Chapter 845 The UEFA Champions League Team
In the Atletico Madrid lounge, the attention of the Atletico Madrid players was all on the TV, because the draw ceremony for the European group stage was going on, but Lin Dong was not here.
As last season's defending champion, Atletico Madrid was successfully promoted to the first echelon. Last season, Atletico Madrid's luck has been very good. They didn't even meet a strong team in the group stage. This season, although not as good as last season, the group draw is also good.
Atletico Madrid was drawn into Group A. This group is strong and weak. The second echelon is Juventus from Italy. It is certain that the final competition in Group A must be on these two teams.
The remaining two teams are Olympiasco from Greece and Malmo from Sweden. The teams that can appear in the Champions League must be top teams in their respective leagues, but the gap between the top teams and the top teams is also huge.
In fact, the draw for this group stage is not only the strength of Atletico Madrid's Group A, but also the strengths of other groups. Group B is Real Madrid, Basel, Liverpool and Ludogorets.
Although Liverpool is a third-tier team and has returned to the Champions League after a few years, in terms of strength, it is undoubtedly stronger than Basel and Ludogorets.
Groups C and H belong to the kind of teams with relatively balanced strengths. Neither group has top giants, while Group D has Arsenal and Dortmund.
Group E is considered a death group, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, CSKA Moscow and Rome, but this death group is not very interesting.
Group F is led by Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. Paris, who is not short of money, has been trying to poach Barcelona in recent years, but unfortunately the fight has been unsuccessful.
In Group G, Chelsea is the only one. Although there are Schalke 04 and Sporting Lisbon, as long as Chelsea perform normally, they can definitely sit on the top of the group.
It is said that this season's Champions League lacks not only highlights, but also many familiar giants, such as the Serie A Milan duo, Inter Milan's situation after 09-10, AC Milan is not much better now, at least Inter Milan was crazy in the 09-10 season.
In addition to Serie A, there is also the Premier League super giant Manchester United. You must know that the Red Devils have never missed the Champions League since the 96-97 season. This absence is also the first time the Red Devils have missed the Champions League after 18 years.
Before the end of last season, Moyes, who was hailed as Ferguson's successor, was fired by Manchester United. This summer, Manchester United launched a big shop for coaching, and finally the Dutch coach Van Gaal stood out.
What followed was naturally a return to the top. For this reason, the Red Devils' investment this summer was quite huge, close to [-] million euros, topping the Premier League.
It's a pity that Lin Dong didn't pay attention to football before, otherwise he would know that the impact of Ferguson's departure has not yet ended, and the Red Devils will never be able to return to the top in the next few years.
Lin Dong went to the scene this time to receive the best player in Europe. Lin Dong definitely deserves this award, after all, Lin Dong's performance last season is there.
In addition to Lin Dong winning the best player, Courtois became the best goalkeeper, but unfortunately, this guy is now a Chelsea player, and Simeone's best coach is not in dispute.
Lin Dong doesn't appreciate the trophy for the best player in Europe. No matter how you look at it, he finds it a bit strange and ugly. Of course, this does not prevent him from liking him. This is a reward and proof of his performance last season, and it is also his most important trophy so far.
In fact, this award is just the beginning, and there is no controversy about the Golden Boot award. Unfortunately, the Golden Boot has not yet been sent to Lin Dong, and there will be an award ceremony in La Liga later. Not surprisingly, the best player in La Liga will not escape. Therefore, this season will be a season for Lin Dong to harvest personal trophies.
That night, Simeone returned to Madrid with Atletico Madrid players. After all, for Atletico Madrid at this moment, the Madrid derby is the most important thing.
The fans of both sides have already made preparations for the battle, and the media is already gearing up. However, the development of the matter is not as expected by the media.
Zidane is a very smart person. Without absolute certainty, he will never take the lead in provoking a war. It is said that he is facing the predicament now. If possible, Zidane would like to move the Madrid derby back.
As for Ronaldo, who has high hopes, in fact, the achievements of the Portuguese have concealed Ronaldo's true character. Indeed, what Ronaldo has always shown is pride.
But his pride does not allow him to be incompetent. Ronaldo, who was the talker last time, must not be forgotten. Since he and Lin Dong, I have almost attracted the attention of fans all over the world, but in the end?He and his team fell flat.
Fear, in fact, is not an exaggeration to describe it as fear, because Ronaldo is proud of his achievements and status today, but the appearance of Lin Dong has shaken his status in world football.
As for Simeone on the other side, the Atletico Madrid coach has the face of a gangster, and his personality is actually more straightforward. Rather than talking about it, Simeone prefers to prove it with actual combat. Not every coach likes to stand with a big mouth, hoping to change psychological warfare.
Well, Lin Dong, this guy is very boring, and for the European media, Lin Dong has already set his own flag. If it is really according to the media, is he still him?
Therefore, in this Madrid derby, the fans were very unhappy with the Internet, but the players were very low-key. No matter how the media provoked them, the players on both sides could at most express their confidence in the game.
"Goal again, Lin is in good condition" In the match, Lin Dong scored his third goal. This was a solo performance, and he scored after two consecutive goals.
However, compared to the excitement of assistant coach Boggs, coach Simeone frowned, and his eyes kept turning back and forth on Griezmann and Mandzukic.
In this confrontation, not only was Lin Dong in good condition, but Mandzukic and Griezmann also had a strong desire to perform and performed well, both of whom scored goals.
Of course, not only the two of them, but other players also have a strong desire to perform. After all, it is a Madrid derby, and no one wants to appear in such an important game.
But Simeone does not need to worry about other positions, because the main position is very stable and basically does not need any changes, but the strikers are different. Mandzukic and Griezmann are both good in strength, but their playing styles are completely different, and they cooperate very well with Lin Dong.
But this is also the reason why Simeone is troubled, who to choose to start, in such an important game, the meaning of starting is not just a start of a game, it even determines a player's status in the heart of the head coach to a certain extent.
