Chapter 20 Group Default
On July 7, all seven invited teams gathered in Berlin, and the German capital instantly became the center of European football.

In the past, only Hertha Berlin could make a shot in Berlin, and they only reached the first division for a few years. Berlin fans have no confidence to speak in front of fans from other regions. Ruhr duo, Munich duo, where? Every region has one or two Bundesliga powerhouses, but now they have finally become the envy of other fans. Walking on the streets of Berlin, you might be able to meet "Lord of the Rings" Raul or Alan Shearer. The capital's fans are number one This time I really realized what it means to gather stars.

7 p.m., Berlin City Hall.

Bosque, Zoff, Bobby Robson and other famous coaches gathered together.

"Jose, don't you want to say hello to your teacher?"

Mourinho used to be Robson's translator. He basically learned what he learned from the old coach in England, and slowly added his own stuff. Bobby Robson can be said to be Mourinho's Bole is also a mentor.

"Let's talk about it later, I'd rather meet Bobby at the stadium than some boring small talk."

"Okay then, just wait for the lottery."

Edward took a sip of his wine and said.

"Edward, I've been looking for you for a long time."

Florentino said affectionately that besides being the chairman of Real Madrid, he is also a successful businessman.When a young man has 300 billion euros and owns many raw materials and building materials companies, he cannot be treated as a young man.

Edward is very important to him, and Florentino can get great benefits if he reaches a little cooperation.

"Hello, Monsieur Florentino."

Edward quickly got up to say hello.

"Just call me Perez." Florentino sat down with Edward.

Edouard noticed that Mourinho was very reserved.

This is the king with a strong mouth. He usually looks like pointing the country. He is like a quail when he meets a real boss. Mourinho is still too young at this time.

"Edward, why don't you say hello when you want to buy someone from Real Madrid in the summer? What's the name of that Argentine?"

"Cambiasso."

Edward reminded.

"Yes, it's Cambiasso. I asked. The coach of the youth team doesn't like him at all. If you just say hello, you can give it to you for free."

Hearing what Florentino said, Edward's face was full of gratitude, but his heart was full of disdain.

The ancestors taught that people must ask for something under courtesy.

He didn't miss the hundreds of thousands, and it really cost hundreds of thousands less. At least he had to give up millions to tens of millions of benefits to Florentino in the business, and Edward understood this account.

"Next time I buy a Real Madrid player, I must greet you in advance, Mr. Florentino."

"Perez!"

The Real Madrid chairman pretended to be angry and said.

"Okay, Perez."

At this time, the music sounded, and the Latin prince Ricky Martin, who became famous in the 98 World Cup, came to the stage to sing, followed by Britney Spears.

"Edward, you are really generous."

Florentino said.

"I like Blaney better."

Sky TV even broadcast the lottery. Edward, based on the principle of making a special feature if he wants to do it, directly found two popular singers all over the world, and planned to let Union Berlin show his face. Of course, he also wanted to meet Blaney.

After the two finished singing, Beckenbauer and Germany's number one beauty, Claudia Schiffer, walked to the center together, and the drawing ceremony officially began.

Although the specifications of the lottery were completely based on the World Cup, Edouard still made a move, and the result was just as he arranged. Ajax, Union Berlin, Newcastle and Marseille were drawn into Group A, Real Madrid, Lazio, Benfica, Schalke 04 In Group B.

The strength of Group A is weaker. If Ajax and Newcastle are kicked into Group B, Union Berlin's chances of qualifying will be greatly increased, but the game in Group A will be completely reduced to tasteless. No one wants to see Union Berlin play Schalke 04 ...

--------

At 7 am on July 15th, the first match of the "Freedom Berlin Cup" started.

As the host, Union Berlin sits at home against Ajax.

Originally, Edward thought that only local fans would come to watch the match. After all, it was just a warm-up cup match, but he actually saw a piece of Ajax jerseys in the away stands!

Compared with the away fans, the home fans are more fanatical, especially those young people. The Fusele Stadium is covered with banners, and the red jerseys look like a sea of ​​​​fire. You can feel the heat from a distance. Edward likes it very much. This kind of atmosphere, but he doesn't like the current team song very much. Hearing the fans singing "We will never give in", Edward's face is not very good, Stas is finished, and now these fans are only fighting against him .

Find time to change the team song!
Edward, who led the Ajax executives into the box, thought bitterly.

"Edward, are you okay, your complexion is not very good."

"It's okay, I'm worrying you."

After taking his seat, Edward immediately noticed Mourinho. The Portuguese was too dazzling. At this time, the madman had black hair, a neat suit, and stood coolly on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets. It was hard not to notice.

"What a coquette."

Edward grumbled.

Mourinho is indeed handsome. He was the spokesperson of Armani in his previous life. He is the only coach who has more endorsements than most stars. Whether it is his unruly temperament or appearance, he is favored by many sponsors.

Mourinho's starting lineup today is goalkeeper Peter Cech; Evra, Chivu, Friedrich, and Alves lined up on the back line; Cambiasso and Essien partnered as midfielders; on the left Avant-garde Arjen Robben, right avant-garde Dirk Dirk, Huntelaar as a single arrow, van der Vaart as a shadow striker.

No wonder the German media said that Union Berlin is the Dutch national youth team. Your mother has 4 Dutchmen in the frontcourt, and there are Van Persie, De Jong and Sneijder on the bench. A German team has 7 Dutch players. Sometimes the number of places is not enough (in the early days of German football, only 3 foreign players were allowed to register, and later it was changed to players from EU member states to count as domestic aid).

After playing the game for a while, Edward's heart was full of turmoil. Although he knew that these boys would be great in the future, he never expected that they would be able to play equally with Ajax after training together for a short time.

Although the young people who kicked crazy lack of tacit understanding, everyone's personal ability is not bad, and there are often scenes of [-]v[-] or even [-]v[-].

As long as the ball reaches Robben's feet, he is basically wanted to pass it out. During this period, "Peter Pan" has a unique style of play, holding the ball and rushing all the way.

Edward soon noticed a problem. He could understand that Dirk was placed on the right. After all, Mourinho likes to stand on defense. Dirk’s diligent attitude and running ability will bring great help to the midfielder. Why isn't the winger against the foot?

An inverse winger cutting inside is the future development trend of football's wing. As a left-footed player, Robben's threat on the left is obviously insufficient.

As the game progressed, the weakness of the lack of tacit understanding among the players of Union Berlin was finally revealed...
