football's most handsome

Chapter 98 The Group Stage Draw

Of course, what Frank said was just his own thoughts. After the last few rounds of competition in Deportivo, almost everyone got a chance to play. It can be said that everyone has proved their ability, no matter Be it a veteran or a minor.

Facing such a lineup, not to mention La Liga, the giants of the entire football world are coveting them. Who knows if the stingy and money-minded chairman of Deportivo will become obsessed for a while and give Deportivo Sell ​​a few future stars.

——After all, at the end of last season, this person made the decision to sell the entire club short.

But there is still a long time before the winter window, at least as far as Juan is concerned, for now, their team has nothing to pay attention to.

If it is necessary to have one...it must be because of the problem of personnel supply.

After the end of the game with the Spaniard, Deportivo will get a relatively short rest time, at least until the start of the next round, they are all relaxed.

But starting from the next round of competition, they will have to make a series of changes, all because of a two-day ceremony——

David Louis finally plucked up the courage and quietly approached his Brazilian senior. Baba laughed twice: "Senior, is there something important going to happen recently?"

Romario looked up, and subconsciously gave Pompons a head. He didn't expect that he would be treated like this by the big brother, covering his head and squatting down. He raised his head and looked at him with tears in his eyes. Romario Ao looked at the height difference between the two of them now, and nodded in satisfaction; "What did you just say?"

Pengpeng swallowed the blood and tears with tears, and raised his head: "Boss, is something going to happen recently?"

Romario thought for a while, then shook his head sincerely: "It's nothing serious, what's the matter?"

"Is it really no big deal?" Pompons blinked his eyes and looked at him longingly, "Are you sure?"

"...What the hell are you trying to say?!" Romario suddenly felt like he was ten years younger. This state of gnashing his teeth and wanting to hit someone was only available when he was young.

"I just want to say that Juan didn't appear on the sidelines today..." This is really an unusual thing for Deportivo, after all, their young coach will try to appear on the sidelines no matter what time it is The one who urged them, even on the second day after the injury, he still stood there firmly.

But today!Juan Diaz wasn't on the sidelines!

This is simply an incredible thing! !

"Oh, speaking of it..." Romario thought for a while, as if he remembered something: "There seems to be something recently..."

"What what?" David Louis' eyes lit up all of a sudden.

"Of course it's the draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage." Romario sighed, "It's about this time."

Pompons jumped up immediately, lively: "Champions League!!"

Romario was taken aback by the young man, and glared at him several times: "What are you doing, you look like you have never seen the world?!"

The Brazilian guy rubbed his head and laughed: "Boss, I really haven't seen it before!"

Romario is an old man, so he immediately understood what he meant. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the child several times, until the child felt a little embarrassed before speaking: "Pengpeng, I didn't expect you to have such great ambitions... ..."

"Ah?" The Brazilian kid was immediately dumbfounded. He was just yearning and curious about the Champions League group stage. Why did he become ambitious?

Hearing the movement here, Redondo who was not far away also looked over, and Romario was unmoved: "Why don't you have big ambitions? How old are you and you want to go to the UEFA Champions League group stage draw?"

The kid touched his head again, very dazed: "This...isn't it okay?"

"Of course not." Romario sighed, "The UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony is not just a random draw between several teams, it is actually a secret competition among major clubs... the draw of each club At that time, the people brought by the coach must be the best talents in the club, do you understand me when I say that?"

"Oh!" Pompons patted his thigh, "So every coach will take his favorite player to draw lots!"

"That's right..." Romario almost sighed, "You still want to go?"

"Of course I want to go!" Puff replied loudly, his eyes sparkling.

Romario and Redondo looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Bah, it's better to take me with you." David Silva also heard what he said, and retorted subconsciously. As a result, the two bosses of the team looked over, their eyes were simply Bright eyes.

Feeling that he said something terrible, David Silva opened his mouth, turned his head and wanted to run, but was suppressed by Pengpeng who rushed over in an instant.

