Real Madrid, Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund and Ajax were drawn in the same group as the horrific group of death in the history of the Champions League, even more terrifying than the group of death drawn in 1998-1999 with Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Brondby. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The team drawn to the group of death is naturally the most uncomfortable for Manchester City fans.

Last season they were drawn in the same group as Bayern Munich, Villarreal and Napoli to form the Group of Death, and they didn't expect this season's Champions League draw to be even more brutal, directly with the La Liga champions, Bundesliga champions and Eredivisie champions.

If you want to cry without tears, you can only describe Manchester City fans like this.

finally ushered in the oil boss who was not short of money, but he didn't expect to be suppressed by the unscrupulous UEFA......

The fans of Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Ajax are almost the same, and they hate UEFA, what do you have to do with our team to suppress the disobedient Manchester City?

After the draw for the 2012-2013 Champions League group and the UEFA awards ceremony, journalists rushed to find Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp and Roberto Mancini.

Ajax manager Frank de Boer, in addition to some of the national media, the attention of the other European mainstream media is focused on the other three clubs, because the draw results have already meant that Ajax have been reduced to a belly of the fish.

Of course, this fish belly team has to put double quotation marks, after all, Ajax is a Eredivisie giant, has won the Champions League four times, and has produced football superstars such as Cruyff, Van Basten, Rijkaard, Bergkamp, Kluivert and so on.

But then again, Ajax is no longer the super giants of European football that dominated European football back then, nor is it the super youth guard who won the Champions League, they are now only a second-rate team in Europe.

It is natural to be looked down upon.

Frank de Boer, who was interviewed by local media outlet The Telegraph, was in a depressed mood, but he did not give up easily, but used the media platform to boost the momentum: "It is undeniable that the La Liga, Premier League and Bundesliga titles were the darkest time of my life, but the situation in Group D is so chaotic, maybe this will be an opportunity for us to advance to the round of 16!"

Mourinho, who was interviewed by "Marca", did not have many mood swings, he said lightly: "I am not surprised at all to draw Ajax, but Manchester City and Dortmund give me a headache, but Real Madrid is the best team on the planet, the best, and it is not a problem to break through." ”

After that, he didn't give the media any more time and walked out.

Compared with Mourinho's calmness, Mancini and Klopp can be said to have mixed feelings.

Real Madrid is strong, as long as there is no active death, it is not a problem to qualify, naturally I don't care if there is a group of death, anyway, there is no problem in qualifying.

Jurgen Klopp led Borussia Dortmund to win the league title over Bayern in the past two seasons, and last season's Champions League beat AC Milan and almost beat Barcelona, but it does not mean that every game has been extraordinary, which means that the first half of the 2012-2013 season will be quite difficult.

Of course, Jurgen Klopp still has a lot of faith in the team because he believes in the team he coaches!

In an interview with Bild, he said: "It's a great opportunity to get through to the last 16 and if we can make it to the last 16, I think it's a great moment for us to go one step further in the Champions League!"

Of the four managers in Group D, Roberto Mancini was in the worst mood.

In an interview with The Times, he only said one short sentence: "Manchester City must be the one who advances!"

The next day, the headlines in the European media all revolved around the death of Real Madrid, Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund and Ajax.

The Chinese media are similar, but there are other areas of focus in the Chinese media, such as Schalke 04 and Anderlecht.

Although Tang Zheng's Borussia Dortmund drew Real Madrid, Manchester City and Ajax, many Chinese fans still believe that Tang Zheng will lead Dortmund to the top of Group D.

Last season's home and away double against AC Milan and away against Barcelona are still fresh in my memory, and the blood is pumping.

Maybe Real Madrid has booked a group qualifier, isn't there one left?

How is it possible for a team like Manchester City, which has been squeezed out and suppressed by UEFA, to advance to the round of 16?

Wasn't last season a bloody lesson?

Not to mention Ajax, who are no longer as brave as they used to be, and even qualifying is a problem.

Even finishing third in the group is a luxury......

Schalke 04 were drawn in Group B, along with Arsenal, Olympiacos and Montpellier.

With the exception of Arsenal, who have absolute strength, the other two opponents are difficult to pose a threat and there is not much problem in qualifying.

Only Anderlecht, who played for Lu Liang, was a bit of a problem, and they were drawn to AC Milan, Zenit St. Petersburg and Malaga.

Of course, no matter which group Anderlecht draws, it's troublesome.

After all, the strength is limited, at most it will compete for third place in the group and participate in the knockout round of this season's Europa League.

The media focus is still on the Champions League group draw, but the attention of the teams has shifted back to their home leagues.

Borussia Dortmund's second-round opponent in the league is Nuremberg, playing away.

