244. Right in sight

"Group E, Inter Milan have been in very consistent form this season, they have not lost a single point, and the two strong teams in the same group, Paris Saint-Germain and Valencia, have won the match, so Zack's team has already qualified from the group ahead of schedule, and the other two teams still need to fight for the second right to qualify in the final round. However, Paris Saint-Germain's form has been up and down, Ranieri's transformation of Valencia has not been too successful, and both teams are not in a good situation in the league, and Valencia will have a certain advantage at home. ”

This brief summary of Group E comes from Brazilian Leonardo, who is clearly more optimistic about the Bats.

Maldini was as good as he could, writing Inter Milan and Valencia on the tactical board.

After analyzing the first five groups one by one, the standings near the end of the season are basically consistent with the strength of the teams in the group, and there is no surprising drama, but the rest is different.

"In Group F, Arsenal are in better form this season than they were last season, and although their unbeaten streak has been broken, the integrity and depth of the squad far exceed last season, and they deserve to be at the top of Group F. What is more surprising for this group is that Roma did not join Arsenal to qualify as predicted, but lost the away game against CSKA Moscow, and even did not win the two opponents in the same group at home, CSKA and Celtic, and there is no hope of qualifying. ”

"The latest news is that Rudy Worrall has announced his resignation, and he has a long-standing conflict with the Roma captain, which is the main reason for the Roma team's significant decline in results this season. ”

Capello went to Turin to take Zebina and Emerson with him, but this is far from a nerve-wracking injury for Roma, De Rossi's excellence has been recognized by all parties, Tomasi is not yet in the twilight of his career, and the attacking combination of Totti, Cassano and Montella in the front court has not been dismantled, in terms of strength, the Roma team should still exist in the ranks of the league title.

It's just a pity that Prandelli's wife was seriously ill and the Roma team changed coaches in a hurry before the season, and Worrall did not succeed in controlling the hot dressing room in Rome, and finally the coach fell out of harmony and his results plummeted.

"Has Roma announced a successor?" , this is Jiang Qi's more concerned issue, Milan will meet with Roma in the next round.

The assistant uncle shook his head, "The news just came in, and Roma said that a press conference will be held later to introduce the new manager. ”

"It is said that a change of coach is like a change of knife, and it seems that we will have to make more preparations for the next league." , Jiang Qi pinched his chin thoughtfully, "Don't talk about the Roma team, let's continue to ......"

The old Maldini picked up his analysis report again, "After being eliminated by us by a big score last season, many people thought that Deportivo La Coruna would enter a period of decline, but this season's Champions League group stage and La Liga, Super Laco still showed considerable competitiveness, three wins and two draws after five games to remain unbeaten and easily won the first place in Group G, but invited Benitez, Liverpool, who is considered to have the hope of re-emergence, played a mess in the group stage, and played a draw and a loss against Deportivo La Liga, a La Liga team, The away game against Olympiacos both capsized, and if it weren't for the lack of strength of the other two teams in the same group, I am afraid that the second place in the group would not have been retained. ”

Italian Papinei, the scout in charge of Group G, went on to say Maldini Sr.: "Liverpool's biggest problem at the moment is that the pace of the game is not well controlled, and if we meet the Reds in the first round of the knockout round, we will be relatively easy. ”

The rookie coach listened to his words and raised his eyebrows unconsciously, the reason for Liverpool's weak midfield combing ability is easy to find, Benitez's fancy Xavi Alonso was robbed by the wealthy Chelsea, no matter how wise Master Bei is, it is impossible to create a back out of thin air, and there are not many midfielders like Alonso who can be bought, and it is inevitable that the Reds' rhythm control will be out of balance.

However, if you really want to play against Liverpool in the knockout round, you have to strictly prevent the outbreak of the small universe by Gerrard's classmates, which is the only factor that Lao Jiang feels uncontrollable......

"The situation in Group H, if you just look at the final standings, you will be a little surprised, but if you look at the course of five rounds, you will think that the result is logical. At the top of the group is not the seeded Manchester United, but the second-tier team from France, Lyon, Manchester United have spent a lot of time running in the squad after bringing in England's hopeful Wayne Rooney, and the Portuguese youth in their team is still polishing, and many habits still appear on the pitch from time to time, and have not been completely abandoned...... So the team's offensive line has been greatly affected. ”

Yan Yi raised his hand, "There is still one team in this group that needs our attention, Eindhoven is now only two points away from Manchester United, and the next round of the two teams will have a direct dialogue at Old Trafford, although the probability of the Dutch team advancing is not large, but I propose to take a serious look at this game, in the first leg of the competition, Eindhoven beat Manchester United by two goals at home and broke the upset, but after watching the game, you will find that their targeted defense of Manchester United's attack is very successful, and the two counterattack goals are also targeted, So it's very informative. ”

Jiang Qi heard his voice, "Do you think that our opponent in the first round of the knockout round may be Manchester United?" ”

"That's right!" , Yan Yi nodded, "First of all, both the Lord and Manchester United are enough to become a gimmick for the focus of the match, and the strength of Manchester United is not as bad as they showed at the beginning of the season, and many Portuguese who are still problem geniuses in the eyes of the outside world have performed very well in the game against Chelsea, which means that UEFA is optimistic that he will grow into a big player, coupled with the experience and tone of the Lord . Teach the means of the players...... What's more, in fact, the Champions League has now been played, and there is no better opponent than Manchester United in the team that has qualified as group runners-up, if I were the president of UEFA. ”

Everyone looked at the tactical board behind Maldini, and it was true that Monaco, Bremen, Valencia or Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, CSKA Moscow, none of these teams would attract as much attention as Manchester United would on a promotional poster.

According to UEFA's consistent preferences and style of acting, I am afraid that Milan's first opponent in the knockout round is already about to come out.

Red Devils Manchester United!

The team, which had been dormant for a season after David Beckham's departure from Madrid, seemed to have hope for a new lease of life, and with the red-nosed Scottish man, a tough battle seemed to be on the horizon.
