long live the king

At this moment, the large and small wine bars in Marseille are overcrowded, and everyone is holding beer glasses and watching TV with their heads up.Looking forward to the results of the draw.

The TV broadcast gave a close-up of Fernandez, who was staring at the stage intently, with a serious expression on his face.

And Zhang Yang, who appeared in the broadcast footage, had a look of anticipation.

Group A came out first, maybe this is fate, Barcelona and Chelsea met in the UEFA Champions Cup for the third consecutive season, and the difference from the previous two encounters in the knockout stage is that this time the two giants met in the group stage. meet in advance.In the knockout rounds of the first two seasons, Chelsea and Barcelona each won once. Group A can be said to be the group of death. In addition to defending champion Barcelona and Premier League champion Chelsea, there is Bundesliga runner-up Werder Bremen; the other team is Sofia Levski.What's interesting is that in the European Champions Cup last season, Werder Bremen was also in the same group as Barcelona. As a result, Barcelona won both home and away games.

The lottery guest Lineker drew a signed ball, opened it, and it said Marseille.

All Marseille players and fans began to get nervous, let's see which group the other lucky draw guest Eusebio is in.

Eusebio drew out the signed ball, opened it to take a look, first smiled at the camera, and then showed the result—h!

"Group H, AC Milan, which has advanced through the qualifying round, will face the challenges of Athens Aek, Anderlecht and Marseille. I believe that the first qualifying of the Rossoneri group is imperative. The other three teams are similar in strength and will Compete for the second chance to qualify for the group." The announcer of Sky TV immediately wrote a footnote for the group's qualifying situation.

Hearing what Sky TV said, the Masai people in front of the TV were not happy. You said that AC Milan is the strongest in this group. We have no objection to this, because AC Milan is indeed very strong. However, you said that we and Athens Aek And Anderlecht level, we can not accept this.

Seeing that the team was drawn into Group H, Fernandez's heart dropped a stone. This is a group that he is very satisfied with. Except for the Serie A giants AC Milan, the other two teams Anderlecht and Athens Aek The strength is very average, and this belongs to a group with relatively small competition.

The head coach of the Marseille team also took a special look at his proud disciple. He saw that Zhang Yang's eyes were full of excitement and eagerness to try, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing the boy's expression, Fernandez shook his head and smiled.

Zhang Yang is not convinced that AC Milan looks down on him.As for the specific details of AC Milan's purchase of itself, after Mendes' analysis, Zhang Yang later learned that it was Galliani and Braida who advocated the deal, and AC Milan chairman Silvio Berlusconi, as well as AC Milan Leonardo, who has the right to speak on the transfer signal, has negative opinions. Berlusconi thinks Zhang Yang is too young, has no reputation, and is not worthy of AC Milan, while Leonardo is trying his best to promote Ronaldo's transfer to AC Milan. , Naturally, there is no publicity for this young position in the eyes. In addition, AC Milan coach Ancelotti is not interested in this Ligue [-] golden boot.What he wants is Ibrahimovic or Drogba.

Now, in the Champions League, he met AC Milan who looked down on him, how could Zhang Yang not be motivated?

The four teams in Group B are Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Sporting Lisbon and Spartak Moscow.Inter Milan was the champion of Serie A last season, while Bayern was the champion of Bundesliga last season. It seems that there is no big problem for these two league champions to qualify together.

The four teams in Group C are Liverpool, PSV Eindhoven, Bordeaux and Galatasaray.It should be said that Liverpool's luck is not good, and the other three opponents in the group are not easy to deal with.

Group D is the weakest group among the eight groups in the Champions League. Valencia and Roma are likely to take the top two. Olympiacos and Shakhtar Donetsk will have a lot of difficulty in qualifying.

In Group E, Real Madrid are in the same group as Lyon for the second consecutive year.In the Champions League group stage last season, Lyon beat Real Madrid 3-0 at home, while Real Madrid was tied 1-1 by Lyon at home.For the "Galactic Warships", this time they have a chance for revenge.

In Group F, Manchester United is in the same group as Benfica, Celtic and Copenhagen. The "Red Devils" should not have much problem entering the top 16.

The luck of Arsenal in Group G is average. The strength of the Gunners' Group G is not too strong, but it is not too weak. Porto, Hamburg and CSKA Moscow will compete for the second place in the group.

