The new season is coming.
At 0:00 am on August 27, Beijing time, UEFA held the 2021-22 Champions League group stage draw ceremony in Turkey!
The 32 teams will be divided into 8 groups, and the four teams in the group will play home and away round-robin matches!
The division of this season is based on the European points of each team last season, as shown below.
First Tier: Chelsea, Villarreal, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Lille, Sporting CP.
Second Tier: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool, Sevilla, Dortmund.
Tier 3: Porto, Ajax, Shakhtar Donetsk, RB Leipzig, RB Alsace, Benfica, Atalanta, Zenit St. Petersburg.
Tier 4: Besiktas, Dynamo Kyiv, Brugge, Young Boys Bern, AC Milan, Malmo, Wolfsburg, Sherif.
In Lin Jie's previous life, Atletico Madrid, Liverpool, Porto, and AC Milan formed the death group of the Champions League.
The group that Dortmund was assigned to was in Group C, which included Sporting CP, Dortmund, Ajax, and Besiktas.
But unfortunately, Dortmund did not break through the group stage in this situation.
Instead, they lost to Sporting CP in the same win-loss relationship as Sporting CP and were eliminated because of the number of goals.
After falling into the Europa League, Dortmund finally lost to Rangers with a total score of 4:6 and was eliminated again.
It can be said that Dortmund still performed poorly in the Champions League, even though they still had Haaland at this time.
And not being able to go far in the Champions League is also the reason why Haaland left Dortmund.
Soon as the draw process progressed, Lin Jie discovered that it seemed that his existence had changed the course of history. Although most of the groups were still the same as before, Group C on Dortmund's side had undergone tremendous changes!
First of all, the original death group directly became Group C!
The teams in Group C became: Manchester City, Dortmund, Ajax, AC Milan!
The order of the other groups did not change much, that is, Sporting CP and Manchester City swapped positions, and AC Milan swapped positions with Besiktas in the previous life.
It can be said that Group C directly became the absolute death group!
Except for Manchester City, which is far ahead in strength, the strength of the other three teams is extremely close!
It can be said that when the final group of Dortmund was released, the players of Dortmund were a little desperate, after all, this group was really too terrifying!
And Lin Jie had a deeper understanding of the strength of this group!
You should know that in the previous life, the Ajax team led by Ten Hag won all 6 games in the group stage and qualified as the first in the group!
The other one is the super luxury battleship Manchester City led by Guardiola!
The other one is AC Milan, which has quietly embarked on the road of revival!
Although AC Milan's overall strength is at a disadvantage in this group, it should not be underestimated.
When the final groups came out, Dortmund fans also lamented the death group.
Originally thought that Lin Jie's first trip to the Champions League might help Dortmund move forward, but he didn't expect that this time he would directly hit the death group!
Among them, Manchester City can be said to have occupied a qualifying spot with a 100% chance of success!
The remaining spot will be competed for by three teams, Dortmund, AC Milan and Ajax.
Although Dortmund entered the group of death, it is not necessarily a bad thing for the fans.
At least they can watch a round of exciting group stage battles.
It is not like the previous life, when Dortmund was obviously strong, but was eliminated from the Champions League inexplicably.
However, Dortmund's players do not need to think about the Champions League for the time being.
The first Champions League game will be on September 15th, Xia Guo time. Dortmund will visit San Siro Stadium to face AC Milan!
What they need to consider now is the challenge of facing Hoffenheim at home tomorrow, August 28th, Xia Guo time.
At the beginning of this game, Dortmund continued the problems that began with the German Super Cup.
In the first half, Dortmund players except
Lin Jie was not in good shape, and his attack was weak.
But in the second half, Dortmund's players were like a replacement. Haaland opened the scoring in the 50th minute, helping the team to lead 1:0.
Then Reus expanded the score in the 60th minute, and Bellingham killed the game in the 68th minute.
The final score was 3:1, and Dortmund still easily defeated Hoffenheim at home.
Next, Dortmund will face the first strong enemy of this season!
That is Leverkusen.
Although the current Leverkusen has not reached the super performance of the Leverkusen team led by Alonso before Lin Jie came through.
But this season, in fact, the prototype of Leverkusen's dark horse has already been formed, and several people who are the cornerstones of the team are already in the team.
According to the original trend, Leverkusen's Bundesliga points this season are only 5 points behind Dortmund, ranking third in the Bundesliga.
At present, Leverkusen's performance in the Bundesliga is also quite outstanding. Like Dortmund and Bayern, it is one of the teams that has not lost a game so far in the new season of the Bundesliga!
Moreover, with the advantage of goal difference, Leverkusen has even surpassed Bayern and Dortmund to stand directly at the top of the Bundesliga!
It can be said that this game is a focus of the Bundesliga!
The two teams, whoever can win the game today may be able to take the initiative of the Bundesliga championship this season!
Time quickly came to September 11, 21, because today's game was held in the afternoon local time.
Through the conversion of time difference, this game officially started at 9:30 pm on Saturday night in Xiaguo time!
It can be said that it is the most suitable time for fans to watch the game!
Coupled with the popularity of the strong dialogue, it can be said that this game also attracted a considerable number of fans to watch the game.
As usual, Goose Factory Sports started the live broadcast in advance.
As the commentary guests, it is the familiar trio again.
After the opening, Zhan Jun also introduced the current situation of the two sides in the Bundesliga, as well as some of the past records of the two sides.
However, due to the growth of the players and personnel changes during the offseason, these data are actually not of much reference value.
