Chapter 243 Top [-]!
Deportivo's thrilling qualifying made the world once again feel the never-say-die spirit of Crazy Deportivo.As the "Daily Mail" said: "At any time, underestimating Deportivo is the worst choice."

With Deportivo's qualifying, Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United has become the most tragic giants. Last season's Champions League runner-up, this season was defeated in the group stage. This may be something that many people did not think about before the game.

Sixteen teams.

the same dream.

With the end of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the [-]-[-] season, after more than three months of competition, all [-] teams have come to the fore.

UEFA quickly produced a promotional video for the Champions League round of [-].

First of all, at the beginning of the promotional video for the top sixteen, the defending champion Barcelona appeared on the stage.Although countless enemies of Barcelona are unwilling to admit it, this is indeed the era of Barcelona's dynasty.

Leo Messi has scored eight goals in this season's Champions League group stage. The club king and his teammates are still unstoppable. Who can end Barcelona's absolute domination in Europe?

The second appearance in the promotional video is the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. Although the Bundesliga giants are temporarily unable to regain the top position in the league, the combination of Robben and Garribery has already demonstrated its power in the European arena. They double-killed the British local tycoons at home and away. Manchester City has made many Bayern Munich fans full of expectations for the Bundesliga giant.

The third player in the promotional video is Naples, which is in the same group as Bayern Munich. No one thought that the Premier League team, which has always performed well in the Champions League, would lose the Manchester City duo in the group stage.

The exit of Manchester City and Manchester United made people feel the breath of death in the Champions League this season since the group stage.Can Naples with Cavani hold up the banner of Serie A in the post-big international era?
The fourth team to play is Inter Milan. Although Inter Milan has lost control of the Apennines in the league, the Apennine giants that won the triple crown last season should not be underestimated.

The fifth player to appear in the promotional video is CSKA Moscow. With the exit of the Manchester City duo, the teams that benefited the most are those teams from outside the five major leagues. With the cold weather in Moscow, Central Moscow The army grabbed a place in the top sixteen.

The sixth team to debut is the Galactic Fleet Real Madrid. The superstars are shining and the stars are shining. Florentino wants to get back the tenth Champions League trophy for Real Madrid. Can the madman Jose Mourinho lead Real Madrid? Going further on the Champions League stage this season?
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored nine goals in the group stage, second only to Song Rentou's ten goals.The three major shooters from La Liga have completely monopolized the top three in the UEFA Champions League this season!

The seventh team to play is Lyon, a traditional giant in Ligue [-]. Although the transfer of French king Benzema has damaged the strength of this team, Lyon, which has always had good results in the Champions League, played very steadily in the group stage .

The eighth team is Chelsea. In the case of Manchester City's duo being eliminated, Chelsea, who stumbled in the group stage, seemed to herald the decline of the Premier League. Chelsea's performance in the league was not satisfactory. In the team's winning odds, Chelsea only ranked tenth.

Can the Blues perform miracles this season?Villas-Boas' side seem to need more improvement.

The ninth team to play is Bayer Leverkusen from the Bundesliga. By beating Valencia in the last round, the pharmaceutical factory has successfully qualified. At the same time, the pharmaceutical factory has also contributed valuable points to the Bundesliga. form.

The tenth team to appear in the UEFA Champions League promotional video is Arsenal. Who dares to do it right away?Only me, General Fan!
Van Persie's fiery goals became Wenger's only reliance. Recalling the past, the Premier League powers ravaged Europe, the blues and reds complement each other, and the gunners and reds are unstoppable. Now, the blues are old, the guns are in danger, and the Manchester City duo Both were out, and the whole of England fell into a state of lament.

The No.11 team that appeared is Marseille, which is in the same group as Arsenal. Whether this competitive team can disrupt the situation will be the only expectation for them.

This may be the most unpopular Champions League season.

The No.11 to No.14 teams are the little-known APOEL, Zenit from St. Petersburg, Basel in Switzerland and Benfica in Portugal.Platini did what he said, and more small European teams have the opportunity to continue to perform in the Champions League.

Of course, the end of the promo is the real climax.

AC Milan experienced life and death ups and downs in the group stage. In the first two rounds of the group stage, AC Milan once ranked at the bottom of the group. However, relying on double-killing Manchester United, Lecco Dortmund and a draw with Deportivo, the Serie A team showed again. Gained tenacious vitality!

Even though the Bundesliga has been completely overtaken by the Bundesliga in the European War standings, it means that from next season, Serie A will have three places. However, except for Udinese, which was eliminated in the qualifiers, all Italian teams Breaking through the group stage made people feel the determination of the Little World Cup to continue to defend its glory.

The last one to appear in the promotional video is Deportivo. Crazy Deportivo is like a storm sweeping across Europe. No one dares to underestimate them. Similarly, they will become the last team that other teams are unwilling to draw in the round of [-]. in the team!

