"Boss, which teams do you think we will be in a group with this time?" Capello asked in a low voice as Cruyff, who was a special guest, came to the stage with a smile.

"Uh, let me think about it." Zhuang Mingge, who originally had no hope for Florence's grouping situation this time, heard his head coach say this, so he had to use his brain again.

Since the first batch of seeded teams included the champions of the four major leagues as well as Monaco and Ajax, Zhuang Mingge was not worried about meeting these strong teams early in the group stage.

However, there are also many strong players in the second batch of seed teams. After all, these teams include the runners-up of the four major leagues (AC Milan in Serie A, Valencia in La Liga, Newcastle United in the Premier League and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga) and Portugal. Porto and Dynamo Kiev in Ukraine. Although these teams are in the second tier, this does not mean that their strength is weaker than that of the first tier. It is just due to some objective reasons. were assigned to this class.

Zhuang Mingge will not be arrogant to think that Dynamo Kyiv, which has Shevchenko and Rebrov, the Ukrainian twin stars, is an easy team to deal with. You must know that in his previous life, even the Champions League champion Real Madrid could Overthrow the team ah!

There is also a veteran Bundesliga overlord like Bayern Munich, led by the experienced gold medal coach Trapattoni, and top stars like Matthaus and Klinsmann in the team, which is also a headache. team.

The most important thing is that I don't know if it is the negligence of UEFA's work. This time the group draw did not set the avoidance principle of the national team, so the possibility of Fiorentina meeting AC Milan in the group stage cannot be ruled out.

At the same time, the unseeded team also has dark horses such as Juventus from Serie A and Norwegian champion Rosenborg (they eliminated Panathinaikos, one of the semi-finalists of the last UEFA Champions League in the qualifiers). The team is also not to be underestimated.

"I think UEFA will not blatantly throw all the Serie A teams into the same group to kill each other, because if they do that, the artificial traces will be too heavy. Johansson's UEFA will not Make such a low-level mistake." Maybe it would have been during the Platini period. After all, during the former football superstar's administration, many European competitions have not stopped controversies. The most famous is the Stamford Bridge tragedy in 09." As the defending champions, Fiorentina should make things difficult for us in terms of grouping. After all, Fiorentina won the final championship in the siege of a strong opponent last season. If there is no difficulty in the schedule, then In the eyes of others, it is equivalent to walking us to the final."

"That's true." Capello nodded in agreement after listening to Zhuang Mingge's analysis.

"So, I think we should draw the strongest Bayern Munich among the second-tier teams. After all, Trapp is Italian. Matthaus and Klinsmann also have the experience of playing in Serie A. These are gimmicks that can be hyped."

"However, UEFA does not want to see us as the defending champions or other strong teams being eliminated in the group stage like Real Madrid last year. This will affect the ratings of the Champions League, so Juventus should not We are in a group with us, and Rosenberg, a Nordic team with a geographical advantage and tough style, is more likely to become our opponent..."

While Zhuang Mingge was chatting with Capello, Cruyff had already completed the grouping of the first seeded team, and Fiorentina, the defending champion, was assigned to Group B.

What happened next did not exceed Zhuang Minge's expectations. Fiorentina met Bayern Munich, the German football hegemony, in the second seeded team. When Cruyff drew Fiorentina and Bayern together, the venue At least half of the team representatives here gasped suddenly, and these representatives were secretly praying in their hearts that Cruyff would not draw them into Group B, otherwise they would definitely play soy sauce in the Champions League this time. ...

"The third team in Group B is... the Gothenburg Club from Sweden!" Sure enough, Florence's opponents in the same group did have a team from Northern Europe, but it was not Rosenberg from Norway as Zhuang Minge guessed before. It's its Nordic brother, Gothenburg, one of the two overlords in the Swedish league.

It seems that UEFA really wants to add some trouble to Fiorentina's promotion path, otherwise there is no need to throw a Nordic team and Fiorentina into the same group.

You know, in the UEFA Champions League group stage, these teams from Northern Europe and Eastern Europe have a great home field advantage. After all, these regions are very cold during the group stage, which is not considered for these home team players who are used to the local climate. What, but for Fiorentina players who have been living in the warm Mediterranean climate, such weather can be fatal.

The rapid cooling can easily cause the players to have cold symptoms, perhaps because of their different races. For Chinese people, it is not a small cold, but for Westerners, it is something that will kill people. The players of Florence are in the away game During the game, it is very likely that there will be non-combat attrition due to climate issues, which will prevent the team from fighting at all.

Just when Zhuang Mingge was wandering, thinking about the adverse effects of the Nordic climate on Florence's away game, Cruyff on the stage had already started the fourth round of draws.

"The last team to be assigned to Group B is the Glasgow Rangers Club from Scotland!" In the final round of draws, when Cruyff showed the note in his hand to the audience with a smile, Zhuang Mingge suddenly There was an urge to scold my mother in my heart.

I said old man Johansson, I know you want to find a better persimmon for my Fiorentina. The Rangers, who were double-killed by Fiorentina in the group stage last season, do seem to be a good choice, and this kind of game can also be Creating more gimmicks for the Champions League seems to kill two birds with one stone.

But please, can you use your brain to take a good look at what kind of group you threw Florence into!

Germany's Bayern Munich, Sweden's Gothenburg, Scotland's Glasgow Rangers... I'm sorry, this is fine, all three of Florence's opponents in the group stage are teams with a tough style of play , These three teams have some differences in the personal abilities of the players, but they are all first-class in terms of physical fitness!

Is this the rhythm to kill Florence?At any rate, give Florence a skilled opponent so that we can also bully people with our bodies!
