Chapter 366 Champions League Group Draw ([-])

Under such circumstances, Murphy and head coach Redknapp flew to Monaco together with the club's chairman Daniel Levy. Naturally, he is the number one giant of the club on such occasions that are related to the fate of the team's Champions League. won't miss it.

On the afternoon of August 8th, Monte Carlo in Monaco has become very lively. In addition to tens of thousands of fans from various countries, there are also countless European football heavyweights gathered here. They are all here to participate in the Champions League The group stage draw ceremony.

The Grimaldi Conference Center is known as the best conference center in the world, and its reputation is still ahead of Amsterdam, Barcelona and Hong Kong. The center covers an area of ​​35000 square meters. Arbitrary change of venue format is one of the must-choice venues for various UEFA activities.

Mo Fei, Redknapp, and Daniel Levy are sitting in the central hall waiting for the draw ceremony to start. The three of them are chatting from time to time. Next to them is the head coach of Porto, who won the Portuguese Super League last season. Las Boas.However, Boas obviously has no interest in talking with them, and at the moment he is talking on the phone non-stop.

At this time, Beckenbauer, Hoeness and Klinsmann, old acquaintances from the Bundesliga, came over.Mo Fei hurriedly stood up and greeted each other with a smile. Although they were rivals in the league, all of this disappeared with Mo Fei's transfer, not to mention that in public places, it is necessary to show a gentleman's demeanor.

"Mo, nice to meet you. Ha, if I remember correctly, this should be your first time participating in the UEFA Champions League group draw." Klinsmann hugged Mo Fei with a smile on his face and said, "What a pity You went to the Premier League. You know, I have always regarded watching you play as the greatest joy in my life. Presumably many German fans have the same regret as me."

"It's indeed the first time." Mo Fei responded with a smile, then turned to shake hands with Beckenbauer and Hoeness respectively, "It's a great honor to meet here."

"The lad did a great job in the Premier League. He deserves to be from our Bundesliga." Beckenbauer patted Mo Fei on the shoulder appreciatively.

"Unfortunately, we didn't get you." Bayern manager Hoeness said with some regret.Bayern was also actively pursuing Murphy at the beginning, but Murphy completely blocked the possibility of transferring to the Bundesliga giant with the reason of "not staying in the Bundesliga and fighting against Hoffenheim".

Could it be that he smiled noncommittally, as a response.Redknapp and Daniel Levy also got up and exchanged pleasantries with the other group, and then Beckenbauer and others sat down in the row behind Mo Fei and them.

Not long after, last season's Champions League winner Inter Milan also arrived. The arrival of Sneijder and Benitez attracted reporters from almost the entire hall, and various cameras were aimed at them for a while.Facing this kind of situation, Sneijder was full of spring breeze and swayed freely. He was the biggest winner of the last Champions League. The team won the Champions League. He became the assist leader, and he was 90.00% sure that he would be the best player in the Champions League.

In comparison, Benitez's complexion is much uglier.Inter Milan’s treble last season had nothing to do with him, it was the brilliance created by Mourinho, if it wasn’t for the presence of the head coach, he wouldn’t have come here at all, which made him feel like picking up people’s teeth under the halo of his predecessor .

Could it be that he was also a little bit emotional. During the World Cup, Benitez invited himself to join the Red Army Liverpool. Unexpectedly, as soon as the World Cup was over, Benitez dismissed class, and then quickly took over the coach of Mourinho and started coaching Serie A last season. The Triple Crown of the League.

Could it be that when he turned his head, he found that although Hoeness and the others were smiling, compared to Sneijder, they smiled a bit reluctantly. In fact, for them, if it wasn't because they wanted to participate in the lottery ceremony, they would rather not come to receive the lottery. prize.The defeat of last season hit them too hard. The domestic throne was snatched away by the dark horse Hoffenheim. The Champions League with great hopes was defeated by Inter Milan [-]-[-] in the final. It is strange that they can feel better Woolen cloth.

"Hey, Mo, long time no see."

When Mo Fei was looking around, a familiar voice came from behind him.Could it be that he was stunned for a moment, and then an ecstatic look appeared on his face.This long-lost voice was so familiar that he knew who it was without looking back.

"Sayad, it's really a blessing to see you here." Mo Fei shouted loudly as he turned around, with an irrepressible surprise in his tone.

The person who came was Murphy's teammate Salihovic in Hoffenheim, and beside him was a handsome young man named Michel Weiser.

"I didn't expect you to come too, but before I came, I was thinking how great it would be if I could meet you. Ha, I didn't expect my dream to come true." Salihovic and Mo Fei hugged and rubbed each other's cheeks He smiled and said, "All of us watched your game against Chelsea. It was very good. You are becoming more and more like a superstar. Haha!"

"Your performance is also very good, ha, the same three consecutive victories, it's great!" Mo Fei also laughed heartily, meeting former teammates in a foreign country is indeed a pleasant thing.Although he has left Huo Village, he will still pay attention to Hoffenheim's developments through the Internet. After all, that is the place where his dream set sail, and he has an inseparable relationship.

