The trend of the first UEFA Champions League B competition did not exceed outside expectations. Millwall and Arsenal took first place in the two groups and advanced to the knockout rounds.
However, there were jaw-dropping results in the A-level competition.
Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Juventus all failed in the group stage!
Of course, if you look at the teams that advanced to the knockout rounds, this result is not too surprising.
Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea.
The top 8 are announced.
There is no avoidance principle in the division lottery. The first place in the group can play against the first place in the group, and teams from the same country will not avoid it.
No matter who among the top eight meets anyone, it will be an eye-catching battle!
After streamlining the schedule, in the second half of the season, the knockout rounds of the European Super League can focus on having only one peak battle on the match day! Maximize the benefits! Keep the outside world's continuous attention to the event.
It can be said that in addition to the winter break and the time before and after, in other competition periods, the first UEFA Super League only looked at the income from the group stage, which has completely surpassed the previous Champions League!
For these giants that have advanced to the knockout rounds, the challenge may not only be the difficulty of the knockout rounds.
It also includes those who have eliminated competitors from the same country from the group stage and put pressure on the league. If they want to get tickets for the European Super League next season, the local league is a guarantee, although it is only a comparison of rankings between club members within the league, such as the Premier League.
, if Bolton wins the league runner-up, but Bolton is not a member of the European Elite League, they are also not eligible for tickets. Even if Bolton applies to join, it will take another season at the earliest. But first, he must be approved.
Fleet Street are bragging about the first UEFA Champions League!
Why?
The Premier League is prosperous!
The Premier League accounts for four of the top 8 places!
Although Arsenal would probably have a similar fate to Liverpool if they were assigned to the A-level competition, at least Arsenal also advanced through a series of thrilling battles in the B-level competition.
It is a pity that three of the four Premier League teams are divided into one and a half zones!
There is no way, the probability of encountering oneself is very high.
Furthermore, this at least prevented one Premier League team from entering the semi-finals.
In the first half of the zone, the top three of the Premier League are encircling Inter Milan.
The other half is Millwall vs Bayern Munich, Barcelona vs AC Milan.
Millwall's senior management actually has a very good relationship with Bayern Munich's senior management.
But in the eyes of the fans, this duel is definitely a battle between enemies!
Let’s not talk about the past grudges between the two teams in the Champions League. Just look at the coaches. Aldrich and Van Gaal have been what the media calls “dead enemies” for a long time.
End of February.
Millwall visit the Allianz Arena.
Bayern Munich is now also entering a period of strong upward momentum.
In addition to the growth of local German players such as Piglet and Badstuber, it also includes the recruitment of top offensive combinations such as Franck Ribery and Robben.
Millwall has both gains and losses this season. There are frequent B-level matches in the UEFA Super League. They lost the League Cup early on their home soil and focused on the league and European wars. Fortunately, other competitors lost ground due to European wars in the early stage.
It's too cruel. The league record fluctuates greatly. Millwall also has record fluctuations, but the fluctuations are smaller and more stable than other teams. On the contrary, its advantage in the league is as obvious as ever.
Leading the fiercely fighting Lions to the Allianz Arena, Aldrich didn't take Van Gaal seriously at all!
You have Ribery and Robben, I have Messi and Ronaldo.
You have it, I am better than you!
What you don’t have, I still have many, many more!
But it has to be said that after Klinsmann's reform failed last season, Bayern Munich's arrival marked the beginning of its return to the top ranks.
But, they are still on the way!
We are far from reaching the peak.
Robben, Ribery, and Olic performed well in the home game, but the weakness of the midfielder is too obvious!
Van Gaal decisively asked the team to counterattack at home, while Millwall counterattacked away from home!
When Aldridge came to the first European Super League, he completely abandoned the idea of utilitarianism.
It is conceivable that when he has a group of players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, and Kaká, if he plays utilitarian football, it will only restrict the players and not stimulate them better!
Over time, it will also be detrimental to the development of the team. It could have made breakthroughs, breakthroughs, and breakthroughs at the limit!
But maybe because of utilitarian ideas, the team stayed at what they thought was the ultimate height.
Based on their strong midfield control, Millwall performed brilliantly at the Allianz Arena!
In the 31st minute of the first half, Ramos made a pass from the wing, and Villa made a false shot in the middle. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was outflanked from behind, jumped over the top and sent the ball into the goal. It has to be said that Bayern Munich's performance during this period
The goalkeeper position is a flaw! Especially the chaotic situation in the penalty area was handled extremely poorly!
But Bayern Munich counterattacked before the end of the first half, with Robben and Ribery approaching the same side and playing a small range of exquisite cooperation.
Although Robben's final blow was blocked by Buffon, the elusive Olic fired the ball into the goal, causing Millwall to concede the first goal in the past five games in the European competition.
