Vol 4 Chapter 130: Champions League benefits

?♂,
　　
　　After the match, it was not Zhou Yi who equalized the score for Dortmund or the goalkeeper Tony Cross of Bayern Munich, but Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller.
　　
　　 This result is of course uncontroversial, and Weidenfeller deserved this honor.
　　
　　 Even Zhou Yi praised Weidenfeller fiercely in an interview after the game: "In the last few minutes I have committed a heart attack, and Roman is simply my quick-acting rescue pill!"
　　
　　 If it wasn’t Weidenfeller’s brave play at the last minute, it would be Bayern Munich who would kill Dortmund at the last minute.
　　
　　 Now, with a point, Dortmund left Allianz Stadium with satisfaction.
　　
　　As Marcel Leif said in the post-match commentary, Bayern Munich failed to beat Dortmund at home, which may have laid the groundwork for the future two strong competition for the league title, leaving a suspense.
　　
　　After fifteen rounds of league matches, Bayern Munich had 12 wins, two draws and one loss, with 38 points, still ranking first.
　　
　　 and Dortmund finished second with ten wins, four draws and one loss with 34 points.
　　
　　 and Leverkusen nine wins, three draws and three losses, accumulated 30 points, ranked third, four points behind Dortmund, and Bayern Munich more, reaching eight points.
　　
　　 In general, this season should be the same as the previous two seasons. The league championship is mainly produced between Bayern Munich and Dortmund. It depends on who is more stable during the long season. The league is not the same as the cup, it is a marathon run, you are at the beginning, you can lead in the middle and can not be asserted, you can definitely win the championship. Compared with the momentary momentum, sustained and stable play is the most important.
　　
　　Because there is not only one league to advance, but also domestic and European cup competitions, these games will have an impact on the team's performance in the league.
　　
　　 In multi-line combat, Bayern Munich's performance is very good. They do have experience in this regard, and no matter how Groskeritz mocks, Schweinsteiger's confidence is real.
　　
　　 If Dortmund wants to compete with Bayern Munich for the league title this season, and they want to go further in the Champions League, they will face such a severe test.
　　
Take a look at this season's Schalke 04, last season's third in the league, this season's performance in the UEFA Champions League group stage is very good, especially when facing the seed team Arsenal, winning away from home, maintaining home peace, this way The performance is really impressive.
　　
　　 In the UEFA Champions League group stage there is still a case where they did not play, they have already qualified from this group in advance.
　　
　　 But the performance in the Champions League is excellent, and the performance in the league is somewhat eclipsed compared to the Champions League.
　　
　　 Fifteen rounds of league games, they won seven, four draws and four losses, with 25 points, ranking fourth.
　　
　　Although the ranking looks good, but Bayern Munich, the league's No. 1, checked as many as 13 points, it means that they have not put their focus on the league at all this season, but are thinking of making a breakthrough in the Champions League.
　　
　　 Of course, Schalke 04 does this, not to say that there is no ambition in the Champions League. In the final analysis, the reason why they work so hard in the Champions League is money.
　　
　　 Champions League games, each game has a bonus.
　　
According to the UEFA Champions League bonus plan introduced by UEFA this season, each team that can participate in the UEFA Champions League group match will receive a two million euro bonus first, and then the cost of each group match is 400,000 euros. If you win in the group stage, you will get another 600,000 euros for each victory. There will also be 300,000 euros in the draw. You only lose if you lose.
　　
　　In addition, if they reach the top 16, the team will also receive a reward of 2.2 million euros.
　　
　　 That's why many powerful teams would like to qualify for the group stage because they get more bonuses after qualifying. Whether you can qualify, it is a lot worse economically.
　　
　　Schalke 04 will definitely not think that their strength is to travel in the group stage, let alone the prize money of the top sixteen. If they perform well in the group stage, there will be great rewards for victory. Of course, we must strive to win a lot in the group stage.
　　
　　 But with Schalke 04's strength and bench thickness, if they want to achieve good results in the Champions League, they can not guarantee their achievements in the league, and even have to actively give up the league.
　　
　　 The performance of Schalke 04 this season is very obvious. When playing the league, the state is unstable, good and bad, fifteen games, four draws and four losses, the unbeaten rate exceeds 50%. The Champions League is particularly exciting, the team is like playing chicken blood. Away 2:1 win Olympiacos, draw 2:2 at home Montpellier, beat Arsenal 2:0 at home, draw Arsenal 2:2 at home, beat Olympiacos at home 1:0. There was only the last game in the group stage. They had an undefeated game in the previous five games, and each game received a prize. Not counting the four-four million group appearance fee, only the winning prize and the flat ball prize, Schalke 04 has 2.4 million euros credited.
