Chapter 612 The Group of Death
"Fans have never forgotten a player so quickly. It seems that everyone has forgotten Bale's departure and no one remembers him anymore. The Bernabeu ushered in a new era. This era may last for many years. We may have to rule Europe." Marca looked at the future with sensation and believed that Real Madrid would do a great job. Ruling Europe is not conquering Europe. Twenty dominating Europe, "conquest" is short-lived, and "ruling" is relatively long-lasting. You can imagine how optimistic Marca is.
Of course, the two biggest opponents, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, also won, and the process was not difficult. The three teams were obviously stronger than other teams in Spain.
However, the report of World Sports is still full of concern. The article reads: "Atlancia Madrid and Barcelona are both very strong, but Real Madrid has Liu, which is a restless factor. In direct competition, the two teams are actually at an absolute disadvantage. Barcelona should have taken the lead in winning Liu and becoming Barcelona's president again. Laporta, who did not realize how big Liu's role is. He is the real master of the game."
It's too late to say anything now. Liu Hao and Real Madrid have cooked rice with raw rice, and they are already married...
Real Madrid also won the favor of Spinach, with the league odds ranked first, Barcelona in second, and Atletico Madrid in third.

Major European leagues have already opened, and the Champions League is also coming.
The European war is about to begin again!
The third round of qualifying matches has all ended, and they are basically still those old faces.
The European Champions League group draw ceremony that night attracted the attention of countless fans and media reporters.
As a seed team, Real Madrid is naturally the first-tier team. Liu Hao was worried about the situation where Real Madrid and Arsenal were in the same group before the game, because as the defending champion, Arsenal is also the first-tier team.
If Arsenal is not the defending champion, based on the record over the years, Arsenal will be in the second place at most.
Liu Hao accompanied Ancelotti at the UEFA headquarters and met Vieira, who had become Arsenal coach. The two met with extremely enthusiastic meeting and hugged each other tightly.
Although he had only been in Arsenal for half a year, he had a deep relationship with Vieira, and the help Vieira brought him was unmeasurable.
"Liu, it's a pity for you to leave. Arsenal has no one, so I don't know what will happen in the future!" Vieira did not hide his sadness. After Wenger left, he left the team to him. He is now the coach of Arsenal, but Arsenal lost Liu Hao. If Liu Hao is still in Arsenal, it would be very likely that Vieira will lead the team to continue its glory.
It was the first time that Liu Hao met with him since he left London, but the friendship between them was still full of love.
"Come on, you will definitely lead Arsenal to success." Liu Hao also cheered Vieira, "I will definitely be able to divide into a good group!"
But to be honest, the combat effectiveness of this Arsenal team is really suspicious, it is no longer the Arsenal team before.

As the saying goes, there are no weak teams in the Champions League, but even if there are no weak teams, it is better than meeting a wealthy family. Every year, one or two death groups appear, it depends on who has the luck to be more decisive. If you are lucky, the Champions League is like the road to death...
Arsenal is the defending champion. Naturally, it is Group A, Real Madrid is Group B, and other seed teams are Chelsea, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Porto.
For Ancelotti, it doesn't matter who Real Madrid draws. In his opinion, if you want to win the final championship, you must crush all the bodies, even in the group stage.
But for Vieira, there is a lot to do with everyone Arsenal draws, because Arsenal is no longer the same team as before, and it seems that everyone is the same when they meet. Anyway, Arsenal can always create accidents in the Champions League, and any team dares to lose...
The three of them sat together, waiting quietly for the answer to be revealed.
As a result, Vieira finally laughed. Arsenal's luck is really great! The three opponents in Group A are Olympiacos, Anderlech, and Ajax from the Netherlands, all of which are non-mainstream league teams!
If Arsenal cannot qualify in this group, Vieira will definitely jump into the Thames to commit suicide. Looking at the Arsenal group stage for so many years, there is no luckier than this one. I laughed, he smiled proudly and without any concealment.
But Ancelotti wanted to cry!
He just now smiled faintly, but now when the result comes out, his first feeling is that he is so damn bad!
UEFA wants to hack Real Madrid, otherwise how could such a scam group appear!
Real Madrid was actually divided into a group with CSKA Moscow, Juventus, Manchester City, and Wolfsburg, one Russian super overlord, one Serie A overlord, and one Premier League nouveau riche. These three teams are really fucking hard to play!
