On the day after the draw for the Champions League group stage, all major media outlets rushed to report on the Champions League group stage, and all reports chose similar titles and content.
"Meet old friends!"
As for the participating teams in their respective countries, the media in each country also pay different attention to it.
The headline of Gazzetta dello Sport, a well-known Italian media outlet, has only one word: "Go home!"
"Perhaps even Kaká himself did not expect that he, who just left AC Milan to join Real Madrid this summer, would go home so soon. But this trip home may not be so pleasant. When the former San Siro darling What will Kaka face when he becomes an enemy of San Siro and returns to Milan? When he faces the AC Milan goal, can he still take a shot calmly? "
The Spanish media "World Sports News" expressed strong interest in the grouping of Barcelona and Inter Milan.
"More than ten years ago, no one could have thought that an ordinary assistant coach in Barcelona would become a famous first-class coach in international football in the future. When he left Camp Nou, Mourinho left for Portugal. But in a few years After that, he went tit-for-tat with Barcelona at Chelsea and made enemies of Barcelona many times, regardless of the friendship back then."
"This season, Inter Milan, which he coaches, will play against his old club Barcelona again. It has to be said that to this day, the madman's career is inseparable from Barcelona. Maybe one day, he will come to La Liga and even become a Real Madrid’s coach continues to be an enemy of Barcelona!”
In addition to these two biggest "going home" hot spots, many players will also face the teams they have played for.
Chelsea defender Carvalho returned to the Dragon Stadium, Monaco defender Sun Jihai once again faced his old club Manchester City after eight years of service, Inter Milan forward Eto'o and Barcelona forward Ibrahimovic faced their old clubs respectively...
In addition, the collision between Monaco and Cottbus is also very interesting.
"Berlin Sports Evening News" expressed its excitement: "Yunsheng returns to the Friendship Stadium! Will he be greeted with applause or curses?"
"Bild" chose a photo of fans holding a banner in front of the club, with clearly written words on the banner.
"Welcome back! Our Chinese hero!"
"Kicker" published an exclusive interview with Sandel, the current coach of Cottbus. Regarding He Yunsheng's return, Sandel's words were firm and powerful.
"Yunsheng is the pride of this city, there is no doubt about it. Because the young people promoted by Yunsheng before, even Cottbus are now benefiting. But what I want to say is that Cottbus is now stronger When I see Yun Sheng again, I will hug him and tell him how strong Cottbus is now!"
The draw ceremony for the Champions League group stage took place in the evening in Monaco, but it was late at night in China. Despite this, many Chinese players stayed up late in the hotel to watch the live broadcast, looking forward to the grouping dust settling.
When the host announced that Monaco and Cottbus were in the same group, several young Chinese people jumped up from their chairs and cheered.
Dong Fangzhuo punched Yu Hai excitedly: "Xiao Hai, I didn't expect that we would still have a chance to become rivals. It's great! When we return to Europe, I will definitely let you see how powerful our Monaco is!"
"Shit! Although you Monaco have good results, Ligue 1 has declined, and winning the championship is no big deal." Yu Hai said disdainfully, "We Cottbus can win the Bundesliga championship and reach the Bundesliga for two consecutive years. We are the best in the Champions League finals!"
Shaojia nodded: "Although there are many stars in the Monaco team, I still think Cottbus's overall playing style is better and our winning rate is higher."
Zhou Haibing also nodded: "As of now, Cottbus is ranked second in the league and has maintained a winning streak. It is in excellent shape this season. I also think Cottbus has a higher winning rate."
Dong Fangzhuo was extremely depressed. He looked back at young Wang Chuhe: "Brother, why don't you say anything? Tell me, can Monaco win?"
Wang Chuhe smiled slightly, with a very indifferent expression: "Actually, it's hard to say who is stronger between the two teams, but both teams are in good condition. As for who wins and who loses in the Champions League group stage, we still have to see how we are in the group stage. We only meet in the second round of the tournament, and there is still a month until the game. Whichever team is in better shape by then will have a higher winning rate."
"It's as if you didn't say anything." Dong Fangzhuo curled his lips and looked at Zhang Linpeng beside him, "Brother, do you think Monaco can win?"
"I'm still in the youth team, and I haven't even made it to the first team, so it's hard to say. But I see that Monaco is in particularly good shape recently, and there are more big-name stars in the team, so I am more optimistic about Monaco." Zhang Linpeng said bluntly.
Yu Hai disagreed: "When two teams play against each other, if it's just to see which team has more big-name players, then what's the point of playing? Bayern has more big-name players than we do in Cottbus, but we still beat them!"
"Hey, it seems you are not convinced. Anyway, I just think Monaco is stronger! I'll find a neutral team player and ask him to tell me which team is stronger?" Dong Fangzhuo held up the TV remote control in his hand. He threw the weapon towards the sofa, "Brother, to be honest, who among us can win?"
Chen Tao had been sitting on the sofa without saying a word. Even when he saw the results of the group draw came out, he showed no expression.
Seeing the remote control thrown by Dong Fangzhuo, although Chen Tao did not look directly at Dong Fangzhuo, he still reached out and caught it quickly and neatly.
Dong Fangzhuo smiled: "You are very skilled. I haven't seen you for a few months. Have you changed your career to become a goalkeeper?"
Chen Tao ignored him.
"What's going on with you guy? Let me ask you, who do you think can win?"
"I don't know either."
"Hey, you guy, we haven't seen each other for a few days, are you out of your mind?"
Chen Tao stopped talking again.
Dong Fangzhuo looked Chen Tao up and down: "Why are you so listless now, that is, we didn't meet Arsenal in the Champions League group stage, otherwise we would have to teach you a lesson. After a few days in the wealthy team, you don't like to talk to everyone." While we were chatting, I saw that you were drifting off."
Dong Fangzhuo had a good relationship with Chen Tao, so he did not hesitate to insult him a few times. However, unexpectedly, Chen Tao raised his head and looked at Dong Fangzhuo with a bitter look on his face: "Brother, even if we meet Arsenal in the Champions League group stage draw, You won’t run into me either.”
"Why?"
"Because Wenger didn't sign me up at all in Arsenal's Champions League roster this season..."
"What? What's going on with you!"
