I am Chuqiu Wang

Chapter 116 Group of Death
Originally, a big victory was a happy thing, but Metz was full of worries.

Even those first-team players who have already married have returned to the team to watch the Europa League draw with their teammates.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the UEFA Europa League draw ceremony is just beginning at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

At this time, the UEFA Cup has not been merged with the Intertoto Cup to reorganize the UEFA Europa League. A total of 40 teams have entered the UEFA Cup knockout stage through league rankings, domestic cups, Intertoto Cups and fair play awards.

The 40 teams will be divided into 8 groups for competition, each group has 5 teams.

Because there are so many teams, there will not be two rounds of matches, but a single game of fighting against each other. After 4 rounds, the top two will enter the knockout stage. Although the selection of two out of five is cruel, there is no third place in the Champions League group. In the Europa League, at least you don't have to face those giants who are not performing well in the Champions League. Otherwise, it will be a huge test to meet the giants who are not performing well in the Champions League just after qualifying.

This season's Europa League final will be held in Manchester, not at Old Trafford, but at the Manchester City Stadium, which is also Manchester City's home stadium.

There are more teams participating in the UEFA Cup than the UEFA Champions League, but the gap between them is not as big as the UEFA Champions League, so the competition is often more tragic. The small bonuses of the Europa League are full of temptations for many small leagues, especially Eastern European teams. , They will always show a desperate attitude.

This season's UEFA Cup, Bayern Munich's strength is unsurpassed, and there are also strong teams such as Leverkusen, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, Villarreal, Atletico Madrid, Fiorentina, Hamburg and so on. All contenders for the championship.

However, Wang Hao clearly remembers that none of these teams won the championship, and the final winner should be a team outside the five major leagues.

"Alai, I'm so nervous."

Seeing that the draw started, Pjanic couldn't help but grabbed Wang He's arm and said.

Wang Huo knocked off his hand: "According to the points in the European competition, we are in the last tier, and the result will not be very good no matter what."

"But the teams in the first few gears are always strong and weak. I still hope to meet a weaker team."

"Alai, who do you want us to meet?" It was Li Weifeng who spoke. In order to practice French, he even used the French name when he called Wang Xie, which would also facilitate his teammates to participate in the conversation.

"Ok?"

The eight first seeded teams are Everton, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Hamburg, Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Getafe, Fiorentina.

Perhaps the best bully here is Getafe?
Now Moyes is still high-spirited in Everton, they often put on a good show of Lian Ke, although this team has no super talent after Wayne Rooney transferred to Manchester United, but their players are still good, and they are famous Small but capable players, plus Moyes himself has been built for several years, Everton is by no means an easy opponent to deal with.

After Torres left Anfield, Atletico Madrid signed the South American super talent Aguero. Although they have not yet become the third pole of La Liga at this time, their strength is not weak. In addition, Aguero is so capable. Players who change the direction of the game are also not easy to deal with.

As for the "King of the North" Hamburg, their captain Van der Vaart is an out-and-out talented player. The offensive line formed by him, Berisha and others is very powerful. At the end, he was spotted by Real Madrid.

There is nothing to say about Leverkusen. They have always been a strong team in the Bundesliga. After a few years in the Sanya Kings, they lost their original energy, but their strength should not be underestimated.

Not to mention Bayern, they failed to qualify for the Champions League at the end of last season, but as long as they have no problem with their brains, they will not think it is easy to deal with. They are the biggest favorites to win the Europa League this season.

Florence has stars such as Mutu and Montolivo. Compared with ordinary Italian teams, the midfield organization is more delicate. Coupled with the standard Italian defensive model, they are definitely capable of competing for the championship.

Although Getafe has always been the "receiver" of Real Madrid's youth players, they may be the best bullies here.

Wang Wei thought about it and gave his own answer: "I think Getafe, Basel, AEK, and Legia Warsaw should be the best group."

Other Metz players agree.

Metz was drawn into Group B, a veritable group of death.

There are Atletico Madrid, Malaga, Alkmaar, and Red Star Belgrade in the same group. None of these teams is easy to deal with. After a while, all 8 groups in the Europa League were drawn.

Group A: Everton (England), Nurnberg (Germany), Borisov (Belarus), Lokomotiv Moscow (Russia), Panathinaiko (Greece).

