Football: After listening to the advice, I became the strongest free man! - Chapter 402

c402 The stage for top teams to compete!

This view is opposed.

Although the relative value of the Champions League is higher than that of the league (including the Premier League), it does not mean that the value of the Premier League championship is not high.

In the past two seasons, Guardiola’s team has been almost invincible in the league. In the 17-18 season, it scored an unprecedented 100 points, and in the 18-19 season, it also scored 98 points, which are the first and second highest scores in the history of the entire Premier League, and also made Liverpool the runner-up with the highest points in the five major leagues. Manchester City’s strength can be seen.

In the civil war of the traditional top six, Manchester City also performed very strongly.

Double kill Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United, 6-0 victory over Chelsea, 1 win and 1 draw against Liverpool, 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 10 “small leagues” and only lost 5 points, this record is excellent enough.

Therefore, for a coach who has created the highest score in the Premier League and refreshed various records, Guardiola’s Manchester City’s dominance in the league is unquestionable, and his championship is not easily won by playing 38 rounds of games.

As for the poor performance in the Champions League, I have said before that the Champions League is more difficult and there are many possibilities for accidents. If you win the championship, you are absolutely strong, but if you don’t win the championship, it doesn’t mean that you are not strong, and it doesn’t affect the gold content of the league itself.

In short, if you compare the relative gold content, I think the Champions League is greater than the Premier League.

But there is no need to compare Guardiola and Klopp excessively, especially it is unnecessary to step on one and praise the other. For fans, both of them are already very great coaches.

The Premier League is only the second league in the world, not as good as La Liga. The Premier League looks fierce, but in fact, it is not the best in Europe in terms of top strength.

The rise of Liverpool has covered up the assumption that the Premier League is not the top in European football.

The best teams in the world are in La Liga. Barcelona and Real Madrid may fall behind at some times, but in terms of foundation, they are far better than the Premier League.

And Bayern in the Bundesliga can threaten the Premier League strong teams from time to time.

The Premier League champion cannot be said to be inferior to the La Liga champion, but it cannot be said to surpass the Serie A champion and the Bundesliga champion.

In terms of international points statistics, the Premier League champions and goal points are on par with other top leagues.

Although Liverpool’s championship made a sensation in the football world, it was the first championship for this strong team in 30 years, so it was just a lively event, not a representative of gold content.

Of course, the gold content of the Champions League championship is not the first in Europe. Because the Champions League is too random, the favorites to win the championship are more likely to be eliminated, and there are dark horses every year.

For example, Tottenham and Ajax last season, Paris Saint-Germain, Leipzig Red Bull and Lyon this season.

Gold content depends on the winning process and opponents. The most gold content of the Champions League champion in history is Barcelona in 2015, because Barcelona defeated the champions of six leagues along the way.

Of course, some old fans also said that the Serie A championship in the “Little World Cup Era” was more valuable than the Champions League at that time, but we have to consider the background of the times. At that time, Serie A was known as the “Little World Cup”, and both large and small teams recruited the world’s top football superstars. At that time, the Champions League had not yet “expanded”, and basically both large and small leagues had only one league champion quota to participate in the Champions League, so the Champions League was more accidental (the dominant team in the small league also won the Champions League several times).

Therefore, it is said that “the intensity of the World Table Tennis Championships is not as intense as that of domestic table tennis competitions in my country”, but if it is the Champions League after the reform and expansion, then the gold content is actually higher than all leagues.

Although the current Premier League is very strong, it has not reached the level of “unique” like Serie A in the “Little World Cup Era”. No matter how fierce the competition in the Premier League is, it has not reached the level of “Little World Cup Serie A” where even the middle and lower teams have big-name stars.

The Champions League final (Liverpool vs. Tottenham) and the Europa League final (Chelsea vs. Arsenal) have both become “civil wars” between Premier League teams, which shows that the Premier League is indeed very competitive, but the problem is that the Premier League cannot guarantee such a scene every year. Maybe this year is the “Premier League civil war” in the Champions League, and some Premier League teams will be eliminated early next year?

Again, unless the Premier League teams can maintain the status of this season for several consecutive seasons, we have no reason to think that the Premier League championship is more valuable than the Champions League championship.

80% of professional football players in the world have no chance to win the World Cup in their lifetime for various reasons, so many players regard the Champions League trophy as the greatest honor they pursue in their lives!

Many big-name stars such as Sheva, Ibrahimovic, Drogba, Eto’o, etc. are all representatives of this type!

But then again, if this issue really happened last year, there might really be a team that would value the Premier League more than the Champions League and Premier League championships!

That’s Liverpool!

The Premier League title will always be Liverpool’s biggest pain. Even if they win the Champions League twice or three times, it is a shame that cannot be erased… The past is too painful to look back on… Of course, after winning the championship this year, these problems have disappeared!

From the promotion process, the Premier League requires 38 games, 1-2 games per week; the Champions League requires 13 games starting from the group stage, with a longer interval in between, and two games are completed within a week!

From the perspective of competitive opponents, there are 20 teams in the Premier League, with Manchester City and Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur as the first group. However, there is a saying that there are no weak teams in the Premier League, especially relegation teams. The more they play the role of giant killers in the second half of the league!

