Regarding the Champions League draw, there used to be an unspoken rule, which was to meet your old club.
For example, last season, many media and fans speculated that Bayern would encounter Su Dong's former club Barcelona.
Unexpectedly, we didn't meet them in the group stage, but met them in the quarterfinals.
Now, Bayern is once again drawing lots in the group stage, and may encounter Sudong's former club, Sporting Lisbon of the Portuguese Super League.
Frankly speaking, Su Dong was sitting in the Grimaldi Conference Center and really expected the team to meet Sporting Lisbon.
Because among the other seven teams in the second tier except Werder Bremen, Sporting Lisbon is relatively weak.
The biggest headaches are definitely Real Madrid and Juventus.
As expected, Bayern's luck was not so good. The teams in the second pot did not draw teams such as Sporting Lisbon or PSV, but were drawn to Real Madrid again.
This made the atmosphere in the venue a little restless.
Especially Real Madrid's representative at the meeting, general manager Mijatovic, stood up from his seat and wanted to see clearly whether the note in the ball said Real Madrid?
Isn't this too unlucky?
Drawn to Bayern in the group stage for two consecutive seasons?
It's really bad luck, isn't it?
When Real Madrid summed up the experience and lessons of last season's failure to reach the top 16, one of the most important ones was that they only finished second in the group stage and were forced to challenge their group's first place in the knockout round of the top 16. This is very important for Real Madrid.
That said, it's really quite disadvantageous.
But now, it's good, we were drawn against Bayern again.
"Now I'm really starting to wonder if there's something shady?" Su Dong smiled bitterly.
Is it really just luck to be drawn against Real Madrid for two consecutive seasons?
Of course, in fact, no matter who is drawn, the difference is not very big for Bayern. Teams such as Roma and Villarreal are not necessarily easier to deal with than Real Madrid. It can only be said that Real Madrid has a relatively good background.
More adequate.
If drawing Real Madrid in the second pot is unlucky, then drawing Zenit St. Petersburg in the third pot is really a shady situation.
Su Dong's first reaction when he saw the lottery results was to laugh.
"It turns out that Tymoshchuk encountered his former employer!"
Everyone also smiled.
In fact, the flow of professional players in Europe is very frequent now, and the only teams capable of playing in the Champions League are those. Coming and going, many teams will definitely encounter their old clubs, especially in a draw like this, the probability of encountering them is actually very high.
big.
However, Bayern's luck is really bad.
Real Madrid was drawn in the second pot, and last season's UEFA Cup winner was drawn in the third pot. Is there anything worse than this?
What's even more interesting is that in tomorrow's European Super Cup, Bayern will face Zenit St. Petersburg in advance.
Isn't this a preview of the Champions League group stage?
When Lucio saw this sign, he felt really depressed and immediately said harsh words.
"If you have the ability, draw Fiorentina or Shakhtar Donetsk for me in the fourth round. If you do, I will go on stage to verify the ball and solve this shady mystery with my own hands!"
The Bayern crowd also started to cheer after hearing this, thinking that it would be good if they really got Viola Viola and Shakhtar Donetsk.
At least, you can see the wonderful scene of the Brazilian central defender tearing apart the UEFA Champions League draw trick, right?
UEFA must have monitored Lucio's harsh words, so they gave in. The fourth team was drawn to Bayern by BATE Borisov of Belarus. This team is not strong, but the away game is more disgusting.
Especially according to the schedule, when Bayern goes to Belarus to play an away game, it happens to be the end of November, which is even more terrible.
"It seems that we have to win all the first four rounds so that we can have a relatively relaxed time when we go to Belarus." Lahm said while analyzing the situation in the group stage.
"The third and fourth rounds were against Real Madrid at home and away, which was quite troublesome." Schweinsteiger also looked embarrassed.
Su Dong chuckled, "It's okay, I'm familiar with the Bernabeu!"
Everyone fell down laughing.
…
Along with the draw results, there are also the major UEFA awards from last season.
Su Dong won the two most important awards, the Forward of the Season and the Player of the Season. He became the player who gained the most that night and was also highly praised by the audience.
This award is known as the benchmark for the World Footballer and the Ballon d'Or. Su Dong's winning of this award again after two years of absence is undoubtedly the hottest news that attracts the attention of media and fans around the world.
Everyone knows that Su Dong made harsh words as early as half a year ago that he would win the double Footballer of the Year title in 2008, and now that he has won these two awards, he is undoubtedly one step closer to his goal.
Judging from the performance in the European Cup, there is really no player from any team who can compete with Su Dong.
Although Spain won the championship, like runner-up Germany, they played overall football. As a result, there were no obviously outstanding stars in the team, and naturally they were unable to compete with Sudong.
The best midfielder of the season was awarded to Franck Ribery, which is not surprising because Zidane was in charge of awarding the award.
The competition for the best defender of the season was between Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand and Vidic. In the end, Ferdinand was slightly better.
