The strongest winger

Chapter 1098 Worry
When Shakhtar Donetsk, Juventus, AC Milan and CSKA Moscow were drawn out of the second round of the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony, the remaining teams and groups without the second round of the group created a huge space for the imagination of the guests and the media.

Especially in Group E where the defending champion Valencia is located, according to the avoidance rules of the same football association that organizes the draw, Atletico Madrid in the second tier is automatically excluded, that is to say, Valencia's remaining potential group opponents in the draw are Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille and Schalke 04.

If there were no major speculations from the mainstream European media before the group draw, perhaps there was no surprise in this draw, but the problem is that everyone's eyes were on the very likely super death group before the game, so...

After drawing the fourth second-tier team, UEFA Secretary-General Infantino drew the fifth team from the second-tier Theo group. In front of the eyes of the guests and hundreds of millions of fans, he drew Paris Saint-Germain.

Suddenly, there was an uproar at the scene.

Because the first team that best matches Paris Saint-Germain, the new European football tycoon, is the defending champion Valencia, and Valencia's Group E has not yet been drawn, so...the two teams are very likely to be drawn together.

Five seconds later, the result was announced.

"Oh my God, is this really God's will? Paris Saint-Germain, which has made a large investment this summer, actually drew Valencia's Group E! The super death group imagined by the media before the game is very likely to appear!" Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor exclaimed: "...You must know that UEFA's favorite mode of the draw is to draw the opponents of the UEFA Champions League final together last year. Paris Saint-Germain drew Valencia's Group E. Dortmund and Manchester City, who have the strength of seeded teams, have the same chance. Is it?"

Duan Xuan, a CCTV commentator, said in surprise: "There was a lot of media reports before the game. I didn't expect UEFA to put Paris Saint-Germain in Group E. Wouldn't such a draw be a bit inappropriate?"

BBC commentator Lineker solemnly analyzed: "Could it be that this year's Champions League group draw was leaked in advance? Otherwise, how could there be accurate results that everyone guessed before the game?"

……

At the same time, the on-site director switched the camera to the head coaches of the two clubs, Valencia and Paris Saint-Germain, and used technical means to push the facial features.

Judging from the expression, Ancelotti has not changed much, still applying with ease, while Paris Saint-Germain coach Blanco is frowning, obviously feeling a great pressure coming.

However, what the on-site director did not capture was that the corner of Valencia captain Aiello's mouth was slightly raised, which seemed to be psychologically prepared for the draw.

In fact, before the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group draw began, the advanced system had a side mission, and the mission content was that Ai Luo wanted to lead the three-time champion Valencia to stand out from the Super Death Group, continue to dominate Europe, and stand on top of the world.

Not long after, the eight teams in the second tier were all settled, and then the focus of everyone's attention was the draw for the third tier.

Regardless of whether Dortmund and Manchester City in the third tier can get Group E, no matter which group they get, they can form an effective group of death.

But if possible, what everyone wants to see is the Super Group of Death.

※※※

Just after UEFA Secretary-General Infantino introduced the third-tier team, the guests and the media were in a state of lack of concentration. However, at this moment, the secretary-general committed Nono and pulled out Dortmund, one of the strongest teams in the third tier.

It took about two seconds for the scene to react, but because the first round of the third draw was only the name of the team, but not the group order of the team, the reporters and guests who came to the scene could control their emotions.

Therefore, except for Paris Saint-Germain coach Blanco and Dortmund coach Klopp, everyone hopes that Dortmund will be drawn in Group E where Valencia is located, because as long as Dortmund is drawn in Group E, then this group does not care who the fourth team in the group is, and it can also be called the death group.

"Which group will Dortmund draw?"

Accompanied by the provocative background music, Sky TV commentator Martin Tailei, who was sitting in the live commentary, watched the lucky draw guests and yelled: "Oh-My-God, Dortmund actually got Valencia's Group E? Unbelievable! Unbelievable!"

At this time, there were other commentators who felt that the drawing of lots was incredible. Whether they were in the live commentary booth or in the commentary booth in their own country, they all showed their surprise after marveling.

Duan Xuan, a CCTV commentator, was surprised for a short time before explaining objectively: "Looks like last season's Champions League final will be repeated. It's really a contest that people look forward to. In the new season, we will see Ai Luo and Feng Xiaoting meet again on the top European stage. In addition, Zhang Xizhe, the biggest discoverer of this year's Confederations Cup, has just transferred to Paris Saint-Germain this summer. That is to say... the history of Chinese football has been refreshed again. In the UEFA Champions League group stage in the same season, three teams with Chinese players will compete in the same group. Really looking forward to it!"

On the Internet, the UEFA Champions League group draw for the 2013-2014 season also went viral in an instant.

After all, this lottery is amazing...

Like the previous broadcast shots, after Dortmund was drawn to Group E, the on-site director's shots were switched to the coaches of the three teams, Ancelotti, Blanco and Klopp, and pushed to facial close-ups through technical means.

It can be clearly seen that the facial expressions of Klopp and Blanco are much uglier, and even Ancelotti's relatively calm report has a trace of dissatisfaction.

You know this is the group of death!

A group can only have two teams qualify, and three strong teams drawn into a group means that one of the teams will be eliminated.

Coupled with the fact that the last team in Group E has not yet been drawn, it is easy to think of guessing the media reports before the game. At that time, instead of three teams competing for two qualifying places, four teams will compete for two places.

Even if Valencia's strength and stability are better, but the league has just started, Real Madrid and Barcelona are in good condition, and there are two national derbies in the domestic league in the first half of the season.

If Valencia is distracted by the group of death in the Champions League group stage, it will appear a little powerless, after all, human energy is limited.

This is why Ancelotti's expression is a little unnatural, even frowning.
