Chapter 302 Mission Completed! SSS Cards Accumulated Over Time

Bai Ran wanted to laugh when he heard this.

Dembele?

Is it the Frenchman Ousmane Dembele?

Bai Ran has also seen him play football. The boy is indeed talented and can be said to be the best among his age group.

Even in the past life, Bai Ran clearly understood that this boy was a super rookie at the same level as Sancho, Mbappe, Greenwood, Vinicius, and even Rodrigo.

But the subsequent development was very regrettable. Dembele became very popular in Dortmund and was later taken away by Barcelona.

Barcelona had high hopes for him and even counted on Dembele to make up for the lack of motivation left by Neymar.

Barcelona was very confused after losing Neymar. In the process of finding a replacement for Neymar, Barcelona has been away for many years.

Dembele, Griezmann, and countless superstars have passed through Barcelona, ​​but they can't fill the vacancy left by Neymar's departure.

Dembele, this player, is too individualistic, so he wasted his talent.

Bai Ran even dared to say that, given the talent of this young man, if he could work as hard as Bai Ran, his current achievements would be higher and his future would be limitless.

But there are too many geniuses who are arrogant because of their talents, and there are also many who squander their youth like Dembele.

Although this young player is strong, at this stage, Dembele does not pose much threat to Real Madrid.

The same is true for Gotze. His last-minute goal in the World Cup shattered the dreams of many Argentines and blocked Messi from the door of the World Cup championship, missing the championship.

That last-minute goal used up Gotze's luck of winning. The famous Gotze is actually only at the level of a first-class and a half, which is a world of difference compared to Muller.

The German Gotze is not worth mentioning.

The ones who can really pose a certain threat to Real Madrid are the old stars in the past.

For example, Reus and Aubameyang.

At that time, Dortmund also had the existence of Shinji Kagawa and Nuri Sahin.

Weigl is also very strong in the back, and Sven Bender, Piszczek, and Schmelzer are their mainstays.

Papastathopoulos was also in Dortmund at the time, and their goalkeeper Weidenfeller once became the second goalkeeper of the German team, on par with Neuer.

In general, Dortmund is still Dortmund, and there is nothing scary about it.

Amid the discussion of teammates, the draw ceremony continued.

A: Paris Saint-Germain-Arsenal-Basel

B: Benfica-Naples-Dynamo Kyiv

C: Barcelona-Manchester City-Borussia Mönchengladbach

D: Bayern Munich-Atletico Madrid-PSV Eindhoven

E: CSKA Moscow-Leverkusen-Tottenham Hotspur

F: Real Madrid-Borussia Dortmund-Sporting Lisbon

G: Leicester City-Porto-Bruges

H: Juventus-Sevilla-Lyon

The draw for the third round was over, and the audience and players all took a breath.

This group C, group D, group E and group F can all be said to be the group of death.

As a strong team in the Bundesliga, Borussia Mönchengladbach always maintains a fighting state and has a very good competitive level.

Some people joked: Borussia Mönchengladbach only fights hard battles. It is true. During the fierce competition in the Bundesliga, Borussia Mönchengladbach's performance was sometimes surprising and sometimes disappointing. Facing many teams that are about to be relegated, Borussia Mönchengladbach regretfully lost to the opponent.

But it is worth mentioning that when facing Bayern, Borussia Mönchengladbach was able to win every time. The title of giant killer is not for nothing, and in the Champions League, Borussia Mönchengladbach's moments against strong teams are also exciting.

This is also the characteristic of this team. It is strong when it meets strong teams and weak when it meets weak teams.

It is no exaggeration to say that Borussia Mönchengladbach is a strong team, so Barcelona, ​​Manchester City and Borussia Mönchengladbach in Group C, no matter who the remaining team is, can be called the group of death.

Looking at Group D, Bayern and Atletico need not say much. Since the end of the Champions League knockout round last season, Atletico has been angry. They were in very good shape and made it to the semi-finals. Who would have thought that they would run into Bayern Munich, which is in its heyday, and they would pull Atletico down.

Atletico, who stopped at the last round, can only watch Bayern and Real Madrid compete at the top, and who would remember the semi-finals?

Simeone and Atletico's players are definitely unwilling to give up. This time, the two teams met on a narrow road and had a strong dialogue again. I believe they will definitely bring out the experience of last year's confrontation and present everyone with an absolutely wonderful battle.

PSV Eindhoven is also a strong team. Although PSV Eindhoven is only the fifth largest city in the Netherlands, it is one of the four major technology cities in Europe. Many well-known high-tech brands in the world are set up here. Therefore, the Dutch Eredivisie team we are most familiar with, the European powerhouse PSV Eindhoven, is more and more accustomed to being called the PSV Eindhoven team.

In fact, the full name of PSV is "Philips Sports United PSV", from which we can see who is the financial backer of this team.

With their wealth, they can certainly recruit more football talents, so PSV has excellent results, and there are many top stars in the team's history. Romario and Ronaldo have played here, and Van Nistelrooy also went from here to the top five leagues.

