782 Leeds UEFA Champions League Prospects Are Bleak
At this time, the Champions League group stage was officially over, and all the teams that advanced to the last 16 were born.
The top scorer in Group A of the first group was surprisingly not Liverpool but Porto, who were three wins, two draws, one loss and eleven points. Liverpool 3-1, 2-10 Group 2, Marseille 2-1, 3-7, Group 3. At the bottom of the rankings was Betaxis, who was two wins, four losses and six points.
So the teams in Group A of the first group are Porto and Liverpool.
Group B of the second group was considered a group of death, but the result was somewhat unexpected. Ranked first was the Chelsea team after the change of coach, they were three wins, three draws and 12 unbeaten points. Ranked second was Schalke 04, who were two wins, two draws, two losses and eight points. Rosenberg came in third with seven points and two wins, one draw and three losses. At the bottom of the list was Valencia from the La Liga, who won one game, drew two, and lost three.
So the teams in Group B are Chelsea and Schalke 04.
The result of Group C of the third group was also very unexpected. It was a bit of a surprise. Previously, many people thought that this was the group of death, but the result was that the aura of death was really strong. Ranked first was Real Madrid, who were three wins, two draws and one loss with 11 points. Ranked second was Olympiakos, who was three wins, two draws and one loss, 11 points. Olympiakos lost to Real Madrid on the road and drew with Real Madrid at home, which put him at a disadvantage and placed him second. Ranked third was Werder Bremen, with six points in two wins and four losses. At the bottom of the list was Lazio, who won two games, drew three and scored five points.
So the teams in Group C are Real Madrid and Olympiakos.
There were no surprises in Group D of the fourth group. It looked very normal. The first team was the Rossoneri AC Milan. They were four wins, one draw and one loss, with 13 points. Ranked second was the Celtics, who were three wins, three losses and nine points. Ranked third was Benfica, who was two wins, one draw and three losses, with seven points. The Donetsk miners were at the bottom of the list, with six points from two wins and four losses.
So the teams in Group D of Group 4 are AC Milan and Celtic.
In Group E of the fifth group, Barcelona were ranked first. They were unbeaten by four wins and two draws, with 14 points. They were very strong. The second-placed Lyons were 3-1, 2-10, followed by Glasgow Rangers, 2-1, 3-7 and Stuttgart, 1-5.
So the teams in Group E in Group 5 are Barcelona and Lyon.
The situation in Group F of the sixth group was like this. The Red Devils United were indeed not disappointed. They were at the top of the table. They were unbeaten by five wins and one draw. They were even the best team in each group. They were very strong. They scored sixteen points. Roma, Italy, came in second with 11 points and three wins, two draws and one loss. Sporting Lisbon, ranked third, scored seven points and two wins, one draw and three losses. At the bottom of the table is Dinamo Kiev, who have lost six games and are the worst team in the Champions League this season.
That’s why Manchester United and Roma advanced to Group F in Group 6.
In Group G of Group 7, the top scorer is Inter Milan from the Serie A league, who are 5-1 with 15 points. Ranked second was Fenerbahce, who was 3-1, 2-10, followed by PSV Eindhoven, who was 2-1, 3-7, followed by CSKA Moscow, 1-5.
So Inter Milan and Fenerbahce are in Group G of Group 7.
The eighth group, Group H, was the Leeds United group, and this was the case with their group. Ranked first was La Liga’s Sevilla, who were 5-1 with 15 points, followed by Leeds United, who were 3-1 with 10 points and 2-10, ranking second in the group. The third in the group was Prague Slavia, who were 1-2, 3-5. At the bottom of the group was Bucharest, who scored four points, one win, one draw and four losses.
That’s why Sevilla and Leeds United are in Group H of Group Eight.
The top eight teams in the group are Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Barcelona, Manchester United, Inter and Sevilla.
The eight teams that finished second in the group were Liverpool, Schalke 04, Olympiakos, Celtic, Lyon, Roma, Fenerbahce and Leeds United.
The Premier League is still strong. All four teams that have advanced to the top 32 have reached the last 16 of the Champions League. Two teams have won the first place in the group and two teams have won the second place in the group. The Spanish La Liga was also very strong. Four teams advanced to the top 32, three teams advanced to the top 16, and all three teams were first in the group. Their results were really very, very impressive. The only one to be eliminated was Valencia, who did a terrible job.
The Serie A game was also very good. Three teams advanced to the last 16. They were Milan and Roma. Two of the teams were first in the group and one was second in the group. The results were very good.
