The opening game is never easy to play.

Everyone has been on vacation for a month or two, and no one knows what the opponent's condition will be.

It can be said that it is a complete encounter.

Especially since this match is still a derby for Malaga – a derby from the Andalusian region.

The relationship between the fans in Malaga and Sevilla is not harmonious, and there are frequent clashes between the two sides.

After all, it is a team in the same region, and if you don't look up and see you down, the relationship can't be any better.

As the time of the La Liga match approaches.

Málaga are also starting to prepare for the opening match of the first round of La Liga.

For Málaga though.

Before the official start of La Liga.

One more thing to keep an eye on is their Champions League group stage draw.

On August 27, Monaco at 17:45 local time.

The draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage and the UEFA European Player of the Year (New European Ballon d'Or) award ceremony took place at the Grimaldi Convention Centre in Monte Carlo.

It was the end of the day's training session for the whole team in Malaga.

So when the training was over and everyone returned to the locker room, everyone simply watched the draw live together.

In fact, there are still a lot of players with Champions League experience in the Malaga team.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, Joaquín, Cazorla, Tulalang, Demichelis and others all have Champions League experience, and they are quite experienced.

Before the group draw, the 32 teams participating in the Champions League were divided according to European points.

As a new European army, Malaga naturally did not have European points and was placed in fourth gear.

As for the other three teams in La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona are in the first pot and Valencia are in the second pot.

In line with the principle of avoiding groups in the same league, Málaga could basically face a more difficult group to play.

The players in Málaga are mentally prepared for this – no way, as the team in Pot 4 is not picky, they will definitely face teams in Pot 1 and Pot 2, both of which are not to be underestimated.

Needless to say, the first gear.

Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea. Bayern, Arsenal, Porto, Inter Milan.

With the exception of Porto, they are all giants in the four major leagues.

There are also giants such as Milan and Lyon in the second pot.

From the third pot onwards, most of them are small teams that are not in the four major leagues, but there is also a giant crocodile, Manchester City, a local tyrant from the Premier League.

Count the teams from the four major leagues such as Borussia Dortmund, Napoli and Malaga in Pot 4.

This season's Champions League group stage is destined to produce one or two absolute groups of death.

"Don't get your hopes up, if Dortmund and Napoli don't make it to the group of death, then nine times out of ten we have to go to the group of death, UEFA can't do anything for the ratings!"

Vanney sat under his cupboard, shaking his head.

These words made many Champions League rookies in Malaga nervous.

"I'd like to be able to play against a strong opponent." Ye Luo said with a smile.

"No, no, no, we have to play against strong opponents and in the knockout round, so let's go to an easy group."

"Yes, yes, at least this season, we have to qualify from the group!"

'The Champions League is not the same as the league.

"God forbid, God forbid"

Just when everyone started talking.

Former German star Breitner started the draw as the host of the final (Allianz Arena in Munich).

The first team to be drawn was the team in Pot 1, and the first to be drawn was Bayern Munich, who were drawn in Group A.

Subsequently, the other teams in Pot 1 were also drawn and placed in Groups A-H.

After completing the draw for the first tranche.

The draw for the second tranche begins.

Breitner flickered around for a long time with a small white ball in second gear that could have met Bayern Munich, then pulled out a white ball, opened it and unfolded it.

"AC Milan!"

When the words "AC Milan" appear on the TV screen.

In the dressing room of the Malaga training base, the players exclaimed.

They're starting to smell the group of death

Bayern, Milan.

Who will be the unlucky guy in the third gear?

With this expectation.

No one cares much about the next draw.

Finally, the teams in Pot 2 have all been drawn.

The third pot of Group A is about to be drawn!

Everyone held their breath.

As Breitner unfolded the names of the teams he had drawn.

The players gasped.

"Manchester City!"

Bayern, Milan, Manchester City!

These three teams were drawn in Group A.

"Damn, UEFA real dogs, this group is so interesting!"

"Okay, Group A is the Super Death Group."

While everyone was talking, all the teams in Pot 3 were drawn.

"Okay, let's see who the unlucky guy who falls to Group A in fourth gear is." Isco laughed.

"It can't be us, can it?" Ye Luo said with some expectation.

"How is this possible, a 1 in 8 probability, where is the slot!" Isco was dumbfounded.

Before the host on the TV screen could name the team Breitner had drawn, the temperature in the locker room dropped to freezing in an instant.

Everyone looked at Ye Luo.

Ye Luo smiled awkwardly: "This. I didn't expect that either. ”

He really didn't expect it.

eighth

Well, a 1 in 7 probability, to be exact.

Because Dortmund could not be in the same group as Bayern Munich, Dortmund was excluded from the draw.

Choose one out of seven.

One handful of Malaga selected.

What bad luck that must be.

Everyone fell silent.

finally entered the Champions League, and actually drew a group with Bayern, Milan, and Manchester City.

