Champion’s Heart

The draw continued, and CSKA Moscow was assigned to Group D as the second-tier team. In the same group with them was Bayern Munich. Atletico Madrid was assigned to Group G.

Now there are only two teams in the second tier that have not been drawn out, one is Dortmund and the other is Shakhtar Donetsk. There are only two groups that can accommodate them, one is Group A where Manchester United is located, and the other is Group F where Arsenal is located. No matter which group they are assigned to, they are all strong enemies.

Cruyff picked up one of the last two table tennis balls in the lottery box, opened it, took out a folded piece of paper, unfolded it, took a look at it, then turned it over and showed it to the camera. Also read: Dortmund.

Next, Figo is responsible for drawing out Dortmund's group.

He quickly got the result: Group F.

Dortmund and Arsenal are assigned to a group!

The live TV broadcast immediately gave Zhou Yi and Wenger a close-up shot. This shot was not given casually.

There have always been rumors that Arsenal is interested in Zhou Yi, and this summer, Arsenal actually made a purchase from Dortmund for Zhou Yi. Wenger has also told the media more than once that he affirmed and praised Zhou Yi. Everyone can see that Wenger really hopes that Zhou Yi can join Arsenal. Many Arsenal fans also regard Zhou Yi as a key figure in helping Arsenal re-emerge.

But it is a pity that Dortmund finally announced that it had successfully renewed Zhou Yi's contract. Zhou Yi stayed in Dortmund and did not go to Arsenal.

The two are not destined to be on the same team, but they are always destined to meet on the court...

In the UEFA Champions League group stage of the 2011-2012 season, Dortmund was assigned to a group with Arsenal. The history of the relationship between Zhouyi and Arsenal was revealed by the media at that time.

This time, Zhouyi met Arsenal again in the Champions League group stage.

After Dortmund was drawn out, everyone is now concerned about which teams will be placed in the same group as Dortmund. Besides Arsenal, who will be the teams in the third and fourth tiers?

Although it is the third and fourth tiers, it does not mean that there are no strong teams in these two tiers.

For example, the third-tier Serie A champion Juventus and the Premier League runner-up Manchester City, Galatasaray are also Turkey's traditional powerhouses, especially when they are at their own home court...

In the fourth level, there is Naples, a strong Serie A team.

Chinese fans certainly hope that the weak teams can be assigned to a group with Dortmund, so that Dortmund can at least qualify in the Champions League group stage without too much effort.

Although everyone knows that the chance of defending the Champions League is very small and very difficult, we still hope that Dortmund can go further in the Champions League.

After Dortmund was drawn, the Champions League group draw continued, and Shakhtar Donetsk was drawn into Group A where Manchester United is located.

Then the draw for the third-tier teams began, and the guest of the draw was Irving. Owen and Figo were drawn together, and they drew Basel into Group E, with Chelsea and Schalke 04. This gave Chinese fans a sigh of relief - it is not a strong team and should not threaten Chelsea and Schalke 04's Champions League qualification. They hope that eventually Yang Muge and Sun Pan can join hands to enter the Champions League knockout rounds.

Olympiacos from Greece is assigned to Group C, along with Paris Saint-Germain and Benfica. Chinese fans are also very happy. At present, except for Paris Saint-Germain, the other teams in this group are not very strong. It should not be difficult for He Ying to enter the Champions League knockout rounds.

The next one to be drawn was Galatasaray, who was drawn into Group F...and was assigned to the same group as Arsenal and Dortmund!

Holy shit! Death group!

Although the results of the lottery are not over yet, it has already led to such a depressing conclusion.

The so-called group of death does not mean that they are all the strongest teams, otherwise the four seeded teams can be considered a group of death when they are put together. The death group is close in strength, and each has an opponent who can kill the other, but may also be killed by the other. Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Galatasaraes fit this criteria perfectly.

Galatasaray is very competitive at their home court, and it is difficult for anyone to play there. If you underestimate this team, you will fall into trouble.

However, some people are sober and this result is not bad. After all, Juventus is not assigned to this group, which would be a more terrifying group of death...

