536 Champions League version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms
The Bundesliga starts with one game a week, and the schedule is relatively loose.
The draw for the Champions League group stage happened to be on a Thursday night, and Bayern's players also had more time, so they all brought their families and gathered at Su Dong's house for a dinner, which turned into a team-building activity in the locker room.
The reason why this happened is because of Pepe and Marcelo.
After joining Bayern, Su Dong's commercial value further increased and he signed several major sponsorships, including TV companies from East Asia. Not long ago, they sponsored Su Dong's 100-inch ultra-large flat-screen TV.
For this TV, Su Dong simply spent another sum of money to upgrade the audio-visual system in the living room.
Pepe and Marcelo visited Sudong every now and then, and even often had meals there. They were full of praise for the big TV and audio-visual system in Sudong's living room. When they heard the UEFA Champions League group stage draw being discussed in the locker room,
The two guys immediately promised to go to Su Dong's house to have dinner and watch the lottery ceremony.
Needless to say, Ribery also has an out-of-the-box personality. With such a good thing, how can we miss him?
Greenwald is a small town, but it has good security and is a well-known wealthy area. It is close to Sebena Street, so it has become the area where Bayern players are most interested in living.
Many people in the locker room discovered that they had not visited Su Dong since he moved. They only knew from media reports that Su Dong’s villa was designed by a famous German designer. It is said that he also bought several
The design award made them very interested and wanted to visit.
After this back and forth, both Kahn and Lucio suggested that since they haven't organized any team building in the new season, they might as well take this opportunity to do a team building.
Of course everyone has no problem.
Su Dong just asked "timidly" if he could protest?
The answer is, yes, but the protest was ruthlessly dismissed!
So on the 30th day, after the team training, everyone went home, and then brought their whole family to Su Dong's house as a guest. Su Dong also specially invited a famous chef from Munich through the club early.
Food was cooked for the players and their families, and bands, circus and magicians were invited to entertain the guests, especially the children.
Finally, even Rummenigge and Heynckes, who live nearby, came.
Fortunately, Su Dong's house is large enough to accommodate many guests without any problem.
As the hostess, Wang Chuqing is naturally responsible for entertaining the players' wives and children, while Su Dong and others are simple. They all sit in the big living room, drinking freshly squeezed juice and eating delicious food. The atmosphere is incredible.
.
Due to the large number of people, some were sitting on the sofa, some on the carpet, some on the coffee table, and some simply stood, creating a very interesting scene in the huge living room.
Rummenigge and Heynckes stood at the entrance, looking at the scene in front of them, they both found it particularly interesting.
"I have already filmed this scene and sent it back to the official website. When the time comes, I will post it and show the fans that our locker room is still very united," Rummenigge said happily.
Heynckes also nodded with great satisfaction.
Bayern's dressing room is indeed very harmonious and united. This is mainly because everyone has a common desire and goal in their hearts at this stage, which is victory! Success!
Needless to say, Su Dong has been a double footballer for two consecutive years, but he is still full of hunger for honors and victories. This is not easy, and it is also what Heynckes appreciates the most, and even admires.
Although Ribery became famous in the World Cup, before joining Bayern, no wealthy team had had substantial contact with him. This somewhat means that he looks down upon him, so the French Scarface is still holding back his energy and thinking.
He wants to prove his strength and let the whole world see how strong he is.
There is also Robben. He was very unsatisfactory in the late period of Chelsea. Mourinho did not like to see him at all. Even in November last year, when Chelsea publicly contacted Malouda, Robben once said that if Chelsea introduced Malouda,
Luda, he is leaving the team.
This is already a very obvious threat, but does Chelsea care about it?
Wouldn't the Blues still introduce Malouda and then negotiate a contract extension with Robben?
This is definitely a big humiliation for Robben, because it means that his status in the Chelsea team has plummeted, and he is not even taken seriously by the coaching staff and management.
Therefore, when the Dutch Peter Pan moved to Bayern, he said that he would prove himself again here.
Head coach Heynckes said he wanted to prove himself, Su Dong also said he wanted to prove himself again, Ribery and Robben did the same, and other Bayern players also wanted to prove themselves again after experiencing the trough of last season.
Aren't you, plus Marcelo, Modric, Mascherano and others thinking about proving your strength?
Su Dong is right, Bayern is an Avengers!
At this time, players are most united and most likely to achieve results.
"We have a lot to do this season!" Heynckes chuckled.
Last season, he won the Bundesliga championship that had not been seen for more than ten years, and now he is very ambitious.
"No matter who is drawn, we are confident of defeating our opponent!"
