Although representatives of all clubs do not want to be placed in the same group as Tottenham, a team that wears the skin of the fourth tier but has the strength to compete with the top giants, there is no way, the rules are the rules, even if these people can make Even if UEFA modifies the relevant rules, it is impossible to change what has been determined and force Tottenham to move to the second gear. Otherwise, UEFA's prestige will be gone.
As for Tottenham, George also does not want the team to encounter too many strong opponents in the group stage, because in this way, Tottenham, which consumed too much in the first half of the season, is likely to be the same as last season. We were distanced by our opponents in the second half of the season!
However, no matter how reluctant he was, George could only choose to accept the result that was destined to fall on Tottenham. Who made Tottenham miss the European competition before George took over? Without any European points, it was inevitable that Tottenham would be thrown into the fourth tier.
"Alex, I will pay attention to this." Realizing that Tottenham's Champions League journey this season may be as crisis-ridden as Ferguson said, George sincerely expressed his gratitude to Sir Alex Ferguson, "Without you Warning, I’m afraid I’m going to suffer a big loss at the hands of those reporters this time.”
Without being mentally prepared in advance, if Tottenham is assigned to a death group in this draw ceremony, George is likely to complain in an interview later, giving himself and Tottenham a chance. To cause unnecessary trouble - the good media will definitely try their best to misinterpret George's original intention, and UEFA will inevitably be dissatisfied with George because of this, thereby stumbling on Tottenham behind his back.
Thinking of Chelsea in his previous life, when Abramovich first took over, he had to face strong opponents in the Champions League knockout rounds almost every year, and the subsequent tragedy at Stamford Bridge, George did not think these UEFA officials had such noble sentiments.
Seeing that George had understood what he meant, Ferguson stopped talking, waved goodbye to George and his group, and went elsewhere to exchange feelings with other people in the venue - as the Manchester United coach, Sir Alex Ferguson's network of contacts is better than that of a fledgling. George is much deeper and naturally needs to spend more time and energy to maintain these friendships and relationships.
As for George, after saying goodbye to Ferguson, he took Adele and Elizabeth to find Mourinho, who was sitting in the front row of the venue, surrounded by an empty space: "Hi, Jose, I haven't seen you for such a long time, how about you?" Why do you still act like you don't want to let strangers in? If those reporters see it, the news that you were ostracized by your peers will probably be published in tomorrow's newspapers."
Because they had studied together under the old Robson, George formed a friendship with Mourinho, his senior brother at that time. Even after the elder Robson left Barcelona, George chose to follow his mentor to Eindhoven, while Mourinho stayed at Camp Nou to continue his studies, and the two maintained a certain degree of contact.
"Long time no see, George." Seeing that the person who came was his junior brother George Nelson, the serious expression on Mourinho's face finally eased a bit, and there was a bit of ridicule and humor in his tone, "Fortunately, this The draw for the second group follows the principle of avoiding teams from the same league. Otherwise, I would now be worried about the possibility of Chelsea and Tottenham encountering each other in the group stage ahead of schedule."
"You and Alex don't have to worry, I'm so panicked right now!" Hearing Mourinho's joking words, George sat on Mourinho's right side angrily and motioned to Adele. Er and Elizabeth sat on their left, "The thirty-two teams are divided into four groups. In other words, except for the groups where the three Premier League teams are located, we still encountered strong opponents in the other five groups. Possibility. You know, this time the strength of the first and second teams is quite even, and no one is easy to deal with."
"There are no underdogs in the Champions League, and this kind of situation is absolutely normal." Regarding George's complaints, Mourinho said indifferently, "Don't tell me that you will be frightened by this scene. Of course, even if you I don’t believe it. I have never forgotten who told me that I must become the best head coach in the world. If you don’t even have the courage to face this difficulty, how can you achieve it? This goal?”
"Haha, it's true that you understand me, Jose." Seeing that Mourinho still remembered his original ambitions, George couldn't help but laugh. As Mourinho said, although George does not want Tottenham to consume too much in the first half, if he is really assigned to a cheating group, he will not evade the challenge because of this!
If Tottenham cannot climb several mountains and cross several difficulties on this road, then how can it be possible for people to be convinced and recognize its identity and status as a giant?
In this way, as George and Mourinho exchanged words with each other, time passed by minute by minute, and it was finally time for the official opening of the group draw ceremony!
There is nothing to say about the first two rounds of draws, that is, the head-to-head showdown between Chelsea and Porto caused a small commotion at the scene. This was because the two sides had a little intersection on Mourinho. After all, in terms of appearance and overall strength, Porto, which has suffered serious blood loss this summer and even the meritorious coach Mourinho left, will not be Chelsea's opponent in any case!
After the first two rounds of group draws, Real Madrid star Di Stefano and Portuguese superstar Eusebio suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention! Because the results of their subsequent draws will completely determine the fate of these clubs in this season's Champions League!
Whether this season is a European or an African disguised as a European depends on this!
Seeing Di Stefano smiling and pushing Ajax into Group C, the eyes of Capello and Magath sitting below suddenly darkened, with only this thought left in their minds:
Kneel down for the old man!
Juventus, Bayern Munich, Ajax, no matter which team is drawn from the fourth tier next, this group will be a complete group of death!
However, it seemed that he wanted to continue the shock to the end, or that UEFA wanted to create more gimmicks. Eusebio, who was the last one to appear for the draw, waved his hand and, amidst the exclamations on the scene, won the first place. Tottenham Hotspur, the strongest team in the fourth pot, was drawn into Group C where Juventus and other teams are located!
"Tottenham! Group C! The results are out, Tottenham Hotspur are assigned to Group C!" Seeing this scene, Andy Gray in the live broadcast room couldn't help being surprised, "Juventus, Bayern Munich , Ajax, Tottenham Hotspur...the group of death! This is definitely a well-deserved group of death!"
