"G group!"

When Mattus flipped over the note, the camera immediately focused on it, giving a big close-up.

All the guests and all the viewers sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast could clearly see the thick black English letters on the note in his hand, and they were all in an uproar.

Chinatown actually drew Group G!

Gao Han, who was sitting in the front row, was stunned for the first time, then covered his mouth in disbelief and shook his head constantly, as if he was saying, "My God, aren't you really dreaming?"

Mattus was obviously surprised by his draw results, and smiled a little far-fetchedly, and kept shaking his head.

Porto, Donetsk miners, St. Petersburg Zenit, and a La Liga Chinatown, can be said to be the weakest group among the eight groups in the Champions League, and none of the four teams are as powerful as the strongest team.

I guess at this moment, I don’t know how many guests in the venue were envious of Chinatown and Cantalero.

In fact, as early as after drawing out the first three teams, everyone had a premonition that Group G would likely be the weakest. The suspense was just whether a strong team would be drawn in the fourth gear, such as Dortmund or Naples, but it turned out to be Chinatown.

"Did you give the money?" Ferguson, who was sitting beside him, asked indignantly.

He was so depressed that such a good thing actually made Chinatown cheaper. It was really...

It doesn’t matter that you know that tomorrow there will be a lot of media reporting and hyping the dark side of lottery draws. Otherwise, why would Chinatown be so lucky? He won such a weak group in the first time he played in the Champions League?

Gao Han drew a good lottery and was in a good mood. After hearing Ferguson's teasing, he laughed and replied: "I really want to give it, but the problem is that no one dares to accept it."

Ferguson breathed heavily, "Your luck is really nothing."

Porto, Donetsk Miners and St. Petersburg Zenit, these three teams are not at all disagreeable even if they are in the Europa League. If you can meet three such opponents in the Champions League group stage, Chinatown will definitely have the ability to compete for the right to qualify in the group, or even qualify in the top group.

If Chinatown really wins the top spot in the group, if they can meet weaker opponents in the quarterfinals, they may not be able to compete for another game. They even have the hope of reaching the quarterfinals.

"Luck?" Gao Han calmed down and shook his head, "You said it wrong, this luck may not be very good."

"Isn't that good?" Ferguson was speechless.

How many teams can't envy you and still dislike you?

Be kind to be a person.

But Gao Han seemed very serious, "If Manchester United had drawn these three teams, I guess you would have laughed in your dreams, but we in Chinatown may not necessarily be. At best, we can only say that we have not encountered super strong teams, but the group stage is not easy to play, and the gap between each other's strength is not obvious."

Gao Han's words made Ferguson nodded in agreement. He really looked at Chinatown based on the standards of a giant team, which was a bit out of reality. The reality is that the four teams in Group G are all very close to their strength, and everyone has hopes to qualify in the group, and each team will do its best in every game.

Therefore, this group may eventually turn into a melee, and it will be difficult for anyone to get a bargain.

"If we didn't sell those players this summer, I would be very confident in qualifying in the group, but now I have sold a lot of people. If the league wants to maintain the top four, I may not be able to hold on in the group stage."

Porto, Donetsk miners and St. Petersburg Zenit are not fuel-efficient. These three teams have won the Europa League championship, and even in the Champions League, they have had precedents of overturning giant teams.

Judging from past achievements and strength level this season, they should be in the same position.

Ferguson agrees with Gao Han's analysis. If the four players are not sold this summer and the team is introduced, Chinatown's strength will increase greatly and there is hope for qualifying in the group, but now that the four main players are sold, the situation will be very bad.

There are no weak teams in the Champions League, not to mention that none of these three teams are weak teams.

Sometimes when you think about it, this way of drawing lots is really a scam.

Just talking about Porto, although he obviously does not have the strength of a seed team, he won an Europa League championship last season and was repeatedly debuted in the Champions League, which led to their points reaching the seed team.

The Donetsk miners and St. Petersburg Zenit are not as strong as Dortmund and Naples in the fourth tier, but they are ranked second and third tier, which leads to several teams being assigned to the same group.

Of course, good luck in drawing lots does not mean the game.

The four teams in Group G are almost the same strength and the competition will be very fierce.

…………

…………

At the end of the party was a final award ceremony, where Cristiano Ronaldo defeated other competitors such as Messi and won the first European Best Player Award.

This is a brand new award specially launched by UEFA after the merger of the European Golden Ball Awards and FIFA World Footballer. It integrates five awards including the best goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, forward and best player, and merges into the European Best Player Award, which makes it feel like challenging the FIFA Golden Ball Awards.

But everyone's focus is still on the draw of the Champions League group stage.

In the past, all media reporters and fans were more concerned about the death group, but what is funny is that the most eye-catching part of this year is the weakest unpopular group G group, which is the most powerful, and a large part of the reason is that Chinatown.

After the lottery ceremony, Gao Han was interviewed by media reporters as usual, and did not think that such lottery was a great benefit to Chinatown. On the contrary, he repeatedly reminded everyone that Porto is the strongest team in the group.

