Chapter 490 State Ups and Downs and Champions League Draw
Chapter 70 Ups and downs and Champions League draw
Losing in the Champions League does not affect Ancelotti's mood.Anyway, the last round of the group stage has nothing to do with Manchester United.

However, the head coach of CSKA Moscow, who won the third place in the group, criticized Manchester United for "lack of competitive sportsmanship" after this round. CSKA Moscow, who won the third place in the league and can only play in the Europa League, is quite unhappy.

But Ancelotti did not respond to this at all.If you have the ability, CSKA Moscow also won the first place in the group one round ahead of time. In a game where Manchester United won't matter if they win or lose, Ancelotti will send the main lineup to fight Wolfsburg if he has a brain hole. .

CSKA Moscow's remarks after the game can only be regarded as a far bark of a negative dog.

After the UEFA Champions League group stage is over, the UEFA Champions League will come to an end. The next stage of the UEFA Champions League will be held in February next year. Currently, Manchester United can concentrate on domestic events in England.

The UEFA Champions League draw ceremony will be held on December 16. Before that, on December [-], Manchester United will usher in the No.[-] round of the Premier League. Manchester United will challenge Bournemouth in an away game.

In this game, because Herrera received a yellow card in the last round of the league, he was suspended for one game due to accumulated yellow cards and was unable to play. In addition, Fellaini was still recovering from his injuries. Manchester United's midfield personnel began to be a little stretched.

Fortunately, Carrick can take the place of Herrera. After several weighings, Ancelotti decided to adjust the formation to 4231, from three midfielders to double midfielders. This is also a helpless response to the wave of player injuries lift.

But fortunately, Bournemouth did not pose much threat to Manchester United at home.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Bournemouth [-]-[-] away.

Nani and Rooney, who got the chance to start, scored for Manchester United.Li Qingshan once scored a goal with a header in the game, but was whistled for a foul before the header and the goal was invalid.

Frustrated, Li Qingshan went up to argue with referee Atkinson, but was shown a yellow card. If Captain Rooney hadn't pulled Li Qingshan away, maybe Li Qingshan would have been suspended for the next round with a red card.

Not scoring a goal made Li Qingshan a little reconciled, but fortunately the team finally won the game.

So far, this is the second Premier League game in which Li Qingshan has not scored a goal. In the last four Premier League games, he failed to score in two games. Li Qingshan's scoring efficiency seems to be slowly declining. The media breathed a sigh of relief.

21 goals were scored in the [-] rounds. This kind of scoring efficiency really makes other Premier League teams a little breathless.

However, since Manchester United drew with Manchester City, Li Qingshan's scoring rate seems to have also been affected. He only scored two goals in the last four rounds. It seems that this striker who made the entire Premier League tremble at the beginning of the season may have entered a downturn. Expect.

It is normal for a player to fluctuate, and Ancelotti didn't feel that much of a surprise. Li Qingshan has maintained his hot state at the beginning of the season all season, which makes Ancelotti feel unrealistic.

Every striker's state has peaks and troughs, which is also normal. Whether a striker can score goals sometimes depends on his own ability. It cannot be said that Li Qingshan's performance was not good, and the failure to score was also caused by many factors.

Li Qingshan also felt that his recent scoring luck was unlucky, but he attributed this to the fact that the league opponents stepped up their efforts to let go of him. Therefore, his training in the football training camp was even harder.

...........
The day after the end of this round of the league is the draw ceremony for the Champions League round of [-].

The draw ceremony took place at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.For all the teams that qualify first in the group, the best draw is from the Belgian team Ghent, and the worst draw is Juventus, which is second in the group.

The order of the UEFA Champions League draw is to first draw a team that ranks second in the group, and then draw lots after excluding the team that won the first place in the group from the same league and the same group.

Roma was drawn first, and then the former Inter Milan captain, who was the guest of the lottery, came on stage to draw Roma's opponents. Under the watchful eye of the live camera, the video showed that his hand reached into the middle of many small balls and directly grabbed the "specific" one. , and then "pretended" to stir around in the middle of the ball, as if to "cover people's eyes and ears".In the end, his hand never left the small ball he caught in the first place.When he took out the note inside the ball, it showed Real Madrid as the team.

Such a move has aroused people's infinite reverie. Most people think that Zanetti knew that Real Madrid was in the lottery, and then he was drawn out in order for Real Madrid to face Rome in the top [-]. .

Every year when the lottery comes, all kinds of conspiracy theories come to the fore.

Many fans are convinced that the UEFA Champions League draw matchup is manipulated by UEFA.Some media even speculated that some balls on the lottery balls were hot, or some balls were wrinkled. At that time, the lottery guests only need to pull out the hot balls to achieve the purpose of manipulating the lottery results.

Although there are doubts about the lottery, it is also a tense moment for many fans at this time. Everyone hopes to draw a good lottery in the knockout round of the sixteenth round to make the Champions League schedule easier.

However, these are just speculations by the media and fans, and there is no direct evidence to prove that UEFA manipulated the group draw.

For Manchester United's executive president Ed Wardwood, who was involved in the draw ceremony, he didn't care about Rome's draw to Real Madrid. Of course, he cared more about who Manchester United's opponents were.

When Juventus was drawn to Bayern Munich, it could be clearly seen that there was a grateful inhalation in the hall of the draw ceremony.This of course includes Edward Wood.

No one wants to draw Juventus, and the most powerful opponent in the second place in the group has been drawn, which means that the probability of Manchester United encountering a difficult battle in the top [-] is greatly reduced.

Manchester United's luck also seemed to be very good. When the Ghent team was drawn, the top players in the group looked expectantly at the hands of the guest commentators who were stirring in the lottery.

This opponent is obviously what all the first in the group are looking forward to.

Finally, Edward Wood couldn't help but smile when United were drawn.

Manchester United have drawn Ghent!
This is almost a guarantee for the quarter-finals!

The draws for other teams followed suit.

In the Premier League, Arsenal once again encountered Barcelona. There is no doubt that Barcelona is the last opponent Arsenal wants to meet, but they seem to have a special fate with Barcelona.

Sixteen Lang in the Champions League every year, and then he met Barcelona, ​​Wenger was also very helpless.

Chelsea faced Paris Saint-Germain.This is a matchup between two Gold Dollar teams.Abramovich's entry into Chelsea opened the golden dollar football era. The revival of Paris is completely based on the Chelsea team building model. Now the book strength of the two rich teams is indeed indistinguishable. The combined value of the players on both sides exceeds 9.1 million euros. He said that it is really difficult for Chelsea, which has experienced a major landslide this season, to pass the level of Paris.

Manchester City's signing luck is also good. They drew Kipdynamo. Apart from the long away journey, this opponent is not too difficult to deal with.

The English media generally believe that Manchester United and Manchester City will definitely enter the quarter-finals, while Arsenal and Chelsea are hanging.
