007 Champions League group stage draw
Liverpool won two consecutive league games in the new season, although both were 1-0 wins, but the game was firmly under the control of the Reds, and Liverpool's goals did not come extremely hard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the second round of the league, the Premier League ushered in a key battle, with Manchester United and Chelsea at Old Trafford playing at home, and the two teams also played 0-0.
It's good, although they still maintain an unbeaten record, but the record is only one win and one draw, relatively speaking, Liverpool naturally has a small advantage, they have won two consecutive league games.
The better news for Liverpool was not that the two teams that had just completed the change of manager failed to win, but that one of the main rivals in the league had been upset; Manchester City challenged promoted Makardiff City away and conceded three goals and lost 2-3 away to McCity.
Qin Lang and his teammates were naturally extremely happy, seeing the main competitors of the league eating one after another, Liverpool certainly had a little bit of joy.
It's only been two rounds into the new season, but many of the Premier League's biggest names are in trouble.
Although Liverpool's side has suffered a lot due to Suarez's ban, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and even Arsenal have not been able to maintain their winning record, and they look a little out of form at the start of the new season.
Even if Liverpool is still adjusting the squad and cultivating tacit understanding, even if they fail to achieve some hearty big wins, they can always win, which is a very good performance. If you want to win the championship, you need stability a lot of times.
However, for Liverpool, the next game cannot be easy; Because they need to be careful in the next game, the third round of the league will meet Manchester United.
The two teams have a deep grudge in their history, and last season Manchester United woke up Liverpool's league title dream with a last-minute kick, which can be regarded as a new feud.
Liverpool still have a crucial game to play before this big game, and a title that has a lot of weight for Liverpool must be won.
UEFA Super Cup, a single-leg, single-leg competition held by UEFA at the beginning of each season, is where the Champions League winners compete against the Europa League winners! The UEFA Super Cup, as the opening match of the new European club competition, gives the winners of the Champions League and Europa League a chance to compete for the title.
Although at first glance such a champion is a bit of a chicken rib, the influence is actually relatively average; It's just that every team wants to prove that they are the best team, especially in such a European Super Cup, which is a single game, and there is no need to worry about what is too much physical consumption.
The most important thing is not to admit defeat, to play directly against the champions and to prove that you are the best team, which is very important.
It was not an easy task for Liverpool, who were against Chelsea in the Super Cup this time; The Blues had a disappointing run in the Champions League last season, failing to qualify for the group stage of the reigning Champions League champions, but it was a blessing in disguise as they won the UEFA Cup.
Qin Lang and his teammates are preparing for the Super Cup, and they will fight hard for the Super Cup with Chelsea at the Eden Stadium in the Czech Republic.
Although a championship like the Super Cup is not necessarily very important, there is no one who does not want to win such a championship; It's the best of the best, and it's also a good sign for the new season.
The 2013 UEFA Super Cup is played at the Eden Stadium in Prague, with Champions League winners Liverpool taking on Europa League winners Chelsea!
For Liverpool, this game is definitely a game that needs to be won; Because they are Champions League winners, they have to prove that they are the most fighting team in all of Europe.
Chelsea are also aiming for the Super Cup, and although they only won the Europa League last season, they never think they are satisfied with a Europa League, they still think that the team is quite effective and they should take away the victory even against any team.
The players of both teams want to walk away with the win, they both want to get the trophy in this trophy.
Of course, this is also their duty and obligation, since they have won the championship, they should take responsibility when enjoying the scenery; The Champions League winners are not just going to play the Super Cup, they also have the Club World Cup to play.
It's certainly not a lot of pressure for Liverpool, an international football tournament hosted by FIFA and featuring the best teams from six continents.
The burden for Liverpool is definitely not because of the strength of the opponents, although these teams certainly have a certain amount of fighting power, but there is still a certain gap in strength compared to the Champions League winners.
For Liverpool, the biggest pressure is really the schedule; Because when the Club World Cup starts, it's the middle of the season, that is, Liverpool has just passed the Christmas devil's schedule, which will definitely be a lot of pressure for Liverpool.
However, there are still a lot of expectations for many Chinese fans for this Club World Cup, because Evergrande will participate in the Club World Cup by virtue of the AFC Champions League champions, and if they can reach the semi-finals, they may really meet the Champions League champion Liverpool.
I'm looking forward to it, if the AFC Champions League champion Evergrande meets Liverpool, it may be a bit unrealistic to win against Liverpool, but it would be good if we could play each other. Moreover, it should be interesting to see those players from Evergrande challenge Qin Lang.
However, for Qin Lang, the Club World Cup and the like are still a bit far away, and he is now more concerned about the upcoming UEFA Super Cup and the upcoming league battle with Manchester United.
Naturally, we can't forget that it is now the end of the transfer period, and at this time many blockbuster transfers will be produced, and it is even likely that some transfers will change the league and even the European landscape, which must not be underestimated.
It's a crucial moment and it's only natural for the players to be fully focused on the game and preparation; It's just that as a team that aspires to win the championship, they naturally care more about it.
At the moment when the Super Cup is about to start, Qin Lang and his teammates are also nervously watching the upcoming Champions League group stage draw ceremony, which is a very crucial group for Liverpool.
No team has successfully defended the title after the Champions League restructuring, which is like a curse; Liverpool's players are naturally hoping to break that spell and they will naturally want to be able to create a legend this season.
The draw for the group stage of the 2013-14 UEFA Champions League was held at the Grimalti Convention Centre in Monaco, and Qin Lang did not go to Monaco because it was too late.
Although Qin Lang was selected as a candidate for the final top three of UEFA's best players, Qin Lang did not go to the scene because of the upcoming Super Cup.
