What should I do if I exploded directly?

Chapter 406 Champions League grouping, facing the old club

Three days later, the team defeated Elfsborg 1:2 away in Sweden, passed the two rounds 9:1, and entered the Champions League.

The Espanyol team came off the bench and Paulinho scored twice, making people look at Wenger with admiration again.

And one day later, UEFA held the UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony for the 2007-2008 season, held in Barcelona.

UEFA is now also following the trend and is no longer limited to Switzerland or France. Barcelona now has two Champions League teams, Barcelona and Espanyol, and Jia Yi is also here. Therefore, this time, the group will be held in Barcelona The draw is also a care.

As the host, Jia Yi also entertained many friends, and his big villa also came in handy.

When he was in London before, he rarely brought friends home to hold parties. This time, he also held a party and invited Zidane, Ronaldo, Messi and other players to his home.

Claudia is also very enthusiastic. She cooks herself and cooks several tables of delicious dishes.

Of course, the Chinese food part is also doing well. Claudia learned a lot of cooking skills from her mother-in-law in China.

After the dinner began, everyone couldn't wait to taste the food.

"My God, Brother Yi, this fried chicken with green peppers is so delicious." Ronaldo said while gnawing on a chicken leg, his mouth full of oil.

Jia Yi smiled and said, "That's right, this chicken was raised in my own yard and airlifted from China.

Our Chinese cooking technology pays attention to taste and appearance. Relatively speaking, the process may be a little longer, but it will definitely make you feel enjoyable when you eat it. "

Zidane is also tasting a sauce and vinegar pork ribs, and he eats it all.

"This is good, I like it." Zidane said with satisfaction.

Everyone went to pick up a piece of ribs, and they ate with relish.

It was a delicious meal, and everyone enjoyed it very much.

After finishing the work, everyone came to the yard to chat while blowing the sea breeze.

"Brother Yi, you should not be able to win the Champions League this season, right? Are you still weak in strength?" Ronaldo said cautiously.

Jia Yi patted him and said, "It's hard to tell. Although our defense is a bit weak, our offense is not bad. When we meet us, Manchester United will be unlucky."

Zidane smiled and said, "That's right. Fortunately, we are in the same league and we won't be drawn into a group. I can rest assured."

Messi also said: "That's right, it's best not to meet in the knockout round, or it will be a headache."

Kaka said: "It will always happen. I have a hunch that this time UEFA might draw Arsenal and the Espanyol team together. Haha, there will be news at that time."

Jia Yi said: "It's possible, it turned out to be relatively normal, and there may be stories this year.

We are in a group, I will not play at the Emirates Stadium, you have to be careful not to drop points on other teams, otherwise, it may not be possible to qualify. "

Jia Yi will not go to the away game, he still cares about the emotions of Arsenal fans.

Therefore, there are more opportunities left for Arsenal.

The next day, the UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony officially began.

The opening ceremony was very intense, and the Catalan-style dance made all the guests very satisfied.

The subsequent draw was not so easy. Everyone was thinking that they must not draw the fourth-tier Espanyol team.

If it is drawn, it will be designated as the group of death.

The first draw was Liverpool, they entered Group A, Chelsea entered Group B, Real Madrid were seeded in Group C, and AC Milan entered Group D.

Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Inter Milan and Arsenal hold Groups E to G respectively.

Then the second-tier team was drawn, and Roma and Manchester United were drawn into another group. It was really a narrow road to each other. The last time the two teams met in the quarter-finals, Roma was eliminated miserably.

Chelsea met Schalke 04, Arsenal met PSV, Real Madrid met Werder Bremen.

This all increases the tension. If there is a strong team, it will not be easy to play.

Then the third-tier team was drawn, Real Madrid's group, and Lazio came. Now, it does look like a group of death.

However, Lazio is not what it used to be, and it should be difficult to threaten Real Madrid's qualifying.

Manchester United's group is assigned to Sporting Lisbon. This group is also a bit interesting.

