Under Tong Yi's attention, the group draw ceremony for the 2010-2011 Europa League officially began.
First of all, the first round is the first-level draw, which is to draw the first-level teams into the corresponding groups. To be honest, this draw is not exciting at all.
So, this round went quickly.
Then the teams in each group were also divided: A-Juventus, B-Atletico Madrid, C-Sporting Lisbon, D-Villarreal, E-Alkmaar, F-Central Moscow, G-St. Petersburg Zenit, H-Getafe, I-Eindhoven, J-Sevilla, K-Liverpool and L-Porto.
When Tong Yi saw these groups, he didn't feel Poland at all.
Next, the second level became slightly more nervous, because as soon as this round of draws comes out, it will be possible to see whether there is a chance of forming a death group.
Therefore, Tong Yi and Klopp both attach great importance to and care about it.
Hope the second-tier team Manchester City. Teams such as Bayer Leverkusen, Lille, Sampdoria, Paris Saint-Germain and Palermo should not be drawn into the first-tier strong teams. If they are drawn, the probability of being in the group of death is very high.
Then, the Manchester City team was instantly drawn out and went directly to Group A to team up with Juventus. This group is dangerous. If Dortmund, Naples, CSKA Sofia or 1860 Munich are drawn, this will be the group of death. .
To be honest, even Tong Yi, who is very confident, doesn't look like he was drawn into this group.
Next, Leverkusen was drawn into Group B to face Atletico Madrid. This group also showed signs of being a group of death. Then Sampdoria and Eindhoven were close together, and in Group I, Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla were close together, both in Group J. This was also a precursor to the group of death.
Of course, Tong Yi and the others are also lucky that these teams are not close to Liverpool. If they are close to Liverpool, the atmosphere of this group of death will be a bit strong.
The next step is to draw lots for the teams in the third level, which is the most exciting and exciting stage. This level determines the formation of the real group of death. Tong Yi and Klopp's teams are both in this level, so this is very nervous. They are likely to directly enter the group of death.
Tong Yi and Klopp looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They didn't expect that the situations of the two brothers were so similar.
Next, it depends on the luck of you and me.
Suddenly, Klopp asked: "David, are you afraid of entering the death group?"
Tong Yi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Klopp to ask such a question. He was stunned for a long time. Then he said: "Afraid! Of course I'm afraid!"
Klopp was also surprised by Tong Yi's answer. They did not expect that Tong Yi, who has appeared with a strong, arrogant and arrogant image since his debut, would give in at this time. This is not appropriate.
Klopp stared at Tong Yi curiously.
Tong Yi smiled slightly and said: "We are a newly promoted team! Our focus is naturally on the league. The easier the Europa League games are, the less distracted we will be. We can attack the league with all our strength. So, I We are really afraid that we will fall into a group of death!"
Klopp reacted and smiled bitterly, so you are so scared?
Sure enough, you, Tong Yi, are still the same Tong Yi.
Tong Yi then looked at Klopp and asked: "Are you afraid of being drawn into the death group?"
Klopp also chuckled interestingly, and then said: "Of course, our main battlefield for Dortmund this season is also in the league. Of course I am also afraid of falling into the death group in the Europa League!"
Tong Yi knew that Klopp was not lying.
In Tong Yi's memory, Dortmund's focus this season is really all on the league. Because he is very aware of Bayern Munich's poor situation this season. They have a chance to win the championship if they go all out, and the chance is very big. Klopp will definitely not let the opportunity slip away.
Sure enough, in the end, after the end of this season, Dortmund really won the Bundesliga championship. Therefore, Tong Yi naturally believed it very much.
Tong Yi nodded slightly, and then said: "Then I hope we all have good luck and don't get drawn into the death group!"
The people around them all pouted. They felt that these two guys were really good at bragging. To be afraid is to be afraid, and to be timid is to be timid. Why are there so many rubbish reasons? What two clowns!
Therefore, they immediately stopped imprisoning these two people.
Then, the truly exciting draw ceremony for the third level began.
Both Tong Yi and Klopp took this draw very seriously, and then the first team in the third tier was drawn-Naples!
hiss!
