Chapter 101 Champions League Grouping
Chapter 101 Champions League Grouping
At this time, the UEFA Champions League group group draw ceremony for the 98-99 season was also held in Switzerland.
This year, the champion teams of the European leagues and the runner-up teams of the five major leagues are eligible to participate. After two rounds of qualifiers, the champions of the small country leagues and the top eight UEFA league runner-ups competed to determine a total of 24 teams.
Now the influence of the Champions League is not particularly great, and it is far from the time and space before Li Tie traveled.
The current UEFA Champions League system is somewhat different from what Li Tie knows. The 24 teams are divided into 6 groups. The No. 6 and the two No. 1 with the best results in the 2 groups will enter the top 8, and then go directly to the knockout rounds in two rounds to determine the top 4, and then fight each other to decide two teams to compete for the final championship.
But soon, the format of the Champions League will change.
European football has been trying to confront FIFA and form high-level leagues or cups so that it will not be controlled by FIFA in the future.
The Champions League is an experimental field. It is said that some people have proposed to build a European Super League, but in this way, I am afraid that many balances will be broken.
Therefore, in the next two years, the Champions League will definitely expand its army.Get more teams involved and distribute market rewards.
With the expansion of the Champions League, the current competition system will be eliminated directly. If the historical trajectory is followed, the European Cup Winners' Cup will be canceled and merged into the Champions League. In this way, it will be enough to form 32 teams.
Of course, every competition has its history, and the current competition system must also be respected.
Regarding the UEFA Champions League draw ceremony, Li Tie had heard a little about it before crossing. It is said that UEFA will deliberately manipulate some teams into a group in order to increase the enjoyment of the game.
But it is still 1998, so it is estimated that this situation has not happened yet.
Li Tie also watched the live TV broadcast of the lottery ceremony, but did not go to the scene.
UEFA officials and some world celebrities participated in the draw ceremony. The current UEFA president is Johansson. He spoke at the draw ceremony, welcoming Kaiserslautern and other new players this season to join the Champions League.
Then, the draw began.
As the Bundesliga champions, Kaiserslautern has also become a seeded team.
When the previous teams settled in each group, the last seeded team to be drawn was Kaiserslautern.
Subsequently, teams from the second, third and last tiers were also drawn out to each group.
The group of death happens every year, and this time is no exception.
Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern and Brondby were divided into a group. From the reputation point of view, this must be a group of death.
Judging from the TV screen, the head coaches of these teams all showed bitter expressions. Only the No. 2 team with the best results in the group will qualify. This means that the three teams must be fighting to the end.
The result of the draw for Kaiserslautern is not bad, and they are in Group F with PSV, Benfica and Helsinki.
This is a top sign.
Although the Eredivisie champions and the Portuguese champions are not weak, their current strength is not the top of the top 24.
Avoiding the big teams, this is obviously a good sign for Kaiserslautern.
Although Benfica and Eindhoven have won the Champions League, it is a matter of the year of the monkey.
They are just a star processing factory for European giants, and they are quite good at cultivating stars, but most of the time, they make wedding clothes for others.
After all, the Eredivisie League and the Portuguese League are still the second-tier leagues in Europe.
Of course, although you can despise your opponents, Kaiserslautern still can't be careless when it comes to the game. To put it bluntly, the same sentence still works: there are no underdogs in Europe.
As for the Finnish team Helsinki, this is a soy sauce. It would be good if they can get out of the previous two rounds of qualifiers.
Finnish football does not have the ability to spoil the situation. Perhaps the weather at their home court is still an enemy.
With the end of the UEFA Champions League draw, the schedule has also become tense.
The first round of the Champions League group starts on September 9. Before that, Kaiserslautern will play Stuttgart and Hertha Berlin. After the first round of the Champions League group stage, they will soon play the fifth round of the Bundesliga with Nuremberg.
Within 11 days, four games, this is a high-intensity schedule.
However, this is also a time to test players. Isn't Kaiserslautern preparing so many outstanding players just to prepare for this kind of time?
At that time, the rotation system is inevitable.
On September 9, the third round of the Bundesliga began in full swing.
Players also returned to the team one after another, and Kaiserslautern came to the away game to challenge Stuttgart.
The Stuttgart team was the champion of the Bundesliga after the merger of East and West Germany, and their strength is not bad. Of course, this does not mean that Stuttgart is very good. In fact, there is no strong team in East German football. After the merger, most of the East German teams are soy sauce.
But now the Stuttgart team has also been split by strong teams, poaching a lot of corners.
The head striker Elber was poached by Bayern last year, and the troika disintegrated.
Losing Elber, the decline in Stuttgart's strength is inevitable, but last season, they still finished fourth in the league, with one win and one loss in the first two rounds of this season.
Coach Loew, who Li Tie is familiar with, has also left Stuttgart. There is no doubt that Stuttgart will go through a painful period, and if it is not done, it will be lost.
In the new season, they have introduced former Kaiserslautern players Rischer and Schjönberger, and they will also fight against their old masters.
Now is also a good opportunity for Kaiserslautern. It is reasonable to take advantage of the opponent's lineup and tactical changes to win the opponent.
Veteran Balakov is in pretty good condition, he is the last support force of this Stuttgart team.
At the press conference before the game, the coaches of both sides also spoke harsh words.
"We have found a way to deal with Kaiserslautern, we will contain Li Tie, but also strangle their strikers."
——"Contain Li Tie? I think the other party is obviously thinking too much. Many people want to contain Li Tie, but they have failed. On the contrary, Li Tie will contain Balakov. He has always done a good job, and this time is no exception."
Here comes the game.
Kaiserslautern's lineup has changed slightly.
Shao Jiayi replaced Malouda. The latter went to the French national team. His physical fitness may be slightly worse, and Shao Jiayi's injury has healed.
Zheng Zhi replaced Goethe and appeared at right back.
He has registered successfully and can play for Kaiserslautern's first team.
It is the first time for the Chinese troika to appear in the Bundesliga.
It's just that the positions of the three of them, one on the left, one on the right, and one in the middle, are a bit like three points and one line.
In the first 5 minutes, the Stuttgart team took control of the situation. Balakov did a good job, and his organizational skills were admirable.
Balakoff knew how powerful Li Tie was, so of course he wouldn't play in the middle.
Look for opportunities with wide passes from both sides.
In this way, Stuttgart's attack played well and took possession of the ball.
Risher and Schonberg also played very excitedly against their former owners, making breakthroughs many times, but with little effect.
