Chapter 130 Group of Death(1/2)

In the end, Werder Bremen, as the fourth-level team and the first-level defending champion Porto, the second-level Barcelona, ​​and the third-level Celtics were assigned to the same group - Group F.

As soon as the lottery ceremony ended, Rongguang received a call from Ronaldinho.

"Great, we have a chance to play on the court," Ronaldinho said happily on the phone.

Rongguang was also very happy. He said with full fighting spirit: "This time, I must defeat you."

"Haha, come and fight." Ronaldinho burst into laughter. "Don't cry if you lose."

Rong Guang curled his lips: "I'm not Kaka..."

Hearing him say this, Ronaldinho laughed louder.

"If he hears your words, he will definitely protest."

"Protest just by protesting? Am I still afraid of him?" Faced with Kaka, Rongguang always seems very tough.

So in Milan, Italy, someone sneezes two times in a row...

"Dear, do you have a cold?" Caroline, who came to accompany him during holidays, turned her head and looked at Kaka who was sitting on the sofa watching the live broadcast of lottery draws, and asked with concern.

Kaka quickly shook her head: "No, no."

He was also wondering... OK, why did he suddenly sneeze twice in a row?

※※※

There are more than a few people watching the live broadcast of lottery in front of the TV.

Iniesta and Xavi watched the live broadcast together.

When the lottery drawer drew the last team in Group F, Werder Bremen, Iniesta clenched his fists hard: "Beautiful"

He said.

Xavi next to him said: "But you need to try to play the main player in the team first, otherwise it would be a pity if you can't play when we fight Werder Bremen?"

Iniesta nodded vigorously: "Yes, I will seize the opportunity."

Then he couldn't help saying, "I must exchange jerseys with him at that time, even if I can't play."

"If you can't even enter the 18-man roster, I'll help you." Xavi joked that Iniesta.

Iniesta waved his hand: "You can definitely get in after going to the 18-man roster."

Harvey laughed.

Rongguang didn't know that in the distant Spain, there were still people looking forward to meeting him.

Just as he put down his phone with Ronaldinho, the phone on Deborah rang again.

Debola picked it up and listened for a while, and handed the phone to Rongguang: "Don't call, she wants to hear your opinion on this group."

Rongguang Result Cellphone: "Hey, Ms. Molly?"

"Ah, it's glory. I just want to hear what you think of this group situation... You seem to be assigned to a group of death. I wonder if you have the confidence to qualify from this group..."

Rongguang asked: "What does the Death Group mean?"

"It's just a group where strong teams gather..." Molly and Rongguang had been in contact for a long time, and they also knew that this star actually did not know much about football, so she did not make a fuss about Rongguang asking such a question, but explained patiently.

After listening to Molly's explanation, Glory said with a sound.

But then he asked another question: "Are they strong?"

Molly felt that this was not her interview with Rongguang, but Rongguang was interviewing him.

"Porto has always been a traditional giant in Portugal, and they were the Champions League champions last season, and their strength cannot be underestimated. Barcelona is a traditional European giant and is well-known all over the world. The Celtics are also the overlord of winning the league championship for a long time in the Scottish League." Molly explained again.

"I think it would be too unpaid if I finally participated in the Champions League once. "I thought it would be too unpaid if I played in a group stage." Rongguang said, already showing his attitude.

Molly got it.

Rongguang is going to enter the knockout stage

It's not easy to fight out of the Death Group...

But if there is glory...it may be possible.

※※※

In the European football scene the next day, everyone was discussing the results of group draws.

Everyone thinks that Werder Bremen was assigned to a death group.

Werder Bremen's head coach Schaff said in an interview with reporters after the draw: "Death Group? That's what your reporter said, I haven't said that. Werder Bremen did a one-day tour in the Champions League."

German media analyzed the prospects of qualifying for three German teams entering the group stage.

Bayern Munich is the most favored. They scored in the same group with Juventus, Ajax and Tel Aviv Macca. It can be said that basically no team in this group can threaten Bayern Munich's qualifying prospects. At most, it is the difference between the first or second in the group. Their fight with Juventus will determine who is the first in the group and who is the second in the group.

Leverkusen is the second best team in the group qualifying situation. They are separated by Real Madrid, Roma and Dynamo Kiev. The most threatening one is Real Madrid. It is hard to say which one is stronger than Roma and Leverkusen, and Dynamo Kiev is a boy who gives away points.

