Chapter 19: Mourinho's complaints
After Guardiola saw this result, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, although the range of action was not large, but it was still captured by the camera.
The people from the clubs who came to the scene to participate in the lottery ceremony also showed a knowing smile after seeing the results.
UEFA will still play!
I actually came up with such an interesting grouping.
However, this signing is not a bad sign for Bayern and Manchester City.
The second team in Group D is CSKA Moscow in the Russian Premier League, which is not very strong.
The only thing to worry about is that winter in Russia comes very early, and in October it is already freezing and freezing.
In this case, European teams are going to play away from them in the winter, and it will be very sour.
But if you're lucky enough to play away to CSKA Moscow before October, you won't have that problem.
The draw continued, with Owen then drawing Basel from Group E, Borussia Dortmund from Group F, Zenit from Group G and Ajax from Group H.
The fourth star in the draw was former Borussia Dortmund star Sousa, who quickly completed the draw to draw the teams in Pot 4 into the various groups.
The final draw for the Champions League group stage were:
Group A: Manchester United (Premier League) Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukrainian Super League) Bayer Leverkusen (Bundesliga) Real Sociedad (La Liga)
Group B: Real Madrid (La Liga), Juventus (Serie A), Galatasaray (Turkish Super League), Copenhagen (Danish Super League)
Group C: Benfica (Portuguese Super League), Paris Saint-Germain (Ligue 1), Olympiacos (Greek Super League), Anderlecht (Belgian League)
Group D: Bayern Munich (Bundesliga) CSKA Moscow (Russian Premier League) Manchester City (Premier League) Plzen Victory (Czech League)
Group E: Chelsea (Premier League) Werder Bremen (Bundesliga) Basel (Swiss Super League) Bucharest Stars (Romanga)
Group F: Arsenal (Premier League), Marseille (Ligue 1), Borussia Dortmund (Bundesliga), Napoli (Serie A)
Group G: Porto (Portuguese Super League), Atletico Madrid (La Liga), Zenit (Russian Premier League), Austria Vienna (Austrian Serga)
Group H: Barcelona (La Liga), AC Milan (Serie A), Ajax (Eredivisie), Celtic (Super League)
After the draw ceremony, the group of deaths was clear at a glance, which was Arsenal's Group F and Barcelona's Group H.
With the exception of the teams that were drawn into these two groups, the other teams were relatively happy with their groupings.
Of the four Premier League teams, except for Arsenal, who have the worst signings, the other three teams have signed quite well.
United's three group opponents are one notch weaker than them, and if it were United in the Ferguson era, it would have been very easy to qualify from the group.
But Moyes's words are not easy to say, he has no previous Champions League experience, and his lack of experience is his biggest problem.
Chelsea's signings are the best of the four, with the exception of Werder Bremen, who may be able to cause them a little bit of a problem, are no threat at all.
As long as Mourinho himself does not drop the chain, there is no suspense for Chelsea to qualify.
After the draw for the Champions League group stage, the media from all over the world reported on the matter.
The Italian media sighed and felt that AC Milan was too unlucky.
This is the fourth time they have met Barcelona in the Champions League for the third season in a row, and it is almost like a bad fate between the two teams, but it is always AC Milan who suffers.
In the 2011-2012 season, Barcelona and AC Milan were also placed in Group H, with AC Milan losing and drawing one against Barcelona.
finally broke into the quarterfinals, but met Barcelona again in the quarterfinals, and it was another draw and one loss, and AC Milan was carried away by Barcelona.
Last season, Barcelona and AC Milan met in the round of 16, AC Milan finally won 2:0 at home, I thought I could turn over the serf and sing this time, but I didn't expect to be bloodied by Barcelona 4:0 at Camp Nou.
Now that I have met Barcelona for the fourth time, AC Milan fans are almost scolding their mothers in their hearts!
Why do you always think we're bullies, right?
But the fans of the Gunners feel that the most unlucky thing about riding the horse is our Nana, is it good?
As the only team among the eight seeded teams that has not won the Champions League, it is a bit distressing to put them together with the other seven.
As a result, such a lottery was drawn?
