Chapter 222: Fleeting disadvantage

The draw of the Champions League team has also triggered various discussions in the European media.
The theme of this year's Champions League group stage is the Premier League vs. Bundesliga.
Bayern meets Manchester City, Schalke meets Arsenal, Dortmund meets Chelsea, Bayer Leverkusen meets Manchester United. Isn't this the Premier League vs. Bundesliga?
And because the three Bundesliga teams reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, the Premier League suffered a group destruction in the Champions League semi-finals. This makes the Bundesliga have caught up in the European war points, very close to the Premier League.
As long as the Bundesliga teams perform better in the European War this season, they have a chance to surpass the Premier League in the European War and become the second league.
So UEFA specially organized this Premier League and Bundesliga theme group match as a celebration, which is quite appropriate.
The death group of Schalke and Arsenal, Marseille and Naples has also received a lot of attention.
According to European media, although this group is not the most deadly in history, it is the deadliest group with the most average strength.
The four teams are the kind of teams that are strong enough to make it to the knockout rounds, and it is not said who can be significantly higher than the other.
It is often this kind of average death group that will score some very death points.
And for the teams in the group alone, this group is also very topical.
The first is that Li Chenglong has encountered Arsenal in the Champions League group stage for two consecutive years. As a standard Arsenal fan player, he has met Arsenal for two consecutive years. There is indeed a certain topicality.
Secondly, Naples and Arsenal are also very difficult. Some time ago, the two teams were still fighting for Higuain, who had left Real Madrid. Eventually there was a suspenseful incident in the famous Arsenal dressing room.
At that time, the entire English media was reporting that Higuain had appeared in the Arsenal locker room and had undergone a medical examination in London.
Then a few days later, Naples announced that Higuain had officially joined, which was a laugh.
The whole world wants to know how Higuain crossed from the Arsenal locker room directly to Naples.
Why did she disappear inexplicably on the medical examination?
Why is the strongest person always in the team?
Why does the mysterious zipper strike frequently?
The trophy warehouse was looted?
Why are quality captains in slow-sale stores?
Curse? conspiracy? Or something else?
Stay tuned to this special program of "Into Science", "Unveiling the Secret of the European Big Mac-"A Sina"
Well, anyway, Arsenal's stalk, I can't finish it.
Now, Higuain has just crossed to Naples not long after he turned around and met Arsenal, which is a coincidence.

Schalke drew a super death group, and the atmosphere in the entire club was not very good.
At present, the team is still drawn to the dead in the Champions League when two important players, Huntelaar and Draxler, are injured. It can indeed be said that it is a bit of a fleeting disadvantage.
So after the team's training session, Li Chenglong stood up to cheer for the team.
"Although we were drawn to a death group, it is not necessarily a bad thing."
"If you can get out of the group of death, it will really prove the strength of a team, and it will also give the team a mental exercise."
"The people from Dortmund last season, they also made it to the final after they were killed in the group stage and got out of the box."
"So, the death group is not necessarily a completely bad thing, and everyone can rest assured that everything is mine..."
"Ahem~~" Li Chenglong was talking loudly, and a cough suddenly came from behind him.
Looking back, it turned out that it was head coach Huber Stevens.
"Bruce, don't you know? You can't play in the first group stage." The Dutch coach said.
"What? Wait, what does this mean?"
"You got a red card in the last UEFA Champions League match last season and will be suspended."
"That was last season, isn't it automatically cleared after the season?"
"Yellow cards will be automatically cleared, but red cards will still be suspended in the first European game of the new season."
This time, Li Chenglong was stunned. He really did not expect that the red card from last season would be brought to this season.
At that time, against Bayern in the away scene, the team was beaten with no power to fight back. Lee Chenglong was really upset, so he automatically applied for a red card and left the game to rest.
He did not expect that the red card from last season would be brought to this season.
And if Schalke is divided into a simple group this season, and Jackie Lee can't play a game, it doesn't matter.
But now it is a super-dead group. Li Chenglong can't play a game, and it is likely that the team will not be able to qualify.
"The first game of the group stage, we are going to play Naples away..."
Stevens's words are obviously not enough. Maybe he didn't have much confidence in that game.
The key player is injured, the core is suspended, and the group is dead.
These all met together, but it is really a fleeting disadvantage.

Time enters September, and the deadline for the summer transfer of European football in 2013 has also arrived.
This year's transfer deadline is a lot of big deals.
The first is that the negotiation between Real Madrid and Tottenham has finally come to an end. Real Madrid has brought in Gareth Bale, the popular Premier League fried chicken, at a high price of 91 million euros.
Real Madrid claimed to be 91 million euros, but the media did not believe this figure, the real transfer fee must be higher.
According to the media, the transfer fee is probably hundreds of millions, but in order to take care of the face of the head star Ronaldo, it is claimed to be 91 million, which is less than the 94 million that Ronaldo originally introduced.
Bell's transfer is almost an announcement that the transfer of European football has begun to enter the era of billions.
There are also very important buzzer transfers in the Premier League. First, Manchester United introduced Fellaini at the buzzer, followed by this year's Premier League champion-Arsenal spent 50 million euros to introduce Özil from Real Madrid.
Arsenal actually spent such a large price to introduce players, it is indeed beyond the expectations of many people.
To know that 50 million euros, this is already the highest signing in the Premier League except for the introduction of Torres by Chelsea.
The English tabloids have also carried out intensive reports on this big deal~EbookFREE.me~ and it is still related to Lee Chenglong.
At the earliest time, Wenger wanted to spend 60 million to dig Jackie Lee, but was rejected by the top Arsenal because Arsenal had a more affordable goal, Higuain.
Due to the changes in Real Madrid's personnel, Higuain's future in Real Madrid has become very uncertain, and the small smoke gun has made up his mind to leave Real Madrid.
In this case, Higuain's transfer fee is indeed not too high, only about 30 million, only half of Li Chenglong's, this is the high-quality signings that Arsenal seniors want.
Higuain really wanted to join Arsenal at the earliest. After all, he was a wealthy club with a high degree of attention. At that time, many news that Higuain had confirmed his move to Arsenal appeared in various European media.
However, Arsenal has been unable to finalize the deal because they are unable to negotiate a price of several million euros in the transfer negotiations with Real Madrid.
At this time, Cavani was sold at a high price of 64 million, and Naples, who had money in his pocket, was killed, and Higuain was snatched away with a sharp knife.
This time Arsenal was dumbfounded, Higuain went to Naples, and Lee Chenglong also renewed his contract with Schalke 04, and the penalty rose to 80 million.
Later, Arsenal drew a super-dead group in the Champions League. All of these made Wenger repeatedly ask the team for important signings, so there was this deal that spent 50 million to buy 272.
Real Madrid did have plans to sell Özil, because this summer they spent nearly 200 million euros to buy people, of course, they have to sell two players to balance their finances.
But Özil does not lack the next high-quality players, Bayern, Manchester United, Manchester City, Paris and so on are very interested in Özil, Arsenal want to grab him, of course it will cost a lot.