"Why take you and not me?! Why?!"

The two boys began to roll around on the grass again, and a group of people around laughed and watched the daily rolling, Belleron also watched and laughed, and Redondo patted him on the shoulder after noticing him: "Are you going? ?”

"It depends on the situation." Belleron replied calmly. Although generally speaking, he was the one who took the lead, but that was also when Deportivo had no star players who could show their hands in the past.

——If you want to bring it, Juan must bring Redondo or Romario for better results.

As a result, when Juan walked out of his office, there was already a commotion on the court, and several big shots stood on the side of the court to watch the excitement, with relaxed expressions.

……What's going on here?

When Juan walked over, the field finally noticed his approach and greeted them one after another. The two children parted panting, and the young coach of Laco couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"There's nothing wrong with them!" Redondo presciently intercepted the words of this young man with a strange brain circuit.

"Okay." Juan changed the subject with some regret, "Then what are you doing now?"

"We are competing for the place to go to the UEFA Champions League group stage draw!" Puff yelled energetically, and David Silva raised his head in a mess, stunned.

What the hell? !

He and Pengpeng fought for a while, but it turned out that they were arguing about this thing? !

David Silva is naturally not as stupid as a South American player. He understands the twists and turns clearly. When he thinks that he is actually fighting a big man because of this, he wants to bury himself inside……

"What's the matter, what's the problem?" Pompons' face was full of bewilderment, never expecting that he hadn't figured out the reason behind it, Romario sighed deeply.

"The thing is... it's better to take me or Fernando Redondo than to take you, understand?"

The Brazilian teenager slapped his head and suddenly realized: "That means I have to fight with you two to be eligible to go?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole garden was silent. Juan coughed lightly, turned around and left without saying hello, and the surrounding players immediately scattered away, as if they were about to go to normal training and couldn't see this place Seeing the situation, Pompons looked left and right, touched his head and started to giggle, but before he could say anything, Romario patted him on the shoulder with a very kind smile.

"Boy, you are very brave."

"???"

After that, Juan said that he didn't hear any wailing sound coming from that direction...

After today's training, regarding the question of "Who will be taken in the UEFA Champions League group stage draw" that everyone is very concerned about, the little coach of Deportivo kept a very indifferent attitude as if he didn't know everyone's urgency. After a few days, even Belleron, who was the least concerned at first, became curious.

Why didn't Juan say who he was going to take?

To be honest, no matter which one of them goes, the others will be very envious!Especially the teenagers headed by David Luiz have always cared about him.

After all, no matter what, this represents a major event in La Coruña!

But on that day, they were all disappointed. Originally, they thought that Juan would take someone with him anyway. Romario, Redondo, and Belleron were the first choices, but the result disappointed them all.

Juan chose to take his assistant coach Allen.

Regarding Juan's situation of selecting personnel within the coaching team, Deportivo will have a broken tooth, especially David Luiz. When he watched the draw that night, he wanted to stuff his head into the TV. , It's better to go to the scene!

"Okay, okay, calm down Puffy." Seeing that the Brazilian boy was about to cry, Thiago Silva was also very helpless, and half-coaxed and half-coaxed people to be quieter.

... He was so envious of Diego Forlan next door, having such a quiet roommate.

However, even in the next door, Messi and Fran were talking while waiting to watch the live broadcast. After waiting for a long time, the live broadcast was finally about to start, and the admission situation began to be broadcast on the field.

Among a bunch of grandparents, their young coach of Deportivo de La Coruña is as bright as a light bulb, especially his hair color is still so light, which is the easiest to attract everyone's attention.

When he appeared in the camera, everyone couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

The young coach of La Coruña seemed to be injured before, but now he has removed the bandages and gauze, and there is a pink scar on his snow-white neck. Ann wears a high-necked shirt in summer.

The pink scar was looming between the collar of the shirt, and half of it was completely hidden under the collar, making one want to unbutton his button to see what it looked like inside.

