When the lottery guest George Weah drew the first-tier team Real Madrid and the fourth-tier team Dortmund into the same group, Jiya almost laughed out loud. Everyone knew that Dortmund, the Bundesliga champion, must be this fourth-tier team.
The big change in the Champions League this season was that it was given to Real Madrid. This is really...
Soon, Weah took out Ajax and threw it into this group. Now everyone knew that this group must be the group of death...
At this time, Ji Ya began to have some ominous premonitions.
"Damn it, you won't draw us into this group, right? No, logically speaking, Manchester City should be thrown into this death group..." Ji Ya was thinking in his mind.
Obviously, even Mancini thinks so, as can be seen from his nervous expression.
The next second-tier team was drawn by the Dutchman Ruud Gullit. When he was drawn into group D, everyone became quiet.
Group D is the group that already has Real Madrid, Ajax and Dortmund...
Gullit picked up a ball, opened it, and took out the note inside...
He looked at it and said something.
Ji Ya felt like a thunder struck the top of his head.
"Southampton." Gullit said calmly.
There was an uproar on the field, and Mancini turned to look at Ji Ya in surprise, with surprise and pride in his eyes—Has Manchester City finally gotten rid of the group of death?
In fact, this is also the case. Manchester City was then drawn into Group B. This group, whether it is Montpellier, Olympiacos or Schalke 04, can only be regarded as ordinary teams...
"Damn, this kind of group should be for me! UEFA, have you made a mistake? We Southampton are good people!"
Ji Ya shouted crazily in his heart, but his face remained calm, indicating that his current Qi-raising skills were pretty good.
Real Madrid led by Mourinho.
The old and powerful team Ajax.
Dortmund led by Klopp.
Dortmund defeated the Bundesliga champion last season and suppressed Bayern. Real Madrid, under the leadership of Mourinho, just scored an unprecedented 100 points, suppressed Barcelona and won the league championship. Ajax did not need
Said that they had just regained their glory and won the Eredivisie championship...
"So why do you want to throw us, a third-placed player in the Premier League, here? We should let Manchester City come! The champions of the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga and Eredivisie will fight against each other. How exciting! UEFA really won't arrange it!"
After the filming was over, Noriya complained to Ferguson, and Mancini, who was about to come over to comfort him, almost fell to the ground.
"I said, you entered the group of death and you want us to enter, isn't it too much? We at Manchester City were already in a miserable situation before!" Mancini said.
"I'm just saying, besides, don't you think having four champions in one group would be more of a gimmick?" Ji Ya said.
"That's true..." Mancini nodded unconsciously, and then he quickly realized: "What kind of gimmick is it? Do you think that we only make it to the Champions League group stage with so much investment every year?"
Ji Ya chuckled. At this time, he had actually calmed down. The results of the lottery were already out. What else could he do if he didn't accept it?
Besides, even if he is in the same group as these strong teams, Ji Ya still feels that his team is not incapable of fighting.
Real Madrid is very strong, and Dortmund is also very fierce, but we are not made of persimmons. It’s so easy!
Ajax:???Are you polite?
However, Noriya really wants to score more points against Ajax now. Fortunately, this group occupies a relatively advantageous position.
Of course, the idea is just an idea, whether it can be realized is another matter.
After leaving the hotel, reporters who got the news swarmed up and started asking Ji Ya what he thought...
"I don't have any thoughts. I thought about this day when I led the team to participate in the Champions League, and it is also very exciting. Putting us together with three league champion teams shows that UEFA believes that we are also a championship-level giant... This
Praise, we at Southampton accept it!"
Ji Ya kept chatting outside the hotel until the conversation was over before waving and leaving, which fully demonstrated the magnanimity of a head coach.
It wasn't until he got into the car with Benelli that Ji Ya wiped away the smile on his face.
"Damn it, UEFA is really disrespectful. I will have to retaliate severely if I have the opportunity in the future." Ji Ya said.
"UEFA is not afraid of retaliation..." Benelli said weakly.
"Yes, trouble, these guys just like to cause trouble, and you can't say that they are targeting me. There is no way, just keep fighting game after game, but in the next game, tell the players to play well for me,
Let everyone see what it means to be a European champion!" Ji Ya said.
Benelli silently mourned for Chelsea in his heart...
However, Chelsea theoretically does not need to observe silence. They have acquired Marin, Hazard and Oscar in the transfer market this summer. These are all young and outstanding attackers, especially Hazard. This Belgian player is favored by all media.
, he also showed an extremely good state.
But Noriya still feels that Chelsea's transfer this summer was very bad.
"They are actually very similar to Inter Milan two seasons ago. They are a group of veterans who, with the support of their spirit, have accomplished a huge miracle... But there are lessons learned from Inter Milan, but Chelsea did not learn from them. At that time, Inter Milan mainly
Because they have no money, Moratti has no money, so whether it is Mascherano or Kuyt, they have the opportunity to introduce them, but they have not introduced them because of money, so they can only continue to use veterans. Chelsea
The problem of aging of the main lineup is much more serious than that of Inter Milan, but although they bought three new players, they are all on the offensive line, and the defense line is obviously aging, but they still have not improved." Noriya said to Benelli.
explain.
"That's true, their midfielder and backfield are still the same people, Ivanovic, David Luiz, Terry, Ashley Cole, Lampard, Mikel..." Benali nodded.
"Another problem is the center. After Drogba left, they brought in attacking midfielders and wingers... Marin is outrageous. They already have Mata and Hazard, and they also brought in Marin.
Why? Is there an essential difference between Ramirez and Oscar? Their attacking midfielder and winger positions are already relatively young and outstanding, but they invest so much money here and look at the defense and center positions.
Indifferent, Di Matteo doesn't really expect Torres and Sturridge to play all the games..." Noriya continued to complain.
"What would you do if it were you?" Benelli asked.
"I'm too lazy to worry about it for them, but at least I can buy Giroud at a high price. The current Giroud is much more useful than Torres... Or I can compete with Lovren, at least he is much more reliable than David Luiz, and he is on the board.
Isn't Pele good? With him, Chelsea doesn't have to worry about the midfielder," said Noriya.
Benelli was speechless. After all, he still felt that Chelsea did not spend the money on Southampton...
