ball at foot

After the selection was over, it was time to draw lots.And when the lottery was being drawn, Zhao Yaning was also looking at those ping-pong balls-he had always suspected that those ping-pong balls were suspected of being fake.But after watching it for a long time, he also came to a conclusion: even if it was fake, he couldn't tell it, he really didn't understand this...

And soon, Zhao Yaning was a little surprised by the selected groups.

Chelsea drew Barcelona again-the two of them are really close friends, and they can meet every time.But it's not surprising if you think about it, isn't what they promote themselves the ultimate in power football and technical football?Since it's the ultimate, then it's good to meet again.How can UEFA make money if you don't let the two of you meet each other to the extreme and can't create topics?

Then, Bayern met Inter Milan - Zhao Yaning was looking forward to it this time.After all, Inter Milan has strengthened a lot this summer. Juventus fell, and they bought Ibrahimovic and Vieira. Moreover, they are also in the league. After strengthening, can they compete with Bayern?After all, this summer, Bayern is embarrassing enough.First, Ballack left, and then wanted to buy Aguero, but thought the price was too high. I don’t know if it’s because of the problem of repairing the stadium. Now Bayern, financially stretched, have not led the season so far, and their strength has declined significantly. How, it is hard to say.

Then, Liverpool drew PSV Eindhoven-this lottery is still good.Although Eindhoven is the top class in the Eredivisie and is now overwhelming Ajax, their strength is still not as good as Liverpool. [

Afterwards, Valencia drew Benfica, Manchester United drew Roma, Arsenal drew Porto, Milan was quite lucky to draw Athens, and Real Madrid obviously had the same problem as Barcelona, ​​and once again drew Lyon. The two strongest teams took home a...

"Why do I feel that this thing is fake every time after the lottery is drawn?" After the lottery was drawn, Zhao Yaning still couldn't help thinking this way.

And then, all the third and fourth teams were also drawn out, and seeing Liverpool's grouping, Zhao Yaning was also very satisfied.

The third team is Galatasaray, and the fourth team is Bordeaux.

"Galatasaray in Turkey, and Bordeaux in France."

When these two names were mentioned, Zhao Yaning was naturally very happy, "This is not a strong enemy!"

Needless to say, Bordeaux, Ligue [-] teams have similar characteristics, just like Lille and Paris, they are also soft-legged shrimps in the European war.Ligue [-] is not strong after all, but the league dividends are enough. Therefore, unless it is Lyon, Marseille, Monaco, other teams rarely waste their energy in the European war.After all, Galatasaray is not a mainstream league team. After all, the Turkish league is inferior. They are famous not because of their strength, but because they have a stadium that can be called the home of the devil.But for Liverpool, that stadium in Istanbul contains very good sweet memories.

In fact, among the teams in the third and fourth tiers, there are not many teams that can threaten the first tier.After all, it was not the turn of the century in the previous two years. The relationship between the restructuring of the Champions League group stage in the past two years has changed many things.As the two rounds of group matches became a topic of discussion, the possibility of the weak teams being lucky enough to score points was greatly reduced, and the dividing line between the strong and weak teams became more and more obvious. In 04, Porto and Monaco joined forces in the third and fourth tiers It's hard to happen in the finals.

Even if it is the most difficult group this year, it is just the three opponents that Inter Milan encountered Bayern, Sporting Lisbon and Spartak Moscow.A giant, a strong team, plus a Russian team, which made Inter Milan shout out the unfairness angrily, and even pointed out that the new UEFA president Michel Platini wanted to avenge Juventus.

Zhao Yaning doesn’t care about whether Platini is really comparable to Gendini. What he cares more about is that after returning to Liverpool, he will play the next league game.

Liverpool's fifth game against Chelsea.This game is very important for Liverpool. After all, two wins in four games is bad enough. If two wins in five games, what else is there to play?

And Chelsea is just as miserable. At the beginning of the season, they have already lost to Middlesbrough once.The entire Premier League is discussing their decline. At this time, when they meet Liverpool, the game can be regarded as an extremely important battle.

This game is Liverpool's first league game of strong dialogue in the new season. Liverpool still takes it quite seriously. The players lined up are also Reina goalkeeper, Maicon, Carragher, Hyypia, Li Thur is the defender, Sissoko and Alonso are the midfielders, Zhao Yaning and Figo are on both sides, Gerrard is in the middle, and Dirk is in front.

And Chelsea's lineup has also undergone a lot of changes.Cech is still in goal, with Ferreira, Carvalho, John Terry and Ashley Cole at the back.In the midfield, they surprisingly formed a diamond-shaped midfield combination. Ballack defended behind, Essien was on the right, Robben was on the left, and Lampard was in the midfielder position. On the front line, there were Shevchenko and Deloitte bar.

Is this Chelsea?Seeing their playing style, Zhao Yaning immediately felt awkward.Although such an arrangement cannot be said to be a big mistake, Zhao Yaning always felt that they played like this, and it seemed that they were not as powerful as last season.

Maybe it's my own overthinking.After all, the pressure that Chelsea brought to Liverpool last season was unprecedented, and Zhao Yaning inevitably felt that they were very powerful enemies.Now, seeing them make such a big change, even though Zhao Yaning has not seen them play, he already feels that they are not as good as last season.

However, after seeing the expressions of the Chelsea players, there was not much uneasiness or dissatisfaction. Zhao Yaning also had to admit that at least they looked good. Klinsmann’s coaching at least did not make them depressed. It is not easy to fight high-spirited.

