Chapter 420: bad luck

The Wolfsburg players have never forgotten, whether their own team signings or training, their ultimate goal, there is always only one. After half a season of hard work, the goal of Wolfsburg is now very clear. They want to get good results in the Champions League. Apart from that, nothing matters to them.

To see if a player's arrival is useful to them and how much strength they can play in the Champions League is the focus of Wolfsburg's consideration. Although De Bruyne is very good, he has already played for Chelsea in the Champions League: although he played only a few minutes in one game in six group matches, he did not even count as a warm-up, but the rules It is stipulated that he can no longer play for Wolfsburg in this year's Champions League, which is also a considerable regret.

This season, his role for Wolfsburg is naturally to stabilize the league results. For the Champions League, he can't help much.

Looking at the outstanding strength of his newly introduced players, Wolfsburg is certainly very happy, but thinking about his inability to play in the Champions League, it also makes people feel tragic. If they introduced De Bruyne instead of Marin in the summer, maybe they would have better results in the Champions League, but now, De Bruyne can only save them some effort in the league. The Champions League will still be the same. Difficult.

The reason why Wolfsburg players find the Champions League difficult is largely because their Champions League knockouts are not easy to play.

-≤-≤,$p; At the end of the first half of the season, the results of the UEFA Champions League knockout draw have already come out. According to the first and second grades of each team, they also decided on the name of the match. And this time, although Wolfsburg was the first in the group to qualify, their opponents were not easy to deal with.

A large part of the reason for this is because the teams that qualify this time are very strong: among the teams that qualify first in the group this time. Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Bayern, Chelsea, these names are naturally a lot, and Dortmund. Atletico Madrid can be regarded as quite a well-known team. After the group stage, the only underdogs who really appeared in the first gear, apart from Wolfsburg, were only Porto. Because of the great luck, the group basically avoided all the strong teams, so they were lucky to get the first gear. s position.

And this year's second-tier team is also full of talents. Manchester United was squeezed into second gear by Wolfsburg. It goes without saying that Arsenal. Manchester City’s two Premier League teams have also been squeezed to this level by their respective group match opponents, and if the Paris team is added, there are at least four teams in the second-block team, all of which are extremely tough. Strong team, and among the other teams, Milan and Juventus, the two Serie A giants, although they have been underestimated because Serie A is not good enough in the past two years, they are still not to be underestimated. Among the second-tier teams are really underdogs, and only Olympiacos and Galatasaray are two teams that are not considered mainstream leagues.

Check out this list. People can actually find it easily. This year's Champions League fight was more intense than in previous years, which also led to the fall of many familiar faces since the group stage. Serie A’s Naples can be said to be typical of these teams, while La Liga’s Real Sociedad and Bundesliga’s Bayer Leverkusen also failed to qualify, plus Marseille in Ligue 1. The Portuguese Super League’s Benfica, miners, Zenit and other former Champions League regulars have encountered strong enemies early, and they have come to a curtain call. From the beginning of the Champions League small game, the various strong teams have been encountering constantly. It also made this year's Champions League match, the smell of gunpowder seemed to be stronger than usual.

And in this piece of gunpowder smell, Wolf Castle naturally can't expect himself to be particularly relaxed. Although in the Champions League group stage, Wolfsburg struggled and squeezed into the first team. After squeezing in, they also admitted that they had made a very wise choice. But looking at the second team, there are still many opponents, which makes them still have to smile. Although there are still fewer terrible opponents compared to a team, there are still many strong players in these teams, and there are still guys who can't beat Wolfsburg.

Therefore, before the draw, Wolfsburg was also worried about his bad luck. They have always hoped that they will not be unlucky and have to draw opponents like Paris. And in the bottom of their hearts, they also think that they should not be so unlucky: all along, the Bundesliga has not had too much luck in the UEFA Champions League draw, and it has always been a recognized fact that they can always draw some weaker teams. This time, Wolfsburg also hopes to continue the Bundesliga's good luck, at least not to draw a bad opponent.

However, this time, Wolfsburg is obviously not so lucky: in other words, the Bundesliga seems to have a lot of good luck, but it seems that they have been consumed by the other two teams.