I don't know if it was affected by the Champions League group draw, but the highly promising Dortmund drew 1:1 with the home team away from home, causing a big upset.

Their league rivals, Bayern Munich, showed good form with a 6-1 home win over Stuttgart.

A staggering nine goals in two games to top the league with a goal difference of eight!

Bayern fans with good things put up slogans on social networks: "Big Bayern has set sail strongly, Dortmund has withdrawn from the league title race!"

The failure to beat Nuremberg away from home left Jurgen Klopp under a lot of psychological pressure, and the same was true for the team.

Everyone wanted to go further in the 2012-2013 Champions League, but they didn't expect to draw the Group of Death.

It is equivalent to saying that the road to promotion is full of thorns, and the emotional impact is huge.

Going away with that mood is a blessing not to lose.

Thankfully, there are two international breaks after this round of league breaks, and players can adjust themselves through the two international breaks.

At the same time, the European summer transfer market is officially closed.

Hulk, who moved to Zenit St. Petersburg, became the top bidder in the summer transfer window for 50 million euros, and Thiago Silva became the top spot in the summer transfer window with 42 million euros to Paris Saint-Germain.

There are four Tanhua, and the transfer amount is 40 million euros.

Among them, the transfer of Belgian star Eden Hazard to Chelsea was completed after the end of last season, and Lucas Jr.'s transfer to Paris Saint-Germain was completed during the London Olympics, but the official joining of Paris Saint-Germain will be completed in the transfer window next winter.

Witsel, like Hulk, joined Zenit on a whistle-blowing transfer, while Javi Martinez's $40 million Champions League transfer was finalised before the Champions League group draw began.

Borussia Dortmund's main theme this summer is still slimming, with only three youngsters joining in Kirich, Schiebert and Bittenconte.

On the contrary, league rivals Bayern Munich, Schalke 04, Bayer Leverkusen and other teams have introduced a lot of reinforcements to increase the bench depth of the squad.

It's not that Dortmund is reluctant to bring in reinforcements, but that they have been used to making small fights over the years, and they spent 12 million to buy Tang Zheng in 2009 for more than a season.

The fact that the debt is not reduced in a short period does not mean that there is no debt.

This is also the reason why the Dortmund hierarchy has been slow to complete the contract extensions with Lewandowski, Kuba and Piszczek......

Because once the contract renewal is completed, the salary bill will have to increase by a large amount.

After playing the league, Tang Zheng took a flight to Beijing to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center on the 11th, and his opponent was South Korea.

It can be said that whether the Chinese team can enter the 2014 World Cup in Brazil is very important to play South Korea at home.

In the last three rounds of the group stage, China and South Korea have also had a bye, with only two games, South Korea topped the table with six points and China finished second in the group with four points.

It can be exaggerated to say that this game is the top battle of Group A of the top 10 Asian competition.

Tang Zheng arrived in Beijing on the morning of September 2 to report with the national team and prepare for the World Cup qualifiers against South Korea.

The Chinese team can be said to have performed very well in the first two games, scoring four points, but they still need more points to get out of Group A.

Perhaps the overall strength of the Chinese team is not as good as that of South Korea, but it does not mean that the Chinese team has no way to score points at home.

Tang Zheng is full of confidence, and Chinese fans are even more so.

South Korea's head coach and players don't think so, they think they are the best team in Asia, and the Chinese team is a second-rate team in terms of their measurements, how can they get points?

Even if the Chinese team has the advantage of home field.

South Korea's head coach Choi Kang-hee was interviewed by local media "Sports Today" during the World Cup qualifiers against the Chinese team, and he said that the away game is no different from the home team, and the South Korean team has a strong strength, so it is not afraid to play away, and the result of the game will be the same as the last two rounds of the group stage.

Victory.

However, the players keep a very low profile, Gu Zizhe, who transferred to Augsburg this summer, Son Heung-min who played for Hamburg, and Park Joo-young, who played for Arsenal, are all South Korean players who have directly played against Tang Zheng or witnessed Tang Zheng's awesomeness, so they kept a low profile when Choi Kang-hee confidently gave an interview to the media.

Tang Zheng's success in the Bundesliga should not be underestimated.

Soccer is indeed a team sport, but it is also a sport that allows stars to shine to decide the outcome of the game.

Chinese head coach Camacho also gave an interview to the media, but he was not as flamboyant and low-key as Cui Kangxi, only saying that the next home game was very difficult and he won the draw.

During the two international breaks, the Chinese team did not have a warm-up match, only an internal teaching match at the Xianghe training base, and the opponent was Beijing Guoan.

Obviously, the purpose of this game is to run in the lineup and practice tactics, and make final preparations for the home game against South Korea.
