Chapter 402 The stage where top teams compete!

This view is opposed.

Although the relative gold content of the Champions League is higher than that of the league (including the Premier League), it does not mean that the gold content of the Premier League championship is not high.

In the past two seasons, Guardiola's team has been almost invincible in the league. They scored an unprecedented 100 points in the 17-18 season and 98 points in the 18-19 season. This is the first and second highest score in the entire Premier League history. The high score also made Liverpool the runner-up with the highest points in the five major leagues. The strength of Manchester City is evident.

In the civil war between the traditional top six, Manchester City also performed very strongly.

Double defeats of Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United, a 6-0 victory over Chelsea, 1 win and 1 draw against Liverpool, 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 10 "minor league" games, and only 5 points lost. This record is excellent enough.

Therefore, for a coach who has created the highest score in the Premier League and set various records, there is no doubt that Manchester City coached by Guardiola is dominant in the league. His championship is not won easily by playing 38 rounds of games.

As for the poor record in the Champions League, I have said before that the Champions League is more difficult and there are many possibilities for accidents. If you win the championship, you will be an absolute strong player. But if you fail to win the championship, it does not mean that you are not good enough, nor does it affect the performance. The gold content of the league itself.

All in all, if you compare the relative gold content, I think the Champions League is greater than the Premier League.

But there is no need to compare Guardiola and Klopp excessively, especially there is no need to criticize one and praise the other. To the fans, both of them are already very great coaches.

The Premier League is only the second league in the world, not as good as La Liga. The Premier League looks fierce, but in fact the top level is not the best in Europe.

Liverpool's rise belies the assumption that the Premier League is not at the top of European football.

The best teams in the world are in La Liga. Barcelona and Real Madrid may fall behind at some point, but in terms of foundation, they far surpass the Premier League.

Moreover, Bayern in the Bundesliga can threaten the Premier League teams from time to time.

The Premier League champion cannot be said to be inferior to the La Liga champion, but it cannot be said to be superior to the Serie A champion and the Bundesliga champion.

In terms of international points statistics, the Premier League's championship and goal points are the same as those of other top leagues.

Although Liverpool's victory shocked the football world, it was the first championship for this powerful team in 30 years, so it was just for fun and not a representative of gold content.

Of course, the Champions League title is not the most valuable in Europe. Because the Champions League is too random, the favorites to win the championship are easily eliminated, and dark horses appear every year.

For example, Tottenham and Ajax last season, and Paris Saint-Germain, Red Bull Leipzig and Lyon this season.

The gold content depends on the winning process and opponents. The most valuable Champions League champion in history is Barcelona in 2015, because Barcelona defeated the champions of six leagues along the way.

Of course, some old fans said that the Serie A championship in the "Little World Cup Era" was more valuable than the Champions League at that time, but we must consider the background of the times. At that time, Serie A was known as the "Little World Cup", and teams of all sizes recruited them The world's top football superstar. At that time, the Champions League had not yet been "expanded". Basically, major and small leagues only had one league champion to participate in the Champions League, so the chance of the Champions League was even greater (the top teams in the minor leagues also won it several times). to the Champions League).

Therefore, it has been compared to "the table tennis world championship is not as intense as our country's domestic table tennis competition." However, if it is the Champions League after restructuring and expansion, the gold content is actually higher than all leagues.

Although the current Premier League is very strong, it is still not as "unique" as Serie A in the "Little World Cup Era". No matter how fierce the competition in the Premier League is, it is not as "little World Cup Serie A" where even mid- and lower-tier teams have big names. star level.

The Champions League final (Liverpool vs. Tottenham) and the Europa League final (Chelsea vs. Arsenal) have both become "civil wars" between Premier League teams. It can be seen that the Premier League is indeed very competitive, but the problem is that the Premier League cannot guarantee that this will happen every year. Scenario, maybe this year is the "Civil War of the Premier League" in the Champions League, and next year some Premier League teams will be eliminated early?

Again, unless the Premier League team can maintain its current form for several consecutive seasons, there is no reason to think that the Premier League championship is more valuable than the Champions League championship.

80% of professional football players in the world have no chance to win the World Cup due to various reasons. Therefore, many players regard the Champions League trophy as the greatest honor they pursue in life!

Big-name stars such as Sheva, Ibrahimovic, Drogba, Eto'o and many others are all representatives of this type!

But then again, this question really needs to be placed last year. Maybe there is a team that values ​​the Premier League more than the Champions League and Premier League titles!

That's Liverpool!

The Premier League championship will always be Liverpool's biggest pain. Even if they win the Champions League twice or three times, they can't erase the shame... The past is too painful to look back on... Of course, after winning the championship this year, these problems will disappear!