Werder Bremen is the most dangerous qualifying situation among the three teams.

The so-called "death group" does not mean that Werder Bremen must have no chance of qualifying, but that the strength of several teams is very close, and no one has the chance, and the situation is very chaotic.

Porto is the defending champion, but this summer, they have left many of the main players who won the Champions League last season, and also left the most important head coach Mourinho.

So Porto's strength has definitely declined.

However, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how much it declines, as the defending champion, he has strength. It is not even difficult to even qualify in the group, right?

Barcelona played very well in the second half of last season, and Rijcard finally made the team shape. If you want to say who is the safest in this group, it must be Barcelona. But football is round, and in this group, Barcelona dare not say that they are sure to qualify in the group.

Let’s not talk about the Celtics, they are the Soviet Super League giants who have participated in the Champions League for a long time. They have very strong combat power at their home court.

Werder Bremen is in the same group with these three teams, and it is really not easy to qualify.

"Werder Bremen's luck is really bad. He finally participated in the Champions League once, but he encountered the death group... Judging from the odds of the group qualifying of the bookmakers, the most favorable group qualifying is Barcelona. What they want to strive for should be the first in the group. The odds of the defending champion Porto are better than those of the Werder Bremen, and the odds of the appearance of Werder Bremen are comparable to those of Celtic..."

Almost all the Chinese media's reports are focused on Rongguang.

This is the first time in Glory's career to participate in the Champions League.

It is also the first Chinese player to participate in the Champions League

This is a very worthy thing to write about.

So as soon as the Champions League draw results came out, Chinese media reported it extensively.

Of course, although they are confident in Glory, they still feel unoptimistic about the grouping situation of Werder Bremen.

Nothing else, European media say this is the group of death, so it must be the group of death

"…How great would it be if Barcelona were in the first half of last season? I would definitely not think they were the favorites to advance."

Barcelona played badly in the first half of last season.

If it were Barcelona during this period of time, Werder Bremen would not be afraid of them.

But now...

During the winter break last season, they loaned veteran "Wild Boar" Davis from Juventus. The team's waist was straightened up, the defensive problems were solved, and the results improved. In the end, they won consecutive victories, directly defeated Real Madrid and scored second in the league, while Real Madrid, which was originally the first in the league, suffered a five-game losing streak in the league, falling from the first in the league to the third in the league.

It took Rijcard a season to finally make Barcelona what he wanted to see.

Chinese media began to analyze what should we do if Werder Bremen wants to qualify from the Death Group.

In the game against Barcelona, ​​it is best to get a draw at home.

Then there was a contest with the Celtics and Porto.

If they can win the game against Porto and Celtics, they will be beneficial to their appearance.

However, the Celtics' home court is difficult to play.

Although Porto has left many people, they are the defending champions after all. And they also have Portuguese genius players like Quaresma.

After analyzing it, it is difficult for Rongguang to play more Champions League games.

The biggest feature of the Death Group is uncertainty. No one can guarantee that they can definitely win and qualify in the group.

Chinese media have no such courage.

European media have said that this is the Death Group. They are not optimistic about Werder Bremen. Do Chinese media still dare to have different opinions?

In a bleak atmosphere, Molly revealed that as soon as the lottery result came out, she called Rongguang immediately to hear his opinions on the group.

"Rongguang said that he participated in the Champions League for the first time and did not want to go home after just playing the group stage. His answer was almost the same as Schaff's statement. The generals and coaches worked together, and I think we can give Werder Bremen more expectations this season..."

Molly has a close relationship with Rongguang and Rongguang's agent Debola, which everyone already knows - Molly always emphasizes this intentionally or unintentionally when writing articles - so it is nothing surprising that she can get Rongguang's comments, and no one questioned the authenticity of her words.

But everyone still doesn't think that if Glory says it, he has confidence, and Werder Bremen will definitely be able to fight out of the Death Group.

It's very simple. Football matches are eleven people, and it's not up to one person. No matter how confident Rongguang has, his teammates don't have confidence, and they can't do anything about it.

Moreover, football matches are not something that can be won by the powerful ones.

In this way, everyone just talks before the game, and whoever says the most sensational skills will win.

In short, Chinese fans and media were originally looking forward to Chinese players' first Champions League trip, but because of the results of this group draw, many people felt that they were thrown into cold water.
