Chapter 521 Real Madrid
? Before the UEFA Champions League group draw, Notts County still has a Premier League game to play. The opponent is Newcastle, a strong Premier League team. This time Notts County can send the main force to battle!
Notts County dominated most of the time at St James' Park, with Villa scoring a goal towards the end of the first half, who was also on the verge of the European Ballon d'Or selection. While cherishing every opportunity to play, every goal will add a final and stable weight to him, and he is still the top scorer in the Premier League. He is the player with the highest award.
However, Notts County's current lineup is still unstable. In the 70th minute of the second half, Ozil was intercepted by the opponent, Newcastle played a quick counterattack, and when defending the opponent's side pass, Lesco Te accidentally headed the ball into his own gate, and Newcastle equalized in this way.
Fortunately, Chelsea did not win this round, and the gap between the two teams was still 3 points and did not widen.
After this game, Notts County ushered in the draw for the Champions League 1/8 finals. For the first time in such an important game, Notts County naturally hopes that the opponent is weaker.
This time, David and Loew came to the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland to participate in the draw. In the previous life, Kwang watched a similar draw in front of the TV. This time he also wanted to see the live version, and he also wanted to be close. Take a look at it from a distance and see if UEFA really likes to play tricks in the draw.
Usually in this kind of draw, the club president and coach are usually not present. Most of them are assistant coaches and vice-chairmen. Notts County has reached the Champions League round of 16 for the first time. The presence of David and Loew naturally makes them became the focus of the field.
Those who knew or did not know, all came to say hello to David, so that David did not tire of it. He was unwilling to be fooled by these hypocritical people, and Loew had a quiet temperament. The two finally got rid of the crowd and found their own actions. , couldn't help but look at each other and smile, knowing this, he brought Soriano here, he is good at these things!
As usual, there will definitely be a UEFA spokesperson explaining the rules of the draw. Although there is no change from last season, the official form still needs to go a bit.
The first in the group touches the second in the group, the same group avoids, the same country avoids, and the first in the group has the advantage of the competition schedule.
Soon, the drawing of lots will officially begin, and it's time to decide the fate of each club!
The top spots in the group are all hard to crack. Perhaps only Leverkusen and Lyon are a little weaker. For the second place in the group, the best result is to draw these two teams. .
In the second place in the group, there are also strong Real Madrid and Barcelona, as well as Bayern and Manchester United, all of which are the top giants, even if they are the first place in the group,
I don't want to meet these powerful enemies.
Among the 6 opponents that Notts County may encounter, Loew has done an analysis with David. The three ordinary strong teams are nothing to be afraid of. Real Madrid and Barcelona seem to be strong, but Loew is confident that they can eliminate their opponents. What Loew is a little worried about is the Bundesliga class against Bayern. In Loew's view, the tenacious fighting will of the German team is sometimes more terrifying than powerful techniques and tactics.
Of course, Loew is not afraid of Bayern, but if he can meet a strong team later, wouldn't it be a good thing for Notts County!
Soon, the two sides of the first group of duels were freshly released, Manchester United and AC Milan met together!
AC Milan was the Serie A champion last season. Under Ancelotti's training, their strength was a mess. In David's previous life, if not for the magical night of Istanbul, Benitez's team was sheltered by the gods. I am afraid that the final summit is AC Milan.
Such a rivalry between two absolute giants actually appeared in 1/8, which is really a bit unacceptable. This is definitely a collision at the level of the Champions League final!
The second group is Porto vs. Inter Milan. For Inter Milan, this is definitely a sign. After Porto entered the Champions League final last season, coach Jose Mourinho took over Chelsea, and the team's main lineup was also seriously lost. The strength has dropped significantly, and it is definitely the weakest opponent.
After that, Bremen and Lyon were drawn. For both sides, this is a satisfactory result. Perhaps this is the least interesting confrontation in the 1/8 finals.
However, Leverkusen, which was drawn later, against PSV Eindhoven seemed to be equally good. The encounter between two relatively weak teams was really unimpressive.
But soon, everyone's interest came up again, because in the next 1/8 final, the two sides who played were Barcelona and Chelsea. This was another strong dialogue between the giants and the giants.
Barcelona is on the road to a revival, and Chelsea are the most popular team in Europe, and the confrontation between the two is no worse than the showdown between Manchester United and Milan.
In the draw for the round of 16, the strong dialogue seems to have become the theme. The reporters were just amazed by the meeting between Barcelona and Chelsea. Bayern was immediately drawn, and Bayern's opponent was the Premier League giant Arsenal.
One is the Bundesliga squad, and the other is the Premier League giants. The match between the two teams will undoubtedly be another match like Mars hitting the earth.
Seeing that Bayern was taken away, Loew and David were still very happy. At least Bayern did not become Notts County's opponent. No matter who they faced, Notts County would not have too much fear.
And when the guests pulled out Monaco, the final two battles were completely clear!
Leverkusen vs Juventus
Notts County v Real Madrid
David never imagined that Notts County would meet Real Madrid in the 1/8 finals. He had imagined before that Notts County would meet so and so, but now this person really appeared, and it was when Real Madrid , David still feels incredible.
Although Florentino is still implementing his superstar strategy this summer, the team's performance is still deteriorating. The team relies too much on superstars. In the second half of the league, the superstars can't bear their physical fitness!
The Champions League 1/8 final will start at the end of February next year. By that time, I am afraid that Real Madrid's superstars will be exhausted!
Of course, for these superstars, you still have to be careful, because they all have the ability to change the situation of the game.
For Notts County, this sign is not an up sign, but it is not a down sign, just an ordinary sign that can't be any more common. (To be continued.)
