Chapter 655: Group of Death

"Hi, Miss Lahiri!"

When Charlene Lahiri walked into the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monaco together with Stephen Howard, the chief reporter of The Sun, someone immediately shouted to stop them. ＋◆Follow＋◆Dream＋◆Small＋◆Say, -Uncle Haha-

Charlene Lahiri, who was dressed in a black and white OL professional suit, turned around, only to find that two black-haired and yellow-skinned oriental men called her. One of them should be around forty, and the other is less than thirty years old. .

The one who called out to stop them was the young man in his twenties, slightly fat, with short hair, and wearing a straight suit.

Seeing this person on the first day of Chuchu, Charlene Lahiri felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember who it was, so she frowned slightly.

"Excuse me, are you..."

The chubby young man was not recognized, and he seemed a little embarrassed. He scratched his head, "Miss Laherie, have you forgotten? Not long ago in Southampton, we just met and we need to cooperate, remember?"

As soon as he said that, Charlene Lahiri immediately remembered.

"Oh, you are Mr. Qiu who knows how to play football!"

Qiu Zaifei was even more embarrassed this time, are all European and American girls so straightforward?

"Yes, Miss Lahiri, I didn't expect to see you here!"

Charlene Lahiri and Stephen Howard glanced at each other, both smiling secretly.

They are all journalist guests invited by UEFA, and they voted for the best player of the European season tonight. How could they not be there?

But out of politeness, they will definitely not say these things.

"Miss Lahiri, let me introduce you. This is the editor-in-chief of the most authoritative sports newspaper in our country, Mr. Luo Mingluo. Their newspapers and magazines are cooperating with us!"

"Hello, Mr. Luo!"

"Hello, Miss Lahiri!" The middle-aged man Luo Ming hurriedly shook hands with Charlene Lahiri politely.

Others may not know it, but he knows it better than anyone else. Charlene Lahiri is currently the hottest top celebrity in the UK and even in Europe, and the person who is walking with her has a lot of background.

"If I am not mistaken,

This should be Mr. Howard from The Sun! "

Stephen Howard was a little surprised. He didn't expect to be recognized by someone. He nodded with a smile, and then was polite again.

"By the way, Mr. Qiu, aren't you planning to find some famous columnists to cooperate with and translate their articles into your application software?" Charlene Lahiri suddenly thought of it.

"Well, yes!" Qiu Zaifei nodded.

"Then, Stephen is the most famous columnist in the UK, much more famous than Martin Samuel and others who often translate in your country, and his articles are very sharp and insightful!"

Luo Ming was surprised when he heard it. This Stephen Howard is the chief reporter of The Sun, and his column is indeed quite famous. Their newspaper had considered reprinting it before, but the other party didn't even pay attention to it.

Will it now be authorized to the newly launched new app, Knowing the Ball?

Unexpectedly, what happened next almost made Luo Ming's jaw drop in shock.

"Charlene, is this the new project invested by Master Huan that you mentioned before?" Stephen Howard asked with a smile.

"Yes, my column has been exclusively licensed to them, and I also helped them contact several famous European figures, such as Cruyff, Alfredo Reilano, and Jose La' Columns by Mon' de la Morena et al."

Luo Ming was immediately dumbfounded!

It goes without saying who Cruyff is. His column is reprinted and translated by all domestic media.

As for Alfredo Reilano, this person is not well-known, even completely unfamiliar, but his identity is the editor-in-chief of Aspen, and he has appeared in many newspapers such as Marca, Mundo Deportivo, National and Searle Radio. Worked in newspapers and media, and has been engaged in football for more than 30 years.

The columns he writes every day in Aspen are listed on the front page. The audience in Spain is very amazing, and they are often accompanied by fierce news and exclusive inside information.

As for Jose Ra'mon' de la Morena, a well-known personality in Radio Searle, who is known as the number one person in the Spanish media, there is no need to say more about his influence. Once he speaks, he will not Wrong authoritative whistleblower.

Luo Ming knew that under the investment of Yang Huan, the Emperor of the Ball had aroused huge repercussions in the domestic football fan circle as soon as it was launched, but he didn't know that their ambitions were so great that they contacted so many European players. Famous.

"You have contacted so many people, I should be the only one missing, right?" Stephen Howard said with a smile.

Charlene Lahiri pouted, "He must authorize your column by name!"

Stephen Howard was taken aback when he heard that, and shook his head with a wry smile, "Okay, since Master Huan ordered the general, then I agree!"

Luo Ming was shocked again. He really didn't expect that Young Master Yang Huan still has such influence in the European media circle.

Just at this time, they saw a movement coming from the gate, and everyone turned their heads to look.

I saw the smiling Yang Huan walking into the venue side by side with UEFA President Michel Platini. Along the way, you can hear the shouts of Master Huan. It seems that Master Huan is more popular than Platini. much spoiled.

"Master Huan!" Qiu Zaifei shouted excitedly when he saw Yang Huan approaching.

Yang Huan nodded and smiled at them, and after saying hello, he hurried past them.

In the end, under the attention of everyone in the audience, Yang Huan sat in the front row with Platini. The relationship between the two seemed to be very close. After sitting down, they whispered to each other from time to time.

