Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 413 Lottery Oolong
The Millwall trio flew to Nyon, Switzerland together, and talked about the Champions League round of [-] draw on the way. Wilkinson thought the prospects were a bit pessimistic, "I have some gossip."

"I have talked with several FA officials. They all said that every year in the Champions League, some games are destined to be good. Matches must consider the attractiveness of the game and commercial sponsorship."

"So every year there will definitely be focus battles, and most of them are contests between the Nike and Adidas camps."

"There is news that we will draw a strong team, either Serie A or La Liga. In addition, UEFA hopes to allow the giants with offensive style to increase the attractiveness of the Champions League."

"The performance of the Premier League in the past two years has been too outstanding, winning two consecutive championships, so several teams will be suppressed."

"..."

Along the way, Wilkinson said a lot, most of which were gossip. As a person who has more contact with English football, he still has a lot of sources, some of which are recognized, but it is definitely possible. It's meaningless, because there are many conflicts in it, but anyway, both Zhang Yang and Wise agree that there is an inside story in the draw, which is well known to all European clubs.

No one will break it.

One is that there is no evidence, and the other is that UEFA organizes the UEFA Champions League. The higher the commercial attractiveness, the more bonuses each participating team can receive. The team is favorable.

In addition, the draw is actually not important, what is important is the strength of each team.

If you are strong and perform well, you can win no matter which team you meet, and it doesn't matter if you draw a lottery once.

Zhang Yang didn't care too much.

It is too complicated to go to the lottery and think about these things. He is just a head coach, and he can play against any opponent he meets. The only thing he can do is this. As for whether there is any inside story, it has nothing to do with Millwall Big.

The Premier League as a whole has been suppressed, and at most it has encountered strong teams.

That's it.

Of course, Zhang Yang still hopes to meet a weaker team. After all, a weaker team is easier to beat. After the group stage, a total of [-] teams from the eight groups will advance to the knockout stage. Seeds, and the eight second-ranked teams will be determined by drawing lots. Among them, the teams that have met in the group stage will be avoided in the draw, and the club teams from the same country will also be avoided in the draw.

The opponents that Millwall may encounter are: Porto, Celtic, PSV Eindhoven, Lille, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Inter Milan.

Among them, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Inter Milan are the second strong teams in the group, and the other four teams are much easier to deal with. Even if there are really suppressed Premier League teams, the four Premier League teams Manchester United, Chelsea , Arsenal and Millwall, it is impossible to all encounter strong teams, and Millwall still has a great chance of encountering weak teams.

----

After arriving at the lottery scene, the Millwall trio immediately attracted a lot of attention.

When participating in the UEFA Champions League group draw, few people took Millwall seriously. A Millwall trio participated in the UEFA Champions League draw for the first time. They are absolute newcomers here, and few are familiar with it at all. The second is that Millwall is not favored.

The situation is different now.

In Group D of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Millwall won the first place in the group with a crushing result, which is no worse than Manchester United and Chelsea in the same league. In addition, Millwall still ranks first in the Premier League, which also makes more people pay attention to Millwall. Wall, they know this is not a 'shooting star' team, good results can continue at least until this season.

Many reporters gathered around to interview.

Zhang Yang smiled at the reporters. When talking about the draw, he said in a low-key manner, "Millwall is participating in the Champions League for the first time. We came here with a learning attitude, so it doesn't matter what opponent we meet. I hope to meet a strong team, even if I lose the game, I will learn more experience."

"..."

All the reporters almost broke out friendly words starting with 'F', especially those reporters who had interviewed Zhang Yang, they all knew that the young man in front of him was purely fooling people!

Millwall for the learning experience?
If it was really for the purpose of learning experience, how could the group stage be so strong!
Hope to meet a strong team?

It is estimated that no head coach would say this, even those of the top giants would hope to encounter weaker opponents, and any team would want to make it easier to advance to the quarterfinals.

Journalists have nothing to do.

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he walked into the venue with Wise and Wilkinson without giving them a chance to ask questions.

There are already many people in the venue.

Mourinho's Chelsea team had just entered the venue. Zhang Yang and Mourinho met. The two looked at each other and seemed to feel that it was a bit embarrassing not to speak.

Zhang Yang nodded towards Mourinho, and was about to walk away. Unexpectedly, Mourinho actually said, "I hope Millwall will have good luck and draw a good opponent."

Zhang Yang replied with a smile, "Of course, I also wish you good luck."

The two only said an insignificant sentence, and then left with a cold snort of disdain.