The final results of the 2006/2007 UEFA Champions League group stage draw were displayed on the big screen:

"The fifth round of the league has ended. Now we can take a good look at the situation of the league's scorer list..." Roman.Roland has continued his promising job of "making it black" on a football show he hosts.

It is indeed "very promising", because he has been ridiculing and criticizing Zhang Yang in the column of "Le Figaro", although many fans of Zhang Yang hate him, but there is still a certain market.So France National TV found him and asked him to speak freely in the special commentary program after each round of Ligue [-] on the sports channel, which made Roman.Roland was ecstatic. He criticized Zhang Yang for working at "Le Figaro" at the beginning. Later, he was slapped in the face by Zhang Yang and completely resented, which intensified. However, he did not expect that he would get such an honor because of this. A new job that pays well.It seems that cursing is also a very promising thing.

France National TV naturally knew Romain.The grievances between Roland and Zhang Yang, but this kind of gimmick has always been very popular. Of course, in order to avoid disputes, it is still stipulated, Roman.In his own program, Roland's words are sharper, and cynicism is fine, but it is absolutely not allowed to directly swear or make personal threats, soon Roman.Roland's program received a good response, and the ratings soared all the way, Roman.Roland was actually about to become an ace host.

However, this also caused the relationship between Zhang Yang and France National Television, which was not bad, to deteriorate sharply. He now refuses all interview requests from France National Television. The show is grandstanding.

However, France National TV has tasted the sweetness of the surge in ratings and ignored the protests from Zhang Yang and the Marseille club.The high ratings are not because many fans hate Zhang Yang, but because people really want to watch Zhang Yang and Roman.Roland chattered.Those who like Zhang Yang want to see Zhang Yang slap Roman in the face.Roland, those who don't like him want to hear Roland.Roland's cynicism made him feel refreshed.

"In this round, the Marseille team lost [-]-[-] away to Nantes. This is their first defeat this season. Five games, one win, three draws and one loss. Ha, this Marseille team wants to compete for the championship... Tsk tsk. Well, their striker Zhang Yang continues to score goals, oh, forgot, he is suspended for this game." Roman.Roland smiled, "On the scorer list, um, on the scorer list, Lille's Odum Wenji scored five goals, Paris Saint-Germain's Pauletta scored four goals, and Lyon's teenager Benzema scored five goals. We brought a surprise, he scored four goals... Well, it's a pity, I didn't see the name of Marseille's No. [-] on it?" He raised the piece of paper in his hand, " As if he hasn't scored yet, Christopher?"

The guest invited to this episode is the retired former French international Christopher.Dugarry, he was the meritorious international footballer who won the Hercules Cup for the French team in 1998. He retired from the Qatar League in 2004.In addition, Dugari has played for the Marseille team for three seasons. Because this program will talk about the Marseille team and their shooter Zhang Yang, Dugari, who has a deep relationship with the Marseille team, is invited.

"I think Zhang Yang's luck is not very good. He used to be so close to the goal. However, the crossbar and the post have become his enemies. Even the goal may be blown away." Dugarry said unceremoniously , he is still more supportive of Zhang Yang, and admires this young man very much. As for his partner Roman today.Dugari didn't like Roland's unscrupulous mockery of Zhang Yang.

"Christopher, it seems you still have confidence in this kid?" Roman asked.Roland asked with a sideways glance.

"As long as he finds the feeling of scoring goals, scoring goals is not a problem for him." Dugarry said.He suddenly looked at Roman.Roland glanced, "Do you want to make a bet?"

"Oh?" Roman asked.Roland became alert.After what happened last season, he is very sensitive about betting now.

"I think Zhang Yang will still win the league Golden Boot this season, but obviously you don't think so, let's take a gamble?" Dugarry said.

"Uh—this." Roman said.Roland mused, of course he didn't believe that Zhang Yang could still win the league's Golden Boot. In his current state, it would be good if he could score double-digit goals this season.Normally, he might not dare to bet, but when he thought of Zhang Yang's poor state and luck, he immediately gained confidence, "Bet, my favorite bet, no problem, bet!"

"What's the bet?" Dugari asked with a laugh.