Let's take a look at who Arsenal's opponents are: last year's Champions League runners-up Borussia Dortmund, Ligue 1 runners-up Marseille and Serie A runners-up Napoli.
Arsenal are seeded in the first tier, but they are the lowest in the league after all, they only finished fourth in the Premier League last season......
After the game, reporters interviewed Wenger, and Wenger said strongly and calmly:
"I have confidence in my team that we will definitely make it out of the group!"
Arsene Wenger has the confidence to say that, and since he took charge, Arsenal have always been able to secure their Champions League places and have always made it out of the group stage.
Although the group opponents are a little stronger this time, Arsenal are not weaker than their opponents.
As long as they can win at home, the initiative to qualify will be in their own hands.
But the British media don't think much of it, they think that with Arsenal's current team, there is a high probability that the third-line battle will collapse, so they urge the professor to pay for it quickly.
If the team falls in the group stage because of the reluctance to spend money, the loss of Arsenal's interests will be great.
It's just that after buying the dog, whether the professor still has money in his hands and how much money he has, this is a mystery.
Anyway, Arsenal is running with debt, and it is nothing new to make a living by selling the captain.
It was the first time that a professor could pay tens of millions of pounds to buy a dog.
Let him continue to pay for it, that is to embarrass the professor.
On the La Liga side, both Real Madrid and Barcelona are more satisfied with this result.
Barcelona core Messi said in an interview that no Champions League game is easy to play, no matter what group he is divided into, what opponent he encounters, he will do his best to play every game.
Although he said that, the reporter found that unlike the frowning when he just appeared, the Meiqiu King's brows are now relaxed, which proves that he is very satisfied with this signing in his heart.
On Real Madrid's side, the newspapers Ace and Marca focused on the meeting between Real Madrid and Juventus.
The two teams have met in the Champions League on several occasions, with the 1998 Champions League final most memorable to the Real Madridians.
That year, Real Madrid finally defeated Juventus and won the championship trophy for the first time in 32 years.
And now, he has not won the Champions League for more than ten years, and when he meets Juventus, an old rival, Real Madrid hopes to transfer by defeating the opponent.
However, Real Madrid is not necessarily able to defeat Juventus, and after the beginning of the new century, Real Madrid and Juventus' encounters ended in Juventus' victory.
So this encounter, for Real Madrid, is a battle of revenge.
In addition to this, Real Madrid's head coach Carlo Ancelotti and assistant coach Zinedine Zidane have both played for Juventus.
And the original work experience at Juventus was not friendly for the two, Ancelotti was too fat and was once abused by Juventus fans as a pig.
When Zidane joined Juventus, he was also questioned by Juventus fans because it was difficult to integrate into Serie A.
This time, the two teams meet, the new and old hatreds are combined, and the stronger Real Madrid may not let go of the old woman easily.
In addition to these death groups and strong matchup gimmicks, Pep Guardiola's Bayern and Lin Quan's Manchester City were grouped together, which also attracted the attention and interviews of many reporters.
Faced with the siege of reporters, Lin Quan said in an interview: "The result of such a lottery is very interesting. ”
With such a cryptic answer, he implied that UEFA had set the script.
And when the reporters heard Lin Quan's words, they all laughed.
The duel between father and son, is it okay to be full of drama directly?
Even if it is really an arranged script, they will not reject such a script!
The German media are mixed, and in their opinion, Bayern's signing is good, and there is no problem in qualifying for the first place in the group.
But Dortmund are in the group of death, and it's hard to say whether they can qualify without Gotze.
As for Bayer Leverkusen and Werder Bremen, whether these two teams can make it out will depend on their own performances.
Comparatively, Werder Bremen's signing may be a little better, because apart from Chelsea, they can't play, and the remaining two opponents will not have a hard time winning.
However, the situation in the group of Bayer Leverkusen is a little more difficult, playing Manchester United, they are about 37 open, and they are likely to lose.
Their main opponents are the other two teams, but the strength of these two teams is between them and them, I am afraid that the fight will be five or five, who can enter the knockout round, it is really difficult to say.
After the draw results were released, the spinach website also announced the odds of winning the Champions League for the first time.
Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich are unsurprisingly the favorites.