However, these stars are not cultivated by PSV themselves. For example, the two Brazilian superstars must be from the local area, while Van Nistelrooy is from Den Bosch, which is currently in the Dutch second division.

As for Group F, where Real Madrid is located, there is no need to say more. Real Madrid and Dortmund are both well-deserved world powers, and the third player, Sporting Lisbon, has always been famous for training young players and showing excellent technical football.

Their club focuses on youth training and has trained many famous players, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Figo and Nani. Their team style is mainly offensive, focusing on passing and controlling the ball, as well as efficient offensive organization.

Ronaldo's parent team is here. I wonder if Ronaldo can contribute a good performance against this team.

This year's Champions League will definitely bring the world football into a melee of dragons and tigers fighting again.

At this time, the results of the last round of draws also surfaced.

A: Paris Saint-Germain-Arsenal-Basel-Ludogorets

B: Benfica-Napoli-Dynamo Kyiv-Besiktas

C: Barcelona-Manchester City-Borussia Mönchengladbach-Celtic

D: Bayern Munich-Atletico Madrid-PSV Eindhoven-Rostov

E: CSKA Moscow-Leverkusen-Tottenham Hotspur-Monaco

F: Real Madrid-Borussia Dortmund-Sporting Lisbon-Legia Warsaw

G: Leicester City-Porto-Bruges-Copenhagen

H: Juventus-Sevilla-Lyon-Dinamo Zagreb

Finally, the Champions League grouping has been settled, and all teams have found their opponents, including Real Madrid.

In their Group F, Legia Warsaw is undoubtedly one of the easiest opponents, while Dortmund and Sporting Lisbon are not easy to chew.

One is the Bundesliga giant Hornets, which has a devilish home court, and the other is the iconic Portuguese team, with a very sharp offense and young talents. Even Ronaldo's former home team is here.

There is no doubt that Real Madrid will face greater challenges.

After watching the draw ceremony, the Real Madrid players were silent, and their lot was not good.

At least in the group stage, they have to face two strong opponents.

They need to be very energetic!

To talk about the death group, Group C has a bit of this look. Barcelona plays Manchester City again, Monchengladbach has a good offense, and Celtic is one of the strongest one or two teams in the four tiers.

However, Monchengladbach's Bundesliga record last season was fourth, with 17 wins, 4 draws and 13 losses. In fact, this can't be blamed on Monchengladbach, after all, Leverkusen, which ranks third, only has 18 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses.

Celtic is a serious champion with a big lead, but it is the Scottish Premier League after all.

The strong groups have been sorted out. To talk about the real fierce confrontation, it means only discussing the kind of fierce fights between teams with similar strength.

There are more such death groups, such as Group B, Benfica, Naples, Dynamo Kyiv, Besiktas.

Group E, CSKA Moscow, Leverkusen, Tottenham, Monaco.

And Group G, Leicester City, Porto, Bruges, Copenhagen.

They must be very satisfied with their grouping, but why do they have a sense of déjà vu of the Europa League?

Of course, these teams often appear in the Champions League, but if a group of four teams are all teams of this level, then the Champions League group stage is equivalent to death.

So, why should the system be changed, because the Champions League should be the most watched, influential, and profitable club competition, because the Champions League should be a game for the rich, to ensure the appearance rate of the rich to a greater extent, to create topics, to make the Champions League sell at a better price, and every team can make more money when it comes in.

Including small national league teams, maybe their quota has been reduced, and it is more difficult to get in, but as long as they can get in once, even if they only play in the group stage, they can earn a lot of money and increase their investment to fight again next year.

In the final analysis, those who can get in are all really capable, and the giants may not have an easy time. There can be upsets and the games are also good.

However, at this stage, Bai Ran hopes to win the championship and win in the Champions League.

Before, when he got the latest contract from Real Madrid, Bai Ran once "spoke wildly" at the press conference, saying that he would lead Real Madrid to win the peerless glory of "three consecutive six championships" and reach the pinnacle.

At that time, Bai Ran had actually begun to become famous, and countless giants coveted this midfielder.

But what Bai Ran said still ushered in countless doubts. After all, he was only 17 years old. Although his potential was close to unlimited, he was still just a child after all. No one knew what would happen in the future.

If a player's potential is 100 points, then there are 10,000 such people in the world, and there are only three or four people who can persist until the end of their careers and maintain this excellent state, and realize most of their talents.

This is what has been happening every day in football since ancient times.

Whether it is injuries, rebellious periods, or even the rapid development of football, the replacement of tactical versions will have a huge impact on players.

Just like in today's football, players with very distinctive tactical characteristics such as classic attacking midfielders have gradually faded out of people's sight, and youth teams will not train players in this direction. If you are born to be a good player of classic attacking midfielders, there are only two ways to welcome you.

Either you rely on your current ability to go to a low-level league to be a thigh.

Or, you change your way of playing football and your thinking.

I think no player will stop moving forward or go backwards.

So, although Bai Ran can cause a huge impact in the world, it does not mean that he is now a must-have for everyone.

Football changes rapidly, and there are too few things that one person can do.

It depends on whether Bai Ran's development is stable in the future.

To put it bluntly, Bai Ran is not a representative of the peak combat power, but just a lottery ticket with a high probability of winning.

Three patterns have been scratched out of two bananas, and the last pattern has been scratched out of something yellow, but Bai Ran is only 17 years old. Who knows if the next one is durian or grapefruit?

After the group stage draw, Real Madrid's players also returned to their rooms, ready to rest well and meet the next challenge.

They have won three championships this season. If they can win the King's Cup, the Champions League and defend the La Liga, then this will be the first time Bai Ran fulfills his promise and takes the first step.

On September 10, Real Madrid will face Osasuna in the third La Liga match at the Bernabeu.

Osasuna is a football club located in Pamplona, ​​the capital of the Navarra Autonomous Region of Spain. It has a history of more than 90 years since its establishment in 1920. It has been promoted and relegated many times in the Spanish League. At the turn of the century, it was promoted to La Liga again and has never been relegated. Although it is not a strong team in the league, Osasuna always brings surprises to fans.

This is also a team that stays in the middle of La Liga all year round, ranking in the top ten of La Liga all year round. It is typical that it is not as good as the top but better than the bottom.

However, the team's performance in the new season is mediocre. At present, it has achieved a record of one draw and one loss after two rounds of the league, ranking 11th in the La Liga standings. Osasuna can win against many downstream teams, and lose against many upstream teams. In the case of obvious strength gap, there is actually not much difference between home and away games.

As the games go by, Bai Ran's tasks are getting fewer and fewer.

The restless Chinese genius once again logged on to his social media account and posted a tweet.

"Long time no see, fans."

"What kind of performance do you want to see from me in the next game? Please leave a message below!"

Bai Ran has now figured it out. This includes listening to others' advice and having a full meal.

Even if it is an unreasonable request, it is also one of the tasks.

At worst, Bai Ran can just not accept it if he feels that he can't do it? Isn't it a good thing to have more choices?

So Bai Ran also let it go and no longer seek advice from fans. After all, most of these fans are also laymen, and it is unlikely that they can give any good advice.

Otherwise, Zidane should roll down from this position and let the Chinese fans come up to give advice.

But after this tweet was posted, Bai Ran still received a lot of replies.

Fans and fans were very excited. After such a long time, Bai Ran finally posted updates on the media again.

Always focusing on things on the field, fans even thought that Bai Ran had uninstalled these software.

"My eyes are filled with tears. Bai Ran didn't forget his password!"

"I thought you lost your account!"

"Great, Bai Ran. You played really well in these games! I watched both league games. You're like a god!"

"I think Real Madrid won't need Ronaldo in a while. Bai Ran alone is enough to support half of Real Madrid!"

Bai Ran didn't take these compliments to heart.

He was still very mature. After all, he was a man in his thirties in his previous life. He understood this truth very well. Don't take nice words seriously, and don't take unpleasant words to heart.

As long as you do this and try your best to do what you should do and what you want to do, that's enough.

The following comments attracted Bai Ran's attention.

"Oh, you played well in these two games, and you were very selfless. You chose to pass the ball when there were several empty goals."

"Next game, score two more goals! I hope you can show your best condition."

[Ding! ]

Bai Ran laughed and raised a curve at the corner of his mouth.

I knew it.

The system's voice came.

[Task Tips: Score more than two goals in the next game]

[Reward: Free Attribute Points +5]

Bai Ran nodded and happily accepted it. This task was a good one. With his current ability, he would not dare to play against other strong teams, but Osasuna?

It is not difficult to score two goals.

After all, his previous playing style was too team-oriented. He would pass the ball directly when he could. In the next game, he could just shoot by himself. It was actually the same.

What's more, Bai Ran now has a fancy SSS card in his hand, and his offensive ability has been improved. Isn't it easy to score two goals?

Thinking of this, Bai Ran happily fell asleep.

Time passed quickly, and it was September in a blink of an eye.

Real Madrid's home game against Osasuna was imminent, and they began to discuss how to play against Osasuna and what the specific tactics were.

Zidane finally determined the tactics with the players. They planned to use the same method as the last round against Celta Vigo at the beginning of the game.

Bai Ran played as a striker in the frontcourt, while James Rodriguez and Casemiro continued to pass the ball in the midfield.

Asensio and Vazquez were two hardworking young men who could attack and defend.

I just don’t know if Bai Ran and Morata can cooperate better, or let Morata seize more opportunities.

After all, Morata has wasted too many one-on-one opportunities in recent days...

I can’t even count them!

Although Real Madrid’s top management still has patience with Morata, Zidane’s vision is still tricky. He can’t see too much spirituality in Morata. Zidane has guessed the upper limit of this player. Even if his form improves, there will be no big breakthrough.
