ball magic

Serie A is still one of the leagues that started late among the five major leagues this season. Inter Milan's first round of the league will not come until September 9, but the draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage comes earlier than the league.

In the 97/98 season, the scale of the Champions League was expanded from the original 16 teams to 24 teams, divided into 6 groups.

The seed teams of the 6 groups are the champions of the five major leagues last season, as well as the defending champions.These 6 teams do not need to participate in any qualifying rounds, and they are eligible to participate in the main game.In addition, the teams that do not need to participate in the play-offs are the league champions Ajax of the Eredivisie and Porto, the champions of the Portuguese Super League.

In addition to these 8 teams, the remaining 48 teams will have to pass the play-offs to qualify for the main match, competing for the remaining 16 places.

Teams such as Juventus, Manchester United, Eindhoven, Bayern, Benfica, Athletic Bilbao, etc., all have to start from the second qualifying round!

It intersects with the Champions League after the continued expansion of the army in later generations. The current Champions League fight should not be too tragic!Don't roll over so easily!

Winning the championship is not easy!

The draw for the group stage ended soon, and Inter Milan was assigned to Group C. Compared with the real group of death, Group D, this result seems very lucky.

Let's take a look at group d first. If this group does not "death", there is no group that can be called "death group"——

The giants Barcelona from La Liga, the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, the Premier League Red Devils Manchester United, and the Danish champions Brondby who don't know how black they are, they have to be grouped with these three teams.

Why do you say this group is the group of death?

Because among the 24 teams, there are only 6 teams that can advance to the knockout round, and among the 6 No. 2 teams, the two with the best results.

In other words, of the four teams of Barcelona, ​​Bayern, Manchester United, and Brondby, two were directly eliminated, and the remaining one is to be determined, and there is still a two-thirds chance of being eliminated, and they can directly advance without watching. There is only one team whose life and death are decided by people's faces!

So cruel, it is still the UEFA Champions League that has been restructured.

Before the Champions League decided to expand in 92, the Champions League was even crueler than it is now-because the Champions League at that time was a pure Champions League, and only the champions of each league could participate!

The rest of the teams are not eligible to participate at all!

without!capital!grid!

Inter Milan's Group C is actually not easy. Their opponents are defending champion Real Madrid, Moscow Bastak from Russia, and Stram Graz from Austria.

But compared to Group D, it seems that there is no right to sell miserably.

If you use one sentence to describe the result of this grouping-shopping for Real Madrid is enough!

After the lottery results came out, Raphael stared at the TV in a daze.Juan looked at him and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Juan doesn't think it's because Rafa is worried about problems. You must know that Rafa's debut is against Real Madrid. He has played Real Madrid twice and Barcelona four times. He has performed very well every time. What should be worried should be Real Madrid right?

"If our group number one appears, will our group number one meet the number two in group d?"

"Yes."

After Juan answered, he became even more suspicious, isn't this normal?

Raphael nodded and turned off the TV calmly.

Who is the Champions League champion this season?But anyone who knows something about football will never forget that it is the first Manchester United team in England to achieve the treble!

Entered the Champions League as a runner-up, broke out from the play-offs, and finally eliminated multiple league champions to reach the final, and finally achieved the ultimate reversal in the Champions League final, and finally eliminated Bayern's Manchester United!

Raphael has watched most of Manchester United's games this season. He must say that everyone thinks how lucky Manchester United was to win against Bayern, but many people don't know the real reason why Manchester United played so hard in the final— —

Among Manchester United's four golden midfielders, Keane and Scholes were suspended.

If Scholes' suspension had less of an impact, then the loss of Keane as captain was the real reason United struggled in the final.

But Manchester United still overcame these difficulties and survived the desperate situation. Not only did they perform a great miracle in the history of the Champions League, but they also wrote "no reversal, no Red Devils" into the DNA of the team.

There is no doubt that this kind of Manchester United is the best team this year, and Raphael is eager to play against such a "Red Devil" and the four major midfielders of the Red Devils who are entering the peak of their careers. It should be very interesting .

Juan looked at the back of Raphael going upstairs, still confused.

Why did he feel that Rafa was a little...happy?Will Rafa be happy when they come out on top of the group?

But soon he dispelled the doubt himself.Of course they should be happy when the first place appears, otherwise they will have to worry about being eliminated in the group stage!

On the next morning, Juan confirmed that Rafael was in a really good mood, because Rafael took the initiative to say to him: "Today we will drive to the base."

drive!

Ever since Raphael studied hard and finally saved enough flight time to get his pilot's license, they almost never drove to the base!

Maybe it was because his expression was too shocked, Raphael raised his eyebrows, "No, I changed my mind, let's go to the base as usual."

