The king of green grass lore

Chapter 21 Group of Death
Of the [-] teams, [-] of them successfully broke through the first round and will be divided into eight groups for a single round-robin match.

Four games, two home and two away, decided by lottery.

A total of 8 teams from the top three teams in the group and the third-placed teams in the 3 groups of the Champions League will participate in the knockout stage. .

Because they just played a game yesterday, the team watched the draw ceremony together after a simple recovery training.

Before the ceremony began, Burzic said: "We are the fifth team, no matter which group we are in, we will go through a series of hard battles, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"No matter who you meet, kill them, for the bonus!" Burzic continued to boost morale.

"Kill all opponents and win the championship!" Everyone shouted wildly.

Burzic nodded with satisfaction, got up and left, so as not to make everyone feel uncomfortable.

After the head coach left, Despotovich asked, "Lin, which group do you want us to be in?"

"Whatever, the top 32 will still be drawn anyway." Lin Xiu replied.

"You're going to lead us no matter who we meet, right?" Tadic asked.

"Of course, there are a lot of bonuses." Lin Xiu made a pun.

"Tch, the club is still stingy. I heard that the club has received many sponsors from China. The club must earn more than us."

"Stop complaining. Without Lin, we wouldn't be able to reach the group stage, let alone get a dime."

"Yeah, twice the salary, it's beautiful when you think about it, thanks to Lin Geli."

"I thought we should ask for more Lin's autographs now. When he becomes the World Cup Golden Boot and sells it, he will definitely earn more than the bonus."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find notebooks and pens.

"I think you should give me half of the sale, because I am the one who worked hard." Lin Xiu smiled while signing.

"That's impossible, are you embarrassed to sell it yourself?" Burkić retorted.

"Why not? As long as you can make money!" Lin Xiu snorted coldly.

In the middle of the fun, the lottery ceremony began.

When they saw Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga, Bolton from the Premier League and Fiorentina from the Serie A out of Group F, everyone laughed unkindly.

"The majestic giants have been reduced to playing in the UEFA Cup. He deserves to encounter a series of powerful enemies."

"Yeah, the wages of anyone in Bayern is higher than that of our team, and it is their own fault for falling into the UEFA Cup."

"I don't know who the fourth team is."

The fourth team came out soon, Israel's Tel Aviv Hapoel, and everyone continued to laugh unkindly.

"Look, their manager's face is pale."

"It must have collapsed, and if there is no one, it must be crying."

"It's so miserable, so miserable."

When the draw started for the fifth-tier team, everyone stopped laughing and prayed seriously.

As long as you avoid group F, other groups are fine.

However, after Group E was drawn, the faces of the teammates turned pale.

There are only three teams left, and the probability of one-third is quite high.

"God forbid, not us."

While rambling, he pulled it out.

"Vojvodina~"

Hearing the name, Malkovich's legs went limp and he almost fell to the ground.

It's over, I will definitely be scolded to death when I go back, this luck is too bad!The general manager who drew lots on behalf of the team wanted to cry.

"Fake, when you come back, you must deduct your wages!" Kaluziski scolded viciously.

"Bayern, Bolton, Fiorentina... the group stage is too difficult, I can only hope that Lin will continue to play well." Burzic looked bitter.

Five teams, three strong teams from the five major leagues, is really too difficult.

"No matter who the opponent is in the group, as long as we play normally, we must be No. 1 to qualify." Beckenbauer, the emperor of German football and one of the three giants of Bayern, expressed his confidence immediately.

Uli Hoeness, one of the Big Three, also talked to reporters: "We don't care who is in the group. From the beginning to the end, our goal is to be the champion."

At the club, Tadic stammered: "Lin, you can take us through, right?"

"Of course!" Lin Xiu expressed confidence and said, "Bolton and Fiorentina are no better than Atletico Madrid and Everton, we have a good chance.

Bayern are of course the favourites, but if fame and strength on paper determine the outcome of a football game, why not just give him the trophy? "

"That's right, what Lin said is right!" Burzic walked in clapping and said, "Everyone must have confidence, we don't necessarily have to compete for the first place in the group, the third can qualify as well.

We have Lin, Fiorentina and Bolton will not be a hindrance.

Of course, relying on Lin alone is not enough. All of us must cheer up and contribute our own strength. "

"Okay~" Everyone answered weakly.

Obviously, he didn't recover from the bad news of the group of death.

The good news is that the two home games are against Florence and Hapoel Tel Aviv. At least there is no need to fly to Israel in the Middle East to eat sand.

Lin Xiu in the club was barely holding on, while the outsiders were extremely pessimistic.

For example, Politico directly asserted: Vojvodina's UEFA Cup journey will stop at the group stage, and Group F must be Bayern, Bolton and Fiorentina to qualify together.

The major media in the UK and Italy agreed that Group F is not a good group, but it is not a death group, because Vojvodina and Tel Aviv Hapoel will give away points.

It is understandable that the Italian media are still immersed in the glory of the "Little World Cup" and despise Vojvodina, but the reports of the British media are incomprehensible.

Everton was kicked twice 5:4, how strong can Bolton be?
"What arrogance and prejudice!" Moyes shook his head, pushed open the door of Chairman Bill Kenwright's office, and asked, "Sir, how do you think about my proposal?"

"2000 million to buy a young player, David, this is too risky." Ken Wright said: "Why don't we wait until winter?"

Everton is actually not a big club, and they are very careful in spending money. Moyes brought the club into the European theater without spending much money. Of course, the management is very satisfied, even if it is eliminated by unknown people.

"When the UEFA Cup group stage is over, Bayern, Fiorentina and Bolton will definitely join the competition. At that time, 2000 million can't be done.

Let's make a move now, knock Vojvodina unconscious and sign the contract, even if we come back next summer. "

"Which young man do you like very much?"

"Of course, otherwise why spend so much money? You should have heard that Real Madrid is running Manchester United's Ronaldo, which is estimated to be tens of millions, and I think Lin will reach this worth.

If you sell now, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future, which will definitely be enough for us to use for several years. "

Kenwright hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't you give the 1000 million offer a try first?"

"Don't try it, it's in place at once, and Vojvodina will be knocked out..."

Moyes was still persuading Mr. Chairman, and Lin Xiu silently started a new round of training.

It was another match day for the national team. Although Yang Ming posted everywhere expressing Lin Xiu's desire to play, no one came to contact him. What would he do if he didn't train?