In the Champions League group stage, it is relatively easy for the five major leagues to play against other low-level teams. Generally, qualifying from the group is not a problem. The real test is in the knockout stage!

From the perspective of the success rate of winning consecutive championships, the previous Premier League champions have a situation of being far ahead of others, and can win the championship several rounds in advance. There are more opportunities for consecutive championships, and three consecutive championships have only occurred once;

There is absolutely no such thing as winning the Champions League in advance. After the reform, there are very few who can win the championship or more. Although Real Madrid has won three consecutive championships, it gave up early in the league!

From the point system, the Premier League and the Champions League group stage have the same point system. The Premier League is a long process, but as long as you win enough points, you can win the championship in advance. The Champions League enters the knockout stage with two games to decide the winner. A draw is won by more away goals. If there is no win in extra time, the winner will be decided by penalty kicks. The probability of accidental is relatively high, which is also the charm of football. The weak beats the strong, the few beat the many, and you don’t know what the outcome will be until the last second!

From the perspective of importance, the top four teams in the Premier League can qualify for the Champions League next season, while only the Champions League can qualify for the Champions League next season. From this perspective, the Champions League is more difficult!

Most teams often look at the league ranking and the Champions League ranking, and give up one!

From the perspective of excitement, the Manchester City derby has been much worse than before with the decline of Manchester United, and the London derby is unprecedentedly fierce, but compared with the Champions League, because of the knockout system, reversal dramas are often staged, and this year is the year of reversal in the Champions League!

From the current league rankings, Manchester City and Liverpool are leading the Premier League!

Liverpool and Tottenham will fight for the top of the Champions League!

Chelsea and Arsenal will meet in the Europa League final. The last round of the Premier League this season will start at 22:00 on May 12. Manchester City will definitely win and retain the Premier League with a 1-point advantage. Although they were eliminated by Tottenham in the Champions League quarterfinals, the Champions League and Europa League champions and runners-up this season were both won by Premier League teams in advance, which is unprecedented!

Manchester City can proudly say that I am still the overlord in the Premier League, because the Champions League and Europa League champions and runners-up are all behind me!

So from the perspective of the continuous investment in the Premier League in recent years, the gold content is no less than the Champions League!

This year is even better!

Traditionally speaking, the Champions League is an intercontinental duel formed by the top few teams in European leagues, and the overall strength of the group teams is much higher than that of their own leagues.

For example, Juventus will meet Chievo, which ranks last in the league, and in the Champions League group stage, its opponents are Manchester United, Valencia, and Swiss Youth Team. This unfamiliar youth team is actually the 2018 champion of the Swiss Super League.

Therefore, in the traditional sense, the strength of the Champions League teams is indeed higher than the overall strength of the national leagues, so the gold content is relatively much higher, which is equivalent to “selecting the best from the strong and the best from the best”!

That is because after the Champions League quarterfinals were produced, people found that there were 4 teams from the same league, that is, the Premier League!

And these two Premier League teams entered the finals!

The top 6 of the Premier League, except Chelsea and Arsenal who participated in the Europa League, the remaining four teams entered the quarterfinals, they are Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham!

Compared with the fierce battle of the Premier League this season, the 1/8 finals of the Champions League seem not heavy enough. For example, the battle between Porto and Liverpool seems a bit lacking in spirit. After all, Porto is not as good as any of the top 6 teams!

And Tottenham’s ability to enter the Champions League final has further reduced the level of the Champions League final. Compared with Manchester City vs. Liverpool, or Chelsea vs. Arsenal, Tottenham is still a little brother.

The English Premier League consists of 20 teams, including many great traditional teams, such as Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, etc., as well as local tycoons such as Chelsea and Manchester City, which are settled by Russian and Middle Eastern consortiums. Because the Premier League broadcast dividends are particularly high and the player salaries are also particularly high, it attracts many world-class players and coaches.

Because it is too rich, the Premier League can poach players from leagues all over the world, but it is difficult to poach good players in the Premier League. For example, although Bayern won the Champions League this year, the midfielder Thiago is leaving, and the next stop is Liverpool in the Premier League. Werner, who had previously reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, had already gone to Chelsea before the Champions League ended. This is the attraction of the Premier League.

Compared with other leagues, the competition for the Premier League championship is also the most exciting. Compared with the two-man show of Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga, the decline of Juventus in Serie A, the dominance of Bayern in the Bundesliga, and the world of local tycoons Paris in Ligue 1, the competition in the Premier League is the greatest. In recent years, with the rise of local tycoons such as Chelsea and Manchester City, the Premier League has long been more than just a competition between Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Even Leicester City can win the championship as a dark horse. The suspense of the Premier League is the greatest compared to other leagues. For a long time, the champion is decided in the last round or two rounds. For example, last year Liverpool scored 99 points and Manchester City scored 100 points. The final round decided the winner, which was wonderful.

Let’s take a look at the Champions League. Every year, there are 32 teams participating in the Champions League, including the top four teams in the four major European leagues, the top three teams in the French League, the Dutch League and the Portuguese Super League, the top two teams in the Turkish, Russian and Ukrainian Super Leagues, and other small country league champions.