In the second half, Millwall still did not stop attacking. The most important part of the third-generation Mad Lions' skills and tactics was to attack in the east and in the west.
On the left and right, they continuously attack all the way and then quickly transfer. After that transfer is successful, both Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have greater freedom. The team creates space for them to perform individually, and then at the appropriate time
Sometimes, they need a personal outburst!
And when the threats from both wings are revealed, Kaká and Villa in the middle will play the role of unexpected killers. It can be said that Millwall has been able to achieve the tactical height of hiding attack points from all angles, and
Use it flexibly and play freely.
In the 72nd minute of the game, Messi sent a wonderful through ball after continuous breakthroughs on the right. Villa and Kaká crossed paths, which made Van Buyten even more embarrassed. Villa scored with a low shot from a small angle and regained the lead.
score.
Not to be outdone at home, Bayern Munich launched a furious attack. However, 10 minutes later, Ronaldo staged a long-distance attack and then passed a ground ball diagonally across a wide area to assist Messi!
Messi's goal looks simple and unpretentious, but Ronaldo's assist is amazing!
It passed between the midfielder and the defender. The ball was still close to the ground, and the speed was so fast that the defensive player was just one body away from reaching it. If he took a step forward and intercepted it, it would be half a second too late!
At the end of the game, Van Gaal looked ugly. Bayern Munich has made great progress this season compared to last season. After Klinsmann left last season, Heynckes temporarily took charge of the team and went to Lever after helping the team win the thrilling championship.
Kusenlu
Newly, Wolfsburg, who was supposed to be able to counterattack, was unable to counterattack Bayern due to the aggressive recruitment of European giants. Dzeko was poached at a high price in the summer of 2008, which led to the Bundesliga being unable to rely on Grafit alone.
Munich.
The Allianz battle came to an end. Millwall defeated Bayern Munich 3:1 in an away game and entered the quarterfinals with one foot.
After defeating a bunch of second-tier league champions in the group stage, Millwall defeated the Bundesliga champion again!
Two weeks later in the game at the Lion King Stadium, Bayern Munich lost by the same score. The total score was 6:2 and they were eliminated by Millwall.
In a dialogue with the other two top teams in the same half, Barcelona defeated AC Milan to advance to the semi-finals and met Millwall in the semi-finals.
In the other half, Mourinho led Inter Milan to eliminate his old club Chelsea, and Manchester United defeated Arsenal in the Premier League civil war.
At the end of March, Millwall faced the challenge of Barcelona at home.
At this time, Barcelona's coach was already Guardiola.
He single-handedly transformed Barcelona's technical and tactical system and made subversive changes.
This is the success of a tactical system.
The same applies to the Spanish national team. As represented by Spain's victory in the 2008 European Cup, Barcelona took the passing and control tactics to the extreme.
However, this is definitely weaker than Barcelona in the original history.
The tactical system created by Guardiola is successful, but a successful technical and tactical system does not mean that it has brought an absolutely overwhelming advantage to the team.
Just like, when Juventus dominated the Apennines, didn't they have a solid technical and tactical system?
For so many years, hasn’t Manchester United had a technical and tactical system that is deeply rooted in people’s minds?
Are those technical and tactical systems unsuccessful?
Of course they are all successful.
The key still depends on the players.
For example, Barcelona's technical and tactical system remains unchanged, but if Xavi is replaced by another midfield organizational player, will the team's combat effectiveness be the same?
Of course not, and it will be greatly reduced.
In the same way, if Manchester United had half a team of world-class players, Ferguson's tactics, which are always reminiscent of retro and traditional tactics, would be equally powerful.
To say how disruptive Barcelona is, it doesn’t have a strong impact now, because there is Millwall. No matter how exquisite teamwork or passing pressure they play, the first generation of Millwall and the second generation of Mad Lions,
Continuing to the third generation of Crazy Lion, there are classics that are more outstanding than them.
With Jade in front, it is naturally difficult to launch a huge impact. However, the success of this technical and tactical system has been effective for the Spanish national team, helping Spain lose the title of King of Qualifiers and truly stand on the front line.
At the pinnacle of European football, the huge response caused by this is naturally unique.
Because although the technical and tactical system is important, it has not yet reached a level where it can absolutely control destiny. Aldridge has only put the importance of players first from the first day of coaching to the present, even in the future. This is
Hard power!
As for Guardiola, Aldridge won't be excited about playing against him.
With Mourinho's previous experience of fighting against him, Aldrich understood the fact: he was born at the wrong time!
Well, this refers to Guardiola and Mourinho.
Aldridge started earlier than them, and this lead was huge. By the time everyone met to compete, Aldridge had become a behemoth, the ultimate boss that the opponent and even all contemporary coaches racked their brains to defeat. (Think of it.)
