Chapter 706: Say Goodbye to the Champions League

Since 2000, even if we don't talk about the discoloration of the World Club Cup, it is almost a taboo language within the FA.

Presumably, if Notts County sends a second-tier team to participate in the Club World Cup, the FA will not have any indication. After all, England does not need to bid for the World Cup now, and there is no need to look at FIFA's face.

And if Notts County really sends a second-tier team to participate in the Club World Cup, presumably FIFA should be jumping on its feet. It is an international event that has been created so hard, but it is not valued by the club, especially the Champions League champion. An important bargaining chip, it is estimated that FIFA will cry to death.

It is estimated that no Champions League champion is willing to go to this tasteless event that costs people and money.

In the 2000 Club World Cup, Real Madrid missed many games and fell into the relegation zone when they returned to China, and Manchester United was not much better. It was slow to recover after returning to China, and finally only ranked fifth.

This is the rut in the past!

There is no need to consider these things for the time being. Anyway, it is FIFA who is anxious at that time.

After the physical reserve training, Notts County entered the technical and tactical training session. At the same time, the practice game also kicked off, and several clubs rushed to Notts County. Anyway, Notts County’s training base is large enough. The original training base is enough to accommodate 6 clubs to train at the same time, so for the other clubs, it is regarded as a zipper training.

"I hope we don't draw together when the Champions League group draws, otherwise it's really cannibalism!" Be Weilun chairman Peters joked.

"The two of us don't need to worry about meeting, but there is a chance that we will meet Notts County. I hope this will not happen!" Boavista chairman Pelorero also nodded in agreement.

Baggio smiled and shook his head: "In this case, you should pay attention. If someone hears it, the UEFA investigation team will definitely come down and investigate again!"

"Then let them investigate, anyway, they didn't investigate anything before!" Pieters shrugged and said in a very indifferent tone.

Then both of them pointed their finger at Baggio, "Robert, speaking of which, Brescia won't be able to play in the Champions League now. If all four of our teams can participate in the Champions League, it will be really exciting!"

Baggio shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he was speechless. If he wanted Brescia to play in the Champions League, even if everything went well, it would be two seasons later. Now Brescia's biggest goal is to return to Serie A. As for the rest, that's all It's the latter thing.

"Can you please take care of my feelings, the Champions League is no more!" Baggio wanted to bury his head under the table.

David and the other two burst into laughter.

"Okay, not the Champions League, but I do want to warn you, whether Be Weilun or Boavista can participate in the Champions League this season, it is also very attractive to the main players in the team, but considering that Due to the attractiveness of the Portuguese Super League and the Liga League, I am afraid that next season you will face a substantial loss of main players. After all, in front of the five major leagues, the Portuguese Super League and the Liga are just a springboard for the players, and it is difficult to retain one. There are excellent players, so you should continue to do a good job in talent reserve and training, don't really have no one available at that time!" David said with a straight face.

It is true that there are very good players in the first team of both clubs now. They already have the strength to gain a foothold in the five major league clubs. The reason why they can stay in the clubs this season is precisely because of the attractiveness of the Champions League, and waiting for this After the Champions League season is over, can they still want to go to a bigger platform?

Not to mention anything else, just a player who has been loaned to two clubs by Notts County, even if the player has a contract with Notts County, but when the player grows to a certain level, can he still keep the player and not let go?

This is clearly not realistic!

For clubs in second-tier leagues like the Portuguese Super League and the Bundesliga, even the hegemons in the league cannot escape the fate of losing players.

Therefore, for these clubs, the best way to develop is to work hard on youth training, work hard on training players, and continue to invest the income brought by the players after they mature and leave the team to continue to invest in basic training. It is guaranteed that even if there is a loss of personnel, it will not be hurt.

Pieters and Pelorero nodded in agreement, and they were very aware of this.

"I understand that some players are destined to develop on a larger platform, and we can't keep them, as long as we do a good job in the reserve work!"

"I'm not too worried about this. There are a lot of good seedlings in Bei Weilun's youth academy waiting for the opportunity, and they can fill in just when someone leaves. I am actually looking forward to the Champions League now, after all, it is the first in the history of the team. It’s the best time to participate in the Champions League, if it can pass the group stage!” Peters said indifferently, but then mentioned the Champions League, and his eyes lit up again.

Even though he participated in the UEFA Cup last season, Bei Weilun's European points are still pitiful, and he can only rank at the bottom of all the Champions League teams, so there is no doubt that Bei Weilun is definitely in the fourth pot in the draw. team.

Boavista Suri'an is slightly better than Bei Weilun, but he still failed to enter the third position, so in the draw, Bei Weilun and Boavista never met.

In David's opinion, the strength of the two teams is quite good. If the lottery is lucky, there may not be a possibility of a group appearing. Of course, if it is really drawn into the group of death, then there is no way!

And because Notts County won the Champions League, plus the two previous UEFA Cup championships, the points in the European war were brushed up at once. Although they did not rank in the top few, they were in the first position. There is no problem, so In the group stage, you can avoid most of the top giants!

Although he is not afraid of confronting the top giants, the group stage can easily appear. For Notts County, which has a dense schedule, it is still a good thing after all, why not?

"Let me think about the best result ha, all three of our teams appeared in groups, and then Notts County met Be Weilun in the round of 16, and they advanced easily, and in the round of 8, they met Boavista again. In this way, Notts County has entered the semi-finals without a fight, which is really ideal!" David joked exaggeratedly.

"Don't you think too well, do you think Notts County will win if they meet Bay Weilun?"

"That's right, it's too arrogant. If you really meet Notts County in the knockout round, Boavista will definitely not let Notts County have a better time!"

Peters and Pelorero seemed to be drinking too much, slapping the table and shouting with David.

"Agree not to talk about the Champions League!" Baggio stood up and interjected helplessly.

Then everyone laughed, with a magic that seemed to infect people...
