After the Champions Cup group draw was announced, it was recognized that the group of death was the 6 groups with average strength, while the Premier League teams were relieved that there was no Real Madrid! No International! No Juventus! The strongest opponent of the four clubs is the Bundesliga leader Hoffenheim who lost Li Huan, followed by the Bundesliga runner-up Wolfsburg, the third Lyon in Ligue 1, and the fourth Atletico Madrid in La Liga, QUaNBEN, all of the top four of the Premier League this season are all seeds, compared with previous years, they are more relaxed in qualifying from the group, but it is not ruled out that they will still be blocked by Spain and Italy after qualifying. But British fans are confident that the semi-finals will break into the quarter-finals again, and they think that winning half of the country again is the best counterattack for Platini!

Not only England, but also Scotland have good luck, the biggest winner of this draw is Glasgow Rangers, speaking of which they also have to thank Arsenal, because Celtic is out, the original two bonuses are all owned by them, plus all kinds of income Even if they lose all six group games, they have a guarantee of 10 million pounds. Moreover, the strength of the group they are in is average, and the strongest opponent is Sevilla, so it is not a luxury to try to qualify. In the face of such a good situation, the British media naturally cheered, in their opinion, in addition to Manchester United's group stage, which is still a little tricky, the other three have almost booked a place in the round of 16.

It's so comfortable! That's the headline in The Sun, a not-so-serious British newspaper that said: "English clubs can breathe a sigh of relief that they haven't met any of the biggest European teams." Manchester United are perhaps the toughest of all, going to Russia and facing Turkish giants Besiktas and Bundesliga runners-up VfL Wolfsburg. Arsenal look set to be on their way to the last 16, with the only dispute being whether to finish first or second in the group.

The opening words of the Daily Mail were: Cristian, no, Ronaldo, Inglou's team didn't draw the Galaxy Superstar! The reporter then spoke at length about the interpretation of the draw: "Manchester United looked a little tricky, but they can also rejoice that they avoided the veteran Cristiano Ronaldo, who played for Real Madrid in the second tier. Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal, on the other hand, have been signed with ease, and it looks like they have made their way straight to the knockout rounds. ”

The headline on Arsenal's official website reads: "The Champions League draw has been decided, and Arsenal will play the Bundesliga champions, Champions League winners L. Hoffenheim, Greek champions Olympiacos, and Champions League newcomers Standard Liege in Group H.

Hoffenheim were last season's treble-winners, sweeping the European unbeatables, with Mont Olympiacos beating Bratislava and a 3J win over Sherif in the play-offs to qualify for the group stage. Standard Liege is in the Champions League group stage for the first time, with the Belgian champions knocking out Everton in the first round of the UEFA Cup last season and almost upsetting Liverpool in the third round of Champions League qualification.

But Gunners fans can celebrate early with champagne, not to say that the three group stage pairs don't deserve Arsenal's attention, but let's be honest, whatever the case lies, Arsene Wenger's side have no reason to worry about progressing from the group.

Li Huan personally drew out his old club Hoffenheim, Arsenal and Hoffenheim played twice last season and lost both times, but the biggest change this season is that Hoffenheim's nuclear weapon Li Huan came to Arsenal, and under the advantages of the other, Arsenal's winning side accounted for at least seventy percent.

Although Arsenal have not played against Olympiacos, and Greek teams tend to be super strong at home. However, Arsenal have won 5, drawn 3 and lost 2 against Greek teams in the Champions League, and Arsenal have nothing to do with the Gunners' fans, not to mention that they have not lost at home to a Greek side so far.

Pot 2 and Pot 3 teams do not pose a substantial threat to Arsenal from the cards and history, and Standard Liege in Pot 4 is not worth mentioning, in fact, Arsenal has a good memory of the Standard Liege team, in the history of the two sides only twice, Arsenal scored 1 goal in two games and did not concede 1 goal, and it was in the confession/concave season against Standard Liege that Arsenal finally won the last European championship in the club's history, the European Cup Winners' Cup. Now, when the most powerful Arsenal in history meets the lucky star of Standard Liege again, perhaps Arsenal can fulfill their dream of a European title again. ”

In fact, not only did the Arsenal club fall into a beautiful association, but the Arsenal fans also felt the providence from the darkness, they believed that the best opportunity had fallen from the sky, for Arsenal, for Arsene Wenger, for all the Arsenal people, playing at the best level and winning the group is a required action. For Hoffenheim's manager Rangnick's meaningful words, Arsenal fans were excited, hoping that the team could beat Huocun in two legs and hit the defending champions, which seemed to be low-key arrogance, but neither Wenger nor Li Huan responded positively to Rangnick's words.

