After playing Manchester City, the overall result was more satisfactory. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liverpool won the game 2-1 at home, and although they conceded a goal, it looked harmless; If Liverpool hadn't relaxed too soon, perhaps they could have pulled off a more beautiful victory.

But it's nothing, it's good to win the game; The players are not robots, they don't exist, they don't make mistakes all the time.

Qin Lang was actually quite depressed, and his teammate's own assist caused him to lose the ball; The first goal of the new season happened like this, and it was actually difficult for Qin Lang not to be depressed.

And after ending this focus battle, Qin Lang and his teammates did not dare to relax at all; The league record is one win and one draw, which is said to be in the past. But the draw ceremony for the Champions League group stage is coming soon, which is also the focus of everyone's attention.

At the end of August, the draw for the group stage of the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League took place at the Grimaldi Convention Centre in eastern Monaco. Although it is only a draw ceremony for the group stage, it is undeniable that such a draw ceremony is likely to determine whether the team's next schedule will be easy.

According to UEFA club points, the eight teams seeded this time are Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Porto, AC Milan, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Chelsea were automatically seeded as champions last season, but the Blues are also in the top eight, behind leaders Barcelona and Manchester United. Liverpool is the tail of the crane, and it is dangerous not to fall out of the top eight.

According to the Champions League club points rules, in simple terms, a team's Champions League points from the previous five seasons are added up to determine the seeding place in the draw.

Champions League points are not only determined by club results, but also by the points of various national football associations, of course, the two actually affect each other. Although Liverpool has not played in the Champions League for two seasons, some of the previous Champions League results are relatively good, and the cost is sufficient.

However, Liverpool are not happy, and if they do not have a good record in the Champions League this season, they will definitely fall out of Pot 1.

Although the first team does not mean that the strength is absolutely superior, it is definitely not to be underestimated, these teams have won the Champions League in history; These teams may have their own struggles at the moment, but they are all favourites to make it out of the group.

The teams in Pot 2 include Valencia, Benfica, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St. Petersburg, Schalke 04, Manchester City, Braga and Dynamo Kyiv.

Benfica, who had the best performance last season, finished in the top eight of the Champions League, while the Portuguese Super League powerhouse is also the only team in Pot 2 of the eight teams to have won the Champions League in Serie A, and the most dangerous opponent is undoubtedly the reigning Premier League champions Manchester City.

Manchester City is only because they have fewer Champions League points, but it definitely does not mean that this team is inferior; Winning the title in what is arguably the most competitive league in one fell swoop says a lot, and a look at the Blues' squad is enough to show that they are no worse than any team.

Pot 3 includes Olympiacos, Ajax, Anderlecht, Juventus, Spartak Moscow, Paris Saint-Germain, Fenerbahce and Lille.

Among them, Ajax and Juventus have won the Champions League, Juve is back in the Champions League, even if the old lady is still in the recovery period, but their lineup and confidence are definitely not inferior to the first two grades of the team, and their appearance is likely to cause the generation of the death group.

Paris Saint-Germain, who spent more than €100 million on an all-star squad this summer, are also formidable opponents, and the French side have the quality to be spoilers in the group stage.

Pot 4 includes Borisov, Dinamo Zagreb, Cluj, Malaga, Montpellier, North Zealand, Celtic and Borussia Dortmund.

There is no doubt that in this level of team, except for Dortmund, which makes people feel jealous, the other teams are basically playing soy sauce.

Qin Lang is paying careful attention to the drawing ceremony, hoping that the team can draw a good signing; Naturally, there is no need to worry too much about playing against some strong teams too early, Qin Lang is still confident in the strength of the team.

However, it needs to be considered that Liverpool will need to play on both the league and the Champions League this season, and a premature death will definitely increase the burden on the club.

Moderators Pinto and Vinig stood at the Grimalti Congress Centre on time to brief the audience and the audience in front of the television about the draw and the process of awarding the best player in Europe.

First of all, the big screen on the scene showed the best shots of the 2011-2012 Champions League season, from the group stage battle, the bloody knockout battle to the glory of Chelsea beating Bayern Munich for the first time in the final.

Qin Lang felt a little excited and looking forward to it, it was actually quite depressing not to play in the Champions League last season, but fortunately, Liverpool returned to the Champions League stage again this season.

The two hosts took centre stage the award presenter and Manchester United legend Dennis Law, who won the 1964 European Footballer of the Year, and the second guest was England's Michael McManaman, who won the Champions League with Real Madrid and is also an ambassador for this season's Champions League.

