Chapter 140
Chapter 140
Anyway, the outcome is almost doomed, UEFA must use Manchester City, who are in the third grade, to create a breaking point.
On TV, the draw ceremony has begun.
On the big screen at the draw ceremony, a retrospective of last season's Champions League final was shown, recalling last season's legendary experience of winning the Malaga Cup in a kind of art gallery.
The last shot was the glorious moment when Xu Ning held high the Champions League trophy.
At this time, the Manchester City teammates around Xu Ning can be envious!
Xu Ning couldn't help but laugh when he saw the expressions of his teammates.
"No need to envy!"
"When the season is over, I'm sure each of us will have a chance to lift the trophy!"
The expressions of their teammates became eager, although they all knew that this was more like a kind of arrogance, but they inexplicably believed Xu Ning.
I believe that Xu Ning can lead them to do it!
After a series of processes were completed, the two lottery guests walked onto the stage.
One was Figo, and the other Xu Ning didn't know.
The two will share the grouping of the first team, which is not much to see.
Then, the third lottery guest Cruyff walked up, and everyone's expressions became a little solemn.
Cruyff will draw out the teams from the second pot to group, which also means that there will be a showdown.
This is the most exciting time!
And as Cruyff pulled out the teams one by one, the scene exclaimed one after another.
Real Madrid touches Juve!
Chelsea touch Milan!
It is directly a dialogue between two groups of strong and strong, the peak showdown!
After all, it is impossible for every group to be a group of death, in that case, if the strong team has an accident in the group stage, the knockout stage will not be so exciting.
So it's best to just have two or three strong conversations and let the rest run its course.
Next, the lottery guest Owen walked up, and the attention of this round of lottery was even higher than just now.
Don't look at the strong teams such as Juve just now, but it is generally recognized that they have little chance of winning the title.
But the third gear team is different!
The third pot team is Manchester City.
But don't think Manchester City are not strong enough just because they're in third gear.
Strictly speaking, they are the number one favourites to win the Champions League in the new season!
This can be seen from the odds given by the spinach company.
Manchester City's odds are currently the lowest!
It can be said that which group Manchester City are assigned to, in fact, which group is the real death group.
At this time, the faces of the representatives of several wealthy families had changed.
Real Juventus, in particular, are the last thing they want Manchester City to be drawn into their group.
Once City do come in, it's almost inevitable that one of their two teams is doomed to miss the group.
At this time, in the Etihad training base, the teammates could not help but start praying.
"Don't be Group B!"
"Let's not touch Real Madrid, don't touch Juve!"
"God forbid!"
"Group C, Group C is the weakest!"
......
However, Owen's hand really made Xu Ning a little unsure of what to say.
He never expected that Owen would directly draw Manchester City into Group H.
Who are the opponents in Group H?
One is Barcelona!
Xu Ning was reluctant to touch Barça.
Nothing interesting!
And Barca's current style of play at this stage can only increase the possession rate after being gradually understood, making people a little drowsy.
It is even more torturous to the opponent.
Of course, it is not that Xu Ning is afraid of Barca, that is impossible.
The only thing that makes Xu Ning a little interested is that Neymar joined Barca this summer, and I don't know how much the Brazilian spirit can bring to Barca now.
The opponent is Barca, which can be tolerated, but what makes Xu Ning unbearable is another opponent in the group.
Schalke 04!
Just now, Cruyff drew Schalke 04 into Group H and became a group opponent with Barca.
At that time, Xu Ning couldn't help but mourn for Schalke 04.
Although Schalke 04 is now strong, it is still difficult to make a difference against Barca.
Being in the same group as Barça means that Schalke 04 can only compete with two other group stage opponents for a group qualification spot.
But who would have thought that Owen would draw Manchester City into this group!
This is Xu Ning's old club!
To say that there is no UEFA trick in this, Xu Ning dares to screw his head off!
It's so shameless that there is no lower limit, and everything is done to create a burst!
It's a pity Schalke 04!
Even if you don't consider who the fourth team is, with Barca and Manchester City in the group, they have lost the possibility of qualifying!
Anyway, Xu Ning really wants to scold his mother now!
The teammates were all looking at Xu Ning with a strange expression, which made Xu Ning want to cry even more.
The rest of the draw is irrelevant.
The fourth team in Group H is the Soviet Premier League side Celtic, playing the role of soy sauce.
Because the fourth gear does not have a strong team in the traditional sense, everyone thinks that the real sense of the death group is a little less meaningful.
But only Xu Ning knew that a hidden group of death was the existence that really created the record.
Group F!
Arsenal, Marseille, Borussia Dortmund, Napoli!
In addition to Marseille in the second gear, the remaining three teams are the big guys!
Xu Ning's memories in his previous life were very deep.
The three teams won one game each in pairs, while all of them won over Marseille.
This led to a very shocking situation - the group stage was over, and the three teams had 12 points together.
This means that Napoli, who have won four of their six group games, can only regret being eliminated because of their low goal difference.
Directly set a record for the highest points for a group stage out!
This extreme situation is simply unprecedented.
Xu Ning is going to die sorry for Naples!
"Scattered!"
"It's just a Barça!"
"Little meaning, small meaning!"
The teammates felt a little indifferent about this result, at most, they looked at Xu Ning's expression a little strangely.
It is true that Schalke 04 and Barça have too deep a connection with Xu Ning.
Schalke 04 is the old club, and even Xu Ning's father is still working as a youth coach in the Schalke 04 youth academy.
As for Barça, last season's two-legged league legs, Xu Ning alone did Barça 10!
Interesting!
The next day, the news of the Champions League draw naturally became the focus of public opinion.
Every time at this time, it is the time for the media to frantically hype and increase sales.
Among them, the most interesting topic is naturally Xu Ning touching his old owner Schalke 04.
In addition, the entanglement between Higuain and Arsenal is also quite topical.
Arsenal's longest-running target in the transfer market this summer is Higuain.
News of the two sides holding hands before the end of last season peaked after Little Smokers publicly announced their farewell to the Bernabeu.
However, because they could not negotiate a price with Real Madrid, Arsenal, who were unwilling to pay sky-high prices, did not achieve their wishes in the end.
Hence the hilarious joke of Higuain staying in the medical examination room of the Emirates Stadium for a month, and then drilling into the tunnel to Napoli.
Now that Arsenal met Higuain directly in the group stage, you say embarrassment is not embarrassing.