Although he beat Juventus in the group stage two years ago, the game was quite difficult, and Manchester City was not very scared. After all, it was not Liverpool, but their players were scary. As for CSKA, no one wanted to play in the snow.
This is a veritable death group. If you are not careful, you may not be the first in the group, or you may not qualify. How could Ancelotti not want to cry!
No matter how confident I had just now, I would not dare to speak out loud at this moment!
Manchester City coach Pellegrini cried directly! But he had no tears anymore. He had been crying for several years. This year, he should just be crying habitually.
Last year, he qualified for the second time in the group and met Barcelona, and the knockout round was the first round.
Unexpectedly, I met Real Madrid directly in the group stage this year. It seems that there is no need to think too much about the first place in the group. Just think about the second place in the group. Perhaps even qualifying in the group will be a problem!
Pellegrini felt that he had no life in the Champions League! He was so hard every year! There was no head coach who was even harder than him. He was always holding a good hand every year, but he always played a bad result. He was scolded by fans every day. Although he earned a lot of salary, he was really hard to live!
As for Wolfsburg's coach Diet Heijin, he seemed very calm and had not returned to the Champions League for many years. This time he returned to the Champions League as the second place in the Bundesliga, mainly with a learning attitude.
Real Madrid's reputation has been very popular in Germany recently. In the past two years, he has won the Bundesliga films and has not been kept. Brothers' club Schalke 04 is the most direct victim. Diet? Heijin is calm perhaps because he has long been in his heart, but he is not afraid!
Barcelona is also very good in grouping. This team seems to be able to get good luck every year. The group stage is always smooth, and there are no strong opponents blocking the way. There is no big problem to get the first place in the group.
Real Madrid's city rival Atletico Madrid also went smoothly.
Another La Liga team, ranked fourth in La Liga last season, Sevilla, who was just beaten by Real Madrid in the league, also drew a good draw. Except for the seed team Chelsea, the strength of other teams is average.
However, Spinach still left the top spot in the Champions League odds to Real Madrid. He also commented specifically: If you have Liu, you will have the championship. This is why we put Real Madrid at the top...
Barcelona ranked second in the championship odds, which is the same as the domestic league odds ranking. Barcelona, which has the MSN terror combination, still cannot shake Real Madrid's position. The third place is Chelsea and Bayern Munich, and the fourth place is Atletico Madrid. The defending champion reorganized the team because of the loss of Liu Hao, but ranked 23rd. It is conceivable that Spinach Company has no hope for Arsenal's defending title.
"If Liu was still there, we would definitely be in the top three! I remember that in March and April of the first half of the year, we were still ranked first. Now, ah..." London fans sighed, and they are still worried about Liu Hao's departure and always talk about Liu Hao from time to time.
Perhaps in the future, Liu Hao will still be the most popular player there.
So much so that when Vieira left on the day of the draw, she said affectionately to Liu Hao: "When you are old, remember to play for Arsenal!"
I wonder if he had ever thought about when he said this. In fact, Liu Hao was already very old. When would he be old?
Three years and five years? Or eight years and ten years? When he was forty years and forty years, this was a question that Liu Hao could not answer. He didn't even know when he kicked himself...
Of course, if he could go back and put on Arsenal's shirt, he would definitely be willing, but, at that time, could he still play?
※※※※
Another thing that excited Chinese fans is that Real Madrid and Wolfburg are in the same group.
There is a Chinese player Zhang Xizhe in the Wolfburg team. Zhang Xizhe got the chance to play in the Wolfburg team with his own efforts at the beginning of the year. Although he is not the main player of the team, he can at least see two Chinese playing as opponents in the Champions League.
This is the first time in Chinese football history!
Of course, basically no one would think that Wolfburg would win. The gap between Zhang Xizhe's team and Liu Hao's team is a bit big. Fans just hope to see two people playing together instead of paying attention to the outcome!
In the 2015-16 season, fans have reason to look forward to more!
At the end of September, Wolfsburg will face Real Madrid at home, and this game is not far away.
"European and China Derby!" QQ.com shamelessly used such a gorgeous name to describe this game. It looks like it is true. If you don't brag, you will die.
Chapter completed!
