Chapter 174 Group of Death, Fantasy Champions League

"It's Stone again, he saved the Spaniards." Ever since "Daily Sports" became the queen media touting Wu Sanshi, they have always been generous with their front pages.

"He's a good, consistent and consistent player."

"Valverde's team almost capsized in the finnish gutter, but stone stood up and said no, he played a perfect quick counterattack with callejon and Casilla. I have to praise Casilla here too, just right It was he who saved the opponent's striker's penalty, and then instigated the attack to achieve this goal. And Callejon also showed his selfless side. Valverde is happy, these three people are the future of the Spaniard, this The Spaniard of the season is worth looking forward to."

"Daily Sports Daily" scored Wu Sanshi 9 points after the game. The comment was: He is still the most threatening player for the Spaniard. Give him the ball and he will take care of the rest.

Casilla: 8.5 points, two goals conceded was not his responsibility. At the most critical moment, he saved the penalty kick of the Honka striker, and then instigated the attack, allowing Wu Sanshi to complete the goal.

Callejon: 8 points, the best game he played since joining the team. Although he still wasted two chances to score goals, he played smarter and more selflessly. The assist for Stone is his growth proof.

De La Pena: 6.5 points, it is indeed a bit old, and it is a bit difficult to play in fierce battles, but it is still trustworthy.Valverde hastened to find his successor.

……

Tamudo: 6 points, almost missed a few headers.

The next day, the UEFA Cup group draw ceremony for the 08-09 season was held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

In this group draw, 40 teams were divided into 8 groups with 5 teams in each group.Each team in each group will have two home games and two away games, with one round of byes.In the group stage, the top three in each group, a total of 24 teams enter the next round of knockout rounds, and they will form the top 8 with No.3 of the 32 groups that were eliminated in the UEFA Champions League group stage.The final will be held in Istanbul on May 2009, 5.

The tragic UEFA Cup is even more tragic than the Champions League.

Wu Sanshi's old club Ajax has also advanced to the group stage, and there is a certain probability that he will be drawn into a group.

In this UEFA Cup, AC Milan is the most favored, followed by Valencia, Sevilla and Stuttgart. These teams are all favored by bookmakers.

As for the Spaniard, he ranked 10th in the winning odds offered by the bookmaker.

On the same day, UEFA Secretary-General presided over the draw ceremony.

The eight seeded teams are Schalke 04, Benfica, AC Milan, Sevilla, Tottenham, Hamburg, CSKA Moscow and Valencia.

The Spaniard was drawn into Group A, a very tragic group, the group of death.

In the same group are Schalke 04, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Twente.In this group, no team is easy to provoke...

Group A: Schalke 04 (Germany), Paris Saint-Germain (France), Manchester City (England), Espanyol (Spain), Twente (Netherlands).

Group B: Benfica (Portugal), Olympiacos (Greece), Galatasaray (Turkey), Hertha Berlin (Germany), Ergiev Metallurgy (Ukraine).

Group H: CSKA Moscow (Russia), Deportivo Deportivo (Spain), Feyenoord (Netherlands), Nancy (France), Poznan (Poland).

After the lottery results, the "Daily Sports Daily" analyzed:
"This is a death group. Schalke 04 and Manchester City are slightly stronger than other opponents in this group. They have a high probability of qualifying. Paris Saint-Germain and the Spaniard also have the strength to compete for qualification. Twente Relatively speaking, it is the weakest team in this group. Paris Saint-Germain has a wealth of European experience, which increases their chances of qualifying to a certain extent."

"The Spaniard's luck is not very good. Among the eight groups, as long as they don't enter Group A and Group C, their journey will be much easier. Of course, they are not the worst group. Ronaldo is more deadly. Sevilla faced the strongest opponent."

Espanyol fans are also talking hotly:
"Draw the lottery! This group is too difficult to play. But isn't the Spaniard's goal this season to hit the UEFA Cup? No matter how strong the opponent is, he will step over."

"In my opinion, all four opponents are the same, we have to take it one step at a time. Schalke 04 and Manchester City are favorites, but we have also reached the UEFA Cup final. We are not afraid of any opponents, the group of death. It’s okay to say it, but we’re definitely not going to die here.”

"As long as Stone is there, everything is possible. We have even won Real Madrid and Barcelona. Will we be afraid of these opponents?"

Many fans are blindly confident and have a fanatical obsession with Wu Sanshi.

They quickly forget that the team was almost eliminated by the Finnish Hunka pair before...

Not only that, but they have even greater aspirations.

"Playing in the UEFA Cup this season, can we play in the Champions League next season? I really hope that the team will play in the Champions League once. We haven't played in the Champions League for many years!"

The Spaniard's spiritual life has gone a step further, and he is no longer satisfied with playing in the UEFA Cup.

The current La Liga is still dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona. The two of them must occupy the top two places in the league. It is not easy to go to the Champions League. There are more teams fighting for the scalp.

Atletico Madrid, Valencia, Sevilla, and Villarreal are all competitors.

Going to the Champions League this year are Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Villarreal.In fact, only one of the four places can be earned, and No.4 has to play in the Champions League playoffs...

"What if, what if we can really go?"

"We have won two consecutive victories, and we will play against Getafe at home on the weekend, and three points will not be a problem, right?"
