Chapter 183 Champions League draw, UEFA conspiracy!
At 8:29 on the evening of August 17th, Monte Carlo in Monaco was ablaze with lights.
Countless stars and coaches gathered together to participate in the annual UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony.
The scene was covered with a red carpet, and countless reporters gathered on both sides of the red carpet. All kinds of guns and short cannons were aimed at the stars and famous coaches of the major clubs who got off the expensive luxury cars.
The leading stars of the two giants of the Western Super League, Ronaldo and Messi, are still the most sought after objects by reporters.
And the Welsh player Gareth Bale, who created a world-record transfer sensation in the summer, was also besieged by many reporters because of the high topicality and high transfer fee.
Some careful reporters noticed that Ronaldo did not come with Bell. Although the two belonged to the same club, they had no communication at all during the red carpet.
It seems that the rumors from the outside world are true. Maybe Bell's transfer fee really broke the Portuguese transfer fee record, which made Ronaldo very unhappy.
When Messi, the other one of the Peerless Twins, appeared on the stage, he also had a very serious expression on his face.
Barcelona's record in recent years has not been good, and the team has fallen to the semi-finals twice in a row.
He was even eliminated by Bayern Munich's humiliating 7:0 bloodbath last season!
This made Barcelona suffocate from top to bottom, wanting to avenge their opponents.
This season, they bought Neymar early, and the team is gearing up and preparing to do a lot.
As a result, Vilanova was unable to continue coaching the team due to a recurrence of cancer. Barcelona experienced a coaching change in the summer.
Due to Guardiola, Enrique and others leaving one after another, Barcelona has no suitable candidates.
Russell finally chose the obedient Martino as Barcelona's coach.
Martino's ability is mediocre, and the outside world is very unfavorable to him.
Everyone knows that this person is a transitional coach, otherwise, Barcelona would not only give him a short contract of 2 years.
Under the superimposition of multiple factors, this season's Champions League game has not yet started, and the outside world has already appeared the voice of bad-mouthing Barcelona.
As the core and top card of Barcelona, most of the pressure from the outside world fell on Messi's shoulders, and Messi naturally couldn't laugh.
"Messi is under a lot of pressure!"
When Lin Quan arrived at the scene, he just saw the back of Messi entering the field.
Pellegrini, who coached in La Liga last season, said with emotion.
Lin Quan nodded. As the core of the team, they must bear greater responsibilities than other players.
Seeing the people from Manchester City coming, the reporters at the scene rushed up one after another, and all kinds of long guns and short cannons aimed at Lin Quan.
At the Golden Globe Awards last year, he was just a little-known supporting role.
But this year, with the continuous improvement of his fame and strength, his status in European football has also improved a lot.
More and more people regard Lin Quan as the third person besides Melo.
And as long as he can further perform in major competitions like the World Cup or the Champions League, it is not impossible to be side by side with Melo in the future.
For such a supernova, reporters naturally dare not neglect.
After having the experience of the past year, Lin Quan is no longer so unfamiliar with dealing with this kind of scene.
He smiled and waved to the reporters and fans at the scene, met the requirements of some fans for autographs and group photos, and then walked into the venue with a calm pace.
Entering the venue, Lin Quan saw several familiar faces.
"Hey, here!"
Dortmund player Royce waved to him when he saw Lin Quan coming in.
Lin Quan took a look, and there were no names on these seats, which means that players can choose their own seats.
According to his coffee position, his seat must be near the front row, if not the first row, then the second row.
And Royce's position is in the fifth row, which can be said to be a very rear position.
Sitting in the back, the exposure shots of the scene are hard to find them.
However, Lin Quan didn't care much about these, and he didn't care about the order of ranking seniority, and sat directly beside Isco.
"You came alone?"
Lin Quan looked around but didn't see Royce's teammates, so he asked curiously.
"Lewand is injured, I'm here in his place!"
Royce explained a sentence, and then asked: "How is it, is the Premier League fun?"
Royce looked Lin Quan up and down, as if checking whether he was missing any arms or legs.
"It's okay, but the defenders over there are too enthusiastic, and I often have intimate interactions with them!"
"Haha, is it the kind of interaction where people turn their backs on their backs?"
Royce gloated that although he had never played in the Premier League, he had heard about the style of play in the Premier League.
"Don't you know if you try it?"
Royce raised his hands in a gesture of surrender:
"Come on, please forgive me. I have a physique like a glass man. Isn't it courting death if I go to the Premier League?"
This kid is quite self-aware. If he really came to the Premier League, with the intensity of fouls committed by Premier League defenders, the frequency of Royce's injuries may increase greatly.
