The Era of Emerald

ps: This is the one recommended by [-], and the next one will be recommended by [-], um, that's it.

When Zhuang Mingge saw that the representative of the Dortmund club was no longer Heathfield, but the Italian coach Scala, he secretly sighed, thinking that the top management of Dortmund made a wrong move, and their unwise move completely ruined the Hornets Challenge the hope of Bayern Munich's hegemony!

Although due to Zhuang Mingge's crossing, Dortmund did not win the European Champions Cup last season as it did in history, but two league championship trophies and a silver medal still allowed Summer, Paulo Sousa, Andres Stars such as Muller began to become complacent, which made Hitzfeld no longer able to let these players obey his command as before.

In Zhuang Mingge's view, Heathfield is far more important to the Dortmund team than Sammer and other stars. If it weren't for his strategizing, Dortmund would not have enough ability to challenge Bayern's dominance in Germany.

Heathfield is also very smart. He knows that he has no way to continue to make these stars obey his tactical arrangements. There will inevitably be a large landslide.

Therefore, Hitzfeld decisively resigned as Dortmund's head coach in the summer and was promoted internally to the club's technical director.After some screening, Dortmund's top management recruited Scala, who had a good record in Parma, as the team's new coach.

"I did a great job in Parma and was dismissed by the dissatisfied old Tanzi, and now I have come to Dortmund who is out of control in the locker room. Coach Scala is really unlucky!" Looking at the representatives standing in the venue and other teams Scala, who was talking and laughing happily, but couldn't hide his tired expression, Zhuang Mingge immediately realized that the former Parma coach's life in Dortmund was not easy.

Even Heathfield, who is good at building a good relationship with players, can't control these players with their tails up in the sky. What can Scala, who has just arrived and has no foundation in Dortmund, do?

Boss Mo did not hear Zhuang Mingge's comments, because at this time he had already gone to exchange feelings with Francesca Tanzi who had just arrived at the venue. He probably wanted to ask the other party, their Crespo How to sell...

"I'm afraid Dortmund's high-level executives are not aware of the current problems in the team." Karin took over the conversation from the side, and calmly analyzed, "After all, in the eyes of those people, the team just changed a head coach. , the first team did not lose many players, not even one of the main players, and Scala's coaching ability has been proven in Parma, so they think the team's problem is not big?"

"Hehe, I didn't take this opportunity to consolidate the authority of Heathfield, nor did I take the opportunity to update the team that has shown signs of aging... I think, after the start of this season, the expressions of Dortmund's top management will be very interesting."

While Zhuang Mingge and Karin were commenting on Dortmund's self-destruction of the Great Wall in their seats, the 1997-98 European Champions Cup group draw ceremony finally announced the start amidst the sound of music!

Among the 32 teams participating in the Champions League group stage, there are four teams from Serie A, La Liga, and the Premier League, and three teams from the fourth-ranked Bundesliga.In other words, clubs from the four major leagues occupy fifteen of them. After the restructuring of the Champions League, the strength of the four major leagues can be seen from this.

If you count the fifth-ranked Ligue [-], then this ratio will rise further.

The names of the 32 teams participating in the UEFA Champions League group stage appeared on the big screen directly in front of Zhuang Mingge. According to the rules set by UEFA, the teams on the screen were divided into four grades.

As the winner of two consecutive European Champions Cups, Fiorentina was naturally assigned to the first tier by UEFA, and together with Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Parma, Barcelona, ​​Ajax, Monaco and Manchester United formed the first tier. A division of eight teams.

Last season's La Liga champion Real Madrid was sadly assigned to the second tier due to their insufficient performance in European competitions in recent years, and had to face the fate of facing a strong opponent in advance in the group stage .

After the on-site host made a brief opening remark, he immediately announced the official start of the group draw ceremony!

"Hey, Michelle." Just as Platini, who was the special guest, was about to take the stage to preside over the drawing ceremony, a voice stopped him, "Don't draw the lottery like last time. Be natural. I heard that old man Johansson has his eye on you, and he's just waiting to find something to kick you out of UEFA."

"Haha, what can he do to drive me away?" Platini shrugged nonchalantly, and said, "Manipulating the lottery results? Please! I'm not the only one doing this, if he dares to use this reason to deal with me , he won't be able to eat and walk around!"

"Well, that's all I've said anyway, it's up to you whether you can listen to it or not. By the way, last time you drew for the quarter-finals, you did it too clearly. And Atletico Madrid drew one and a half districts, many people think you did it on purpose!"

"Well, according to what you said, this time I'll be more concealed, isn't that all right?" Platini turned around while talking, and walked towards the ceremony venue.

Tsk!What to say to ensure fair competition, UEFA should arrange a lot of strong opponents for a giant team like Fiorentina, and try to cause trouble for this conservative team as much as possible.Otherwise, it will win the championship every time, so what is the attraction of the European Champions Cup?How can the artistic football I am looking forward to come to the fore? !

Out of these thoughts, in the subsequent draw ceremony, Fiorentina, the "conservative team" that Platini hated, was once again assigned to a death group by the former French superstar!

Serie A champion Fiorentina, La Liga champion Real Madrid, Bundesliga runner-up Bayer Leverkusen and Premier League giants Liverpool, these four clubs from the four major leagues were "inadvertently" assigned to the same group by Platini!

When the grouping situation of Florence was announced on the big screen, Zhuang Mingge almost cursed in the venue:

"Damn it! Platini, you are too much! You deliberately troubled us Florence again and again! If I don't show my power, you really think Florence is a soft persimmon!"

Being targeted by the passers-by, can Platini still take advantage of the success of the World Cup in France, as he did in history, to ascend to the throne of UEFA president?

Tsk!Waiting to be killed!
