Chapter 189 Old Terrier

Inter Milan, Werder Bremen, and Manchester City are in the same group, which is UEFA's "old jokes come up with new ideas".

Because there are many stories between Inter Milan and Manchester City, Werder Bremen and Glory.

Werder Bremen is the first team in the true sense that Glory played after landing in Europe - Bayern Munich signed Glory at that time, Glory was loaned to Werder Bremen without playing a formal game for Bayern Munich. He stayed at Werder Bremen for two years and adapted to the European league at Werder Bremen, becoming an unknown player in European football to the top scorer in the Champions League.

He had a very pleasant two seasons at Werder Bremen. If it weren't for the fact that Werder Bremen's not very strong strength, Glory would have been able to stay in Werder Bremen for a few more seasons.

But in the end he chose to end his loan and return to Bayern Munich.

He reached the peak of his career at Bayern Munich and won the Champions League.

Until now, that has been the highest peak of his career and has not yet surpassed it.

He may have some conflicts with Bayern Munich Club before, but his relationship with Werder Bremen is very good.

When he played for Bayern Munich, every time he returned to Werder Bremen's Wiess Stadium, he would be warmly welcomed by Werder Bremen fans. Even if he led Bayern Munich to defeat Werder Bremen, Werder Bremen's fans would not insult or complain about glory.

Their love for glory is the simplest kind, similar to first love - both of them keep their best side forever in each other's hearts, and this memory will not change color with the passage of time and the changes of the world.

Unlike last season when he was separated from Bayern Munich, this time with Werder Bremen, there is no such thing as "revenge". The Glory Club Wissel Stadium is like returning home, and Werder Bremen comes to Manchester to play like visiting an old friend who has not seen him for many years.

So when Manchester City's draw was drawn, the TV broadcast quickly cut to the face of Werder Bremen's general manager Alovs, and he shook his face with a smile.

Being parted with Rongguang, Werder Bremen's hope of qualifying became slim in an instant, but the expression on Alovs' face was not bitter and revenge.

The only regret may be Gao Lin, who missed the opportunity to stage a "Chinese derby" with Rongguang in the Champions League. Now he is a member of Barcelona and is preparing for the new season of La Liga with Barcelona.

Barcelona eventually spent 20,000 euros to bring him from Werder Bremen to Camp Nou to replace the vacancy after Ibrahimovic left.

When he went to Barcelona, ​​many people thought he was here to play as a substitute.

However, with the outstanding performance in the season training and warm-up matches, everyone has discovered that Gao Lin may really be able to occupy a starting position.

After Werder Bremen lost Gao Lin, their strength was greatly affected, which also affected their prospects for qualifying. Perhaps Alovs was already prepared for the group stage, so after seeing Rong Guang as a group with them, he would only smile.

The other opponent, Inter Milan, Manchester City, and their match can be regarded as a "fight of revenge".

In the semi-finals last season, Manchester City lost to Inter Milan led by Mourinho.

Manchester City was in full swing at that time. If they could beat Inter Milan, I believe they would definitely win the Champions League title.

Now that the two teams meet again, Manchester City will definitely have a good talk with Inter Milan.

Although Inter Milan is the defending champion, Mourinho, the team's soul, has left the team, so when facing Manchester City again, it is hard to say whether Inter Milan can still have an advantage over Manchester City.

Although Manchester City, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are not divided into one group, UEFA is very clear that there is more than just one combination of stories.

Werder Bremen and Inter Milan are divided into one group, and the media has a lot to hype. The four games these three teams face each other will definitely not have low ratings, and sponsors will be happy at that time.

It's really a joy to everyone.

After the three teams in this group came out, no one cared about who the fourth team was. No matter who they met with these three teams, they were all the roles of accompanying the prince to study.

The last fourth team came out was Twente from Eredivisie.

Twente was the dark horse of the Eredivisie last season. They won the Eredivisie last season, and they broke out from traditional strong teams such as Ajax, Eindhoven and Feyenoord, and finally won the league championship.

Of course, in the previous few seasons, from the 2UU267 season, Twente ranked very well in the Eredivisie League, and participated in the Europa League and the Champions League qualifiers in a row.

For this team, these years have been one of the rare peak periods in their team's history.

However, such a team is not enough to watch in Group A, the "death group".

No one will have fantasies about their qualifying group.

Twente is definitely the target of the other three teams.

After finally winning a league championship, I can directly participate in the Champions League group stage, but I encountered three fierce opponents. Twente's luck is really not very good...

After the lottery results came out, Rongguang was surrounded by reporters outside the hall.

Everyone wants to hear what he thinks about the results of this grouping.

