――――

In August, all teams are preparing for the game, and the topics of the entire European football media, except for the later transfers, that is, the preparation of each team, transfers, training, warm-up matches, etc., have appeared in the media reports. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The same goes for the Spanish media.

Atletico Madrid's transfer work has long since ended, but the news that they have just beaten Barcelona to win the Spanish Super Cup has caused quite a stir in the media.

Comments poured in.

Some media criticized Barcelona, some media praised Atletico Madrid, believing that Atletico Madrid had stronger strength than last season, and some media thought that Barcelona was not playing well and was 'not adaptable', the term was used for Barcelona, and some Catalan media even criticized the cooperation between Spanish football and Chinese football.

"Atletico Madrid is a team invested by a Chinese company, Wan Sheng is Chinese, Atletico Madrid has a young Chinese striker Wang Qiuming, and the Spanish Super Cup in China is almost the same as at the Calderón Stadium. It's no surprise that Atletico will win......"

This statement was affirmed by Barcelona supporters.

Of course, it was too late for them to say so, the trophy was already in the trophy showroom of Atletico Madrid, and the Spanish Football Federation could not have restarted the Super Cup because of the media's demands.

The most important thing for Atletico Madrid is to welcome the new season.

The start of the new season is the Champions League group draw.

Atletico Madrid were last season's La Liga champions and qualified directly for the knockout stages of the Champions League round of 32.

On August 26, the Champions League group draw ceremony was held at the Palace of Parliament in Monaco's Place de la Crown.

Before the start of the group draw ceremony, the chairman, general manager and head coach who came to the scene on behalf of the club entered the venue in turn, and interestingly, when Wan Sheng and Little Hill walked to the door together, they happened to meet Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.

"So coincidentally?"

Wan Sheng was a little surprised, and the reporter next to him was suddenly excited, these two have a 'deep hatred', and it would be great if something happened.

Ferguson also paused, and his smiling face suddenly turned cold.

Originally, after Wan Sheng left Manchester City, he would no longer be the head coach, and the two would have little intersection, and then Wan Sheng coached Atletico Madrid, which had nothing to do with Manchester United.

But last season, Manchester United and Barcelona competed for the Champions League, Wan Sheng intervened again, and said that 'Ferguson announced his retirement, Manchester United can win the championship', and then Ferguson announced that he could coach for another two years, so Manchester United lost to Barcelona decisively.

After that, many English media turned out Wansheng's comments, all of which thought that 'Ferguson should announce his retirement', 'he is old enough', and 'he should give the opportunity to young people', which made Ferguson angry.

In Ferguson's view, there is nothing more hateful than this young Chinese face, and now that he has met Wan Sheng in the hall again, Ferguson's mood can be imagined.

Ferguson knew that there was a reporter next to him, so he didn't say anything, just had a cold face, but Wan Sheng smiled, he came over and took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and said, "I watched the Champions League final, Manchester United performed very well, I really hope to be in a group with you." ”

"Hula......"

This is a provocation!

The reporter next to him was suddenly excited.

Ferguson snorted coldly, didn't take the conversation, just patted Wan Sheng's hand, and turned around and walked into the venue.

Wan Sheng shrugged at the reporters around him and said, "Doesn't the British royal family award knighthoods based on character?" He's so ungraceful. After speaking, he also walked into the venue.

The meeting between Wan Sheng and Ferguson was just a small episode, and after all the people entered the venue, the group draw ceremony began quickly.

According to the rules of the Champions League, the teams that enter the Champions League group stage will be divided into four tiers, and according to the rule of one team in each tier, they will be divided into eight groups from A to H, of which the top two teams in each group will have the right to qualify and enter the knockout stage of the round of 16.

The Champions League is seeded Inter Milan, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal and Porto, while the second tier is CSKA Moscow, Benfica, Manchester City, Valencia, Marseille, Shakhtar Donetsk and AC Milan.

Since Atletico Madrid had only played in the Europa League once in the previous five years, the team only had UEFA points from La Liga, and the total number of UEFA points was not even comparable to Shakhtar Donetsk, so it could only be placed in the third tier.

Atletico Madrid, which beat Barcelona to win La Liga last season, is only a third-tier team in the Champions League, which is also the inadequacy of the Champions League rules.

Wansheng was not satisfied with this.

When he entered the venue and before the group draw began, he complained to the media, "I don't understand what UEFA points are, but we won the La Liga title last season, won the Spanish Copa del Rey, and just beat Barcelona to win the Super Cup, but Barcelona is the first team, we are only the third team, which is completely unfair." ”

Of course, these complaints are useless, and UEFA cannot change the points rules just because Atletico Madrid is unhappy.

It is still very dangerous for Atletico Madrid to be placed in the third tier, because the first and second tiers are strong teams, so to speak, which group Atletico Madrid is in, which group will become the 'group of death'.

