Chapter 291 Non-Seed Malice
This draw ceremony was just a very common draw for those regular wealthy families, but it was not the case for Piacenza.
Because he had never accumulated European points in the past, although he achieved the second place in the league, Piacenza was still assigned to the third team in this team division.
This also means that if the signing is not good, they are very likely to be assigned to a death group.
Of course, this is only from the perspective of the entire team members and fans of Piacenza. For the participating teams in other leagues, Piacenza's weight is not the same as those first- and second-tier giants.
In fact, once a team is assigned to the group with Piacenza, they will never think that this is the group of death.
After all, although the Super Maple in the European Golden Boot was strong last season, he was only within Serie A. He was far from threatening without a real European battle, let alone Piacenza's lineup has not stabilized in these two seasons.
Time passed by bit by bit, and the official lottery ceremony on the screen was about to begin.
After the two hosts finished their opening remarks, the first thing they showed was the name of the first team. All of these teams are famous clubs around the world. Whenever a name is put into the goal, the applause can be heard on the scene.
Next is the second-tier team. Juventus, who qualified for the Champions League in Serie A, is listed, and the small balls representing the team have also been thrown into the second-tier team box.
The last one appeared was the box representing the third and fourth tier teams, and the small ball of Piacenza was also placed in the third tier box.
After everything was ready, the commentator on the scene quickly introduced the rules of lottery draws, and the cliché rules such as avoidance in the league were explained one by one. In short, it seemed very comprehensive, and the ultimate meaning of the presentation was that our lottery draws were the most professional.
Finally, after a magnificent music ended, the draw officially began.
After showing off his hands, the football celebrity who was invited officially put his hands into a team box. In the commentator's commentator next to him, the team names were taken out and placed in various groups.
In the Champions League group draw, the classification of the first-tier teams often has no highlights, because only one team is placed in each group, and the most exciting thing is the distribution of the second- and third-tier teams.
After the first draw, UEFA awards for the best defender last season were interspersed, but these had nothing to do with Piacenza.
Because he only focused on the league last season, even Liu Feng, who won the European Golden Boot last season, did not appear on the list of UEFA major awards, so this time he had to watch the lottery ceremony at home.
Soon, the second draw officially began.
At this time, the entire lottery ceremony became more and more beautiful.
Soon a series of interesting distributions caused a stir on the scene. First, in Group A, Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich had become more and more powerful after encountering Nirvana rebirth. Then in Group C, AC Milan, two teams with the highest number of times in the Champions League, were separated by Real Madrid.
The same group of these two giants is undoubtedly the most interesting competition this season, because you should know that AC Milan's Golden Ball Mr. Kaka just transferred to Real Madrid this season. As one of the most popular players in the world today, Kaka collided with his old club so quickly, which is definitely a welcome thing.
Everyone is looking forward to the sparks that the large-scale signing of the Galaxy battleship will bring to the old and stronger Red and Black Legion.
Later in Group F, the encounter between Barcelona and Inter Milan also attracted people's attention. As we all know, Mourinho can be said to be the best coach in the world who is good at defensive counterattacking, and Barcelona has definitely achieved the ultimate in the transmission and control technology in recent years.
People are very curious about the outcome of these two teams with different styles.
After this series of classic groups, the combination of Group H and Arsenal and CSKA Moscow appears very ordinary.
However, this ordinary combination is no longer ordinary for Piacenza when the third team finally ushers in their finale.
Because when the guest in charge of the lottery spread the note belonging to Piacenza against the screen, the second-placed team in Serie A last season was officially assigned to Group H.
When people who were concerned about Piacenza saw this scene, they felt relieved at first, but then they still couldn't escape tension.
The Champions League grouping is a rule that fans summed up online.
However, it is difficult for the third-tier team to completely avoid these two situations. After avoiding a number of champions, Piacenza encountered non-champion gunners, but he still drew many teams that were least willing to draw.
You should know that going to Russia from Italy is not as simple as taking a plane. The huge changes in the environment will greatly affect the team's status.
Not to mention whether the Russian Super League can beat the away game, just the bumps back and forth will definitely affect the team's league and cup games.
Everyone's hearts were mixed for a while, and even Liu Feng was stunned when he saw the CSKA Moscow becoming the opponent.
"Is Russia?"
Liu Feng, who had the opportunity to follow his parents to the northeastern region of the motherland in winter, couldn't help but tremble. It was hard for him to imagine the scene of a competition in Moscow after November.
However, this has not yet reached the most painful moment for the Piacenza people.
When Wolfsburg, which was significantly ahead of the fourth team, was also drawn to the seemingly ordinary H Group, the fans who were discussing online on the Internet were completely in an uproar.
"Damn it, Wolf Castle, I'm really convinced. What kind of immortals are there in this group!"
It is necessary to encounter a strong team. Compared with Manchester United, Arsenal is a bit inferior to Bayern, which is OK.
But then it would be fine if a Russian Super League team had to cross half of Europe to go away games. Now it was drawn to one of the few strong teams in the fourth tier, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty for Piacenza, who was originally Chu Ge.
For a moment, everyone felt the deep maliciousness of this draw on Piacenzafi's seed identity.
Perhaps this will not be the most deadly group in many media, but for Piacenza, it is indeed true.