Although the meritorious coach Heynckes left, the addition of strong reinforcements such as Pep Guardiola, Götze and Thiago objectively further strengthened Bayern's already luxurious squad.
With Bayern's main framework not changing much, and the players are in their prime, Bayern should be favored by everyone.
Under Bayern, the second odds are Real Madrid.
Last season, Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid was a little bit away from the final, and this season's arrival of Carlo Ancelotti and the addition of Mr. Bale have further strengthened Real Madrid's strength.
There is reason to believe that Real Madrid, whose Champions League record is improving, may be able to get what they want this season and lift their 10th Champions League trophy!
As for Barcelona, the team's squad has aged, and the change of a little-known and weak manager has made the outside world look down on them a little, and their odds are lower than their sworn enemies in the league, ranking third.
After the three super giants of Huang Saren, the odds of the two top Premier League Chelsea and Manchester United are not low, ranking fourth and fifth respectively.
Chelsea have a good squad and won the Champions League two seasons ago.
With Jose Mourinho back this season, they could theoretically be even better and have a good chance of winning the title.
As for Manchester United, although they are in fifth place, they are far from the top four.
Moyes' Champions League journey is not optimistic about the outside world, for the simple reason that Manchester United's focus this season will definitely be on the Premier League, and the Champions League may be strategically abandoned by them.
Surprisingly, Manchester City are in sixth place at odds, ahead of last year's runners-up Borussia Dortmund.
The outside world thinks that Manchester City have the possibility of winning the title, and their squad is not bad at all, all they lack is Champions League experience and how to knead this luxurious squad into shape, so that these stars can fully play their strengths.
Such an assessment is actually quite pertinent, and their analysis of Manchester City's problems is to the point.
It's just that whether or not these problems can be solved depends on Pellegrini's ability to work.
After the draw ceremony, the Champions League group stage schedule was soon out.
Manchester City travel to host Czech First Division champions Plzen Plzen on 18 September.
The first Champions League game was against a modest opponent and was a good opportunity for Manchester City to get off to a good start.
The whole team is gearing up to prepare for this game!
……
After the Champions League draw ceremony, Lin Quan and Guardiola only met briefly, chatted a few words, and hurried back to Manchester by plane.
A day later, the third round of the Premier League began.
Chelsea, who started the game, narrowly beat Aston Villa 2-1 at home.
Aston Villa continued their card-loving habit in this game, picking up five yellow cards throughout the game, five times more than Chelsea.
Chelsea scored just one goal in this game, to two by their opponents.
But it was Chelsea who won as they were gifted an own goal and a big package just seven minutes into the game.
To be honest, if it weren't for Aston Villa's early gift package, they would have won this game.
Chelsea had a terrible performance and didn't look like a big team at all.
They had over 70 per cent possession and had 17 shots on goal, but only three were on target.
The opponents, on the other hand, had half as many shots on goal as them, but had four shots on target, one more than them.
Mourinho's vaunted counter-attacking tactics couldn't be played when the opponent took the lead in setting up the bus.
And the pressing attack is a bit overwhelming for the weak Chelsea!
Chelsea bought a bunch of strikers, but none of them worked.
The only goal they scored in the game was a defender!
This made Mourinho can't help but reach out and cover his face!
Looking at the large group of strikers who couldn't score goals, Mourinho wanted to cry without tears, and they all began to miss the monster Drogba!
But if I have a working striker, why can't I even break the goal of an underdog?
As soon as he thought of this, Mourinho was very angry and very dissatisfied with the work of club manager Emnaro.
If he had brought Lin Quan to Stamford Bridge in the first place, why would Chelsea be so embarrassed and so weak?
Mourinho's complaints proved justified.
In the match between Manchester City and Hull City the next day, Lin Quan was in hot form.
In just 35 minutes of the first half, he had already scored two goals.
Shortly after the start of the second half, he scored his third goal to complete his second hat-trick since joining Manchester City.
In three games, Lin Quan scored 8 goals, and the number of goals scored by one person was more than that of the entire Chelsea team, and twice as much!
He proved Mourinho's vision with his outstanding performances.
At the same time, it also proves that Mansour did not lose money at all.
If the other teams were given another chance, I'm afraid everyone would be scrambling to spend the money!