"You are still injured this season? Can't you discuss with your coach to reduce the playing time? According to his tactics, unless you are Super Saiyan, otherwise, you will definitely not be able to stand it!"
"Cough cough!"
Just as Lin Quan finished speaking, he heard a middle-aged man coughing from the side.
He turned his head and found that Dortmund's coach Klopp did not know when he was sitting next to him.
Lin Quan glared at Royce. This guy definitely saw Klopp coming, but he didn't tell himself.
Royce was overjoyed, looking as if his trick had succeeded.
"Lin, you seem to have a problem with me?"
Klopp asked Lin Quan curiously.
"No, no, I admire you, coach Klopp, and the achievements you have achieved in leading the team."
"Really? But I just heard you criticize my tactics, Marco, didn't I?"
Royce nodded again and again: "Yes, I can testify that it is this kid who speaks ill of him!"
Royce sold Lin Quan decisively!
Lin Quan's face turned black, Royce is too despicable, he actually sow discord!
You have to clean him up later!
"Ahem, I didn't mean that, coach, listen to my explanation!"
Lin Quan didn't want to have a conflict with Klopp, and he didn't communicate with the other party, so he didn't want to offend others.
"Well, I'm listening!"
Klopp said, I really want to see if your kid can speak out.
"High pressing is the future of football and it will replace many of the current defensive tactics."
Klopp's eyes lit up, and he felt like meeting a confidant.
I didn't expect this kid to have such a deep understanding of the development of modern football at such a young age.
There was some expectation in his heart, so he said, "Continue talking!"
"Like pass football in Spain, the high press was born out of the Dutch Total Attack and Total Defense tactic.
The purpose of our high-pressure press is to compress the time for the opposing player to handle the ball.
Let them have to make a decision quickly, in this way, the opponent's turnover rate can be increased, and we can have the opportunity to grab the ball in the opponent's half and complete the attack.
The closer you are to the opponent's goal, the easier it is to complete the attack.
I observed Dortmund's game, and many goals were scored after the opponent's half-court counterattack was successful. "
Klopp nodded again and again, with a satisfied smile on his face, this kid really saw through his tactics.
The Dortmund players pressed like mad dogs in order to force the opposing players to make forced errors and launch an attack on the spot.
If they organize an attack from their own backcourt, they need to penetrate the opponent's three lines of defense.
But if they can force turnovers and get the ball in the opposition half or even near the penalty area.
Then they only have to face the opponent's line of defense, and the ball is still in the hands of the opponent one second before, and the ball falls into Dortmund's hands the next second.
This rapid offensive and defensive transition will make it difficult for the opponent's players to respond in a timely manner.
This greatly increases the success rate of their attacks.
"However, it is very demanding for players, they need to have the following characteristics:
Good technology, good physical fitness, impact, and strong execution!
If it was just a bunch of engineers on the field, they might be able to get the ball, but their offense is difficult to organize.
If the players on the field do not have speed and impact, the opponent's position will be very fast, and even if there is only one line of defense, it will be difficult for them to penetrate.
If the players have insufficient physical strength or insufficient tactical execution, they cannot even complete the task of pressing in high positions.
Royce is a player who perfectly fits these requirements, so in your tactics, Royce may have a more prominent position than Lewandowski.
This also led to Royce's high attendance rate, but he is a glass man, the higher the attendance rate, the worse the injury, and the worse the final result may be. "
Royce protested against Lin Quan's statement that he was a glass man, but was ignored by the two.
Regarding Lin Quan's words, Klopp thought seriously.
The departure of Gotze this season has made things worse for Dortmund, which directly led to increased offensive pressure on Lewandowski and Royce.
The responsibilities of the two of them are already a lot, and further increasing the burden on the two of them is indeed not friendly to the two of them.
Since Royce joined the team, he has been injured constantly, and there is indeed a tendency to become a glass man.
If such a high-load operation continues, the team may really be destroyed by injuries.
Thinking of this, Klopp nodded: "I will seriously consider your suggestion, thank you, Lin!"
This sentence of thanks is sincere, because no one has ever told him these things from an outsider's objective point of view before.
Lin Quan was the first!
"You're welcome, I'm just talking nonsense, and you are the one who really solves the problem!"
Lin Quan is not self-effacing, he is really just a talker.
Let him replace Klopp to think of a solution to Dortmund's current predicament, he really can't do it.
Guardiola was late and had just entered the venue.
After entering the arena, he hurriedly searched around, and finally found Lin Quan at the back position.
This kid, why are you sitting here?
He was just about to go over to say hello to Lin Quan when he saw Lin Quan and Klopp talking happily.
