Chapter 588 Win or sign?

The schedule after the Italian national derby is still tight. The middle of the week is the last round of the UEFA Champions League peripheral group stage, because Inter Milan has qualified early. For them, this game is like a warm-up match, but even if Jiang Mu sends the young people and substitutes of the second team to come out, they must win. Nantes, which was qualified, was not able to win. The players of the Inter Milan mixed formation knew that this game was related to Alkmaer's qualifying. In order to please the head coach, these players who stayed on the bench and the second team did not try their best. They blocked it with all their strength. The Nantes wanted to win too much and was impatient. As a result, Inter Milan's The mixed formation actually defeated Nantes 1:0 away, creating a big miracle. After Nantes was defeated, the team had only 5 points and had been eliminated ahead of schedule.

In the away game, although Alkmaar lost 1:2 to Galatasaray and scored 7 points with their opponents, because they were stronger than Galatasaray in each other's records, they finally won the second place in the group and Inter Milan.

In Group A, Real Madrid, who qualified early, lost to Lokomotiv Moscow, and Rome was also tied by Anderlecht, but the loser's counterattack was too late, which did not stop Real Madrid and Roma from qualifying.

In Group B, Boa Vest dark horse teamed up with Liverpool to qualify. In Group C, it was also the giant Arsenal and the small club Panathinaikos. In Group E, Serie A giant Juventus and Portuguese super giant Porto did not let any suspense happen. Group F Barcelona and Leverkusen came out side by side. Group G and Group H are La Coruña, Manchester United, Bayern and Sparta Prague.

In this way, all the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League have been released. Serie A occupies three seats, three seats in La Liga, three seats in the Premier League, one in the Dutch League, two in the Bundesliga, two in the Portuguese Super League, the first team in the Greek Super League, one in the Czech First Division, and the French Super League, the Russian Super League and the Turkish Super League were completely destroyed.

Compared with last season, La Liga and Serie A have one more team that has reached the top 16 in the Champions League this season. The Premier League and the Bundesliga are the same. Greece's Panasinaikos once again reached the top 16 in the Champions League, continuing the upward momentum. However, two teams qualified in Ligue 1 last season, but this season have fallen. One team has qualified. No, if the Portuguese Super League continues to be strong, I'm afraid they may soon give up the title of the five major leagues.

In the past five seasons, the Spanish team has been brilliant in Europe. Five of the 10 teams that participated in the UEFA Champions League finals came from Spain, three of which won the championship. The remaining five teams, two from Germany (Bayern twice), one from England (Manchester United), one from Italy (Juventus), and one from the Netherlands (Alkmaar).

This season, it is difficult for the Spanish team to lie on the credit book again. The first phase of the UEFA Champions League group stage ended a few days ago. Although three of the four La Liga teams have advanced to the top 16, the prospects are not optimistic. Four Serie A teams have also three promotions. In addition, there are three Premier League teams and two Bundesliga teams. Among the top 16 teams from the top four major leagues in Europe have reached 11 teams, which only shows that the distance between "rich countries" and "poor countries" is getting bigger in the European arena. And football "Rich Country" will argue over a question, that is, "Who is the best league in Europe?"

In fact, the results of the Champions League cannot be the only criterion for measuring the level of national leagues. It can only reflect the level of the top teams in various countries and cannot represent the overall level of a country. Supporters of Serie A believe that compared with La Liga, there are more big stars in Serie A and the game is more fierce. Many former La Liga stars are unknown in Serie A, such as Kovacevich, Claudio Lopez, Mendieta and so on. But it is undeniable that the football match is to win. In this regard, the Spanish team does better than other teams.

This season may change. Since UEFA adopted two-stage group matches in the Champions League, it is the first time that two Serie A teams have advanced to the top 16 as the first in the group, and Inter Milan has frightened the whole European football world under the leadership of Jiang Mu. Under the leadership of Inter Milan, Serie A The team is very hopeful to reshape its glory in Europe.

After losing to Inter Milan at home in the last round, there was no hope in the Juventus League. They put all their energy on the Champions League. Juventus did not have Inter Milan's dazzling tactics, but they were practical and effective.

Although Roma did not perform well in the domestic league and scored only six goals in the Champions League, they drew with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium in the penultimate round, and their status recovered. If it is thrown further and further away by Inter Milan in the domestic league, it is not ruled out the possibility that Rome will focus all its energy on the Champions League. If so, it is not difficult for Rome to enter the top eight.

On the second day of the UEFA Champions League group stage, UEFA divided the grades according to the group stage results of each team, and the 16 advanced teams will be divided into four levels. The first team is Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona and Inter Milan; the second team is Manchester United, Panathinaikos, Juventus and Leverkusen; the third team is Liverpool, Porto, Sparta Prague, A Coruña; the fourth team is Rome, Boa West, Arsenal and Alkma.

