Chapter 283 Champions League Draw

After the end of World War II, football has been fully revived around the world. However, there are very few exchanges between national teams and club-level events.At this time, the Frenchman Gabriel Jarno proposed the idea of ​​creating the European Club Cup.
It has been 45 years since the first Champions League started.

During the European Champions Cup, I don't know how much has changed.There are more participating teams, the name has been changed several times, and the competition system has been adjusted repeatedly. It can be said that in the past 50 years, the European Champions Cup has always been changing.

The only constant is that the European Champions Cup is the highest honor for European clubs.

In this honor book, Real Madrid is the best.Including winning the European Champions Cup last season, Real Madrid has already won eight Champions League titles.It can be said that in the Champions League, the highest honor of European clubs, Real Madrid can overlook almost all European clubs.

It is precisely because of Real Madrid's outstanding record in the Champions League that Real Madrid has become the best club in Europe in the [-]th century.

Of course, now, the importance of the Champions League is becoming more and more prominent.Especially with the reform of the Champions League, more and more clubs are participating in the Champions League.The influence of the Champions League has far exceeded that of the previous Champions League.

Of course, as money has more and more influence on football, the Champions League, the highest competition for European clubs, has also become a competition that attracts a lot of money.As long as it can participate in the Champions League stably, then the club's finances will not have too many problems.

The current Champions League is already a hugely profitable game.

The TV broadcast fee in the UEFA Champions League, as well as the huge prize money, of course, tickets are indispensable.If the money is added up, it will be an astronomical figure in one season.Especially for a small team like Blackburn.

In future Arsenal, they owed a fortune to build a new stadium.

But the biggest reason they can sit firmly on Mount Tai is because Wenger can lead Arsenal into the Champions League every year.And every time they can break through the group stage, Arsenal have a lot of money every year, which can repay the loan.

If Arsenal, once unable to win the Champions League.Then the Arsenal club could easily collapse.You can also see the impact of the Champions League on a club.

If Blackburn wants to truly become a strong team, it must continue to participate in this high-level and influential game.

Williams wants to make Blackburn completely self-sufficient, and wants to make Blackburn the team in his mind.He's also going to make sure that Blackburn have to play the lucrative game every year.

George wants to become a world-class coach, so proving himself in the Champions League is the best way.

The current Champions League still has two rounds of group stage.There will be eight groups in the first round of the group stage, and four groups in the second round of the group stage.After that, it will be the quarterfinals.

The eight groups in the first round of the group stage are groups a, b, c, d, e, f, j, and h, and several seeded teams have already come out.

The seeded team in Group A is the giants Real Madrid from La Liga.

The seeded team in Group B is the Serie A powerhouse "Blue Eagle" Lazio.

The seeded team in Group C is the La Liga powerhouse "Bat Corps" Valencia.

The seeded team in Group D is Monaco from the French Ligue [-].

Group e seeded Italian giants "Old Lady" Juventus.

The seeded team in Group F is Bayern Munich, the German football hegemony.

The seeded team in Group G is the English giants Manchester United.

The seeded team in group h comes from the Italian giants ac milan.

From the current seeded team, we can also know that the current Champions League does need reform.In the current Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, and Bundesliga, powerful teams abound.Just like the Premier League teams that failed to enter the Champions League this time include Liverpool and Leeds United, both of which are stronger than Monaco.

There are also Inter Milan, Roma, Fiorentina, and Parma in Serie A. Their strength is also counted in European football.

However, due to the limitation of the number of places in the Champions League, none of them can participate in the Champions League.This is their loss and the Champions League's loss.It is very necessary to increase the number of entries in some powerful leagues.

After the UEFA Champions League seed team is determined, the next step is to draw other teams.

Except that Blackburn participated in the Champions League once five years ago, the Champions League is quite unfamiliar to Blackburn.Therefore, Blackburn can only be a fourth-tier team.We have to wait for the other teams to run out of draws before it will be Blackburn's turn.

Needless to say, Manchester United just dominated Europe last season.Naturally, it is the Champions League seeding team.

It is Arsenal, although they participate in the Champions League every year.But every year, they are playing soy sauce, and they have never broken through the group stage.As a strong team in the Premier League, it turned out that they didn't even make it to a seeded team.Together with Barcelona in La Liga, it is divided into the second-tier team.It has become the two most powerful teams among the second-tier teams.

