Football: Guards with knives, shovel Ronaldo at the beginning

After the end of the national team's game, the players got a rare short rest.

In addition to Welbeck being diagnosed to need to rest for 5 weeks, Gerrard was also told to rest for two weeks because of muscle fatigue.

Therefore, both will miss the double red meeting at Anfield on September 9.

To this end, Gerrard called Dalglish specifically, saying that there is nothing wrong with his body.

And Dalglish is flying to Monaco with Ian Ayre at this time, and it's the draw ceremony for the annual Champions League group stage.

Dalglish did not directly reject Gerrard, but said he would seriously consider it.

The draw ceremony was held at the Grimaldi Conference Center. As for how to catch the ball, Dalglish said it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't draw the group of death, he is still very confident.

Liverpool was treated as a seeded team because it was the champion of the last Europa League.

This is also a point where other teams feel lucky.

You know, in the 10-11 season, Lindy's Atletico Madrid was regarded as the second-tier team to participate in the draw.

A team that can wrestle with Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga is regarded as a second-tier team, and everyone feels scalp numb.

Today, Lindy's Liverpool has finally become a seeded team.

But there are still many teams hiding in the second and third tiers of this Champions League.

For example, Manchester City, Shakhtar, Valencia, Schalke 04 are in the second gear;

Juventus, Paris, Ajax and Lille are in the third gear.

Dortmund were in fourth gear and almost went unnoticed.

The Premier League has four teams in Pot [-] and Pot [-]: Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal.

La Liga has three teams in the first and second pots: Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Valencia, and there is one team in the third pot: Atletico Madrid.

The Bundesliga has two teams in Pot 04 and Pot [-]: Bayern and Schalke [-], and Dortmund in Pot [-];

There are two teams in the first and second pots of the Portuguese Super League: Porto, Benfica and Braga;

Serie A looks obviously lonely. In addition to AC Milan in the first tier, there is also Juventus, but it is in the third tier.

And Inter Milan directly appeared in the fourth gear, because Inter Milan was able to enter through the Champions League play-offs.

Of course, after 2018, the top four in Serie A can directly play in the Champions League group stage.

Finally, in Ligue [-], only Paris Saint-Germain and Lille are in the third tier, and only the top two in Ligue [-] are eligible to participate in the Champions League group stage.

The lottery draw for groups a to h is extremely interesting. Today's lucky draw guest is George Weah. I don't know if it was intentional.

When Real Madrid was drawn into Group D as a seeded team, Guardiola felt that someone was staring at him from behind, sending chills down his spine.

He turned his head twice and found nothing unusual.

However, when Manchester City was drawn as a second-tier team, the gaze behind them became even more fruitful.

"Manchester City, Group D!"

What the hell!

Now, everyone's eyes were on the young coach whose hair suddenly lost half after arriving in the Premier League.

Dalgliesh even smiled playfully: "It's kind of interesting, it's kind of interesting."

Few people set their sights on Vilanova, the young coach who coached Barcelona after Guardiola, but attracted the attention of Dalglish.

Dalglish always felt that there was some haze hanging over his head.

His feeling was not wrong. After only half a year of coaching Barcelona, ​​Vilanova's parotid gland tumor recurred, and he left football a year later for in-depth treatment.

On April 2014, 4, the little-known Barcelona coach left his beloved football world.

Some people say that maybe God also needs someone to help him coach the team?

In any case, the grouping of this Champions League has gone from mediocre to extremely interesting.

However, everyone was shocked when Dortmund and Ajax were drawn into Group D.

What concept?

The 4 teams in Group D:

royal house Madrid

Dortmund

Ajax

Manchester City

No matter which team is easy to match, look at Barcelona, ​​Celtic, Spartak Moscow, the strongest should be Benfica.

Guardiola finally knows where these gazes come from. Such groupings appear every year.

Mourinho vs Guardiola?

Premier League nouveau riche vs La Liga giants?

After defending the Bundesliga champions, the Bundesliga youth storm led by Klopp is not a belly in this death group!

And what about Ajax?

Eredivisie champions!

To be honest, Guardiola has never enjoyed this kind of treatment in the past 4 years.

Mourinho's face is also very ugly. Real Madrid was known as the 16th man in the Champions League during the years he came!

But today's grouping is probably quite difficult even for 16 Lang.

Yes, although Mourinho is conceited, he never underestimates any opponent.

What's more, none of these opponents can make him underestimate.

However, a smile soon appeared on Mourinho's face: "You also have today!"

In just a few tens of seconds, Mourinho has already figured out how to deal with several games.

For him, as long as four 4 to 1, all problems can be solved.

Watching Mourinho's game, as long as you lead 1-0, you can turn off the TV and go to sleep.

Because, it's a sure thing!

But Dalglish wasn't happy at all, what's with the Group of Death?

"Damn, why did we draw Juventus? And the miners! Going back and forth, physical energy, state, are greatly consumed!"

Obviously, the tone of Dalglish's complaint was not that he was worried that he would not win the opponent, but that the road was too far away.

"Also, the collection of information on North Sealand may be troublesome. Can anyone tell me where this team came from?"

Ian Ayre, the CEO of the team next to him, thought for a while: "It seems to be from Denmark? If I remember the flag correctly."

The Premier League champions were grouped with the Serie A champions, but everyone took it for granted.

Many teams even hope that Liverpool will be overthrown by Juventus directly in the group stage, and then directly drawn to Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Bayern as the second place in the group, fighting to the death and giving others some opportunities.

Lin Di was also watching the lottery ceremony in front of the TV, seeing the result, he could only respond with: "Hehe!"

...

April 9

The Premier League rekindled the flames of war, and Liverpool challenged Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

Liverpool, who were almost pure rookies, easily defeated their opponents 2-0 and took all three points.

Henderson and Griezmann each scored a goal, and Lindy scored an assist.

Liverpool ushered in 4 consecutive victories after the start of the new Premier League season, leading the standings with a goal difference of 13.

April 9

Anfield ushered in the guests of the Apennine Peninsula, and the old lady has returned to the sequence of the Serie A giants since last season.

And soon regained their Serie A title.

It makes AC Milan and Inter Milan particularly uncomfortable.

After Calciopoli in 06, the Milan duo dominated Serie A back and forth.

Of course, Inter Milan took 5 and Milan took 1.

Now, this former Serie A giant has come to Anfield with his kingly power.

The king of the Apennine Peninsula will challenge the king of the British Isles.

If we say that the game between Liverpool and Manchester United three days later can be called the "Hundred Years Double Red Meeting"!

Well, in this Champions League group stage, the two teams that won the league championship again last season will soon stage a new chapter in the team for fans all over the world:

Dream back to the top!

Battle England!
