069: Galatasaray is the lucky angel

Yes, the group results of the UEFA Champions League for the 2014-2015 season are out, and the major media in England are discussing the group situation this time.

To be honest, in the eyes of the English media, the situation of the group grouping this time is really mixed!

The happy thing is of course that Crystal Palace, the defending Premier League champion, is in the fourth pot and has avoided the super death group. It is a blessing among blessings. Also, Liverpool, which is ranked in the third pot, also got a very good draw and did not encounter the group of death, which is very good.

The grouping situation of Chelsea and Manchester City is not ideal!

Especially Manchester City. They should be in a pretty good group in the second tier. But they were divided into the group of death. In the same group with them were the Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, the Serie A powerhouse Roma, and even the Russian Super League giant CSKA Moscow.

Don't underestimate CSKA Moscow. They may not be particularly strong, but their home field advantage is huge. There is even a legend circulating in the Champions League that the most difficult away game to conquer is the home court of CSKA Moscow.

Because the weather in Russia is very bad.

When these players go to play away games in the Champions League, they often encounter college weather and the venue conditions are very bad.

And CSKA Moscow is very familiar with such venue conditions. It will be difficult for you to win!

Therefore, these three opponents of Manchester City cannot be underestimated!

Even the media in England feel that the possibility of Manchester City failing in the group is very high.

As the only first-tier team in the Premier League, everyone thought Chelsea would draw a winning lottery ticket, but little did they know that they only drew a winning lottery ticket.

Schalke 04 and Sporting CP in this group seem to be inferior to Chelsea, but it is not easy to defeat them. And at this time, Chelsea has just been rebuilt and is not in the best condition yet. They may not be able to defeat these two teams 100%.

Therefore, Chelsea is also in danger of being eliminated.

The media reporters in England all think that this draw is really very unfriendly to the Premier League teams!

Some English media reporters predict that this season it is very likely that two or three teams in the Premier League will be eliminated in the group stage.

Of course, media reporters also feel that although Crystal Palace is a fourth-tier team, they have drawn the best draw. Their group, Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Galatasaray in the Turkish Super League and Anderlecht in the Belgian League, to be honest, is not particularly strong. If Crystal Palace can perform at its normal level last season, they will It shouldn't be difficult to qualify from the group, right?

To be honest, Tong Yi thinks so too!

In their group, Dortmund was second in the Bundesliga last season, Galatasaray was also second in the Turkish Super League last season, Antele

Hurt is the Belgian champion. However, the strength and standard of the Belgian First Division are inferior, which is not a cause for concern.

As for Galatasaray, they are not the strongest team in the Turkish Super League, and their strength should not be a concern.

If it were the champions of the Turkish Super League, Crystal Palace might still be worried.

Galatasaray finished second in the Turkish Super League and won the Turkish Cup last season. Logically speaking, he should have participated in the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds, but they did not. They directly advanced to the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.

Therefore, Tong Yi is still a little unsure about Galatasaray's strength!

Why does Galatasaray rank second in the Turkish Super League but does not need to participate in the Champions League qualifying rounds? After all, there are only 15 places in the Turkish Super League, and the second-ranked one should participate in the European qualifying play-offs!

Is there any hidden secret here?

It is indeed the case!

There is indeed a hidden secret here!

Because the champion of the Turkish Super League in the 2013-2014 season was Fenerbahce, it stands to reason that they should directly qualify for the UEFA Champions League, but they did not qualify for the Champions League!

why?

Because in the 20112012 season, Fenerbahce controlled the game in the domestic Turkish Super League championship game.

Yes, it was the UEFA football match-fixing scandal that broke out when Tong Yi was still in 1860 Munich.

At that time, it was revealed that nearly a hundred games in major European football circles had been manipulated and defined as match-fixing. Even the Europa League and Champions League matches are defined as match-fixing.

That incident had a huge impact!

The local tycoon Fenerbahce is also involved.

In the Turkish Super League championship in the 20112012 season, Fenerbahçe controlled the game and finally defeated Sivasspor 4-3 and won the league championship!

In July 2012, the matter came to light.

93 people related to this game have been investigated, including referee officials, coaches, players, and even club executives, etc., and they are widely implicated.

After God, the boss of Fenerbahce Club. Sildirim was also sentenced to six years in prison for match-fixing. Although he was finally released after successfully appealing his appeal, Fenerbahce's manipulation of the game was hammered down.

In August 2013, Fenerbahçe failed to appeal and would be completely punished by UEFA.