In fact, many media commented on the draw grouping, "Atletico Madrid is the outlier in the third tier. ”

Wan Sheng is complaining about the grouping of the team, in fact, there is no team that wants to be in a group with Atletico Madrid, there is no doubt that Atletico Madrid is very strong, from last season to now, they have beaten Barcelona four times will be proof, and as the head coach Wan Sheng, the age is not very old in the coaching industry, but he has a lot of experience in leading the team, he knows the team in England very well, and also has rich experience in Serie A, such as AC Milan, his experience is coupled with the strong strength of Atletico Madrid, any team will have a headache.

But no matter what they thought, the draw ceremony began.

Needless to say, last season's Champions League summary and awards, first of all, Real Madrid and Lyon met together.

It's interesting.

The two teams met for the third season, with Real Madrid breaking the curse of defeat to Lyon last season.

Fernandos Bob, Spain's national sports commentator, expressed sympathy for Lyon, "They either ran into Real Madrid or Barcelona. ”

Then Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk collided, Shakhtar Donetsk is also a strong team, and some people think this is also a 'group of death'.

The teams were drawn together, with smiles and lamentations, and finally it was the turn of the third team to draw, and the guest Powell drew a name for Group A - Athleticmadrid (Atletico Madrid).

The scene was amazed.

In this Champions League group draw, the team that attracted the most attention is Atletico Madrid, not because Atletico Madrid has strong strength, but because they are placed in the third pot.

Atletico Madrid dare not say that they are the first in Europe, but the third tier certainly does not meet their quality evaluation, so their grouping has attracted much attention.

Bayern Munich and Manchester City have already been placed in Group A, and it is interesting for the two teams to meet each other, plus an Atletico Madrid.

"A group of real death!"

Bayern Munich is a traditional European giant, and as the Bundesliga hegemon, Bayern Munich's Champions League results have always been good. Not to mention being able to compete for the Champions League, but it is not difficult to enter the round of 16 and the quarterfinals.

Manchester City also deserve recognition.

After winning the Champions League with Manchester City in 2008, City's results declined the following year, but with a large number of stars joining, their results quickly recovered.

Last season, Manchester City were successful as they finished third in the league and won the FA Cup.

The Premier League has always been known for its fierce competition, the first in the Premier League and the third in the Premier League, in fact, the strength is about the same, plus in the summer, Manchester City continued to spend a lot of money on acquisitions, 77.5 million euros of the 'standard king' Aguero does not need to talk about much, 24 million pounds of Nasri is also a heavyweight transfer, in addition, Manchester City also introduced Savic and Klich two new signings, to make the squad more perfect.

Manchester City are certainly stronger than last season and are even considered a serious contender for the Champions League title.

Then, there's Atletico Madrid.

In recent years, Atletico Madrid has only played in the Europa League, and has not shown their head and foot in the Champions League, but no one dares to underestimate their strength, under the leadership of Wan Sheng, their competition with Barcelona and Real Madrid is the most obvious manifestation of strength.

Atletico Madrid are also favourites in the Champions League, and although their title is not favourable, their quality is recognised.

Bayern Munich, Manchester City, plus one Atletico Madrid, one of the three teams will definitely be eliminated, and the competition situation in Group A can be imagined.

The rest of the draws don't seem to matter.

The media began to discuss enthusiastically, and the heads of the three teams, who are the protagonists of Group A, all looked a little unpleasant.

Manchester City coach Roberto Mancini never expected that he would lead Manchester City to the Champions League and encounter such a difficult challenge; Bayern Munich coach Heynckes only replaced Louis van Gaal in March, and he took over Bayern Munich for the third time to lead the team to the Champions League.

Wan Sheng also had a gloomy face.

He didn't want to meet Bayern Munich at all, if his memory was not wrong, in the 2011-2012 Champions League final, Bayern Munich appeared, that is to say, Bayern Munich will perform very well in this year's Champions League, although it has its own butterfly effect, but he still doesn't want to meet such an opponent.

Manchester city?

Don't look at Manchester City's results, just look at Manchester City's stars.

Manchester City's squad is so gorgeous, such a team can really happen anything, play badly or lose to a small club, play well can make the giants powerless.

Such two opponents......

Until he returned to Madrid, Wan Sheng was still thinking about the Champions League grouping, and Napoli, who was the last to enter Group A, did not seem to matter. Wan Sheng scolded Powell, who represented the draw in Group A, half to death, and then simply smiled and shook his head, feeling that he was really troubled - when he learned that the team was in the third tier, he was actually ready to be placed in the group of death, the opponent was not Bayern, maybe it was Manchester United, not Manchester City, maybe it was Lyon, in short, no matter which team it was, it was not easy to deal with.

The most important thing is that the team has to perform well.

As long as you work hard and take every game seriously, no matter who the group opponent is, Atletico Madrid will be the team that will qualify.

Wansheng firmly believes!
