With the end of three league games, Europe ushered in the national team competition, each national team regrouped in preparation for Euro 2008, and many players of the Red Rebels were also selected for their respective national teams, including David Beckham, Michael? Johnson, Ismail, John Terry, Curtis and Theo Walcott have also continued to be named in the England squad. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Originally, it was rumored that McClaren intended to abolish the captain's armband of David Beckham, which was denied by the FA, and they held a press conference to attend with McLaren, who made it clear at the press conference that Beckham is an important member of the national team and that he is also the captain of the England national team.

With the first national team call-up after the World Cup, and with the new round of national team personnel adjustments, the Red Rebels have once again become the focus of all media attention, this time not because of the competition, nor from business, but because of the captain's armband.

England's captain's armband is David Beckham, and the vice-captain is Terry, which is also understood to be a manifestation of the excessive power of the Red Rebels in the England national team, but with the convening of the new round of national teams, everyone found that the captain's armband of the Red Rebels has unconsciously increased.

The first to change the captain was the Czech Republic, Nedved has made it clear that he will retire from the national team, and the old captain Galasek is also at the end of his career, and the Czech national team has decided to re-select a qualified captain.

There are actually only two favourites for the Czech captainship, one is Arsenal midfielder Rosicky and the other is Red Rebels main goalkeeper Petr Cech, and these two players from the Premier League are worthy of the captain's armband in terms of seniority and quality.

After the Czech national team's training camp, there was a lot of discussion within the team, and it was finally decided to hand the captain's armband to goalkeeper Cech, while Rosicky was the team's vice-captain for the Euro 08 qualifiers, and then it will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

In the past few years, Cech has performed better and better with the rise of the Red Rebels, and before the World Cup, he once beat Buffon to become the world's No. 1 goalkeeper, even after the World Cup, countless fans are still dissatisfied with Cech being below Buffon, thinking that the reason why Cech failed to perform in the World Cup is because of the drag of the Czech national team.

"Look at Petr Cech's performance in the Red Rebels, Buffon simply can't hold him down!"

Even Czech Football Federation officials had to admit when they announced that Petr Cech was captain, "Petr Cech is one of the most important players in the Czech national team today, and he knows very well what the Czech national team and fans want after the defeat in the World Cup." ”

Petr Cech said at a press conference that he was proud to captain the Czech national team and that he was eager to lead the Czech Republic to the European Championship and achieve excellent results.

Coincidentally, in the new Serbian national team, Red Rebels' main central defender Vidic wore the captain's armband of the Czech Republic for the first time, which is also a recognition of his outstanding performances.

With a number of players such as Patrick Vieira and Thierry Henry unable to start in the first international game, Patrice Evra was given the captain's armband; For the first time, the Brazilian captain's armband was worn by Kaka, also because Lucio and other players did not make it to the new Brazilian national team due to injury, and Zambrotta also wore the armband of the Italian national team for the same reason.

The captain's armband of the Portuguese national team will be shared by Ronaldo and Andrade, in the case of the former, the captain's armband will be handed over to the Red Rebels star, and once Ronaldo is absent, Andrade will wear the captain's armband, Scolari's criteria for choosing the captain are, who is famous and who is in charge!

In addition to this, the captain of the Ghana national team is Essien; The captain of the Ivory Coast is Didier Drogba; Captain America armband was worn on Casey this time? Keller's arm!

It is precisely because after the national team is assembled, the news that the Red Rebels players have become captains one after another, and the Times has counted that in the new issue of the national team, the Red Rebels have a total of 9 players as the first captain of the team, and the vice captain is not counted, which suddenly made the Red Rebels a captain concentration camp.

Some media even jokingly said that if the Red Rebels continue to develop according to the current trend, they will probably be able to create a training course for national team captains in the future, just as they held a coach training course!

While the media generally paid attention to the Red Rebels, the club's official website announced a message for the first time.

Red Rebels fans are paying close attention to the legendary superstar Roy? Keane will officially take over the Black Cat Sunderland.

The Championship side, who were relegated from the Championship last season with a record record, are determined to return to the Premier League this season, so they did everything possible to invite Roy? Keane came in as head coach, and the latter didn't even have a coaching certificate.

"I used to jokingly tell my good friend Xiao Yu that I would be away from football for a year or two, and he also sent me an invitation to take up a coaching position at the Red Rebels and gain some coaching experience, but now it seems that I have to decline his kindness, because Sunderland is really sincere, and they even rushed to Portugal to contact me personally."

'Yes, Sunderland's Premier League record last season was not good but we all believe it was a good friend of mine and Sunderland's current chairman Quinn is a good friend of mine and he told me that Sunderland have a beautiful stadium and passionate fans and he wants me to give them the results they want.

"I have to take this opportunity, maybe it may not be a good result, but at least I proved that I worked hard, Xiao Yu and a lot of my friends also supported my decision, I have a lot of playing career, I have been mentored by a lot of great coaches, I think I can learn from them."

The official website of the Red Rebels immediately sent a congratulatory message to Keane and wished him a bright future for Sunderland, but then the Red Rebels had to focus all their attention on the Champions League group draw.

…………………… As the team that won the Champions League for the second time, the Red Rebels have been seeded for this year's Champions Cup, which also allows the Red Rebels to avoid the tragedy of being drawn in a group with Barcelona and other strong teams as they did last season.

The first eight teams in the Champions League this season are the Red Rebels, Barcelona, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Liverpool, and the Premier League teams have three teams seeded, including Manchester United, who were eliminated in the group stage last season, are still seeded with their previous points.

However, this was also due to the relegation of Juventus, who were stripped of the league title, relegated to the second division and naturally left the Champions Cup, which allowed United to move up the ladder or otherwise become a second-tier team.