Such a walking hormone is standing here, and he is here to flirt with girls. The people around him are quite in line with the temperament of this coach meeting...

Allen is also suffering and can't tell. He has never heard of bringing his own assistant coach at this time. After all, most people bring their own captain, their own head star, etc. The long face is the most important thing!

Like Real Madrid!Bringing his own star Raul!

Juan and Allen opened their mouths at the same time, falling into silence.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Raul, they wouldn't dare to think that the uncle in a suit and leather shoes with black-rimmed glasses is the coach of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's coaches have been changed too frequently. Since Juan left in September 03, Real Madrid has changed two coaches in total, one is Queiroz and the other is Camacho. Their terms are five respectively. months, and six months...

This is the third person.

García Ramon, the new coach of Real Madrid just changed, came to participate in the draw for the Champions League group stage less than a week after taking office, and I don't know whether it is bad luck or luck...

Originally, he wanted to say hello to Raul, but when he saw that the coach beside him didn't seem to be easy to get along with, Juan turned around and left. To be honest, the person he wanted to chat with even came today!

He searched the field for a long time before he finally saw an old man who was talking loudly behind a row of pillars. Ferguson smiled with a red face, as if he was in good spirits on happy occasions. Of course Juan knew that the situation of Manchester United was gratifying recently. Cristiano It seems that he has gradually settled down and is rapidly integrating into the Manchester United system. His biggest problem is about to be solved. What else is there not to be happy about?

Juan actually wants to have a good talk with the old man. They can talk about the use of tactical concepts, and they can also talk about team building. Of course, that’s what Juan thinks about. In the past, those who surrounded Ferguson over there were all people with a strong history in coaching. He is still not qualified to go now.

However, it seems that the lord didn't think so, the lord saw him almost at a glance, and after noticing his hesitation, he yelled directly: "Juan!"

Facing the beckoning of the Sir, Juan was embarrassed for a moment, and quickly walked over and lowered his head: "My Lord, long time no see."

"It's been a long time. Your boy is doing very well these days." Sir Alex patted his head and laughed. In all fairness, at Juan's age, he would definitely not be able to do what he is doing now.

Collecting money for the team, leading the team to go undefeated, hiring a few big men who are about to retire and Dan Xiongfeng is still there, and buying a few little demons who are almost promising. It's not surprising that the class is on any coach present, but it's quite unbelievable to put it on the 22-year-old youth in front of him.

And it all happened. If this is shit luck, then this shit is too big!

"You teach well." Juan smiled at the lord. He always kept his handsome face when he came over, and he didn't know what to say at this time.

"By the way, about your tactic..." Sir Alex suddenly remembered something, and his eyes lit up, and he grabbed Juan's hand and wanted to discuss it with him, but now they are standing in the backstage, and everyone will Go to the front and sit down together, waiting for the lottery ceremony to start.

And at this time, no one can run away.

Juan was still able to hide for a while, and he brought a teaching assistant—only at this time did he show his sinister intentions, but when he heard Juan say this, Sir Alex sighed half ashamedly and half helplessly.

"I took Fonny."

Juan nodded clearly, and he also knew that Cristiano is not good enough to replace Ruud van Nistelrooy at Manchester United: "What about others?"

"It seems to be running to find Rijkaard, the Dutchman." Ferguson shook his head casually, not caring about the connection, and he didn't seem to think that their Manchester United striker went to Barcelona's coach. something is wrong...

Juan could only express his admiration for such a big-hearted behavior of Sir Alex.

In fact, these two people thought about it before the group stage was approaching, and they must not meet Deportivo/Manchester United-this is not to say that they are afraid of the opponent's strength, or deliberately put water or something, they just simply I hope the opponent can go farther, and then the two sides can meet in the final!

When it comes to the finals, the two sides will be the real king against king, general against general, and then we can have a full-fledged match!

Ferguson is also very moved by Juan's monstrous learning ability. He knows that some people are natural coaches, and he also knows that some people are legends when they were players. It can bring the dead back to life.

