Chapter 665 Champions League Grouping
Juventus expanded its lead, and Donadoni had to let the team attack a little bit. After all, there is only one way left now.

He also made consecutive substitutions, and Juventus paid more attention to the possession of the ball after leading by two goals. Pressing in the midfield.

Parma also got a few chances to counterattack in the later time. Unfortunately, Storari played very well today and did not let Juventus fall. Big mistake.

Romeo blew the whistle when he finished 3 minutes, Juventus made a good start, and Serie A has been unbeaten for 40 consecutive games.

Parma ended its seven-game winning streak in Serie A and suffered a defeat in the first game of the new season, but at Juventus' home court, this result is not a shame.

Biyabiani and Zhang Yuan exchanged jerseys, and the two exchanged some pleasantries. Biyabiani was older than Zhang Yuan, and he said to Zhang Yuan enviously: "Today you have made a good start again. You scored again! Shouldn't you be aiming for your own record this season!"

"Jonathan, I didn't think so much! I hope we can play well this season!" Zhang Yuan said.

After the game, Carrera took Zhang Yuan to the post-match press conference. The reporters also said the same thing. Zhang Yuan was still very low-key, scoring goals was not the goal but the means to win.

It was the first time Carrera led the team to appear in Serie A and got more attention from the reporters.

Carrera still respects Conte's status, and kept saying: "Antonio's role is irreplaceable. I hope to perform my duties well under his guidance. The club trusts me, Antonio trusts me, and I have Confidence to do a good job as a temporary commander! Each of us is looking forward to his return!"

Conte's appeal is still in progress. Who knows what the final result will be. Juventus executives have already prepared for the worst. At worst, Conte will be suspended this season, and Carrera will carry out the agency to the end.

Not the best option for Juventus but the best option.

Why do you say that? First of all, the gambling case is not a simple matter. There are many games behind it. Juventus fired Conte after Conte was suspended. This is undoubtedly a sign of weakness. This tells the enemy in disguise, you fuck me , I admit it!
Secondly, Conte's identity is very different. First, he is the meritorious service of Juventus. Last year, he was selected as the team's top 50 stars. Although his historical status in Juventus is not as high as that of Platini and Del Piero , but it also has its own position. This selection is voted by the fans. Conte has a high status in the hearts of the fans. He stood up again and regained the league championship with an undefeated season, which made his prestige even higher. It would be too unkind to dismiss him, and the fans would definitely object. They definitely hope that the club will stand with the old captain.

Juventus kept him even under the suspension, one is a tough response, and the other is a humane performance, especially Juventus fans have just lost Del Piero.

As a member of the team, Zhang Yuan actually still felt a little inconvenient that Conte could not direct the game on the spot, and remained skeptical about Carrera's temporary replacement.

But this is not a big problem. As long as the team can continue to move forward normally, the players' confidence in Carrera will also increase, and even Carrera will not feel that there is nothing wrong with taking over Conte's coaching position one day. .

Before the next round of the game against Udinese, there is one more important thing, and that is the UEFA Champions League group draw. The draw is very important for every team participating in the competition.

Like Juventus, this season is returning to the UEFA Champions League, but their own strength is not as strong as shown in the league. The whole team hopes to draw a good lottery and be able to be assigned to other relatively weak teams in the group. No, it's easy to advance this way.

However, due to Juventus' poor points in the European war in recent years, even the league champions are included in the third tier of teams, but they are the team most likely to be assigned to the death group.

Serie A has three places to participate in the Champions League this season, but because Udinese was eliminated by Braga in the Portuguese Super League in the play-offs, only Juventus and AC Milan actually participated in the competition.

AC Milan's level is higher than Juventus. They are a team in the first tier, and their condition is definitely better than Juventus. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they have bad luck and were drawn into the death group. You must know that among the teams in the fourth tier And Dortmund, who were the Bundesliga champions last season.

In addition to Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain in the third tier, they have set off a new round of transfer market storm this summer, and their strength has increased dramatically.

The UEFA Champions League draw was held together with the awards ceremony. Zhang Yuan actually received the invitation letter, but Zhang Yuan shirked it himself. Without him, it was obvious that he hadn’t won any awards. He was just a spectator when he went. Zhang Yuan was not very happy to show up. In such a scene, he didn't want to be the background board so he didn't go.

But he still has to pay attention to the draw of the Champions League. Zhang Yuan followed the draw ceremony with Matri at Matri's house.

As the lottery ceremony and award ceremony proceeded, the answer was getting closer and closer. When the first and second teams were drawn, Zhang Yuan and Matri were evaluating which group was the best.

"Group A is definitely the best!" Zhang Yuan said. The first and second teams in Group A are Porto and Dynamo Kiev. Zhang Yuan believes that Juventus must be stronger than them. The encounter with Dortmund, this is Zhang Yuan's old acquaintance, and he is also fearless.

"Don't you want to be in Group D?!" Matri teased Zhang Yuan. Real Madrid and Manchester City were drawn from Group D.

Real Madrid was the champion of La Liga last season, Zhang Yuan's old club, and Manchester City was the champion of the Premier League last season. If Juventus is in, it will be a [-]% death group, and the prospect of qualifying is self-evident.

"You think I'm stupid!" Zhang Yuan scolded with a smile. Mourinho's second year was really not covered. He failed in the league battle in the first year, but in the Champions League, he only lost to Barcelona on penalties. In the second year, Mourinho led the team to victory in the league. Their performance in the Champions League was equally strong, and they were eliminated by Bayern Munich in the semi-finals.

It can be said that Mourinho's determination in the third year is probably to reach the peak in the Champions League. Zhang Yuan is not a masochist, and of course he hopes that his team can avoid it.

Manchester City doesn’t need to go into too much detail, there are few things that cannot be done in the football world when money makes money. Abrahimovic is a role model. !He won the coveted Champions League last season.

There will also be a day for Manchester City, as long as the consortium behind it is willing to pay and not withdraw, maybe it will be able to achieve its goal in ten years like Abrahimovic.

As the answers were revealed one by one, the fate of Juventus was also decided. They happened to be in a group with defending champion Chelsea.

This is Group E. The teams in the first and second tiers are Chelsea and Shakhtar Donetsk, and the team in the third tier is Juventus.

Both Zhang Yuan and Matri were silently praying that Dortmund would not be assigned, nor would the Celtics be assigned.

Perhaps their prayers had some effect. Dortmund was assigned to Group D before Group E. This group has now become a veritable group of death. Real Madrid La Liga champions, Manchester City Premier League champions, Ajax Eredivisie champions , Dortmund Bundesliga champions, if Juventus is drawn into this group, it will be a group that can't die anymore, and the four major league champions gather together.

The last team in Group E is North Sealand. Both Matri and Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. This result is not bad.

Zhang Yuan and Matri immediately began to calculate. Chelsea is undoubtedly the strongest in this group. Although Juventus is in the third tier, they should be second in terms of strength. Shakhtar Donetsk may not be as good as Juventus. Lan should be the weakest, but they should not be underestimated either. They created an upset in the qualifying round, and it was a miracle to reach the main match.