On Friday, in Geneva, Switzerland, UEFA held a group draw ceremony for the second phase of the UEFA Champions League. According to UEFA regulations, in the second phase of the Champions League, teams in the same group cannot come from the same country, and teams previously divided into the first stage cannot be re-described. In one group, 16 teams of four grades were divided into four groups:

Group A is Bayern, Manchester United, Porto and Rome.

Group B is Barcelona, Liverpool, Juventus and Alkmaar

Group C are Real Madrid, Panathinakos, Sparta Prague and Boa West

Group D is Inter Milan, Leverkusen, A Coruña, Arsenal

After the group draw ceremony, some people were happy and some were worried. The most proud thing was Real Madrid in Group C. They were extremely lucky. The worst of each level was divided into a group with him. According to the media, Real Madrid was recommended to the quarterfinals without the consumption and torture in the group stage. Real Madrid won. The probability of the Big Ear Cup has increased greatly, and now Real Madrid is already at the top of the odds of winning the championship.

The second best sign is Inter Milan in Group D. Although the strength of A Coruña and Leverkusen is not weak, it is difficult to threaten the status of Inter Milan. Their biggest possibility is to compete for the second place with Arsenal. Of course, the strength of these three teams is not bad. Inter Milan may overturn if they are not careful, and the emperor It is incomparable that Madrid's substitutes can almost qualify.

Group A and Group B became the group of death. The old enemies of Bayern and Manchester United in Group A gathered. When they were fighting for bayonets, there was a strong Rome standing next to them. A British, German and Italian Romance of the Three Kingdoms is inevitable. The poor thing is just Porto, which is also good in strength. If they are in Group C, they must be very popular, while in Group A, they will only have soy sauce.

B Barcelona and Liverpool in Group B have a lot of grudges, and the strength of Serie A giant Juventus is better than them. It is completely unpredictable who can qualify for the three teams, and they can only watch. After the former European champion Alkmaar left the head coach Jiang Mu and many main players, he is now qualified to play soy sauce. No more. Now the goal is to play a few more games to earn some pocket money.

There is no doubt that every fan who sees the second stage of the Champions League will be excited. After the first phase of the big wave, these four groups gathered all the essence of the European League, and the degree of luxury is the most in the history of the Champions League. However, due to the heavy schedule, UEFA has planned to cancel the second stage of the group stage. However, due to the impact on the income of the rich, the UEFA competition system reform has been collectively opposed by the G14. When it is cancelled is the result of the game between all parties.

Inter Milan reacted to the results of the draw. Chairman Moratti was very happy. He thought it was good to draw such a lot. He could not be as lucky as Real Madrid. He was full of confidence in the group's qualifying.

Head coach Jiang Mu reacted plainly, because he knew that Leverkusen this season was by no means easy to mess with. They rushed to the finals in the last life, but unfortunately lost to Real Madrid. In a sense, this group is also the group of death, because Leverkusen is not famous, and the risk has become greater.

Jiang Mu said after drawing lots, "This is not a good draw, but it can't be said to be a bad draw. The teams that make it into the top 16 are not easy to mess with. Even if it is Real Madrid, they need to work hard to qualify. If we want to qualify from the group, we must make a good start like the peripheral group stage, otherwise it will be unexpectedly difficult later. Difficult. Many people may think that our main enemy is Arsenal, but if you look carefully at the peripheral group stage, you will know that Leverkusen is actually the most difficult to deal with. We must be wary of them. La Coruña is not well-known, but they are La Liga champions, not dogs and cats. If anyone is too optimistic, waiting for him will be a failure.

Although Jiang Mu said so, the excited Inter Milan stars think that the coach is just Chinese modesty and a performance of respect for the opponent. They don't think Jiang Mu really thinks as he said, so after the draw, the stars of Inter Milan are optimistic about the future.

Captain Sanetti said: "In such a top 16 list, in addition to hand-selecting, such a group can satisfy us. We are now a popular group to qualify, and I also think we have the strength to qualify."

The core Pirlo said that it was stable. He said, "The three Serie A teams are in the best situation. We will try our best to seize the opportunity and strive to achieve the goal of winning the championship."

The main striker Vieri said, "The strength of this team is average. There is no super strong team. Arsenal is very strong, but their Champions League is very bad. We are not afraid of them."

After having a rift with Jiang Mu, the alien Ronaldo was more cautious in the interview and always said according to Jiang Mu's meaning, "Arsenal is a Premier League giant, Wenger is a successful coach, Leverkusen and La Coruna are powerful, in this way In a group, we must show our highest level so that we can enter the top 8.

The leader of Serie A is a little low-key, but no one dares to underestimate them. According to the latest odds of winning the top 16, Real Madrid is 7 for 2, and Inter Milan is ranked second in 6 for 1, followed by Manchester United and Bayern. Juventus and Liverpool are not in the top three, but after the 1/8 final, such odds will definitely change, and football is always full of surprises.
