Chapter 397 UEFA Doesn't Seem To Target Me That Much (Gageng)
UEFA's classification rules have changed this season.

That is, the defending champion and the champions of the top seven leagues in UEFA points directly enter the first pot, and the remaining teams will determine the second, third and fourth pots based on their total points ranking in the last five seasons of the European war.

And because Chelsea is the champion of the Premier League and the Champions League at the same time, the champion of the No.8 Dutch League has also become the seed team.

So the teams in Pot [-] are as follows:
Barcelona (Spain), Bayern Munich (Germany), Chelsea (England), Benfica (Portugal), Paris Saint-Germain (France), Juventus (Italy), Zenit St Petersburg (Russia), PSV Eindhoven (Netherlands) .

So, what are the consequences of doing so?

It's just that a team like Real Madrid can't get into the first tier, but can only mix in the second tier.

This also greatly increases the probability of the group of death.

Take a look at the roster of teams in the second tier:

Real Madrid (Spain), Atlético de Madrid (Spain), Porto (Portugal), Arsenal (England), Manchester United (England), Valencia (Spain), Bayer Leverkusen (Germany), Manchester City (England).

Is there a feeling that it doesn't seem to be weaker than the first-tier team?

This is because starting from the second gear, it has resumed calculation based on UEFA points.

And the team that can get enough points, of course, will not be a good stubble.

And there is nothing to say in the third and fourth tier teams, that is, Sevilla in Spain, Rome in Italy, Lyon in France, Wolfsburg in Germany, Borussia Mönchengladbach and other teams may be against the former team. Two tiers cause a little trouble.

Those who have good things have already helped UEFA draw the lottery, that is, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Lyon, and Wolfsburg are in one group, everyone die!
Obviously, this also represents, in everyone's mind, the most difficult team in each class.

Of course, maybe Sevilla, the third-tier central European league leader, may be more difficult to deal with than Lyon, but they and Real Madrid are both in La Liga, so if you choose Real Madrid, you can only abandon Sevilla.

Whether this kind of yy can become a reality still needs a short waiting period.

Because before the draw, the UEFA awards of last season will be awarded.

Pan Yi then became a trophy collector.

Since the players were all preparing for the Super Cup and did not come to the scene, whenever a Chelsea player won an award, Pan Yi would go to the stage to take the trophy and say something politely.

But the problem is that almost all Chelsea players have won awards!
Goalkeeper of the Year: Thibaut Courtois.

Best defender: John Terry.

Best midfielder: Kante.

Best striker: Lukaku.

Finally, the most important awards:

Best Player: Hazard!
Hazard, who scored twice in the final, won the UEFA best player award after winning the best player in the Premier League!

Pan Yi repeatedly came to the stage to speak, and then he didn't know what to say.

Until the end, when Pan Yi was announced to have won the UEFA Best Coach Award, he simply said: "Thank you everyone, I am very happy to receive this award" and went down.

And the presentation of this award did not cause any waves.

Isn't it natural for Pan Yi to win the best coach award?
It would be news if the best coach went to someone else!

Apart from these best, there are only a few not so important awards that do not belong to Chelsea.

Messi beat Boateng's goal and was elected as the best goal award;

Also in the semi-final match between Barcelona and Bayern, a save by Ter Stegen was selected as the best save award.

It was in the 40th minute of the game, Bayern striker Lewandowski's shot not far from the goal was blocked by Ter Stegen, the ball was still slowly rolling towards the goal, Ter Stegen turned back at the goal Fishing out the ball online is very exciting.

Then, it was time to officially enter the lottery ceremony that made everyone feel nervous.

Since this season's Champions League final will be held at the San Siro Stadium (Meazza Stadium) in Italy, the Champions League final ambassador Zanetti and Maldini also appeared at the ceremony as guests of the draw.

Considering that both the Milan Bears failed to participate in this UEFA Champions League, this final venue is really... rather romantic.

The first-tier teams are drawn out first, but there is nothing to say about this, because it is just to determine which group everyone is in.

Chelsea are in Group G.

The most eye-catching part of the lottery is undoubtedly the second team that was drawn later. The grouping of these teams will directly determine which giants will usher in a strong dialogue.

The first to be drawn was Atletico Madrid, and Simeone's team was placed in Group C.For them, it is undoubtedly a good sign to avoid a group of rich teams and meet the Portuguese Super League champion Benfica.

Then the Gunners Arsenal were drawn, and this time they will encounter Bayern again. For Wenger, this is obviously not a good sign.

Immediately afterwards, another Premier League giant, Manchester United, was drawn out. They were lucky enough to enter Group B and met with a recognized weaker PSV Eindhoven. New aid Depay will also usher in a duel with his old club.

