One Hundred and Fifty-Three Champions League Groupings Are Released!

In the fourth round of the league at the end of August, Monaco went away to challenge Sochaux.

Since the start of the new season, Monaco has won all three games, but it gives the impression that they have no strong point. It's a bit like the midfielder is carrying the team forward, mainly relying on Suarez, Falcao, Matic, The performance of these four Perez players, even in the combination of the left flank, Gareth Bale occasionally flashes, but it is not as stable as Morrow.

In the game of Sochaux, the opponents took good care of the key players of Monaco, which almost prevented Suarez and Falcao from getting suitable opportunities and breakthrough space.

The score was 0-0 at the end of the first half, and the stats were embarrassing, as Monaco had just seven shots on goal, well below their average.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Gareth Bell suddenly received Suarez's pass from the left side of the penalty area. When Suarez turned and moved forward to drive the defender to retreat, the space in front of Gareth Bell was slightly larger. Some, so he chose to adjust himself and blasted it with a kick!

The football hangs directly in the upper right corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper is dumbfounded in front of the goal line. No one expected the deadlock to be broken like this!

This is Gareth Bale's first goal since joining Monaco. He rushed to the stands of the visiting fans with great excitement, and made a heart-shaped gesture towards the Monaco fans with a smile on his face.

Situ Yunbing is not surprised by this. In fact, the long-range shooting ability in Monaco's current lineup is outstanding!

Gareth Bale, Suarez, Falcao, plus Matic and Perez, almost everyone in the midfield and frontcourt has a decent long shot, enough to form a sufficient threat.

What the French media don't understand is that Monaco is not as rich in style of play as before, but Situ Yunbing wants to simplify the style of play, but hone the simple offensive means to the pinnacle!

Simplify the complexity and return to the basics!

As the defending champion, the opponents encountered in the French domestic arena are basically defensive, so for Monaco, the first goal of the game is often very important.

If Monaco scored first, the odds of winning the game would be very high, but if the first goal was scored by the opponent, the game would be more difficult.

Sochaux started to counterattack after the score fell behind. The pressure they created was limited, and De Gea also played steadily. Monaco’s defense was solid and the city gate was unbreakable. Instead, Sochaux’s back line exposed flaws and was defeated by Suarez in the 78th minute of the game. Seize the opportunity, before slamming the ball into the penalty area in a counterattack, he observed the goalkeeper abandoning the goal. He decisively kicked a lob shot from the spot, and the football crossed a dreamlike parabola in the sky and crashed into the goal. Inside, the generals of Suo Xiao were suddenly discouraged, and they were completely beaten to the point of losing their temper!

Monaco won 2:0 away from Sochaux, continuing the good momentum since the new season, winning four straight!

After this game, Monaco topped the list. Bordeaux and Marseille had a goalless 90-minute away game. While shaking hands, it was actually a loser. Monaco dominated the top spot!

The fifa match day came, most of the Monaco players were called up by the national team to participate in the war, and Situ Yunbing got a short vacation.

On September 2, UEFA conducted the draw for the new season's Champions League group stage.

Situ Yunbing and Alonzo were sitting in the living room of the hotel suite, drinking and watching the draw on TV.

Monaco, unsurprisingly, was placed in fourth pot.

Let's put it this way, as long as the champion team of any league in Europe has played the Champions League and the Europa League in the past four years, their European points will be higher than that of Monaco, so Monaco must be fourth according to the European points. Rank, but at the same time, it will also refer to the European competition points of the league in which it is located. The higher value of the two is taken. However, considering that teams like Bordeaux can only be assigned to the third pot, they have been in European competitions in the past few years. Monaco couldn't possibly be higher than Bordeaux, so it was placed in fourth pot.

In the living room, Alonzo watched the TV screen very seriously. One team was drawn out by another, and the fourth-round team would be announced at the end.

So it won't be so early to decide which group to get into.

Situ Yunbing was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window wearing a T-shirt and shorts, holding a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Seeing Alonzo being so serious, he asked with great interest, "Which teams would you like us to be in a group with? ?"

Alonzo looked at Situ Yunbing, still with a serious and solemn expression on his face, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, it seems that I don't want to meet any giants, but I think what's the point of playing the Champions League if I don't encounter giants? "

Situ Yunbing smiled without saying a word, and Alonzo turned to ask him, "What do you think? Who is our ideal opponent?"

Situ Yunbing took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "First gear, Barcelona, ​​second gear, Inter Milan, third gear, Stuttgart, fourth gear, Monaco."

Alonzo laughed dumbly, and then said: "This is almost a group of the strongest teams in each pot!

Although it would be stronger to change the second gear to Real Madrid and the third gear to Atletico Madrid, but they are all from the same league, so it does not hold.

