After the UEFA Champions League group draw results came out, all major media outlets were interpreting the draws and expressing their opinions.
England's "The Times" published an article claiming that the draw of Premier League teams was mixed.
Of course I'm happy that a Premier League team got the lottery!
The Premier League teams that got the lottery are Manchester United and Crystal Palace. These two Premier League teams have basically obtained the top 16 places. Because this group is really too easy, as long as nothing happens, these two teams will definitely enter.
.
After all, Manchester United's opponents in the same group are Benfica, Basel and CSKA Moscow. Manchester United was drawn as a second-tier team. It was lucky to be drawn to Benfica, the first-tier team, and not to draw other giants.
.
In the opinion of "The Times", Manchester United should be the luckiest team in the Premier League and got the best lottery.
The Crystal Palace is second.
The Crystal Palace group seems to have a huge gap in strength. Crystal Palace should be the only one in this group. Neither Sevilla, nor Spartak Moscow, nor Maribor can stop Crystal Palace from moving forward.
, Crystal Palace’s promotion is certain!
Then after these two teams, other Premier League teams have not had good luck.
Of course, Manchester City's luck is pretty good!
They were also drawn with teams in the second tier, but they poked Shakhtar Donetsk, the weakest team in the first tier, and knocked them unconscious. But in the third tier, they drew Naples.
Feyenoord was drawn in the fourth round. These two teams still have some strength, and they are a bit like a small group of death.
Although in the opinion of reporters from The Times, Manchester City's strength should still far exceed these teams, and promotion should not be a big problem. However, these teams still have the strength to become dark horses, so Manchester City
You have to be careful here.
Otherwise, Manchester City is very likely to capsize.
Then Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur had particularly bad luck!
Especially Chelsea's luck. As a first-tier team participating in the draw, they were not as lucky as Manchester United and Manchester City. I was really pissed off.
Chelsea was drawn into the real group of death. In this group they also have Atletico Madrid and Roma. These two teams are very strong. Chelsea may not really be able to defeat these two teams. There is only the fourth tier.
Karabakh is considered a soft persimmon, but the other three teams can almost handle this soft persimmon, so they are still on the same starting line. It is somewhat difficult for Chelsea to advance.
Even "The Times" reporter Webster believed that it would be very difficult for Chelsea to advance.
The worst thing is Tottenham Hotspur. Even The Times has claimed that Tottenham Hotspur should now be able to prepare for the Europa League in advance. If they can this season If they can win the Europa League, it's hard to say that they will still have a chance to participate in the Champions League next season.
Yes, The Times is really not optimistic about Tottenham Hotspur.
After all, Tottenham Hotspur's luck is indeed very bad.
Tottenham Hotspur, the fourth-tier Greek team in the group, is not very competitive and should not be able to stop Tottenham Hotspur. However, the other two teams in this group are Real Madrid and
Dortmund and Tottenham Hotspur may not be able to defeat these two teams.
Therefore, many people think that Tottenham Hotspur can only finish third in this group.
Tottenham Hotspur should have no chance of qualifying.
Judging from the predictions of The Times, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are really unlucky and very dangerous. They may not be able to reach the top 16. It seems that the Premier League wants to do it all this season.
The dream of a top-four finish in the Champions League is almost shattered.
However, Chelsea fans still have great confidence in their team.
Although they know that Atletico Madrid and Roma are good, the gap between them and Chelsea is still quite big. After all, Chelsea was the runner-up in the Premier League last season, but they only made it at the last moment of the last round of the league.
Losing the league championship is enough to show that Chelsea's strength is not much worse than that of Crystal Palace!
Therefore, it should be impossible for Atletico Madrid and Roma to defeat Chelsea and advance.
Chelsea people are very confident in their team!
The "Guardian" and "Daily Mail" also believe that although Chelsea has entered a group of death, they all believe in Chelsea. Chelsea's strength should still be stronger than other teams. In this group
There should be no problem for Chelsea to advance.
However, their views on Tottenham Hotspur are exactly the same as those of The Times. They all reminded Tottenham Hotspur to prepare for the Europa League!
This season's UEFA Champions League should have nothing to do with Tottenham Hotspur.
Then for the other three teams, the opinions of these two media are similar to those of The Times. These three teams are all pretty lucky, and there should be no big problem in advancing!
Therefore, generally speaking, although this lottery result is not a top draw for the Premier League, it can barely be considered a top draw. Four teams in the Premier League are expected to advance, and there is no way it can be repeated this season.
In the heyday of the Premier League, these media reporters are waiting patiently.
The foreign media and the Times
Shi Bao also had a similar view.