According to the principle of avoidance of teams from the same country, it is impossible for Blackburn to meet Arsenal.

George secretly prayed in his heart that he would never fucking touch Barcelona.

Regardless of Barcelona's second-tier teams, their strength should not be underestimated.

When Barcelona was assigned to Group H, George frowned tightly.Arsenal, on the other hand, were assigned to Group E.

In this way, these two groups will easily form a group of death.Everyone is looking forward to seeing if there will be a real group of death.Sure enough, when the third-tier team was drawn, everyone took a deep breath.

The third-tier team drawn in Group E is Deportivo, and the team drawn in Group H is the Bundesliga powerhouse Hamburg.

La Coruña was the champion of La Liga last season, while Hamburg is a traditional strong team in the Bundesliga.All media are excited.

Group E already includes Juventus, Arsenal, and Deportivo.And Group H is not far behind, AC Milan, Barcelona, ​​Hamburg.Really a group of death.

George gloated a little.Of course, there is still some fear in my heart.

Mum, it would be a disaster to have Blackburn in both groups.At this time, George could not care about anything else, and began to pray in his heart.Hongjun Daozu, Sanqing God, Jade Emperor, you must protect me and never let me enter these two groups.

The draw for the fourth-tier teams began, and George hardly dared to open his eyes.

The first subtitle to be taken out was e. George opened his eyes and smiled unkindly after reading it.I don't know which unlucky guy will be mixed into the group where Juventus, Arsenal, and Deportivo are.

Immediately afterwards, a small ball was drawn out, and after opening the small ball, a small note was taken out.After opening the note, turn him over to face the audience.Then he laughed and shouted: "Panathinaikos."

George heard the voice of a wry smile in front of him.

George knew this was supposed to be a representative from Panathinaikos.Being drawn into Group E, there was no possibility of breaking through.

The second letter drawn is b, and all the fourth-tier teams are waiting nervously.

Because Group B is considered a very good group.The fourth-tier teams, except for teams like Blackburn, are basically weak teams.Their biggest wish is to join a relatively weak group. If they are lucky, they may be able to break through.

The current three places in Group B are Lazio, Shakhtar Donetsk, and Sparta Prague, which are the weaker groups in all group matches.The group that is as weak as Group B is Group D, they are Monaco, Galatasaray, and Glasgow Rangers.

A small ball was drawn out quickly.After showing it to everyone, the name of the team was revealed. "Blackburn!"

When he heard Blackburn's name, George couldn't help standing up and shaking his fist from top to bottom.Very good!The result of this draw is simply to walk Blackburn into the next round of the group stage.

In the first round of the group stage, I will definitely break through, and I will definitely be able to break through.Sparta Prague and Shakhtar Donetsk are clubs far from the mainstream league.And now is not the time to be upset, their strength is very limited.George didn't worry about them.

The strongest player in this group is Lazio.

Among the current Lazio are Nesta, Mikhailovich, Nedved, Veron, Simeone, Crespo and other world-class superstars.And just won the Serie A championship last season, which is a time when morale is high.

However, this group can have two spots.

George believes that with Blackburn's strength, he will be able to break through the group stage.

Ferguson and Wenger looked at George and shook their heads.Kid George is so fucking lucky!

Wenger is now in the mood to commit suicide.Arsenal turned out to be in the death group. It was very difficult to break through the Juventus and Deportivo group.

Ferguson was also in a normal mood.Although Eindhoven and Dynamo Kiev are not strong opponents, they are not weak teams either.

Only George, obviously a fourth-tier team, was so lucky to meet the weakest group.

Not only George was excited at the scene, but the Blackburn fans who were watching the group stage draw in Blackburn also raised their hands and cheered at that moment.At that moment, the entire Blackburn City fans who followed the draw for the group stage were all excited.

But Moskesparta and Shakhtar Donetsk are sullen.This group turned out to be the weakest group, and both of their teams have the possibility of breaking through.But Blackburn actually intervened, greatly reducing the possibility of the group breaking through.

Although Blackburn is a fourth-tier team, they were the UEFA Cup champions last season.

Being able to participate in the Champions League also shows that Blackburn is the top three teams in the Premier League.The two teams secretly cursed UEFA in their hearts, why did such a strong team end up in the fourth tier.Does this still let us live?