Because in June 2013

At that time, UEFA announced penalties for the wealthy teams Fenerbahce and Besiktas. Yes, another wealthy Turkish Super League club, Besiktas, was also found to have manipulated the game and was punished. Fenerbahce were expelled from European competitions for two years and Besiktas was expelled for one year!

Besikstad directly accepted the punishment and did not appeal!

Fenerbahce filed an appeal, but it was rejected in August. In the end, Fenerbahce had to accept the penalty from UEFA and will not be able to participate in European competitions for two years!

Therefore, Fenerbahce was unable to participate in the Champions League last season and this season!

Last season Fenerbahce won the Turkish Super League championship, but they were not eligible. The qualification was postponed to Galatasaray, which was second in the league, and the place to participate in the Champions League qualifying play-offs was postponed to Besiktas, which was third. ??

Besiktas only competed for one year and was banned last season. This season they were lifted. They also participated in the Champions League qualifying play-offs. Unfortunately, they met the Premier League giant Chelsea in the play-offs. They lost to Chelsea 0-1 in two rounds and missed the Champions League group stage.

Therefore, this is the reason why Galatasaray finished second in the league and could directly participate in the Champions League at this time!

It is also because of Fenerbahce's two-year ban that Galatasaray has been qualified to participate in the Champions League in recent years, so they can be assigned to the second tier.

Therefore, Galatasaray was able to enter the Champions League only because of Fenerbahce's suspension. Tong Yi felt that this team should not be too difficult to deal with.

Tong Yi still has confidence in these two opponents.

As long as they win against these two opponents, Crystal Palace will be enough to qualify from this group.

Therefore, Tong Yi is still very confident about qualifying from the group!

Of course, Dortmund in this group is still very strong!

At this time, the outside media was also reporting on the match between Crystal Palace and Dortmund. Now the battle between Tong Yi and Klopp is about to begin!

Which of these two is more powerful?

Everyone is really interested!

Currently, many media reporters are making predictions and reports, and there are even many media reporters who want to interview Tong Yi. Even Adriana, a reporter from The Times, wanted to interview Tong Yi right now. She came directly to the Beckenham training base!

It's a pity that she ran away in vain!

Because Tong Yi has led the Crystal Palace team to the away game to challenge Newcastle United!

This time, Adriana did not go to the away game because of the Champions League draw.

Follow this game.

When she thought that Tong Yi and Klopp would compete with each other in the Champions League, she was so excited that her selective memory failed and she forgot that Crystal Palace and Tong Yi had already gone to the away game.

She didn't react until she arrived at the Beckenham training base.

However, her trip was not in vain. He met Campbell and Nagelsmann who had returned from Monaco at the Beckenham training base. She was interviewing Campbell!

Facing Adriana, Campbell said: "To be honest, we are very satisfied with the result of this song lottery. This is already a very good result. This is the top lottery. In this group, we Crystal Palace It is very competitive. For Galatasaray and Anderlecht, we are confident to beat them. Even against Dortmund, our Crystal Palace is not bad, and we are confident to beat them!"

Adriana's eyes lit up and she asked, "Do you think coach Tong Yi can easily defeat his senior brother Klopp?"

Before Campbell could speak, Nagelsmann said first, "Is this surprising? Is it shocking? Didn't our boss never play against Klopp when he was in Germany? At that time, the winner was He is also our boss! To be honest, our boss has many ways to deal with Klopp. Klopp is not as good as our boss, our boss Mr. Tong Yi is the strongest!"

Campbell said nothing, but nodded firmly.

hiss!

Adriana gasped, Nagelsmann and Campbell breathed loudly!

When they were in Germany, the duel between Tong Yi and Klopp should have been mutually beneficial, right? How come these two guys are so confident here? Has Tong Yi evolved? Or do they think Crystal Palace is stronger than Munich 1860, so they are more confident now?

I wonder how Klopp would react after hearing these words?

Campbell also said, "Of course, we cannot say that our Crystal Palace will definitely be able to qualify from this group. After all, you also know very well that our current state of Crystal Palace is not very good. We must adjust as soon as possible. If we adjust , we are 100% confident that we will emerge from this group.”

Nagelsmann also said eloquently, "Yes, I have full confidence in our boss. I believe he can lead our Crystal Palace to successfully reach the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League, or even go further!"

Adriana nodded slightly, if these two people said this, she would believe it.

Crystal Palace's recent form is indeed not good, but if they can adjust their form as soon as possible, Adriana also believes that Crystal Palace can stand out from this group and advance to the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
