Chapter 635 I Have a Destiny with Real Madrid

After the game, news of Manchester City's [-]-[-] away victory over Liverpool became headlines throughout England.

Liverpool started with a two-game losing streak, and still started the league with two zero-to-three defeats, and also lost consecutively in two official games after Rogers took over Liverpool.

No one thought that after the coaching change, Liverpool looked weaker than last season.

The two consecutive defeats have put Rogers and his Liverpool at the forefront, and some gambling companies have even begun to offer Rogers a handicap for getting out of get out of class.

Less than two months after taking over Liverpool, Rodgers faced the crisis of dismissing get out of class.

This is the cruelty of competition. Losing is losing, winning is winning. Winner and loser.

The media listed Rogers' various mistakes. They raised various questions about Rogers' formation, tactical choices, substitutions, and even his on-the-spot demeanor. In such a public opinion environment, even if Rogers was fired by Liverpool, no one would be surprised.

Gao Bo felt quite sympathetic to Rodgers in his heart, because he took over a team with various problems. Although the two-game losing streak was due to bad luck, it actually had nothing to do with Rodgers-could Dalglish not be able to handle Liverpool's lineup last season.

And Gao Bo also knows that next season will be the pinnacle of Rodgers' coaching Liverpool, and he will find a way to knead Liverpool together.But now history has changed a lot, and Gao Bo doesn't know whether Rogers' life is tough enough to last until next season
After this round of the league, Gao Bo and Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano went to Monaco together.

At [-]:[-] pm local time on August [-]th, the draw ceremony for this season's UEFA Champions League group stage will be held at the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monaco.

Which team Manchester City will face in the Champions League group stage this season will be revealed after the draw ceremony.

However, before the draw ceremony, the 2011-2012 European best player (UEFA Best Player in Europe Award) award ceremony will be held first.

The award was formally established last year, and its intention is to restore the old European Footballer of the Year Award, the Ballon d'Or, to compete with the FIFA Ballon d'Or.After the first round of voting by journalists from 53 countries in Europe, Griezmann, Iniesta and Messi were among the top three voters, and the winner of the best player in Europe this time will also be among them.

Griezmann was undoubtedly selected as the top three by virtue of his performance at Atletico Madrid last season, while Iniesta was selected because Spain won the European Championship in this summer's European Cup.

The election of Messi is somewhat controversial. Many media, especially the French media, believe that Messi was elected by virtue of his "impression points". Although he was the La Liga Golden Boot last season, Barcelona only had one King's Cup last season. In terms of honor, Messi cannot compare with the other two players.

The reason why the French media are so enthusiastic about this award is naturally because Griezmann is very likely to be elected.

Iniesta is his most important opponent. Speaking of it, the weight of the Champions League champion and the European Cup champion may be different in the eyes of different people, but in general, the European Cup is a four-year competition after all, and the Champions League is held every year. Therefore, many people think that the weight of the European Cup is greater.

Therefore, when the award presenter announced that the winner was Iniesta, Gao Bo also applauded from the audience.

Griezmann is undoubtedly superior in terms of club results, but this year's European Cup, Griezmann's French team was eliminated early, so in terms of national team honors, Griezmann suffered a bit.

This award to Iniesta did not cause any controversy, and the next highlight was the draw ceremony of the Champions League.

According to UEFA's club points, the eight teams listed as seeded this time are Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Porto, Chelsea, and Atletico Madrid.

Among them, Atletico Madrid was automatically included as the seeded team as the champion of the Champions League last season. They squeezed out AC Milan, which ranked eighth in points. Although the Serie A giants ranked No.8 in points, they had to make way for the defending champion.

Of course, Manchester City's points are not enough for the teams in the first tier, and they are also in the second tier.

The draw ceremony began soon. The guest who was in charge of the draw ceremony for the first team was Manchester United star Dennis Law. He first drew the La Liga giants Real Madrid, and Real Madrid was placed in Group D.

And the second one he pulled out was Atletico Madrid. When Dennis Law opened the note, the live broadcast first gave Atletico Madrid a shot, Atletico Madrid's general manager Jill Marin, and their new head coach Simeone, and then gave Gao Bo a close-up shot of Manchester City.

However, both sides were expressionless, which made the media a little bit regretful.

The first tier was drawn quickly, and when the second tier was drawn, Manchester City was the first to be drawn out. When the draw started, Manchester City was going to be put into that group, and everyone was looking forward to it.

It would be fun if Manchester City and Atletico Madrid were drawn into the same group. However, the fact that everyone was disappointed, Manchester City was drawn into Group D.

They drew a group with Real Madrid.

Soon, the camera captured Real Madrid's reaction, and the corner of Ancelotti's mouth twitched slightly, which failed to escape the lens of the high-definition camera.

On the other hand, Gao Bo grinned slightly, looking like he wanted to smile, but soon he returned to a serious expressionless expression.

"Real Madrid and Manchester City are drawn together. Real Madrid will definitely think of Kobo's fear of being dominated when he was in La Liga. Gao Bo has never lost to Real Madrid in La Liga. This time the team he led has become Manchester City. Real Madrid does not know whether it can succeed in revenge."

"It's Real Madrid again. The team that Kobo has played against the most in the past few seasons must have a place for Real Madrid. I guess he has faced Real Madrid so many times that he feels like throwing up."

"Looking at the expressions on both sides, Gao Bo must want to laugh now, because to some extent, Real Madrid is one of his favorite opponents, and Ancelotti's team may have a headache now how to deal with Manchester City."

The narrators talked a lot.

The draw ceremony ended quickly, and Manchester City's opponents in the Champions League came out soon.

They were drawn into a group with Real Madrid, Ajax and Celtic.

This is a relatively normal group. Ajax and Celtic have certain strengths, but their strength is not enough to pose a threat to Manchester City and Real Madrid.

People generally believe that Manchester City and Real Madrid will be the two teams that can qualify in the forecast of this group. The key lies in which of these two teams can occupy the first place in the group!

In the media interview after the draw ceremony, a reporter asked Gao Bo how he felt about meeting Real Madrid again.

Gao Bo said with a smirk: "Maybe I have a destiny with Real Madrid."
