Chapter 725 Chapter [039] - Return to the League - [Today's third update]

The 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League grouping has already been formed. The last runner-up Inter Milan and Werder Bremen, Totlam Hotspur, and Twente were assigned to Group A. This group is also recognized as a major death group in the UEFA Champions League this season.

From the change of Moratti's facial expression, we can see the breath of death in Group A: when he first entered the venue, Inter Milan giant Moratti was full of spirits. Although his players were retreating in the individual awards, his face was still very good.However, when the lottery results came out, everyone could see Moratti's gloomy face.

It is not difficult to imagine that at this moment, what Moratti is thinking about is, from Werder Bremen, to Totlam Hotspur, and then to the Eredivisie champion Twente in the 09/10 season.This is definitely one of the most difficult and average strength groups among the 8 groups this season.Different from the luxurious scene of Auxerre singled out 20 crowns and three giants in Group G (Real Madrid won the Champions League 9 times, AC Milan 7 times, Ajax 4 times), the breath of death in Group A is undoubtedly even worse.

As the runner-up of the last competition, Inter Milan's strength is beyond doubt. In all the leagues and cups played in last season, Inter Milan won all three titles except the UEFA Champions League, and now it is moving towards a bigger goal.Mourinho's farewell didn't break up the Nerazzurri. This summer, Inter Milan retained all the main heroes of the Triple Crown except Balotelli and Sneijder. Under the training of the tactician Benitez, Inter Milan's 4231 formation is more mature. It pays more attention to control while maintaining a solid defense. Winning the Italian Super Cup is just the beginning of "brilliance" in Benitez's mouth.

As the more outstanding team in the second tier, Bremen was assigned to the same group as Inter Milan this time. This is undoubtedly a not very favorable signal for Inter Milan, Tottenham and Twente.In the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 08/09 season, Inter Milan lost 1-2 to Werder Bremen and finally could only qualify as the second in the group.

In the just-concluded UEFA Champions League play-offs, Bremen staged an incredible reversal that moved God. They fell behind 0-3 and in stoppage time, but stubbornly scored a goal and dragged into overtime. Pizarro completed the lore. The willpower of the Germans was once again fully demonstrated.In the words of the German media, this is a team that is good at performing miracles.Despite losing the absolute core of the midfielder Ozil in the summer, the rapidly growing Marin can make Bremen fans forget about Ozil, but the poor defense has always troubled Bremen's confidantes. If they encounter Gourcuff, Eto'o and Milito.

Tottenham undoubtedly play the role of spoiler in Group A.Under the leadership of Redknapp, Tottenham has gradually come out of the shadow of Juan Ramos and has become a quasi-rich club in the Premier League. This time, they are returning to the Champions League stage after 48 years. Modric, Palacios, Lunlong, Crouch and Defoe. Belly, but to be able to have the last laugh in the melee with Aston Villa, Manchester City and Liverpool at the end of last season, the strength of Tottenham should not be underestimated.

Twente is probably the least well-known team in Group A, but the other top three never dared to relax their vigilance. In the Eredivisie League in the 09/10 season, under the leadership of McLaren, they beat Ajax to win the Eredivisie championship with a slight advantage of 1 point. The talented striker Arnotovic introduced by Inter Milan last season is an outstanding product of Twente.Twente is most praised for their ability to play away games. Although they don’t have many big-name stars, they average 0.76 goals conceded per game, which is the highest in the Eredivisie League. Their outstanding defensive ability is quite similar to that of Inter Milan. There will definitely be many "contradiction" disputes in Group A.

This is definitely the death group of the UEFA Champions League this season. Of course Xu Zhou and the others don't care about this, what they care about is the situation of their own group C.In this season's UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony, Manchester United's name was drawn out first. As a result, their luck in the draw was quite good. They avoided all three strong teams one by one. It should not be a problem to easily qualify for the first place in the group.

As long as Real Madrid is avoided in the second-tier teams, the rest of the teams have almost no difference to Manchester United, and the threat is not too great. Valencia has sold the two core players of Villa and Silva this season, and the current economic crisis has not been lifted.

Manchester United and Valencia met twice in the Champions League ten years ago, both in the second stage of the group stage. In the 1999-2000 season, Manchester United defeated their opponents 3-0 at home with the goals of Keane, Solskjaer and Scholes.In the second season, Manchester United drew with their opponents at home and away. The two teams advanced together with 0 points. Valencia ranked first in the group because of an extra goal difference.However, in the UEFA Cup in the 0-6 season, Manchester United was eliminated once by an opponent 13-10 at home and 12-1982 away, but the time has been too long.

Facing Rangers, Ferguson should have mixed feelings. This is the team he played for in his player days. Rangers are no strangers to Manchester United. In the 2003-2004 season, they beat Rangers by four goals at home and away in the group stage.Moreover, the two overlords of the Soviet Super League have regressed significantly in the European competition in recent years. In the past four seasons, Manchester United have met Celtic in the group stage twice with ease.

As for Turkey's new champion Bursaspor, although they are very mysterious, judging from the team's history of only participating in two seasons in European wars, this new team has relatively little experience and is very likely to play the role of accompanying the prince to study in this group.Bursa Spur is unknown from the players to the coach. As long as Manchester United pays attention to Turkey's always fanatical away games, the problem should not be big.