※※※

Leverkusen is assigned to Group A. Zenit St. Petersburg went to Group G. Ajax is assigned to Group H and Manchester City is assigned to Group D. Juventus went to Group B, and together with Real Madrid and Marseille, it was considered a group of death.

After the teams in the third tier are drawn, it will be the turn of the teams in the fourth tier.

The guest of the fourth tier team draw is former Dortmund player Sosa. As a result, as soon as he came up, he assigned Naples, the strongest team in the fourth tier, to Group F of his former club Dortmund...

As soon as the results came out, not only the Chinese Internet, but also the scene was in an uproar - the real group of death in this Champions League group stage was born!

If Group B where Real Madrid, Marseille and Juventus were previously considered a group of death, then Group F where Dortmund is now the leader because no other fourth-tier team can compare with them.

Watzk knew that the camera was definitely pointing at him, so he refrained from covering his face with his hands. In fact, he really wanted to do so - Zhou Yi had such a mouth, how could he have forgotten that he was a famous wizard? ?

He really got it right, Dortmund was really assigned to the group of death!

Zhou Yi also said next to him: Is it really a death group? It's okay, Mr. Watzke, this is a good sign. Maybe we can defend the title this year?

Watzk, who was worried about being photographed, tried not to let his expression break down, but the muscles on his face still twitched uncontrollably...

Zhou Yi is so lucky... Some fans lamented on the Chinese Internet.

Last year it was the group of death, and this year it is still the group of death. Speaking of the 2010-2011 season, Dortmund's Group A was also the group of death. In addition to them, that group also included Inter Milan, Valencia and Twente.

Does it mean that the group Dortmund is in is the group of death?

Some fans asked such questions, and everyone was speechless. It seemed that they really meant something like this...

With Dortmund's strength, they are not a seeded team yet. They were a third-tier team before and are now a second-tier team. This means that they will definitely be grouped with a seeded team. If this seed If the team is not like Benfica or Porto, then there are two teams with similar strength in this group. If there is another team with similar strength, they will be a group of death.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Dortmund is a professional team of death. This situation may get better next year. If Dortmund still performs well in the Champions League this season and gets enough European points, they can join the ranks of seeded teams and be assigned to the group of death. The probability is not as great as it is now.

Arsenal, Dortmund, Galatasaray, Napoli.

Group F is the first group to gather four teams. No other team will be more dead than them. Even Group B, where Real Madrid and Juventus are both present, their fourth-level football It is impossible to find a better team than Naples.

The final draw results also proved this.

Group A: Manchester United, Shakhtar Donetsk, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Sociedad.

Group B: Real Madrid, Marseille, Juventus, Copenhagen.

Group C: Benfica, Paris Saint-Germain, Olympiacos, Anderlecht.

Group D: Bayern Munich, CSKA Moscow, Manchester City, Plzen Victory.

Group E: Chelsea, Schalke 04, Basel, Steaua Bucharest.

Group F: Arsenal, Dortmund, Galatasaray, Napoli.

Group H: Barcelona, ​​AC Milan, Zenit St. Petersburg, Austria Vienna.

Group G: Porto, Atletico Madrid, Ajax, Celtic.

Looking at it this way, Group F with Arsenal who were fourth in the Premier League last season, Borussia Dortmund who was the Bundesliga champion and the defending Champions League champion last season, Napoli who was the runner-up in Serie A last season, and Galatasaray who were the Turkish Super League champion last season are indeed in other groups. They are very prominent in the competition and are called the team of death in the Champions League this season. There is no doubt about it. Although it is not as good as last season and the one in 1999, it is still the group of death.

The results of the Champions League group draw are out, and the draw ceremony is over.

Next, it was finally the turn of the event that the Chinese media and fans were most looking forward to - the on-site selection and award ceremony of the best European players!

It was already late at night in Beijing time. Many Chinese fans who were a little sleepy in front of the TV also cheered up. They readjusted their sitting postures and rubbed their eyes. Some people took this opportunity to go to the toilet quickly. I'm afraid that I want to go to the toilet at a critical moment but don't have time.