However, there is only one team in the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 that has advanced to the final 16. Germany, France, Portugal, Turkey, Scotland and Greece each have one seat.
This is the last 16 of the Champions League this season.
After the birth of the last 16 teams, Zhong Cheng will lead the team to participate in this season’s Champions League draw for the last 16.
Yes, this matter is still very important.
The drawing of lots for the top 16 was very crucial. It was related to whether Leeds United could advance to the next round!
Leeds United only got second place in the group, which was beyond many expectations!
Based on the strength of Leeds United, they should be able to get first place in the group. Moreover, the other teams in this group weren’t very strong, even the Seville team that won the first place in the group was the same. It should be easy for Leeds United to beat them.
That was true in the first leg, when Leeds United beat Sevilla. But after the second half, Leeds United withered. The situation changed very quickly and there were a lot of things happening at Leeds United that affected their condition.
Therefore, the English media were rather disappointed with the result of the European Championship dying in a row this time, because they thought that all four teams in the Premier League should get first place in the group, so as to reflect the strength of the Premier League, which is the first league in Europe.
Local media in Yorkshire also expressed concern about the outlook for Leeds United.
The draw rules for the last 16 of the Champions League are as follows: Group 1 against Group 2, but teams under the Football Association have to evade, teams in the same group have to evade. At this point, Leeds United are clearly out of touch with Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool, as well as with Sevilla. Therefore, Leeds United’s opponent was selected from the remaining five teams.
None of the remaining five teams are easy to deal with. The remaining four teams are Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Western Conference, AC Milan and Inter Milan in the Milan duo, and Porto. Which of these five teams is easy to deal with?
Therefore, many people are worried about Leeds United!
Leeds United will definitely be a tough match in the knockout rounds of the last 16, and they don’t feel like they have a very good chance of winning. Because this season, Leeds United’s condition has really fluctuated too much, very unstable, no one knows what will happen in the end?
Leeds United fans are also very, very worried that this season’s Champions League trip to Leeds is really, really bad!
Before this, many media reporters had rushed towards Zhong Cheng, wanting to ask him what he was thinking.
Zhong Chengshi told reporters: “To be honest, the current situation is quite good. Although we are going to knock out our opponents in the final 16 elimination, you should know that teams that can advance to the final 16 are not weak teams. It’s the same for whoever we choose, right?” If you want to go far in the Champions League, you will meet a strong team sooner or later.
The reporters were shocked. They didn’t expect Zhong Cheng to be so confident and ambitious.
Media reporters asked: “May I ask Mr. Loria, do you mean that even if your Leeds team draws for Real Madrid and Barcelona, it doesn’t matter?”
Zhong Cheng chuckled and said, “Of course, what does that matter? Sooner or later, we’ll meet. It won’t be a bad thing if we meet earlier, will it?”
Kelly Fox gave Zhong Cheng a thumbs up. Leeds United wanted to be so domineering. However, she was still a little worried. After all, Leeds United’s opponents were all very strong.
Zhong Cheng also said: “In the group match, our performance did have some problems, the fluctuation is very big, this is our club recently many things, but I believe, this will soon recover, we will soon cheer up!”
The media reporters naturally didn’t believe it and stared at Zhong Cheng.
Someone asked, “May I ask Mr. Loria, which of the four teams do you want the most? Which team do you want the least?”
Zhong Cheng glanced at this reporter. This fellow’s heart was very bad!
Zhong Cheng said directly, “For our Leeds United team, I think we can accept anyone. These teams are all very strong and have their own characteristics. It will not be easy against every opponent, but I also believe that our Leeds United team will win. I am confident in myself!”
Zhong Cheng was very tough and confident. This surprised the reporters.
Looks like Madman Loria has a good reputation. He’s going to face the Western Conference duo and Milan duo. Are you sure you can beat them easily?
Stop bullshitting me, will you!
Zhong Chengshi continued: “We still don’t have a clear goal for the Champions League this season. I hope that we can go step by step. We still focus on accumulating experience. Of course, we hope that we can go as far as possible. What if we reach the end? What do you think?”
Every day, the reporters immediately rolled their eyes and thought to themselves, “You think too much!”
Zhong Cheng ignored the reporters and turned around. He waved his sleeve and didn’t take away a cloud.
Only after Zhong Cheng left did the reporters react. They still had a lot of questions to ask, especially about Franck Ribery. They really regretted it!