Rafael changed his mind, why should it flow into outsiders' fields just because the fertilizer?

When they came back from training, Raphael posted a post, which instantly received countless likes!

Less than a minute later, Juan received a text message from "work". Juan glanced at it and immediately knew that Rafa had updated!

When Juan ran to his study, turned on the computer, and opened the homepage, he saw the latest developments of Raphael——

[rafael10: [race schedule.jpg]]

It was a screenshot of a computer, probably from UEFA's official website, and there was a detailed match list on it. Among the many match tables, one was marked red and sent out separately—September 9th at 17:20 Inter Milan vs. real Madrid!

Juan laughed almost immediately, and then he liked it without hesitation, and retweeted it!

That's right, registered users can now forward comments!Players interact with each other a lot more.

After squatting for a while, Juan found that the team captain Sanchez Jr. and Carlos the Brazilian bald man all retweeted and expressed some opinions.

Before Juan finished flipping through, he heard the notification sound of the text message on his mobile phone, and knew that Rafa must have posted another update. When he opened the homepage again, he found that Rafael did not post a new update, but retweeted Lei Dong So much dynamic!

Retweet!Juan was so jealous that he was about to fly!

This is Rafa's first retweet other than Veronica's album promotion!

After he took a closer look, he found that Redondo was an outlier among the Real Madrid bloody factions. He forwarded Rafa's Twitter and replied: [Welcome to be a guest, come to my house for a meal? ]

Make a date!

Now that the competition is over, you still have dinner appointments!

And what about Rafa?

Not only did he reply, but he also said that he would take someone to Cengfan!with whom?

Juan almost jumped up after a few seconds - could it be me?

Since the beginning of the new season, the media have not photographed Rafa much.During the holidays in the United States, some American colleagues provided some photos and important clues, which almost blinded their eyes.Now that the new season is about to start, the media have to accept the reality depressingly—unless they wait until the game day, they may not be able to photograph Raphael.

It turned out that Rafael did not expect to make troubles on the Internet by himself, and directly posted a schedule. No matter how you look at it, it means looking forward to it and declaring war. There is no hatred in Madrid, no matter what hatred, they can hype up the battle of Tianwangshan.

However, there are topics that still can't change the fact that they have not been able to photograph Rafael's face in almost two months. In the anticipation of the media and fans, Inter Milan finally ushered in the first round of the game.

On September 9th, Inter Milan ushered in the first home match day of the season. Their opponent was Cesena from Serie B.But this is not the league, but the 10th final of the Coppa Italia. Of course, due to the limited strength of the opponent, all fans think that this game will be very easy.

But because Raphael poked his heart and lung tube last season, everyone from the old Robson to Bergomi showed extraordinary importance to this cup, and did not underestimate Cesena.

New aids such as Figo and Vieri are unknown, and it does not affect their active preparations.Who doesn't want to make a good impression on the fans on home game day?

Although only Figo was on the starting list among the new aid.

On the match day, Figo felt something that he didn't feel normally.

Before going out to warm up, Raphael was wearing non-slip socks slowly. Figo saw Ronaldo and West fighting, but his eyes always glanced at Raphael.

And the assistant coach of the same nationality as him was even worse. He kept staring at Rafael, as if no one else was important.

Seeing Figo staring at Rafael, the big-eyed mascot "pupi" who has developed a deep relationship with Figo recently-mainly because of one side and tacit cooperation, which drives the emotion off the field, said in a super low voice: "Rafa likes to be the first out of the dressing room, Juan said."

Oh superstition.

Figo understood in seconds.

He further guessed that apart from superstition, it is also possible that Raphael likes to show his core position. After all, how can he show himself if he is not in the c position?

Figo only found out later, and Juan also broke the news in detail-according to what he learned from Aimar, and Aimar learned from his Boca teammates of the national junior team that Rafael had been domineering since he was a child.

Therefore, dragging is not a day or two, it is from childhood to adulthood.

Raphael finished his preparations and glanced at Mourinho, who immediately said, "Get ready to warm up."

Raphael nodded, then got up and walked towards the door.

After he had all walked to the door, the others stood up one after another, very naturally, without bluntness, so it was definitely not a day or two to get used to a certain little ball bully like this.

It's even worse when you come out!

The moving channel was not soundproof at all, and before he got out, Figo's ears were almost burst by the screams of the female fans.

He looked ahead, and Raphael, who was walking in the front and had already walked out of the passage, raised his hands a few steps ahead of the passage, and applauded the fans around him, and the fans responded to him with sharp tips that wanted to penetrate their eardrums. Yelling, deafening cheers!

When Figo got out of the player tunnel, he saw fans setting off fireworks outside the stadium...

This seems to be just the beginning of the season, right?

Are you guys on holiday?
