I am the king of martial arts

Chapter 161 Competitor Callejon

On Wednesday, Ernesto Valverde went to Monte Carlo, and Ruby was in charge of training the team, but everyone was obviously not focused on training today. Although Ruby was helpless, he had no choice but to end the training early.

Because everyone wants to know the results of the UEFA Cup draw.

When Ruby announced the end of training early, Jarke ran faster than anyone else, and even the veteran De La Pena ran forward.

Worry, if assigned to a super strong team, the Spaniard's trip to the UEFA Cup will be miserable.

The UEFA Cup is even more difficult than the UEFA Champions League, because there are many matches and many opponents, and it is too difficult to advance.

Today is the first round of the main match. It doesn't mean that you can go to the group stage, but you can only go to the group stage after defeating an opponent.

So the draw is very important.

Swish, swish, the club meeting room is already full of first-team players, as well as members of the coaching staff and other staff. Everyone is very concerned about the future of the Spaniard.

※※※※

Monaco, Monte Carlo.

Valverde sat upright, didn't walk around like other coaches, and kept chatting with other coaches.Here, he is no longer a rookie. After all, he led the Spaniard to the UEFA Cup final the year before last.And he is sitting here today with a clear goal, he hopes to set sail again and lead the Spaniard to the UEFA Cup final again.

Although it seems quite difficult, if there is no ideal, what are you doing here?Is it just for the club to generate income in the UEFA Cup?

Do not,
He is eager to return to the stage of that final...

According to the rules of the UEFA Cup, 32 teams are selected from the qualifying round, 32 teams advance directly, and 16 teams come from the teams that lost in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.A total of 80 teams were first divided into 8 groups, 10 teams in each group, and then the 5 seed teams in each group were determined according to the European War points in the past 5 years.

Although the Spaniard won the UEFA Cup runner-up last season, but the points in the past five years are not enough to see, so it is definitely impossible to be a seeded team.

Bundesliga teams are quite strong in the UEFA Cup. Schalke 04, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Hertha Berlin are all seeded teams, while Dortmund and Wolfsburg are unseeded teams, but six teams also have four. The team has become a seeded team.

As a result, the Spaniards fell into the fourth group, and their opponent was the Finnish Honka.

The other matches in Group Four are:

Everton vs Standard Liege
Napoli vs Benfica

Bellinzona vs Galatasaray

Breda, Netherlands vs Dynamo Bucharest
联盟杯正塞第一轮的两回合的比赛将于9月18日和10月2日进行，胜者将进入联盟杯小组赛的争夺，小组赛的抽签将在10月7日进行。

Anyway, the UEFA Cup is the most difficult event. In this year's event, there are still many giants who accidentally came here.

Such as AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Ajax...

This is still the present, when it comes to No.3 who was eliminated in the Champions League group stage, there are even more giants.

Therefore, winning the UEFA Cup is more difficult than winning the Champions League.Now the influence of the UEFA Cup is a little bit worse, if it was placed more than ten years ago?The Champions Cup, UEFA Cup, Cup Winners' Cup, the three major European cups are almost equally famous, and it is not easy to win any one of them.

※※※※

"Finnish Honka? Never heard of it..."

"The Finnish Football League is nothing in Europe, we can definitely get to the group stage."

"The draw is good, we can play the league with peace of mind first."

After the results of the draw came out, the Spaniard's meeting room was full of joy, and everyone was full of hope for the prospect of the UEFA Cup.

"Stone, Tamudo invited the whole team to dinner tonight, you have to come."

After coming out of the locker room, Harke stopped Wu Sanshi.

As the captain of the team, before the start of each season, Tamudo will pay for his teammates to have dinner privately, which has become a tradition.The captain has the responsibility and obligation to bring the team together.

Naturally, Wu Sanshi would not refuse, he is a gregarious child.

"I'll be there."

Just a few steps away, there was another voice behind him, this time it was Casilla.He turned his head to look, only to find a strange guy standing with him.His face was thin and green, his eyes were pointed, and he looked a bit thief.

It looks familiar, but I can't remember seeing it there.

Casilla put his arm around Callejon and seemed to have a good relationship.

"Hey, Kiko, who is this?"

"Jose Callejon, just joined the Espanyol club."

Casilla immediately introduced.

"Oh, welcome."

Wu Sanshi smiled and stretched out his hand, thinking that it was Callejon, no wonder he looked so familiar.He was the guy who rode on Mourinho back then, but unfortunately he still failed to stay in Real Madrid in the end, and finally left for Naples in Italy.

His career is not bad, but he has not been able to play at the level of a star, so he can only be regarded as a good player.

"Hello, Stone, I've heard of your name for a long time."

Callejon still speaks very politely.

Wu Sanshi's memory of him only stays in his previous life, and now Callejon really doesn't know anything.In my memory, Callejon should play as a winger, and he seems to be a competitor in the new season.

"He is my good friend in Real Madrid. We will all be on the same boat in the future, and we should take care of each other more in everything."

"necessary."

"I'll pick you up for dinner tonight? I bought a new car."

"Ha, well, Kiko, I'll wait for you at home."

……

After bidding farewell to Casilla and Callejon, Wu Sanshi returned home, turned on the computer, and searched for Callejon's files.I don't know if I don't see it, but I was shocked when I saw it.

In the 2007-08 season, Callejon played 37 times in the Real Madrid B team, scored 21 goals, and won the West Second B Golden Boot of the season.

"sharp."

"Second Division B Golden Boot."

"It doesn't look like there is no big competition..."

Wu Sanshi suddenly realized that the new season is not so comfortable. There is still a lot of competition on the front line. Unless he is not pursuing and is willing to walk between the main force and the substitute, otherwise he will have to show a fairly good performance. .

There is no doubt that it is impossible for Valverde to put the West Second B Golden Boot on the bench, and it will definitely give him many opportunities.Both Garcia and Tamudo are veteran players who have proven themselves with too many performances, and they also performed well last season...

At seven o'clock in the evening, Casilla drove his new car to Wu Sanshi's house, and picked Wu Sanshi into the car.

As soon as he got in the car, Casilla started bragging.

"Stone, the club gave me a salary increase this season. I officially became the No. [-] goalkeeper. You have to work harder and try to raise your salary. Although you are on loan, Ajax and the Spaniard will give you Are you getting paid?"

"How much is your weekly salary?"

"Hey, guess what."

"1?"

"About...a little over 1."

"Stone, I reckon you'll get as much as that soon."

"Uh..." What could Wu Sanshi say?
"My Audi S4 cost me [-] euros, nearly a month's salary."

"Oh, I want to have a car like this too."

Callejon in the back seat said enviously, "But my current salary is too little..."

Wu Sanshi: ...
