Although he said he was going to Manchester City to save face for North London, Li Bin also had another thing to do before that. He was going to Monaco to participate in the draw there to see where he would play in the Champions League.
Who do you meet above?
Fighting against Arsenal, even if he wins in August, it is not a big deal. What can a best coach of the month be worth? What's more, Li Bin himself also knows that his results are not very good. From the second game
The number of goals scored dropped every game from the beginning of the game. Compared with Arsenal's attacking power, which averages more than 4 goals per game, Tottenham is still a little unstable.
If there is anything that makes him happy, it is that Arsenal's defense is still the same. Although Wenger has improved the team's offensive capabilities, he did not let his team change too much defensive concepts. It encountered Manchester City's offensive
, they still can't stop it even if they lose the ball, so Arsenal is not in danger.
Otherwise, if there is an extra strong player on the side to cause trouble for them when playing a double line, the pressure on Tottenham will be even greater.
Seeing that Arsenal is not strong enough, Li Bin is relieved. Now he is worried about the Champions League.
Tottenham is now a third-tier team, and this level determines that their games will not be particularly easy to play. The current first-tier and second-tier teams are still very capable. Li Bin and them
Even if you play in a competition, you won't be able to play well.
Among the teams in the first tier, Tottenham need to avoid Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United. Originally, Arsenal was also in this tier, but they went to play in the Europa League, so there is nothing to say.
The remaining teams are Barcelona, Milan, Sevilla, Bayern, and Lyon.
The strongest one here is undoubtedly Barcelona. Although Barcelona lost the Champions League last season, they won the league double. Moreover, their record number of goals and delicate and smooth cooperation have already made people give them the title of Dream.
Three names. Although Messi has not yet won a Champions League that truly belongs to him to crown himself, his level is recognized by people. In fact, many people are beginning to look forward to Messi winning the Champions League at the Bernabeu.
, and at the same time won the World Cup in South America, repeating Maradona’s myth.
This is also the team Li Bin is most afraid of meeting - no matter how confident he is, Li Bin doesn't want to compete with strong teams in the group stage.
In the second tier, the strongest teams are Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Juventus. In this tier, Tottenham has no teams to avoid—the three teams in the Premier League are all in the first tier.
Here, Juventus Li Bin is not very afraid, but Real Madrid now has Mourinho. With his nature, he will definitely defend and counterattack. Such Real Madrid is definitely tough. And Inter Milan now has Pellego
Rini, he has Milito, Eto'o, David Silva and others in his hands, and he is equally strong. It is difficult to deal with these two teams when they encounter each other.
In the remaining fourth tier, there are no particularly difficult opponents. The strongest one is Fiorentina. Teams at their level are generally not strong, so Li Bin doesn't have to worry too much.
However, the most important thing is which opponent Tottenham will draw among the first and second tier teams. This is what worries Li Bin the most.
If you are lucky and get a Sevilla teamed with Lisbon, then Li Bin can basically play it as a game. But if you are unlucky and get a Barcelona teamed with Inter Milan, then Li Bin will have to risk his life.
Fortunately, although his luck was not as good as he imagined, it was not bad at all. When the results of the lottery came out, Li Bin was stunned.
"AC Milan, Porto, Tottenham, Celtic."
Is this the rhythm of a walk on base? Li Bin couldn't help but feel ecstatic when he saw this result.
Li Bin originally thought that since Real Madrid is in the second tier and Milan is in the first tier, UEFA is so stupid that it would be better to have a European derby and let them fight. But he did not expect that maybe it was to welcome Muri
Nio's return after his hiatus, the first-level team Real Madrid encountered was Che
Erxi, the madman's return to the Blue Bridge is UEFA's script. Milan, on the other hand, has become Li Bin's opponent. Porto, the second-tier team, is quite good. I'm afraid this is also to increase the attraction——
UEFA is not only using Mourinho to find highlights, Li Bin is also a tool for them to find highlights.
Looking at this result, Li Bin also thought about it: the highlights are not only found in others, but also in himself. He is now a Champions League level coach, and he has returned to Italy. For many fans,
It’s not a big attraction either.
However, it is quite surprising that the one arranged for him is not Inter Milan, but AC Milan. Li Bin has more entanglements with Inter Milan. To say that he has any entanglement with AC Milan, it is nothing more than losing to AC Milan once...
…
Thinking of this, Li Bin also understood that his record against AC Milan in the Champions League was not superior, which was the media's propaganda point. Last time he led Parma to lose to AC Milan, and now, Tottenham is playing in the Champions League for the first time.
I met AC Milan again, which was just a gimmick.
However, this situation couldn't be better for Li Bin.
Li Bin thought before the season that although the focus of this season is the league, the Champions League will definitely not be able to qualify for the group stage. In Li Bin's memory, he clearly knows how Manchester City will be scolded for playing in the Champions League in the future.
That's right, and Li Bin also believes that not going far enough in the Champions League will do any good to the players' strong dialogue skills.
The Champions League is the highest level cup competition. Everyone has to admit this. In the highest level cup competition, you can never win against strong opponents and can only be beaten in the league. This is definitely not good for the confidence of the players. Especially
It's because Tottenham have just set up the airs and can't have problems at this time.