The Champions League group stage draw was good news for Arsenal, but after the group draw, they got another piece of bad news, Hoffenheim's transfer to Arshavin had loosened somewhat, and with only three days before the summer transfer window closed, they suddenly became extremely tough, rejecting any offer from Arsenal and declaring Arshavin to be not for sale at Hoffenheim.

According to the German newspaper "Bild", which is also not very serious, Rangnick said harsh things to Arshavin in private, if Arshavin insists on transferring, there is only one possibility, that is, Arsenal will pay another 100 million, otherwise they would rather waste and cut 10,000 euros a year than let Arshavin sit in the stands for three years.

Arshavin naturally understands that Arsenal will never pay 100 million for him, he is not the world footballer, and he is already old this year, after the club said such cruel words, Arshavin only yielded, he said in an interview with the "Rheinneckar" newspaper "After thinking twice, I think Hoffenheim is the best choice for me, I have always liked life here, I have bought a house here, I hope to be able to help Hoffenheim continue the glory of last season." ”

After Arshavin announced that he would stay, Hoffenheim's head coach Rangnick welcomed it: "There will inevitably be transfers in professional football, but the transfer should be based on the wishes of both clubs and players, Andres is an important part of the team, we need him, we are very happy to have him stay, it is almost impossible to repeat the treble of last season, but we will continue to work hard and hope that he can lead the team to play better in the new season." ”

Hoffenheim's sudden reversal and Arshavin's submission did not cause great trouble to Arsenal, after all, their current system is very mature, and the attacking talent in the midfield is abundant, and there is nothing without Arshavin, it turns out that they just want to find a helper for Li Huan. However, as the transfer window closes, there is another thing that poses a serious threat to Arsenal's certainty, and that is Barcelona's hard pursuit of Cesc Fabregas.

Fabregas was dug up by Coach Wenger from Barcelona's academy, Barcelona didn't see Fabregas's talent back then, but at that time, Barcelona's No. 4 position had Ha Xiang \ { "Xavi retired and Iniesta, I really couldn't give Fabregas any more promises, so Xiaofa had to go away to England, and soon there was the youngest player, the youngest goalscorer, and the youngest captain. , the main hometown ↑ basket kiln j$ bregas, I hope to be able to continue the frontier.

Speaking of Barcelona, Barcelona should be Fabregas's childhood sweetheart's first love, there are his friends and relatives, now Barcelona's front core Messi, the back core Pique are Fabregas's childhood playmates, close friends, it is definitely impossible to say that he is not tempted at all, but he has also spent so many years at Arsenal, Wenger has the grace of knowing him, how can he forget it at once, and now that he is back to Barcelona, he does not dare to say that he will be able to become the main force directly, so Fabregas has been hesitant, If you want to talk and stop, you want to say it, and you are in a dilemma.

Barcelona also guessed Fabregas's mood, so they continued to launch emotional offensives, Xavi, Pique, and Messi all called Fabregas, and at the same time the offer to Arsenal was getting higher and higher, and Barcelona even gave an offer of 10,000 pounds when the transfer window was about to close. The Spanish media also began to build momentum, thinking that Wenger took Fabregas from La Masia almost for free, and now it has taken five years, and it should be returned, and now Barcelona has given a blue mantis "10,000 pounds offer, which is already very sincere, Arsenal still wants to let go of people, it is simply trying to use Fabregas as a cash cow and extort a huge amount of money from Barcelona.

Arsene Wenger and the club expressed their indignation at Barca's behaviour and hoped they would stop harassing Cesc Fabregas and respect Arsenal. Otherwise they will appeal to FIFA.

But Fabregas has been kept silent about the luck, do not express any opinions, Fabregas does not speak, the pressure on Arsenal is even greater, Arsenal fans have gathered in front of the Kearney training base and the Emirates Stadium to keep Fabregas, hoping that he will not leave, is now one of the strongest Arsenals in history, they hope that Gubregas and Li Huan can join forces to win the league championship and the Champions League for Arsenal.