Group B: Atletico Madrid (Spain), Tottenham Hotspur (England), Red Star Belgrade (Serbia), Alkmaar (Netherlands), Metz (France).

Group C: Villarreal (Spain), Zenit St Petersburg (Russia), Aberdeen (Scotland), AEK (Greece), Elfsborg (Sweden).

Group D: Hamburg (Germany), Basel (Switzerland), Rosenborg (Norway), Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia), Rennes (France).

Group E: Bayer Leverkusen (Germany), Spartak Moscow (Russia), Zurich (Switzerland), Sparta Prague (Czech Republic), Toulouse (France).

Group F: Bayern Munich (Germany), Malaga (Spain), Bolton (England), Ares Thessaloniki (Greece), Levski Sofia (Bulgaria).

Group G: Getafe (Spain), Anderlecht (Belgium), Aalborg (Denmark), Tel Aviv Workers (Israel), Legia Warsaw (Poland).

Group H: Florence (Italy), Galatasaray (Turkey), Helsingborg (Sweden), Rapid Vienna (Austria), Braga (Portugal).

This result made the Metz team howl. Group G is the weakest group. Although they did not meet the mighty Bayern Munich, there is no one in the same group to bully.Atletico Madrid is not weak, and Tottenham Hotspur is one of the best in the second tier. As for the Belgrade Red Star team, they have been a super giant since Yugoslavia. Even if the former Yugoslavia is now disintegrated, the Serbian players are still strong enough. Alkmaar is probably the easiest of the group to deal with.

Even Pierre, who didn't have much hope for the UEFA Cup, scolded his mother for a while after seeing this grouping.Although he never thought of making achievements in the UEFA Cup, losing all four games is an unbearable pain!
The atmosphere in the tactical room was so bad that Wang Hao couldn't help frowning.

"Hey guys!"

As the captain of the team, he must stand up at this time: "Our luck is really bad. Every team in this group has a strong strength. They all come from big football countries, but is this a problem?"

"Can Tottenham or Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid? I don't think so, but Lyon can win Real Madrid, and we won Lyon. Can anyone tell me that through this simple win-loss relationship, it can be converted What happened?"

Wang Huo stood in front with his hands behind his back, looking like an old pedant.

"So we are stronger than Real Madrid?"

asked Pjanic, rubbing his bald head.

"Bingo, but there is no reward. In simple terms, we are stronger than Real Madrid, so it is the other opponents that should be afraid, not us."

"But not long after we were bloodbathed by Leon..."

Pjanic's muttering made the atmosphere in the tactical room that had just improved become cold again. If the whole team wasn't there, Wang Hao would definitely have to fix this bastard.

But his teammates are all here, and he can't go too far, so he can only pinch his nose to admit it, and silently write down a note for Pjanic in his heart, just fuck your mouth.

"Thinking about last season's French Cup, Bordeaux has enough points in the European war. If they enter the Europa League, their points will even be ranked relatively high in the first tier. But where are they now? I don’t know, but I can be sure that they must not be in the mood to watch the Europa League draw.”

Wang Xuan changed another angle to encourage his teammates: "This kind of grouping is also very good. If we are lucky enough, we will not encounter strong teams all the way to the final. Since we can win the French Cup, we will also win the Europa League." Nothing is impossible."

Win the Europa League?
Most of the Metz players felt that Wang He was talking nonsense, but they also understood what Wang He meant, so they didn't point it out.

However, Li Weifeng, who understood Wang Xie's words with the help of a translator, didn't think so. Just like what Wang Xie said, if luck is better and the teams you meet after qualifying for the group are not strong, then you can make it to the final or even win the final. The Europa League is not out of the question.

He knows that getting out of the group is a problem in itself. Even if they get out, they will be second in the group, and they will definitely be the top teams in other groups. The possibility of those teams from small countries getting the first place in the group is very small. After qualifying, they should also encounter a wealthy team.

But he just couldn't help fantasizing that Metz can win the French Cup in the second division, and it seems that it is not impossible to win the Europa League after being promoted to the first division.Originally, he hoped that it would be good to win the French Cup or the French League Cup this time in Europe, but Wang Hao's words gave him fantasy. If he can win the Europa League, then those French domestic cups are nothing.

