Champions League draw Question, why is there a second draw for the Champions League

Although the official statement of the Inter Milan players in the interview is "Chelsea is very strong, but there is no weak team in the Champions League round of 16", but in fact, everyone knows that there are still strong and weak in the round of 16, and Chelsea and Barcelona are the two favorites most optimistic about William Hill Gambling Company.

To make a worst-case scenario, if Inter Milan is eliminated by Chelsea in the 1 8 finals, then what awaits coach Mourinho is likely to be the next class after the season, because he has not entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League for two consecutive years, it is Moratti who has been invited to Mourinho with a high salary and hopes to do a big job in the Champions League is unacceptable, but if he was eliminated by the Champions League runner-up in the first year and one of the two top favorites in the Champions League in the second year, Mourinho can only blame his bad luck.

But in fact, before coming to Inter Milan, Mourinho's luck was already so bad!

When Mourinho was first invited, Moratti saw the Portuguese's results, but did not seem to pay attention to his signing in the Champions League, Barcelona is recognized as the strongest team in Europe in recent years, but since the 04 05 season, Mourinho has met Barcelona three times in three consecutive seasons! In Inter Milan, Mourinho has encountered Manchester United, Barcelona, and Chelsea in two consecutive seasons! In the 1 8 finals, from the 04 05 season to Barcelona, the 05 06 season was still Barcelona, the 06 07 season was a little better, and met Porto, but that season Chelsea and Barcelona were in the same group, and it was all their own efforts to fight for the first place in the group and gain the advantage of signing.

After arriving at Inter Milan, Mourinho has met Manchester United, Chelsea for two consecutive seasons and Barcelona in the group stage this season.

Looking at Chelsea after Mourinho left, in the 07 08 season, Grant drew Olympiacos, and in the 08 09 season, he drew Juventus, who had just returned to the Champions League.

In fact, even if Mancini has gone further than Mourinho last season in the Champions League a few times, there is not much to say 06 Draw Porto and Ajax in the two seasons, Mourinho has not had such luck in two seasons. As soon as Mourinho arrived, Inter's luck was immediately sinister, is it just a coincidence?

This is reminiscent of Mourinho's clash with UEFA in the 04 05 season against Barcelona, when his accusations against Swedish referee Frisker led to the latter's retirement, which led to a debate between UEFA and Mourinho, and the bad luck seems to have started at that time, the following season, Friske's friend Hauge officiated Chelsea's match against Barcelona and gave Del Orno a controversial red card in the first half, and every season since, Chelsea are all doomed, Mourinho left, Chelsea came and went, but bad luck followed to Inter Milan ......I don't know if it's true or not, a simple coincidence.

It's hard to say, but it's very likely that Platini's policy is to support the weaker teams, because the small countries helped him a lot in the UEFA presidency race, so there will be a strong dialogue. The top 8 were also drawn.

The home-and-away system is adopted for fairness, and then for the purpose of adding excitement.

Draw Details The teams will be divided into 8 groups of 4 teams each. The performance of the giants in Europe over the past five years is the benchmark for this grouping.

2. The eight seeded teams will be placed in eight groups in turn, and each team cannot meet teams of the same grade or be placed in a group with teams from the same country.

If there are four teams, they will be paired in pairs.

4. In order to ensure that different teams from the same country stagger the playing time, the eight groups will be distinguished by color: red for groups A-D and blue for groups E-H. Once one of the two teams is drawn, he will be placed in the red zone; The other team will go to the blue zone.

5. The order of home and away matches will be decided after the draw is completed.
