Super Training Master

The day after the Manchester City and Lyon match ended, the 6th round of the UEFA Champions League group stage ended and the ranking of each group was also determined.

According to the rules of the UEFA Champions League, the top two teams automatically advance to the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League and formally enter the knockout stage, while the third place falls to participate in the UEFA Cup 32.

The first team to qualify in the group are: AC Milan, Inter Milan of Serie A, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United of the Premier League, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Sevilla of La Liga.

The second qualifying group was Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga, Lyon in the Ligue 1, Olympiacos in the Greek team, Celtics in the Super League, Liverpool in the Premier League, Fenerbahçe in the Turkish League, Porto in the Portuguese League and Roma in Serie A.

The above list is enough for the Italian, English and Spanish media to say happily, "The three major European leagues (Serie A, Premier League, La Liga) have a comprehensive advantage in the Champions League!"

The end of the UEFA Champions League group stage is the draw ceremony of the top 16.

The next day, Wan Sheng rushed to Zurich, Switzerland with Sinal and Bi-Knicks, to participate in the draw of the UEFA Champions League Sixteen.

In front of the venue, Wan Sheng accepted an interview with the media.

Some media asked about the team that Wansheng hoped to meet. Wansheng just smiled and said, "I hope to meet ac Milan. We were eliminated last season, and our players want to win back. However, the top 16 does not May meet ac Milan, the other is okay. "

Wan Sheng's words are rarely agreed upon.

Among the top 16 teams in the UEFA Champions League, a strong team appeared as the second group. There are only Liverpool and Lyon, and Rome can only count half. It is difficult for other teams to pose a threat to Manchester City, and according to the rules of the 16th lottery to `` circumvent the same country and the same team ''. Manchester City will not meet Liverpool and Lyon, after staggering the two strong teams, it does not matter what team draws.

After that, Wansheng entered the venue and waited for the draw to begin. He was arranged to sit next to Ferguson.

The head coaches of the two English Premier League teams were arranged to sit together, but it was okay, but Wan Sheng and Ferguson were more than deadly enemies on the team. Personal life is also an enemy, there is no contact at all, the two do not say a word.

Many media pointed the camera lens over, and the only thing they could take was a picture of two people treating each other as air.

Wan Sheng is talking to others, and Ferguson is talking to others, between them. It's as if there is an invisible barrier that doesn't even turn each other's heads to look at each other.

This awkward atmosphere didn't end until the lottery ceremony began.

The newly appointed UEFA President Platini took the stage to deliver a speech, which was nothing more than some official speeches, praised last year's UEFA Champions League, and by the way carried out some propaganda on the event, after a speech. He helped ac Milan and Chelsea draw opponents separately.

Ac Milan's opponent is Schalke 04.

Chelsea's opponent is Olympiacos.

Seeing Chelsea's opponent is Olympiacos, Chelsea coach Grant suddenly smiled, and many camera lenses also pointed to the past.

This is undoubtedly signed.

After Chelsea won the death sign for several years in a row, the coach currently coaching has become Grant, and he got such a good sign in the first Champions League rematch.

As the Enps TV commentator of the live lottery draw said, "Olympiacos is not sufficient in terms of experience or strength to pose any threat to Chelsea. Grant ’s Chelsea is always running, and it is very hopeful to easily enter the quarterfinals. Two months. A number of the main players in the Blues will be injured, and they will all return to the team at that time. When the knockout game starts, we will see a "Roubles" with a complete lineup and the three militarys.

After the drawing ceremony continued, the new guests helped Barcelona and Manchester City draw opponents.

Barcelona drew Porto.

Manchester City's opponent is the Celtics.

Wan Sheng also smiled.

When the camera pointed, Wan Sheng waved at the camera with a look of excitement. At the same time, Celtic coach Strakan also looked over. The two looked at each other, and Wan Sheng ’s expression remained unchanged. Lacan's face was obviously dark.

In fact, for Manchester City, the six opponents they might encounter are difficult to pose a threat to the division team, but from the perspective of the six teams, the team they most want to meet is undoubtedly ac Milan, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United and Manchester City.

The odds of European bookmakers show that these four teams have the best hope of winning, and they are also recognized as the most powerful teams. In comparison, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Seville and Real Madrid It's better to deal with it.

The Celtics met Manchester City, and for them it was signed.

