Chapter 24 League Cup Grouping

The next day, the special correspondent of the Mirror Sports Edition gave this comment to this game. "Well... In a sense, this Manchester City team is a very good team now. They are playing very beautiful offensive football. After showing people their outstanding defensive ability in the last game against Manchester United, their gorgeous short passes almost dazzled the audience on the scene. The Manchester City team, which was mediocre in the game and scored goals by individual stars, disappeared; however, they seemed to be stunned by their own progress. You must know that they have just changed the old habit of being strong in attack and weak in defense after buying three players. They are still far from being a real strong team, and their head coaches and players seem to be a little proud. …………….”

In the office, Huang Long looked at the major newspapers' evaluation of his team. Originally, after defeating Manchester United, he thought it was very easy to be a head coach, but the draw in the last game brought him a great touch. In addition to targeted tactical arrangements and understanding of his players, there are still many things waiting for him to do, such as how to keep the players mentally not underestimate their opponents while maintaining high fighting spirit when facing a weak team. And how to make players not afraid of their opponents and perform their due level when facing a strong team, all these need him to learn.

While thinking, Fowler was very surprised that Fowler actually came to take responsibility for the initiative. This may mean that Fowler had at least regarded himself as a friend. He secretly felt glad that he had taken responsibility for the fight a few days ago and the failure to win the game yesterday. Since Fowler quickly comforted Fowler, don’t he hate you very much?"

Hearing Huang Long say this, Fowler (robbie fobsp;    Huang Long waved his hand and said, "Forget it, arrange the team first. We can be friends off the court, but you must be serious on the court; it's better to hehe." He said, and punched Fowler (robbie fobsp;     The manager in charge of the club's daily affairs came in and said to Huang Long: "Mr. Chairman, the group draw of the League Cup will be held the day after tomorrow. Do you need to participate in it in person? By the way, this is the specific rules of the League Cup game." He said that.

Huang Long glanced casually, almost the same as what he knew before, and replied on the table: "Forget it, I won't go, just send someone."

After everyone was out, he called Raidisia Caster's cell phone with the phone: "Hello, I am Huanglong, your friend's affairs have been successfully resolved, oh, you already know; by the way, do you still remember the thing I said last time that gave your friend the chance? Well, can you have more friends in the modeling industry?"

After the other party asked, Huang Long said mysteriously: "Just make an appointment with someone, haha, don't worry about public events, it will be beneficial to everyone. Well, that's it. I'll call you when the next game is over."

He put down the phone and said to himself: "League Cup, maybe I should see who is in the right state. It seems that it is necessary to implement a rotation system in the two-line battle. The FA Cup, League Cup and other things can only give up. Damn, when I have the money to get him a few main lineups, one game and one lineup, and win all the games together!"

Walking to the training ground, he announced loudly to the players: "The next game is over, if we can win, I will give you a surprise.

A burst of laughter suddenly sounded on the training ground, and Trevor sinclair screamed strangely: "It's not that I have prepared a girl for each of us." His words caused a louder burst of laughter, and the players became more and more diligent in the midst of laughter.

Pierce walked up to him and said, "Haha, you haven't been here for a long time, but the players are very impressed by you. When I was the head coach, they never worked so hard in training." Now Huang Long feels that he has a little bit of a sense of the fun of a coach. Of course, a coach who is basically impossible to get out of class should be without any pain.

Two days later, news of the League Cup grouping came from Switzerland. The specific lottery results are as follows:

Group a: Feyenoord, Paris Saint-Germain, Basel, Harz, Scotland, and Ferencvarosi, Hungary.

Group b: Udinese, Besiktas, Bilbao, Bucharest Star, Standard Liege.

Group c: Bruges, Mallorca, Utrecht, Denipro, Ukraine, Vienna Fast.

Group d: Manchester City, Benfica, Hertha Berlin, Panasinacos, Greece, and Dinamo Tbilis, Georgia.

Group e: Inter Milan, Villarreal, Middlesbrough, Belgrade guerrilla, Greece Igareo.

Group f: Glasgow Wanderers, Ausselle, Austria Grazak, Poland Floniki Amika, Ajax

Group g: Stuttgart, Dinamo Zagreb, Helenfin, Rome, Belgium.

Group h: Athens Aek, Lille, Sevilla, Werder Bremen, St. Petersburg, Russia.

This draw is very complicated. Not only does it have different groups with the association team, but other factors must be taken into account, such as conflicts in the use of the stadium and the limitations of climate conditions (some Nordic countries must avoid the severe cold weather in mid-December). Therefore, the draw is handed over to the computer and the situation is decided. The group stage is only a single cycle, with each team playing 2 home games and 2 away games. The 5 match days are: October 21, November 4, November 25, December 1/2, December 15/16. The top 3 teams in each group and 8 teams in the Champions League group stage will enter the League Cup knockout round. The final will be held at San Siro Stadium in AC Milan, Italy on May 18 next year.

When Huang Long saw this grouping form in the office, he immediately cursed: "Damn, I'm so lucky. I'm actually separated with Benfica and Hertha Berlin!" Pierce next to him smiled helplessly: "Satisfied, we should be glad that we were not in the same group as Inter Milan."