In fact, this group grouping is very dominant for the entire Premier League. Of course, apart from Tottenham, which is in the third tier, Chelsea is in Group F, with Marseille, Sparta Moscow, and Srina in the same group.Among the three opponents, Marseille is slightly stronger, but Deschamps' team let go of the core Niang this summer, and powerful players like Balbuena and Ben Arfa are also on the verge of leaving the team. Compared with last season, Marseille's strength has been slightly weakened.In order to make up for the vacancy left by Niang's departure, Marseille introduced two members of the French national team, Remy and Gignac. However, judging from the new season's competition, the two need further adaptation to integrate into the team.The Ligue [-] has finished three rounds, and the team's top scorer turned out to be left-back Taiwo, which also shows from one aspect that Marseille's current lack of attack power.This will definitely not pose much threat to Chelsea.

Spartak Moscow from Russia and Slina from Slovakia will not cause trouble for Chelsea.

The most unfamiliar is the Slovak champion team Zilina.Zilina is a city in northwestern Slovakia.of Central Slovakia.On the banks of the Vach River, 72 kilometers away from Ostrava in the northwest.Compared with the other three teams, Zilina is an out-and-out stripped-down team. Most of the team's players are from Slovakia. Including the Argentine Vitor introduced in the new season, Zilina has a total of 5 foreign players. Zambian striker Cisse is the leader of the team.The team's coach is the 41-year-old Happel. He took office in July 09 and won the league championship in his first season in charge of the team. When it comes to the bigger stage of the Champions League, the young coach looks forward to creating even greater miracles.

It is not easy for Zilina to enter the UEFA Champions League group stage. In the 2010-11 UEFA Champions League qualifying round (4th round of the playoffs), Zilina showed strong combat effectiveness in the two rounds of the contest with Sparta Prague. After defeating Sparta Prague with one goal at home in the second round, the team advanced to the top 1 with a huge advantage of 3-0 in two rounds.

Arsenal in the Premier League are divided into Group H, the members of the same group are Shakhtar Donetsk, Braga and Red Star Belgrade.Judging from the overall strength of the opponent, Arsenal has drawn a good lottery. After all, it is very ideal to be able to avoid difficult teams like Real Madrid and Bremen.Shakhtar Donetsk, Braga, and Partizan Belgrade all have certain strengths, but they cannot surpass Arsenal. If Arsenal can make good use of the home game and keep a tie and win the away game, it will not be a big problem to qualify.

Compared with the good luck of the Premier League, Serie A and Bundesliga are really unlucky.Werder Bremen are fighting against Inter Milan and others in the A group. Bayern Munich also has to compete with Roma. The only Bundesliga team that did not enter the competition is Schalke 04, but Schalke 04 is not much better. They are harassed by Benfica and Lyon.And AC Milan, the only one in Italy to escape the competition, had to compete with Real Madrid for food.

Speaking of this, I have to talk about La Liga. Apart from Barcelona, ​​La Liga is relatively easy, and Real Madrid is miserable enough. They have to compete with AC Milan, Ajax and Auxerre for places.

Of course, there is also Valencia in La Liga, and their situation is not going anywhere. They have to face the defending champion Manchester United, and they have to guard against the sneak attacks of Glasgow Rangers and Busasburg.Look at the situation of La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga. The Premier League has taken advantage of it this year. If the Premier League can't do something like this, then their name in Europe's first league will also change hands!

After the UEFA Champions League draw ceremony, Xu Zhou didn't even have a chance to say goodbye to Hayden Panettiere, so they flew back to England, because two days later, they had another league game at home against West Ham United.Although the strength of the Hammers is not very strong, the opponent plays very tough, and Manchester United dare not underestimate their opponents.

Back in the league, Xu Zhou, Van der Sar, Vidic and Rooney didn't start. They all sat on the bench. However, they all played in the second half of the game, because after this game, the Premier League will be on hiatus for two weeks, because the international match day is here again.

Xu Zhou did not score or assist in this game, but Manchester United still won the opponent [-]-[-] at home. Sneijder performed well in this game, scoring a goal and sending out an assist. Pea Hernandez scored twice, and Manchester United easily won the opponent.

Then, the team announced its disbandment. Players with national team missions all flew to their respective national teams, and those without national team missions stayed in the team.

That is to say, from the beginning of this international competition, the 2012 Poland-Ukraine European Cup qualifiers officially started. The Italian national team was divided into Group C, and they were in the same group as Estonia, Serbia, the Faroe Islands, Northern Ireland and Slovenia.

However, everyone didn't think so. Although the Italian national team defended the World Cup title, everyone knew that it was due to Xu Zhou.If Xu Zhou is stared to death, will the Italian national team still have something to do? ?

Besides, the World Cup champion coach Lippi has resigned, and Robert Donadoni will take over.He may not be familiar with the current Italian national team, and now the Italian national team has entered a transition from old to new. After Roberto Donadoni takes office, he will definitely recruit many young players and re-adjust tactics, so this Italian national team will not be very strong. Teams such as Serbia and Slovenia that participate in the World Cup still have a chance.

However, in the two games on September 9 and September 3, the Italian national team won. The Italian national team first defeated Estonia 9:7 in the away game, and then beat the Faroe Islands 2:1 at home. In these two games, Xu Zhou scored goals. !
After finishing the two national team games, Xu Zhou rushed back to England non-stop, because he will be in the league on September 9th to play away against Everton.