This is so bad luck that you can buy lottery tickets.

"It's not a big deal, we've all won against Real Madrid and Barcelona, and it's not surprising to win Bayern."

Yelo tries to encourage his teammates.

But this grouping is indeed a bit too for Malaga. Bad luck.

"! What grouping? ”

"UEFA Nima is not human!"

"This group of deaths is too dead."

",,."

"It's over"

"The three British battles belong to Lu Bu."

On the Internet of Dragon Kingdom, the lottery results caused heated discussions as soon as they came out.

Major online media have reported on it.

【Group of Death!】 Bayern Milan, Manchester City, Malaga make a super group of death! 】

[Ye Luo's first Champions League season, encountering a super group of death! ] 】

What is the probability of a breakout in Malaga? Degree of death in Group A]

All of a sudden.

The various headlines made fans who were still looking forward to Yelo's Champions League this season a little anxious.

But there are also optimists.

"The group of death is the group of death, the first Champions League season, first accumulate experience."

"Anyway, I don't expect Malaga to go far in the Champions League, which generally belongs to the big teams."

"It's good if these three opponents can win two games."

"How can it be that there are only two games, Malaga even Barcelona and Real Madrid have won."

"It's different, the Champions League is different."

This draw grouping also made the entire Spanish media sympathize with Málaga's plight.

UEFA has a tradition of "making" groups of death, and this time Málaga can only consider themselves unlucky. ”

UEFA President Michel Platini has always lacked a good impression of clubs like Manchester City and Malaga that have received large investments from Middle Eastern stone conglomerates, and last season's Manchester City also fell into the group of death, this season, Manchester City and Malaga met in the same group, their opponents are Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Champions League seven-time winners AC Milan, these two local giants want to break through this group is too difficult."

This is the first article published by [Marca] in its own online media.

The Champions League draw is a mess.

This is almost the consensus of most media and fans.

Every year, the media zooms in on the picture of the guest draw.

There are also people who think that the Champions League group grouping is not drawn at all, but has been decided a long time ago.

Others think that the ball has been made on it, such as the ball to be drawn out has been heated.

in a word

No one thinks that UEFA is completely fair, open and impartial in drawing teams from each group at random.

There must be the likes and dislikes of the UEFA hierarchy, the consideration of news traffic, the consideration of ratings, and so on.

In Europe.

The football industry is the most extensive industrial chain in the sports industry, involving the largest amount of money and the most complex interests of all parties.

It is easy to understand that a catfish like Malaga, which has received foreign capital injections and has an impact on the traditional interest pattern, is not welcomed by the upper echelons of UEFA.

Compared to Malaga.

The draws for the other three La Liga teams are much more normal.

Real Madrid's Group D includes Real Madrid, Lyon, Ajax and Dinamo Zagreb.

Valencia have been drawn to Group E, which includes Chelsea, Valencia, Bayer Leverkusen and Genkke.

Barcelona is in Group H, which includes Barcelona, Marseille, Borisov Bart and Viktoria Plzen.

The next day.

When Yelo rode his bike to training.

The gates of the training base in Malaga are already crowded with journalists.

Ye Luo was also inevitably "surrounded" before entering the base

"Malaga has entered the group of death, what do you think about that?"

"Are you confident that the group will break through?"

"Are Malaga ready to face the Group of Death?"

The reporters threw out one question after another.

Ye Luo smiled at the reporter and said, "We will play every game!" ”

He didn't say anything like "we're definitely going to make it out of the group."

Instead, after saying a cliché to deal with the media, he pushed away the dense recording equipment in front of him and entered the training base.

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

Ye Luo, who arrived at the training base, got another piece of news.

Thanks to Atletico Madrid's main goalkeeper David. David De Gea was snatched away by Manchester United.

They are now urgently recalling goalkeeper Asenjo, who is on loan at Malaga.

Originally, Malaga was talking to Atletico Madrid about buying out Asenjo.

The result is like this.

The team will have to look for a quality goalkeeper in the transfer market.

Asenjo actually wants to stay in Malaga for the rest of the season, because there is a Champions League to play in Málaga this season and many players are eager to play in the Champions League.

Whether or not you are eligible to play in the Champions League is actually an important reference for many players to choose their next home.

But there is no way, the lease contract between the two parties has a recall clause. For Asenjo, the pull between Malaga and Atletico Madrid will at most allow him to participate in the next game against Sevilla, and he is expected to be recalled by Atletico Madrid.

Champions League into the Super Group of Death.

The main goalkeeper may have to be recalled by the parent club before the start of the season.

Before the start of the opening match of the first round of La Liga.

These bad things that happened to Malaga cast a shadow over their first round of the league.

It's the last day of the month.,I found that there is still a little distance from the 1,000-month pass.,And today it's still a double monthly pass.,Cheeky to ask for a ticket here. In the past few days, I have returned to my hometown, and people come and go, so I can only code words at night.
