Chapter 184 The Wonderful Champions League

The UEFA Champions League group stage of the 2013/2014 season has officially ended, and sixteen teams have been able to advance to the knockout stage.

Among the sixteen teams, the Premier League's four Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City all advanced, and the Bundesliga's four Bayern, Dortmund, Schalke 04 and Bayer Leverkusen also all advanced. This is the first time that the Bundesliga has four goals. team into the playoffs.

The three La Liga clubs, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid all advanced to the top of the group, and the Real Sociedad group was out of the bottom.

The remaining five teams are AC Milan in Serie A, Paris in Ligue [-], Galatasaray in Turkish Super League, Zenit in Russian Super League and Olympiacos in Greek Super League.

In the last round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the biggest upset was definitely the elimination of Serie A class bully Juventus.

In the last round, Juventus needs to challenge Galatasaray away, and the Bianconeri only need a draw to guarantee their qualification.But Juventus encountered a real "devil's away game" in the away game. A blizzard fell after 30 minutes of the game, so the game had to be interrupted and played again the next day.

In fact, it was still snowing heavily the next day, but it was better than the day before.In the heavy snow in Turkey, Juventus was killed by Sneijder in the 85th minute and lost the game 0:1, and Serie A Banba was eliminated.

The Serie A class bully actually died in the group stage, just like the Italian media said, this is a disgrace to Italian football.

However, this season's Champions League group stage is definitely the most ups and downs of the Champions League group stage in 20 years, setting many records.

First of all, Atletico Madrid is in Group G. Due to the loss to Atletico Madrid in the last round of Porto, even if Zenit lost 1:4 away in Austria, they still advanced to the knockout round. They only scored 6 points in the six rounds of the group stage, and they advanced. , This is the lowest point record in the history of the Champions League to advance to the knockout round.

In the Group B where Juventus was killed, Galatasaray, who advanced, also set a record. After six rounds of the group stage, their goal difference was minus 6. The record for the fewest wins.

In the first round of the group stage, they were beaten by Real Madrid 6:1 at home. Later, they went to the Bernabeu and were beaten again 4:1. After such a miserable loss, they still defeated Juventus and advanced to the knockout round. This is also very inspirational.

Zenit and Galatasaray are two lucky ones, some are lucky, others are unlucky.

In stark contrast to Zenit's 6-point promotion is the death group F. This group was considered a group of the top four before the start of the Champions League. But it became a big three battle.

Marseille in Ligue 12 was reduced to a point-giving boy. After losing six games in a row, they were out of the bottom of the game with a duck egg. The other three teams, Arsenal, Dortmund and Naples, all three teams won a game after beating Marseille. , In the end, all three teams scored [-] points. In the comparison of victory and defeat, Naples ranked third with a slight disadvantage and was eliminated.

Naples became third in the group with the highest points in the history of the Champions League.

Naples scored 12 points and was eliminated, while Zenit advanced to the knockout round with only 6 points. Compared with each other, the Italians may feel the slow malice of the world.

In fact, in Group E where Chelsea is in, the Blues only scored 12 points to occupy the first place in the group, while Naples scored 12 points but was third in the group, which is a bit embarrassing.

Also unlucky was Manchester City. They were in a group with the Cosmic team Bayern and finally scored 15 points, but they still ranked second due to the relationship between victory and defeat. This is also the group with the highest points in the history of the Champions League.

Therefore, this season's Champions League group stage is quite wonderful.Some people can't qualify with 12 points, some can advance with 6 points, some can only get second place in a group with 15 points, and some can qualify with a goal difference of 6.

In the last round of the group stage, Barcelona's Neymar finally scored his first goal in the Champions League. This time, there were three. He became the eighth player to complete a hat-trick in the Champions League this season.

There were 8 hat-tricks in the group stage, which is also a new hat-trick record in the UEFA Champions League group stage, and 8 hat-tricks also tied the record for the most hat-tricks in a single UEFA Champions League. After entering the knockout stage, others will have the opportunity to refresh this record.

