434 Fierce Premier League

In the strong entry of Abramovich, the British football world began the Premier League in the 03-04 season.

Chelsea has received the greatest attention.

It's not because British football thinks Chelsea has a chance to win the Premier League championship. Instead, people want to see what Chelsea will do after such a crazy acquisition. And Chelsea's performance also lived up to expectations.

In the first round of the Premier League, he faced England's giant Liverpool. Although Liverpool's Owen scored a goal for Liverpool, Chelsea defeated Liverpool 2-1 away with goals from Peron and Hasselbaink.

As soon as this game appeared, everyone marveled at Chelsea's strength.

In the game, Chelsea completely overwhelmed Liverpool. And Owen's goal depends on Owen's personal ability. And if Liverpool hadn't played well in the whole game, I don't know how many goals Liverpool had been scored by Chelsea.

Is this a reorganized team?

Peron is a scum at Manchester United! I didn't expect to play so freely in Chelsea's first game. Ball control, passing and shooting are all so excellent.

Everyone was shocked by Chelsea's strength.

Looking at the game, they only remembered this sentence: Is it good to have money?

After that, Chelsea defeated Leicester City 2-1, drew 1-0 with Birmingham, and defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-2.

Especially in the victory over Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea was full of fire. The newly joined Mutu scored twice in the game. Tottenham's back line has no defensive ability in the face of Mutu.

Tottenham Hotspur's defense is undefensed against Mutu.

The striker who became famous in Parma did not get used to it at all after arriving at the Premier League. Come and fight.

Three wins and one draw in four games, and the results are even better than Manchester United.

Such a performance surprised everyone.

Three wins and one draw in four games, accumulated ten points. It ranks second in the Premier League.

Three wins and one draw are really good results, but unfortunately there is a more perverted club in the Premier League this season. That's Arsenal.

Arsenal won four games in four games in August.

They beat Everton 2-1 at home, Middelsbrough 4-0 away, Aston Villa 2-0 at home, and Manchester City 2-1 away.

Henry, this season's state is completely invincible.

Although only three goals were scored in four games, the three goals were evenly distributed in the first three games. Most importantly, Henry is not just a terminator now. Henry is the organizer of the front court, who can score goals and assist.

After four seasons, Arsenal gradually became perfect. The current Arsenal is not only a strong main lineup, but also a certain thickness for the substitute lineup that has always plagued Arsenal.

Except for Arsenal's four wins and Chelsea's three wins and one draw, Manchester United is three wins and one loss.

This is completely different from the previous Premier League.

In the previous Premier League, it was already a very good result to score seven or eight points in the game at the beginning of the season. Because at the beginning of the season, many clubs were underprepared. They need to use the game to adjust their state.

These seasons have gradually changed this situation because of the strong rise of George's Blackburn.

Everyone began to pay attention to the game at the beginning of the season. But it still lags far behind Blackburn.

But this season is completely different. It turned out that from the beginning of the season, these teams were full of energy. Not only because of Blackburn's role models in these seasons, but also because of Chelsea's appearance.

Chelsea put a lot of pressure on major clubs in the Premier League.

Although the old English club disdains Chelsea in words. And many celebrities also think that Chelsea is unlikely to win this season. But this can't be reduced. These clubs are afraid of Chelsea.

What they are afraid of is not the strength of Chelsea.

What they are afraid of is Abrasimovic behind. Will this mysterious Russian millionaire continue to invest crazily this summer? If there are two more such transfer periods, not to mention the Premier League strong team, even the European giants can't stand it.

Of course, Blackburn, who has always liked to play at the beginning of the season, has a good performance.

In the first round of the Premier League, he defeated the promoted Wolves 5-1, then lost 2-2 away to Bolton, won 3-1 at home against Manchester City, and defeated Fulham 1-0 at home. It's also three wins and one loss in four games, the same as Manchester United's points.

The four top teams in the Premier League performed very well at the beginning of the season.

With the entry of Abrasimovic, the Premier League began to compete for hegemony. Manchester United, Arsenal, Blackburn, Chelsea, Liverpool, these strong teams began a scuffle.

............After finishing the fourth round of the Premier League, George went to participate in the draw of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.

The UEFA Champions League has once again undergone major reforms.

