Chapter 1097 The Possibility of the Super Death Group
The draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2013-2014 season has attracted much attention, because the top 32 teams in the UEFA Champions League this season are divided into three tiers, and there are two teams that are currently very eye-catching in European football.
They are the Champions League runner-up Dortmund in the 2012-2013 season, the Premier League champion Manchester City in the 2011-12 season, and the famous diamond king in European football.
And in the fourth-tier team there is a powerful veteran team like Naples, which means that if UEFA is willing, or if it is unlucky without black-box operations, there will be a super death group.
The mainstream European media had a certain analysis before the draw. They believed that this probability is still very likely, and the super death group that appeared was also cited by these media: Juventus/Paris Saint-Germain/AC Milan/Atletico Madrid+Dortmund/Manchester City+Napoli in the first grade + second grade.
In these exemplified lists, taking into account the draw and avoidance rules of the Football Association, the first team that is most likely to appear in the super death group is the defending champion Valencia, and the second team is Paris Saint-Germain, which has just invested heavily, which is now commonly known as Paris.
As long as Valencia in the first tier and Paris Saint-Germain in the second tier are drawn to the same group, Dortmund or Manchester City in the third tier are very likely to draw this group.
Because everyone knows that UEFA President Platini has been controlling the influence of the gold dollar on football since he took office, and it was implemented in the 2013-2014 season this year. That is to say, after the end of this season, football clubs under UEFA must regulate the financial behavior of each club and control the financial deficit of each club.
It can be seen from this that Platini is very dissatisfied with the clubs with strong funds, and it is very likely that he will use the rules to rationally draw those clubs he does not like into a group, resulting in the so-called super death group.
This kind of draw can not only satisfy his personal dissatisfaction, but also increase the international influence of the UEFA Champions League. Neutral fans also like to see the group of death, and the major media also like to see the group of death.
The emergence of the group of death means that they have a lot of content to write, especially in the era when online media impacts physical media, having good news materials is the best time for them to make profits.
As for why Valencia is the first team that is very likely to draw the Super Death Group, the fundamental reason is that Valencia is too fierce now. It has won the Champions League for three consecutive seasons. As long as they qualify for the group, it basically means that they can enter the final and win the championship...
This has a great conflict with Platini's ruling philosophy, and seven years ago, on the eve of Platini's appointment, Valencia captain Aiello had a big conflict with Platini. In addition, in the European Ballon d'Or, World Footballer, including the now merged FIFA Ballon d'Or, Aiello's honor completely surpassed Platini's, which made him very upset.
Based on various reasons, Valencia is the super death group most likely to appear in this group.

Before the Valencia team went to Prague, Czech Republic, some players and coach Ancelotti went to UEFA headquarters in Nyon to participate in the draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2013-2014 season.
But before that, the mainstream European media had interviewed Captain Aiello. Facing the expectant eyes of the media, Ailuo smiled confidently: "Sorry, as long as there is a group we are in, for the rest of the team, it is the group of death."
If such words are spoken by other people, the media reporters will definitely have some cynicism, but it is different when these words come from the mouth of Captain Ai Luo. His success over the years has swollen the faces of those media who questioned him, so...
The reporters who supported Valencia acted quite naturally. The shutter button in the hands of the Chinese reporters never stopped. This summer, Ai Luo led the national team to win the Confederations Cup. His popularity in the country is unprecedented. In the world, as long as he takes the second place in the world football, no one dares to take the first place.
To use an easy-to-understand word to describe it is -- quietly watching him pretend to be aggressive.
Of course, what Ai Luo wants to express is not arrogance, but a great confidence in his group. Isn't it through everyone's efforts to win one championship after another over the years?
The so-called pretentiousness without strength is called foolishness, while pretentiousness with strength is awesome. This is the reason.

Before the 2013-2014 season UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony, the best awards for the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League will be held regularly.
However, the results of this year and previous years are somewhat the same. Therefore, before the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group draw, the media reported a lot about the Super Death Group.
Among several best selections, last season's Champions League champion Valencia still took the lead. The best goalkeeper was Wang Xiaolei, the best striker was Aiello, the best midfielder was Modric, and only the best defender was won by Dortmund's Chinese player Feng Xiaoting.
Feng Xiaoting's selection as the best defender in the UEFA Champions League last season has become the focus of Chinese media's attention, because this is a new history of Chinese football - in the same season, two Chinese players were elected the best in each position.
Among them, the most important player of the UEFA Champions League last season was once again embraced by Valencia captain Aiello.
His election has also become the focus of Aiello and the Valencia media. This election is also the sixth time in Aiello's career that he has been elected as the best player in the Champions League, continuing to break the best record in the history of the Champions League.
What followed was the group drawing ceremony that everyone paid attention to. The eight first-tier teams were respectively arranged in Group AH, and the defending champion Valencia, which was considered by the media before the game to be the most likely to appear in the super death group, was placed in Group E.
After placing the first eight teams in the group, everyone's attention began to focus on the draw for the second round.
What is different from the past is that there are four strong teams in the second tier, including Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Marseille.
The second-tier Shakhtar Donetsk team was placed in Group C where Manchester United is located, and Juventus, who returned strongly from the trough of Calciopoli in Italy, was drawn to Group B where Real Madrid was located.
AC Milan drew to Group F where Barcelona is located, and CSKA Moscow drew to Bayern Munich which is located in Group H.
In other words, the remaining four teams in the second tier are Paris Saint-Germain, Schalke 04, Atletico Madrid and Marseille...
