Chapter 581 First Experience of the Group of Death

Chapter 0581 Death Group First Experience
In 25, at [-]:[-] on August [-], the draw ceremony for the European Champions Cup group stage of the [-]-[-] season came as scheduled. Marotta, the general manager of the Notts County Club, was sitting in the fourth row on the left side seat.

The Italians are wearing a handmade suit and a red tie today, hoping that this festive color will bring some good luck to Notts County.

The handmade leather shoes staring at Marotta's feet were also wiped and polished in the hotel room, for fear of being contaminated with a little dust, which would affect the result of the lottery.

Giuseppe Marotta is not a superstitious person, but the results of Notts County's draw in the intercontinental competition seem to be not very good. Although Wei Xun did not come to participate in the draw ceremony in Monte Carlo, Monaco this time, Wei Xun Xun and everyone from the Notts County Club are in the club's fan hall, watching the live broadcast.

The power of oriental metaphysics, the old horse has to guard against!

Countless Notts County fans, as well as those who are concerned about the prospects of the Notts County Club, are bound to stare at the hands of the guests who drew the lottery.

Old Grant, who was sitting next to Wei Xun, drew countless crosses on his chest in just a few minutes, which made Wei Xun feel a little feudal and superstitious.

"Old Ge, the draw is not entirely based on luck. There must be something shady about it. However, they are now announcing the list of teams participating in this Champions Cup and their European points. Can't you just pray?"

"Of course not, things like lottery should be drawn as early as possible, unlike you, it will take a while for the medicine to take effect..."

Old Grant gave Wei Xun an angry look, clutching the cross in his hand, and continued to pray quietly.

"Uh, brother Tai, should we also find Guanyin Bodhisattva to burn incense and rescue him?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tai lost his temper instantly, and threw a chestnut on Wei Xun's head:
"Are you looking for Guanyin Bodhisattva to ask for a child? It is said that you are holding the Buddha's feet temporarily, so why don't you hurry to worship Buddha? What's the use of looking for Guanyin Bodhisattva? Besides, this is the West. Can Bodhisattvas and Buddhas be useful? Hurry up." , you go to church and beg Jesus and his parents..."

God Jesus, the Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit bless the Notts County Club...

Looking at the words announced on the big screen, Wei Xun felt that Notts County probably couldn't draw a good lottery. What kind of lottery can be considered a good lottery?
It was my first time to participate in the Champions League, and I accidentally fell into the fourth tier team. But after all, Notts County is the champion of the UEFA Cup and the Premier League. Came across Notts County.

Hoho, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Manchester United, Milan, Liverpool, Inter Milan, these are the eight top-seeded teams in this tournament, the so-called first-tier teams.

The teams in Pot [-] are Juventus, Ajax, Panathinaikos, Villarreal, PSV, Lyon, Chelsea, Porto, Juventus and Chelsea are the least would like to meet.

Countless people made predictions before the draw. One team from the first tier was randomly selected, plus Juventus or Chelsea in the second tier, and Notts County in the fourth tier, regardless of the ball in the third tier Whoever enters this group in the team is Chiguoguo's death group.

In fact, among the teams in the third tier, there are many strong teams like Werder Bremen and Schalke, but they are still not enough compared to the teams mentioned above.

Although Villarreal, Inter Milan, Werder Bremen, Red Devils Manchester United, and Ajax all broke through the qualifying rounds, no one underestimated their strength.

"Fuck, it's started, it's started..."

The lottery began, and eight first-tier teams were placed one after another. In fact, the first-tier team draw is the most interesting, because each group will have a relatively strong team to qualify, and the team with a higher European ranking The team is not fish belly.

Soon, several teams in the second tier also settled down, and a group of death has vaguely formed. The Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and the Serie A class bully Juventus are in the same group. They are both Premier League teams. Liverpool and Chelsea were also drawn together.

"Watfak?"

How can there be two teams from the same league in the Champions League group stage?
Wei Xun was also taken aback, what's going on?
He looked left and right, trying to find someone who could help him answer this question. Unfortunately, both Paratici and Marotta went to Monaco to draw lots. One was on the court and the other was off the court. They were the two most knowledgeable people.

