PS: Thanks to the bookmate "Silent Xiaoxi" for the reward of Wancoin!
In August, each team is in a tense preparation. The topic of the entire European football media, except for the later transfer, that is, the preparation of each team, transfers, training, warm-up games, etc. all appear in the media. Reported.
The same is true for the Spanish media.
The transfer of Atletico Madrid has long ended, but they just beat Barcelona and won the Spanish Super Cup. This news caused a lot of sensation in the media.
All kinds of comments are coming.
Some media criticized Barcelona, some media praised Atletico Madrid, saying that Atletico Madrid has a stronger strength than last season, and some media think that Barcelona is not playing well, and "the soil is not satisfied", the term is used in In addition to Barcelona, some Catalan media even criticized the cooperation between Spanish football and Chinese football.
"Atletico Madrid is a team invested by Chinese companies, Wansheng is Chinese, Atletico Madrid and young Chinese striker Wang Qiuming, the Spanish Super Cup in China is almost the same as at Calderon Stadium. Atletico can win Not surprising ... "
This statement has been confirmed by Barcelona supporters.
Of course, it is too late for them to say that the trophy is already in Atletico Madrid ’s trophy showroom. It is impossible for the Spanish Football Association to make the Super Cup retaken because of media requirements.
For Atletico Madrid, the most important thing is to welcome the new season.
The start of the new season is the draw of the Champions League group.
Atletico Madrid was the La Liga champion last season and qualified directly for the knockout stage of the Champions League 32.
On August 26, the UEFA Champions League group drawing ceremony was held at the Palace of Justice in Monaco.
Before the start of the group drawing ceremony, the chairman, general manager, and head coach who came to the scene on behalf of the club entered the venue in sequence. What is interesting is that when Wan Sheng and Xiao Hill walked to the door together, they just met the Manchester United coach. Ferguson.
"What a coincidence?"
Wan Sheng was a little surprised. The reporter next to him was suddenly excited. But the two of them had a "great hatred." It would be better if something happened.
Ferguson also took a moment, his smile suddenly cold.
Originally, after Wan Sheng left Manchester City, he no longer served as the head coach, and the two would have no intersection. After that, Wan Sheng coached Atletico Madrid and had no relationship with Manchester United.
But last season, Manchester United and Barcelona competed in the Champions League, and Wan Sheng intervened in it. What else did they say 'Ferguson announced his retirement, Manchester United can win the championship', then Ferguson announced that he can coach for another two years, so Manchester United decisively lost to Barcelona.
Afterwards, a lot of comments from the English media turned out to be a win, saying that ‘Ferguson should announce his retirement’, ‘He is old enough’ and ‘I want to give the opportunity to young people’, which angered Ferguson.
In Ferguson's view, there is nothing more abominable than this young Chinese face. Now that he has met Wan Sheng in the hall again, Ferguson's mood can be imagined.
Ferguson knew there was a reporter next to him, so he didn't say anything, but he was cold-faced, but Wan Sheng smiled. He came over and took the initiative to reach out and said, "I watched the UEFA Champions League final. Manchester United performed very well. I really hope to be with you Grouped together. "
"Hula ..."
This is provocation!
The reporter next to him was immediately excited.
Ferguson snorted, didn't take the conversation, just clapped Wan Sheng's hand, then turned and walked into the venue.
Wan Sheng shrugged to the surrounding reporters and said, "Does the British royal family award a knight not to look at the character? He is too demeanor." He also walked into the meeting room.
The meeting between Wan Sheng and Ferguson was only a minor episode. After all the staff entered the venue, the group draw ceremony soon began.
According to the rules of the UEFA Champions League, teams entering the UEFA Champions League group stage will be divided into four grades, and each team will be divided into eight teams from A to H according to the rules of each team. Qualified to enter the round of 16 elimination rounds.
The UEFA Champions League seed teams are Inter Milan, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal and Porto. The second-tier teams are Moscow Central Army, Benfica, Manchester City, Valencia, Marseille, Shakhtar Donetsk and AC Milan.
Due to the fact that Atletico Madrid have only participated in the Europa League once in the previous five years, the team has only UEFA points in La Liga. The UEFA points combined cannot even be compared to Shakhtar Donetsk and can only be placed in the third grade Too.
Last season's pressure against Barcelona's Atlético de Madrid in La Liga was actually only the third-ranked UEFA Champions League team, which is also the inadequacy of the UEFA Champions League rules.
Wan Sheng was not satisfied with this.
When he entered the venue and the group drawing ceremony had not yet begun, he complained to the media reporter, "I don't understand what UEFA points, but we won the La Liga title last season, won the Spanish King's Cup, just beat again Barcelona won the Super Cup, but Barcelona is the first-grade team, we are only the third-grade, which is completely unfair. "
Of course, these complaints are useless. UEFA cannot change the rules of points because Atletico Madrid is dissatisfied.
