At the draw in the evening, eight seeded teams were the first to be seated, with perennial winners Lazio being seeded in Group E.

The other seven groups are seeded Bayern Munich in Group A, Manchester United in Group B, AC Milan in Group C, Chelsea in Group D, Barcelona in Group F, Sevilla in Group G and Arsenal in Group H.

This is followed by the grouping of the second-tier teams. Real Madrid, the strongest team in the second tier, were drawn from Group C where they met Serie A giants AC Milan. Inter Milan, the second-strongest team in the second tier, were drawn from Group F to defending champions Barcelona. Another team that is in the spotlight is Juventus, who are in a group with Bayern Munich.

Since then, the draws for the teams in Pot 3 and Pot 4 have not been shocking, and there has been no group of death in the absolute sense.

Lazio's were placed in a group with Lyon, Liverpool and Debretsen.

Debreceń is a team in the Hungarian league.

The strength of this group is not strong, Liverpool has been in decline for many years, and Lyon is no longer Lyon when they won seven consecutive league titles. Debretzen had never even heard of it.

With such a group, it is very easy for Lazio to qualify from it.

In fact, since Lazio played in the Champions League, they have not had much trouble in the group stage, and they have always been able to qualify comfortably as group winners.

So for Lazio fans and the media, whether Lazio can advance from the group stage is not a suspense at all.

They are more concerned about how far Lazio can go in the knockout stages.

After the draw ceremony, Chang Sheng told reporters: "The goal of the new season? Of course, I hope to go further than last season. ”

Lazio reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last season and went further than last season......

Isn't that the final?

Lazio is about to hit the Champions League final in the new season!

The journalists were a little excited.

I wanted to ask Chang Sheng some questions again, but Chang Sheng had already waved his hand and left.

Compared to him. Pep Guardiola remains the most popular in the media.

On the one hand, they are the defending champions, and on the other hand, it is naturally because of the feud between Barcelona and Mourinho.

These two teams are together, and it's a real gimmick.

Some even believe that this is deliberate on the part of UEFA.

It's a gimmick.

※※※

After the draw ceremony, the first round of the new season began.

This time. August isn't over yet, but there's no longer any belief that any players will leave Lazio.

Lazio are in a good situation right now, the salary is reasonable, the most important thing is to win honors, and there are really not many players who are willing to leave.

In the first round of the league, Lazio hosted Atalanta.

Everyone is looking forward to this big win to get off to a good start.

But the result of this game was 0:0. Not to mention a big win, Lazio didn't even win!

For Lazio, who is often in charge, it is the first time that there is no such thing as winning in the first round of the league!

In the previous four seasons, Lazio had won the first round of the league, both home and away.

And this time it didn't win!

It's really ...... If that doesn’t beat all!

After the first round. Not only the Roman media, but the entire Italian media were taken aback.

Lazio are the defending champions and remain favourites to win the league title this season. Moreover, Lazio did not sell a player in the new season, but also brought in two midfielders, so it can be said that their strength has not risen but declined.

In the first round against an opponent like Atalanta, who is not strong, there should be no problem in winning at home, and the only suspense is to win a few.

Who would have thought that Lazio would be drawn 0:0 at home by Atalan**!

Draw. And not a single goal!

For Lazio, who have excellent attacking power, such a result is too rare.

After the game, many media paid attention to the result of Lazio's draw, and those media who have always been unaccustomed to winning will naturally take the opportunity to ridicule and then take the opportunity to sing Lazio's praise.

There was also an inquiry into why Lazio could not win this game.

Unlike the fuss of the media, Chang Sheng himself seems very calm.

"Before, when we lost a game, everybody was watching. Now when we're just drawing a game, the media is already paying so much attention. What does this mean? Illustrate how strong we are. What team can get so much attention and make so many idiots gloat with just a draw? It's just us. ”

At the post-match press conference, Chang Sheng said calmly.

Of course, if the media were going to hack him. There's always something to be said for.

The media said that Chang Sheng's calm face was pretended, because he was unwilling to expose his weaknesses, or that he was a dead duck with a hard mouth, and did not want to affect morale.