But now looking at this posture, Li Bin is indeed more relieved now. None of these opponents makes Li Bin feel threatened. -Milan? Now that Ancelotti is gone, the coach has been replaced by Leonardo.
What kind of football do they still play? Last season, Ancelotti's coaching performance was poor. He stumbled and only got fourth place in the league and was fired by Milan. But Li Bin has always believed that the deeper reason for Milan is probably
They were ready to start a big purge, so they took out Ancelo who refused to cooperate.
Tie left. In order to win over Leonardo and let him help Milan get players from Brazil, they made Leonardo the coach. Last season, Milan was almost unable to support its age.
Well, this season, Milan’s so-called enhancement is still
Of course, it doesn’t cost a penny. You basically rely on yelling to buy people, and you basically rely on picking up players. A group of old bones are replaced by a novice coach, and he is also a coach whose ability as a manager far exceeds his ability as a coach. If we continue to fight
But they, Li Bin, are too embarrassed.
The previous feud with them was just restored - although Li Bin knew that this was the original intention of UEFA's arrangement, he was also very happy with this opportunity. He was not as handsome as Leonardo, but compared to playing football,
How can he compare with himself?
Porto? Their head coach is Villas-Boas now, a well-known person, but for a newbie, teach him how to play football, and by the way help send him to the Europa League to help the Portuguese Super League increase points. Porto is here
It has been a lot of fun to open a black shop for two years, but in terms of absolute strength, the Portuguese Super League team has lagged far behind, and the possibility of victory is very high.
As for the Celtics? This couldn't be better. They even save on flying. The energy savings are huge. This is really good for their long-term plans.
Among these four teams, Tottenham can be said to be the strongest. Li Bin also lamented: He has now become a part of the scenery. When UEFA also starts to use him to create gimmicks, then
, he can really get a lot of benefits.
There is nothing better than playing against a team like Milan. They are not strong but have a great reputation. It is not difficult to defeat them, but they can also get the reputation of defeating the powerful ones - it is a good thing that has both inside and outside, it is really lucky.
"You are really lucky." After Li Bin finished the interview, he also met his old friend Ancelotti, who now took over Chelsea, "Milan, Porto, these teams are very simple for you, right?
?”
"It's not bad." Li Bin looked at Ancelotti, "You're also lucky. Except for Real Madrid, no one in your group threatens you."
"Isn't it possible that being second in the group isn't miserable enough?" Ancelotti smiled bitterly, "And in this fight, whether you win or lose, you may have to be scolded. This is called pain."
Li Bin smiled. He knew that Fatty An was just complaining. In fact, he should be very satisfied with the situation. Chelsea is a strong team, although it may not be safe enough to beat Real Madrid under Mourinho, but
, playing other teams should be safer than the newly created Galaxy II. He has a high hope of winning the first place in the group. Moreover, even if there is a real problem, he cannot talk nonsense to himself. He comes to talk to himself,
It's definitely not for these things.
"Lee, you have also seen that Manchester United's team is the simplest. Compared with yours and mine, it is much simpler." After Ancelotti said a few words, he got to the point, "Lee, we are all
It's an Italian who came to England. This season, your tasks and mine are very heavy. You want to lead Tottenham to achieve good results, but I have to lead Chelsea to achieve good results. We are friends, there is no need.
He is too cruel to his own people, so I think..."
"Are you afraid that I will let Manchester United go and then fight you with all my strength?" Li Bin asked back.
"My Chelsea team is the strongest and may win the most championship this season. You know it and I know it too. You are very likely to fight me. Of course I am afraid of this." Ancelotti did not hide it, "But you also know that in
Playing in the Premier League does not necessarily depend on strength, experience, schedule, and means are all important. The two of us cannot compete head-on. I suggest that we might as well form an alliance, and we will all fight against Manchester United with all our strength, and then you and I will retreat when we meet.
How about one step?"
"What's in it for me?"
"You can't fight between us. Even if you succeed in attacking me, it will be difficult for you to deal with Ferguson. And if you succeed in attacking Ferguson - maybe you can defeat me. At least, the hope of defeating me is greater than that of defeating Ferguson.
More."
Are you not ashamed, but proud?
However, although Li Bin was complaining like this in his heart, he was doing something else.
"I have no objection." Li Bin stretched out his hand, "We should cooperate."
"I didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to...how do you want to plot against me?" Ancelotti stretched out his hand, but his mouth was not forgiving.
Li Bin smiled. He knew that Ancelotti must be preparing to deal with Tottenham. Chelsea has not been weak in the past two years, and there are quite a few allies in the league. They want to plot against Tottenham.
It is much easier to plot against them than Tottenham, a newly emerging team. However, even so, this alliance does no harm to Tottenham - at least Li Bin is more worried about Manchester United. Chelsea is the strongest now, wait until the second half of the season
, that’s not necessarily the case.
So what if you have the strength? Your Terry, coupled with the consistent shameless style of the English media, will help me turn things around!