Then the lottery ceremony continued, and the final round of the sixteen elimination rounds had a result-

ac Milan vs Schalke 04

Chelsea vs Olympiacos

Manchester City vs Celtics

Barcelona vs Porto

Seville vs Fenerbahce

Inter vs. Liverpool

Real Madrid vs Rome

Manchester United vs Lyon

After the draw result came out, the Germans and the French were undoubtedly very disappointed. There was only one team left in both countries. Lyon of France met Manchester United. Schalke 04 had to compete with AC Milan. Slim.

In fact, the Germans are better. Schalke 04 barely made it out, believing a little hope for German football. Before that, they thought that there would not be one of the three German teams in the top 16.

The French are different.

Even though Lyon drew Manchester City in the final round, their hopes of qualifying were still great, but the 16th round suffered the least wanted Manchester United, because in the history of the Champions League, Lyon failed to win Manchester United twice. After encountering Manchester United again, Lyon is probably too fierce. In the face of the luxury legions created by Rooney and C-Ronaldo, the only star in the Lyon team is the newcomer Benzema. The strength of the two sides is no longer in the same grade. "French Football" believes that "Lyon, which has stagnated in the Champions League in recent years, is likely to once again hate the quarterfinals."

Compared with 5 wins and 1 draw in the group stage, and easy to qualify for Manchester United, Lyon's group stage promotion road is very bumpy.

They were almost suppressed by the Glasgow Rangers, and the game against Manchester City was not at all dominant. They started their two-game losing streak with the help of the backcourt to get a thrilling promotion. If they want to be upset at Manchester United, it is really not difficult .

Of course, the difficulties of the Germans and the French have nothing to do with Wansheng. Manchester City has drawn the Celtics. This is a good opponent, so Wansheng returned to Manchester with ease.

But Manchester City's schedule is not easy.

The next day after returning to Manchester, Manchester City ushered in the quarterfinals of the League Cup, the team at home against Tottenham Hotspur.

This is Manchester City's third game in a week.

Even after two rotations, the team ’s status is still affected a lot. Wansheng considers the status of the players and still allows Ozil, Darren Bent, Kopel Ferreira and others to take a break. Players such as Berry, Sun Jihai, Giovanni Morisio got the chance.

In the end, after a difficult 90-minute game, Manchester City beat Tottenham 2-1 and advanced to the semifinals of the League Cup.

This game is not easy.

Although Manchester City easily defeated Tottenham in the league at the White Hart Lane stadium, it also gave Tottenham some experience in playing against Manchester City, plus Manchester City's appearance is not the main lineup. As a result, his performance has been greatly affected. It is not easy to beat Tottenham.

Fortunately, Torres performed well.

Since October, with the adaptation to the team and the Premier League, Torres has been performing well. He has frequently scored goals in the league and the Champions League, and his performance has not been weaker than Darren Bent.

Perhaps it was also the competition between the two, which led to both having to strive for performance with the utmost effort, so whenever they played, they were able to perform well.

This is what Wansheng hopes to see.

Torres scored a goal, and another goal is also very related to him. The team can beat Tottenham in 90 minutes, which is directly related to Torres' performance.

So after the game, Wan Sheng took Torres to the press conference and praised his performance.

"In the summer, I knew Fernando would be the most important member of the team, and now I am very happy to see that he can perform well."

"A lot of people are praising him, but in fact, I'm not surprised that he can perform now. He is really capable."

There are still very few players who can be praised by Wan Sheng, so Torres is very happy after being praised. For him, Wan Sheng's praise is affirmation outside the game and will make him more confident.

After playing the League Cup, Manchester City have no time to review the victory, or even time to think about Christmas, the only thing they can do is to play one game after another.

Two days later, Manchester City ushered in a new round of the league. In the end they defeated Aston Villa 2: 1 on the road ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ The team continued to remain undefeated in the league, and their undefeated games reached 56 rounds.

On Christmas Day, Manchester City rarely took a day off. Wan Sheng didn't do anything. He was bored at home for only one day. The only thing worth mentioning was talking with Anita for two hours on the phone. Others said that there was no difference.

The Christmas atmosphere in Manchester seems to have nothing to do with Wansheng and the Manchester City team. On the day after Christmas, the team resumed training and ushered in a new round of competition on the 26th day of the next day-at home against Black this.

There is nothing unexpected about this game.

Wan Sheng hopes that the team will make a good start to the new year, and all Manchester City players will also concentrate on playing well.

3: 1.

Although a goal was lost, the goal was lost at the end of the game. Manchester City kept suppressing Blackburn, and the opponent did not fight back at all.

After the 19th round of the league, the atmosphere of the Christmas War is also warmed up, because Manchester City is about to usher in the 20th round, which is what the media said, the game of "Samsara" and Chelsea. (To be continued.)