At the same time, in the last round of Real Madrid's 2-0 away game against Copenhagen, Ronaldo recovered from injury and scored a goal, while Ibrahimovic did not score at the same time, so Ronaldo became the new Champions League group stage goal in a single season record holder.

He scored 9 goals in the UEFA Champions League group stage in a single season. In fact, Ronaldo still has a chance to refresh the number of goals to 10. He missed a penalty at the last moment.

On the scorer list after the UEFA Champions League group stage, Ronaldo ranked first with 9 goals, Ibrahimovic ranked second with 8 goals, Ringer third with 7 goals, followed by Messi and 6 goals. Aguero is gone.

At the same time, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid both accumulated 16 points, which is also the joint highest points in the UEFA Champions League group stage this season.

※※※

The UEFA Champions League group stage is over, and the draw for the top sixteen will not start until the weekend, and Atletico Madrid still has a league game to play before.

When Linge came to the gate of the training base, he saw many Chinese reporters waiting for him.

Ringer was wondering, although when he joined Atletico Madrid, many Chinese reporters rushed to Spain to report the news, but as Ringer's performance stabilized, only a few major newspapers and major online media in China still stayed one or two times. A reporter is here, why did so many suddenly appear this time?

"Linger, Guangzhou Evergrande is about to face Bayern Munich in the semi-final of the Club World Cup. Who do you think will win?"

"Linger, do you think Evergrande can make a difference in the Club World Cup?"

~~~
After listening to two questions, Ringer finally understood.

Another year of the Club World Cup is coming. This year's Club World Cup will be held in Morocco, Africa.

Morocco, not Monaco.

Monaco is a small country on the edge of France, a small country with a highly developed economy, and the UEFA Champions League group stage draw is often held there.

Morocco is a North African country, which is quite close to Europe, especially Spain, separated by a shallow Strait of Gibraltar, so it is very convenient to travel.

Morocco is located in North Africa, and it is also an Arab country with close ties with Europe. There are many Monaco players in La Liga. This season, two Monaco players have scored hat-tricks in La Liga.

Evergrande successfully won this year's AFC Champions League and thus came to Morocco to participate in the Club World Cup.Evergrande also successfully passed the first round of the Club World Cup and entered the semi-finals. Their opponent in the semi-finals is Ringer's old club Bayern.

Evergrande is the first Chinese football club to participate in the Club World Cup. Many Chinese journalists also went to Morocco to follow up and report. Now they will meet Ringer’s old club Bayern, so many reporters crossed the Strait of Gibraltar to Spain. Interview Ringer.

"Bayern is very strong, and I think it will be difficult for Evergrande to compete with Bayern." Linge said his true thoughts.

"But Bayern, like you last year, defeated the African team Cairo Ahli in the first round, and Bayern's strength is stronger than last year's Tokyo FC, right?" Some Chinese reporters gave different opinions.

It turns out that because Ringer led Tokyo FC to become the first Asian club to win the Club World Cup last year, and now that Evergrande has come to participate in the Club World Cup, there is also a saying in China.

Last year, Tokyo FC defeated Cairo Al-Ahli in the first round of the Club World Cup, and won the championship all the way through. This year, Evergrande also encountered the African champion Cairo Al-Ahli in the first round. Does this indicate something?
And they also believe that the strength of Evergrande this year is definitely to strengthen Tokyo FC last year. Tokyo FC can win the championship by surprise. Why can't Evergrande beat Bayern by surprise and win the championship in the end?

After knowing the strange ideas of this group of people, Ringer can only say that they think too much.

This year's Evergrande is stronger than last year's Tokyo FC, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But this year's Bayern and last year's Chelsea are simply not comparable.Last year's Chelsea won the Champions League, when everyone was satisfied and their state declined, but now Bayern, the Cosmos team is very well-known, and their momentum is high and they are in good condition.

And Bayern has another advantage. They play in Morocco, which is similar to Europe. Instead of running around halfway around the world like Chelsea did last year, Bayern will be much better at maintaining their state.

To be upset, in addition to having a certain strength, it also depends on luck.