Subsequently, Real Madrid, the most important team in the second gear, was drawn out!
The Galaxy Battleship entered Group A and encountered Paris Saint-Germain, and Paris Saint-Germain's new aid Di Maria will also usher in a "battle of rectification" with the old owner.

Immediately after Valencia was drawn, they were in Group H with the weaker Zenit St. Petersburg;
And Manchester City once again drew the lottery, and they will enter Group D to encounter Serie A class bully Juventus.Bundesliga powerhouse Bayer Leverkusen enters Group E where Barcelona is located.

The last one to be drawn out was the "European black shop" Porto. Under the gaze of Porto coach Lopetegui with a painful expression on his face, their names were posted under Group G, and they encountered the defending champion Chelsea!

Off the field, Pan Yi scratched his head.

This time the lottery is a bit of a surprise.

His Pan Yi's team finally got out of the death group for once?

Although Porto is not said to be very easy to deal with, it is obviously much better than teams such as Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

It seems that I have misunderstood the European Union. They don't always target me, Pan!

In this way, in the group stage, I, Pan, can happily watch Real Madrid and Paris choke...

What's more interesting is that after being in the "death group" with Bayern, Villarreal and Naples in the 2011-12 season, Manchester City has been in the relatively recognized "death group" for five consecutive seasons, which can be described as ill-fated.

Maybe UEFA is targeting them?
Subsequently, Zanetti and Maldini decided the fate of the teams in the third and fourth tiers.

The final grouping results of the 2015-16 UEFA Champions League group stage came out:
Group A: Paris Saint-Germain (France), Real Madrid (Spain), Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), Malmo (Sweden)
Group B: PSV PSV (Netherlands), Manchester United (England), CSKA Moscow (Russia), Maccabi Tel Aviv (Israel)

Group C: Benfica (Portugal), Atletico Madrid (Spain), Galatasaray (Turkey), Astana (Kazakhstan)
Group D: Juventus (Italy), Manchester City (England), Sevilla (Spain), Monchengladbach (Germany)
Group E: Barcelona (Spain), Bayer Leverkusen (Germany), Roma (Italy), Borisov (Belarus)

Group F: Bayern Munich (Germany), Arsenal (England), Olympiakos (Greece), Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia)
Group G: Chelsea (England), Porto (Portugal), Lyon (France), Wolfsburg (Germany)
Group H: Zenit St Petersburg (Russia), Valencia (Spain), Dynamo Kiev (Ukraine), Gent (Belgium)
Then Pan Yi took another look...

Well, apart from the fact that the second tier did not give me a strong team, the third and fourth tier teams are not so polite?

They are all strong teams from the five major leagues!The group of death in the eyes of the fans is just one Real Madrid short.

According to the usual practice, after the lottery, the representatives will be interviewed by media reporters, and Pan Yi is no exception.

Regarding the result of the lottery, Pan Yi said he was very satisfied.

"In fact, no matter who is drawn, I will feel satisfied and will deal with it seriously."

"Of course, the group we are in is really challenging and the competition is brutal. Whether it is Porto, Lyon or Wolfsburg, they are all very difficult opponents to deal with."

"But this is the Champions League, the most challenging event in professional football in the world today. We will actively deal with it and enjoy the fun of football."

"Chelsea have the confidence to take on the challenge and come out of the group stage."

Captain Terry, who is far away in London, also quickly accepted media interviews. He said that the team has the determination to overcome any difficulties.

"This group is not easy, but we have to accept the challenge, but I don't think this is a group of death, although it will be difficult, it is definitely not a tragedy."

At the end of the interview, Terry also said that coach Pan Yi's rich experience in leading the team will also help the team overcome the difficulties encountered in the Champions League.

"He is a fantastic manager and all of us believe that under him we can win all the way to the end, as we did last year."

And Chelsea CEO Ron Gourley is relatively low-key, he said this is a very difficult group, but not a bad thing for Chelsea.

Now Chelsea need to play game by game, and then step by step to achieve this seemingly difficult season goal-seven crowns!

And two days later, we will usher in the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla.

This is undoubtedly an outpost before the Champions League group stage, and it is also Chelsea's second championship battle!
-
Georgia, Tbilisi, National Stadium.

Tonight it was occupied by Chelsea and Sevilla fans, they made a huge noise in the stadium, let everyone feel the enthusiasm of this European Super Cup.

At the same time, there was tension in the air above the pitch.

It stands to reason that a Super Bowl is actually a relatively unimportant game.

Or to be more specific, for many years, the European Super Cup has always been a tasteless existence.