This is also a strong team. Which group will he be drawn into? Obviously Group A is impossible, because they have to avoid teams under the Football Association, so they will not enter Group A. Are they entering Group B to form a team with Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen? If this is the case, this is a super death group!
To be honest, at this time, the people of Atletico Madrid and Leverkusen must be very nervous. Of course, the most nervous people are the people of Naples.
Which group will it be?
At this time, the Naples group was also drawn out - Group K!
Naples is close to Liverpool and Steaua Bucharest. This group is okay, not so dead, because Steaua Bucharest is not very good. Naples and Liverpool have a high chance of qualifying, and the Naples people breathed a sigh of relief.
Tong Yi and Klopp looked at each other and said to themselves that Naples is so lucky!
Then the second and third teams were drawn out. They were all ordinary teams, and no group of death appeared. However, Group A, Group B, and Group J, which have the aura of a death group, have not been separated yet, which means that the probability of a death group appearing in the future is even greater.
Tong Yi and Klopp were both a little nervous.
And at this time, another third-tier team was drawn out - Munich 1860!
Seeing this, Tong Yi's heart skipped a beat, it was more important than us. But no, we won’t appear in the death group, right? Are we going to go to Group A, to be in the same group as Juventus and Manchester City? If this is the case, this Europa League will be finished.
Klopp was also very nervous and felt nervous for Tong Yi.
The other coaches at the scene stared at Tong Yi with sarcastic faces. They all wanted to see Tong Yi's expression when he was drawn into the death group. Let the guy cry and they'll be happy.
Tong Yi's eyes were fixed on the stage, and at this moment, Munich 1860's group was also drawn out - Group H.
Seeing this, Tong Yi and Klopp both breathed a sigh of relief, good signing, good signing!
Munich 1860 is in the same group as Getafe and Odense. This group is a good draw for Munich 1860. As long as the last team does not draw Utrecht from the Eredivisie, It is very, very possible for Munich 1860 to qualify from this group.
Klopp gave Tong Yi a hug directly and congratulated: "Congratulations on your wish. You will definitely advance to the top 32 next."
Tong Yi nodded slightly and thought so, and said, "Don't worry, you should be able to advance to the top thirty-two!"
The other coaches were very speechless. The scene they wanted to see did not appear. What a pity!
Klopp smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, you are so lucky, how could my luck be worse? My luck has always been a little bit better than yours, so I won't get it. From the group of death!”
Klopp was full of confidence when he said this.
Tong Yi also nodded slightly and agreed with Klopp's words. However, other coaches don't think so. Why is it better than Tong Yi's luck? You are a liar!
Next, another third-tier team was drawn out - Dortmund!
Everyone was shocked. Is it such a coincidence? The last one to be drawn was Munich 1860, and the next one to be drawn was Dortmund. What a coincidence for these two brothers!
Everyone turned to look at Tong Yi and Klopp, and even Tong Yi looked at Klopp.
Klopp also smiled bitterly. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. He just congratulated on the agreement, and then they were taken out. What a coincidence.
However, everyone was staring at the draw table attentively, waiting for the draw results to come out. Which group will Dortmund be drawn into? Isn't it true that as Klopp said, their luck is better than Munich 1860?
Which group will Dortmund be drawn into?
The people on the stage immediately picked out the group Dortmund should enter - Group J!
Everyone on the scene burst into cheers, and Klopp wanted to die. Good luck to you. Even God can't stand it now. You're in the death group.
Dortmund was assigned to a group with Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain, a proper group of death!
Tong Yi didn't know how to comfort Klopp all of a sudden.
Klopp's face was a little ugly, but he adjusted it after a while. Then he said directly: "It's okay, now I can devote myself more wholeheartedly to the league. The league is the focus of our Dortmund season!"
Tong Yi nodded slightly, also recognizing Dortmund.
Tong Yi and the others didn't care much about the next draw. Except for one Utrecht, there was no possibility of creating a group of absolute death.
In the end, Utrecht was drawn into Group K, and was placed in the same group with Liverpool, Steaua Bucharest and Naples. This was also a group of death.
Just like that, the group draw results for the 2010-2011 Europa League came out. The draw results are as follows:
