Chapter 754: Lofty Goals!
Jin Taige set a lofty goal for the players-to win the seven championships first, and then defend the seven championships!
This goal is not only set for the players, but also set for himself.
If they can pull it off, all will be legends among international football legends.
Now that you have set your goals, move forward step by step.
On the evening of August 30th, Monaco was very lively, because the draw ceremony for the 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League group stage will be held here.
Because of preparing for the league game, Kintag still did not come to participate this year. Woodward came to the present on behalf of Manchester United. At this time, Jin Taige was sitting at home watching TV, waiting for the announcement of the result. Not only him, but even the coaching staff and players of Manchester United are paying close attention to the final result.
The results of the lottery came out soon.
Manchester United were drawn in Group C, with Serie A champions Juventus, Bundesliga powerhouse Borussia Mönchengladbach and Scottish Super League champion Celtic in the same group.
This ranking is not bad. Except for Juventus, which is relatively strong, the strength of the remaining two teams is average, at least not at the same level as Manchester United. For this group, the only suspense is the competition for the first place in the group. Whether Manchester United will continue the miracle of five crowns, or Juventus will take the first place in the group, this makes everyone wait and see.
The situation in the other groups was also different.
The four teams in Group A are: Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Ludogorets, Basel.
The gap between the strength and weakness of this group is relatively obvious. It is estimated that the places that appear must belong to Arsenal and Paris.
The four teams in Group B are: Napoli, Benfica, Besiktas, Dynamo Kyiv.
Naples has drawn a good lottery, and his road to promotion is not too difficult, and the remaining teams will compete for another qualifying spot.
The four teams in Group D are: Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Rostov, PSV Eindhoven.
Bayern and Atletico Madrid met in the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season. In the end, Bayern eliminated Atletico Madrid and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League. They meet again this season for the top spot in their group.
The four teams in Group E are: Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester City, CSKA Moscow.
Manchester City has drawn a good lottery. They have Guardiola joining them this year, and they have also bought a number of strong players. It should not be a problem to qualify for the group. The remaining three teams are about the same in strength. The competition for second place in the group will definitely be fierce. .
The four teams in Group F are: Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid, Legia Warsaw, Sporting Lisbon.
Real Madrid and Dortmund met again, and the two teams fought again.
The four teams in Group G are: Leicester City, Sevilla, Copenhagen, Club Brugge.
This group can be said to be the group of death. The strength of the four teams is almost the same, and the Premier League runner-up Leicester City has a great chance to make a breakthrough.
The four teams in Group H are: Barcelona, Porto, Lyon, Dinamo Zagreb.
There is no doubt about the strength of Barcelona, and there should be no problem qualifying. And Porto and Lyon are not weak, and another group qualifying place should be produced in these two teams.
On September 15th, Manchester United's Champions League group stage journey will officially begin. Manchester United, which won the Champions League last season, will fight against Europa again to meet the challenges of various powerful players. Manchester United's road to defending the European title has officially begun!
European football is very lively this summer, and the most rich league has to be the Premier League.
Since Manchester City bought Pogba, they opened the summer transfer curtain ahead of schedule. The benchmark of 100 million euros is nothing to the Alaba funder behind Manchester City. And they not only bought Pogba, but also introduced Stones, Gundogan, Nolito, Bravo and many other players at a high price, spending a total of 230 million euros! Gua Shuai is building his own style of Manchester City. The team has a strong attacker. In the three rounds of the Premier League that have been conducted,
They averaged more than three goals per game and started the Premier League championship this season strongly.
And Chelsea, which also changed coaches this season, at the request of Conte, Abramovich also invested hundreds of millions of euros in upgrading the team. They bought Batshuayi, Eduardo, David Luiz and many other players, and the transfer funds exceeded 100 million euros. They have signings in the forward, midfielder, defender, and goalkeeper positions, and have carried out targeted reinforcements. Although the number of new aids is not as large as before, they are all practical, and good steel is used wisely.
Also investing heavily is Arsenal. On the second-to-last day of the transfer deadline, Arsenal successively announced the joining of Lucas Perez and Mustafi. So far, Arsenal's 2016 summer transfer and signing work has come to an end. The cost of 96 million pounds set Arsenal's summer transfer spending record.
The Premier League giants Liverpool signed a total of 6 new aids this summer, spending a total of about 80 million euros. This expenditure is not too much for the top Premier League giants, but it is not too small. Among Liverpool's six new aids, Mane's worth is the highest, and his transfer fee reached 42 million pounds. Generally speaking, Liverpool's signings can hardly be called excellent, they can only be regarded as barely qualified. In addition, as many as 13 players have left Liverpool this summer. Stars like Balotelli, Benteke, Abby and Joe Allen have all left Anfield. Liverpool started the new season with ups and downs, two wins and one loss, not stable enough.
Tottenham also spent 90 million euros to buy five players, their strength has been improved, and their ambitions for the new season are not small.
As last season's runner-up, Leicester City also invested a high transfer fee of 70 million euros this summer. They are preparing to do a big job in the Premier League and Champions League in the new season.
Compared with them, Manchester United still lived frugally this summer. During the transfer period last season, Manchester United only spent 54 million euros and bought 7 players. This summer they only spent 18 million euros in transfer fees and bought two young men, Maguire and Pavard. But they were very successful at selling people. The sale of Dybala, Stones and Umtiti brought 200 million transfer funds to the club. Although many of Manchester United's loan players have returned, the outside world is generally not optimistic about Manchester United's ability to successfully defend the Premier League title this season.
Not only is the Premier League champion, but even in the odds ranking of the Champions League champion, Manchester United only ranks sixth. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Bayern and Manchester City are all ahead of Manchester United. Many industry experts are more optimistic about the La Liga duo, the Serie A and Bundesliga overlords, and Guardiola's team.
In this situation that the outside world is unanimously optimistic about, can Jin Taige turn the tide, win the seven crowns, and defend the seven crowns?