It is scheduled to be held every year after the draw of the UEFA Champions League group stage. At this time, it coincides with the start of the major leagues and the gap between the national team competition in September, making such a game virtually a burden for the two participating teams.

Take Chelsea as an example. After participating in the first round of the Premier League game, they rushed to Georgia to play the Super Cup, and then went back to prepare for the second round of the Premier League game against Manchester City. For many teams I am afraid that they will all make the choice to keep the league and abandon the cup.

Therefore, for a long time, the European Super Cup has not received much attention.

Otherwise, it would not have been played in that small stadium in Monaco.

But this year's European Super Cup is obviously different.

For these two teams today, it is inevitable!
In history, both Chelsea and Sevilla have won the UEFA Super Cup once.

Chelsea won the title in 1998.

At that time, they qualified for the competition as the champions of the European Cup Winners' Cup last season, and then defeated the Champions League champion Real Madrid 1:0 in the final.

Sevilla won the title in 2006.

Of course they participated as Europa League champions, and then they beat Barcelona, ​​known as the second dream team, with an unexpected 3:0.

It can be said that the "ancestors" of the two teams were not rich, and they both needed such a trophy to enrich their honor rooms.

Especially for Chelsea, this is their first time to participate as Champions League champions, and it is also the second hurdle in their journey to win seven championships. No matter how difficult the schedule is, it is impossible to give up.

Because once a trophy is lost, it will lead to a rapid decline in players' confidence-after all, the seven crowns are gone, so it doesn't matter what the six or five crowns are, and it may also lead to the loss of more championships.

For Sevilla, the schedule will be relatively better, after all, La Liga has not yet officially opened.

So they can also use their best candidates with more confidence and boldness without any worries.

At the same time, the duel between Emery and Pan Yi, the two young coaches, is also very eye-catching.

Needless to say, Pan Yi is almost recognized as the number one marshal in the world today.

As for Emery, after his success in Almeria, Valencia, and especially Sevilla, more and more people began to know this head coach who is very good at playing cup games.

It is said that the French giants Paris Saint-Germain are also inspecting Emery and are going to let him try to drive an aircraft carrier.

And if Emery can defeat Pan Yi in the UEFA Super Cup, it will undoubtedly be of great help to his new work contract in the future.

It is precisely because of these various factors that this focus match was also broadcast in more than 160 countries around the world, which also set the highest record in the history of the European Super Cup.

After all, everyone wants to see the decisive battle between the king of the Champions League and the king of the Europa League when Mars hits the earth!
"Now we've got the rosters for both teams."

"First, let's take a look at Sevilla."

"It's a 4-3-2-1 formation. Beto in goal, Cork, Rami, Cory Jowiak, Tremolinas at the back; Dehly and Nzonzi in two midfielders; In front of them are Vitolo, Banega and Reyes; at the top is No. 9 Gameiro."

"On the bench of Sevilla, there are also the Italian striker Immobile who is on loan from Dortmund, and the tall Spanish center forward Llorente. It can be said that there are still many backs that can be used."

"It should be said that Emery is playing with the main force, and this starting lineup also shows his determination."

"Let's look at Chelsea again."

"They are still in the 3-5-2 formation that started this season. The goalkeeper is Courtois, and the three central defenders in the back line are Ake, Van Dijk and Zouma from left to right."

"It seems that Pan Yi has adjusted his starting lineup... Yes, Kanter is standing in the midfielder position, but Gretzka and Matic are starting in front of him. Cancelo and Moses, it's not the same as the previous starting."

"But the 1.1 million combination of Lukaku and Harry Kane is still discharged on the forward line. Yes, Lukaku is now worth as much as 8500 million, and Harry Kane's transfer fee is [-] million euros. Add up to almost [-] million."

"This also shows that Pan Yi is still very confident in this striker combination. Of course, one of their substitute strikers is 16-year-old Mbappé and the other is 17-year-old Abraham. Starting players so young puts too much pressure on them and it's not safe."

"The rotation of other positions should also be in preparation for the match against Manchester City four days later. After all, the UEFA Super Cup must be won, but the league is also very important."

"In the second round of the Premier League, we met a strong opponent like Manchester City. The outcome is very critical, and it may even affect the trend of the entire league."

"This is really a test for Pan Yi, who strives to gain something on all fronts. However, I feel that Pan Yi is still very confident, because even with this rotation lineup, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it."

"This is the confidence of Pan Yi and the Chelsea people. No matter who is sent to the field, the strength of the players is enough to deal with any opponent! Of course, there may be Pan Yi's tactical considerations for such a lineup. We don't know about this. .”

"Okay, now the warm-up for both sides is over, both teams have returned to the locker room to prepare, and the game will start soon!"
