v3 Chapter 242: UEFA Champions League: Behind the wonder

With two goals ahead, Magath began to consciously adjust his strategy and replace Raul with Jiang Hao. This is a clear signal: Schalke is starting to pursue counter-attack efficiency, but this does not mean that they want to shrink defense. Instead, Magath let everyone increase the intensity of close-fitting, and taking the initiative to attack is the best defense.

Since the team won the two consecutive championships and the Champions League, Jumagat Real Mountain has also been consciously improving his coaching philosophy. In the past, he may still change his midfielder, but now he certainly will not do so. . As a Champions League champion team, win the game by shrinking in the game, at least in Europe, such a kick is unpopular. Of course, there are more important reasons. Magath hopes that the team can form a temperament that dares to face the challenge and dare to attack at any time. This is very important for the journey of the new season. From this season, they are no longer the dark horses and potential spoilers in the Champions League, but the targets of all the majors' research. They can't do anything without attracting attention.

Under Schalke's initiative, Atletico's midfield was always suppressed. Florence continued to replace Asuncion and Reyes, but Magat directly arranged Zhou Tiancheng's position to drag. At the same time, the back line was pressed forward, and an interception barrier was constructed at a high position in the midfield. Zhou Tiancheng's large-scale interception blocked most of the midfield's ground transmission and control, and Neuer fully flexed his own characteristics of attack and covered the restricted area. A large area at the frontier.

Atletico originally wanted to be desperate, but after a hard time, they retreated back, the reason is very simple, the probability of them being intercepted is too high, and once Schalke forms a goal, the frontcourt counterattacks It was three arrows at the same time, the risk of fire in the backyard was too great, they had to retreat.

The Madrid TV commentator shook his head again and again: "Atletico Madrid's biggest feature is counterattack, but when playing against Schalke, this sharp fist with a sharp spike can't be beaten at all, just like being **** with hands and feet, and then attacking continuously. Same... Atletico played tenaciously enough, maybe this is the only thing we can comfort ourselves."

Let the opponent's commentator say such a persuasive word, which shows Schalke's dominance on the field, and the result of this game is finally doomed.

Winning the European Cup, the happiest is not these players, but they have even tasted the taste of the Champions League, that is the highest honor at the club level. The top players all over the world regard the Big Ear Cup as the highest honor... so the happiest in fact should be the top of the Schalke club, just like Helt said to himself in front of the TV at this time: " We have collected all kinds of championship trophies."

...

With the end of the European Cup, it means that the battle for the king from the previous year's European football has come to an end. Then, the new year's Champions League is coming.

The drawing of the UEFA Champions League in the new season was held in Monaco, so Magath pushed the day of the team's return to Germany a day later. As the defending champion's head coach, he received an invitation letter from UEFA inviting him to attend the drawing ceremony. Since all come here, Magath thought about it, this is good, at least the first time to grasp the grouping situation.

Two days ago, after the UEFA Champions League qualifiers were all over and the top 32 was completely settled, UEFA announced the division of 32 teams. However, this binning result has caused a lot of controversy. The main reason is the great dissatisfaction of the German media.

The reason is very simple, as defending champion Schalke o4, is not yet the first team!

The German media then questioned UEFA's current binning principle.

The UEFA grading rule is that the participating teams determine the grading of eight teams in each gear in sequence according to the European points in the previous five seasons. Taking the new season as an example, the statistics within the UEFA statistics range are the European Championship results of each team in the 2oo5-o6 season, 2oo6-o7 season, 2oo7-o8 season, 2oo8-o9 season, 2oo9-1o season, including the Champions League And the Europa League are included.

Although Schalke won the championship last season and was also a semi-final in the 2oo8-o9 season, the -o7 season seriously dragged their hind legs. In the 2oo5-o6 season, Schalke stopped in the group stage, and because this season Schalke was seriously abnormal in the league, only ranked 17th, so they did not get any chance to appear in the European stadium in the 2oo6-o7 season.

Frankly speaking, Schalke can get the current position in the second gear, really thanks to the strength of the last two seasons, otherwise they are properly placed in the third gear and fourth gear.

However, if Schalke is not a defending champion, the German media may not have such a big reaction. Now the media in other European countries are paying attention to this strange phenomenon: the defending champion is not a first-class team. This seems to be the first time since there are rules for the UEFA Champions League draw.

The German media even directly denounced UEFA’s binning rules as taking care of traditional strong teams and suppressing new forces such as Schalke. Of course they will not fire artfully. In the style of the Germans, they must have reason and special Refers to.

Since they think Schalke should be listed as the first seed team, they will definitely find a team that is not worthy of the first gear and watched the German media to find the criticism: Ligue 1 champion Lyon.

"...This is the most powerful proof that Lyon has not even reached the Champions League final in recent years. It has been hovering between the quarterfinals and the quarterfinals, but with such stability, their status is even better than that. The defending champion is still high! Don’t you think this is a joke? Lyon should not receive such treatment from the team or the league-according to UEFA League points ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Ligue 1 has long been a fight The Dutch League, out of the top five leagues, ranks seventh-even the Russian League, the Russian league in the Far East, but the league champion team of this level has not won the Champions League and the European Championship. The United Cup trophy, ranked first but before Schalke... When may Beckenbauer or Matteus take the position of UEFA President, Schalke has the hope of entering the seed team? Ha ha!"

The German media’s remarks are very sharp, and the spear is directed at UEFA’s current French president, Platini. The last sentence in this report can see the anger of the German media. This is no longer a secret criticism of UEFA’s black box operations. It was completely open to question, and he almost scolded Platini's neck without name.

Moreover, this article was listed on the headline of the sports edition of "Photograph". As Germany's largest newspaper, "Photograph" is not influential in the entire European sports media industry. Obviously, the German media did not intend to be just Closed the door to complain, but to make trouble.
