Chapter 33 The Champions League group stage begins
After the game, the London media went crazy to cover the match.
Tottenham win for the first time of the season! 》
"Shocking Hanging Door! Easy to save Tottenham again! 》
"For Tottenham Hotspur fans, there is no God, only easy! 》
Heroes of Tottenham! 》
"China is easy to score, the Premier League's super midfielder, super easy!" 》
The Premier League's disaster day is coming! 》
A media outlet once analyzed Yi Le's role in midfield, and his huge vision, subtle passing and on-the-spot command ability are all his weapons.
It's just that Yi Le's shooting ability is not good, otherwise, he is really a perfect midfielder.
That's why the media once said, 'When Yi will shoot, the Premier League clubs will come to an end!' ’
Now that the prophecy has come true, a man who can shoot will be raised as a threat.
No one can stand this kind of top-class midfielder dangling in their own half and having a good long-range shot.
Luckily, Yile's long-range shot wasn't powerful enough to frighten them.
......
The time soon came on September 14, and the first round of the Champions League group stage began.
As a round-robin match, the focus of the first round of the Champions League is, naturally.... Paris Saint-Germain vs Arsenal.
Arsenal are similar to Paris Saint-Germain in Europe, and as the traditional giants of their respective leagues, their game is tantamount to Mars hitting Earth.
And Neymar, who just joined this season, is also very important.
Everyone is speculating on how hot the game will be, but the reality is that both teams are playing lethargically.
In this game, Arsenal did not have too strong desire to attack, Paris Saint-Germain wanted to rely on Cavani and Di Maria to open the situation, but Arsenal's Cazorla and Corcoran made them very uncomfortable.
What these two are best at is doing these dirty work, tiring work.
Under the constant physical confrontation, collision and foul play between the two, Paris Saint-Germain played very depressed.
Neymar also tried to break the deadlock on his own, but he saw Cavani fouled in a frenzy and he was a little afraid to dribble the ball.
I'm afraid that the Arsenal back will scrap themselves!
In the end, both sides scored one goal each, and the game ended with a score of 1:1.
After this game, the French media questioned Neymar, after all, he did not show the value of '200 million' in this game.
......
At the same time, a group stage was also played in Barcelona, Spain.
Barcelona vs Celtic.
But what to say about this game, at Camp Nou, Barcelona directly kicked Celtic into collapse.
The big score of 7:0!
It's a goalscoring feast.
Messi scored a quadruple, Suarez scored twice and Inister also scored a goal.
This is extremely exciting for Barcelona fans who have lost their MSN striker.
When they looked back at the Paris Saint-Germain game, they were held to a draw by Arsenal, Neymar didn't score in the whole game, well... They were happier.
You deserve to have no goals, this traitor!
......
Soon the main event came, and the match of the group of death began.
Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Leicester City, Group D, where these three teams are located, has always been the highlight of this group stage.
This group is going to be a thrilling match.
And so it is.
Bayern Munich vs Rostov.
Leicester City vs Atletico Madrid.
Needless to say, in the first game, Bayern Munich was brushing up on the number of goals, winning 5:0, and Rostov had no ability to resist at all.
The second game is the focus of countless media and fans.
Atletico Madrid won the runner-up in the last Champions League and is the third pole of La Liga, and its own strength goes without saying.
Leicester City was previously unknown, but their sudden rise last season caused a lot of problems for Premier League champions Tottenham.
Tottenham last season is highly regarded in European football, and even most European media believe that Tottenham last season is the only team that is likely to prevent Real Madrid, the galaxy battleship, from winning the Champions League.
Don't look at it, the media has been sneering at Tottenham in recent days, but this also corresponds to Tottenham deserving the attention of these media.
Despite Tottenham's poor form at this stage, there's no guarantee that the bird will suddenly be soaring.
Ahem.. Off topic.
Tottenham's strength is the backdrop for Leicester City, who held on to Tottenham in the Premier League table last season, and their strength is fully proof that although the competitiveness began to decrease due to the depth of the bench and the physical exertion at the end of the season, it must be admitted that Leicester City at the beginning of the season were slammed down.
Although Leicester City has lost the midfield defensive belt like Kante this season, Vardy + Mahrez on the front line is still a fierce one.
Therefore, the focus of this game is not only on the team itself, but also on the Vardy vs Griezmann striker matchup.
As it turned out, the game was worth the ticket price.
The two teams showed a high level of confrontation, and in the 90 minutes, the two sides went back and forth, and nine goals erupted, and finally Vardy scored a hat-trick to win 5-4 at home to Atletico Madrid.
......
On September 15, the first round of the Champions League for the other groups also began.
But this day's race was not as hot as the day before
Real Madrid 2:1 Sporting de Portugal.
Manchester City 4:0 Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Juventus 1:0 Lyon.
Southampton 2:0 Dinamo Zagreb.
The Tottenham match also starts at 2.45pm on September 15.
Club Brugge are at home to Tottenham Hotspur, a team in Pot 1.
For Tottenham's first Champions League game, it can be said that a lot of attention is paid to it, especially the Premier League media, who have high hopes for Tottenham.
In the distant land of China, countless fans are also sitting in front of the TV excitedly, waiting for the start of the game.
For Yile's Champions League match, they have been looking forward to it for a long time.
However, to their disappointment, Tottenham's forward form has not yet recovered.
This caused them to squander good chances, and in the first half they were carelessly led by Club Brugge, and then Tottenham fought back frantically, and on 43 minutes, a long-range Bettle arc from Yile was passed by Ibrahimovic to score the equaliser.
In the second half, the two sides went back and forth, Tottenham couldn't kick the ball, and Club Brugge couldn't pass Tottenham's midfield defense.
The game was a stalemate.
Until the 89th minute of the game, Yi Le once again staged the scene of riding the savior alone, and outside the penalty area, a cold long-range shot broke the door of Brugge and staged a stunner.
In the end, Tottenham won 2:1 Brugge.
Tottenham won, but without flowers and applause.
After all, Premier League fans and the media are expecting them to win by a big score, and it is difficult to win with a team like Club Brugge, so what should they do in the future?
Against Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern, how do you play?
You know, Tottenham is a seeded team, the favorite to win the title, and has high hopes from the Premier League, but there is always a feeling of 'coolness'.
Among them, Tottenham's forward line is standing on the cusp of the storm, Son Heung-min, Torres, Higuain, Dele. Ali is under tremendous pressure from public opinion, and everyone except for Da Bongxian (Ibrahimovic), who has performed well, is suffering from the media.
At this point, Boas stepped up and scolded the reporters: "You know how to play football! ”
At that time, the British media exploded, and they began to attack Boas, and the two sides were arguing and making a lot of noise.
In this way, the Tottenham players were forgotten and they enjoyed a rare period of silence.
In fact, Villas-Boas's approach is to protect the players, and at the same time put a lot of public pressure on himself, and he does not hesitate to anger the media for this.
Villas-Boas's attitude made Tottenham's forwards grateful, and they vowed to adjust their form quickly.
