Immediately after the Champions League qualifiers, the draw for the 2009-10 UEFA Champions League group stage will be held at the Grimaldi Convention Centre in Monte Carlo, Monaco, where 32 teams will be divided into eight groups. This Champions League is the first after Platini's new policy reform, and the participation of the champions of weak countries seems to have mixed some water into this year's Champions Cup, but after studying the following list of the top 32, it can be found that the first "Platts Champions League" is actually the strongest squad in this event in recent years.

The reason for this is simple: not only did the seemingly dangerous qualifying tournament not eliminate any of the top five league teams, but the teams in each league also represented the highest level in their countries: the Premier League semi-finals once again monopolized the quota without suspense; Ligue 1 has the new champion Bordeaux and the two giants of Marseille and Lyon, which have been rebuilt with a lot of money; The Bundesliga has both the traditional class bully Bayern, the new champion Hoffenheim is also menacing, and although Wolfsburg is not favored, the overall strength is also on the top in the Bundesliga; La Liga Real Madrid Barcelona needless to mention, while Sevilla has a good European record, and Atletico Madrid has the European Golden Boot Forlan and Aguero, two superstars, who represent La Liga in the Champions Cup, are more promising than the "yellow submarine" after Pellegrini left and Valencia, which is struggling to protect itself.

And the biggest factor that guarantees the gold content of this year's Champions League comes from Serie A: this season is the first time that the top three in the north of Serie A have collectively entered the Champions Cup after the "phone gate" incident! In the past three seasons, except for Inter Milan, who have been able to secure a place in the Champions League for consecutive years by relying on monopoly titles, AC Milan and Juventus have briefly said goodbye to the Champions League due to league missteps and relegation respectively, and the two giants are still suffering the serious consequences of missing the Champions League. Last season, the three giants finished in the top three of the league. In addition, the third place in the three major European leagues does not need to participate in the qualifying tournament. The top three in the north were finally able to attack collectively in the Champions League.

The other leagues have largely maintained their old faces; Porto, CSKA Moscow, Dynamo Kyiv, Glasgow Rangers, Besiktas are distributed with 2nd and 3rd gears. Many of these teams have "devil's home stadiums", which basically guarantees the suspense of some matches in the group stage. The "parallel goods" that have been repeatedly discussed by the media before are nothing more than the champions of weak countries such as Apollo in Cyprus, Debrecen in Hungary, and Uniria in Romania, but since they can emerge in their own country, they may also have some strength.

Eight seeded teams were first seated in the draw, and their groups were: Bayern Munich in Group A, Manchester United in Group B, AC Milan in Group C, Chelsea in Group D, Liverpool in Group E, Barcelona in Group F, Sevilla in Group G and Arsenal in Group H.

Xiao Qing felt that there was no pressure, and even Anna, who was sitting next to him, was drinking drinks very leisurely at this time, the first-grade team couldn't explain anything at all, and the next thing was the key.

"Shaw. What kind of team do you want to meet? Maybe Hoffenheim, we always have surprises in our Champions League. Anna was in a very good mood, although Xiao Qing had an affair with the hateful Pixie after she came to England, but Anna also knew that it was just a scandal.

'I don't care who our opponents are because I know the quality of our team. We can beat them and I've always believed that the draw doesn't say anything, because the victory of the match and the championship of Zuihou are based on the game by game, not just by the draw. Although he said that, Xiao Qing was just hard-mouthed, and seeing Xiao Qing looking at the next draw with some nervousness can explain everything.

Then there is the most eye-catching Pot 2 grouping. Real Madrid have been drawn to Group C, where they will meet Serie A giants AC Milan. Inter Milan were drawn to Group F and will meet defending champions Barcelona; Another team to watch, Juventus, have been drawn to Group A where Bayern Munich are located. Drawn to join Arsenal was AZ Alkmaar, an unknown team.

"AZ Alkmaar?" It's not that Xiao Qing is rare and weird, he really doesn't have any impression of this team.

"Last season's Eredivisie champions." Anna is worthy of being a media, she obviously knows about this team, but she only knows the name, and she doesn't have much impression of the rest.

Xiao Qing felt very happy, it would be great if the team could easily break through in the group stage, because such a relatively easy opponent during the group stage will definitely make Arsenal reduce the pressure in the league to a certain extent; Now it seems that Arsenal's momentum is good, Xiao Qing is naturally a little dissatisfied, hoping that this good luck can continue. Of course, he also hopes that the other main rivals will draw strong teams at this time, and he hopes that Arsenal's main rivals will meet the so-called group of death, and he hopes that those teams will consume more energy in the group stage early.