Why? What are the benefits of this grouping for Monaco? "

Situ Yunbing said with a smile: "Of course, if we qualify from this group, then at least one favorite team to win the championship will be eliminated! Isn't this the best result?"

"But it's not easy for us to qualify," Alonzo said.

"There is no difference between second and last in the knockout round."

Alonzo was completely speechless.

Perhaps only Situ Yunbing thinks so.

He still prayed in his heart that Monaco would never be assigned to the group Situ Yunbing said.

When it was time to draw the fourth pot, Alonzo became extra nervous.

Situ Yunbing seemed relaxed, but in fact his eyes never left the LCD TV on the wall.

When Monaco were drawn, the big screen showed Monaco being drawn into Group D.

The teams in the top three pots of this group have long been drawn.

First gear, Chelsea.

Second gear, Porto.

Third pot, Atlético de Madrid.

Fourth gear, Monaco.

The group of death is born!

At the same time, Monaco's players and fans also learned the news of their grouping results, and everyone reacted differently.

Some people are excited because they can play against a Premier League giant like Chelsea.

Some were worried that Monaco would not be able to qualify in such a cutthroat group.

Situ Yunbing got half-drunk, and then slept soundly.

Wake up the next day and start a regular life, working out, working on opponents, and driving his sports car along the coastline when he wants to relax.

The French media expressed an atmosphere of encouragement for the results of the Monaco group draw.

Probably no one thinks that Chelsea will be eliminated in this group, because Chelsea's European results have been stable for the past few years.

If it weren't for the Stamford Bridge tragedy last season, maybe Chelsea would have a chance to avenge Manchester United. How could the runner-up the year before and the semi-finals last year fall in the group stage?

The reason why Porto can be placed in the second tier is that in the past few years, their Champions League results have been average, but even if they are eliminated in the group stage, they can still move to the Europa League and continue to earn points in the European competition. Therefore, the key to the high points in the European competition is Participation in the European war is also relatively stable.

Atlético de Madrid have only been able to get into Pot 3 by earning some points in Europe over the past two years.

And Monaco, as the Champions League, can even be said to be a newcomer to the European War, they need to compete with Atletico Madrid and Porto for a qualifying spot.

In the eyes of the outside world, these three teams have a fairly obvious gap with Chelsea, but the gap between the three of them is very small. The so-called group of death is relative to these three clubs.

So at this time, the French media must cheer for Monaco, hoping that Monaco can play well in the group stage and knock out the other two teams to reach the round of 16.

The fifa match day is over and the players return on time. Monaco's Champions League group stage will officially kick off in the middle of next week. Before that, in the fifth round of the weekend, Monaco will face Paris Saint-Germain at home.

At the pre-match press conference, reporters asked Situ Yunbing for his views on the UEFA Champions League grouping. Situ Yunbing smiled and said: "Monaco is the fourth-tier team. Let's take a look at the results of the other seven groups. In fact, we are divided into Any group is in a similar situation, since no matter which group is drawn, the situation is similar, so we don’t have any opinions, and try to fight for a good result, this is what we have to do.”

Regarding whether tomorrow night's game will retain strength for the Champions League, Situ Yunbing replied seriously: "Our basic goal this season is to defend the title, so we will not take the league lightly!"

French media reporters believed Situ Yunbing's words.

But at the Stade Louis II the next night, Monaco's squad was clearly rotated!

And Situ Yunbing has also changed!

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Adriano, Benatia, Vertonghen, Muratori.

Midfielders: Witsel, Matic, Perez, Gareth Bale.

Forwards: Falcao, Nimani.

The reporters in the media booth all had a wry smile on their faces, they were deceived by Situ Yunbing!

But this kind of smoke bomb is too normal, it's just that Situ Yunbing has never thrown a smoke bomb before.

They don't mind it, Monaco rotation is the norm!

And Situ Yunbing retained the team's central axis during the rotation, and obviously he was still afraid of Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Paris Saint-Germain lost a lot of blood this summer. Except for Rotten who was banned for bombarding the club at the end of last season, and was loaned to the Scottish Super League Rangers in the new season, the conflict between coach Legan and the management The main goalkeeper, Landero, was disheartened and switched to Lille. The mediocre and high-paid veteran Kežman was sent to the distant and cold Zenit St. Petersburg. Bialra also left the team.

Paris Saint-Germain has no bright spots in signings, and it can be said that they have come to the darkest trough again.

But Situ Yunbing knows that this is the last darkness before the dawn of Paris Saint-Germain. It won't be long before Paris Saint-Germain will be dominated by a wealthy consortium, and Paris will rise strongly in Europe!