According to the award process, the media representatives of the 53 UEFA member associations voted for the three players, and each media had a chance to vote, and the player with the highest cumulative votes was selected as the best.
Although Qin Lang, who helped the team win the championship and scored the winning goal, was selected as UEFA's best of the year with a high voice, it was just that for Qin Lang, the tournament that was close in front of him was more important.
The UEFA Footballer of the Year is not the World Footballer of the Year or the Golden Ball, Qin Lang is fully qualified; He only scored one goal, but it came in the final moments of the Champions League final. is also because of Qin Lang's ultra-low number of goals conceded in the Champions League last season, all of which makes it logical for Qin Lang to win the UEFA Best of the Year.
In the hotel, Qin Lang and his teammates paid attention to the Champions League group stage draw ceremony and were a little nervous.
The draw ceremony for the Champions League group stage was hosted by the British BBC anchor Pedro Pinto and Miss Switzerland Melanie Vienig, before the draw ceremony began, the big screen showed a review of last season's Champions League final, the short film in the form of an art gallery, reviewing the process of Liverpool winning the Champions League trophy last season.
The last shot is naturally the moment when the whole Liverpool team lifts the Champions League trophy.
After the short film screening, McNeil, who once led Scottish powerhouse Celtic to win the Champions League trophy, walked into the draw ceremony with the trophy in hand.
The Big Ears Cup has appeared again, although the Big Ears Cup has been engraved with Liverpool's name, but now there will be 32 teams going all out to win the Big Ears Cup.
The draw officially began, and the first guest to draw was Portuguese legend and Champions League ambassador Figo.
Under the chairmanship of UEFA Secretary-General Gianni Infantino, the draw ceremony officially began, Infantino first began to introduce the rules of the draw, the 32 teams are divided into four tiers, evenly divided into eight groups, and the teams in the same group and the same league will not meet.
McNeil and Figo moved Liverpool to Group F, followed by Chelsea in Group E, Real Madrid in Group B, Bayern in Group D, Barcelona in Group H, Benfica in Group C, Porto in Group G and Manchester United in Group A.
At this point, the draw for the first team in the Champions League group stage has been completed.
The draw of the first group does not make much sense, as the draw of the second and third groups will determine which group will be in the group of death.
The second guest in the draw was Dutch legend Cruyff, who and Figo were in charge of the draw for the teams in Pot 2.
The duo then moved Marseille to Group F, AC Milan to Group H, Schalke to Group E, Paris Saint-Germain to Group C, CSKA Moscow to Group D, Atletico Madrid to Group G, Juventus to Group B and Shakhtar Donetsk to Group A.
Marseille, this team is really not very good; For Liverpool, such a grouping is not bad.
In fact, among the teams in Pot 2, the most competitive teams are Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus; AC Milan is no longer at its peak. And Atletico Madrid and Schalke still need to continue to improve.
The third star is England star Owen, who partnered Figo in the draw for the third-tier team.
Liverpool need not worry, although Manchester City is among the teams in the third tier, but the English teams will not meet in the group stage; Be careful, though, and Dortmund.
As a result, the draw ended, and there was an uproar.
Owen and Figo have placed Basel in Group E, Olympiacos in Group C, Galatasaray in Group B, Bayer Leverkusen in Group A, Zenit in Group G, Ajax in Group H and Manchester City in Group D.
The result speaks for itself, only Dortmund remains, only Group F remains!
The two teams met in the semi-finals last season and this time they met again.
Qin Lang and his teammates are smiling bitterly, it is really in line with the consistent urine of the Champions League, very gimmicks and highlights.
The draw for the fourth pot team is coming, and former Borussia Dortmund star Sousa, he and Figo are in charge of the draw for the fourth pot team.
The first team to be drawn was Napoli, who were drawn in Group F; It's okay now, completely speechless.
Among the other teams, Real Sociedad were placed in Group A, Anderlecht in Group C, Celtic in Group H, Steaua Bucharest in Group E, Copenhagen in Group B, Viktoria Plzen in Group D and Vienna Austria in Group G!
Group A: Manchester United, Shakhtar Donetsk, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Sociedad.
Group B: Real Madrid, Juventus, Galatasaray and Copenhagen.
Group C: Benfica, Paris Saint-Germain, Olympiacos and Anderlecht.
Group D: Bayern, CSKA Moscow, Manchester City and Plzen victory.
Group E: Chelsea, Schalke, Basel and Bucharest Stars.
Group F: Liverpool, Marseille, Borussia Dort and Napoli.
Group G: Porto, Atletico Madrid, Zenit and Austria Vienna.
Group H: Barcelona, AC Milan, Ajax and Celtic.
Such a draw gives the impression that English teams will collide with Bundesliga teams, and every Premier League team will meet Bundesliga teams.
In addition, the defending champions are really not happy, except for the second-tier Marseille which is a relatively average team, and in the remaining two groups, they basically met the relatively absolute strongest team.
If it weren't for the group stage avoided by the same team, Liverpool might have to play Manchester City!
Nothing, really nothing; Anyway, it's the group stage, and besides, there may not be an absolute weak team among the teams in the same group, but it's not a real group of death.
Qin Lang is now concerned about the UEFA annual selection after the draw, which is also the first on-site voting.
After the draw of lots, the selection begins; After a short voting and final vote count, UEFA President Michel Platini took the stage to announce the winners.
Qin Lang won, he got thirty-one votes; The vast majority of the media still agree with Qin Lang's performance in the past season, and Messi's fourteen votes and Ronaldo's eight votes did not affect Qin Lang's best of the year at all.
This is a good start, for Qin Lang!
