After this round of games, Donetsk's media were naturally very happy. After all, the team is now the most promising team to win the first place in the group.

The first in the group means that they are very close to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Of course, although they have not ensured that they qualify in the group, it is not too difficult to qualify in the group. As long as they do not lose to the Urzicheni union at home, they will be sure to qualify from the group.

Of course, what they want is victory. As long as they win, they will definitely be the first in the group!

"The Miners are expected to advance to the Champions League quarterfinals as the first in the group!"

The Donetsk media have always been very optimistic, especially the recent record of the miners is indeed obvious to all and is very eye-catching.

Even Donetsk's media have begun to look forward to the opponents they will meet in the Champions League knockout round.

"According to the principle of avoidance in the same group, Sevilla will definitely not encounter it. This is a relatively strong team in the second group. There is also Group A. The situation in Group A is very strange. French team Bordeaux actually locked in the first place in the group in advance. In the last round, Bayern Munich will compete with Juventus for the second place in the group, which is really shocking."

"I hope the Miners don't meet Bayern or Juventus when drawing lots. These two teams are big teams."

"The situation in Group B is also quite chaotic, but Manchester United has basically determined the first place in the group. CSKA Moscow will also compete with Wolfsburg for the second place in the group. I can be sure that we are not afraid of them, whether it is Wolfsburg or CSKA Moscow!"

"No surprise in Group C, Real Madrid has locked the first place in the group, and the second place in the group will be AC ​​Milan. I think there is no need to say more about this opponent. Another team is a giant team, which is similar to the situation in Group F. Barcelona has locked the first place in the group, and Inter Milan has become the second place in the group."

"It is not easy to deal with both Milan heroes. I hope the Donetsk miners will have good luck."

"The D group is completely confirmed. Chelsea's first group and Porto's second group. Surprisingly, Atletico Madrid, which has a number of stars such as Aguero and Fran, has not won in one game, with only three draws and only three points. Two of the draws were tied with the Greek Athletics, which is surprising."

"In the e-group, Liverpool also eliminated early, Fiorentina locked in first place in the group and Lyon's second in the group. In this case, the miners are not afraid of Lyon."

"There is nothing to be afraid of in Group H. Arsenal's first group and Olympiacos' second group, it has been confirmed."

After a series of comments on the situation of other groups, the Donetsk media concluded that half of the second opponents in these groups are rich teams and the other half are not weak, but the miners have the power to fight.

The morale of the Donetsk miners team is now in full swing!

Xu Qi helplessly put down Donetsk's newspaper, a little helpless. Unexpectedly, these guys had already begun to look forward to the knockout round before the group stage was over, and their eyes were really far away.

Finally, it was December, the last month of 2009, and winter became even deeper.

Xu Qi's jersey has long been replaced with long sleeves, and he has also put on a scarf and gloves to try his best to keep himself warm.

Of course, this is during training.

If it comes to the game, he will choose to wear gloves, but he will never wear a scarf.

Wearing a scarf will not only affect his movement speed, but also easily pull the opponent in a place where he pulls it. If the opponent pulls it to the scarf, it is actually very likely to cause danger.

So, basically, few professional players like to wear scarves.

Of course, there are some players who are very afraid of the cold and still like to wear it, so there is nothing we can do about it.

...

On December 10, when the last round of the UEFA Champions League group stage arrived, it snowed in Ukraine.

The game against Urzicheni Union at home is a snow battle!

Fortunately, Donbas Arena has been completed and has a very high degree of modernization. This will not affect the turf condition in the stadium. The turf in the stadium is still green, and it is not fake grass, but real grass.

This still shows the modernization level of Donbas Arena to a certain extent.

Of course, it is impossible to turn on the heating in the stadium, so it is still a little cold.

Therefore, you have to do the warm-up exercise before the game seriously.

If it is against a Western European team, the Donetsk Miners, which is more adaptable to the cold weather, has some advantages, but the opponent is Romania and an Eastern European team. It borders Ukraine and is just south of Ukraine. The position difference between the two countries is similar to that of Hebei and Henan.

Therefore, the Urzicheni union is still quite adapted to the Ukrainian climate.

In this game, both sides naturally sent all their main players.

Miners Serner was injured, and Rat and Coochel were suspended.

However, Lucescu also looked for alternatives in their respective positions.

The right back is Lewandowski, who can play as a guest right back position, so there is no problem with substitute Serner.

Iszenko replaced Kuchel's position.

Lat's position was taken by Vasili Corbin.

Although it is not the strongest lineup, Lucescu has practiced this lineup for a long time during this period. In Lucescu's opinion, it is already very mature, and it should be no problem to win the Urzicheni union.

The Urzicheni union also came up with a very targeted lineup.

The lineup has also been slightly adjusted compared to the last appearance.

In the Urzicheni union team, Ricardo Gomez was injured and Marfit was suspended.

In order to welcome the major moment of the team's group stage, Donbas Arena was already full.

In the stadium, orange and black flags floated all over the sky, and the entire Donbas Arena had long become an orange and black ocean!

The prelude to the opening of the Champions League sounded for the third time this season in Donbas Arena.

In the Donbas Arena, there were two Champions League group matches, but the Donetsk Miners were tied by the Glasgow Rangers in the first game and lost to Sevilla in the second game.

Instead, they won three away games!

Therefore, the Donetsk Miners were a little embarrassed and had not won the ball at home (only for Champions League games)!

The record is indeed a bit embarrassing, so many fans hope that this last group match, the home game, the Miners must win!

"This is Donbas! Welcome to the devil's territory!" The fans of the Donetsk miners seemed excited and kept using their singing and roars to "deter" the Romanians who came from afar.

Xu Qi and Adriano stood in the middle circle, the moment the prepared referee blew the game whistle.

Xu Qi's mouth was slightly raised, looking very relaxed. He had been waiting for this game for a long time.
Chapter completed!
