Chapter 029: Champions League Super Death Group
The results of the UEFA Champions League group draw are out, and everyone is analysing the results of this draw.
First of all, there are two groups of death this time, the first is the first group A, Inter Milan as the champion of the Champions League last season, and the first treble winner of Serie A, the strength must be very powerful, it can be called a hegemonic level.
And Dortmund's strength is also good, they were the UEFA Europa League champion and the Bundesliga double last season, and their strength can also be seen, very strong.
Tottenham Hotspur is also very strong after that, they have really invested a lot in the transfer market in recent years, and now it is finally time to bear fruit. Last season they broke a monopoly on the Premier League's traditional top four, knocking Liverpool straight away, finishing fourth in the Premier League and qualifying for the Champions League.
To be honest, as a team that broke the monopoly of the Premier League's BIG4, Tottenham Hotspur should be very strong, they are seen as an outlier in the third tier, and no one wants to touch them. They are considered to be the favourites in this season's Champions League.
Then there's the FC Twente, who are no weaker than they were, having won the Eredivisie title last season under England coach McClaren, beating the likes of PSV Eindhoven, Ajax and Feyenoord. It's also the only league title in the club's history, and it's really strong.
Therefore, FC Twente is also an easy team to deal with.
The first group is really the most difficult group at this time, and at this time, even the defending champions Inter Milan are afraid to pat their breasts and claim that they will be able to break through this group.
This group is the most brutal and deadly group in recent years.
After the draw came out, Inter Milan manager Rafael Benitez said: "This group is very tough, but of course it is very embarrassing. Our opponents are very strong, whether it is Tottenham Hotspur or Twente, it is very difficult to play against, let alone Dortmund. So this group will definitely take a lot of our energy and make us have some problems in the league in the early stage. ”
Yes, it's really bad for teams that have to play two games a week or even three times a week because it takes them a very, very lot of energy.
No wonder Benitez was in a very bad mood, and his mood was down to a few points.
Yes, after Jose Mourinho left Inter Milan successfully, Inter Milan immediately found the cup king Rafael Benitez, who had just left Liverpool.
Rafa Benitez was sacked because of Liverpool's poor results this season.
Actually, Benitez can't really be blamed for this. Liverpool's seventh-place finish in the league this season has something to do with the massive injuries to their club's players and the fact that they didn't win the Europa League.
In all such cases, Benitez was fired.
Inter Milan naturally recognized Benitez's strength, so they invited him to the team to replace Mourinho.
Benitez also said: "This group is really bad, I really don't know how UEFA divided it. But we are still more confident, we are the strongest team in this group, I believe we can get the win, we will definitely qualify! ”
Yes, despite the difficulties in this group, Benitez still thinks they will have no problem qualifying for Inter Milan.
Inter Milan fans naturally agree with this.
Of course, after this grouping came out, the Italian media was naturally crazy about Diss UEFA, which must be shady, otherwise why would our Inter Milan be placed in such a group? At the same time, AC Milan is also going to meet Real Madrid, and Roma is not lucky?
Obviously, UEFA is targeting Italian teams!
The Italian media sprayed UEFA into a pig's head!
Of course, journalists from other countries are also crazy about displaying UEFA, because this group is really a strong conspiracy theory, UEFA is operating in the dark, they manipulated the draw.
Here, Dortmund's head coach Jurgen Klopp was also interviewed.
Jurgen Klopp said: "I don't really have much to say about this kind of grouping, it was really unexpected. I always thought that my luck was very good and that we should get a very easy group? We should have been in the second group, but unfortunately ......"
When he said this, Klopp showed a helpless wry smile.
Klopp continued: "Obviously, this group is going to be very, very difficult, every team has the quality to qualify. Obviously, a lot of our energy is going to be focused on this, and it's going to affect our general approach to the season, which is really ...... It's difficult! ”
Yes, Klopp did not hold back at all.
This group is really very powerful, if he had to choose, he would never have entered this group, this group is too strong.
