Chapter 168 Champions League
Cai Jian came to Spain because the Champions League is about to usher in.
Cai Jian has been paying close attention to the Champions League this season.
Even watched the lottery ceremony, but the result disappointed Cai Jian very much.
Because Sevilla got a bad lottery, Sevilla was assigned to Group D.
The same group are Manchester City, Juventus and Borussia Mönchengladbach. It is too difficult for Sevilla to qualify in this group.
It can even be regarded as a death group, which disappointed Cai Jian very much.
Cai Jian then looked at other groups, but the result was that Group D was still the deadliest.
And there are several groups, and their overall strength is relatively average.
For example, the H group is Ghent of Bica, Valencia of La Liga, Lyon of Ligue 1 and Zenit of St. Petersburg.
If Sevilla is in this group, she can definitely qualify in the group.
Cai Jian is still quite worried about Lu Yunlong's debut in the Champions League.
Because Sevilla is in poor form in the new season, he has played three rounds in the league.
He has never won a single game, and he is currently drawing and losing in three games.
Especially in the match against Atletico Madrid, Sevilla lost 0-3 at home.
Cai Jian is worried that Sevilla's poor condition will affect the Champions League.
It was soon September 15th, and Sevilla played against Mönchengladbach at home.
Both sides are also old opponents, in the UEFA Cup round of 32 last season.
The two teams met, and in the end Sevilla had the last laugh.
Before the game, Jian Cai deliberately checked the rosters of both sides and saw several familiar figures in the Mönchengladbach lineup.
Among them, the one Lu Yunlong is the full-back Schultz, because they were teammates at Hertha Berlin before. This time, he transferred to Borussia Mönchengladbach.
There is also central defender Christensen, who now plays for Chelsea, and this time he joined Borussia Mönchengladbach on loan this time.
Although he is only 19 years old now, he is still very stable in the team.
Of course, there is also midfielder Dahud of Asian descent, a young midfielder who is also a player that the team focuses on training.
At this time, Cai Jian was surprised to find that there were three players on Borussia Mönchengladbach's roster who would join Dortmund in the future and even became teammates.
They are Hazard Jr., Dahud and Schultz, and they all join Dortmund in the future.
"Hello everyone, everyone! Welcome to today's game. Today we bring you the first leg of the Champions League group stage. The two sides are Sevilla and Borussia Mönchengladbach. I am today's commentator Shao Shengyi." Shao Shengyi commented at the opening.
"Sevilla, who won the UEFA Cup last season, has made sufficient preparations for the Champions League in the new season."
"But the team is in a normal state at the moment, and the league has not won a victory yet."
"What worries fans the most is undoubtedly the group group."
"This group is too strong, and Sevilla has little hope of qualifying."
"Looking forward to Sevilla today, you can get a good result."
"I will introduce the starting lineup of both sides. First of all, Mönchengladbach, and the official gave a 4-4-2 formation:
Goalkeeper: 1 Somore;
Defenders: 17 Oscar Winter, 4 Brauves, 24 Janchik, 27 Julian Cobb;
Midfielder: 16 Traore, 6 Nordwitt, 13 Steindel, 28 Andre Hahn;
Forwards: 10 Hazard, 11 Raphael.”
"Then Sevilla, the official gave a 4-2-3-1 formation:
Goalkeeper: 1 Sergio Rico;
Defenders: 2 Tremulinas, 5 Kolozesak, 17 Andre Oli, 23 Cork;
Midfielders: 20 Bitolo, 15 Enzonzi, 19 Banegas, 4 Crichoviak, 10 Lu Yunlong;
Forward: 9 Gamero.”
Today, Ruiz, a subsidiary of Cai Jian, was successfully selected into the roster.
Currently sitting on the bench, after all, I just joined the team and I have no reputation.
After joining Sevilla, he got a chance to play.
He has played two games in the league so far, of course he is on the bench.
There is another game that took 84 minutes to go up.
He does not play much time at the moment, but Ruiz is already satisfied.
He never dreamed that he could join Sevilla before.
I didn't expect that I not only joined Sevilla, but also played on behalf of the team.
Even today he still has a chance to play in the Champions League, which makes him full of hope for his future.
This is definitely a very good experience for him as a young man.
Unfortunately, Sevilla's midfield strength is OK, and he may not have any chance to start in a short period of time.
The game started soon and Sevilla received the kick-off.
Not long after the game started, Sevilla launched a threatening attack.
Left back Tremulinas made a long pass and passed the ball to the frontcourt.
Football accurately found forward Gamero, who stopped the ball and dribbled forward.
At this time, Banerga ran from behind him to the front of his left.
Although Gamero didn't see it, he heard the shouts of his teammates.
So he looked left and saw Banegga running.
So he passed a straight pass to Banega.
Banegas saw him, Gamero passed the ball, and accelerated to run forward.
At the top of the arc outside the penalty area, I successfully got the football.
The opponent's central defender Brauves quickly defended, and Banéga faced the opponent's defender.
First, he pressed his shoulders and then suddenly changed to the right, although he did not shake off Brauves.
But after opening a gap, Banega decisively shot with his right foot.
This low shot was too sudden, goalkeeper Somore saved the game.
But he didn't meet football, and Banegga thought he was going to score.
But the football actually hit the post, and luckily the football bounced towards Bitolo.
You should know that the goalkeeper fell to the ground to save the fire before, although he tried very hard to stand up.
But it was difficult for him to continue saving, so Bitolo faced almost empty goals.
At this time, everyone thought that the ball was going to be scored.
But Bitolo surprised everyone, and he kicked his left foot directly at the football that was bounced over.
He didn't expect that he was not prepared at all.
In this way, the football was kicked directly into the stands, and Bitolo wasted an excellent opportunity.
When the fans at the scene saw that the ball was not in, they sighed regretfully.
And Bitolo held his head, and he couldn't believe that his shot was actually knocked away.
You know, he was facing a big empty door, which made Bitolo very depressed.
Gamero stepped forward and patted his back to comfort him, Bitolo turned around and ran back.
Restore your mentality as soon as possible and cannot continue this mentality.
Chapter completed!