From the perspective of the promotion process, the Premier League requires 38 games, 1-2 games per week; the Champions League requires 13 games starting from the group stage, with a long interval, and the two games are completed within a week!

From the perspective of competitive opponents, there are 20 teams in the Premier League, with Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham as the first group. However, there is a saying that there is no underdog in the Premier League, especially Relegation teams, the more they are in the second half of the league, the more often they act like giant killers!

In the Champions League group stage, it is relatively easy for teams from the five major leagues to compete with other low-level teams. Generally speaking, qualifying for the group is not a problem, but the real test comes in the knockout rounds!

Judging from the success rate of winning the championship in a row, the Premier League champions in the past have been able to win the championship a few rounds in advance. There are more opportunities to win the championship again, and three consecutive championships only occur once;

There is absolutely no such thing as winning the Champions League in advance. There are very few who can win the championship or above after the restructuring. Although Real Madrid achieved three consecutive championships, they gave up early in the league!

From the point of view of the points system, the Premier League has the same points system as the Champions League group stage. The Premier League is a long process, but as long as you win enough points, you can win the championship early. The Champions League enters the knockout stage with two games to determine the outcome. A draw will be based on away goals. In order to win, if you don't win in overtime, you will have a penalty kick. There is a greater chance of chance. This is also the charm of football. The weak beat the strong, the small beat the many. You don't know how it will end until the last second!

From the perspective of importance, the top four in the Premier League can qualify for next season's Champions League, and only by winning the Champions League can they qualify for next season's Champions League. From this perspective, the Champions League is more difficult!

Most teams often look at league rankings and Champions League rankings, and discard one!

From the perspective of excitement, the Manchester City derby is not as good as before with the decline of Manchester United. The London derby is unprecedentedly fierce. However, compared with the Champions League, due to the knockout system, reversal shows are often staged, and this year is the year of the Champions League reversal!

Judging from the current league rankings, Manchester City and Liverpool lead the Premier League!

Liverpool and Tottenham will battle for the top of the Champions League!

Chelsea and Arsenal meet for the Europa League final. The last round of the Premier League this season will start at the same time at 22:00 on May 12. Manchester City will definitely win and retain the Premier League with a 1-point advantage. Although they were defeated by Tottenham in the Champions League top 8 Although they were eliminated, this season's Champions League and Europa League champions and runners-up were both won by Premier League teams in advance, which is unprecedented!

Manchester City can be proud to say that I am still the dominant player in the Premier League, because the Champions League and Europa League winners and runners-up are all behind me!

So from the perspective of the Premier League's continuous investment in recent years, the gold content is no less than that of the Champions League!

Even better this year!

Traditionally speaking, the Champions League is an intercontinental showdown composed of the top teams from European leagues. The overall strength of the teams in the group is much higher than that of their own national leagues.

For example, Juventus will encounter Chievo, which is ranked last in the league, and in the Champions League group stage, its opponents are Manchester United, Valencia, and the Swiss Youth Team. This unfamiliar youth team is actually the 2018 Swiss Super League champion.

Therefore, in a traditional sense, the strength of the Champions League teams is indeed higher than the overall strength of national leagues. Therefore, the gold content is relatively much higher. This is equivalent to the championship-level league of "selecting the best from the strongest and the best from the best." "!

That's because after the top 8 of the Champions League were formed, people discovered that there were actually 4 teams from the same league, that is the Premier League!

And these two Premier League teams have entered the finals!

Among the top six teams in the Premier League, except for Chelsea and Arsenal who participated in the Europa League, the remaining four teams have all entered the top 8. They are Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham!

Compared with the brutal battles in the Premier League this season, the 1/8 finals of the Champions League were not heavy enough. For example, the battle between Porto and Liverpool seemed a bit unmotivated. After all, Porto was compared with any team in the TOP6. , they are all of a different grade!

And Tottenham's ability to enter the Champions League final has lowered the magnitude of the Champions League final. Compared with Manchester City VS Liverpool, or Chelsea VS Arsenal, Tottenham is still the younger brother.

The English Premier League is composed of 20 teams. It includes many great traditional teams, such as Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, etc., as well as tycoons such as Chelsea and Manchester City, which are settled by Russian and Middle Eastern consortiums. Because the Premier League broadcast dividends are particularly high , player salaries are also extremely high, so it attracts many world-class players and coaches.

