football dynasty

With a famous guest being invited to the stage to announce the grouping of their respective teams, when the No. 4 guest, the famous Italian Cannavaro (now the head coach of Evergrande), came on stage, the grouping situation was basically clear.

Liverpool's Group B now consists of Liverpool, Schalke 04 and Olympiakos. The overall strength is clear. UEFA does not seem to be planning to let Liverpool, the first team to win consecutive Champions League titles, have a higher chance of dying in the group stage. Reduce the gold content of the Champions League.

The situation is a bit bad in Group A and Group E. Group A is currently Porto, Dynamo Kiev and Paris Saint-Germain respectively. Although Porto is in the second-tier Portuguese Super League, this team is a frequent visitor to the knockout rounds of the Champions League.In the past ten years, except for the third place in the group stage last year, Porto has reached the knockout stage, and has won the Champions League once.

Who can guarantee that he will not reach the Champions League knockout round again?

Dynamo Kiev is also one of the famous black shops in Europe. The reason why he can become a black shop is because he can perform well in the Champions League. Otherwise, Dynamo Kiev players only performed well in the Ukrainian Super League. How can those giants be reconciled? Take out tens of millions of euros to buy people?

In addition to this, the weather in Dynamo Kiev also made the Western European teams change their colors. The weather in Kiev in December is usually between zero and minus five degrees.It also means playing in Kiev, playing in ice and snow, on artificial turf that few Western European teams have to deal with.Players are also prone to injuries due to cold weather during the game.

Needless to say, Paris Saint-Germain, local tyrants.Spending money to buy people this summer, so far, they are even richer than Manchester City.Even if you despise and envy such a team from the bottom of your heart, you have to admit that this is a team with strong players.

Of course, some people think that the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain may not be able to handle this team well, but now the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain is called Ancelotti, which has to be taken seriously.

Ancelotti is not some unknown person, he has already proved his ability with his many years of coaching.

Of these three teams, it will not surprise anyone who enters the Champions League knockout stage. This is a close grouping.

Group E currently consists of Chelsea, Shakhtar Donetsk and Juventus. Both Chelsea and Juventus are giants, but Shakhtar Donetsk is not unknown. They are called Ukraine with the former Dynamo Kiev. There are two giants, including Mkhitaryan, Douglas Costa, Srna, Martins and other generals in the formation.

They achieved two consecutive championships in the league last season, defeated Dynamo Kiev, and won the Ukrainian Super League championship for two consecutive seasons. They also had cold weather to help them in Ukraine.

However, other teams with relatively good grouping situation still cannot relax, because in the fourth tier there are two teams that no one likes to be grouped together. They are Dortmund coached by Klopp, and there is Malaga.

Dortmund's strength is well known. Even if this team is constantly poached by domestic and foreign giants in the future, it still has a good vision and has cultivated a large number of stars.Such as Lewandowski, Gotze, Sahin, Shinji Kagawa, Barrios, Hummels, Aubameyang, Reus and so on.

Now there are Lewandowski on loan from Liverpool, Goetze, Hummels, and Shinji Kagawa who are still in Dortmund. In the end, "Little Rocket" Royce is naturally indispensable.

But when it comes to Malaga, I am afraid many fans feel a little strange.

Because in La Liga, the teams that fans are most familiar with are Barcelona and Real Madrid. Many fans joked that La Liga can be divided into three teams, one called Real Madrid, one called Barcelona, ​​and the other called other La Liga. team.

Judging from the standings, this is indeed the case. The league championship is often decided between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​while the points gap between No.3 and No.2 is extremely huge.

For example, last season, that is, the 2011-2012 season, the league champion was Real Madrid with 2 points, and the No.91 was Barcelona with 3 points.And how much is No.61's Valencia points? 4 points! No.58 Malaga has 5 points, No.56 Atletico Madrid has 6 points, and No.55 Levante has [-] points.

积分榜No.3到No.6，他们之间的分差都比较相近。然而No.2和No.3的分差却几乎是No.3的一半积分，这是一个让人感到绝望的分差。

So no matter how you look at it, Malaga should be a team that is not very strong.

However, this is not the case in fact. Malaga has actually been brilliant for a while.

Before the start of the 2010-2011 season, Abdullah al-Thani, a member of the royal family of Qatar, acquired the shares of Malaga and became the chairman of the team, but still maintained the leadership team of the past team and hired the previous chairman Sanz as the team chairman. team advisor.After taking office, he brought Porto coach Gesuardo Ferreira to Andalusia.

After Ferreira was fired on November 2010, 11, he quickly hired former Real Madrid coach Pellegrini as the team's new coach.With the support of Qatar's oil banknotes and the careful coaching of Pellegrini, Malaga reached the Champions League final for the first time in the 2-2011 season. The team has a large number of powerful players.

In the eyes of many football experts, if they are classified according to their strength, even if Malaga cannot enter the second tier, they still belong to the top teams in the third tier.

This also means that the group assigned to Dortmund and Malaga is likely to become a death group.

With Cannavaro's draw, Malaga was the first to be drawn out.

After seeing Malaga's group draw, many club representatives or head coaches couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Malaga was assigned to Group C and played in the same group as AC Milan, Zenit St. Petersburg and Anderlecht.

The representatives of Ac Milan are very confident, they are confident that their own strength is enough to basically lock a qualifying right.

The representatives of Zenit St. Petersburg and Anderlecht looked a little dignified. They knew that Malaga would be the last strong contender for the qualifying spot, and this team was difficult to deal with.
