Chapter 120: Before the Champions League

Hard work is a prerequisite for everyone's growth, but if a person wants to grow, what is needed is the accumulation of time and the experience of the game, so, for Jones now, no matter how terrifying his talent is, his growth needs a process, Segura understands this, and Jones understands this now.

On the match day, Chelsea challenged Atletico Madrid away, this game, Jones continued to start, Costa substitute, Jones was already a core member of the team, the injury in the Chelsea team had little impact, only one substitute player was injured, the problem was not big, Atletico Madrid's central midfielder Fernandes was injured, and the rest of the players were not too problematic, and the lineup was relatively neat.

In the match against Stoke City, Jones scored a hat trick and the match between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid, Jones was the focus of many fans, and the duel with Griezmann was also a highlight.

This round of Champions League matches is a key match worth looking forward to, the match between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain,

Judging from the situation this season, Paris Saint-Germain has a relatively high win rate, and Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are in a similar situation, with similar wins and losses between the two sides.

Paris Saint-Germain is at home against Bayern Munich, according to the strength of the two teams, even if Paris Saint-Germain is at home against Bayern, it is also more likely to lose, the two sides have met twice in the Champions League in 2000, Paris Saint-Germain won at home and lost away.

From the perspective of this season, Paris Saint-Germain has played quite strongly in Ligue 1, with a proud record of 7 wins and 1 draw in 8 games this season, while Bayern Munich lost to Hoffenheim and drew with Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, and won the rest of the games, with both sides winning high rates in their respective leagues.

Paris Saint-Germain Pastori is injured, but Neymar is back from injury, Paris Saint-Germain lineup is not too affected, Bayern team Neuer, Vidal, Bernat and others are unable to play, and the back line is damaged.

Paris Saint-Germain played smoothly in the league, although the last game was drawn by Montpellier, but the absence of Neymar returned this game, which is a good thing for Paris, in Ligue 1 Paris is not much of a challenge, in this season Paris with a huge amount of reinforcements, 222 million euros to buy Neymar, setting a world record for player transfer fees.

Paris' current results will be mainly in the Champions League, with Bayern Munich being the strongest opponents in the group and PSG looking to get three points.

Bayern Munich's European experience is undoubtedly richer than Paris, and its strength is better than Paris Saint-Germain, but Bayern was also forced to draw by Wolfsburg in the league last game, Bayern's team is currently under greater pressure from the outside world, and the game against Paris Saint-Germain is a tough battle, and it is also a good opportunity to eliminate doubts, Bayern will undoubtedly attach great importance to this game.

Both sides will need to prove themselves in the Champions League, so naturally both sides will give their best, and the match between Paris and Bayern Munich will be fierce.

There is also the game of Sporting Lisbon VS Barcelona, the two sides have met twice in 08, Barcelona won, this season to look at the two sides, Sporting Lisbon has not won many times in the league, and there have been few wins in all competitions since the start of the new season, Barcelona has won all the goals in the league, and only 1 game has been lost.

Sporting Lisbon is at home against Barcelona, according to the comparison of the strength of the two teams and the image of the team, Barcelona has a better chance of winning, the two sides met in 08 in 2 games, Sporting Lisbon was killed by Barcelona home and away.

From the perspective of this season, Sporting Lisbon is currently unbeaten and has a good winning rate, but the last 2 games have been drawn, Barcelona has won all in the league, and the state is brave, and Sporting Lisbon has lost all the meetings.

Sporting Lisbon has a relatively complete squad with no injuries in the squad, and Dembele and Raphinha are out of Barcelona's squad, but in terms of the depth of the squad of the Barcelona giants, there is not much problem in the squad.

Sporting Lisbon won three points in the first round of the Champions League, but there are two strong teams in the group, Barcelona and Juventus, they must strive to score points to have any hope of qualifying.

Barcelona is currently winning all the leagues, the state is sharp, the team has also eliminated all kinds of doubts before the season, the atmosphere in the team is very good, this time facing the opponent Athletic Leesbon who is obviously inferior to their own strength, Barcelona is also aiming for three points.

There is also the biggest game to watch, the strong dialogue of Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea game, the two sides have met twice in the 2014 Champions League, Atletico Madrid has played against Chelsea 5 times, achieved 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, the gap between the two sides is not big, Atletico Madrid has played Chelsea 2 times, all draws.

This season, Atletico Madrid are unbeaten in seven games, four wins and three draws, winning all home games, Chelsea have won all this season, and they have also won all in the league.

Atletico Madrid won all at home, Chelsea won all, Atletico Madrid has Chelsea and Roma in this group, and it is not too easy to qualify.

Chelsea have played smoothly in the Premier League, just beating Stoke City 4-0 in the league, although Chelsea is playing away, but facing the main opponent Atletico Madrid, Chelsea will not be careless, and is looking forward to the game between the two sides.

Atletico Madrid PK Chelsea, Atletico Madrid will also usher in the first Champions League match at the new Wanda Metropolitano Stadium, Atletico Madrid and Chelsea have similarities in their playing style, both emphasize the overall defense, and the Sheets conceded only 27 goals in 38 league games last season, the fewest goals conceded by any team in La Liga.

Chelsea conceded 33 goals in 38 league games last season, Atletico Madrid have always been afraid to play strong teams, their strong style of play and anti-counter-attacking strategy are feared, and after Kodic's new appointment, the Blues' defensive ability has been maintained, and the attacking ability of the attacking line has been improved, and the two teams will surely collide with a fierce hand-to-hand fight.

Fernando Torres was a key figure in the campaign, having moved from Liverpool to Chelsea for £50 million, scoring 45 goals in 172 appearances and winning three trophies with the Blues, as well as Felipe, who briefly spent one season at Stamford Bridge.

The goalkeeper duel, Oblak VS Courtois, the goalkeeper duel, when it comes to defense, I have to mention the steel goalkeeper of the two teams, the duel between Oblak and Courtois is interesting.

Courtois has played for Atletico Madrid on loan for 3 seasons and won 4 titles with the team, while Oblak is Atletico's new goalkeeper, he has only conceded 76 goals in 120 appearances for the team.