Jurgen Klopp added: "Of course, Tottenham Hotspur are very strong and they have a very late squad. There's fast Mabel on the wing, there's Modric in the middle, and some other players, this team is really difficult to deal with, and we may not be able to beat them! ”
It's not Klopp who is instigated, but Tottenham Hotspur is really strong.
As for the final Twente, this is not an easy opponent to gnaw on.
Klopp was really helpless, he said: "What else can we do when we encounter such a group of death? Obviously, we have to play with our quality and fight the opponents, every game is a key battle to qualify, and we have to try to get more points from the start. ”
Jurgen Klopp is ready for a tough fight, this group is super strong.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp also had a very serious face when he faced the interview, and even his hair turned a lot grayer.
Redknapp said: "I really didn't expect that we would be in such a group. Although we had expected that we should enter a death group, we did not expect to enter such a powerful group, this group is really too difficult and devilish. ”
The media reporters all smiled slightly, and sure enough, every manager said so.
Redknapp continued: "We were scared of all the teams in this group because we didn't play against them, so we didn't know about them, and that's the worst thing that can happen. Now the relevant departments of our club are going to start preparing and we have to gather all the information about our opponents, and the game is already in full swing! ”
Sure enough, Redknapp is still relatively old-fashioned, and he has been preparing for the next game from now on, and it can be seen that he is the best prepared person.
This is very satisfying and very happy for the fans of Tottenham Hotspur, it can be seen that they Tottenham Hotspur are the last dark horses, and they have the most potential as dark horses.
Now the outside world is talking about this group, and they are all paying attention to the situation of this group.
FC McLaren, head coach at FC Twente, also gave an interview, saying: "This group has almost declared our FC Twente out. The other three teams are really strong, we almost don't have any chances, we just go to gain experience! ”
Yes, at this time, McLaren was showing weakness to the enemy, wanting to paralyze the opponent from the beginning so that the opponent would not value them. Then they can steal the chickens, preferably to win the previous games, so that they have a chance to qualify from this group.
McLaren praised all the opponents in this group.
McLaren added: "This group is obviously the worst group and we are ready to be eliminated. Of course, we're going to try for it, but it's really unlikely. Naturally, I'm more bullish on Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur, both of which have a good chance of making it out of this group! ”
Many people are very surprised, McLaren is not optimistic about Dortmund?
McLaren said: "Dortmund's demon striker Gu Zhen is no longer good, which will inevitably affect Dortmund's results, so their strength has dropped a lot." It should be unlikely that they will want to qualify from this group, not Borussia Dortmund! ”
Yes, at this time, McLaren directly attacked Dortmund and Gu Zhen.
This is very upset for Dortmund fans, what is this damn McLaren talking about? How dare you look down on Gu Zhen of our club? It's really looking for death.
McClaren is doing this for a reason, as Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur are going to let their guard down at both clubs. As for Borussia Dortmund, they think they can compete with Dortmund, and they really have a chance of finishing second in the group.
Yes, McLaren is aiming for second place in the group.
McLaren's words stirred up the smell of gunpowder in this group, and of course, more people echoed McLaren, they all thought that McLaren was right, Gu Zhen was a parallel product, he would never get up, and he was going to be finished.
The group stage of the Champions League has not yet begun, and the smell of gunpowder has come out.
The second group of death in this draw is naturally Group G, which includes AC Milan, Real Madrid, and Ajax, who won the UEFA Champions League, and one of these three teams will be eliminated.
This group is also more deathly, and Real Madrid's recent results in the Champions League are not very good, otherwise they would not be relegated to the second tier. Therefore, all three teams have a chance and may be eliminated, and this is also a group of death.
This group of death, compared to the first group, is indeed a lot worse taste. However, there are still a lot of media reporters who claim that UEFA is shady and UEFA is operating in the dark. Real Madrid and AC Milan only met in the group stage last season and now they meet again, isn't that shady?
Forcibly creating highlights is the deadliest shady, UEFA garbage.
