Chapter 168: Champions League Qualification (First Update)

Napoli lost to 1:3 away, and the Spanish media was over there to cry out for Raul~ The game is not worth it, what Napoli is going to, but now it's good, and I don't even have to play the Champions League (). I knew that it was better to go to Schalke OP, who was also the runner-up of the Bundesliga last season, and was eligible to participate in the Champions League directly, so there was no need to play any Rausch qualifying tournament.

The Spaniard's complaints did not reach the ears of the Neapolitans, and at this time Mazzari was boosting the morale of the team, asking the whole team to cheer up and fight against the water.

"If we finish third in the Bundesliga last season in qualifying, that's bad, isn't it? No, not at all. Because our Naples luck isn't good! Trust me, guys, even if we make it past the qualifying rounds this time, we won't be able to take advantage of the group draw. So don't be lucky, thinking that you can vent your anger if you enter the Champions League, and you can win the Champions League qualifying round casually. Don't have such a fluke, because our opponents are ......

This time, before he finished speaking, he was yelled at by the players and answered: "UEFA!! ,

Raul was in the procession, and was secretly surprised to hear this shocking answer. I thought that the speculation of the media all this time turned out to be true. It's really a ball that Platini hates—......

"Good, you know. So the fact that our Champions League game in Napoli started with the game against Werder Bremen, guys. Everyone has to be 200 per cent to make it all the way to the knockout rounds! ,

Why did Mazzarri say he had made it all the way to the knockout rounds, rather than the semi-finals? Definitely not because Mazzari is more realistic and rational, and Napoli is self-aware, but because as long as he enters the knockout round, Chen Yingying will be able to lift the ban and make a comeback. It is not an exaggeration to say that Napoli's fighting power will increase by an order of magnitude at that time, just look at the terrifying vitality of Chen Yingying in the Champions League last season.

So all of Napoli's current tactical strategy in the Champions League is based on "making Chen Yingxing come back, this goal is formulated and carried out ().

It was clear to everyone a little, and no one objected.

It is no exaggeration to say that the group stage and the knockout stage of the Champions League are two completely different competitions......

"I haven't forgotten the game we played at home to Barcelona and I'm sure you won't forget it either. If you still want revenge, if you want to slap someone in the face in front of you, you're going to make it to the knockout round! ,

The revenge of Barcelona and Platini is very effective, because everyone in Napoli remembers the unforgettable hatred at their home stadium last season, and that scene is still in the minds of Napolins, neither the players nor the fans.

This can be called "not sharing the sky."

But Raul listened to it next to him, and his heart was full of emotion. As a Real Madrid player, his hostility towards Bahan Rona is natural. But in recent years, due to Barcelona's strength, Real Madrid's players will also appear to be less confident after seeing Barcelona, and even take the initiative to beg for mercy. For example, it is true to say that "Barcelona is indeed stronger than Real Madrid today, and I am telling the truth", but it is too inappropriate to say it as a Real Madrid player.

It's just that I didn't expect that in Naples, southern Italy, there is such a group of people who hate Barcelona no less than their Real Madrid, and even hate Barcelona even more than some Real Madrid players today......

Before Napoli's home match against Werder Bremen, there was a Creceous media interview with Chen Yingying, and the reporter wanted to make a fuss, hoping to have an exclusive interview with Chen Yingying in private.

He said: "Your absence has put Napoli in a difficult battle away from home, and now even reaching the Champions League is in question, does that mean you have an important ...... in the team", he said.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yingying glared at him angrily: "I believe that even without me, Napoli has the ability to enter the Champions League and enter the knockout round!" ,

He was right, Napoli, who was forced to a dead end and burst out with great combat power, came to a Jedi counterattack and returned the same score as Werder Bremen at home - Vizi,.

The two sides were tied on aggregate and the number of away goals were exactly the same, and 30 minutes of extra time was played. As a result, there was no achievement for 30 minutes, and only the penalty was decided.

After five rounds of intense draws, Napoli eliminated Werder Bremen 3-2 in the penalty shootout and entered the Champions League.