It is still very dangerous for Atlético Madrid to be placed in the third grade, because the first and second grades are strong teams. It can be said that which group is Atletico Madrid, which group will become the `` death group ''.
In fact, many media also commented on the lottery group, "Atletico Madrid is a different number in the third grade."
Wan Sheng is complaining about the team's grouping. In fact, there is no team that wants to team up with Atletico Madrid. There is no doubt that Atletico Madrid is very strong. Last season until now, they will beat Barcelona four times. It is clear that Wan Sheng, as the head coach, is not very old in the coaching industry, but he has a lot of experience in leading the team. He knows the England team very well, and he has a lot of experience with Serie A, such as AC Milan. His experience is in Coupled with Atlético Madrid's strong strength, any team will have a headache.
But no matter what they thought, the lottery ceremony began.
Last season's Champions League summary and awards needless to say, the first is that Real Madrid and Lyon met together.
This is very interesting.
The two teams met in the third season, and Real Madrid broke the curse of losing to Lyon last season.
Spanish national sports commentator Fernandos Bob expressed sympathy for Lyon, "They either touched Real Madrid or Barcelona."
After that, Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk collided together. Shakhtar Donetsk is also a strong team, and some people think that this is also a ‘death group’.
The teams were drawn together, smiling and lamenting during the period, and finally it was the third-level team's lottery. On-site guest Powell drew a name for Group A-AthleticMadrid.
The scene exclaimed.
In this UEFA Champions League draw, the most watched team is Atletico Madrid. It is not that Atletico Madrid have a strong strength, but they are divided into the third grade.
Atletico Madrid dare not say that it is the first in Europe, but the third grade certainly does not meet their strength evaluation, so their group has attracted much attention.
Before Bayern Munich and Manchester City have been divided into Group A, the two teams met very promising, plus an Atletico Madrid.
"A forms a real death group!"
Bayern Munich is a traditional European giant. As the Bundesliga hegemony, Bayern Munich has always performed well in the Champions League. Not to mention being able to compete for the Champions League, but it is not difficult to enter the quarterfinals and quarterfinals.
Manchester City is also worth affirming.
Since 2008, when Wansheng led Manchester City to win the Champions League, Manchester City's results have fallen a bit the following year, but with the addition of a large number of stars, their results quickly recovered.
Last season, Manchester City achieved success. They won the third place in the league and won the FA Cup.
The Premier League has always been known for fierce competition. The Premier League first and the Premier League third are actually about the same strength. In addition, in the summer, Manchester City continues to spend a lot of money on acquisitions. The 77.5 million euros "standard king" Aguero need not talk about The £ 24 million Nasri is also a heavyweight transfer. In addition, Manchester City also introduced two new aids, Savage and Clichy, to make the lineup more complete.
Now that Manchester City are definitely stronger than last season, they are even considered to be strong contenders for the Champions League.
Then, it was Atletico Madrid.
In recent years, Atletico Madrid have only played in the Europa League, and have not shown their heads in the Champions League, but no one dared to underestimate their strength. Under the leadership of Wansheng, their competition with Barcelona and Real Madrid is the most powerful. Obviously.
Atletico Madrid are also popular in the Champions League. Although their winning situation is not optimistic, their strength is recognized.
Bayern Munich, Manchester City, plus an Atletico Madrid, one of the three teams will definitely be eliminated, the competition situation of Group A can be imagined.
The rest of the draw seemed to be unimportant.
The media started a heated discussion, and the head coaches of the three teams as the protagonists of Group A all looked a little ugly.
Manchester City coach Mancini ~ EbookFREE.me ~ never expected to lead Manchester City to participate in the Champions League, came up with such a difficult challenge; Bayern Munich coach Heinke only replaced Van Gaal in March, his third time Taking over Bayern Munich, leading the team into the Champions League is so dangerous.
Wan Sheng was also sullen.
He did n’t want to meet Bayern Munich at all. If there were no mistakes in his memory, Bayern Munich appeared in the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League final. However, he still does not want to meet such an opponent.
Manchester City?
Instead of looking at Manchester City's results, it's enough to look at Manchester City's stars.
Manchester City ’s lineup is so gorgeous, such a team can really happen, and the poor playing may be lost to the small ball club, playing well can make the giants helpless.
Such two opponents ...
Until he returned to Madrid, Wan Sheng was still thinking about the UEFA Champions League grouping. The last Naples to enter Group A seems to be of no importance. Wan Sheng scolded Powell, who represents the draw for Group A, to his death, and then smiled and shook his head. He felt that he was really troubled. When he learned that the team was in the third grade, he was already ready to be scored. To prepare for the death team, the opponent is not Bayern, maybe it is replaced by Manchester United, not Manchester City, or maybe Lyon. In short, no matter which team is difficult to deal with.
Most importantly, the team must perform well.
As long as you work hard and conscientiously to deal with every game, no matter who the opponent is in the group, Atletico Madrid will become the qualifying team.
Wansheng firmly believes!
