Chapter 67 The True Group of Death

"Zhou Yi assisted Reus to score! It can be seen from his assist that Zhou Yi is in good condition. He runs actively in the game and his body looks powerful... We can hardly see the impact of the Olympics on him!" When Reus scored, He Ping emphasized Zhou Yi.

What Chinese fans are most concerned about is Zhou Yi’s situation.

This assist makes people see a normal Zhou Yi.

Dortmund, who took the lead in eleven minutes, then continued to attack Werder Bremen's goal.

In the 41st minute after thirty minutes, Dortmund won another goal. The person who scored this time was Gotze, and Lewandowski assisted him.

Dortmund scored a 2-0 lead in the first half, and there was no doubt about the outcome of the game.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Dortmund was full of rhythm and speed. Zhou Yi was replaced in the 66th minute, which received standing ovation and cheers from all the fans.

However, being replaced by him so early also made some people speculate that Zhou Yi's physical fitness might not have completely returned to his best condition. This is normal. He just finished the Olympics and went directly to training without rest. If his physical fitness is pretty good, it would be a hell.

After Zhou Yi left the court, Dortmund did not score any more goals. In the end, they defeated Werder Bremen 2-0 at home, which was not a big victory, but they were also a light win.

Two days later, major European leagues were in full swing. In the first round of the Bundesliga, in addition to Zhou Yi, there was a Chinese player. Yang Muge started in Schalke 04 against Hannover 96, but unfortunately he was unable to help lose the ball. Yes, when Harke 04 was behind away, he finally shook hands with his opponent 2:2, while Yang Muge played the whole game.

At the same time, La Liga also held a second round.

Sun Pan was injured and still could not play for Atletico Madrid. Atletico Madrid defeated Atletico Bilbao 4-0 at home.

But what attracted more attention was He Ying.

In the second round of the league, Barcelona challenged Osasuna away, and He Ying still failed to enter the roster in this game.

In the end, Barcelona fell behind 0:1 in the first half and chased two goals in a row, reversing 2:1 to win.

The Serie A League also started at the same time. Siena, where Guo Nu is located, tied 0:0 with Torino at home. As the main central defender on the defense line, Guo Nu's performance was naturally very outstanding, helping the team win the opponent in zero.

After this round of European Leagues was completed one after another, the highly anticipated Champions League group draw ceremony was held.

The Champions League has always been one of the most concerned events for Chinese fans because it is the highest-level game in football today.

However, this time, Chinese fans and media have paid special attention, because this season's Champions League will have as many as four Chinese players, this is the first time in history.

In the past, there have never been two Chinese players in the Champions League at the same time. Sun Xiang and Sun Hai have both represented their respective teams in the Champions League, but they did not appear in one season at the same time.

And what about this time? Zhou Yi won’t talk about it. This is his third consecutive participation in the Champions League.

Due to his outstanding performance last season, Schalke 04 also qualified for the Champions League this season, so Yang Muge, as a member of Schalke 04, can also participate in the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid, where Sun Pan is located, not only won the League Cup championship last season, but also won the third place in the league and entered the Champions League directly.

He Ying in Barcelona was also signed up by Bilanova to join the Champions League registration list.

There are four Chinese players who can participate in the Champions League. The first time Chinese fans are so happy. For them, the Champions League is no longer a superstar stage that is beyond reach, and there are more reasons worth their concern...

The first Chinese player to be drawn was Yang Muge. Schalke 04, who was in, was assigned to Group B, and was in the same group as Arsenal, Olympiacos and Montpellier. The strength of this group is actually not very strong. If Schalke 04 performs well, he can still break out of this group and get the second in the group.

Atletico Madrid, where Sun Pan is located, was assigned to Group F, and was in the same group as Bayern Munich, Lille and Polisovbat. Only Bayern Munich is the strongest in this group, so Atletico Madrid has a high chance of qualifying from the group.

The results of Barcelona's grouping were even better. They were in Group G with Sparta Moscow, Celtics, and Benfica. The results of this group were the least suspenseful. With Barcelona's strength, if the group did not qualify in the end, it would definitely be an earthquake...

The worst result among the four people was Zhou Yi. His Dortmund, Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Ajax were divided into a group and D.

The last team to be drawn in this group is Dortmund in the third grade. When the draw guest announced that Dortmund was assigned to Group D, a commotion of unknown significance sounded at the scene. Some were laughing, some were exclaiming, and some were shaking their heads and sighing - Ajax's head coach Frank Debor.

Because in this group, Ajax is of course the weakest one, the target of the other three teams rushing to get points... It feels very bad that such a person is the slaughter and me is the fish...

"Death Group!" He Ping, the commentator of the live lottery ceremony, exclaimed. "Dortmond was assigned to the Death Group! Four league champions appeared in the same group at the same time! There is no more terrifying 'Death Group' than this!"

