Chapter 503 Champions League Grouping
With the end of the Champions League play-offs, all the strong players in the Champions League this season have been born.
The draw ceremony will be held in Munich, Germany.
The 32 participating teams were divided into 4 grades according to the UEFA coefficient.
Among them, Maritimo, who participated for the first time, was actually placed in the second gear.
Tied with Barcelona, Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund and other teams.
No matter how you look at it, this kind of classification makes people feel a bit inconsistent, as if a donkey suddenly mixed in among a group of tall horses.
The reason for such classification is because of the rules of UEFA points coefficient.
The classification is based on the selection of the UEFA points coefficient of the team or the UEFA points coefficient of the league in which the team is located, whichever has a higher coefficient.
The team's UEFA point coefficient refers to the fact that the team will get corresponding points as long as it advances, wins or draws in all matches (qualification, group stage and knockout) in the European war in the past five seasons, and the higher the round, the heavier the score.
The points coefficient of the league in which it belongs refers to the average value of all teams participating in the European competition in the league in the current season.
比如，某赛季英超有5支球队参加了欧冠或欧联的比赛，分别得到了30、25、20、15和10分，那么这个赛季的英超联赛积分就是5支球队的平均分20分。
The reason why Maritimo was able to share the second gear is completely due to the glory of the Portuguese Super League.
Since Maritimo has not participated in any UEFA competitions in the past 5 seasons, their points are completely based on the average score of the Portuguese Super League.
Since the Portuguese Super League has relatively strong teams participating in European competitions in recent years, although there are no particularly outstanding teams, they are generally relatively average, so the league points of the Portuguese Super League are actually second only to the top five European leagues!
The title of Europe's sixth league is also well-deserved.
No matter how coldly others look on and how dissatisfied, but the rules are like this, the Portuguese Super League champion Maritimo who participated in the UEFA Champions League for the first time was actually assigned to the second tier.
Now, Maritimo seems to be a good rib that you scramble for. All the giants are staring at them, thinking how to get the weakest team in the second tier!
The Champions League grouping is tricky!
In order to whet the audience's appetite and ensure ratings, one or two death groups are artificially created every year;
At the same time, in order to prevent the strong teams from meeting prematurely, they will deliberately avoid too many strong dialogues.
Therefore, the draw is very important.
The easiest way to manipulate the lottery is to use hot and cold balls to distinguish, and freeze the lottery you want to draw in the refrigerator for a period of time in advance.
In the UEFA Champions League 2015/2016 finals of the 1-8 season, Inter Milan star Zanetti was revealed to have touched a warm ball.
Of course, there are more complicated operations, such as the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in the 2013-2014 season. Before the draw, the guest of draw McManaman, UEFA Secretary-General Infantino, who was holding his hands in his arms, suddenly put his hand on the side of the transparent glass containing the draw ball. His left hand seemed to be pressing something, and then his right hand gently lifted the glass a little.
In the end, Real Madrid got their favorite Galatasaray.
Even, UEFA will conduct a rehearsal draw before each draw.
The name is to let the guests be familiar with the lottery process so that they will not make mistakes during the official lottery, but the real intention is doubtful.
In the 2012-2013 season, after UEFA drew the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals, people were surprised to find that the results of the rehearsal and the final draw were exactly the same!
In short, the lottery is a competition of the club's network and overall strength, and there is no fairness at all.
However, Gao Yuan has a good mentality. Since he wants to challenge the top of Europe, he will have to meet any opponent sooner or later, so there is nothing to worry about.
He even rejected UEFA's invitation to observe the draw ceremony and devoted himself to preparing for the game at the club.
The final draw results are out.
Maritimo fell into the hands of Real Madrid in Group E.
Also in the same group are Bundesliga's Schalke 04 and Austria's Red Bull Salzburg.
Real Madrid's official mouthpiece "Aspen" is already cheering for the signing of the Galacticos.
"In the UEFA Champions League this season, Zidane's team managed to avoid all the big players. The Bundesliga miner Schalke is probably the one who is a little more competitive in the group, and the Salzburg Red Bull, relying on the strength of the capital behind them, has indeed done a good job. As for the second-tier team, Maritimo... Haha, well, they were the champions of the Portuguese Super League last season! Well, let's pay attention to it for the time being!"
For the arrogant and defiant comments of "Aspen", Maritimo was very angry.
However, Gao Yuan was not too surprised.It is said that the news media should be objective and fair, but those who are openly close to Real Madrid and belittle other teams like "Aspen" are probably only rivaled by "Mundo Deportivo", the official mouthpiece of the arch-enemy Barcelona.
And "World Sports News" has a resounding label: World Sports News, toilets are really needed!
In the same way, Aspen, which is as famous as the world, is not much better.
The editor-in-chief of "Aspen" can openly say "We don't want Messi to join Real Madrid for free", which shows his IQ.
After experiencing professional football in Europe, Gao Yuan has a general grasp of the credibility of mainstream European football media:
1. Toilet newspapers: "Marca", "Aspen", "Metro News", "Express", "World Sports News", "Daily Sports".Confidence ≈ 0.
2. Media for the story: "Corriere dello Sport", "Gazzetta dello Sport", "Gazzetta dello Sport", "Daily Mail", "Daily Mirror", "Sun".Credibility: ★.
3. More reliable media: "The Times", "Guardian", "Independent", "Telegraph", ESPN.Credibility: ★★★.
4. Reliable media: Sky Sports, Bild, Sport Bild, France Football, Manchester Evening News, Parisian, London Evening Standard, Munich Daily, Munich Evening News, Echo.Credibility: ★★★★.
5. Flagship media: BBC, L'Equipe, Kicker.Credibility: ★★★★★.
So, this rubbish media can say whatever it likes, and be careful to screw your home team to death!
However, for the sake of prestige, Gao Yuan has always had the temperament of "not making things uncomfortable".
This time, he didn't miss the opportunity to retaliate.
In an interview with the Portuguese media, he said, "I have been a fan of Real Madrid and Ronaldo for a long time. Until Ronaldo left, I found that I really like Ronaldo! Now, I am still a fan of Ronaldo!"
"What about Real Madrid?" The reporter asked stupidly.
Gao Yuan showed a blank expression: "Who? Who are you talking about?"
