heir to the red devil

Chapter 423
Hearing Jin Taige and Scholes talking about TV, Ferran who was sitting aside was taken aback: "What are you talking about? Watching TV? What program are you so anxious to watch?"

Scholes said with a smile: "Phelan, have you forgotten that there will be a draw for the Champions League group stage tonight?"

Ferran slapped his thigh: "Look at my brain! I was only thinking about the game just now, and I forgot about it a long time ago."

Scholes asked Phelan: "Which team do you want us to draw in the group stage?"

"The weaker you are, the better," Ferran's answer was very straightforward. "It's best not to meet a team like 'Huang Saren' in the group stage, so as not to make the game difficult."

Jin Taige shook his head: "My idea is exactly the opposite of yours. Since our goal is to win the Champions League, we will have to meet a team like 'Huang Saren' sooner or later, so I will decide which opponent to draw in the Champions League group stage. Not particularly concerned."

Scholes asked: "Captain, if you could choose, who would you like to face?"

Jin Taige thought for a while: "I only have one wish, that is, the opponent can be closer to Manchester City and avoid the fatigue of horses and horses as much as possible. If I can choose...I hope to meet Real Madrid in the group stage."

Ferran was a little surprised: "We were eliminated by Real Madrid in the semi-finals last season, why do you still hope to meet Real Madrid?"

Jin Taige looked at Ferran with firm eyes: "Because we were eliminated by Real Madrid last season and finally missed the Champions League, they ruined my dream of the Triple Crown, so I want revenge, and the sooner the better!"

While the three of Kintag were chatting, the players in the back row were also chatting about the Champions League game.

The veteran Evra is more conservative: "We'd better meet a few weak teams in the Champions League group stage, so that we can get the first place in the group more smoothly, and then create conditions for the following games."

Martial shrugged: "I don't want to meet the Nordic team, that group of tall guys, it's too painful to fight against them physically."

Nainggolan showed a fierce look on his face: "It doesn't matter who you meet, you just do it anyway!"

At this time, Jin Taige, who was sitting in the front row, quietly looked at the direction of the car outside the window, and the flame of battle was ignited in his heart.

Because Jin Taige led the game, Woodward went to Monaco, France alone to participate in the draw ceremony of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

When Jin Taige rushed home, the lottery ceremony was about to begin.

Jin Taige was extremely looking forward to the final result, staring at the live footage on the TV screen intently.

As the lottery ceremony proceeds, the final grouping results will all be produced!

The first seed in Group A is Manchester United, and the remaining three teams are Juventus, Olympiacos and Malmo.

When Jin Taige saw this grouping, he was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect this result.

Needless to say, the strength of Juventus, they are definitely the team closest to "Huang Saren" in strength at present, the current strength of the three lines in the Juventus team is very strong, and the old lady's steady style of play is definitely Manchester United's strength. The group's worst enemy.

And Kintag did not expect to win Olympiacos.The two teams met in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League last season. At that time, Olympiacos had a very obvious home court advantage, which caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United. Kintag lost 0-2 away.If it weren't for the 4-0 victory at home, they might really be blocked by their opponents on the way forward.

The Swedish league champion Malmö is relatively weaker, but the Nordic team's tough style of play will also cause trouble for Manchester United, which is currently relying on technology.

In a word, Manchester United's Champions League group stage journey this season is full of difficulties.

In addition to Group A, the groupings of other groups also have their own characteristics.

The first seed in Group B is Real Madrid, and the remaining three teams are Basel, Arsenal and Ludogorets.Real Madrid and Arsenal have obvious advantages. If nothing else, they are likely to advance together.

The number one seed in Group C is Benfica, and the remaining three teams are Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen and Zenit.The strength of these four teams is relatively average, and the qualifying situation is difficult to predict.

The first seed in Group D is Atletico Madrid, and the remaining three teams are Borussia Dortmund, Anderlecht and Galatasaray.

The strength of Atletico Madrid and Dortmund is beyond doubt, and the Belgian giant Anderlecht has also been emerging new stars in recent years, and Galatasaray's home court advantage is their biggest reliance.The qualifying situation of this group is also hard to say.

The first seed in Group E is Bayern Munich, and the remaining three teams are Manchester City, Roma and CSKA Moscow.The biggest highlight of this group is the duel between Bayern, a veteran European team, and Manchester City, while Roma and CSKA Moscow, which are not weak, will play the role of spoilers.

In addition to the competitive level, this group has some other off-court stories.

According to gossip, the Arabs behind Manchester City are very dissatisfied with Pellegrini's coaching. They plan to invite a world-class coach to coach the team, and their first goal is Bayern coach Pep Guardiola. Manchester City has already been in contact with Guardiola in private, so there will definitely be some off-court stories in this Champions League meeting.

The first seed in Group F is Barcelona, ​​and the remaining three teams are Paris Saint-Germain, Ajax and APOEL.The newly-emerged Ligue [-] giants Paris Saint-Germain are currently very hot. They have bought Chelsea's Brazilian defender David Luiz this season, and they are still flirting with Real Madrid's Di Maria. It is said that they are also very interested in Barcelona's young striker Neymar. Interest, in short, money is capricious.The duel between Paris and Barcelona is also a collision of old and new forces.

The number one seed in Group G is Chelsea, and the remaining three teams are Schalke 04, Sporting Lisbon and Maribor.Chelsea have drawn a top pick, and their qualification should not be a problem.

The first seed in Group H is Porto, and the remaining three teams are Shakhtar Donetsk, Athletic Bilbao and Borisov.These three teams are also tied in strength, and the qualifying situation is unpredictable.

The next day, Kintag gave the players a day off to rest.However, Kintegger still did not stop his work. Today is the last day to submit the UEFA Champions League entry list. The maximum number of participants in the UEFA Champions League is 25, and Manchester United currently has 26 players in the first team. Except for Van Persie who is seriously injured and unable to play, it happens to be 25 people.Jin Taige reported the list, and he is full of expectations for the new season of the UEFA Champions League.

A few days later, on September 9, Manchester United will usher in the first game of the Champions League group stage, against Malmo at home.For Manchester United, this game is inevitable, not only to get three points, but also to get as many goal differences as possible, so that they can gain an advantage in the competition with Juventus for the first place in the group.

The Champions League is about to start, it's really exciting!
Kintag excitedly stood on the training ground, looking in the direction of the Old Trafford Stadium not far away, feeling overwhelmed.