The draw ceremony officially began, Dennis Law first drew last season's La Liga champion Real Madrid from the first pot, and McManaman drew Real Madrid into Group D; The second team to appear in Pot 1 is Bayern, with the Bundesliga giants in Group F; Next, Barcelona are in Group G, Porto are in Group A, AC Milan are in Group C, Chelsea are in Group E and Manchester United are in Group H.

Then there is only one team left, Liverpool are the last team to be drawn, and it may be said that there is no need for a draw at all, they automatically enter Group B. In the end, the three teams that were drawn were all from the Premier League, which is quite interesting.

However, Qin Lang didn't say much, because the draw of the first-tier team didn't mean anything at all; The draw for the second and third pots is key, and if a team like Borussia Dortmund is one of the teams in the fourth pot, there may be some trouble.

After Dennis Law has successfully completed his mission, the next person to be asked on the stage is 1995 European Footballer of the Year Liberian superstar George Weah, who will be in charge of drawing the team in Pot 2.

The first team to be drawn was Shakhtar Donetsk, the champion of the Ukrainian Super League, who was drawn from Group E; One team after another was drawn, and Qin Lang was not worried; Manchester City are the best of the teams in the second tier, but there is nothing to worry about in the group stage.

Schalke 04 entered Group B, such an opponent is not good or bad; Schalke is a familiar opponent to Qin Lang, and he has competed in the Bundesliga. Relatively speaking, the strength is not bad among the second-tier teams, but no problem.

Qin Lang was a little excited, because Schalke entered Group B, so the teams in the same league automatically avoided the principle, and Dortmund in the fourth tier team would definitely not meet Liverpool in the group stage.

The next thing to care about is the third-tier team, which is the focus of Qin Lang's concern. It wouldn't be Juventus and Paris, and if you're lucky, it shouldn't be Ajax.

The guest in the third pot is Gullit, one of the Dutch Three Musketeers, who was the European Footballer of the Year in 1987; The first to be drawn were Turkish Super League side Galatasaray, followed by Lille.

The third team is Olympiacos, who are in Group B!

Qin Lang clenched his fists excitedly, he knew that Liverpool would definitely be easier in the group stage of the Champions League in the new season; The second-tier teams and the third-tier teams are in the middle of the pack in their respective brackets, but there is certainly a big gap between them and Liverpool.

Liverpool has avoided the strong teams in their respective grades, and because of these teams, they can also avoid other teams; The fourth-tier team doesn't need to care at all, because with Schalke 04, Dortmund can't enter Group B, and Liverpool is easy!

The guest in charge of drawing the fourth pot is Italian legend Cannavaro, who won the European Footballer of the Year in 2006. Cannavaro is one of the few defensive players to win the Ballon d'Or, a player who is always credited with winning the World Cup for Italy.

Qin Langle hehe, Montpellier was drawn into Group B where Arsenal, Schalke 04 and Olympiacos are located, and the group stage was easy.

It is no exaggeration to say that the group stage of the Champions League for the Reds in the new season is relatively easy; Although I can't say that it is the easiest group, it is not far behind.

Of course, there must be a group of death, and it hurts to watch.

Group D: Real Madrid, Manchester City, Ajax, Borussia Dortmund!

The defending champions of La Liga, the Premier League, the Eredivisie and the Bundesliga, all four of which have the quality to qualify from the group and even reach the quarter-finals, may not be surprising even if they reach the semi-finals.

Well, now these four teams will be in a brutal competition; Only two of the four teams made it out of the group, one in the Europa League and one in Europe.

This is the group of death, I believe that these four teams will definitely not be able to laugh when they see such a draw.

As for the other teams, they may be snickering, or depressed, or they may accept the fate of their own team playing soy sauce, but compared to these four teams, they are really much happier.

Manchester City should be the most difficult, last season's Champions League group stage, there was also a "group of death", when Bayern, Villarreal, Manchester City, Napoli four major league teams were in a group; Manchester City, who have been away from the Champions League for 64 years, paid their tuition fees because they were "too young", and this season they have moved on to Group D of the more dead group.

There was no schadenfreude, but Qin Lang did feel relieved; It's better for others to be worse than Liverpool, even if Qin Lang is more belligerent and likes strong conversations, but he can't encounter bayonet encounters too early, because Liverpool has big goals this season! (To be continued.) )