　　
　　For the Bundesliga teams who care about financial health, the Champions League bonus is a very important subsidy. They can't always rely on selling players to earn large transfer fees. Even if they want to do this, there are not enough players for them to sell. The Champions League bonus is an important growth point for them to maintain profitability.
　　
　　Now, one round ahead of the group qualifying, Schalke 04 has already received the prize money of 2.2 million euros in the round of 16 in advance. Perhaps they are considering the quarter-finals of 2.5 million euros.
　　
　　※※※
　　
　　After Dortmund and Bayern Munich ended this "National Derby", they will also welcome their last match in the UEFA Champions League group stage.
　　
This season, three Bundesliga teams have entered the UEFA Champions League main stage. After the group stage fight, all three teams have entered the knockout. Their performance will earn enough points for the Bundesliga in the European Championship and the Bundesliga goals for the future. The team establishes the right to speak when the Champions League is allocated.
　　
　　 This is something that the entire German football community likes to hear.
　　
　　 The media also hope that the German team will go further in the Champions League this time. Just like last season, Bayern Munich reached the final and Dortmund reached the semifinals.
　　
　　 Among the three Bundesliga teams, Schalke 04 and Dortmund were the first to appear. They were in the group stage on December 4th, and they challenged Montpellier away from home and played against Manchester City.
　　
In the end, Schalke 04 drew Montpellier with a score of 1:1, and because Arsenal lost some 1:2 to Olympiacos on the road, Schalke ended up with twelve points. The points are ranked first in the group, pressing the seed team Arsenal!
　　
This can be regarded as a surprise for Schalke 04. They failed to beat Montpellier on the road. They all thought that the first team must be Arsenal. They can qualify from this group and score 16 Qiang is very happy, regardless of the number of the group, the second group will do. After thinking for a few minutes, they became the first in the group.
　　
　　 In the last round of Group D, Dortmund played a rotation at home, but even so, they still beat Manchester City 1:0 at home and Real Madrid beat Ajax 4:1 away.
　　
　　 Actually, the outcome of these two games is meaningless for Dortmund and Real Madrid.
　　
　　 After all, the group first and second are determined. But for Ajax there may be a point-if they can get the group third, then they can go to the UEFA Cup. But the key to their ability to take the third place in the group is not in their match with Real Madrid. Even if they use the power of feeding, they may not be able to beat Real Madrid. The key point is that in Manchester City's away game against Dortmund, if Dortmund in the group's first qualifying match has deliberately released water and lost to Manchester City, then Manchester City will surpass Ajax by five points and become the third in the group. Qualification for the UEFA Cup knockout.
　　
　　 So Ajax must hope that Dortmund upholds sports ethics and does not lose to Manchester City at home, even if it is tied, it will be fine. The final result satisfied Ajax, and Dortmund did not give up sportsmanship because it was a foregone conclusion.
　　
As for Manchester City... The Premier League upstarts who are ambitious to write a new chapter in the Champions League haven’t put the UEFA Cup in their eyes at all. They won’t take the group third or participate in the UEFA Cup. It’s really meaningless for Manchester City. No time to consider.
　　
　　 The final score of this dead group is very clear. Dortmund scored 16 points with five wins and one tie, topping the list. Real Madrid have three wins, two draws and one loss, with 11 points, ranking second. Ajax had one win, one draw and four losses, ranking third with four points. Manchester City ranked fourth with two wins, zero draws, two draws and four losses, and the penultimate.
　　
　　Everyone thought that the point of death group will be very close, and there was such a contrast, which was quite unexpected by many people. It seems that if you want a classic death group like the Champions League D group in 1999, you still have to wait.

　　 One day later, Bayern Munich welcomed the last opponent in the UEFA Champions League group stage, Borisov.
　　
　　 Before the game, they and Atlético Madrid have the same score, but in terms of mutual win and loss, UU read www.uukanshu.com they are more dominant.
　　
　　 So as long as they can share with Atletico Madrid, they will get the first place in the group.
　　
　　 But how is the most safe?
　　
　　 of course still wins. If Bayern Munich accidentally overturned the boat in their ditch at home, lost to Borisov, or was tied by Borisov, and Atletico Madrid defeated Lille on the road, then Bayern Munich will hate Ranked second in the group, this is not conducive to the draw of the next 16 elimination rounds.
　　
　　 So just win.
　　
　　 And Bayern Munich finally lived up to expectations, beating Borisov 4:1 at home. At the same time, Atletico Madrid really defeated Lille 1-0 away.
　　
　　The two teams have 13 points together, and Bayern Munich finally defeated Atlético Madrid 2-1 at home, with a 1-1 draw to win and lose each other, becoming the first in the group.
　　
　　The three Bundesliga teams are qualified as the first group in the three groups. For German football, it can be described as "a grand event"... (to be continued.)
