Chapter 109 The Lottery Ceremony
Jiang Shan didn't know why there were so many Chinese reporters. They appeared together in Nyon, Switzerland, forming a special landscape, full of passion and confidence. When they saw each relevant person who was promoted to the team, they rushed over with long guns and short guns.

Campola is honored to be the latest interview subject. It is conceivable that the Monaco team will reveal countless details of the team to the Chinese audience, which is great.

Jiang Shan said, "Brothers, he is the chairman of Monaco, interview him." It easily overshadowed his identity as the head coach, the interim head coach.

After the flames of war drew to Campora, Jiang Shan retreated and found a secluded cafe, hey, there are acquaintances.

"Jiangshan, come and sit down. Have another cup of coffee." The English with a strong Scottish accent was not pleasant at all.

Jiang Shan immediately recognized that Ferguson's team is also the first in the group, so it is normal to appear here.And Leeds is too close to Manchester United, Jiangshan often sees this red-nosed old man.

"David Gill blocked the gun for you?" Jiang Shan sat down carelessly, "You are in a good mood, are you ready to deal with Real Madrid?"

"Haha, I also think we will play Real Madrid." Ferguson laughed.

As soon as the group stage qualifying situation came out, all the media focus was on Manchester United vs. Real Madrid.Even the head coaches of both sides did not deny that they would meet each other.

Phil Neville said in an interview: "I hope to meet Real Madrid later, but I have a strong feeling that we will draw them."

He seems to understand the operation of the top management of the Champions League very well!Ferguson wanted revenge even more. In the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in the 1999-2000 season, Manchester United drew 0:0 away with Real Madrid. They fell behind 0:3 at home and finally caught up to 2:3. Unfortunately, they were out.

Real Madrid never wanted to step on Manchester United to advance. The whole team hoped to meet Manchester United, and Manchester United was settled.Figo said directly that he most hopes to meet Manchester United, especially Manchester United also has a coach who is his friend.

Ferguson's assistant coach Queiroz is a friend of Figo. Figo won the World Youth Championship in 1991, and it was Queiroz who led the team.

Jiang Shan sipped his coffee and said with a smile, "How do you plan to deal with them? They are up and down, looking like they are determined by Manchester United. It seems that your domineering is not enough, Real Madrid has always regarded you as the second team!"

"The lottery hasn't been drawn yet, why think so much?" Ferguson shrugged. "It is also possible for us to meet Juventus. Of course, they would prefer to meet Barcelona."

Lippi just took over the interview and said clearly that he wants to meet Barcelona, ​​and his team has not played against Barcelona.Piero also thinks the same way. They don't want to meet their opponents in the same league. It is a good choice to play against Barcelona.

Ferguson suddenly laughed, "Are you trying to talk to me again? I think you are most likely to meet Real Madrid. A new power meets an old giant. What a gimmick."

"Unfortunately, we don't have enough positions, otherwise it would be very exciting to play two games against Real Madrid." Jiang Shan is not worried. He has changed history and is in the first place in the group stage. It is impossible to meet AC Milan and Valencia, but Inter Milan, Juventus and Real Madrid are all very likely.

"We are not Real Madrid's second team. If they want to eat us, they will lose a layer of skin." Jiang Shan added, "I saw that the Champions League is too fierce, and I am already preparing for a summer transfer."

After speaking, he got up and left, ready to draw a lottery.

…………

"I said you guy, why did you run away?" Campola asked Jiangshan, "I was tortured by those reporters. These days, the chairman is more popular than the head coach."

"That's a must, you must be welcome." Jiang Shan smiled, "The lottery is about to start, I hope you have good luck."

"I'm very unlucky, I hope you lead a strong team." Campola hated iron and steel, "I hope to draw the worst team, alas... in Monaco, you can't embarrass him too much, right?"

The first team to be drawn out has a bit of a disadvantage in the schedule. It is a lot of pressure on the team that is not good enough.

Sure enough, Real Madrid lived up to expectations and was the first to be drawn out. They would play at home first. The top four teams in the group were all worried. Manchester United, Milan, Barcelona and Monaco didn't like this opponent.

The first matchup was about to be drawn, Jiang Shan looked at Ferguson, and Ferguson looked at him.

"Manchester United!"

No surprises, it was Manchester United, Real Madrid against Manchester United.Ferguson smiled, expressionless, hating UEFA.

The second team to be drawn is AC Milan. Ancelotti is very calm. They are not afraid of any team in the Champions League, and they have performed exceptionally well in the league this season, firmly occupying No.1, which is even more terrifying than Juventus.

The second drawn team, the second team in the group, did not have the same country derby, Benitez's Valencia.

Valencia met AC Milan, and both have hopes of winning.Benitez is eager to prove himself in Europe, and AC Milan is his best target.

The second group of duels, Valencia and AC Milan, Milan first host and then guest.

Jiang Shan was a little surprised, why hasn't he been drawn out yet?Has Monaco been forgotten?Compared with the super giants, Monaco's club is too small.

In the third group duel, Inter Milan was drawn out, and they only got the second place in the group, which is a pity.With their ability, they can definitely get the first place in the group.

Monaco also met them in the first round of the group stage. The first game Jiang Shan coached was against Inter Milan.Fortunately, he lived up to his fate and won the away game, continuing his coaching career.

Cooper looked nervously at the other top opponents in the group, leaving only Barcelona and Monaco.He very much hopes to meet Barcelona, ​​"Not Monaco, not Jiangshan."

For some reason, Cooper didn't want to face Jiang Shan very much. Jiang Shan had thoroughly studied his tactics, which made it difficult for him to defeat Jiang Shan.

If it was Barcelona, ​​that would be great, he was not afraid of Barcelona.

The beautiful Monica holds another small ball, "Monaco!"

As soon as the words fell, Cooper smiled wryly, Jiang Shan smiled slightly, and it turned out to be Inter Milan.It is still going to the city of Milan, the history that cannot be bypassed.

Jiang Shan looked at his palm, and quickly thought about how to deal with Inter Milan.Difficult to deal with, Inter Milan is now gradually falling behind in Serie A, and most of their thoughts are on the Champions League. Monaco wants to cross this hurdle, which is tantamount to winning the Ligue [-] championship.

In the last set of matchups, Juventus played against Barcelona, ​​Lippi's dream came true, Barcelona's head coach Antić didn't look very good, he didn't like Juventus' style.These two games were also difficult to play.

Manchester United played against Real Madrid; Milan played against Valencia; Monaco played against Inter Milan; Barcelona played against Juventus, the quarterfinals, every opponent is difficult to deal with, and every game is difficult to win.

Sure enough, there was no derby in the same country, the blessing of the fans, the blessing of UEFA.