In the past, the UEFA Champions League was in two group matches, and the clubs that broke out from the second round of the group stage directly entered the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League. If a club wants to enter the Champions League final, it will play at least 17 games.

Of course, if it starts from the UEFA Champions League qualification, it will exceed 17 games. Seventeen games start from the first round of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.

It's just because there are too many Champions League matches.

It makes many European giants complain about the Champions League schedule. Just like Blackburn, when he won the Champions League in 01-02, he played more than 60 games throughout the season. If some international players play in the national team, they will play more games in a season.

Even if it is a rotation, those core players are less than 50 games in a season.

If there are more games, these players will be easily injured. These are very unsatisfactory to the rich European families. Therefore, after long-term consultation with UEFA, the UEFA Champions League has finally undergone another reform at the beginning of this season.

The biggest change in this UEFA Champions League reform is to remove one of the two rounds of group matches.

From now on, there is only one left in the UEFA Champions League group stage. As long as you break out from the group stage, it will be the top 16 of the Champions League. It is directly the Champions League knockout match.

Such a change is very beneficial to the major European giants.

First of all, because there is only one group match. Therefore, the probability of a death group is very low.

In the previous two rounds of group matches, the probability of death in the second round of group matches was very high. Just like last year, the four group matches were full of strong teams. It is the group of death.

But now there is only one round of group matches, and there are very few death groups.

Even if there is a death group, there will only be one or two death groups among the eight groups.

This ensures that the European giants can easily enter the Champions League knockout stage. It is very in their interests.

One more advantage is that there are fewer games. In the past, if you want to enter the Champions League final, you have to play at least 17 games. But with the reform of the Champions League, there are only 13 games from the main game to the final. Don't underestimate these four games. For European giants, it is very important to miss four games.

This Champions League reform is the result of a game between UEFA and European giants.

Although Blackburn is still a small team, it is a well-known club in European football in recent years. So when George, the youngest head coach of the Champions League, came to the draw, many head coaches came to say hello.

George nod to them.

Suddenly, I saw Ancelotti talking and laughing over there. Ancelotti is now in the spring breeze. He, who has always been called the "thousand-year-old second", led Milan to the Champions League last season.

Ancelotti is at the peak of his career.

But George was very unhappy when he looked at Ancelotti. It's not that I have any opinion about Ancelotti himself, but I'm not satisfied with Milan's elimination last season. In the two games, there was no power to fight back. This makes George always have pimples in his heart.

George looked at the magnificent Ancelotti and hoped to be separated with Milan.

It's better to meet in the group stage.

It's hard not to report the hatred of last season.

It may be that Ancelotti felt a pair of eyes staring at him. So he looked back and saw George looking at himself, so he nodded with a smile.

George nodded reluctantly. Then he immediately turned his head and talked to the other head coach.

George wanted to draw with Milan, but unfortunately he didn't follow his wishes.

The draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage ended, and there was no so-called death group in the eight groups. Even if those experts find the group of death, it is just some relative group of death. There is no way to compare with the death group in the previous two rounds of group matches.

Blackburn was placed in Group C. This group is a very good draw in the eyes of others, but George doesn't think so.

In this group, in addition to Blackburn, there are also Eindhoven, Monaco and Athens AEK.

AEK Athens is a recognized fish brisket. After all, it is a Greek team. The strength is very poor.

As for Eindhoven and Monaco, many analysts believe it is fish brisket. Especially compared with Blackburn, the strength is too poor. But George didn't dare to underestimate them.

Eiin Hoven, who is the head coach? He is the famous magic coach Hiddink. And in the current Eindhoven, Robben, Kai Yuman, and South Korean international Park Ji-sung are also among them. In the next few seasons, Eindhoven will perform extremely well in the Champions League.

As for Monaco, it should not be underestimated.

This season, Monaco even reached the Champions League final. Although there are some other reasons, Monaco is very strong. Moreentes, Jiuli, Evra, Adebayor, Pulsho.

It's just that Eindhoven and Monaco are not known now. That's why the media thought Blackburn drew a good draw.

Of course, George attaches a little importance to Eindhoven and Monaco, but he is far from being afraid. What if Monaco can reach the Champions League final? That's because no one pays attention to it. As long as George values it, George believes that Monaco can't escape the palm of his hand.