Charlene Lahiri and Stephen Howard sat in the media area, while Qiu Zaifei and Luo Ming could only sit in the back row.

"Unexpectedly, this Young Master Huan has such a wide network of contacts in Europe!" Luo Ming was a little surprised.

Qiu Zaifei also felt honored, raised his head and nodded with a "chest" and said: "That is, our Master Jiahuan is in European football, and they are all big figures who can cause earthquakes by stomping their feet. Anyone who sees it is welcome ?”

If before, Luo Ming would definitely be against it, but now, he really believes it a little bit.

The circle of European football is said to be closed, and it is indeed very closed, full of a lot of traditional rules such as ranking seniority.

Therefore, it is as difficult as climbing to the top of the pyramid from an outsider.

Otherwise, with the connections, resources and financial resources of Abramovich and others, why have they not been able to 'mix' into the inner circle after so many years, and still become the core circles including Platini, Florentino, Ronaldo and others? What about the local tyrants and nouveau riche that Searle and others look down upon?

Therefore, it seems that it is really not easy for Master Huan to be able to 'mix' to his current status and influence!

As for some people in China saying that he is a spendthrift rich second generation, that's even more ridiculous!

If a rich second generation who only knows how to 'spend' money can 'mix' enough to hang shoulders with UEFA President Michel Platini, then UEFA is too worthless.

But what surprised Luo Ming even more was the 'drawing' ceremony that followed.

Although Southampton won the Europa League championship and counterattacked Manchester United, as a newly promoted team, won the Premier League championship, but the team's top star Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still the best player of the season in Europe In the selection, there was no surprise that he lost to Cristiano Ronaldo.

This is not surprising at all, because Real Madrid won the Champions League last season, so it is natural for Cristiano Ronaldo to win the European Player of the Season.

But in the subsequent 'drawing' ceremony, Southampton took advantage of it.

As a newcomer to the UEFA Champions League, the Saints have won the UEFA Europa League for two consecutive seasons, accumulating a total of more than 60 points in the European war, which makes Southampton rank in the Champions League group. into third gear.

Ever since, the other powerful European powers were scared to pee!

Needless to say the strength of the teams in the first tier, the teams in the second tier also gathered Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille, Milan and other super-strength teams.

But in the third tier, there are still difficult teams like Manchester City, Leverkusen, Southampton, and Dortmund. Tell me, can the teams in the top two tiers not be afraid?

As for the fourth tier, Real Sociedad and Naples are also teams with superior strength, which is scary when you think about it.

If one is not careful, it may be a group of death!

But in the end, the result of the "drawing" was really scary, and there was indeed a group of death, but it was not Southampton or Atletico Madrid.

Southampton is the team in the third tier, the team in the first tier is Porto in the Portuguese Super League, the team in the second tier is Zenit St. Petersburg, and the team in the fourth tier is Austria Vienna.

The result of this 'draw' is quite satisfactory, especially for Southampton, which is a team in the third tier, who can avoid the top two tiers. Porto and Zenit St. Petersburg were drawn, and the signing luck is not bad.

But Atletico Madrid's luck in the draw is obviously better.

As the team in the first tier, Atletico Madrid's opponents in the "drawing" are Schalke 04, Basel and Steaua Bucharest, which can be said to be the luckiest result among all the teams.

Relatively speaking, Arsenal's luck is sad. As the first team, the Gunners' opponents in the 'drawing' are Marseille, Dortmund and Naples, all of which are strong teams in the other three tiers. Called the Group of Death.

Manchester United's luck was not ideal either, they were "drawn" by Shakhtar Donetsk, Leverkusen and Real Sociedad, and the situation was quite unfavorable.

As for Manchester City, as a team in the third tier, Manchester City is not bad luck, encountering Bayern Munich, CSKA Moscow and Pilsen Victory.

In terms of strength, as long as Manchester City performs normally, the possibility of qualifying in the group is quite high.

As soon as the results of the 'draw' came out, the entire Grimaldi Convention Center was in an uproar.

Everyone exclaimed, and everyone's expression was completely different.

Some are secretly happy about their team's good luck in the lottery, while others are beating their chests and stamping their feet, feeling very depressed about their bad luck in the lottery, and some people are simply Came here to make soy sauce, but gloated at some people's situation.

In short, in the Grimaldi Conference Center, you can find all kinds of people and expressions.

Atlético de Madrid won the best lottery in the game, Soriano breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately raised his head, raised his chest, and shrunk his abdomen, obviously against the "bed" single legion from the group Standing out from the competition is full of confidence.

And this often represents unceasing money and interests!

As for Southampton, luck is also quite good, Peter Kenyon is also in a good mood, Yang Huan glanced at Platini meaningfully, the latter smiled tacitly, and said nothing more up.

After the lottery ceremony was over, Yang Huan didn't stay in the Grimaldi Conference Center for a long time, so he couldn't get cheap and act good, right?

However, he can completely foresee that tomorrow, after the whole world knows the result of the 'drawing', the voice of 'conspiracy' theory will definitely emerge again. By that time, I don't know how many people will be envious of Southampton Hate it!

In fact, everything went as Yang Huan expected.

The next day, almost all the media around the world were hyping the results of the 'draw' for the UEFA Champions League group stage.

But there was one thing that Yang Huan didn't expect!