…
The drawing of lots and the awarding of prizes are held in parallel.
Regarding the awards, Su Dong and the Bayern players didn't take it seriously because it had nothing to do with them.
In the draw, there is no suspense for the eight seeded teams and they are divided into eight groups.
Manchester United, Liverpool, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Chelsea are all the strongest teams in European football today. There is no doubt about this.
Chelsea only successfully entered the first seeding team this year. This shows that Abramovich’s investment over the years has indeed been fruitful, because the Champions League classification takes into account the performance of the European Champions League in the past five seasons.
points, and Abramovich has only been in charge of Chelsea for four years.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, the appearance of a behemoth like Bayern in the second tier team will undoubtedly put great pressure on all seeded teams, so in the draw
At the scene, when it was time to draw the second team, the atmosphere became obviously tense.
The atmosphere in the living room was equally tense, and everyone was discussing who was not so bad.
"Real Madrid or Arsenal." Su Dong smiled and gave his answer.
Other people have different opinions, some agree and disagree.
Su Dong’s explanation for this is that Real Madrid looks very strong, but in fact it is not that good, and they have not been able to advance from the top 16 in the past few years. “Luck may be one aspect, but lack of strength is definitely a factor.
"
"In the knockout rounds of the Champions League, no matter how good you are, it's useless if you don't have strength. Therefore, in the 2003-04 season, teams such as Valencia, Porto, Monaco and Deportivo La Coruna were able to rise. This is not without reason."
"What about Arsenal? This team is not weak." Modric asked.
Before joining Bayern, he almost went to Arsenal. Wenger admired him very much at the time.
"Arsenal feels a little rich now. In order to build a new stadium, Wenger is also cutting back and dieting, selling Vieira and Henry one after another. There are too many young players in the Gunners. Wenger's goal should be the former Premier League players.
Fourth, there is still the Champions League group qualifying."
They are also preparing to build a new stadium. Bayern also invested huge sums of money in the Allianz Arena, but they still invested a large amount of money in the transfer market. On the contrary, Arsenal was unwilling to do so. This is the business philosophy between the two.
difference.
Of course, there are also practical considerations.
For example, Bayern is confident that after investing huge sums of money, it can achieve immediate results in the Bundesliga, while Arsenal feels that even if they invest huge sums of money, it will be difficult to make a difference in the Premier League. As for the Champions League, this is even more important.
Face.
Everyone agreed that it was reasonable, but some people had reservations.
Football, everyone has different eyes, and everyone has their own different understanding. This is the most interesting thing about football.
…
Bayern's luck is indeed quite good.
Because in the subsequent draw, Bayern was drawn into a group with Real Madrid.
This can only be said to be that among the eight seeded teams, we encountered relatively better ones.
But this brings up another problem, that is, Bayern will go to the Bernabeu for the first game.
This will be a very difficult test, because for Bayern, now is the time to be complacent. If they do not play well in the away game, it is likely to damage the team's morale, which will cause a chain reaction.
However, in the draw of the third group of teams, luck was not so good. After avoiding two teams from the same country, Bayern's group did not draw the weakest team Steaua Bucharest, nor did it draw the opposite team.
The weaker Celtic, or Marseille who had already lost Franck Ribery, drew the strongest Lazio.
This is very tricky.
Real Madrid, Bayern and Lazio, three teams in the same group, could capsize at any time.
The last draw was Olympiacos from Greece.
When the lottery was over, everyone in the living room was talking about it.
This time's draw cannot be said to be bad, but it is not much better. The main reason is that Lazio was drawn in the third pot, which is quite unlucky.
As a team in the second tier, Bayern really has no choice. They will definitely encounter a strong team in the first tier.
Now, I will give you the whole Romance of the Three Kingdoms. What’s more terrible is, who is Cao Cao? Who is Sun Liu?
And from the perspective of the schedule, Bayern is indeed relatively disadvantaged, because they have to go to the Bernabeu for the first game, which is really a huge challenge, especially considering that Bayern has many international players. They have just participated in the national competition for two weeks.
Bernabeu, this is very difficult.
What's even more terrible is that before facing the Bernabeu, Bayern's opponent in the fifth round of the league was Schalke, one of the favorites to win the championship.
In the fourth round of the league, that is, this weekend, Bayern will travel north to Hamburg to challenge Beijing King away from home.
It can be said that such a schedule is a considerable test for even a team as powerful as Bayern.
If you are not careful, you may be pulled down directly.
Heynckes and Rummenigge also knew this clearly, so after the draw results came out, they reminded the players to stay focused, especially in the next two weeks of national team games, there are thousands of players