"I only focus on doing my own thing." Rongguang answered very formulaic.

Naturally, the reporters would not be satisfied with such an answer. Someone asked him: "Is the match with Inter Milan a battle of revenge?"

"We will aim to defeat him by any opponent, and we will do the same for Inter Milan." Rongguang paused. "But after last season's semi-finals, we met Inter Milan so quickly, which is indeed a little different."

He also expressed his attitude towards Inter Milan in a tactful manner.

How could Glory be in the face of Inter Milan?

The Champions League was eliminated, but Rong Guang has always been worried about it.

And not only glory, but also Manchester City are resentful of being eliminated in the semi-finals.

Manchester City was exhausted from fighting Barcelona before, and the whole team was not in shape, so they were eliminated by Inter Milan.

If Manchester City had been in better condition at the time, there were not so many injuries and suspensions, they might have been able to eliminate Inter Milan.

Because Inter Milan was overall balanced at the time, but there were no particularly outstanding stars. Manchester City had glory, Sneijder, David Silva...

"So what about returning to the Wessel Stadium?" asked a German reporter.

"I'm looking forward to it." Rongguang said with a smile. He was very happy when he returned to Bremen.

He hasn't returned to the Wissel Stadium for two years since he left the Bundesliga, and he really misses it.

Alovs was also very happy to meet Rong Guang again: "Football is round, everything is possible. So I won't say that we will lose the game when we meet Rong. But I'm looking forward to being able to fight Rong again, which was a reunion like an old friend."

What about Inter Milan?

After Mourinho left, Leonardo took over his coaching position.

Leonardo also coached AC Milan last season. He took over Ancelotti, who left AC Milan at the time. However, in the two home and away derby in the league, AC Milan led by Leonardo lost to Inter Milan with one 04 and one 02. He lost six goals in two games, but not a single goal was scored.

So much so that Inter Milan had banners to thank Leonardo for giving Leonardo, which made Leonardo like Inter Milan undercover. At that time, two Milan fans in China also had similar comments, saying that Leonardo was true love for Inter Milan.

As a result, Leonardo really went to Inter Milan to coach

When the news was announced, Inter Milan fans and AC Milan fans didn't know what to say.

As the head coach, Leonardo's coaching at AC Milan cannot be said to be successful, but at least he helped AC Milan qualify for the Champions League this season.

He went to Inter Milan in the new season, and his predecessor was Mourinho. If he was too successful, he would be under greater pressure. He had to always face the situation where people compared him with Inter Milan.

This season's Champions League group stage, he was assigned to Manchester City and he didn't play in one game. Leonardo had already felt the deep malice from this world...

"Manchester City believes that the match against Inter Milan will be a battle of revenge. Mr. Leonardo, what do you think?" a reporter asked.

The tone was quite respectful, but Leonardo still felt the malice of the questioner...

"Manchester City has their reasons for thinking so, but what we should do is play our own game well, not care about others. I respect Manchester City, they are a very strong team, and Inter Milan will do their best when facing them."

Leonardo's answer is considered to be neither humble nor arrogant, and he still has some confidence.

His confidence also comes from a source - he led the team to defeat Roma in the Italian Super Cup, won the Italian Super Cup, with six championships in a year, and he has won four. There are still one Club World Cup and the European Super Cup.

The Club World Cup is basically no difficulty. As long as you can win the European Super Cup, Inter Milan will become the second team to become the six-champion team after Barcelona.

However, in the following European Super Cup, Inter Milan lost to Atletico Madrid 02. Atletico Madrid, Reyes and Aguero each scored one goal, while Inter Milan failed to score one goal.

The Champions League champion lost to the UEFA Cup champion.

This result made Inter Milan fans very dissatisfied. They originally hoped that Leonardo could continue the good cards left by Mourinho and win a six-champ, just like Barcelona.

What's the result?

The European Super Cup flew

Inter Milan will never catch up with Barcelona. Even if they win the Club World Cup, they will be at most a five-time champion, and they are still not as good as Barcelona.

After losing this game, Italy was filled with overwhelming booing at Leonardo.

Even the senior executives of Inter Milan revealed that Do Leonardo had lost the European Super Cup.

"Turin Sports" mocked Leonardo and Inter Milan: "...Look at their poor performance in the European Super Cup. Facing a team like Atletico Madrid, there is no way to fight back. Leonardo still thinks he can beat Manchester City? It seems that Manchester City is destined to succeed in revenge."

"Turin Sports" is the mouthpiece of Juventus. Juventus and Inter Milan are feuds. The games between them are called "Italian national derby", so "Turin Sports" is happy to see Inter Milan make a fool of themselves.
