Chapter 98 Champions League Death Group
Opening games are never easy.

Everyone has gone through a month or two of vacation, and no one knows the state of the opponent.

It can be said to be a complete encounter.

Especially for Malaga, this game is still a derby - a derby in Andalusia.

The relationship between Malaga fans and Sevilla fans is not harmonious, and the two sides often clash.

After all, they are teams from the same region. If you don't look up and see you down, the relationship can't be any better.

As the La Liga game time approaches.

Malaga is also starting to fully prepare for the opening game of the first round of La Liga.

But for Malaga.

Before the official start of La Liga.

Another thing that deserves a lot of attention is their Champions League group stage draw.

On August 8, at 27:17 local time in Monaco.

The UEFA Champions League group stage draw and UEFA Best European Player (New European Ballon d'Or) award ceremony took place at the Grimaldi Congress Center in Monte-Carlo.

It happened to be the time when the Malaga team ended the day's training.

So when the training was over and everyone returned to the locker room, everyone simply watched the live broadcast of the lottery together.

In fact, there are quite a lot of players with Champions League experience in the Malaga team.

Van Nistelrooy, Joaquin, Cazorla, Tulalang, Demichelis, etc. all have experience in the Champions League, and the experience is quite rich.

Before the group draw, the 32 teams participating in the Champions League were divided according to the points of the European war.

Malaga, as a new team in the European War, naturally has no points in the European War, and is ranked fourth.

As for the other three teams in La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona are in the first tier, and Valencia is in the second tier.

According to the principle of avoiding the same league group, Malaga may basically encounter a more difficult group to play.

In this regard, the Malaga players are already mentally prepared-no way, as a team in the fourth tier, they are not qualified to be picky. They will definitely encounter teams in the first and second tiers. The strength of the two teams should not be underestimated.

Needless to say the first gear.

Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea.Bayern, Arsenal, Porto, Inter Milan.

Except for Porto, they are all giants in the four major leagues.

The second tier also has giant teams such as Milan and Lyon.

From the third tier, most of them are small teams not in the four major leagues, but there is also a giant alligator, from the local tycoon Manchester City of the Premier League.

Count Dortmund, Naples, Malaga and other teams from the four major leagues in the fourth tier.

This season's UEFA Champions League group stage is destined to create one or two absolute death groups.

"Don't have too much hope. If Dortmund and Naples don't enter the death group, then we must enter the death group nine times out of ten. UEFA can't do anything for the ratings!"

said Fanny, sitting under his cupboard, shaking his head.

This made many rookies in the Champions League in Malaga nervous.

"I hope to face a strong enemy." Ye Luo said with a smile.

"No, no, no, we're going to play against strong opponents and there are plenty of players in the knockout round. It's better for us to go to an easy group."

"Right, right, at least qualify for the group stage this season!"

"The Champions League is different from the league."

"God bless, God bless"

Just when everyone started talking.

Former German star Breitner started the draw as the host of the final (Allianz Arena, Munich).

The first team to be drawn was the first team, and the first team to be drawn was Bayern Munich, who was drawn into Group A.

Then the other first-tier teams were drawn out one after another and placed in Group AH.

After completing the draw for the first tier.

The draw for the second round begins.

Breitner scrambled for a long time among the small white balls of the team that might encounter Bayern Munich in the second gear, then drew a white ball, opened it and unfolded it.

"AC Milan!"

When the words "AC Milan" appeared on the TV screen.

In the locker room of the Malaga training base, the players exclaimed.

They're starting to smell the group of death
Bayern, Milan.

Who will be the unlucky guy in the third gear?
With this expectation.

Everyone didn't care much about the next lottery.

Finally, the teams in the second tier were all drawn.

The third team in Group A is about to be drawn!

Everyone held their breath.

When Breitner unfolds the name of the team he has drawn.

The players gasped.

"Man City!"

Bayern, Milan, Manchester City!

These three teams were drawn into Group A.

"Damn, UEFA is really a dog, this group is so interesting!"

"That's it, Group A is the Super Death Group."

While everyone was discussing, the teams in the third tier were all drawn.

"Okay, let's see who is the unlucky one who falls into Group A in the fourth gear." Isco laughed.

"Could it be us?" Ye Luo said with some expectation.

"How is this possible? There's a one-eighth probability. What the fuck!" Isco was dumbfounded.

The host on the TV screen hadn't spoken the name of the team that Breitner had drawn out, and the temperature in the locker room instantly dropped to freezing point.

Everyone looked at Ye Luo.

Ye Luo smiled awkwardly: "I didn't expect this either."

He really didn't expect it.

one eighth
Uh, one in seven chances to be exact.

Because it is impossible for Dortmund to be in the same group as Bayern Munich, Dortmund was excluded in the draw.

Choose one from seven.

Pick Malaga by the hand.

How unlucky it must be.

Everyone fell silent.

After finally getting into the Champions League, they were actually drawn into a group with Bayern, Milan and Manchester City.