He was right, this group is a well-deserved "Death Group" in the true sense.

Marcel Leif, a German TV commentator who also broadcasts the draw ceremony, even believed that this was a death group in the history of the Champions League that was comparable to the 1998-1999 season.

The most terrifying death group in Champions League history was recognized as born in the 1998-1999 season. Coincidentally, that death group is also Group D.

At that time, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Barcelona were in the same group, and there was also a league champion from Denmark's Bronderby. This configuration is so similar to the current La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga three league champions and one Eredivisie champion last season Ajax. And to be honest, Ajax is better than Bronderby in terms of historical results and strength. It can even be said that the "death degree" of Group D is now beyond the top.

In the 1998-1999 Champions League Group D, Bayern Munich finally scored 11 points in six games, first in the group, and got the right to qualify. Manchester United was very second in the group. Barcelona scored three points but was eliminated. It was really miserable. Even Bronderby, who is recognized as a role in studying with the prince in this group, won a victory.

This shows the intensity of competition in this group.

The final of the Champions League in the end was also staged among the two teams in this group. Manchester United defeated Bayern Munich at the last moment and won the Champions League title, making their first triple-champion in history, and also made that final famous in history and a classic that everyone recalls.

In fact, there were also many classic matches in the Champions League Group D that season. Manchester United and Barcelona scored 3:3, Scholes, Giggs and Beckham's golden generation goals; Manchester United and Bayern Munich also scored 2:2, and Sheringham made his own own in the last moment, which made people feel as if there was a hand... At the Camp Nou, Barcelona and Manchester United once again contributed a 3:3 goal feast...

With so many classic games, both teams in the finals came from this group, which made Group D of that season famous.

After that, there were some groups called the "Death Group" in the Champions League, but no other grouping result in any season could be comparable to Group D from 1998 to 1999.

It was not until this season that Real Madrid, Manchester City, Dortmund and Ajax formed Group D, that there was finally a death group that was comparable to Group D in the 1998-1999 season.

Last season, Bayern Munich, Villarreal, Manchester City and Naples teams appeared in the same group at the same time, and they are also the group of death. Last season, the defending champions Inter Milan, Dortmund, Valencia and Twente were considered to be the group of death. However, these groups of death are a bit small compared to Group D this season...

In this group, Real Madrid grabbed the league championship from Barcelona last season under Mourinho's leadership. Mourinho's team has passed the running-in period and entered the best time. Moreover, they have won nine Champions League titles in the Champions League, making them the team with the most championships and have rich experience in the Champions League.

Although Ajax is not as terrifying as ten years ago, he has four Champions League experiences. Last season, he also played a climax of a four-game winning streak in the league, which should not be underestimated.

Dortmund beat Bayern Munich for two consecutive years in the Bundesliga and won the Bundesliga championship. They also performed better every year in the Champions League. Last season, they even reached the Champions League semi-finals and finally lost to the later Champions League champion Chelsea.

Under the influence of the gold and dollar, Manchester City has many powerful players in the team and is strong enough. Last season, they slaughtered their city rivals Manchester United, defeated Chelsea and Liverpool, breaking the traditional Premier League semi-finals. They will of course focus more on the Champions League after winning the league championship.

Every team in this group is not easy to deal with, every game will be extremely difficult, and every point and goal may be crucial.

"Damn, Zhou Yi, what bad things have you done recently? You are so lucky!" Sun Pan sighed in the QQ group.

None of the five friends went to the Champions League lottery ceremony. They watched live TV at their respective homes while chatting and communicating in the group.

Someone was drawn out, so everyone will discuss it and analyze the situation of this group. Which team needs to be paid attention to the most...

Whether it is Yang Muge's, Sun Pan, or He Ying's, there is nothing to say. The situation will be clear when the lottery results come out. Unless there is a big upset, there will be no suspense.

Only when Zhou Yi's grouping results came out, the group was in an uproar.

"Murinho's Real Madrid is in good shape, Mancini's Manchester City also has so many stars, and Ajax, who looks the weakest, but if you look down on them, you may also capsize in the gutter... This group is really difficult to play..." Yang Muge was also worried about Zhou Yi's fate.

But Zhou Yi seemed to care nothing: "What's the matter? Have you forgotten how we won the Olympic gold medal? Don't be timid, just do it, be head-on!"

PS, let me tell you something. From today on, I will go out to be a driver for someone for a while and help him drive the car from the distant northeast back to his hometown. I will meet a few friends along the way. I guess at that time, I will have dinner with my friends every day, so I shouldn’t have time to write these days.

Now there are thirteen chapters of manuscripts, so if you update two times a day, the manuscripts should not be enough to be saved in the next few days, so I can only update one day a day in the past few days, and then try to write some things in these days.

I hope everyone can understand, thank you!

In addition, there will be two updates today, and the first update will be from tomorrow~
Chapter completed!