But in fact, Chang Sheng is really calm.

Not to mention a draw, even a defeat. He'll be calm, too.

Uncalm is because after encountering such an unpleasant situation, you don't know what the reason is, so you can't be calm, and you will be more anxious.

Or there may be a possibility that you know the cause, but you don't know how to fix it.

The current situation in Lazio does not fall into either of these categories.

There are many reasons why Lazio was not able to win in the first round, such as the first round of the new league season, the players' form is not very stable, some are good, some are bad.

The whole team is in an unstable state, coupled with the offensive core of this game, David. Silva didn't play well and it wasn't unthinkable that he didn't win against Atalanta.

The problems with the form of the players are all minor problems, and this can be adjusted.

The key is David. Silva.

There are quite a few media outlets that have also mentioned David. Silva's poor form in this game.

The game David. Silva started the game and was very optimistic about his start before the game.

Also believe in David. After Silva's return, he can help Lazio win the game better, after all, he is the core of Lazio's attack.

In the final rounds of last season's league, David. Silva actually returned, but at the time he was on the bench. There is also very little playing time, and everyone knows that this is to let him find his game form, after all, he hasn't played for most of the season, and he needs to find his form after returning from injury.

So actually the last few rounds of last season. David. Silva is not in good form either, but no one has criticised David. Silva, because everybody knows he's looking for form, it's normal to be out of shape, and if you're good, you don't need to look for form.

But after a summer of intensive training, there are warm-up games to adapt. David. If Silva still needs to find form, that's not right.

Therefore, before this league game, everyone is looking forward to Silva.

He didn't play in the Super Cup with Inter Milan, not even a substitute, so the first round of the league became his first official game of the new season. Everybody wants to see what David is like after a summer of recovery. Whether Silva has found his form.

The results were disappointing.

The game David. Silva's performance was described as "sleepwalking". It's a little bit insufficient.

He didn't take the ball less in the game, he didn't have a successful breakthrough, so he couldn't say that he didn't work hard, he also wanted to work hard, and he just couldn't get by.

His previous sharp explosiveness and breakthrough were gone, as if he had been hit by some kind of magic, and they all disappeared overnight!

At the time of the warm-up match. The problem is not too obvious yet. In the official league, when he faced Atalanta's tight defense, his breakthrough was gone after he was given less space.

Some balls, if it were him before the injury, he might have accelerated and changed direction again, and he would have shook the opponent over.

But now, he accelerated, but did not break through his opponent. The change of direction also failed to shake off the other party.

In the end, he had no choice but to pass the football back.

There were also times when he thought he could get past the other side, but in the end he gave the football to the other side.

Such a scene does not appear once or twice in this game, but often.

As long as David. Silva takes the ball. He also played according to his previous playing habits, and he ended up with both results.

In the end, until the end of the game, he did not have any good performances, and after the game, he was bombarded by the media, believing that he should be mainly responsible for the team's draw.

The influence of the media is very great, and after such a hype by them, everyone thinks that it is David. Silva led Lazio to fail to win against Atalanta in this game.

Whether this is true or not, at least everyone believes what the media says.

This pair of David. Silva could be a big influence.

※※※

Lazio did not win the game and were very calm in their success.

But the media bombarded David so much. Silva, who is always winning, can't keep his composure.

He can withstand the criticism of the media, but his players cannot.

He's going to tie up for his players.

At the same time, he has to deal with David. Silva's problem.

That's not to say that he has repeatedly expressed his trust in David in front of the media. Silva, you can solve the problem.

At this time, the mouth cannon will not work.

But fortunately, Chang Sheng, as a traverser, happens to know how to deal with David. Silva's problem.

Because in that time and space that he is very familiar with, David. Silva had almost the same problems as he does now.

He has also been injured in the past.

But that didn't make David. Silva has fallen, but has achieved even greater glory.

He went on to become a key player in the Spanish national team and Manchester City.

How did he get out?

Maybe David. Silva himself can come out of it, but since there is Chang Sheng, there is no need to let his disciples take a detour, and if they can take a shortcut to success, then take a shortcut.

The road is full of thorns, just walk on your own.
