Chapter 931 Mr. Fang Jue Is a Gentle Gentleman! (The 5th More Begging for a Monthly Pass)
After Dennis Law successfully completed the task, the next person to be invited to the stage was the 1995 European Footballer of the Year Liberian superstar George Weah.
Weah recalled the past when he had just landed in European football from Africa, and expressed his gratitude to those who helped him start his brilliant career.
Weah will be in charge of drawing the second tier of teams.
When Weah drew Manchester City to Group D where Real Madrid is, there was a burst of wow.
Manchester City has signed a lot of signings in the past few seasons, and their performance has been rapid. Last season, they beat Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea and won the Premier League runner-up.
Group D already has Real Madrid and Manchester City, and this group has a high probability of becoming the group of death.
In fact, if Manchester City enters that group, any group has a great probability of becoming the group of death.
Weah drew the Bundesliga's Schalke 04 to Group B where Aston Villa is located.
This can only be said to be a lottery. Schalke 04 is relatively strong in the second tier of teams.
The guest in the third draw is Gullit, one of the Dutch Three Musketeers. He was the European Footballer of the Year in 1987. Gullit recalled his unforgettable experience in the Champions League final with Milan for the first time.
Then began the draw for the third tier.
The head coaches of many teams, including Fang Jue, have come up ahead of schedule.
There are Ajax, Paris Saint-Germain and Serie A champion Juventus in the third tier. Which team these three teams fall into will make the qualifying situation of this group very severe.
Greater Paris was assigned to Porto.
Juventus were assigned to Chelsea.
As for Ajax, they were placed in Group D where Real Madrid and Manchester City are located.
There was a lot of noise at the scene, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Ajax, even if you don't look at who the fourth-tier team is, this group is definitely a group of death.
Or it can be said that the fourth-tier teams just pray not to fall into this group, otherwise it will be quite 'comfortable'.
Olympiakos from the Greek league was drawn into Group B where Aston Villa are located.
Fang Jue smiled. He was in the same group as Schalke 04 and Olympiacos. He was satisfied with the results of the draw so far.
The guest responsible for drawing the fourth team is the famous Italian Cannavaro.
He was the European Footballer of the Year in 2006.
Cannavaro is one of the rare defensive players who won the Ballon d'Or. He talked about his defensive experience. He believes that the key to a central defender's defense is to appear in the right position at the right moment.
There are three teams in the fourth tier that are 'land mines', Borussia Dortmund from the Bundesliga, Malaga, a newly promoted local tycoon from the La Liga, and Montpellier, the defending champion of the Ligue 1.
The three teams falling into that group will complicate the situation of the group.
Fang Jue glanced at Real Madrid coach Mourinho, and thought maliciously in his heart, it would be best if Dortmund also went to Group D, then Real Madrid would feel better.
Then, Cannavaro assigned Malaga to AC Milan's group and Dortmund to Real Madrid's D group.
Fang Jue was very surprised, did he open his mouth?
Then I am a little proud, happy, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Ajax and Dortmund are in the same group, this is the real group of death!
Of course, Fang Jue doesn't think this will affect Real Madrid's qualifying group, but he is happy to be able to cause trouble for Real Madrid's qualifying.
Fang Jue still remembers that Aston Villa was eliminated by Real Madrid in the semi-finals last season.
Subsequently, Cannavaro drew Montpellier to Group B where Aston Villa is located.
Fang Jue sighed slightly in his heart. He most hoped that a team like Borisov or North Sealand would be drawn into this group. That would be the real gift package.
Why is Fang Jue sure that Aston Villa's signing luck will not be too bad?
Aston Villa was eliminated from the UEFA Champions League last season. It was a bit unfair. As a team that Platini admires very much, Platini will compensate more or less in the new season to show appeasement.
However, in a group with Schalke 04, Olympiacos and Montpellier, the result of the draw is quite good, and it can be regarded as a gift package.
Then, Fang Jue was even more amused when he saw Dortmund coach Klopp's face gloomy and dignified.
...
After the draw ceremony, Fang Jue was "surrounded and caught" by the reporters, and asked him to talk about his views on Aston Villa's group.
The reporter said that this is a sweet spree grouping.
Fang Jue immediately refuted this statement. He said solemnly: "We can't relax, the game will never be easy. On paper, we seem to be the strongest, but the Champions League will never be easy. There are strong players here. Every team has to be respected. Of course our goal is to advance to the next round."
The next day, many media praised Aston Villa coach Mr. Fang Jue as handsome, gentle and gentle.
Then, Fang Jue saw the words of French "L'Equipe" interviewing the head coach of Montpellier, the defending champion of Ligue 1, in the newspaper.
Perhaps in order to boost the morale of the team, Girard told the media:
Mr. Fang Jue is right. Although Aston Villa is the champion of the Premier League, we don’t need to be afraid. Montpellier is also the champion of Ligue 1.
For Montpellier, as long as we are ourselves, we can achieve fantastic results.
Team champion? Why not, we staged the miracle of the Ligue 1 title last season, we have the inertia to create great results.
Seeing this report, Fang felt unhappy.
Brother can say that he is not strong enough, but you can't.
Brother, that is modest!
Do you understand humility? !
Brother is really strong!
Brother is very angry when you talk like this.
...
Although Montpellier from the south coast of France is one of the founding teams of Ligue 1, it has not had much sense of presence before.
In the 2010/2011 season, this relegation team only ranked 14th, only 3 points higher than the relegation zone.
Last season's Ligue 1 saw a large number of new players on the offensive end. Hazard made his mark in Lille. In Montpellier, the 25-year-old Giroud played a key role in the team's counterattack.
Da Giroud scored 21 Ligue 1 goals this season and won the league Golden Boot.
Of course, for a small team like Montpellier, only one striker who turned out is not enough to push them to the championship.
Coach René Girard is considered to be the key to Montpellier's miracle. The coach was named the best coach in Ligue 1 last season.
In this matter, on the second day after returning to Montpellier from Monaco, Montpellier's training base.
In the head coach's office, Girard is chatting with his assistants.
Speaking of yesterday's interview, assistant coach Joe Harun asked worriedly, "René, will Fang Jue and Vera be upset if you talk like that?"
"No, Fang Jue is not that kind of stingy person." Girard waved his hand. He didn't say anything provocative. Those words were meant to boost the team's morale, and everyone knew that.
Another assistant coach also said, "As far as I know, that Mr. Fang Jue is a very polite, magnanimous, and very personable gentleman. He won't mind."
"That's right, Fang Jue said it himself, he's very humble."
"I've heard about this too." Someone echoed, "Have you read the previous column articles by David Copperfield, a reporter from L'Equipe, Copperfield admired Fang Jue very much, saying that he is a A real genius coach, suave, very gentleman."