"As we have seen, Porto was the UEFA Champion last season and the Portuguese Super League triumphal. Although head coach Boas went away to Chelsea this season, the team's strength is still good, obviously surpassing the other three teams. If nothing unexpected happens, I think they are likely to get a qualifying right."

"The Donetsk miners and St. Petersburg Zenit have very rich European war experience, and their strength is also good. I think they will compete for another right to qualify."

When the media reporter reminded Gao Han that he seemed to have forgotten the Chinatown of Group G, Gao Han laughed.

"No, I haven't forgotten, but Chinatown is the fourth-level team. Several players with great strength have been lost this summer, and their overall competitiveness has been affected. So judging from the draw, Chinatown should have the least hope of qualifying."

But Gao Han quickly changed his subject.

"Of course, we have been on the road of constantly challenging strong teams over the past few years. We have upgraded to La Liga every year. From La Liga to the fourth to the current Champions League, we have taken one step at a time. Challenging the strong is our tradition in Chinatown, so no matter how big or small we hope, we will do our best."

Not only Gao Han, Chinatown's technical director Cantalero also said in an interview with the media that Chinatown's draw is not good, and the other three teams are better than Chinatown. If Chinatown wants to qualify, it must do its best to play every group match.

"We are a very young team and being able to participate in the Champions League is already a huge encouragement for us, so we will not put pressure on the players in any case. As long as we give our all, we believe we can achieve a satisfactory result."

It is obvious that both Gao Han and Cantalero feel that they must keep a low profile at this moment.

The four teams have the same strength, and there is a possibility of winning or losing. Chinatown is only fourth in La Liga, and is not strong enough to easily defeat the Champions League powerhouses such as Porto and Donetsk Miners.

Regarding Chinatown's Champions League draw, the media roughly divides it into two positions.

Or it is optimistic that Chinatown is fourth in La Liga last season. Facing Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid can compete with each other, and playing second-rate Champions League teams such as Porto and Donetsk Miners, can completely gain the upper hand. Being able to draw this group has basically advanced to the group stage in advance.

But there is also a faction that Chinatown sells four main players in a row, and the team's strength has been severely weakened. The newly joined Pelle, Miranda and Godin have not yet been able to integrate with the team, and their overall strength has declined significantly, so it is probably difficult to qualify in the group.

Maca registered accountant Matayana and Serr Radio's gold medal anchor Dela Morena were both neutral, believing that Chinatown does have many problems, especially the team's offensive line. Losing two main players, Michu and James Rodriguez, had a huge impact on Chinatown's offensive.

But as long as the team can adjust, it may not be powerless to fight.

On the second day of the Champions League group stage draw ceremony, the group draw for the UEFA Cup officially began.

Paris Saint-Germain's lottery was also not ideal, and he won the draws of Salzburg in Austria, Athletic Bilbao in La Liga and Slaven in Slovakia. The strongest of them is Athletic Bilbao.

This summer, Bielsa announced that he would coach Athletic Bilbao, which has become a hot topic in European football.

The head coaches including Gao Han, Guardiola and Pochettino all welcomed Argentine's madman to land in Europe, but Bielsa's team started the game with a disastrous defeat to Real Madrid in the first round, and they lost 1-4 away games to Real Madrid. Chinatown with their disciple Pochettino is a bad brother.

However, no one would doubt Bielsa's coaching ability and Athletic Bilbao's strength level.

But Gao Han was very open about the draw result. When he was interviewed by the media in Monaco, he said confidently that the team will undoubtedly qualify from the group stage and will definitely qualify as the top spot.

"Yes, there is no doubt that for us, we can't get the first place in the group, even if it's a failure."

"I believe we have the strength to get the best ranking in the group."

"I am very excited to compete with Bielsa. It is my honor. He is a great head coach and a very rare wise man. I long to meet him as soon as possible."

Bielsa, who was far away in Spain, quickly responded to Gao Han's remarks, saying that Athletic Bilbao will definitely do his best, and he is also looking forward to the contest with Gao Han.

"He is one of the reasons why I chose European football." Bielsa responded provocatively.

The two famous coaches' cross-air firefighting has also added some highlights to the group stage of the Europa League.

But after the Europa League draw, the second round of the La Liga started again.

After a disastrous away defeat in the first round, Athletic Bilbao returned to the home court and continued to be sluggish, drawing Vallecano 1-1, which made Bielsa suffer from a dark goal. Many people are worried whether the Argentine madman will repeat the mistakes he had made back then.

After all, his performance in European football has always been terrible.

Chinatown's situation is not ideal. It challenged Sevilla away. Not long after the opening, Sevilla scored two goals in a row. Negrado scored twice. After that, Chinatown never broke through Sevilla's defense.

It was not until the 81st minute that Isco, who came on the bench, won a goal for Chinatown, but he still lost one-to-two in the end, ushering in a two-game losing streak at the beginning.

This deeply troubled everyone in Chinatown, and Gao Han also realized the team's crisis.
