Chapter 516: Before the Winter Break

"The first time I saw Ma Junqiang in the knockout round!"

The day after Manchester City qualified, Wang Junsong posted such an article in the "Sports Weekly": "After last year's Champions League failure, we can finally see Ma Junqiang in the Champions League this year." If last season's group stage exit of Manchester City can still be considered as inexperienced in the Champions League, then if you use such an excuse again this year, I am afraid it is a little unreasonable, after all, Manchester City has beaten all the giants of England and touched the English championship trophy, but fortunately, this year's Manchester City finally grabbed a place in the round of 16, and Ma Junqiang was able to appear in the knockout round. ”

Ma Junqiang got the opportunity to participate in the knockout round, and Juventus was tragic, losing Li Mu's Juventus O:1 away to Galatasaray and missing the round of 16. Chen Hui not only said: "Li Mu's absence has reduced the number of Chinese players participating in the Champions League knockout round this year from five to four, but this is still the most Chinese players in the Champions League knockout round in history. According to the points and matchups of each group, in the first round of the knockout round, there may be a contest between Chinese players. ”

Ma Junqiang's friends also congratulated him, and Ma Junqiang was very happy about this, but Zhang Shujie reminded him that none of the opponents who can enter the knockout round are easy to gnaw on. Ma Junqiang also said that he and his teammates will be careful.

As Manchester City's No. 1 goalkeeper, of course, he knows that Manchester City does not have the ability to compete with those old giants, but it is not impossible to win, such as the just-concluded Champions League group stage, although this is largely the reason why Bayern does not pay attention to it, but it is still a good way to win the game. Therefore, for this Champions League knockout round, Ma Junqiang cherishes it extraordinarily.

In fact, he himself has no idea how far City will be able to go in the knockout stages. I'm afraid even Pellegniri can't give an answer to this point. In a sense, reaching the round of 16 is already an improvement for Manchester City.

At present, the Champions League group stage has been completed, and the emergence of 16 teams has also been determined, of which Group A is Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen, Group B is Real Madrid and Galatasaray, Group C is Paris Saint-Germain and Olympiacos, Group D is Bayern Munich and Manchester City, Group E is Chelsea and Schalke O4, Group F is Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal, Group G is Atletico Madrid and Zenit St. Petersburg, Group H is Barcelona and AC Milan.

In the scorer list, Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo scored nine goals and temporarily topped the scorer list, followed by Zhang Shujie and Ibrahimovic with eight goals, followed by Messi and Sergio Aguero, who scored six goals, and Li Mu scored only four goals due to injury, but he also played only four games, unfortunately he has not had the opportunity to expand his goal tally in the Champions League this season. In addition, among the Chinese players, Zhao Wenkang scored two goals, Yan Tao also scored one, and only Tang Ling and Ma Junqiang, who is the goalkeeper, did not score.

The European media conducted an analysis of these sixteen teams, and three teams with a higher probability of winning the championship this year are Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Real Madrid said that although the four major were empty last season, the team's first brother Ronaldo is too hot this season, just by virtue of his own goals, he has the ability to compete for the Ballon d'Or, and under the leadership of Ancelotti, the team has won one after another, and is the team with the most goals in Europe, you can imagine how terrifying their attack is.

Barcelona have been the favourites in the Champions League every year for nearly a decade, and although they were invited to drink a free can of "Seven Ups" by the Bayern team in the semi-finals last season, they cannot deny their strength. Especially after returning from injury, Messi gradually came out of the shadows and continued to score goals for the team, and the Argentine king has the ability to lead Barcelona back to the top.

Bayern Munich, the defending champions of the Champions League, may have a hard time lifting the trophy for the second year in a row, but this is not to say that they are not strong, on the contrary, their overall strength this season is better than last season. But since the Champions League restructuring, the "Champions League curse" has firmly trapped every giant, since the 1992/1993 season, no team has been able to win the Champions League for a second time, it is difficult to say what the reason is, but this is really a real thing, so Bayern must play the spirit of 12 points.

However, Bayern is not without opportunities, the team's number one star Zhang Shujie is getting better and better, although he is only twenty-two years old, he has shown the maturity of his peers, and his goal efficiency is close to Messi Ronaldo's two kings, and he is considered to be the third person in the world after Melo, Beckenbauer said: "Zhang Shujie and Messi Ronaldo are only one Golden Ball Award short." The implication is that as long as he can get the Golden Globe Award, then Zhang Shujie has the capital to be on an equal footing with Messi Ronaldo!

Other teams, such as Chelsea, are also considered to be hopeful of winning the championship, and then Juventus, but many media also believe that Juventus has to rely entirely on Li Mu's swing, and the goal distribution in the group stage is very revealing, and Juventus 1o alone directly created one-third of the team's goals. Although Vidal scored one more goal than Li Mu, four of Vidal's five goals were penalized, which was completely incomparable with Li Mu.

In addition, other old giants such as Manchester United, AC Milan, etc., are still eating their old books due to lineups and other reasons, and there is little hope of winning the championship.

Zhang Shujie has always cared too much about these so-called "media analysis", no one knows the variables in the game, he just does his duty on the court.

Three days later, the 16th round of the Bundesliga begins, Bayern face Hamburg at home, which is also Bayern's last league game before the winter break, and they will finally travel to the Club World Cup.

In order to prepare for the Club World Cup, Guardiola hid some of the main players, such as Kroos, Lahm, Boateng and other players, but Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao appeared in the eleven. Hamburg are not in the best position at the moment, and are infinitely close to the relegation zone, so they cannot afford to lose a game, but alas, they meet a strong Bayern Munich in this round.

Less than 10 minutes into the game, Zhang Shujie opened the scoring for Bayern with his 20th goal of the season, then Gotze extended the score to 2:o at the end of the first half, Shakiri scored another goal in the 64th minute of the second half to give Bayern a three-autumn lead, and then, substitute Mandzukic, who played on the field, made the score 4:o in the 77th minute! In the end, Bayern beat visiting Hamburg 4-1 at home to get off to a good start in the upcoming Club World Cup.
