The new season is gradually on the right track, Ke Yan's state and daily life have stabilized, and now the pressure of Porto's game is gradually increasing, after the end of a week of competition, Porto is finally ushering in the most important period at the beginning of the season, that is, this season's Champions League game, which is finally about to kick off.

The first to come is the draw ceremony, the draw ceremony is to determine the Champions League group stage grouping activities, what kind of group is divided into, it is also a very important thing for the team, Porto as the second place in the Portuguese Super League last season, and the winner of the Europa League, is basically to ensure their status in the second tier of the team, for this bracket, Porto does not feel that their signing this time will be bad.

The Champions League group stage teams are divided into brackets, and Porto's ability to be in the second tier is the result of their hard work last season, and the players now just need to sit in their homes and wait for the results to come out.

Fernando, as a representative of the Porto club, attended the draw ceremony, although it was only the draw for the group stage, but for Fernando, it was also a kind of torment, especially on the spot, this season he wants to lead the team to a higher level, if this season can only get the same results as last season, then for him, it will be meaningless, therefore, the Champions League game is very important to him.

The atmosphere was very tense, although everyone else seemed to be more relaxed, especially the representatives of the first team, who didn't seem to take it seriously at all.

The draw ceremony started on time, there was nothing to delay, and the first thing to draw was the grouping of the first team.

There are a total of eight first-tier teams, which are respectively arranged into eight groups, which is not suspenseful, because the first-tier teams cannot meet in the group stage, on the one hand, to ensure that the stronger teams can go further and make the later games more exciting, and at the same time, it is also to protect the teams that are not so strong to get the right to qualify from the group, just imagine, If Real Madrid, who won last season's Champions League, and Bayern Munich, who won the Bundesliga last season, are placed in the same group, the remaining two teams in the group may not even think about qualifying from the group.

The next draw is the grouping of the second-block teams, because the number of second-block teams is relatively large, so in most cases there will be two second-block teams in each group, if the first-tier team can get an absolute crushing in the group, then the focus of the competition for the group qualification is the battle between the two second-block teams.

Porto, as a second-tier team, was quickly drawn and placed in Group B, and the first team in Group B was the winner of Serie A last season - Juventus.

Although there are already two teams in this group, Fernando's nervousness has not relaxed, because he knows the strength of Juventus very well, so he is not very expecting the team to get too many points from Juventus in the group stage, and the real opponent in this group is the remaining second-tier team in the group.

The second round of the draw ended quickly, the third round of the draw began, after the third team in Group A was drawn, it was the turn of Group B where Porto was located, Fernando's heartbeat also jumped to the extreme at this time, and the next opponent who appeared was likely to be the opponent who decided whether Porto could appear in the Champions League group stage, his spirit was highly concentrated, and he didn't want to see the result that second later.

The results were quickly projected onto a big screen, where it was very clear that a team from La Liga, Atletico Madrid, was written.

"I'll go" Fernando almost burst into a foul mouth, he didn't expect that the next opponent in his group would be Atletico Madrid!

How strong has Atletico Madrid been over the years?

Reached the Champions League final twice in three years, and also won a La Liga championship from Barcelona and Real Madrid, of course, the Copa del Rey was also won, and to be able to get such good results in a league with such pressure as La Liga, Atletico Madrid's success is not caused by luck, but their own strong strength, allowing them to get this kind of result.

On Porto's side, based on the performance of Porto last season, the runner-up of the Portuguese Super League and the runner-up of the Portuguese Cup, one of the results that can be won is the winner of the Europa League.

And now Porto is about to play Atletico Madrid, which makes Fernando a little desperate.

If the other second-tier team in the same group is a team with ordinary strength, Fernando will still have some confidence, but Atletico Madrid only won the third place in La Liga last season, and this kind of league results can only make Atletico Madrid be placed in the second-tier team, although Atletico Madrid's strength is very strong, but they can only be placed in the second-tier team to meet Porto.

This result is really bad news for Porto.

After the draw for Group B, all four teams in Group B surfaced, namely Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Porto and Dinamo Zagreb, and what kind of pressure Porto will face in the next game has also surfaced.

In the group, Dinamo Zagreb, Ke Yan has only heard it once, that was when Mourinho coached Real Madrid, at that time they were in a group with Real Madrid, what is the level of this team, Ke Yan does not know very well, and the specific details are not known until the real match on the field.

But the strength of the other two teams in the group is very clear to the whole of Europe, and even the whole world, Juventus, the Serie A giant, has now established absolute dominance in Italy, and Atletico Madrid, which is a La Liga powerhouse, has stabilized its position in such a fiercely competitive La Liga and has become a European powerhouse.

And now Porto, whether it is Fernando or the players, they are very clear that although they are now on the rise, the strength of the team is not on the same level as these two teams at all, how can they be good? (To be continued.) )