Klinsmann is indeed a very charismatic coach, which everyone has to admit.

After the game started, Zhao Yaning was also watching the changes in Chelsea.Compared with when they met in the Community Shield, Chelsea has begun to undergo some changes, and Klinsmann has already put his mark on this team.It seems that they have paid more attention to pressing and attacking, and have increased the cooperation of frontcourt counter-attack and pass control, but they have given up a lot of the quick counterattack they used to dominate the Premier League.This is not surprising. There have always been rumors that Abramovich is dissatisfied with Mourinho's conservative and ugly tactics. If Klinsmann still dares to hold on to Mourinho's tactics, he probably won't be able to become a Chelsea coach. . [

But how strong are they, Zhao Yaning still feels that he has to try to know.

Soon, he got his chance.After Lampard sent a corner kick, Carragher gave the ball to Zhao Yaning.After Zhao Yaning received the ball, he immediately ran from his own penalty area to the opponent's penalty area.

The corner kick attack has just ended. At this time, Chelsea's attack has just ended, and it is too late to return to defense.Zhao Yaning's speed increased to the fastest, and at the same time, his eyes were looking for the defenders of the Chelsea players, but to his surprise, he didn't see anyone around him coming to defend him until he rushed to the vicinity of the penalty area.

Is this really Chelsea's defense?It's unbelievably hollow.In the past, Chelsea's defense was as tight as a bus, but now, such a defense can almost stop the bus.

Well, what more can I say!

Zhao Yaning stepped into the penalty area in one step, and Ashley Cole, who was chasing back, had no time to block. Zhao Yaning swung his thigh without saying a word, and kicked the ball towards the goal!

"gooool!!!!!! Zhao Yaning opened the scoring for the first time!!! Unbelievable, a long-distance attack of nearly 80 meters did not encounter any interception!"

In an instant, the entire stadium was boiling.What goal can be more impressive than a long-distance attack?Such a rush of tens of meters, scoring a goal by himself is enough to make anyone cheer!Even Zhao Yaning himself was just as excited and inexplicable at this time: He really didn’t expect that he could score against such an opponent, after all, it was Chelsea!

With the cheers, Zhao Yaning turned his head.He saw Ferreira, who had been chasing back, but couldn't keep up, Essien and Ballack, who had already chased back in the middle, and took another look, and he saw Robben standing near the midfield with his waist pinched. with.

It turned out that although this team still had its original shape, it was already in shape.Ballack is not Makelele. He will not feel at ease in the backcourt to defend, but wants to go to the frontcourt to shoot. After all, shooting in front of the goal is his strength.Robben left Mourinho and was finally relieved, no longer being forced to run back and forth, chasing and intercepting.And Essien and Lampard, I'm afraid they also have the heart, right?

Although Mourinho has a bad personality, he has advantages in tactics after all. Under his coaching, it is still impossible for him to think so well.But judging from this game, although Klinsmann's tactical reform ideas are very clear, it seems that the reform has not been completed yet.

A team, three new aids, a new formation, and a new coach at the same time, it is not always easy to complete the reform.

Since you have carried out meaningless reforms in a good manner and have not completed the reforms now, then don't blame us for taking advantage of you.

Zhao Yaning waved his hand to signal his teammates to continue to strengthen the offensive, but did not choose to back down.To Zhao Yaning’s surprise, Chelsea’s midfielder has obviously improved in terms of attack. They are no longer playing simple wing breakthroughs. .

It's just that this kind of progress won't be able to defeat a stable and mature team so quickly.

Before the end of the first half, Zhao Yaning finally found another opportunity. He kicked the ball into the penalty area with a cross. , the person closest to him turned out to be Figo who also ran into the penalty area.

There seems to be something wrong with Chelsea's defense, and even Dirk Dirk can take it easy.Then, take this opportunity and make another move.

Before the end of the game, Zhao Yaning made a free kick and hoisted it into the penalty area again. Vidic scored with a header again!

"The gap between Chelsea and Liverpool now seems to be very obvious."

The commentator’s words were a little surprised. Liverpool obviously didn’t become much stronger. In other words, Chelsea weakened. “The score of 30 is simply an incredible thing in the battle between red and blue. In this game, Liverpool declared itself The confidence to win the championship, and Chelsea need time to regenerate."

This kind of Chelsea is no longer like Chelsea, and it doesn't make much sense to kill them.Zhao Yaning said a few words with emotion. Changing coaches is like changing knives, especially the coach who Chelsea just drove away and laid the foundation for them. After such a change, they will of course be silent for a while.

After winning this victory, Liverpool also got a chance to breathe.Being able to beat their opponents 30 times, Liverpool's inspired fighting spirit should also be added with confidence.Chelsea is not worthless, at least they have helped Liverpool improve. [

"You played well." After the game, Zhao Yaning thought about it, took off his jersey, and walked towards Lampard, "Given some time, you will get better."

"Of course." Lampard knew that Zhao Yaning's words were polite, but he nodded, "We will definitely get better...but don't change the jersey."

Zhao Yaning was a little surprised, “Klinsmann didn’t give such an order, did he?”

"No, no, it's just... I don't want to change."

Zhao Yaning looked at Lampard and slowly lowered his hand.Perhaps, what Mourinho brought to this team is still left.Not tactics, not personnel, but something beyond that.
