Champions League draw
After the Super Bowl, Schuster began the final physical reserves.You know, every year Real Madrid will fight on three fronts.For the giants, although the players in the first team can be called bloated, this is a must-have player configuration for multi-line combat.Especially for Real Madrid, the world's number one giant.
But no matter how many players there are, there are always a few who cannot be replaced.
Gago is the first irreplaceable player in Schuster's mind. The Argentine genius has the perfect potential of all midfielders.
Organization, scheduling, passing, breakthrough, shooting... proficient in everything, omnipotent.
As long as Zidane was off the field in Real Madrid during the Galaxy Battleship period, the offense on the field would be chaotic.And now Real Madrid, as long as Gago is off the court, Real Madrid's offensive firepower will drop by at least half.This is not to say that Gago is stronger than Guti, but that the characteristics of the two are different.
Guti is the kind of killer midfielder who is good at breaking deadlocks in a fine range, but he will never be a top midfielder because he lacks a big picture.Standing in the midfield, the overall situation is under control of the rapidly changing situation on the field.
And Gago is a perfect midfielder who has both. Last season, his organization and scheduling in the midfielder position at the beginning of the season was full of genius. The clear command and dispatch made many celebrities admire.In the latter part of the season, due to the lack of assaulters in the team, his breakthrough shots and crosses from the wing showed the demeanor of a general.The overall situation is excellent, and the details are also well-received by Master Fourteen. Gago's future is optimistic about countless celebrities.
Now Real Madrid can have this kind of overall view, and the only midfielder who can hold the rhythm is Gago.
Sneijder can speak well in terms of offense, but he doesn't have the atmosphere of Gago's offensive and defensive transition, nor does he have the keen insight to judge the best result in an instant.
Schuster embarked on a plane to Switzerland with the tactical thinking of the first league game of the new season to participate in the draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League group stage.
Although Real Madrid has been blocked from the top eight for many years, it is still ranked first. It is worth mentioning that last season's Bundesliga champion Stuttgart and runner-up Schalke 04 were both ranked third due to lack of background.It can be said that as long as the two of them are in the group, it is the group of death.Because there are no ordinary characters in the first grade and the second grade.
Although it was the first time for Schuster to participate in such an occasion, the attention he received was not lower than that of some famous head coaches.Because he represents Real Madrid, although Real Madrid's disgraceful Shiliu Lang career in the past few years, Real Madrid's performance in the Champions League last season was amazing.If it wasn't for meeting the final champion AC Milan in the quarterfinals, I'm afraid they could go further.
The combination of Raul and Ruud van Nistelrooy, the first and second super scorers in the Champions League, made all the giants unsure of keeping a clean sheet.And after getting Gago, a super genius in the midfield, the strength of Real Madrid stars will not be fully stimulated.Had it not been for the first leg of last season's Champions League at San Siro where Gago was injured, I am afraid that AC Milan would have capsized in the gutter.
Of course, people with this kind of thinking didn't know that Gago was already useless after using the ultimate skill at that time.
Although Schuster is more eye-catching than the head coaches of the teams in Norway and the Czech Republic, there is still a clear gap compared with Mourinho and Ferguson, the big names who stomp their feet in the Premier League.
Before the lottery, the first is the award ceremony, AC Milan is the big winner, Maldini, Seedorf, Kaka respectively won the best defender, best midfielder, best forward award, Kaka even won the best player award.Regarding these awards, everyone present had no opinion. After all, Kaka was too domineering last season, and his invincible attitude of turning the tide by himself conquered all the media.
After eliminating Real Madrid, in the semi-final against Ferguson's Manchester United, Kaka completely blew up the Red Devils' defense by himself. He performed a hat-trick in two rounds and completely made this Brazilian young man sit on the altar.
The Ballon d'Or at the end of this year and the World Player of Football are no surprises in his pocket.The only surprise is that Riquelme, who led Argentina to the Copa America, ended the 14-year dark years of the Nerazzurri without a championship. His voice is also very high.
But in the eyes of experts and celebrities, the biggest possibility is still Kaka, who alone brought AC Milan, who was at a low point, to the final and won the cup in the end, demonstrating his personal heroism to the extreme.However, Argentina's ability to win the America's Cup is generally considered to be insufficient in gold content, because there have always been only two teams in South America that Argentina can play.
