Chapter Nine Hundred and Eighty Third Really Divided Into a Group

The original form is very good, coupled with the stimulation of the private jet, the Notts County players are almost going to heaven!

In the fourth round of the league, they beat West Ham United with five goals in an away game. Before the opponent's brutal style of play was on the table, they were beaten by the Notts County cattle thugs and lost confidence, and finally suffered a disastrous home defeat.

The fifth round also challenged Newcastle in an away game. Now Newcastle can only be regarded as hairless magpies. Their beautiful feathers have long been scooped up by Notts County. Surprisingly, Notts County pecked Newcastle United all over.

After five rounds of the league, Notts County still maintained a complete victory, scoring 19 goals in five games without conceding a goal. No club in Europe has such a perfect start as Notts County.

The newly promoted Tottenham team was discouraged in the fourth round and was taught by Benitez's Liverpool. However, they rebounded strongly in the fifth round and beat their opponents. They are currently ranked fourth in the standings.

Both Chelsea and Liverpool remained unbeaten with 4 wins and 1 draw, ranking second and third respectively, but Manchester United and Arsenal were overwhelmed by the underdogs, also ranking fifth and sixth with 3 wins and 2 draws.

In fact, it is Liverpool that really surprises people. Originally, the Red Army's combat effectiveness was extremely strong. Now after the introduction of the golden boy Torres, it is even more out of control. It remains to be seen whether it will be possible to break the two-strong rivalry between Notts County and Chelsea.

What really makes people sad is Manchester United and Arsenal. The two giants who were fighting for the championship a few seasons ago have now been reduced to the level of fighting for a ticket to the Champions League. Even for three consecutive seasons, the two clubs Only one team can enter the Champions League, and the other team can only watch from outside the threshold with tears, not to mention how miserable it is.

The decline in the combat effectiveness of Manchester United and Arsenal has been obvious, or it is not the decline in the strength of the two clubs, but the overall strength of the United Kingdom has risen too fast. After all, Arsenal and Manchester United have relatively good results in the Champions League. If you don't lose the wind, but you can return to Ying, you really want to kill the enemy but can't return to heaven!

In the draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage on September 1, Notts County was lucky. They were in a group with last season's UEFA Cup champion Sevilla. The fourth team in the same group was the Turkish powerhouse Besik. Tass, the other team is Bei Weilun.

When all the results were announced, the strong dialogue and fateful confrontation that everyone expected did not appear, but there were two groups of death.

In Group C, Real Madrid, Werder Bremen, Lazio and Olympiacos are divided into one group. According to the current strength analysis, Real Madrid is slightly higher, Olympiacos is soy sauce, Werder Bremen and Lazio are two strong teams competing for one There are places, but Werder Bremen and Lazio are not without the strength to resist in front of Real Madrid. If Real Madrid has a slight situation, it is not without the possibility of being pulled down.

In Group G, Arsenal, Roma, Boavista and Dynamo Kyiv are divided into a group. The situation is almost the same as in Group C. Although Arsenal is slightly stronger, no matter whether they face Roma or Boavista There is no certainty of victory, and there is also the danger of being out of the group.

However, the real peak-level contest did not appear, and it was the group of Notts County that really attracted everyone's attention.

Notts County has won three consecutive Champions League titles and is recognized as the strongest team in Europe, and the current state of Notts County has broken through the sky. It is easy to appear, and it is difficult for Sevilla or Beveren to cause any trouble for Notts County.

As the UEFA Cup champion last season, Sevilla is currently second only to Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga. The strength is self-evident. After all, La Liga is still the first league under UEFA. Villa can have a wonderful performance in this season's Champions League to defend the glory of the UEFA Cup.

And Bei Weilun has broken into the top 16 of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, and has established a dominant position in the League One. Their main battlefield is the Champions League. They have almost the overall lineup of the European Red Devils Belgium national team and strong foreign aid. Facing the rich teams, Bei Weilun did not hesitate at all.

As for the Turkish strong team Besiktas, I am afraid no one is optimistic that they can make a difference, maybe they will be eliminated early.

With Notts County on top, the competition between Sevilla and Bei Weilun will definitely be extremely fierce, but the real concern is not here, but Notts County and Bei Weilun are actually assigned to the same group.

The relationship between Notts County and Bewell, as long as you know a little about European football, you will know that the current chairman of Notts County, Paves, still holds 49% of Bewell. The two clubs have in-depth cooperation and are closely related.

Similarly, there is also a Champions League team Boavista, in which David also owns 49% of the shares.

Obviously, the three teams are related teams. Some people have raised this point earlier, because if they participate in the Champions League at the same time, there may be tacit cooperation due to interests, which will affect the image and honor of the Champions League.

However, UEFA's regulations are that two teams under the same owner cannot participate in the same competition organized by UEFA at the same time. right.

David owns 49% of the shares of Bei Weilun and Boavista, which happens to be stuck under the rule node, making it difficult for people to find out their faults, and Bei Weilun and Boavista have a major shareholder as the chairman. Wei will not be responsible for the daily operations of the two clubs at all, at most there will be exchanges and cooperation, and the relationship will be closer.

They can't be banned from participating because of this. If this is the case, then the membership clubs of La Liga don't have to participate in the Champions League!

For example, both Real Madrid and Barcelona are membership-based clubs, and if a person deliberately misbehaves, even a member of Real Madrid is also a member of Barcelona. In a sense, he should be regarded as a shareholder of the two clubs, then Are Real Madrid and Barcelona unable to participate in the Champions League at the same time?

Although the specific situation of David's shareholding is not the same, they are similar in nature and essentially the same.

Therefore, over the past few seasons, Notts County, Bewellen and Boavista have still played in the Champions League. Even if public opinion sometimes criticizes them, it does not affect them in the slightest.

The three clubs have never met in the Champions League before, so the rebound is not strong.

However, this time, Notts County and Bei Weilun were assigned to the same group. In some people's eyes, the two clubs can blatantly play match-fixing!

Some people couldn't do it anymore, they just jumped out, bombarded Notts County, bombarded David, and even pointed their finger at UEFA directly, among which the same group of teams Sevilla and Besiktas were Vanguard!