Precisely because it is so rich, the Premier League can poach players from leagues all over the world, but it is difficult for you to poach good players in the Premier League. For example, although Bayern won the Champions League this year, their core midfielder Thiago is leaving. The next stop is Liverpool in the Premier League, and Leipzig's Werner, who previously reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, has already left before the Champions League is over. Chelsea, this is the attraction of the Premier League.

The competition for the Premier League title is also the most exciting compared to other leagues. Compared with La Liga, Barcelona and Real Madrid are two players, Serie A has declined and Juventus is the only one, Bayern in the Bundesliga is alone in seeking defeat, Ligue 1 is dominated by the tycoon Paris, and the competition in the Premier League is the greatest. In recent years, with the rise of tycoons like Chelsea and Manchester City, the Premier League has become more than just The battle between Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal is over.

Even Leicester City can stage a dark horse to win the championship. Compared with other leagues, the suspense of Premier League games is the greatest. For a long time, the championship is decided in the last round or two rounds. For example, last year, Liverpool scored 99 points and Manchester City scored 100 points in the final round. It was exciting to decide the winner.

We are looking at the Champions League. There are 32 participating teams in the Champions League every year, including the top four of the four major European leagues: La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, the top three of France, Eredivisie, Portugal, and the top two of Turkey, Russia and Ukraine. There are other small country league champions.

It is a league composed of all the good teams in Europe. You can imagine how difficult it is to win the championship in it. The Champions League is also the most exciting league in the world. Its excitement and influence are comparable to the World Cup.

The Champions League championship is the highest honor for all European clubs. Real Madrid can be called the best team of the 20th century. The most important thing is Real Madrid's success in the Champions League, especially the first five consecutive championships, which shocked the past and present!

In the early days of the Champions League, the league champions of various countries participated. In recent years, only the top four of some top-ranked leagues can participate. Many lower-ranked league champions need multiple rounds of qualifying and play-offs to qualify for the Champions League main draw. The main draw needs to go through a series of rounds. A two-round group stage and multiple two-round knockout rounds, and finally the championship and runner-up will be determined through the final. So the Champions League champion is the champion of champions.

As for the Premier League, it is currently ranked second in Europe and ranked first in previous years, but in any case, the Premier League champion is not as good as the Champions League champion.

In the Premier League, Liverpool has only won one Premier League championship. Including the previous English League One championships, the number is still inferior to Manchester United. However, the experience of winning the Champions League six times makes it difficult for Manchester United and other Premier League clubs to achieve.

This determines Liverpool's status as the number one club in the Premier League!

Therefore, the Champions League championship has high gold content!

Whether it is the King of Spain Cup or the FA Cup in England, it is actually a "domestic cup" in nature, with specifications similar to our Chinese Football Association Cup. Some second- and even third-level teams can participate in domestic cups, and " "UEFA Champions League", but only the top four teams in the league are eligible to participate. Which one has the highest gold content?

Isn't this a matter of deciding between superior and superior?

If league rankings are not considered, even if you win the FA Cup or King's Cup, you can only participate in the Europa League, and you won't even qualify for the Champions League (the Europa League winner can participate in the Champions League). How can it be more valuable than the Champions League?

The Champions League is becoming more and more important. It is not easy to win the Champions League. Almost all top teams compete.

For example, Liverpool, the Champions League champion this year, defeated Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga hegemon, Porto, the old Portuguese team, and Barcelona, ​​the La Liga champion, in the knockout rounds. It can be said that the Champions League is the most important in terms of technology and commercial value. , every year the Champions League final is the highlight of UEFA, attracting fans from all over the world to watch.

If you want to win the Champions League, you must have enough strength and luck.

The FA Cup and Copa del Rey are both domestic cup competitions in the United Kingdom and Spain, and are participated by national teams. These are also cup competitions other than the league. Today's teams basically don't pay much attention to such cup competitions. They are tasteless and it is a pity to abandon them. .

It is just a consolation for teams that may not win the league championship. Except for local fans, few people watch it unless you are a die-hard fan of the team or have a fierce dialogue between the powerful.

The reason why Real Madrid's influence is so great is because it is the team that has won the most championships. Therefore, it has many fans around the world. In a sense, the influence of the Champions League is even greater than the influence of the World Cup. The Champions League is held every year, while the World Cup is only held every four years.

The teams participating in the Champions League are all the best teams in the world. They are teams from the five major European leagues. The participating teams all have top players from all continents. For example, this year’s Champions League champion Liverpool, forward player Mane is from Africa, and Sadio Mane is from Africa. Lage is from Egypt and Firmano is from South America, Brazil.

The other lines are all top players from their respective countries, and they are also the main players or regulars of the national team!

Generally speaking, the Champions League is also called the Little World Cup, and its influence is undoubted!