Zhang Yang glanced at the venue, there were quite a few familiar faces, but he found either unfriendly 'enemies', or all kinds of dismissive eyes, in short, most of them were not very friendly.

Many people said that "peers are enemies", and it was vividly reflected in the venue. The head coach and the head coach are in direct competition, and it is really difficult to have any mutual friendship.

In other words, Wenger is not bad.

Zhang Yang found the Frenchman's location, greeted him, and walked straight over.

The relationship between Zhang Yang and Wenger has always been very good. Even in the match between Millwall and Arsenal, the two sides are only competing at the competitive level and will not involve personal relationships.

In European football, Wenger is the one who Zhang Yang gets along well. Other old coaches such as Redknapp and Hart are either coaching in low-level leagues or have already retired.

Thinking about it this way, it's really windy... a bit cold!

When the time was almost up, a beautiful host walked out on the stage of the venue, and when the announcement was made, the lottery ceremony officially started.

The UEFA Champions League round of [-] draw is no different than the UEFA Champions League group draw, and there is no need to award so many awards. The host came to the stage to talk, and after making some introductions, the guests were invited to draw lots officially.

The UEFA Champions League round of [-] draws are conducted randomly. The name of a team is first drawn, and then shown to the audience. Then, from a new box, the team that may meet the team is drawn.

The first one to be drawn was AC Milan, and their opponent was the Celtics. When the name of the 'Celtics' was revealed, many people in the venue called AC Milan good luck.

In the Champions League round of [-], the Celtics can only be regarded as a weak team.

Next up is Bayern, and their opponent is Lille.

"Millwall...?"

Hearing the shout of the host on the stage, many cameras pointed at Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang waved his hands around with a smile, and looked seriously, and then a name was shown in his hand by the guest, "Real-Madrid (Real Madrid)? "

Real Madrid?

Zhang Yang froze for a moment, his expression a little ugly.

Real Madrid!

Among the second teams in the group, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Inter Milan are the most powerful teams among them. Any top seeded team in the group will not want to meet these three teams.

Real Madrid is definitely not easy to deal with!
In recent years, with the rise of Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid's one-year superstar strategy has failed. They have been suppressed by Barcelona in the league. In the past two seasons, the results of the Champions League have not been very good, but everyone must admit , Real Madrid is one of the most difficult teams to deal with, because they have enough stars, and they are still considered to be the team with the strongest lineup, and there are very few teams that can be compared.

Such a team of Real Madrid was met by Millwall?

There is an inside story!
Zhang Yang doesn't know if there is an inside story. It is reasonable to say that it is not surprising that Millwall was drawn to Real Madrid, but when it really happened, anyone who wasn't an insider would think it was an inside story.

Is UEFA deliberately suppressing the Premier League team?

Too much limelight for Millwall?
No matter how Zhang Yang thinks about it, he feels awkward, and he feels bad about his bad luck. Seeing Chelsea meet Porto, and Arsenal meeting PSV, his mood is even worse.

The other teams have drawn weak teams, but Millwall has drawn strong teams.

Even in a bad mood, a head coach can't do anything in front of the behemoth of UEFA.Really... can't do anything?
When he saw that the next name was revealed to be Manchester United, Zhang Yang suddenly remembered the supernatural ability-gambling.

Coupled with Manchester United, there are only six teams left, and the probability of two-two pairing has reached one-third.

Gambling is available.

Zhang Yang also suddenly remembered what Wilkinson said, "UEFA hopes to let the giants with an offensive style take the lead!"

So let Barcelona meet Manchester United?
Zhang Yang smiled slightly.

When the guests were drawing lots, Zhang Yang suddenly used his gambling skills, and a mysterious power was immediately mapped to the hands of the guests, and when the guests revealed their names to the audience, the host immediately called out, "Inter Milan! "

"Inter Milan?"

"Inter Milan??"

"Hula..."

There was a lot of noise in the venue. For a long time, no one could hear what was said in the distance. Immediately, an official from the audience reminded the host with his eyes. , she noticed that she had made a mistake, and she immediately corrected, "Oh, sorry, it's Barcelona!" Her expression was no longer as calm as before, but became tense, mixed with a puzzled expression.

Only a very few people would foolishly think that the host made a small mistake.

Most people immediately think of the question: Inter Milan?Barcelona?The names of the two clubs almost don't even have the same letter. What kind of mistake did they make to make such a big mistake?

I'm afraid...it's not a simple misreading, right?