"How are Franco and the others? Are Uncle Pipit and Mr. Watts okay? And the lovely Ruby..." Mo Fei mentioned the residents and players of Huo Village like a few treasures, and his eyes showed deep miss.

"Oh, my God, you have so many questions, I don't know where to start to answer them." Salihovich rolled his eyes and spread his hands helplessly: "Actually, everyone is doing well. It's just that there are still some questions. I'm not used to not having you by my side, and everyone misses you a lot..." As he spoke, Salihovic seemed to think of something, with a look of reminiscence on his face, a little sad.

Could it be that he smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to take up the conversation.He knew why Salihovic suddenly became sad. Those happy days are the best memories of all Hoffenheim people, but unfortunately, the past has become the past...

"Hey, Michelle, you don't smile when you see me." Mo Fei restrained himself, changed the subject, and stretched out his right hand to touch Weizel's face.This is his favorite way of "teasing" each other. In his eyes, Weizel is just like his younger brother, lovable.

"Hey, I'm not a child anymore!" Weizel tilted his head to avoid Mo Fei's "claw" in dissatisfaction, and waved his fist at Mo Fei in a demonstrative way, saying, "I'm a man now!"

"Oh?" Mo Fei couldn't stop laughing out loud at Weizel's words, glanced at the other party with scrutiny, and praised, "Uh, it seems that he has grown and strengthened a lot, ha, he's a little man now!"

"Damn it, it's a man, not a little man!" Weizel turned his head pretending to be angry, and ignored Mo Fei.In fact, he really didn't know how to face Mo Fei. For him, Mo Fei and his relationship were both teachers and friends. Without Mo Fei's training and help, his progress would not be so obvious and rapid. In his heart, Mo Fei has always been his idol, and his biggest dream is to compete with Mo Fei on the same stage and contribute to Hoffenheim together.But now, he has finally grown up, but Mo Fei has already left Germany.

In fact, there is another reason, and that is because of Weizel's sister Tina.Tina's love for Murphy is well known in Hoffenheim. Weizel, Tina's younger brother, is naturally even more embarrassed.He felt that it would be a good thing for Mo Fei to be his "brother-in-law", but unfortunately, Mo Fei already had a girlfriend, how could he not blush as a "brother-in-law" who had already dismissed get out of class before taking office.

Salihovic seemed to see what Weizel was thinking, and smiled wryly in his heart, but he had no choice but to make a siege for the younger brother, saying: "Michel has taken over your class now, and his role in the team is not inferior at all. Thanks to you. Michelle contributed a lot to the perfect start of the three-game winning streak.”

"Ha, Michelle has grown up." Mo Fei said jokingly.He often pays attention to the news about Hoffenheim, of course he knows that the core of the team's midfielder is Weizel, this young teenager is growing at an incredible speed, and Sukulini is called "Bundesliga double star" by the German media .

"Damn it, tell you not to treat me like a child." Weizel, who turned his head but kept his ears up to pay attention to the conversation here, heard Mo Fei's tease, and couldn't help shouting again, "There is always One day, I'll beat your team with the team and prove to you that I'm a man!"

"Ah?" Mo Fei froze for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Okay, that's the deal. I'll wait for you."

"Okay, Mo, let's catch up on the old days later, the draw ceremony is about to start, we have to pass." Salihovic was also laughed at by Weizel's childish remarks, and he pointed to a place not far away. The energetic, dark-haired German man signaled that they had to go.

Could it be that he knew that he was the new head coach of Hoffenheim, Pezaioli, but he had no intention of going up to get acquainted with him, after all, he didn't know each other at all, and there was no need to know him.The head coach of Hoffenheim in his heart will always be Ralph Rangnick. He doesn't want to know about the others, let alone know them.

"Goodbye, Sead. Good luck."

Mo Fei hugged Weizel and Salihovich again, and waved goodbye reluctantly.

At this time, the guests who participated in the draw ceremony also came to the scene one after another. Leopard Eusebio, Portuguese superstar Rui Costa... Their arrival made the conference hall even more star-studded.

The host of the draw ceremony was UEFA Secretary-General Taylor. He introduced the rules and procedures of the draw. Among the total 32 teams, 16 teams directly entered the UEFA Champions League this season. These include traditional giants such as Arsenal, Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​and Real Madrid.The other 16 teams obtained the final qualification through play-offs, such as Zilina, Palaciocos, Roma and other teams.Among them, Israel's Tel Aviv workers, Slovakia's Zilina and the Bundesliga's Hoffenheim are newcomers to the Champions League for the first time.

Tottenham can only be regarded as half of the "new army". In the late 70s, they were the "soy sauce party" of the Champions League.But it doesn't matter whether they are new to the Champions League. Tottenham only embarked on the road to revival last season, and not many people care about them at all.