It is a league composed of all the good teams in Europe. It is conceivable how difficult it is to win the championship in it. The Champions League is also the best league in the world. Its excitement and influence are comparable to the World Cup.

The Champions League champion is the highest honor for all European clubs. Real Madrid Club can be called the best team of the 20th century. The most important thing is that Real Madrid has achieved success in the Champions League, especially the first five consecutive championships, which are even more shocking!

In the early days of the Champions League, the champions of various leagues participated. In recent years, only the top four teams in some of the top-ranked leagues can participate. Many champions of the leagues with lower rankings need multiple rounds of qualifying and play-offs to enter the Champions League. The finals require a two-round group match and multiple two-round knockout matches, and finally the champion and runner-up are decided through the final. So the Champions League champion is the champion of champions.

As for the Premier League, it is currently ranked second in Europe and ranked first in previous years, but in any case, the Premier League champion is not as good as the Champions League champion.

In the Premier League, Liverpool has only won one Premier League championship, plus the previous English League One championship, the number is still not as good as Manchester United, but the experience of winning the Champions League six times makes Manchester United and other Premier League clubs difficult to match.

This determines Liverpool’s status as the first club in the Premier League!

Therefore, the Champions League championship has a high gold content!

Whether it is the Spanish King’s Cup or the English FA Cup, it is actually a “domestic cup” in nature, with specifications similar to our Chinese FA Cup. Some second-level or even third-level teams can participate in domestic cup competitions, while the “European Champions League” requires the top four teams in the league to be eligible to participate. Which one has a higher gold content?

Isn’t this a matter of judging who is better?

If you don’t consider the league ranking, even if you win the FA Cup or the King’s Cup, you can only participate in the Europa League, and you can’t even qualify for the Champions League (the Europa League champion can participate in the Champions League). How can it be more valuable than the Champions League?

The weight of the Champions League is getting heavier and heavier. It is not easy to win the Champions League. Almost all the top teams compete.

For example, Liverpool, the Champions League champion this year, defeated Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga overlord, Porto, the old Portuguese team, and Barcelona, ​​the La Liga champion in the knockout stage. It can be said that the Champions League is the most important in terms of technology and commercial value. The Champions League final every year is the highlight of UEFA, attracting fans from all over the world to watch.

To win the Champions League, you must have enough strength and luck.

The FA Cup and the King’s Cup are both domestic cup competitions in the UK and Spain, and both are participated by domestic teams. This is also a cup competition outside the league. Now the teams basically don’t pay much attention to such cup competitions. It’s tasteless and a pity to abandon them.

It is just a consolation for the team that may not win the league championship. Except for local fans, few people watch it unless you are a die-hard fan of the team or there is a fierce dialogue between the two teams.

The reason why Real Madrid has such a great influence is that it is the team that has won the most championships. Therefore, there are many fans around the world. In a sense, the influence of the Champions League is even greater than that of the World Cup. The Champions League is held every year, while the World Cup is held every four years.

The teams participating in the Champions League are the best teams in the world, the teams from the five major European leagues, and the participating teams have top players from all continents, such as this year’s Champions League champion Liverpool, forward player Mane is from Africa, Salah is from Egypt, and Firmano is from Brazil and South America.

The other lines are all top players from their respective countries, and they are also the main players or regulars of the national team!

In general, the Champions League is also called the Little World Cup, and its influence is unquestionable!

Bai Ran’s record on the court is very outstanding. He has scored more than 700 goals in his career and won numerous awards and honors, including 7 Golden Ball trophies, 4 Champions League titles and 10 La Liga titles.

He has also broken many records, including the record for most goals scored in a single season in the top five European leagues.

One of the most hotly debated topics in the football world is the comparison between Bai Ran and Ronaldo. While both players are undoubtedly among the greatest players of all time, their playing styles and achievements are different. Ronaldo is known for his physical fitness and goal-scoring ability, while Bai Ran is known for his ball skills and creativity.

In terms of achievements, Bai Ran has won more Ballon d’Or trophies and has a better record in international competitions.

On the other hand, Ronaldo has won more Champions League titles and scored more goals in the top five European leagues. Ultimately, the debate over who is the greatest player of all time will continue to rage on.

Bai Ran’s impact on the game of football cannot be overstated.

His unique style of play has inspired countless young players around the world, and his success has helped elevate the sport to new heights.

Bairan is also a passionate advocate for social justice and equality in the sport, using his platform to speak out against racism and discrimination in the sport.

As Bairan’s career continues to develop, it is clear that his place in the history of the game is secure.

His numerous achievements and records have solidified his place as one of the greatest players of all time, and his impact on the sport will be felt for generations to come.

Bairan is excellence, dedication, and a commitment to using his platform to make the world a better place.

In short, Bairan’s journey from obscurity to becoming a football legend is a testament to his exceptional talent and dedication to the sport.

His impact on the game of football is undeniable, and his place as the greatest player of all time is well deserved.

Bairan’s story is one of triumph over adversity, and his achievements on and off the pitch inspire football fans around the world.