He used to think that this kind of person was just cheating. After all, people like Ancelotti who were very good in the player era and the coaching era were rare, and it was after years of accumulated experience.

He has never been directly promoted to the La Liga coach like this little kid, and then won seven consecutive victories, which is simply unreasonable.

Juan didn't know what Ferguson was thinking at this moment, he looked at the situation ahead, lowered his head and smiled: "Grandpa, we seem to be entering the arena."

"Oh, then let's go." The old Scottish man smiled, and the two walked in side by side. They were also speaking in very peculiar accents. People around wanted to hear a few words, but the Scottish flavor His English is so intoxicating that non-British coaches ignore it even if they don’t listen to it, and British coaches completely give up after listening to a few words.

——What kind of accent is this Nima? !

The terrible thing is that the two people are still very close to each other, and the communication between the two of them is still not over. When the host announced the start and the president of UEFA began to read the oath and make the usual speech, the two were reluctantly quiet. down.

The lottery started, and four transparent basins were placed on the workbench, each containing eight balls, and the ones selected for the draw were usually celebrities and superstars from previous years. Juan and Ferguson didn't care who the drawers were, they just Concerned about whether they will be so unlucky, they will meet in the group stage.

The lottery began, and the staff put their hands into the basin and stirred it.

Juan heard the old man beside him snort coldly, and then said in a low voice: "Actually, there is a way here, and the lottery is not fair... This is simply a magic trick in front of the public and before the TV media."

For Ferguson's disdain, Juan naturally felt the same way: "I seem to see that the ball is of different weights, and I don't know what they think, but they will play this trick."

"What do you think? It's not some teams that are related to UEFA? Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Milan, International... As far as we are in the Premier League, UEFA and UEFA are a bit in the same boat."

"The Premier League is almost independent of the entire top league." Juan smiled. At this moment, the people on the field announced the first name: "Group A, AS Monaco!"

Since the lottery draws a team from each group first, and then draws the second team from each group in turn, they are still holding their breath. Ligue [-] Monaco is not a team that is easy to deal with.

"Group B, Leverkusen!"

The staff showed the note in their hands, then put it down and walked towards the third basin.

"Group C, Juventus!"

"Group D, Manchester United!" Upon hearing Manchester United's name, Juan and Sir Alex heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, but soon Sir Alex reacted and glared at him: "What's your reaction?"

Juan smiled bitterly: "My lord, don't you think it would be a happier thing to know your grouping earlier? It's really uncomfortable for me to be hanging up and down like this now."

"Group E, Arsenal!"

The Scottish old man, who was just about to continue making some jokes with Juan, was silent with an ugly face. Of course, this does not mean that Ferguson is afraid of Arsenal's Arsene Wenger. In fact, since the league started last year, Arsenal has 46 It has an unbeaten record, and just a few days ago, Manchester United led by Ferguson ended Wenger's record with a score of 1-0 at home.

"Why, sir, are you unhappy?" Juan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"No...I'm not sorry." Sir Alex gritted his teeth, "I didn't meet him in the Champions League, otherwise I would kill him for two more rounds!"

A gaze drifted over, and Juan turned his head subconsciously. He was a little embarrassed to find that the person they were talking about was sitting behind them on the right. After noticing his gaze, Wenger nodded at him politely. , Juan returned a smile, turned his head and continued to watch the lottery.

"Group F, AC Milan!"

Juan let out an "Ah", causing the lord to look back at him subconsciously: "What's wrong?"

"No, I just remembered something suddenly..." Juan shook his head, turned his head complicatedly and started to look for the figure of AC Milan coach Ancelotti, he found the handsome Italian very easily, and he Beside him sat a man with loose long hair.

In the 04-05 season, the biggest tragedy in the history of AC Milan, the greatest comeback in the history of the Champions League, will always be nailed to the pillar of shame in history - Istanbul Night.

God, Amen, poor red and black army.

