutive seasons have proved Notts County's European ability. Even if the UEFA Cup is a level higher than the Champions League, but Being able to reach the finals will not be inferior to the strength of the giants.
Although young, he already has enough experience in European wars. Perhaps Notts County can really reach the top of the Champions League this season!
