Chapter 245 Phase 2 Group Stage Draw Next

The draw rules of the second stage of the UEFA Champions League group are slightly different from the first stage. The first stage is divided into four levels according to their UEFA points in the past five years. Each group will include one, two, three or four teams, and there cannot be different teams from the same league in the same group.

The second stage is divided into four levels according to the results of the group stage of the first stage. There are still no different teams from the same league in the same group.

Alkmaar has an excellent record in the group stage in the first stage, from the fourth stage to the first stage, which can be said to be a salted fish turnaround. Jiang Mu, Shihlinjia and Alkma are all looking forward to drawing a good draw.

The first round of the draw was calm. Barcelona, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Alkmaar were drawn to four groups: A, B, C and D.

In the second round, Group A pulled out Porto, and Barcelona's head coach Van Gaal smiled. For Barcelona's style, it was much easier to play Porto in the Iberian Peninsula than the Italian team and the Premier League team in Apennine.

The next draw of Group B is Bordeaux, which makes the defender of the defending champion Manchester United's coach Ferguson look very relaxed. Although Bordeaux qualified first in the group, the strength of the other teams in their group is average, and Bordeaux is obviously only a mid-end team in Europe, which is not a threat to Manchester United.

The second gear of Group C was drawn by Bayern. As soon as the signing was pulled out, Real Madrid's head coach Bosk frowned, and the whole audience sounded with exclamation. However, except for Real Madrid and Bayern, except for Real Madrid and Bayern, all the others were surprises. It was really a great pleasure in life to watch the two giants fight.

Group D did not have any suspense at this time. Chelsea was the last team in the second grade. They were in a group with Alkmaar. Jiang Mu's expression was extremely strange when he saw Bayern being drawn to Group C. Compared with Bayern, it was undoubtedly a good draw to Chelsea, but compared with the previous two teams. This is another sign, which makes him feel extremely painful.

"It's mainly about the third team." Shihe Linjia understood Jiang Mu's mood and comforted him in a low voice.

"I know this, but if we draw another strong team, this game will be difficult." Jiang Mu smiled bitterly. The draw to Chelsea has indicated that it will not be a good sign. Will luck turn later?

When the third gear of Group A pulled out Hertha Berlin, Van Gaal was already comfortably leaning against the back of the chair at this time, which indicated that they were a very comfortable group.

Valencia, who is not weak in the third stage of Group B, are the second strongest team in the group. Ferguson's expression became a little unhappy at this time. This sign is a little worse than the last one.

But Group C and Group D are also uncomfortable, because the remaining two teams are Lazio and Dynamo Kiev. Although Dynamo Kiev has taken the Champions League top scorer Shevchenko, their overall strength is still not to be underestimated. Neither of the two teams is happy.

However, relatively speaking, Jiang Mu still hopes to draw Dynamo Kiev. The Ukrainian team's core Shevchenko must be better than the reinforced concrete Lazio.

However, Jiang Mu's luck is getting worse and worse. Group C drew Dynamo Kiev and left Lazio to Group D. Now Group D basically has the prototype of Group Death, which depends on the last sign.

There are still Sparta Prague, Rosenborg, Florence and Marseille. The head coaches drawn from the four groups are staring at the host, eager to draw Sparta Prague and Rosenborg.

Because Alkmaar used to be in a group with Rosenborg, according to the rules, they can't meet. Alkmaar's only chance is Sparta Prague. The other two Marseilles and Florence are not idle people.

"There should be no quiet heating, or applying potions to play the trick of special contact lenses, right?" Shilinjia quietly asked Jiang Mudao.

"No matter who knows, but I think our luck is just like this. Sparta Prague will definitely not be in the same group with us. We must be Marseille." Jiang Mu lamented that today's luck is really average.

"It's okay. It's nothing to draw anyone. Anyway, we've won so far." Shihlin Jiadao.

"From the perspective of money, we have made a lot of money, but from the perspective of honor, the top eight is our goal." Jiang Mudao.

Jiang Mu's hunch is very accurate. Sparta Prague was drawn by Group A in the first round. Barcelona has become the most comfortable first team, and they can almost prepare for the knockout match of the quarterfinals.

And Group D is also officially declared to be the group of death. The four teams in this group, Chelsea, Lazio, Alkmaar and Marseille, are close in strength, and no one is sure to qualify.

Next is to see who in Group B and Group C can draw Rosenberg's soft persimmon. The result is the same as the beginning. If you are lucky, you will continue to have good luck. If you are unlucky, Group B will draw Fiorentina to the end. The defending champion Manchester United is in the same group with Florence, Bordeaux and Valencia, which is slightly inferior. The group of death in Group D.

