Chapter 184 Eindhoven
(fourth more)

This season, Monaco can only be regarded as a fourth-tier team. It feels a bit strange to come in from the outside.But here they are.

The rhythm of grouping is very fast. First, the seeded teams draw lots and divide into groups.Eight seeded teams, Bayern, Arsenal, Deportivo, Juventus, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Lazio and AC Milan.Inter Milan, Chelsea, and Porto are only the second-tier teams. As long as they are divided into these teams, they can be called the death group.

Adding Monaco in the fourth tier, if they get together, it will be a super death group. The group stage is miserable, let alone the knockout stage.

Monaco was lucky, the factors of the previous life reappeared, and they were assigned to Group C where Deportivo was, and they were not in the same group as strong teams like Chelsea and Porto.

The four teams in Group C are the same as the last one, Deportivo, Eindhoven, AEK Athena and Monaco. The strength is relatively balanced. Monaco's current strength is superior to the group, and it is not a big problem to qualify.

Jiang Shan smiled, "I didn't expect there to be old welfare. It seems that the possibility of continuing to enter the Champions League final this season is very high."

I thought he changed history, and the situation this season will be completely different. The situation in other groups has changed, but the group where Monaco is in has not changed much.

The pressure on Jiangshan has dropped sharply. No matter what, they have to reach the Champions League final. Porto hopes to enter the final, which is exciting.Last season's Champions League champions and UEFA Cup champions will meet in the new season's Champions League final.

The two teams have just played against each other in the Super Cup. Jiangshan is sure to kill Mourinho again, but will history repeat itself like the previous life?unlikely.

Feeling the coldness behind him, Jiang Shan looked back and smiled professionally.

Well, the head coaches of Deportivo, PSV Eindhoven and AEK Athena all stared at him with depressed eyes.

Who wants to be with this madman?Is UEFA black?Jiangshan is already the most popular young coach in Europe, even veteran coaches are tricky, let alone a few quasi-rich head coaches?

"Forget it, let's fight for second place."

"Forget it, let's fight for a place in the UEFA Cup!"

The head coaches of the three teams were depressed and comforted themselves silently.Jiang Shan rubbed his nose, he didn't seem to have offended them, did he?Why do you treat me like a sworn enemy?

The lottery is over, some are happy and some are sad.

Real Madrid and Porto were divided into a group, and Queiroz couldn't bear it. After all, Mourinho is his little fellow. When meeting at this time, killing his prestige always feels a little guilty.

Arsenal and Inter Milan are divided into a group, Wenger is sharpening his sword, it is time to produce results, they have smashed the Quartet in the Premier League this season, even if Manchester United has Ronaldinho joining, they still cannot shake Arsenal's strong position.

The Premier League upstart Chelsea and Lazio have long wanted to win the top spot in the group and announced that they are worthy of the huge amount of money invested by Abramovich.

After the lottery was over, Ranieri walked towards Jiangshan wearing thick glasses, "I have heard about Kenyon seeking you. After all, Chelsea is a private owner. It is not easy to work here, but I still thank you for your words."

Jiang Shan smiled amiably, "I respect every head coach. The team is not a plaything. Tossing around will only cause greater trouble. You are the most suitable head coach for Chelsea at this stage."

The team has just changed owners, it is best to stay stable for a year to see the results, and change coaches rashly, it is easy to be turbulent.If it were Jiangshan, he would not be sure to suppress the big players in the Chelsea team. He is still young and there are many veterans in Chelsea, so he may not buy it.

Monica licked her lips and stared at Jiang Shan reminiscingly, "When will you go back to Germany? Enjoy your vacation? I heard that Heidi Klum and the others miss you very much."

Jiang Shan felt worried. We are all good friends playing firecrackers together. We must not fall in love with each other for a long time. The artillery fire has no eyes.

"If I have the opportunity, I will go to Germany. I like the scenery there, and the simple folk customs and the masses." Jiangshan is confident and generous, making people think he is talking about business.

Monica raised her long legs, "Remember to call me, I'll wait for you."

Jiang Shan's palms were a little itchy, Monica always liked to scratch his palms when shaking hands, her palms were itchy, and her heart was also agitated.

Alas, I can only go back to Monaco one day later. It is not good to have many friends, and I often have to socialize.

…………

The first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage does not start until mid-September, and each team has time to inspect their opponents and prepare for the UEFA Champions League with all their strength.

Prior to this, the sixth round of Ligue [-] was staged normally, Monaco challenged Lille away, Flora made an early comeback.

But the performance was mediocre, with no goals or assists.Hua Luo played the whole game, and he was still coquettish in the game. He kept provoking his opponents with his skills and was knocked down 5 times, which is considered a bright spot.

After the injury, the golf quotient actually regressed.Jiangshan is helpless, young players are like this, their performance is unstable, sometimes they are simply gods, and sometimes people can't wait to be beaten to death with a stick.

Facing Lille, Yaya Toure and Morientes scored goals, the team won away and continued to lead the standings.

At the same time, Marseille lost this round, and the first place in the standings was exclusively occupied by Monaco.

The reporter asked about Hua Luo's performance, and Jiang Shan stood up for him again, "He has just come back, and it is hard to expect a good performance. This is a young player, and there will definitely be a psychological shadow after the injury."

"But I have a lot of confidence in him, he will recover and he will quickly surpass his previous performance. We will wait and see."

Of course, Hua Luo was injured and originally planned to miss three games. He came back early. Jiangshan praised the team's medical team, "I thank the team's medical team. They did a great job. Not only did Ronaldo come back early, but also Morientes maintained a good competitive state. I have more options for team formation, which is a happy trouble."

Claiming to the outside world that the team's medical conditions are good will unknowingly give players enough confidence.In fact, it is more important to keep the players from getting overtired and better protect themselves during the game.

After the Ligue [-], the Champions League group stage started quickly.The first round was an away game against Eindhoven. Facing an open game, it was not easy to play.

Monaco need a win to set the stage for this season's Champions League competition.

Eindhoven, Ajax, and Feyenoord are also known as the top three Dutch football players. They once won the Champions League in 1988.

The momentum has been strong in recent years. Last season's Eredivisie champion, Jiangshan's last life, Eindhoven also won the Eredivisie championship for three consecutive years. In 2005, they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and lost to AC Milan.