It is said that the reason why it was Ferdinand was mainly because Vidic was beaten so badly by Su Dong in the Champions League final.
This actually made Su Dong feel a little embarrassed, as if he had become a dragon BOSS in the eyes of others.
The best goalkeeper of the season was given to Edwin van der Sar, and this is indeed deserved.
Although Kahn was the main player last season, his performance was not very stable. On the contrary, Van der Sar performed quite well.
…
As usual, after the draw, the participating representatives will be interviewed by on-site media reporters.
The first to bear the brunt is the unlucky Real Madrid.
Being placed in the same group as last season's Champions League champions and UEFA Cup champions, Real Madrid's luck is really bad.
But this feels somewhat self-inflicted. Who has made Real Madrid stop in the top 16 in recent years?
If we continue to compete in the top 16, we will definitely still be in the second gear, and there is even a possibility of slipping to the third gear if we are not careful.
Mijatovic was not satisfied with the draw result. He believed that Real Madrid's luck was indeed bad.
He admitted that both Bayern and Zenit St. Petersburg will bring a lot of trouble to Real Madrid. These two teams are very powerful, especially Bayern, with a superstar like Su Dong, which makes this Bundesliga giant even more powerful.
Becoming the number one favorite in the Champions League this season is an opponent that no team wants to face.
But Mijatovic is also confident, "If you want to win the championship, you will definitely encounter these strong teams. This is inevitable. Champions are always born in high-level life-and-death battles."
"
Mijatovic was once an outstanding forward. He said, "When you have bad luck in the draw, it is very important to start well. If you lose points at the beginning, it will be quite detrimental to the next game. Of course,
We don’t need to be afraid, because Real Madrid is the team that has won the most titles in the history of the Champions League.”
"We are full of confidence in winning the championship again!"
…………
…………
The night after the Champions League group stage draw, the European Super Cup officially kicked off at the Stade Louis II in Monaco.
Bayern, who had just been drawn into the same group, faced Zenit St. Petersburg.
From the beginning of the game, the two teams played without reservation.
Edvorkat, the Dutch coach of Zenit St. Petersburg, has been the head coach of Zenit since 2006. He has instilled the concept of Dutch football into this team. From the beginning, they did not play conservatively and took the initiative to press and press.
He strangled Bayern's midfield and backcourt and frequently planned offensive attacks.
Although Arshavin was in trouble for a transfer all summer, he still got the job despite facing the powerful Bayern.
His partners are Danny, who just joined in the summer, and Bergrebuyak, the top scorer in the UEFA Cup.
To be able to win the UEFA Cup, Zenit's strength is quite good, especially Arshavin, who continued his outstanding performance in the European Cup and showed his outstanding personal abilities, playing the core of Zenit's frontcourt offense.
The role frequently poses threats to Bayern's penalty area and brings a lot of trouble to Bayern's defense.
In the first fifteen minutes, Zenit had the advantage and even had a good chance in the penalty area. The unguarded Bergrebuyak suddenly kicked the ball and was saved by Neuer.
This save won unanimous praise from Bayern players.
Heynckes immediately stepped up his defense.
Obviously, Zenit is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Subsequently, Zenit got two chances in a row, one was Arshavin's long shot from outside the penalty area, and the other was a foul caused by Arshavin dribbling the ball. The free kick in the frontcourt almost resulted in a goal.
Bayern also had a very threatening counterattack, when Podolski dribbled the ball forward. When Su Dong had already run out of space, Prince Cologne was eager to express himself and did not pass the ball in time. Instead, he took a long shot. As a result,
No threat.
This made Heynckes on the sidelines jump with anger.
Three on three in the frontcourt, what a great opportunity.
Olic opened the defensive player, and Su Dong had already run out of space. As long as Podolski passed the ball in time, Su Dong would be single-handedly. As a result, Podolski wanted to express himself and took a long shot directly, missing the perfect shot.
Good opportunity.
Perhaps knowing that he was too impatient and made a mistake, Podolsky raised his hands apologetically towards Su Dong and Heynckes.
In the 33rd minute, after Bayern once again stole the ball from their own half, Modric drove the ball forward and directly passed the midline.
Su Dong raised his hand in front to ask for the ball.
The Croatian midfielder immediately passed the ball diagonally.
I saw Su Dong blocking central defender Krizanak with his body, directly facing Modric's diagonal pass, volleying the ball in front of him with his right foot, turning around and starting, throwing away Krizanak.
, caught up with the football and took the ball straight to Zenit's penalty area.
“What a beautiful trip!”
"Su Dong showed his outstanding footwork and delicate technique!"
"Look at this time, Su Dong dribbled the ball diagonally to the left. There were two defensive players in front of him. Zenit's defense was also very fast. Behind him was Krizanak chasing back, three defenses and one defense.
situation."
"Su Dong continued to dribble the ball to the edge of the penalty area, and three people came over to double-team him."
"Su Dong took the lead and passed the ball to the no-man's land on the left."
