Chapter 25: Champions League Attack
As of September, the UEFA Champions League groupings have finally been determined.
A total of 7 groups, 28 teams from major European leagues.
Group A: Saint Breton (French 1), Tottenham United (Premier League), Club Brugge (League 1), Galatak (Turkish Super League).
Group B: Bayer Leverkusen (Bundesliga), Atalanta (Serie A), Olympicos (Greek Super League), Red Star Belgrade (Sierra Super League).
Group C: King of Madrid (La Liga), Liverpool (Premier League), Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine Super League), Dinamo Zagreb (Great League).
Group D: Torino (Serie A), Hoffenheim (Bundesliga), Moscow Rockets (Russian Super League), Genk (Big A).
Group E: Barcelona (La Liga), 1900 Munich (Bundesliga), Meazza Milan (Serie A), Slavia Prague (Czech Republic).
Group F: Stanford (Premier League), Marseille (French 1), Benfica (Portuguese Super League), Zenit (Russian Super League).
Group G: Trafford (Premier League), Borussia Dortmund (Bundesliga), Lyon (French Ligue 1), Ajax (Eredivisie).
Group H: Sporting Porto (Portuguese Super League), Atlético de Madrid (La Liga), Eindhoven (Eredivisie), Athens EK (Greek Super League).
This season's Champions League grouping is extremely balanced, and there is no obvious death group.
If it is forced to count, Group G can be regarded as one.
After all, whether Trafford, Lyon or Dortmund are regulars in the Champions League, the competition between them should be extremely fierce.
The pressure of Group D where Hoffenheim is located is relatively less.
This group only needs to be wary of Turin and the Moscow Rockets.
Turin's performance in the past few seasons has not been too impressive. They even overturned in the group stage and almost failed to reach the knockout stage.
Combined with the performance of the league this season, many people expressed concern about Turin's performance in the Champions League.
Even the Italian media are saying that this season's Champions League does not belong to Serie A, from which we can see that Serie A teams do not have any advantage in the Champions League.
Hoffenheim was assigned to Group D, which is very good news.
If you perform well, you can even reach the knockout rounds.
Of course, Bundesliga fans farther away don't want to.
After all, it is the first time for Hoffenheim to participate in the Champions League. Don't place too much hope on them, it will become pressure instead.
In contrast to the other three Bundesliga teams, Leverkusen is in the same state as Munich 1900, and the aftermath of the exodus of players is still there, which will make it extremely difficult for them to compete in the Champions League.
Group G where Dortmund is in is even more of a death group on the bright side.
Trafford should occupy one place, and the other three teams will compete for another place.
Among them, whether Dortmund and Lyon can complete the draw when facing Trafford is an extremely critical issue.
The Champions League group stage will start on September 14.
After two days from the 14th to the 15th, the first round of the group stage was completed.
Hoffenheim's first Champions League group match will be on the 15th. They will go to Moscow, the Russian capital, to face the Moscow Rockets.
This will be a crucial battle for Hoffenheim.
…
"Goal! From the exquisite cooperation between Leo and Ravens, the tacit understanding between the two talented players has begun to grow. They have handed over two goals and two assists in this game."
The on-site commentary Polly set up with interest.
"Bremen can't solve our offense at all. They can't defend at all. With 10 minutes left in the game, we have already led 3:1. This is Hoffenheim's fourth victory this season!"
Ten minutes passed quickly.
The score has also been fixed at the value of 3:1.
Hoffenheim was not attacking in the final period.
They replaced the three main players and started to play defense.
For this change, many people express their understanding.
After all, Hoffenheim will go to Russia in four days, and they are about to start their own Champions League journey.
Hoffenheim won the fourth game, which also means that they have won four games in a row, which is a good start.
The young players headed by Leo have shown shocking energy and created a youthful storm throughout the Bundesliga.
The violence of the storm shocked everyone.
Even The Sportsman published a report called 'The Wind Blows South'.
At the post-match press conference, Steven Shi came out abruptly, facing the swarming reporters, he said calmly;
"The opening four wins in a row is good news for us, but it's not enough to make us happy. Hoffenheim are looking for a stronger game, but this game is what everyone saw."
Steven's words made the Bremen coach next to him so angry that he couldn't help glaring at him.
But Steven didn't know about it, and continued; "The next game is the key. We will go to Moscow, the capital of Russia on the 14th, so my interview today ends here."
After speaking on his own, Steven turned his head and left without any remembrance.
…
In the locker room, the Hoffenheim players were also talking about the upcoming Champions League with great interest.
This highest competition in Europe is the stage that all players look forward to.
Even a player like Ravens who has played in the Champions League has joined the heated discussion.
"I feel that we have a high probability of qualifying!"
"As long as you win the Moscow Rockets, it's not a big problem."
"This is a team that is good at aerial combat. We need to keep an eye on their two wings and completely freeze the possibility of kicking crosses, at least not allowing them to cross easily."
"The midfielder is also the key! The ball must be won, and I also believe in our midfielder. These brats are much stronger than they look."
Everyone gathered together, holding group discussions on their mobile phones.
Substitutes such as Gray and Ibstruy sat on the sidelines.
Gray watched everyone's excited discussion, and couldn't help showing envious expressions, and said, "Champions League! They really did it."
"The Europa League champion was promoted to the Champions League, why is it only in the second tier? We should be given the first tier!" Ibstroui was a little dissatisfied.
The first team also means that the teams they encounter are relatively weak.
But the second tier team said that there must be a first tier team in the group.
Although Torino are the worst of these first tier teams.
But after all, Hoffenheim is playing the Champions League for the first time. It is really difficult to play against an experienced team like Torino when they are not familiar with the rhythm.
Of course, it's not entirely impossible.
Hoffenheim is a team full of surprises.
Hoffenheim are also very good at causing problems for Torino if they don't work hard and encounter some problems.
It's like a young guy meets an experienced old guy.
As the saying goes, boxing is afraid of the young.
It is very possible that Hoffenheim's set of eight punches will really beat Turin to the ground!
