The next day, the mainstream media in Europe reported on the draw for the 2012-2013 Champions League group, especially the prospects for the four teams in Group D.

They generally believe that with the exception of defending champions Valencia, who have a spot in one of the groups, all three teams will have a chance of qualifying from the group, but this chance is the least for the weakest Ajax.

In fact, when the draw was made to Group D, head coach Frank de Boer was mentally prepared, because Ajax drew Real Madrid and Lyon in the 2011-2012 Champions League group draw, so it was not surprising that in the 2012-2013 Champions League group to raise money to draw Valencia and Manchester City.

Of course, when the media analyzes the team's prospects for qualifying, it is natural to question the fairness of UEFA's Champions League draw ceremony this season, and whether there is a behind-the-scenes operation.

It's really because the result of the group draw this time is so surprising, the champions of the four leagues are together, and the league of these four teams is in the top five of the European League standings, except for Ajax, who are in the lower leagues......

In response to the media's doubts, UEFA officials have obviously been prepared for a long time, and the press officer's statement has always revolved around the fact that the Champions League draw ceremony is fair, just and flat......

In this regard, the media has no choice.

It is worth mentioning that after the draw for the Champions League group in the 2012-2013 season, the three major European bookmakers offered various odds.

Defending champions Valencia topped the table at 3 to 2, followed by Barcelona and Real Madrid at 4 to 5 and 5 to 1 respectively

Manchester City, who are in the same group as Valencia, are fifth at 1 to 10, while Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund are 10 to 29, even lower than the 1 to 31 of AC Milan.

Thirty-second is Danish side North Zealand, who are bottom of the table at 1,000 to 1......

As it turned out, Valencia's odds were ultra-low, and with Group D listed as the No. 1 Group of Death in history, they went on an early run with four wins in a row to qualify for the tournament two rounds early......

The Champions League derby for the national team, which Chinese fans are watching, did not go as they had hoped, as Feng missed the first leg of the match at Westfa-Lun Stadium due to injury.

As a result, Borussia Dortmund, who were missing von Shoting, lost 2-0 at home to defending champions Valencia......

While Valencia performed perfectly in the 2012-2013 Champions League group stage, La Liga did not fall behind, and they came straight to a series of 10 consecutive league wins, including a 3-0 away win over Barcelona and a 4-1 home win over Real Madrid......

As a result, many media outlets have begun to complain that there will be no surprises in the 2012-2013 season, as they will win La Liga and UEFA Champions League for the third consecutive season.

Valencia's performance next seemed to be a validation of the media's view, with Valencia winning the La Liga halfway title two rounds ahead of schedule, while in the Champions League group stage, they topped the group with 16 points from five wins and one draw, and advanced to the round of 16.

It is worth mentioning that Dortmund drew Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium in the final round of the group to beat Mancini's Manchester City by one point and advanced to the round of 16......

In the 2012-2013 Spanish Copa del Rey, Valencia also advanced to the round of 16.

As a result, many media outlets believe that it is only a matter of time before they are away from winning this competition......

Valencia were the eventual winners of the Club World Cup in Japan in mid-December, equalling AC Milan and São Paulo with three Club World Cup titles, and are tied for one of the most titles in the tournament's history.

However, after Valencia won the 2012 Club World Cup, almost all the media agreed that it was only a matter of time before Valencia overtook AC Milan and Sao Paulo to become the team with the most Club World Cup titles.

As stated by Torino Sport, Valencia captain Elo is now only 26 years old, an age that happens to be at the peak of professional athletes' health, and it is entirely possible to lead Valencia to another Champions League title in the next two or three seasons and participate in the 2012 Club World Cup.

Now that he is able to participate in the Club World Cup, will Valencia captain Elo, who is hungry for every title, be indifferent?

Obviously impossible!

So Valencia is hopeful of winning the Club World Cup for the fourth time in the club's history, surpassing AC Milan and Sao Paulo!

As Valencia continued to stunt in La Liga and the Champions League, league rivals Real Madrid had problems and they began to save money after several seasons of high spending, leading to much displeasure from manager Jose Mourinho.

He believes that the biggest reason why they have not been able to compete effectively with Valencia this season is that they have not continued to invest, and the team's current squad is completely incomparable to Valencia's squad.

It is obvious that Mourinho is pointing the finger at President Florentino, coupled with some deliberate guidance from the media, there is a gap between coach Mourinho and President Florentino.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who has always worked well with Mourinho, said in an interview with the media that the team's style of play was too conservative and giving up possession was the biggest reason for Real Madrid's loss.

The meaning is obvious, that is, Mourinho's tactics are not suitable for him!

It didn't take long for the newspaper Marca to break the news that Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo, who are also Portuguese, began to stop talking to each other and looked like passers-by.

In addition, the day before Real Madrid's league after the end of the winter break, Mourinho's carefully arranged tactics were published by the "Confidential", which directly led to the team's promotion to Granada in that round of the league......

For the early leakage of tactics, Mourinho felt that his authority was being challenged, and after analysis, he believed that the so-called 'inner ghost' in the dressing room was captain Casillas!

So he ignored the safety of the fans and the dressing room to put Casillas on the bench and chose to correct the second goalkeeper Diego López.

In the case of Real Madrid's civil strife, the European mainstream media began to ridicule that Barcelona last season was the sudden departure of coach Pep Guardiola because of Valencia's strength, and it was not expected that it would be Real Madrid's turn to have civil unrest this season......