All Napoli fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Yingying also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He was really afraid that the team would be eliminated in the qualifying round, so I don't know how many voices from outside would criticize him for the title at the beginning, saying that he only cared about his own fire, but pushed the whole team into a disadvantageous situation, and was the culprit who was eliminated from the Napoli qualifying round.

Mazzar is actually right, Napoli can't play without Chen Yingying~ But he is always used to finding scapegoats, who cares about those at this time?

After Chen Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, he also knew that this was not the end, if the team was eliminated in the group stage, the same voice would definitely appear, but the "qualifying round" was replaced by the "group stage".

But now, no matter what, it's finally in the main competition. As long as you enter the main round, you have a chance to advance to the knockout round. At that point, he'll be back in the picture.

He could laugh three times: "Lao Tzu Hu Hansan is back again!" "Then vent all the fire that has been held in your belly, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!

After all the qualifying rounds are over, the list of 32 teams that will participate in the group stage of the Champions League has also been released.

There are four teams in the Serie A, namely Inter Milan, VC Milan, Roma and Napoli (). Originally, it was said that the Champions League qualification places in this Serie A league may be reduced to three, but fortunately, Inter Milan won the Champions League and scooped up enough European points for Serie A, so this Serie A league still has four Champions League places, otherwise Napoli would not even be eligible to participate in the qualifying round......

There are only two teams in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich and Schalke OP.

There are also four places in the Premier League: Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.

The countries represented are Lyon, Auxerre and Marseille.

La Liga has three teams participating, which are Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Valencia.

Other teams include: Twynjö and Ajax in the Netherlands, Ruby and Moszkosbada in Russia, Benfica and Braga in Portugal, Tel Aviv Workers in Israel, Bursa Sporting in Turkey, Glasgow Rangers in Scotland, Panathinaikos in Greece, Copenhagen in Denmark, Basel in Switzerland, Cluj in Romania, Srina in Slovakia, Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine, and Partizan Belgrade in the Serbian League.

The 32 teams are divided into four different brackets based on the European points over the years, with the first tier being seeded teams, including Inter Milan, Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, VC Milan and Lyon.

In the second depot are Ajax, Real Madrid, Roma, Shakhtar Donetsk, Benfica, Valencia, Marseille and Panathinaikos.

The third tier of teams are Tottenham, Glasgow Rangers, Partizan Belgrade, Schalke OP, Basel, Braga, Copenhagen and Spartak Moscow.

The teams in fourth pot are Workers with Raviv, FC Twente, Ruby Yama, AJ Auxerre, Cluj, Slina, Sporting Bursa and Napoli.

Although Napoli's performance in the Champions League last season was amazing, and they were considered the biggest dark horse in the Champions League that season, they suffered by playing too little in Europe, and last season was the first time in 18 years that they participated in the Champions League, and they were eliminated in the group stage of the UEFA Cup last season. After so many years, I have only had these two European experiences, and I really don't have any points. So this time it was divided, and Napoli was classified into the fourth bracket.

And this division means............ Naples has great hopes of being drawn to the group of death!

Without Chen Hero, Naples was put into the group of death again, what fate awaits them, this doesn't need to be explained, right?

Mazzari felt that this was simply a fat on Platini's lips, a perfect opportunity to send it to the door, like a kick in the face of an empty goal, could he not want it? Will he give up? How logical, reasonable, and impeccable is that...... If he doesn't want him, he's a fool!

But he didn't care about worrying about Platini's tricks at the draw ceremony.

Because the first round of the 2010-2011 Italian Serie A is imminent.

On 29 August, Napoli will travel to face their first-round opponents, Fiorentina.

However, Chen Yingying is likely to miss this game, because he did not train well before the game, and did not even go with the team to the away game.

On the morning of August 27, he flew to Monaco with the team's manager, Bigan.

There, there is the new UEFA Super Cup, which is played by Champions League winners Inter Milan against League Cup winners Atletico Madrid.

However, Chen Yingying did not go to Monaco to watch the game this time. He was going to attend the UEFA European competition held in Monaco last season for various awards. At the same time, he participated in the group draw ceremony of the Champions League for the new season with Biegon.

But Chen Yingying didn't think he was going to accept the award, and on the way to Monaco on the plane with Biegon, he joked to the club manager sitting next to him.

"I'm going to smack someone's face."
