Napoli threatens Real, Granada falls into a sharp group and Villarreal has to do kilometers

Real Sociedad will have the greatest danger from Napoli, a champion already of the competition, in a group F of the Europa League that appears affordable, while the debutant Granada will face apparently more complicated rivals, in the E, than to Those who will have to measure a Villarreal by Unai Emery who apparently was accompanied by luck in the group composition draw, which was held in Nyon (Switzerland), for a phase that will be played from October 22 to December 10, next,

Naples, Az Alkmaar and Rijeka, are the rivals of Real Sociedad, undoubtedly the Neapolitan team of Gennaro Gattuso stands out, who happens to be one of the main favorites to win the competition.

Something that he already achieved in the 1988-89 campaign, when it was called the UEFA Cup, and its great star was the Argentine Diego Armando Maradona, who gave the decisive assistance for Ciro Ferrara, curiously who this Friday took the balls in the draw , will score the goal that gave him the title.

After the 'bad drink' of the very competitive Naples, which this summer broke its piggy bank with the signing of Nigerian forward

, the most expensive of the club, and who continues with Spanish blood in the figures of

and

, although this It is not yet known if he will continue, of the Mexican

and the Colombian David Ospina, two teams much less fearsome await Real Sociedad.

The Dutch Az Alkmaar, despite being a UEFA finalist in the 1980-81 campaign, seems very within reach of the San Sebastian team;

and even more so,

, who had been Real Madrid's rival for many years.

The

has seemingly more complicated in Group E with the presence of the

, champion in 1978,

, arriving to leave in the lurch Benfica and

in the struggle to get into the Champions League;

and a fellow debutant

Cypriot who happens to be the Cinderella of the group.

The Andalusian team does not have a favorite rival to the title, but there are fighting teams.

Villarreal seems to have had much more fortune than an Emery who already knows what it is to conquer the competition, and three times, in his Sevilla era.

In group I,

will be measured

, a bad memory for Atlético de Madrid,

Tel Aviv and the Turkish

.

All apparently inferior to the Spanish team, which, yes, will have the heaviness of facing trips of many hours and, curiously, to places geographically located in the Asian area.

Villarreal, in addition, will be very expectant of the recent war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which may motivate that the foreign duel against Qarabag can be played on neutral ground.

The group of death

According to the result of the draw, the group 'of death' seems to be H, with Celtic, Spartak Prague, Milan and Lille.

Equality, although with Milanese favoritism, despite the fact that it required marathon penalties to pass (24), and with the good incorporation of

, makes it possible to bet on some surprises.

In A, Roma can take a walk against Young Boys, Cluj and CSKA Sofía;

at B, Arteta's Arsenal can do the same against Rapid Vienna, Molde and Dundalk.

In both groups, the fight for second place that gives access to the next round appears very open.

Balanced seems the C, with Bayer Leverkusen, Slavia Prague, Hapoel and Nice;

like K, with CSKA Moscow, Dinamo Zagreb, Feyenoord and Wolfsberg, certainly the least attractive of all.

Also the L, with Ghent, Red Star, Hoffenheim, Liberec.

Rookie

in G (Braga, AEK Athens and Zorya), and

José Mourinho's

in J (Ludogorets, Lask and Antwerp) were

very favorites

.

While Benfica seems to suffer, in D, with Standard Liege, Rangers and Lech Poznan.
