Chapter 40 The Bad Hand Benari

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!

After the Europa League enters the top 16, the brutal knockout round is about to begin.

The Europa League group stage and the knockout stage are completely two levels.

The intensity of competition in the group stage is not great, and after entering the knockout stage, the strong teams in each group stand out, and the eight teams eliminated from the Champions League compete with the second place in the Europa League for the remaining eight places.

It can be said that from the group stage to the knockout stage, the intensity has increased several levels in an instant.

In the analysis of the media, the seeded teams have also undergone major changes.

Red Factory in the Premier League, Meazza Milan in Serie A, Sevilla in La Liga, Liverpool in the Premier League, and Naples in Serie A have become the favorite teams to win the championship.

For this report, the German media was very upset. Hoffenheim performed so well in the Europa League group stage, why was it not selected for the seeded team?

This is not only an insult to Hoffenheim, but also a contempt for the Bundesliga.

However, the relevant media also gave an explanation.

They said that Hoffenheim's performance in the group stage can indeed be described as stunning, but it was a group stage after all.

After entering the knockout rounds, the intensity of the Europa League will increase several levels, and Hoffenheim's performance will also be drawn with a question mark.

Moreover, it is the first time for Hoffenheim to participate in the European war, and their adaptability is not enough. When facing strong teams, their flexibility is also unknown.

It can only be said that until now, Hoffenheim have played too smoothly, and the media cannot know their performance in difficult situations.

Especially those old giants, each of them is full of background, and they have never seen any battles.

When facing these teams, it is also a mystery whether Hoffenheim can stand out.

In this case, the Europa League knockout draw has also begun.

On January 15th, the UEFA headquarters will hold the UEFA Champions League and Europa League knockout draws.

For this draw, UEFA invited Benari, a German meritorious player, to be a guest of the draw.

at the same time,

A bar in Hoffenheim, Germany is also very lively.

"Lawrence, here's another bottle of wine!"

A young man yelled, and the response was a particularly violent roar.

"Get it yourself, put the money on the table!"

At this time, Lawrence, wearing a Hoffenheim jersey and holding a small flag in his hand, was looking nervously at the TV on the wall of the bar.

Seeing this scene, Old Dink couldn't help laughing and said, "Dude, the lottery hasn't started yet."

"I know, but I'm just nervous." Lawrence said with a tangled face; "Eight out of the Champions League knockout teams, seven entered the Europa League knockout round. The second place in the Europa League group stage is really useless."

Old Dink said helplessly; "There is no way, we have to admit that the Europa League is still a long way from the Champions League."

"Sevilla, Meazza Milan, Sporting Lisbon, Marce, Rennes, Benfica, these six teams are already enough headaches, and there is even Tottenham United, the second in the Premier League. Damn it!" Lawrence cursed.

Mrs. Wendy also sighed, "Why do I feel that the second in the group is better than the first in the group?"

The others nodded silently.

Not only Lawrence and others, but other places in the bar are also complaining about this phenomenon.

"It feels like the knockout rounds of the Europa League are prepared for the knockout teams from the Champions League."

"The intensity of the game has increased too much, can we withstand it?"

"Seven poor draws + one upper draw, Goddess of Luck blesses Hoffenheim."

At this time, the TV screen flickered, and after the last commercial ended, the UEFA logo appeared.

The entire bar suddenly fell silent. Everyone knew that the exciting draw for the knockout round was about to begin.

A large number of reporters and officials from various regional football associations gathered at the scene. Two draw boxes and aluminum balls were placed on the stage.

At the beginning, it was the UEFA Europa League draw. The guests of the draw will draw a team from two different boxes to become their opponents.

Under the eyes of all the people, Benari, the guest of the lottery, appeared on the stage.

In the Brave Bar, Hoffenheim fans cheered collectively.

Benari is the hero of German football. For every German fan, he is a totemic symbol.

"Benari bless you, be sure to draw a good lottery!"

"We want Malmo, we want Malmo!"

"God bless us to draw Malmö!"

Obviously compared to other teams, Malmo is still the softest persimmon even though he successfully entered the knockout round.

Benari finally came to the draw box and drew an aluminum ball from the box on the left (first in the group).

When he unscrewed the sphere, he took a piece of paper from inside and spread it out towards the lens.

Premier League - Red Factory!

Immediately afterwards, he drew another aluminum ball from the box on the right.

I saw Benari's face slightly embarrassed, spreading towards the camera.

Richao - Malmö!

At this moment, the mentality of Hoffenheim fans collapsed.

The soft persimmon was taken away, shit! Benary's is such a stinker!

Not only Hoffenheim fans, but also the other top teams in the Europa League group.

Therefore, their opponents are only the seven eliminated teams from the Champions League.

The most important thing is that none of these seven are easy to deal with.

If one is not good, it is not certain that all the first in the group will fall!

That's wow!

Benari continued to draw lots, and the teams were drawn out one by one, which gradually overloaded the hearts of Hoffenheim fans.

Now, a total of three groups have been identified.

They are:

Group A - Premier League Red Factory VS Ruichao Malmo.

Group B - Turkish Super League Fenerbahce VS Serie A Mecha Milan.

Group C - League Brugge VS Premier League Tottenham United.

Next, Benari drew Valencia from La Liga.

This made the Hoffenheim team even more uncomfortable.

Because the opponent they least want to meet has not been taken away.

Benari began to draw Valencia's opponents.

When the team logo appeared on the TV, someone in the bar suddenly cheered.

"Drawn away! Nice job, Benari!"

It's just that, except for this person, everyone sat in place without cheering in unison.

The man looked at the crowd and said, "Hey! Guys, Seville has been taken away, shouldn't we cheer?"

At this moment, Lawrence turned his head and asked, "Which division does Sevilla belong to?"

That human said; "La Liga!"

Lawrence continued to ask, "Where is Valencia?"

"West...uh!" The man finally came to his senses.

The principle of avoidance in the same competition area, so...the crisis has not been resolved.

At this moment, everyone turned their eyes to the TV again.

On the TV, Benari has already put his hand into the draw box on the left.

At this moment, all Hoffenheim fans are praying.

Don't be us!

Lady Luck bless!

Everyone was staring at the TV.

They watched as Benari removed the aluminum ball, unscrewed it, and glanced at it first.

I saw his face suddenly changed.

At this moment, the hearts of the Hoffenheim fans thumped.

With a wry smile, Benari turned his wrist outwards and pointed the note at the camera.

The note clearly says 'Hoffenheim'.

At this moment, the Hoffenheim fans felt extremely uncomfortable.

Benari!

Thief!

You bastard!

Group D: Bundesliga Hoffenheim VS La Liga Sevilla!
