Chapter 173 UEFA's Trick
Mourinho, who was standing with his arms folded on the sidelines, was very grateful to bring Chen Xiao to Chelsea this summer. Chen Xiao's joining can be said to be the last and most important part of Chelsea's championship lineup. He made Chelsea's lineup truly have the embryonic form of total attack and defense, which is what Mourinho hopes to see.

Shortly after Chen Xiao rewritten the score on the field to 2-0, Mourinho chose to replace Chen Xiao with Joe Cole.

After the game restarted, although Liverpool still seemed to be attacking crazily, they no longer had the courageous momentum they had before, so this kind of attack ended up being a lot of thunder and little rain.

The two teams did not score again in the remaining time, and finally when stoppage time came, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

In the fourth round of the Premier League, Chelsea defeated Liverpool 2-0 away, winning four consecutive victories.

第4轮联赛战罢，切尔西以4战全胜积12分排在了积分榜的首位，曼联也是同样积12分不过因为净胜球的原因排在了第二位，阿森纳以3胜1平积10分排在第三。

At the same time, Chen Xiao continued to dominate the scorer list with 4 goals in 9 rounds. Rooney ranked second with 5 goals, and Ronaldo with 4 goals ranked third. The first competition between Ronaldo and Chen Xiao, who is as young as Chen Xiao, appeared in the Premier League in the 05-06 season.

After the match against Liverpool, the Chelsea team returned to London overnight.

After returning home, because the whole team will have a day off tomorrow, Chen Xiaozhai stayed in his den. In addition to talking on the phone with Liu Yifei to relieve his lovesickness, Chen Xiao also watched this season's UEFA Champions League group match draw ceremony via live broadcast at night.

That night in Monaco, Pele and Zidane, as guests, drew out the grouping of 32 teams in each group. First, according to the Champions League points, Juventus, Arsenal, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Inter Milan were placed in the first tier. The subsequent selection of the second tier of teams was seriously related to the qualifying of each team, because this time there are several teams in the second tier that other teams do not want to meet, that is, Bayern and Chelsea. No matter which group they are assigned to, It is indeed a headache. Mourinho has been sitting there calmly looking at the guests on the stage. Mourinho has a premonition in his heart that Chelsea may encounter a very difficult start to the Champions League this time.

In the second gear, with Beckham and Ronaldo's hands drawn out, Bayern was sent to Group A to get together with Juventus. After the result came out, Juventus general manager Moggi's face turned dark all of a sudden, and Bayern's side didn't look too good.However, when Chelsea were placed in the same group as Liverpool in Group G, there were gloating exclamations on the scene. Originally, according to the rules of the Champions League, the same league should be avoided, but because Liverpool entered the play-offs because they won the Champions League last season.

With the withdrawal of teams from the third and fourth tiers, Mourinho's face in the audience was so black that he couldn't get any darker. His first Champions League trip in Chelsea was directly raised to the difficulty of hell by UEFA, and he also made a lot of gimmicks.

Because Mainz, who entered the Champions League for the first time, was assigned to Group G in the fourth tier. Now Group G is full of highlights. Enemies in the same league, the battle of revenge, the old club, etc. are fully played by UEFA.

To be honest, seeing such a result, no one would believe that there was no black box operation.

In the end, the grouping of the top 32 was completed, and the result was that some were happy and some were sad.

Group A: Juventus, Bayern Munich, Club Brugge, Rapid Vienna, so after the end of the third and fourth gears, Juventus and Bayern, who were originally dark-faced, turned cloudy again.

Group B: Arsenal, Ajax, Thun, Sparta Prague, this group is strong and weak, Wenger's face is full of smiles.

Group C: Barcelona, ​​Werder Bremen, Udinese, Panathinaikos, no accident Barcelona should come out on top.

Group D: Manchester United, Villarreal, Lille, Benfica, Ferguson squinted at Mourinho who was not far away from him, with four words "gloating!"

Group E: AC Milan, PSV, Betis, Fenerbahce.The same strong and weak.

Group F: Real Madrid, Lyon, Rosenborg, Olympiacos, this season's Champions League UEFA obviously gave La Liga very preferential treatment.

Group G: Liverpool, Chelsea, Mainz, Porto, the head coaches and general managers of the four teams are really gloomy at the moment. If this is private, the UEFA officials in charge of the schedule will probably be torn apart by the four.

Group H: Inter Milan, Rangers, Anderlecht, Pesaka.

The group stage of this season will officially start on September 9th. The top two in each of the 15 groups will enter the knockout round. After the draw results, almost everyone focused on the four teams in Group G. Group G has also been called the real group of death in this UEFA Champions League by the outside media, and the grievances between these four teams can be called a blockbuster, attracting everyone's attention. Old clubs such as Chen Xiao VS Mainz and Mourinho VS Porto have earned enough fans. Eyeballs, coupled with the just-concluded fourth round of the Premier League, Chelsea defeated Liverpool away, the revenge battle is another gimmick.

Chen Xiao, who watched the entire draw ceremony at home, was also speechless at UEFA's shameless approach, but Chen Xiao also understood these. The reason why the Champions League is the most important game in Europe is because UEFA will artificially create these highlights every year, and then vigorously publicize them to attract the attention of fans.

No matter what, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and the next thing is to prepare for the battle.

For his first trip to the Champions League, Chen Xiao still hopes to leave his own mark.

After a day's rest, the Chelsea team assembled again to start a new round of preparations. Chen Xiao's schedule this month was relatively tight. In addition to participating in the league and the Champions League, Chen Xiao had to return to China to participate in the World Cup qualifiers.Therefore, after discussion, Mourinho did not arrange for Chen Xiao to enter the squad for the League Cup and FA Cup at all. This is also to reduce Chen Xiao's burden as much as possible.
