After the league tournament, the last round of the Champions League group match starts. Valencia challenge Manchester United away. Because Manchester United have already locked in the first group and Valencia have locked in the second group, this game is more like a friendly match. In the end, Manchester United and Valencia will go out of group C hand in hand 1-1.
The next day, the number of qualification places of the eight groups in the Champions League was settled. Group a qualified for Spurs and Inter Milan; group B qualified for Schalke 04 and Lyon; group C qualified for Manchester United and Valencia; group D qualified for Barcelona and Copenhagen; Group E qualified for Bayern and Rome; group f qualified for Chelsea and Marseille; group G qualified for Real Madrid and AC Milan; group H: miner Donetsk, Arsenal.
The first group is Tottenham, Schalke 04, Manchester United, Barcelona, whites, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Donetsk miners. The second group is Inter, Lyon, Valencia, Copenhagen, Rome, Marseille, AC Milan and Arsenal.
Third in the group, Twente, Rangers Glasgow, Benfica, Basel, rubies Kazan, Sparta Moscow, Ajax and Braga will play in the Europa League.
This season's Champions League group match can be described as calm, all the top teams qualified, without a big surprise, if there is a surprise, it is Ukraine league leader Donetsk miner and Premier League fifth place Tottenham, respectively, beat Arsenal and Inter Milan to get the first group.
There are many young people in Arsenal and their record has been unstable. However, there is no strong team in group h. It is surprising that they are firmly held second in the group by the Ukrainian team.
Of course, the most surprising thing is the precipice degeneration of Inter Milan last season. In the league, Inter Milan are 6-5-4, 13 points behind the leader AC Milan, and they have fallen out of the league championship team. In the Champions League, they were defeated by the fifth spurs in the Premier League, and finally only got the second place in the group.
Inter Milan have not sold any champions except coach Jose and core Gao Xiaodong. It's really surprising that they have made such achievements. At the same time, it also proves the decisive role played by Jose and Gao Xiaodong in the process of competing for the treble.
As Donetsk miners and Tottenham's wonderful performance, so that the next Champions League eighth final is no longer strong and weak, with more focus.
After the end of the group stage of the Champions League, the most interesting thing is the draw of the knockout.
Although every draw of the Champions League matches is very transparent, and it seems very fair in the face of live broadcast all over the world, many fans think that UEFA is suspected of manipulating the draw in order to improve the audience rating because of the coincidence of some highly topical duels.
In fact, there are always rumors about the manipulation of the Champions League draw. Turkish journalist Kakar once revealed that UEFA cheated by setting a vibrator to control the vibration frequency of the ball during the draw.
In addition to this real person's method of disclosing information, there are many other rumors about controlling the draw in the Jianghu. For example, before the draw, the organizer can heat or cool a specific ball to make it look and feel different from other balls. In this way, when the guests draw lots, they can find the specific ball according to the temperature, which seems to the audience in front of the TV to be randomly selected. In addition, the weight of small balls can also be manipulated. By choosing different materials, the weight of small balls with the same shape will be significantly different, which is easy for guests to perceive. The first two are physical methods, and there is also a chemical method. UEFA sprays a chemical reagent called luminol on the ball. Under the light, the ball will have a special color, but it needs to wear special contact lenses to see. Ordinary people can't see it with their naked eyes.
Of course, these are just rumors and have not been confirmed. Whether UEFA has manipulated the draw or not is still a situation of believing or not.
On the day after the end of the group stage of the Champions League, UEFA held a draw for the Champions League quarter finals at its headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
As Manchester United will go to Stamford Bridge on the weekend to challenge the defending champions, it will be another battle of the season. If Manchester United can beat Chelsea away from home, it can really be said that they will win the League half way.
the United team attached great importance to the game, Ferguson stayed in Manchester to prepare for the game and did not play David. We went to Switzerland to draw lots.
At 12 noon, after training in the snow, Manchester United's players took a bath and ate and went to the tactical hall to watch the draw of the eighth finals.
According to the draw rules, Manchester United will definitely not meet Arsenal and Valencia, and the remaining six groups are likely to be rivals in the knockout.
There is no doubt that Copenhagen and Marseille are the two Manchester United want to meet, followed by Lyon and Rome, and Milan are the two men they don't want to meet. As the saying goes, the skinny camel is bigger than ma. Even if Inter Milan have fallen sharply in the league and the Champions League this season, they still have the foundation to win the treble last season. No one can say they can win them. AC Milan is second only to Real Madrid in the number of Champions League titles. They have rich experience in the Champions League. They have done well in the league this season. They are also Manchester United's natural enemies. In addition to Inter Milan, the last one Manchester United want to touch is AC Milan.This season's Champions League final is held in England's Wembley Stadium. The draw is drawn by Manchester United's famous player Sir Charlton. However, it snows in England and the weather is bad. Sir Charlton did not arrive in time. The draw is presided over by UEFA's director of competition, marcheti.
The first group to be drawn out is Rome. Rome is very lucky. The first group to be drawn out is the Donetsk miner. With such a good signing, Rome, with average strength, can expect the top 8.
Then AC Milan came out in second place. Manchester United's players and coaches were a little nervous, but Tottenham won the prize and their opponents became AC Milan's opponents.
Then Valencia, Arsenal were drawn out, their opponents were Schalke 04 and Barcelona.
Arsene Wenger, the head coach of Arsenal, was frustrated. Before the match, he hinted that UEFA would let Arsenal draw the strongest Barcelona, and the result was just what he wanted.
However, Arsene Wenger can't blame luck or UEFA. If Arsenal get the first place in the group, they can't touch Barcelona. In competitive football, food is the original sin.
Next, Lyon and Real Madrid this pair of old enemies were also drawn together, for this strong Real Madrid is not afraid, Jose is still a defiant expression, it seems that Lyon repeatedly eliminated Real Madrid in the eye.
Then Marseille was drawn by Bayern Munich, and finally there were two groups left. The second group was the strongest Inter Milan and the weakest Copenhagen, while the first group was just left with Chelsea and Manchester United who were going to play in the league.
One out of two, 50% possibility, Manchester United players are nervous, they don't know whether the opponent will be Inter Milan or Copenhagen, but the difference between the two is big, if you draw Inter Milan, even if you can win, it is estimated that you will have to go to the skin, but if you draw Cobain Hagen, it is almost like eating Haagen Dazs, relaxed and happy.
"It must be inter, revenge. That's what UEFA likes to do
"Yes, Gao Xiaodong's home is more attractive."
"Black box operation again."
"God bless us, give us Copenhagen."
"It's time for us to be lucky."
……
Manchester United players are talking and most people have a hunch that they will be the victims of UEFA's ratings increase.