After placing the eight teams in Pot 1 in eight groups, the Red Rebels were unlucky and were placed in Group H at the bottom, but some say that the group is always not strong, and Walsh can only hope for the draw.

The second team drawn in the same gear as Barcelona is Chelsea, which is also the second consecutive year that Barcelona has met a Premier League team, and it is still Chelsea, everyone is in an uproar, obviously excited about the first signing of this season's Champions Cup, but Laporta has a distressed face.

Chelsea's reach for the Champions League was thanks to UEFA's open side, and although Chelsea failed to win the trophy last season, UEFA finally decided to let Chelsea participate in the Champions League after discussions, but they had to play from the first round of qualifying.

With Chelsea's quality, the opponents in the qualifiers are indeed like chopping vegetables for them, so the Premier League powerhouse wielded that precious gem-encrusted kitchen knife all the way to the group stage and was also seeded for points, but Chelsea's presence has also become a landmine for the English team.

According to UEFA regulations, Chelsea will play from the qualifiers and will not have the principle of avoiding the same country after entering the group stage, which makes Liverpool, Manchester United and Red Rebels in the first pot, and Manchester City in the fourth pot likely to touch Chelsea, especially in the knockout round.

Some media even believe that it seems absurd to make an exception to allow Chelsea to participate in the Champions Cup, but in fact it has become a major unpredictable factor in this season's Champions Cup, and everyone is looking forward to what kind of draw combination the alternative Chelsea will bring.

Originally, everyone expected that it would be a Premier League derby, but no one expected that it would be Ronaldinho who would fight against his old boss, which undoubtedly brought huge suspense to this group, especially the two games between Chelsea and Barcelona, which attracted even more attention.

But judging by Laporta's expression, he seems to be unhappy with the draw.

Selling Ronaldinho put him under a lot of pressure, although the team paid off part of the debt, but the fans prefer to see the superstar perform, but now Ronaldinho has defected to the Premier League, not to mention, he has to face off against Barcelona, which has to be said to be a very embarrassing experience.

AC Milan drew Porto, Real Madrid drew Roma, Inter Milan drew PSV Eindhoven, Bayern drew Lyon, Manchester United drew Celtic, Liverpool drew Valencia and Red Rebels drew Lille.

It can be said that looking at the draw in the second gear, AC Milan, Manchester United and the Red Rebels drew well, avoiding the strong teams, not to mention the relatively weak team, which also made many people feel happy.

However, Walsh, as an experienced person, was very happy to draw Lille, but on the surface, he looked very calm, his face was not shocked, and he was very calm in his superiors.

The teams in the third draw were not strong, among which Barcelona in Group A drew the strongest Werder Bremen again, AC Milan drew Bordeaux in Group B, Real Madrid drew Steaua Bucharest in Group C, Inter Milan in Group D drew Sporting Lisbon, Bayern in Group E drew CSKA Moscow, Manchester United in Group F drew Benfica, Liverpool in Group G drew Olympiacos, and Red Rebels in Group H drew AEK Athens.

The eight teams in Pot 4 from Groups A to H are Dynamo Kyiv, Ajax, Galatasaray, Manchester City, Hamburg, Shakhtar Donetsk, Genke and Solyalevski.

Looking at the 8 groups, the Red Rebels are the weakest group, and Barcelona is the strongest in Group A, known as the group of death, among which even the fourth gear of the Kyiv Dynamo, although it has long since ceased to be at the peak of Shevchenko and Rebrov and others, but today's Kyiv Dynamo is still not a soft persimmon.

However, Laporta said in an interview with the media after the draw that Barcelona is not worried about the so-called group of death, and he believes that there is no problem with Barcelona's appearance, which is completely different from his worries about the draw.

However, Laporta's opinion has also been affirmed by professionals, Barcelona and Chelsea are better than the other teams in this group, and it is believed that the two teams will not have much problem together, as long as they beware of Bremen and the bad weather in Dynamo Kyiv.

On the other hand, the Red Rebels, which seem to be relaxed, are actually turbulent, Athens AEK, Lille, Sofia Levsky and other teams, not famous, it is easy to let the opponent relax, but in fact they all have strong strength, such as Sofia Levsky, this team can be said to be the weakest in the top 32, but do you know who their opponents are in the second and third rounds of the qualifying round?

Denmark's Copenhagen and Serie A's Chievo, both of which are now home to sell sweet potatoes, but Sofia Levski has reached the Champions League group stage, and what is even more surprising is that both teams were beaten home and away, which shows that Sofia Levski is not as weak as his reputation suggests.

As for Lille, the team that can win the Ligue 1 runner-up and almost threaten the Lyon champions, even if the reputation is weak, but his strength will be weak?

There are even many professionals who believe that if the Red Rebels think they have drawn a lottery, they are very wrong.

Unlike the other teams in the group, the other three teams in the Red Rebels' group are all Champions League newcomers or lesser-known teams, which tend to be the most upset.

Of course, by all accounts, the Red Rebels are the favourites to top Group H by all accounts.

AC Milan is in the most average group, Porto although it has long fallen, last season even handed over the Portuguese Super League title to Benfica, but they still have a certain strength, Bordeaux has been away from the Champions League for many years, but the strength should not be underestimated, it was the third place in Ligue 1 last season.

Isn't there a saying that a dog that bites doesn't bark!

In addition, Ajax's strength is relatively weak, after the departure of a number of powerful stars, the team has further rejuvenated, and the Red Rebels' four young players on loan at Ajax, Annan, Pato, Ganso and Hamsik have risen to become the main force of Star Factory, but it is not known how much strength these players can produce.

However, when the Red Rebels players went to the national team to play, when all the media began to pay attention to the national team game, the Premier League once again broke a big news.