Although Group C has two giants, Bayern and Real Madrid, their other two rivals, Dynamo Kiev and Rosenberg, are not enough and pose much threat to the two giants.

The draw for the second stage of the UEFA Champions League group stage has been completed. Group A: Barcelona, Porto, Hertha Berlin, Sparta Prague. Group B: Manchester United, Florence, Valencia, Bordeaux. Group C: Real Madrid, Bayern, Dynamo Kiev, Rosenberg; Group D: Marseille, Lazio, Chelsea, Alkmaar.

After the lottery, some people are happy and some are worried. Barcelona coach Van Garr said hypocritically to the media: "Oto is a Portuguese super giant. Hertha Berlin has been on the rise in the past two years. Sparta Prague is actually a dark horse. Anything can happen in the Champions League. We must prepare carefully, otherwise It's possible that the boat will overturn in the gutter.

Bayern coach Heathfield said: "Real Madrid is one of the most powerful teams in world football. They are our biggest competitors. Of course, we can't ignore Dynamo and Rosenberg Kiev and despise them to bring us big trouble."

Real Madrid coach Bosco claimed to take revenge. He said: Bayern doesn't need to say, because in this kind of competition, you will only encounter strong or stronger enemies. Dynamo Kiev must not be underestimated. Last season, we were eliminated from the quarterfinals by Dynamo Kiev. This season we met in the group stage again. This is a good thing for us. I think my players will be full of fighting spirit.

Group D popular Chelsea coach Viali expressed concern about the situation in this group. He said: We are the group of death. There is no doubt about it. Chelsea, Lazio and Marseille are on the same level. Alkmaar is a little less famous, but they are big dark horses, and their strength is difficult to guess. Test, maybe they are the most difficult team to deal with. It is difficult for you to break through the door of the Italian team. Even for an attacking team like Lazio, their defense must not be underestimated. Lazio is our main competitor. The French team has just won the world championship, and their club must not be underestimated. Marseille They won the runner-up in Ligue 1 by only one point in a season, and they will be one of their competitors.

Eriksson, the head coach of Lazio, was also very dissatisfied with being drawn to Group D. He complained: "We have drawn the most difficult group. The strength of the four teams is very similar. No one is a big favorite to qualify. For us, promotion depends on the best."

Marseille coach Kobe did not come to the scene to participate in the lottery ceremony. It was Captain Pires and Chairman Makand who came to Monaco. Marseille's strength is slightly inferior to Chelsea Lazio, but it also has the power of a battle. Captain Pires is very open-minded. He said, "Except for Group A, no group is easy to play, because the qualifying. There are only two places, and these 16 teams are the strongest or the 16 teams in the best form in Europe. I am quite satisfied with the result of such a draw. At least we still have the strength to fight. The UEFA Champions League is full of accidents. AC Milan didn't even rush through the group stage. The strength is not as simple as written on paper. Everything is possible.

Macand, president of the Marseille Club, said: This is a relatively close group, and some people call it the group of death. The competition in this group will be more fierce. I'm not familiar with Alkmaar, but we will soon know how strong they are."

Jiang Mu's views on the lottery are similar to those of Prey. The strength of this group is average, and everyone has the strength to fight, and no one is sure to qualify, which is more beneficial to Jiang Mu, who is good at on-the-spot command. So after the draw, Jiang Mu expressed his opinion on the reporter's interview.

"Maybe you can say on paper that this team is easy to deal with, and that team is more difficult to deal with, but what will really happen can only be seen on the court. Obviously, no team in this group stands out from the crowd. This result is not bad, but we will still focus on the group stage. It makes me regret that we need to travel long distances, which is a test for us, because we seldom played abroad except for warm-up matches.

A reporter just asked me what my goal I have. I said no. My goal is to play games one by one. Winning or losing is not very important. We have made everyone look at it here. The Italian team is always well prepared, and the England team has always been very threatening. I want to get from him. It takes twelve points of effort to get a qualified place among us.

After the draw ceremony of the UEFA Champions League group stage, major European gambling companies also immediately adjusted their odds of winning the championship. Barcelona jumped to become the team with the highest demand for winning the championship, because after the group stage, there is a quarter-final knockout match. It is easy to play in the group stage, with fewer injuries and red and yellow card reductions, which is very helpful for the knockout stage. .

And Alkmaar's odds of winning the championship began to fall because they were divided into the death group, only ranking ahead of Rosenborg, Sparta Prague and Hertha Berlin among the 16 teams.

Major media in Europe also think that it is difficult for the big dark horse Alkmaar to move forward. If it is not a group match but a knockout match, Alkma may continue to play, but the group cycle requires a high level of the team's strength. In the group of death, Alkmaar has little chance to survive.