However, Xiao Qing may have been a little disappointed, because this time, the draw of the third and fourth pots of the team was not shocking, and there was no group of death in the absolute sense.

Group A: Bayern Munich, Juventus, Bordeaux, Maccabi Haifa (Israel)

Group B: Manchester United, CSKA Moscow, Besiktas (Turkey), Hoffenheim

Group C: AC Milan, Real Madrid, Marseille, Zurich (Switzerland)

Group D: Chelsea, Porto, Atletico Madrid, Atletico Greece (Cyprus)

Group E: Liverpool, Lyon, Fiorentina, Debrezen (Hungary)

Group F: Barcelona, Inter Milan, Dynamo Kyiv (Ukraine), Kazan Ruby (Russia)

Group G: Sevilla, Glasgow Rangers, Wolfsburg, Uniria (Romania)

Group H: Arsenal, AZ Alkmaar, Olympiacos (Greece), Standard Liege (Belgium)

The group stage of the Champions League will begin on 16 September 2009 and the final will be played at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid's home stadium, on 22 May 2010.

However, Xiao Qing was a little hot at the draw ceremony for the group stage, and UEFA announced the best of the 2008/09 Champions League season in Monaco. The Premier League and La Liga split the five awards, with Barcelona becoming the biggest winners. And Xiao Qing can only be a spectator.

Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was named Goalkeeper of the Match, the second time the Dutchman has won the accolade. The award for best defender goes to Chelsea captain John Terry, who has won the accolade for the second season in a row. The award for the best midfielder belongs to the assist king Xavi. The awards for the best striker and the best player all belong to the Golden Boot Messi. In addition to these five awards, UEFA also presented a special award to Milan captain Maldini, who recently retired this summer.

However, although Xiao Qing does not have any chance now, after all, Xiao Qing did not participate in any Champions League games last season; So he can only look at other players on this podium now, but Xiao Qing believes that he will be able to reach the podium soon. Because he believes he has what it takes, and he believes that when he appears in the Champions League, he will be able to go all out and fight for all the glory.

And now Xiao Qing also has a lot of expectations, although the current Shijie Footballer or Golden Ball Award may still be far away from Xiao Qing, but with last season's Bundesliga championship and won the league Golden Boot and European Golden Boot, Xiao Qing believes that in fact, he may still have a certain degree of competitiveness in this year's award selection.

Although the gold content of the Bundesliga championship may not be particularly sufficient, the gimmick of winning the championship of the promoted horse makes Xiao Qing have such a proud capital; As for personal honors, the highest goal record in the Bundesliga in the past 30 years can tell the story, which is quite a terrifying goal efficiency, and Xiao Qing also won the European Golden Boot, and Xiao Qing is not lacking in personal honors.

The draw for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League 09/10 season has been officially announced. After the matchup of the 32 participating teams was announced, in addition to Group G, which is the most average and each team is slightly weaker, Group A with Bayern and Juventus, Group C where Milan and Real Madrid are located, and Group F where Inter Milan meets Barcelona will undoubtedly have some of the characteristics of the Group of Death, because in addition to these six teams, there is also a team with the ability to disrupt the game in the group to which they belong, and the strength of these six teams is needless to say. So these are the three groups that seem to many people to have a little bit of the meaning of the group of death.

However, when these teams have a headache, Arsenal fans can open champagne to celebrate in advance, which is not to say that the three opponents in the group stage are not worthy of Arsenal's attention, but realistically speaking, no matter what happens, Wenger's team has no reason to worry about qualifying from the group, and it is no exaggeration to say that the only suspense for Arsenal in the group stage is: whether they can win all six games and advance strongly.

AZ Alkmaar, Olympiacos, Standard Liège; Looking at Arsenal's three opponents in the group stage, perhaps the only thing that will cause Wenger some headaches is the Greek giants Olympiacos, because Greek teams can often burst into super fighting power at home. As in the case of Olympiacos, Arsenal have not faced AZ Alkmaar in official matches in history, and it should be pointed out that although AZ Alkmaar was the Eredivisie champion last season, the meritorious coach Luis van Gaal, who led the team to win the championship, is now coaching at Bayern. Neither Pot 2 nor Pot 3 pose a threat to Arsenal from a card or historical point of view, so the standard Liege in Pot 4 is no less to worry about

So now it is no exaggeration to say that Arsenal is really happy for such a draw, they seem to have good luck at the beginning of the new season, with such a draw and grouping, for Arsenal the advantage is not small. (To be continued......)