Then the fourth draw was drawn, and the Espanyol team was drawn last. Now, Kaka's previous prediction really came true.

As soon as Jia was about to face his old club, Pierce smiled wryly.

He is well aware of Jia Yi's strength, and this time, Arsenal is obviously not very good at dealing with the Espanyol.

Wenger also showed a weird smile. Now, there is a topic, such as facing his old club, or what happened in the original UEFA Champions League, these are generally suitable for hype.

The grouping details are as follows:

A: Liverpool, Porto, Marseille, Zurich
B: Chelsea, Schalke 04, Rosenborg, Sevilla

C: Real Madrid, Bremen, Lazio, Olympiacos

D: AC Milan, Benfica, Celtic, Shakhtar Donnie

E: Barcelona, ​​Lyon, Stuttgart, Glasgow Rangers

F: Manchester United, Roma, Sporting Lisbon, Dynamo Kiev
G: Inter Milan, Mo Zhonglu, Anderlecht, Slavia Prague
H: Arsenal, PSV, Steaua Bucharest, Espanyol

Bayern did not enter the Champions League this year, but they lacked a strong enemy. Juventus also participated in Serie B last season, and they were not eligible to participate in the Champions League. This has lost two strong teams and many groups. It seems to be relatively balanced.

However, there must be fierce competition to qualify for the group, and no team dares to guarantee that they will qualify.

For the Espanyol team, apart from Arsenal, the other two in the group will not be taken seriously.

Eindhoven's strength is average, not strong when they are strong, not weak when they are weak, and Romanian teams like Steaua Bucharest will not be taken seriously, as long as they are taken seriously, their strength is not enough to threaten the Spaniards Although they are the fourth-tier team, who dares to ignore Jia Yi's team?

After the lottery ceremony, Pierce also came over to chat with Wenger and Jia Yi.

"How do you feel about being assigned to a group?"

Wenger asked with a smile.

Pierce said: "It's okay, we should have no problem qualifying together."

Jia Yi interjected: "Be careful, it's not easy to play away games. This year your league is also a bit unstable. It's probably not good to be as comprehensive as in the past. It's better to use the FA Cup and League Cup to train new players and prepare for the league and the Champions League. .”

Pierce laughed and said: "Look at you, I'm still worried after leaving, but what you said makes sense. I don't have so much thought to deal with the cup this year, so I will use young people to win the championship. If you can't win it, forget it." .

There is a lot of pressure now, you are gone, we are a little uncomfortable playing now, and we have to slowly develop an offensive system.

At the beginning I used Kaka as the core and played around him, but the effect was not very good. In the last round I used Ibrahimovic as the core and played relatively smoothly, beating Manchester City. "

Jia Yi said with a smile: "Ibrahimovic and Kaka must be connected to allow Arsenal to form a multi-faceted offensive system, but Kaka is prone to injuries, you have to be mentally prepared, Hleb and Rosicky are also prone to injuries, hey , I guess that in the future, Xiao Ma will be the organizer."

Pierce's eyes lit up, and he said, "Really, you reminded me that Pony's passing is still good, but after he goes up, someone behind him needs to fill in for him.

I envy you guys. Toure and Ballack play double midfielders. One of them is on top and the other is behind. Jia Yi, you can always have a good helper. "

Wenger said with a smile: "That's not true, our team is actually not weak, and many people will be surprised if they ignore us.

In my opinion, after Arsenal has gone through a dynasty, it is also time to train new players. It is normal that they will not win a championship this year, but they must be bold in the use of young players. That Bale is a good talent. Train well Come out, and I will definitely reward you in the future. "

Pierce nodded. Bell is prone to injuries, and his physical confrontation is a bit weak. Otherwise, he will definitely train him every game.

And Pierce has no right to transfer players, and he has nothing to do. He can only use whatever players Arnesen gives him.

Hopefully he can make it through the winter break.