This unlucky level can buy a lottery ticket.

"It's no big deal, we've won Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and it wouldn't be surprising to win Bayern."

Ye Luo tries to encourage his teammates.

But this grouping is indeed a bit too unlucky for Malaga.

"Fuck! What group?"

"Uefa Nima is not human!"

"This group of death is too dead."

"Fuck, fuck, fuck."

"This is the end"

"Three Greats fought against Lu Bu, that's right."

On Longguo's network, the result of the lottery aroused heated discussions as soon as it came out.

The major online media have reported on it one after another.

[Group of Death!Bayern, Milan, Manchester City and Malaga create a super group of death! 】

[Ye Luo's first Champions League season, he encountered a super death group! 】

[How likely is Malaga to break through? The degree of death in group A]

for a while.

All kinds of titles made the fans who were still looking forward to Ye Luo's Champions League this season a little anxious.

But there are also optimists.

"The group of death is the group of death. In the first Champions League season, first accumulate experience."

"Anyway, I don't expect Malaga to go far in the Champions League. The Champions League generally belongs to the rich teams."

"It's not bad if these three opponents can win two games."

"How could it be possible that there were only two games, and Malaga even won against Barcelona and Real Madrid."

"It's different, the Champions League is different."

This draw group also made the entire Spanish media sympathize with Malaga's experience.

".As we all know, UEFA has a tradition of "creating" groups of death. This time, Malaga can only consider themselves unlucky."

". UEFA President Michel Platini has always been unfavorable to clubs like Manchester City and Malaga that have received large investment from the Middle East Stone Group. Last season, Manchester City also fell into the death group. This season, Manchester City and Malaga Raja met in the same group, and their opponents were Bundesliga giants Bayern and Champions League seven-time winner AC Milan, and it was too difficult for these two rich teams to break out of this group."

This is an article published by [Marca News] on its own online media for the first time.

The UEFA Champions League draw is tricky.

This is almost the consensus of most media and fans.

Every year, the media will zoom in on the picture of the guest draw.

Others think that the UEFA Champions League groupings were not drawn out at all, but were decided long ago.

Others think that something has been done about the ball, for example, the ball to be drawn has been heated.

In short
No one thinks that UEFA randomly selects the teams from each group in accordance with the principles of fairness, openness and impartiality.

There must be UEFA's own likes and dislikes, news flow considerations, ratings considerations, and so on.

in Europe.

The football industry is the industry chain that involves the most extensive scope, the largest amount of money, and the most complicated interests of all parties in the sports industry.

It is easy to understand that Malaga, which has received foreign capital injection and has an impact on the traditional interest structure, is not welcomed by the upper echelons of UEFA.

compared to Malaga.

The draw for the other three La Liga teams was much more normal.

Real Madrid's Group D includes Real Madrid, Lyon, Ajax and Dinamo Zagreb.

Valencia was assigned to Group E, which included Chelsea, Valencia, Bayer Leverkusen and Henkke.

Barcelona is assigned to Group H. The teams in this group include Barcelona, ​​Marseille, BATE Borisov, and Pilsen.

the next day.

When Ye Luo went to training on his bicycle.

The gate of Malaga's training base was already packed with reporters.

Ye Luo was also inevitably "surrounded" before entering the base

"Malaga entered the group of death, what do you think about that?"

"Confident that the group will break through?"

"Is Malaga ready to face the group of death?"

The reporters threw one question after another.

Ye Luo smiled and said to the reporter: "We will play every game well!"

He didn't say anything like: "We will definitely qualify for the group stage".

Instead, after saying a cliché to deal with the media, he pushed away the dense recording equipment in front of him and entered the training base.

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.

Ye Luo, who arrived at the training base, got another piece of news.

Because Atletico Madrid's main goalkeeper David De Gea was hooked away by Manchester United.

They are now urgently recalling goalkeeper Asenjo, who was loaned to Malaga.

Originally, Malaga was negotiating with Atletico Madrid to buy out Asenjo.

The result is like this.
The team must find a qualified goalkeeper in the transfer market.

Asenjo actually hopes to stay in Malaga to finish this season, because Malaga has the Champions League to play this season, and many players are eager to appear in the Champions League.

Whether they are qualified to play in the Champions League is actually an important reference for many players to choose their next home.

But there is no way, the loan contract of both parties has a recall clause.For Asenjo, the most pull between Malaga and Atletico Madrid will allow him to participate in the next game against Sevilla, and he is estimated to be recalled by Atletico Madrid.

Champions League into the Super Death Group.

The main goalkeeper may be recalled by his home team before the start of the season.

Before the start of the first round of La Liga.

Malaga's misfortunes cast a shadow over their first round of the league.
 It’s the last day of this month, and I found that there is still a little distance from the [-] monthly pass, and today is double the monthly pass, so I have the cheek to ask for a ticket here. I have returned to my hometown these days, and people come and go, so I can only type at night .
