Vol 2 Chapter 106: Group of death on paper

Although the outside world has mixed opinions on Magath's tactics, there are various concerns about Schalke's prospects for the entire season.
But regardless of the future, at least they are not in trouble. After defeating Nuremberg, in the first home of the new season, they beat Bochum 3:0. The league started with two straight wins.
On the other hand, Bayern, who all agreed that the new season will bottom out... at least not see such signs in the beginning.
In the first round, 1:1 away by Hoffenheim, they were tied with Bremen by the same score. Two consecutive draws started better than last season's fiasco, but in terms of Bayern's lineup strength, such a start is absolutely unsatisfactory.
The Munich media has corrected their mentality and regarded Schalke 04 as their main rival. The pick is higher than Dortmund. But sadly, this is just the beginning, there is already a four-point gap in the standings.
Fortunately, after two rounds of the Bundesliga, at the end of August, the draw of the UEFA Champions League group stage began in the new season, and the attention of the mainstream European media came. Van Gaal's pressure on public opinion eased slightly. In the Champions League, Bayern's record is really not weak.
Earlier, UEFA officially announced the division of the 32nd Champions League this season. The binning rules are based on the ranking of European war points in the past five years.
First gear: Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Barcelona, ​​Sevilla.
Second stage: Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Schalke 04, Lyon, Juventus, Alkmaar, Moscow Central Army, Glasgow Rangers.
Third gear: Stuttgart, Bordeaux, Besiktas, Florence, Dynamo Kiev, Atletico Madrid, Olympiacos, Marseille.
Fourth gear: Wolfsburg, Uniria (Romania), Standard Liege (Belgium), Debrecen (Hungary), Ruby Kazan, Zurich, Atletico (Cyprus), Maccabi Haifa (Israel).
As soon as the result of this binning came out, no matter whether it is the media of the five major leagues or other second- and third-rate small leagues, there is no non-fry.
Especially in the second gear, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Juventus, Schalke 04, the performance of these four teams last season and this season's actions are enough to make the first seed team feel more pressure. These four teams are very likely to create at least two death groups!
Especially Real Madrid, because they were eliminated by Liverpool in two rounds in the last quarter of last season, seriously lowering their European points in the past five seasons, so they are divided into two teams in the new season.
However, their strength definitely made eight seed teams want to stay away.
For the third and fourth gear teams, there are very few ways to live, and they can only be reduced to the fish on the chopping board.
Therefore, "Aspen", "Times" and other major media influential in Europe have accused the current UEFA Champions League binning rules is unreasonable.
How can the advantages of the seed team in the coming year be reflected in a sudden season like Real Madrid and a downshift on its own?
However, the result of this binning is a good thing for Schalke 04, avoiding Real Madrid and Inter Milan with the strength of one gear. In the remaining team, as long as they are not out of luck, they meet Barcelona. The seed teams have the power of a battle.
The whole lottery process has just started, and the eight seed teams are placed in order, namely, Group A Bayern, Group B Manchester United, Group C Milan, Group D Chelsea, Group E Liverpool, Group F Barcelona, ​​Group G Sevelli Asia, Group H Arsenal.
Then it was the second-team draw, and the Chinese fans who stayed up all night rallied.
CCTV commentary He Wei looked at the eight seeded teams and said: "According to the rules of different groups of the same country, Schalke 04 will not be drawn into group A. Of the remaining seven groups, group F is the most difficult for Barcelona. , The strength is obviously better than Schalke, and it is the most advantageous to draw into Group G, and Sevilla is relatively weak. Of course, it is the most interesting to enter Group B. Although Manchester United introduced Irving as a replacement for Ronaldo’s departure, they started from the Premier League. In the first round, the effect is not so good. Schalke 04 should have a chance of revenge."
After a few minutes, the suspense was revealed.
UEFA Secretary-General David Taylor successively took out the placement order of the second-tier team. It was Juventus that entered Group A-Bayern and Juventus gathered together, watching the direction of the death group closer. step.
And Schalke 04 also temporarily missed revenge Manchester United. The second team to enter the Group B position is the Russian Super Champion Moscow Central Army.
Real Madrid, who saw everyone hiding, was drawn into Group C to fight with AC Milan, and then to Group D, they finally reached Schalke 04.
"Oh? Schalke 04 and Chelsea are in the same group, haha! The two teams just played in the pre-season training, but that Magath took the initiative to rotate most of the main force. Now, there is a chance to compete with real strength. With their nearly overthrow of Manchester United last season, Schalke 04 is not impossible to beat Chelsea."
In front of the TV, the Blues fans started to look forward to the midfield matchup between Zhou Tiancheng and Lampard.
In addition, the second team from Group E to Group H are Lyon, Inter Milan, Glasgow Rangers and Alkmaar.
More than half of the lottery ceremony has ended here. Group A Bayern Juventus, Group C Real Madrid and AC Milan ~EbookFREE.me ~ Group Barcelona and Inter Milan. There are already three groups showing signs of death. The Western Super League doubles against the Milan doubles is one of the most anticipated points.
Of course, Schalke 04 and Chelsea are also considered, but there are top giants in the front, and the matchup in Group D will be relatively eclipsed.
After the first two gears have been drawn, entering the third gear is really exciting. Which group can become the death group is usually determined by the third team.
Stuttgart, "Purple Lily" Florence, La Liga "Bed Legion" Atletico Madrid are enough to act as a spoiler.
According to the rules, Schalke will definitely not be in the same group as Stuttgart, but the fate is so unlucky, head-on hit the fourth place in La Liga last season!
He Wei immediately exclaimed: "Atletico's strength is in the third place, and it is now in the D group of Schalke 04. In this way, the D group has three strong teams of Schalke 04, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid. Although this pair is not Mars hitting the earth, but it has been determined that at least one of the top eight teams will be out after the group stage. On paper, it is a dead group. But it is not necessarily for Schalke. Chelsea have just played. As Atletico, it was Schalke's defeat of the Champions League qualifiers last season. Atletico's lineup did not have much reinforcement in the new season, but sent Maniche, Luis Garcia, Barnett. There are several main forces in Canada and Franco. In the current lineup, Schalke's strength should be above his opponents."
In front of the TV, many Chinese fans also clapped their hands excitedly-they feel that this grouping does not prevent Schalke 04 from qualifying, but is more beneficial. As long as they don’t fall into the circle of giants, the opponents in the group stage are stronger, which also clears the potential obstacles for the knockout.