They all feel that Manchester United and Crystal Palace are really lucky, especially the defending champion Crystal Palace. Seeing this grouping, they all feel that Crystal Palace has advanced to the top 16 of the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League ahead of schedule.
There is even a lot of media generated, which is simply sending Crystal Palace away!
Perhaps it is because this season's UEFA Champions League final will be held at Tongyi Stadium. UEFA is somewhat interested in sending Crystal Palace to the finals. If Crystal Palace is allowed to enter the final, it will be difficult to compete with other teams at Tongyi Stadium.
Competing for the UEFA Champions League this season is really full of topics and influence!
Perhaps for this reason, UEFA gave Crystal Palace a group that looked very weak and posed no challenge. Sure enough, the host was treated like a host!
After the draw results came out, some media reporters even questioned the fairness of UEFA!
Many media outlets are claiming that this draw was conducted behind closed doors!
Obviously, UEFA intends to help the Premier League, and even intends to arrange a very weak opponent for Crystal Palace to ensure that Crystal Palace enters the final!
They wildly criticized UEFA's fairness and impartiality, and expressed their great disappointment.
Even Italian media reporters have expressed their dissatisfaction many times, and even cursed UEFA executives and Infantino crazily. Because they feel that UEFA is targeting Italy!
Since the Calciopoli scandal in 2006, their Serie A league has been targeted.
Especially this season!
This season, three Serie A teams have advanced to the top 32 of the Champions League. However, except for Juventus, who has a pretty good draw in the first tier, the other two teams have been classified into the group of death. This is not
What is the Serie A team targeting them?
Look at how pitiful Rome and Naples are?
Even the Juventus group had a little trouble. After all, Sporting Lisbon is quite capable. They were upset on New Year's Day. It's possible that Juventus will also be eliminated.
According to Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport", Italian teams have been targeted in this season's UEFA Champions League group stage, and it is very likely that they will all be eliminated at the end of the group stage.
They were very unhappy and cursed UEFA and Infantino. Isn't this a secret operation?
Really shameless!
Of course, the German media have also expressed their dissatisfaction. They also feel that their German team has also been targeted, arranged, and manipulated in secret. Their Bundesliga has also had three teams advance to the top 32 this season, namely Bayern Munich,
Dortmund and Leipzig .But the result of this draw is slightly better than Bayern Munich, but it is not particularly safe. There are also Paris Saint-Germain, Anderlecht and Celtic in this group. These teams all have
With a certain level of strength, it is possible for this group to suffer a big upset.
As for Leipzig RB and Dortmund, both were assigned to a death group, and they were obviously targeted. It is more difficult for these two teams to advance.
Especially Dortmund. They have to compete with Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur. They are also very likely to be eliminated. It is very likely that only Bayern Munich can reach the top 16 this season, and it is even possible.
The entire group was wiped out!
Isn't this what the German team is against them?
UEFA operates behind the scenes, it’s too dark.
The draw groups of La Liga this season are actually pretty good. Except for Atletico Madrid, which was a little short of the draw and was placed in the group of death, the other three teams seem to be very stable. It should be no problem to advance to the top 16.
The problem is. Of course, Real Madrid is also classified into the group of death, but everyone feels that even in the group of death, Real Madrid should definitely get a spot, so this is not targeted.
The result of the La Liga draw was very good.
But compared with Premier League teams, it's still a little worse. Of course, compared with Crystal Palace, it's even worse!
The more they think about it, the more angry they feel. The damn Crystal Palace people are really lucky. If this season’s Champions League final had not been held at the Tongyi Stadium, you Crystal Palace would definitely not have been able to draw such a good lottery. You guys
Crystal Palace was given a walk-off by UEFA.
Damn UEFA, they are doing secret operations every year, damn it!
To be honest, Tong Yi was really speechless when he saw these remarks. The draw result of the Crystal Palace group was indeed a good one, and their Crystal Palace was indeed lucky. But this can show that UEFA is guaranteeing their Crystal Palace.
? You are really too superficial.
Of course, Tong Yi is also very satisfied with the result of this draw. He also thinks that their probability of advancing is as high as 999. This draw is really perfect.
Even after the fund-raising was completed, Tong Yi accepted an interview with media reporters. He said, "I am completely satisfied with the result of the lottery. Our luck is really good. I think we won
With such a pick, promotion should be certain. After all, we are the defending champions, so we still have this strength and confidence. However, after advancing to the top 16, we cannot be careless. Those who can advance to the top 16 are strong
If we face any team, we must go all out! So guys, don’t be too complacent, just calm down, prepare well, and play game by game! Now,
Let’s all focus on preparing for the game against Swansea!”
