Chapter 481 Champions League draw

David has been living in a daze these days, feeling that he can't get out of the shadows, but the Champions League draw has brought him back to reality. For Notts County, the first Champions League trip is coming.

As a new champion of the Premier League, in the UEFA club standings, Notts County ranks 14th among all Champions League teams, which is in the second tier.

Won the UEFA Cup for two consecutive seasons, with more than 30 points in each season, but Notts County had no European competitions in the first two seasons, so only 20% of the league's current season, which is a pitiful amount. It can also be compared with some of the top teams in the top five leagues.

This point can be said that Notts County is well prepared. It is the first time to participate in the Champions League, and it will definitely not be assigned to a good grade. However, as long as the Champions League this season is well played, Notts County will definitely be able to reach the sky next season. Many Continental giants are tied in the first gear.

David sat in front of the TV and watched the TV broadcast the whole time, and his emotions could not be restrained.

Notts County is about to take the biggest stage and become the focus of the world!

In the era when Johansson was in charge of UEFA, he was committed to making the Champions League a game of giants and strong teams, and it was also a feast for fans. In the group stage, there would be a situation where two strong teams would meet, but it would not allow Three strong teams appear in a group at the same time, that is, the group of death in the usual sense does not occur.

The same is true for the group draw this time. Except for the defending champion Monaco, which entered the third tier because of few points, there is no particularly strong team in the third and fourth tiers.

When the small ball representing Notts County was drawn, Notts County's Champions League situation this season was also freshly released.

Every group draw can create countless topics, and this time is no exception. Monaco, the defending Champions League champion, and Notts County, the UEFA Cup champion, have been drawn together. In addition to the upcoming European Super Cup, in a short period of time, Two high-flying teams have three games to go.

Moreover, as the strongest teams in the third and fourth positions, they can actually meet each other. This is the real group of death. Any team in the first pot who encounters them may have a headache. To die!

As a result, Deportivo Deportivo, who looked the weakest in the first pot, was unlucky, and they were divided with these two strong teams, plus Olympiacos from Greece, forming Group A, which was also the draw The most horrific looking death group in the world.

In fact, the group of death does not have two top teams, but three or four teams that seem to be relatively average in strength. Everyone has the hope of qualifying, and everyone has the possibility of being eliminated. This is called the real group of death. .

Although Olympiacos looks like it can only be soy sauce,

But look at the remaining three teams, one is the defending champion of the Champions League, one is the Champions League semi-finals last season, and the other is the UEFA Cup champion last season. When the three teams meet, it has to collide. What a passion ~ the spark of love!

The combination of Real Madrid, Roma and Bayer Leverkusen in Group B is also very eye-catching, and one of these three strong teams is also tragically eliminated from the group!

In Group C, the two giants, Bayern and Juventus, are the absolute favorites. Even if the Dutch giants Ajax are also assigned to this group, no one thinks they can threaten the status of the two giants. As for the fourth ball Team Maccabi Tel Aviv, who knows which league this team came from?

Manchester United and Lyon, the Ligue 1 hegemons in Group D, met. Lyon's performance in the European war has always been unsatisfactory, but this time their group appearance is not a big problem. Whether it is Sparta Prague or Fenerbahce, it is just It has the hope of challenging them in theory, but in practice, it is only a role to accompany the prince to study.

Arsenal is the only team in Group E, and neither PSV nor Panathinaikos can shake Arsenal's top spot in the group. What they need to compete for is the second qualifying spot in the group. As for the fourth pot Rosenberg, just let him watch the excitement beside him.

Group F Barcelona and AC Milan have formed a strong dialogue, and it is difficult for Celtic and Shakhtar Donetsk to do much.

Valencia and Inter Milan are absolute powerhouses in Group G. Werder Bremen also has the ability to disrupt the game. As for Anderlecht, they can still show off their power in Belgium. In the Champions League, they are simply unknown.

In the final Group H, last season’s runners-up Porto and Chelsea were assigned together. Mourinho had to meet the old owner in his first season at Chelsea, which is also very interesting. Losing Ronaldinho’s Paris Saint-Germain ability is in the Champions League. It can only be regarded as the last stream in the middle. Like CSKA Moscow, after six games in the group, you can go home!

The result of the lottery was a few happy and a few sad.

For a strong team, it is necessary to strive to qualify for the group, and also strive to qualify for the first group, so even if the team in the first pot faces the strong teams in the second pot, there is no guarantee that they will be able to achieve it. Target.

A medium-sized team is trying to grab a qualifying spot from a strong team. Even if it is the second qualifying group in the group, it is better to be eliminated in the past to play the UEFA Cup. If people have no dreams, what is the difference between salted fish!

Only the weakest team has no psychological burden. Anyway, even if they fight their lives, I am afraid they will not be able to break out of the group. Their biggest goal is to win a victory, at least in front of fans across Europe. By showing their faces and increasing the club's popularity, their goal has been achieved.

For Notts County, although many people think that this is not a good sign, because neither Monaco nor Deportivo are easy to deal with, even these two teams are super crazy, Maybe it will break out at any time. The kind of God who blocks and kills God. Last season, there was a goal war between the two teams, which shocked the entire European football at that time.

This kind of nerve knife is relatively worrying for Notts County. If it is just normal kicking, Notts County controls the game and may not give the opponent many chances. I can't stop it!

Of course, not being a good sign does not mean that Notts County has no ability to qualify. The UEFA Cup championship for two consecutive seasons has proved Notts County's ability to compete in Europe, even if the UEFA Cup is a notch higher than the Champions League, but Being able to reach the finals will not be inferior to the strength of the giants.

Although he is young, he has enough experience in European wars. Maybe Notts County can really reach the top of the Champions League this season! (To be continued.)