This made Guardiola stunned for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he didn't choose to go forward to disturb the two of them, and sat in the other row with mixed emotions.
……
After talking with Klopp, the on-site draw ceremony began immediately.
The two hosts responsible for presiding over the draw ceremony are Pedro Pinto, the host of the CNN Sports Channel, and Melanie, the winner of Miss Switzerland in 1996.
Before the official start of the draw ceremony, the host first announced the list of the best players in Europe last season.
Lin Quan, as the Bundesliga Golden Boot, entered the final squad.
But obviously, he was just running with him. If there is no accident, the best player award should be awarded to Bayern Champions League winner Arjen Robben or Franck Ribery.
Sure enough, it was Franck Ribery who won the prize in the end.
Between him and Robben, the judges at the scene chose Ribery.
Although Robben completed self-salvation in the final and scored a crucial goal.
But in the eyes of professionals, Ribery is more important to the team.
After the awards for the best players in Europe were held, the next step was the main event, the draw ceremony for the group stage.
According to the rules of the UEFA Champions League draw, the 32 teams participating in the UEFA Champions League group stage will be divided into four grades.
Among them, the eight teams with the highest points will be the first seeded teams to be drawn first.
Then draw a team from the second pot, third pot, and fourth pot to join each group.
According to the principle of avoidance in the same competition area, if the teams in the same competition area are drawn into the same group, they will automatically be postponed to the next group.
Eight seeded teams were quickly drawn:
The seeded team in Group A is Manchester United, the seeded team in Group B is Real Madrid, the seeded team in Group C is Benfica in the Portuguese Super League, the defending champion Bayern in Group D, Chelsea in Group E, Arsenal in Group F, and Barcelona was drawn into Group H. Porto, another team in the Super League, was assigned to Group G.
Among the eight seeded teams, there are two from La Liga, three from the Premier League, one from the Bundesliga, and two from the Portuguese Super League.
Serie A and Ligue [-] have no seeded teams because of their poor Champions League record.
However, the Portuguese Super League, outside of the five major leagues, has two seeded teams, which is a bit impressive.
Among the eight seeded teams, the strongest are obviously Bayern, Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Especially the defending champion Bayern, it is estimated that no one wants to be in a group with them.
After the teams in the first tier were drawn, the legendary Dutch star Johan Cruyff came on the stage, and he was responsible for drawing the teams in the second tier.
Shakhtar Donetsk were drawn into Group A, Juventus in Group B, Paris Saint-Germain in Group C, CSKA Moscow in Group D, Werder Bremen in Group E, Marseille in Group F and Marseille in Group H. AC Milan, Group G is Atletico Madrid.
Among them, what surprised Lin Quan was that Werder Bremen was actually classified as a second-tier team.
They have more European points than Manchester City, which makes him very curious:
How bad was Manchester City's previous Champions League!
After the first two rounds of draws, the death team has emerged.
That is Group B and Group H, Real Madrid plus Juventus, Barcelona plus AC Milan.
Whoever joins these two groups as a third party will probably have a hard time qualifying.
Coincidentally, there are no Premier League teams in these two groups. According to the principle of avoiding the same group, Manchester City can only go to five groups, and the probability of being drawn into these two groups has reached 40%!
The people in Manchester City have already started to worry a little bit, wouldn't it be so unlucky to be drawn to these two groups?
The third star to appear was England star Irving, who first drew Leverkusen to Group A.
Then Galatasaray of the Turkish Super League was drawn to Group B.
This result gave Manchester City a sigh of relief. The two death groups lost one, and the probability was halved.
The people of Galatasaray have no fear after seeing this result. What kind of Real Madrid old lady, why should I be afraid of my local super devil at home?
It was the head coaches of Real Madrid and Juventus, after seeing this result, the expressions on their faces became serious.
The team of the Turkish Super League is not considered strong, but it is difficult to play at home in the Turkish Super League. The fans there are extremely crazy. No one knows what will happen.
The draw continued and Olympiacos of the Greek League were drawn into Group C.
Then, Irving drew another team. After he took a look, a smile appeared on his face:
"Manchester City!"
The host quickly put Manchester City's small ball into Group D, and in the same group, the three teams that have appeared are: Bayern Munich, CSKA Moscow, and Manchester City.
The camera at the scene was aimed at Bayern's head coach Pep Guardiola, but it was not aimed at Manchester City's head coach Manuel Pellegrini, but Lin Quan was given a shot.
Mr. Lin Quan heard that the UEFA Champions League group draw was arranged, and he was a little skeptical before.
But now, he really believed it!
There is a father-son duel between Guardiola and Lin Quan. If UEFA did not deliberately create this gimmick, he would not believe it if he was killed!