Many fans look down on the Europa League when they are boastful, but many first-class players have not been able to win a European championship in their entire careers. Ruud van Nistelrooy, runner-up collector Ballack, etc., are all One of the best players in the world at that time, but none of them could win a European championship. Even if there is a Europa League, their careers will have a lot of regrets.

Li Weifeng also thinks the same way, if he can really win the Europa League, he can retire directly, then he will become the first European champion in Chinese history.

Li Weifeng looked at Wang Huo who was standing in front.

Well, tied for first place...

……

Those who can stay up until the second half of the night are basically diehard fans.

As soon as the Europa League group came out, there was also a burst of wailing in the post bar.

"Damn, what kind of bullshit grouping is this, is UEFA going to get rid of Metz?"

"Metz is at the bottom of the group. Alkmaar and Red Star Belgrade are not easy to deal with. Atletico Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur are the middle and upper reaches of the five major leagues."

"This grouping is really difficult. Except for Tottenham, the other teams have good skills. Metz likes to play in a high position and meet a team with a good pass. It may not be effective."

"We can only pin our hopes on Wang Ji."

"It must be no problem. As long as Wang Yu is here, Metz will not be afraid of anyone. They met so many Ligue [-] teams in the French Cup last season, and they still won the championship. Pressing doesn't work, so don't scare people in front of you."

"Yes, my husband never disappoints."

"I found a beauty who stayed up late, beauty, add a QQ?"

"If you say she is a beautiful woman, she is a beautiful woman. It started without seeing the photos."

There are many female fans who pay attention to Wang Xie, and Wang Xie also indirectly benefits the domestic male compatriots. In front of those girls who do not understand the rules of football, they have a lot of opportunities to perform.

But this kind of fans who can stay up late to watch the Europa League draw is definitely not the kind of female fans who don't understand anything.

The appearance of Wang Huo still caused a lot of influence, the biggest influence is that it attracted a group of female fans, and these female fans drove a lot of boys. Recently, recently, there are often girls playing in the game Then I ran to watch the football. Those boys who were desperately licking in a series of online games such as "Dream" and "Running" naturally joined the ranks of watching football in order to create a common topic. More and more new fans entered the pit. The environment is much better than before.

There have been Chinese players who have landed in Europe before, but there has never been one as young and talented as Wang He.

The core players of Ligue [-] and the youngest captain of the five major European leagues are all won by actual strength. The core position shows Wang He's role in the game, and the captain's armband proves Wang He's influence.

Whether on or off the field, Wang Hao is very good.

He is so good that people can't help but look forward to what kind of height he will reach in the future.

Even though Metz is in the group of death, many fans still believe that Wang He will lead Metz to create miracles.

……

"Alai, a new start." "L'Equipe" has never concealed its appreciation for Wang Xie.

"Appearing in the shadow forward position for two consecutive games, Allais' performance is still eye-catching."

"Allais played in the midfielder position before. He worked hard enough, but his talent was limited in the midfielder position, because he often had to take care of the defense. In many cases, Allais was pressed in the backcourt and could not move. Pierre took over After Metz’s first team, he quickly changed Metz’s formation to 442, which made everyone confused. When Allais returned from injury, we found out that Pierre was preparing for Allais. After Allais position was advanced , He poses a greater threat to the opponent's goal, lack of confrontation and poor shooting ability are his weaknesses, but the flaws do not conceal the advantages. Compared with the midfielder, I am more optimistic about the development of Allais in this position."

Zhang Chiming watched the game on the spot and knew how well Wang Ji performed, but he still couldn't help being envious.

If "L'Equipe" praised how good he is, this is the most professional sports newspaper in Europe. If it was the front page of "L'Equipe" last time, among other things, at least Dad would look at him with admiration, right?
Looking further down, it is the grouping of the Europa League. Zhang Chiming also watched the grouping of the Europa League in the dormitory yesterday, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Metz would be more or less ominous.

This group is so fucked up.

What about Wang Xie, what will Wang Xie do?
With his character, I'm afraid he won't give up...

　Finally, I was not busy years ago, but my friend came back, not long after I got home, fortunately I used my mobile phone to code during the day.