If anyone is the luckiest, then the Bundesliga should definitely be Bayern. After successfully becoming No. 1 in the group again this time, Bayern got a somewhat unexpected and funny opponent in the Champions League round of 16 in the draw. The opponent that Bayern will face is AC Milan.

The reason why this opponent said an accident is because no matter what, Bayern and Milan are both the world's top giants. In European football, Real Madrid is certainly the most influential team, and the second place can be contended for a lot. Milan, Juventus, Bayern, these can be regarded as strong contenders. Among these teams, Milan's number of Champions League is second only to Real Madrid, and their performance in the Champions League is better. However, with the decline of Milan in the past two years and the rise of Bayern, Bayern also vowed to surpass Milan and complete its counterattack.

The early meeting of the two giants is of course surprising. This level of confrontation started in the top sixteen, and it was quite eye-catching.

However, this encounter is quite funny, because the two teams attract the attention of others in addition to their Champions League honors, as well as their history of fighting. After the new century, Bayern had a long period of downturn. During that period, they did not perform well in the European arena, especially when they met against Milan. They were all repaired quite miserably. The results of their encounters have been so bad that for a long period of time, Bayern was cast a psychological shadow. When I was asked if I would be afraid of meeting Inter Milan, the phrase ‘they are not AC Milan’ made people clearly see the shadows in their hearts.

However, time has passed, and a few years later, the situation of the two sides has been completely reversed. Milan has been reluctant to invest, and now they have gone from a powerhouse that everyone feared to become a poor ghost who harvests tatters everywhere. Italy's economic situation has been bad in recent years, and it can be said that it has been best reflected in Milan. Looking at them now, it is simply embarrassing.

And now Bayern is not Bayern back then. Without the financial burden caused by stadium repairs, Bayern has a lot of funds. The overall rebound in the Bundesliga in recent years has also made Bayern's strength greatly increased. Across Europe, Bayern is now firmly seated in the top three thrones, and they dominate the group, and they also have no opponents to fear.

One and the other, the situation on both sides reversed, and now encountering Milan is undoubtedly an opportunity to obliterate the shame of Bayern. The team that bullied them back then has a psychological shadow, but now it is just a team that they can bully. The sentence of Hedong for 30 years and Hexi for 30 years has also been fully interpreted at this time.

In fact, as soon as they saw the result of the draw, Bayern's players were already gearing up, saying that they were going to do a good job. Although their words revealed extremely strong confidence, thinking about their experiences in the past few years, and then looking at what they are now, it makes people smile.

These guys are not rushing to victory, victory is only subsidiary, they are rushing to vent their breath.

However, no matter what the purpose is, Bayern's Champions League draw is at least not too dangerous. Unless there is a particularly big accident, it should be no doubt that Bayern will enter the quarterfinals. Even the media are convinced of this: even considering their large area of ​​psychological shadow, they are also the defending champions of the Champions League. As the defending champions, they shouldn't just fall back here.

They should at least make it to the semi-finals, just as people want Dortmund to be the semi-finals.

In this year's Bundesliga draw, Bayern is indeed lucky, but Dortmund's luck is not bad either. In this year's draw, the opponents they won were not very strong either: Perhaps, it is a compliment to say that they are not very strong, because their opponent just lost to Wolfsburg twice~www.wuxiaspot. com~ Now it's in a scorch.

In the UEFA Champions League, Dortmund's opponent was Manchester United, the most famous but recently extremely bad luck Premier League giant.

When the result of this draw came out at that time, the Wolfsburg players were full of curses. They spent a lot of effort to squeeze Manchester United to the second place in the group, unexpectedly, in the end, it was cheaper than Dortmund. What is the state of Manchester United now? The Wolfsburg players know no better. Although Dortmund has numerous injuries and looks half-dead, but with Manchester United, the Wolfsburg players believe that they can definitely make Manchester United look good.

No matter how much Moyes tried, it would be very difficult to defeat Dortmund. It seems that they will be here this year.

Looking at the luck of his two little friends in the same league, Wolfsburg can only sigh. All along, they have asked themselves that they have never done anything bad, but this time, their luck is much worse than others.

Everyone can get the underdogs, so why do they get Manchester City? (To be continued...)
