"Now that Real Madrid and Barcelona have won, all eyes are on Santander, and Ibiza's away game against Racing Santander is the last game of the round."

"The highlight of the 16th round of the league is obviously the match between Ibiza and Racing Santander. Yes, the latest match is the grand finale." Spanish national television is broadcasting sports news, the beautiful anchor Sara Capone Luo bared his white teeth, "Varela broke the deadlock for Racing Santander in the 51st minute of the game. After that, Ibiza coach Fang Jue replaced Aubameyang and Mata one after another. The home team once formed a siege against Racing Santander, until the 80th minute, the score was still 1:0 ahead of Racing Santander..."

"Just when everyone thought that Ibiza was going to go downhill after being tied by Numancia in the last round, and at the same time the undefeated golden status was about to be broken, the young people in Ibiza broke out, Fang Jue's replacement The result was achieved. Mata, who came off the bench, made a cross from the side. Lewandowski overpowered Garay and scored with a header. Then Lewandowski assisted in stoppage time.

"Ibiza ended all their games in 2008 with a thrilling reversal victory. This year was great and magical for Ibiza! They won the Copa del Rey as champions of the Spanish League. They successfully promoted to La Liga as the champions of La Liga. The club became the first time in 54 years to enter La Liga... Before the start of this season, Ibiza doubled Real Madrid in two rounds , Won the Spanish Super Cup, this is their third championship trophy this year, and after the start of the league, this newly promoted small team that played La Liga for the first time in 54 years shocked the whole of Spain, When the winter break came, they were ahead of the second-ranked Barcelona and topped the league table. The game record proved that they were able to rank the top of the league. It was definitely not just luck. A 7-2 victory over Valencia, a 6-2 home victory over Barcelona in the ninth round of the league, a 3-1 away victory over Real Madrid in the tenth round of the league... In fact, from the seventh round of the league, Ibiza has been on the board Since becoming the leader of the league on October 19th, they have never given up the top spot, even Real Madrid and Barcelona have not been able to shake their position!"

"...it's been a great year for Ibiza, and for their head coach, Mr. Fang Jue, it can be said that he continues his great achievements. This young and handsome Chinese coach is He made his official debut in January two years ago, and in only half a season, he led the vice squad leader of the West Division B League all the way to the promotion play-offs. Then in the La Liga season, he was promoted to La Liga as a newly promoted team, won the Copa del Rey, and then the Spanish Super Cup, and is now unbeaten in 16 rounds, and reached the knockout round of the UEFA Cup... so The outstanding coaching performance is amazing, and it is hard to imagine that such a young head coach can achieve such outstanding achievements."

Regardless of whether the media like Fang Jue or not, at this moment, they all sincerely or have to "pretend to be sincere" to send praises to him and sing praises for him.

Not convinced?

Look at Barcelona and Real Madrid who are crushed by his team!

Just when the media were singing the praises of Fang Jue, Fang Jue had already left Ibiza. He set off for Nyon, Switzerland, where the UEFA headquarters is located, to attend the group draw ceremony for the 2008/2009 UEFA Cup knockout round of 32. .

Four days ago, the UEFA Cup group stage ended. The 24 teams that qualified from the group stage and the eight third-team teams that were 'relegated' from the UEFA Champions Cup group stage formed the top 32 teams and entered the UEFA Cup knockout stage.

Ibiza had preferred to rotate in the league before, and was eventually tied by Numancia, and also to ensure that they beat Saint-Etienne in an away game in France to ensure the first place in the UEFA Cup group, just to be in the top 32. Get a good lottery in the knockout group draw.

This is because the rules for the group draw of the top 32 are that the first team in the group stage will face the third place in each group, and the second place in the group will face the third place in each group in the Champions League.

In this case, Ibiza won the first place in Group G, not to mention the strength of the third place in the other groups drawn, at least avoiding the third place in the eight powerful European Champions Cup groups.

Take a look at the third-place teams in the eight groups that were 'relegated' from the UEFA Champions League to the top 32 of the UEFA Cup:

Ligue 1 giants Bordeaux, Bundesliga giants Werder Bremen, Ukrainian Super League giants Shakhtar Donetsk, French giants Marseille, Danish Super League team Aalborg, Serie A giants Fiorentina, Ukrainian Super League giants Dynamo Kyiv and Zenit St. Petersburg, local tyrants of the Russian Super League.

kindness?

Aalborg?

Fang Jue sighed, it would be nice to be able to draw such a team, which is even better than some third-ranked teams in other UEFA Cup groups.

In fact, among the third teams in the UEFA Cup group, there are also some teams that should not appear in the "third echelon", such as Paris Saint-Germain in French League One, Olympiacos in the Greek League, and Sampdoria in Serie A. Doria, Premier League powerhouse Aston Villa and so on.

Huh?