Soon Wei Xun took out his mobile phone, and he tried to find the answer on the Internet. The Internet is really a magical place, which fully satisfied Wei Xun's curiosity and helped him find the answer:
UEFA President Johansson is a diehard Liverpool fan. He opened a wild card for Liverpool, but Liverpool need to participate in a qualifying round to enter the Champions League.

However, it is very coincidental that Liverpool's opponent in the qualifying round was the Welsh team that wanted to cede the Champions League qualification to Liverpool, TNS...

The top four teams in the Premier League are Notts County, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal. Liverpool, as a special case, is not a representative of the English League. It does not occupy the FA's participation quota, so naturally it cannot enjoy the same country's avoidance treatment.

Soon, several teams in the third tier were also drawn out one by one by the guests. Sparta Prague, Lille, Werder Bremen, Schalke, Olympiacos, Anderlecht, and Rangers came one after another. fall into their respective groups.

There were already some discordant voices in the venue. As a result of this draw, some were happy and some were sad. Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Club Brugge were drawn together. The faces of the general managers of the three clubs were all green.

The general managers of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Barcelona are smiling. As long as Notts County is not drawn into their group, they will be able to qualify even if they play with their eyes closed in the group stage this season.

Well, I'm not targeting anyone, I just want to say that the group I'm in, except for me, is rubbish...

Wei Xun is no longer so nervous. There are a total of eight groups. As long as they don't draw Bayern Munich, Juventus, Liverpool and Chelsea, and fall into the other six groups, Notts County should be able to qualify.

"20.00% probability of five, Brother Tai, don't worry, this is the same as doing multiple-choice questions, we are not so lucky..."

Wei Xun hadn't said the bad word, and saw a string of characters that Wei Xun didn't want to see displayed on the big screen. Notts County was actually drawn to Group A where Bayern Munich and Juventus are...

"Watfack!"

"WTF!"

"God, you'd better hurry up and get a pair of glasses!"

It's not enough to describe Wei Xun's mood at this time. Is what the UEFA gang doing is human?

The other seeded teams are all walks, so Bayern Munich, Juventus, Liverpool, Chelsea and Notts County will be sent to death. The Premier League suffers the most from the result of such a draw.

I thought that the five teams entering the Champions League would be the time to scramble for European points, but I didn't expect to encounter this blow. Chelsea and Liverpool were divided into the same group, and Notts County was thrown into the death group.

damn...

The officials of the FA began to curse people. It is said that the staff of the FA stayed up late that night to write the complaint report. When they were about to submit it the next day, they were woken up by a call from UEFA.

Juventus club vice chairman Bettega believes that his group is undoubtedly the most difficult death group in the history of the European Champions Cup.

"We have to get enough points against Club Brugge, it won't be easy to beat Bayern Munich and Notts County, last year we have to thank Buffon for some great saves to get us all in Bavaria. And back..."

"We want to win the Champions League, I dare say most of the fans want to win it and hopefully we will give them that. It's a very difficult task this time around, as we saw last season, mistakes made in a short period of time. The next mistake is enough to be fatal..."

This is the second consecutive year that Bayern Munich and Juventus have been in the same group. Last season, Juventus defeated Bayern Munich with two [-]-[-]s and won the right to qualify ahead of schedule. However, Bayern Munich's strength has not increased this season. Minus, Capello said he will not take it lightly:
"Bayern Munich and Notts County are very tough opponents. We can only do our best to strive for better results. This is a team full of death, but everyone does not want to participate in the UEFA Cup..."

Coincidentally, Milan drew last season's semi-final opponent PSV Eindhoven. Milan vice-chairman Galliani said:
"It's a very balanced group, Istanbul is our destiny. Eindhoven are champions of the Netherlands, but they haven't changed much. We have to play at a high level from the start if we want to qualify..."

Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti also admitted that his team did not draw the best pick:
"The other teams in our group are relatively average, which may cause us some problems. We are a very good team and we are ready to be the leaders of the Champions League. Our goal is to qualify as soon as possible. ..."