And everyone thinks that the biggest contributor to Argentina's victory is not Riquelme.There is no way, Argentina's lineup in the America's Cup is too luxurious, with players who can rank among the top five in football in every position. With such a lineup, winning the championship is a matter of course.And in the final, it was Gago who stood up, and he helped Argentina win the championship with two goals.
Although the Golden Globe Awards and World Footballer value group honors, they also pay great attention to individual performance.Historically, Messi's Barcelona in 07 and 08 was empty-handed, but it still ranked No.2 in the Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year selection, because the goals he scored in La Liga were so beautiful.
After the award ceremony is the draw ceremony that all coaches pay most attention to.
However, the four head coaches of the Premier League generally expressed their calmness about the result of this draw, because they are all first-tier teams.In their minds, there is no group of death.Because none of the teams in the third and fourth tiers are worthy of their attention.Last year's Champions League semi-finals and the Premier League won three places. Fortunately, AC Milan fought hard and saved the last bit of conscience for Serie A.
This year Ferguson said in an interview that he must take revenge, because he believes that his team has reached its peak and can win the Champions League again.
After Mourinho's Chelsea has performed brilliantly in the Champions League over the past few years, it is the first time this year to attend as the first seed.But these did not make him happy. As the conflict between him and Abramovich became more and more intensified, Magic Bird's life at Stamford Bridge became more and more difficult.It is said that Abramovich is already looking for a replacement for Mourinho.
Last year's runner-up, Liverpool, also attracted media attention. For the first time, Benitez's dull face made reporters so annoying. How can we guess your mood?Now Lily still looks tall, handsome and rich. Although Benitez was overwhelmed by Ferguson, Mourinho and even Wenger in the league, once he reached the Champions League schedule.Fatty Bei immediately turned from receiving to attacking, and will vent his anger in the league.
The miracle in Istanbul two years ago made him a top coach. Although he did not win the Champions League final again this year, it still raised his reputation to a higher level. Now he is the savior in the hearts of Liverpool fans.And this year, Torres, the golden boy who introduced Atletico Madrid with a bid price of 600 million euros, made Liverpool's new season more optimistic.
As for the remaining Professor Wenger, he can still pretend to be handsome and rich to bluff people. Last year was Arsenal's last peak period.The professor made it to the Champions League final for the first time, but because he believed too much in the rookie, he dared not send the Ice Prince in the final, and finally achieved Ronaldinho's No.1 reputation in football.
After the final, the retirement of the Ice Prince caused Arsenal to lose the only remaining artist in football.This summer, Highbury's last superstar, Henry the Great, also went to Barcelona for honor. Although Wenger thought he could still cultivate a second Henry, the fact is that starting from this year, Arsenal began to step by step by a handsome man. Fu degenerated into a dick.It started a painful year for all Gunners fans to sell a captain.
However, this time the UEFA Champions League draw disappointed all the concerned media. The newly appointed Platini was even in the same bowl and did not make any death group.
In fact, Platini is also secretly cursing in his heart, do you think he doesn't want to make a gimmick of the group of death.But in the past few years, due to lack of background, Chelsea was not a first-tier team. As long as it was put into any group, the group of death would come out.But this year Chelsea officially counterattacked and became tall, handsome and rich. Looking at the second, third and fourth tier teams, there is no team that has Chelsea's demeanor, so they can only make a mediocre group like this.
But wait until the knockout stage, hum...
Platini said he knows what he knows!
Gago breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the result of the draw through the broadcast. Real Madrid was placed in Group C.The remaining three teams in the same group are Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, Lazio in Serie A and Olympiacos in Greece.In this group, Real Madrid was basically escorted out of the group.
Barcelona, which Real Madrid cares about, was placed in Group E, which is considered to be more difficult to qualify in all groups.Lyon, who has won six consecutive Ligue [-] titles, and Bundesliga champions Stuttgart, plus the Scottish Super League giants Glasgow Rangers.
If you look closely, Barcelona's Group E can barely be regarded as a death group.
After the results came out, the smile on Schuster's face never stopped, while Rijkaard's face was gloomy.He looked at Platini with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
Gago read a sentence from it.
"Don't dare to be so cheating, we are the first wealthy family in G14 to support you, why doesn't the aura of godfather shine on me?"
Platini seemed a little embarrassed, turned his head to avoid Rijkaard's eyes.
In fact, Barcelona's strength in this group is also overwhelming. What we need to avoid is that the other three teams will snipe them with all their strength in order to compete for the second spot. Real Madrid has risen strongly in the league. If too much energy is consumed in the Champions League , will be crushed by the sworn enemy.