"Group G, Valencia!"

La Liga's Bat Corps ranked first in La Liga last season. This team has more than just people and technology.

"Group H, Chelsea!"

I don't know why, but when talking about Chelsea, Juan seemed to hear the creaking sound of the seat beside him. When he subconsciously looked back, he saw Sir Alex's already livid face.

"What's the matter, sir?" Juan was subconsciously worried, thinking that the old man had another heart attack.

"It's nothing... I was just thinking, Manchester United must be assigned to Group H or Group E, that would be great..." I don't know where Ferguson got such a big resentment, Juan was almost startled up.

It's just that when he thinks about the current situation in the Premier League, Juan can understand the old man's mood. Originally, he and Wenger would just leave it here to fight, well, there is a Portuguese coach who is more talkative!

When thinking of Mourinho, Ferguson has a very amazing illusion.

"Juan, don't you Portuguese all speak?"

"Ah?" Juan was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head and thought, "You mean, we are all chatter?"

"Yes," Ferguson nodded heavily, "Cristiano, Mourinho, and Queiroz are more talkative than each other, and each of them is better than the other. I don't know what the situation is."

"... At least you know me." Juan decided to comfort the old man, but it was okay not to mention him, and the old man seemed to be even angrier when he mentioned him: "You still have the nerve to say? Say a word, if you want to hear something from you, you have to wait for the real-time translation at the time of the development conference, isn’t it fun?”

Juan felt a little helpless, of course he knew it was his fault, but Sir Alex seemed to be exaggerating too much, right?

"Group A, La Coruña!" Juan was subconsciously stunned when he heard the registration, but soon realized that he had been assigned to Group A.

"Congratulations, sir." Juan said sincerely, "Under the setting of trying not to touch the national league in the group stage, we still have a chance to meet."

"Who wants to meet you, you brat? I don't bother to care about you." Sir, at this moment, seems to have fallen into a very unusual pride, and Juan is a little worried about it—— Have you forgotten, before they talked about the "broken formations" like Juan, but they talked all the way from the outermost to the seat.

"Okay, okay, I don't care." Juan sighed, he felt something silently slid past him, Juan looked down, it was the camera position, and there was someone behind him, he saw Juan Subconsciously stunned, the two stared at each other in embarrassment for several seconds.

"Hi." Juan smiled at him, "Snacks?"

He didn't expect that the man who was filming on the court before could see it here today, so he subconsciously said something molesting, but it seemed that he shouldn't be molesting children, this man jumped out of the distance almost immediately, and With the camera position, Juan was dumbfounded.

"En? What's the matter?" The Sir was listening to the movement above, and didn't notice Juan's situation here. Juan just smiled back at him: "It's nothing, I met someone who met once, and I feel that the world is real. Small."

"It's so strange, the circle of top football is only so narrow." Ferguson just said casually, still keeping a close eye on the situation on the field.

"Group D, Olympic Lyon!"

Upon hearing that it was Lyon, Ferguson's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief, and then he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, as if Manchester United's grouping this year was okay!

"Congratulations, sir!" Juan applauded sincerely. Manchester United's Champions League group stage draw is really good. Among the four teams, apart from Manchester United and Lyon, the other two teams are Fenerbach and Prague. Bada-belongs to the kind of team that basically no one pays attention to.

Faced with such a grouping, at least within the terrifying schedule of the Premier League, should it be a little easier?

"You are also each other." Ferguson smiled. Deportivo's grouping is really good. Among the three teams, Monaco, Liverpool, and Olympiacos, only Monaco is more threatening. Monaco and Porto compete for the Champions League title.

Although Sir Alex congratulated him very sincerely, Juan still couldn't help but want to smile wryly.

What is there to congratulate?

This grouping is exactly the same as the grouping in his dream, so according to the following pattern, Deportivo will be eliminated in fourth place in the group, not to mention the top two qualifying places, even the No.3 UEFA Cup Didn't even get the qualifications!