Song Rentou scored ten goals in the first four rounds of the Champions League group stage. People can't help but imagine whether Song Rentou, who will come back in the first half of next year, can break the historical scoring record of the Champions League?

And to what extent will the competition among the three major shooters from La Liga evolve?
The Champions League round of [-] draw will be released before Christmas. The eight group winners will fight against the eight group runners. Among the eight second runners-up, Deportivo is undoubtedly the strongest force.

After the end of the expedition to the San Siro, the imposing Deportivo ushered in the penultimate game of [-]. After winning, they continued to maintain the pressure on the leaders Real Madrid.

The entire Deportivo team now looks imposing. They have come out of the shadows brought to them by Manchester United and Real Madrid. The whole team is fighting for Song Rentou.

December NO.18, before the last league game of the winter break, the Zurich Opera House in Switzerland, where the draw for the UEFA Champions League round of [-] knockout rounds for the [-]-[-] season also began.

The top eight teams are: Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Benfica, APOEL and Arsenal.

The second of the eight groups is: Deportivo, Naples, CSKA Moscow, Basel, Zenit St. Petersburg, Marseille, Lyon, Leverkusen.

Because it was during the break, Song Rentou also went to the scene of the draw ceremony with head coach Jose Ortella.

Compared with the draw of the top 32, the draw of the top [-] is undoubtedly more nervous.

In the pre-match mock draw, Deportivo drew Chelsea three times in a row, which also made people feel that Platini deliberately suppressed the Premier League.

Obviously, the current Chelsea does not have the strength to beat Deportivo. Boas's team has too many problems. From on-field to off-field, from the locker room to the field, Boas' team is completely at a disadvantage. Unfinished state.

However, the simulated lottery is a simulated lottery after all.

The first team to be drawn out was APOEL and Lyon. This made people feel the good luck of the French, and it also made people question whether Platini was taking care of his fellow countrymen.

As the weakest team in the first tier, APOEL relied entirely on group points too well, so after Manchester United and Manchester City were both eliminated, what Ferguson and Mancini felt the most about was the grouping of the top 32. unfair.

The matchup drawn from the second group makes people feel that there is not much to watch. Barcelona drew Leverkusen. Judging from Barcelona's historical record against Bundesliga teams, it seems that there is no difficulty in qualifying for the Dream Three Dynasty.It is difficult for Leverkusen to cause too much trouble for Barcelona.

The third group matchup is Zenit vs. Benfica. Although the strength of the two teams is not top-notch, the draw for this group is definitely even, and the two teams are [-]-[-].

The fourth set of duels finally aroused people's interest, and Chelsea drew Naples.

Chelsea's head coach Villas-Boas kept smiling wryly. Naples is an absolutely tough team. They were led by Cavani and they performed very well in the group stage against Manchester City, and the English team has always played against the Italian team. Bad record.

Platini's heart is already well known to passers-by.

Could it be that this year there will be no Premier League team in the quarter-finals?

Just when people were lamenting Platini's conspiracy, the fifth set of duels finally made people unable to calm down.

Arsenal was drawn out first, and then the opponent who made Wenger, who was talking and laughing happily with the people around him, blacken his entire face in an instant...

"La Coruña!"

Arsenal, draw Deportivo!

Throughout the Zurich Opera House, everyone looked at Wenger with a look of wishing you good luck.

There is no doubt that Arsenal has won the Royal Spree!

This is the most difficult team to deal with in the second tier team!
"Arsenal, it's not easy to play." Song Rentou and Jose Ortera looked at each other. Obviously, UEFA is going to completely suppress the Premier League.

Chelsea and Arsenal were the two most difficult teams to deal with in the second tier respectively!

Wenger smiled wryly for a while. Could it be that God wanted him to take a closer look at Song Rentou?
There are no surprises in the next three matchups, with Real Madrid playing CSKA Moscow, AC Milan playing Basel, and Inter Milan playing Marseille.

After the whole lottery ceremony, everyone had their own concerns.

Except for Chelsea and Arsenal coaches Villas-Boas and Arsene Wenger, who looked sad, most people were satisfied with tonight's draw.

Arsenal...

Song Rentou is very interested in this team, because Song Rentou has not won in the current match against the Premier League team.

The outside world generally believes that the Premier League is likely to miss the quarter-finals this time, and the meaning of UEFA's draw is already obvious...

In fact, for Platini, it is unrealistic not to suppress the Premier League.

Because as the most profitable league among the five major leagues, the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League have strong purchasing power. If the Premier League is not suppressed, then there will be a situation where three of the top four Premier League teams accounted for in the past few seasons .

Balance is the long-term way of a league. The reason why Platini, who knows this well, has been able to be re-elected is inseparable from his balance. As for the Englishman's complaint?
Let them sue!
As long as everyone's interests are taken care of, it is impossible for the English not to play in the Champions League, right?
This is why Boas and Wenger can only smile wryly but cannot protest. You can complain, but you cannot resist.

From this point of view, UEFA in the Platini era is not only united, but also extremely strong.