Juan didn't think about how miserable it was going to be. Deportivo had a big comeback against Milan last season. As a result, Shiliu Lang didn't make it to the Champions League this season...

Compared with Manchester United and Deportivo, the other teams they pay more attention to are really the group of death.

Group B, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid, Dynamo Kiev, AS Roma.

Group C, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Ajax, Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Group E, Arsenal, PSV Eindhoven, Napasinaikos, Rosenberg.

Group F, AC Milan, Barcelona, ​​Shakhtar Donetsk, Celtic.

Group G, Inter Milan, Wedel Bremen, Valencia, Anderlecht.

Group H, Chelsea, FC Porto, CSKA Moscow, Paris Saint-Germain.

——In contrast, the luck of Deportivo and Manchester United seems to be really good.The two coaches, one old and one young, looked at each other. For some reason, there was a feeling of both pleasure and displeasure.

As for Juan's luck in the lottery, after returning home, everyone agreed that it was better. After all, compared to Barcelona next door, Real Madrid next door, and Chelsea Arsenal on the other side of the UK, they really have nothing to do.

However, Juan, who was discussing the situation with his agent at night, suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Jorge, I heard that the lottery can be manipulated?"

"That's right." Jorge was very straightforward, "And there are many opportunities for manipulation and skills, so what do you want to do?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered... Mourinho's former owner was Porto, why did you get him such a sign?"

"Oh, you don't understand." Jorge said triumphantly, "This is the highlight of the game! The new owner and the old love, the duel between the two clubs, isn't this very good? "

"What a fart." Juan was almost speechless. If last season's Champions League champion didn't even qualify for the group stage this season, he would be ridiculed to death!But that's Porto too...

And last season's Champions League was so upset, no one expected that Mourinho and Porto would be the last laugh winners.

"I didn't say it, Juan, if you can also win the Champions League, we will send it now!" Jorge was very excited, Mourinho still has more than ten years of learning experience, and Hu What about Ann Dias?

This little kid went to coach after being hit by a car, got his coaching certificate within a year, and even became the head coach of La Liga!

This series of performances is amazing enough. If Juan can be amazing all the way to the end and directly raise the big ear cup, it will be the most perfect counterattack!

How many fairy tales, how miraculous, how provocative?At that time, there will be a group of stupid fans, and there will be plenty of days for him and Juan to make money!

Speaking of posting, Juan suddenly remembered what happened before, and couldn't help squinting his eyes: "Speaking of which, what happened to my poster?"

"Ah?" Jorge was taken aback, but soon began to pretend to be stupid, "What kind of poster are you talking about, I don't know the specific situation... ahahaha, I will withdraw first!"

For this person to hang up the phone quickly, Juan has nothing to do, anyway, it can be regarded as making money for the club...

In the first Champions League game, the whole club took it seriously and worked hard during the training. However, it was hard for the Brazilian who is naturally free and undisciplined. He was already too old, and now he has to keep up with this This kind of high-intensity training, finally on this morning, he was out of anger.

"Refused to play?" Juan raised his head from the mountain of documents in front of the table, and looked at the person in front of him in surprise, "Why?"

"Why?" Romario raised his eyebrows, with a subtle displeasure in his heart: "What did you and I say when we came here, and what's the situation now?"

At the beginning, Juan obviously told him that all he needed was his experience, and he would not be overworked. When he was free, he could still play with Fernando Redondo and tease his little one. juniors.

Of course! and!

After a few rounds of competition, he knew that he had been cheated!

He came here to play football, not for vacation!

Juan calmly put down the information in his hand and smiled about the collapse of the lone wolf in Brazil: "Boss, you are indeed passing on your experience to everyone. After all, no matter under what circumstances or during the game, you can show I have more ability to come out, so I have wronged you, I am sorry."

Although he didn't see the emotion of "sorry" from the face of the person in front of him, Romario still sighed after a while of silence.

He sat down on the sofa and raised his legs: "Well, let's talk about my appearance."
