The first ball drawn by Sir Charlton was Schalke 04 from the Bundesliga, and then in full view, the ball with the name of Schalke 04 and the ball drawn by Blank with Group E were put together. This means that the Bundesliga club will be in the same group as AC Milan and PSV Eindhoven this season!

Both Carlo Ancelotti and Galliani were extremely pleased with the result. Although PSV Eindhoven and Schalke 04 are strong, the former has suffered serious blood loss this summer, and the team's strength has declined is an indisputable fact, and it is basically impossible to play the amazing performance of last season. And although the latter has greatly increased its strength after the introduction of stars such as Kuranyi and Ernst, the "miners" who are difficult to compete with Bayern in the Bundesliga will obviously not be the opponent of AC Milan, which is stronger than Bayern!

Immediately afterwards, Werder Bremen, another Bundesliga team in the third tier, were placed in Group C where Barcelona are located. Seeing this scene, Rijkaard and Laporta couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief - although Bremen's strength is not weak, once they let them play in form, they can even beat Bayern, but compared to meeting Tottenham, a top team in the group stage, they are still happy to accept this result!

After Bremen, Belgian giants Anderlecht and Rangers were drawn to Group D and Group G respectively to be accompanied by Manchester United and Inter Milan. As soon as these two results came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. Because in this way, there are only four teams left in the third tier that have not been drawn, and Tottenham Hotspur, which is deeply feared by all the first and second tier teams, is one of them!

Given the rules of avoidance in the same group of their home teams, and the fact that two of the remaining four groups already have Premier League teams, when the ball with Tottenham was taken out by Bobby Charlton, the eyes of several managers such as Capello, Magath, Houllier and Heathfield were firmly focused on Blanc on the other side of the stage. Because they all know very well in their hearts that from the current situation, Tottenham can only enter Group A where Juventus and Bayern are located, or Group F where Real Madrid and Lyon are located!

By the way, after getting and adopting George's advice, Galeries Lafayette resolutely dismissed Brazilian coach Luxemberg this summer, and instead sent an invitation to Deschamps, who is coaching at Monaco, but was politely rejected by the former captain of the French national team - Deschamps is not stupid, he can see that although it seems to be a rather honorable thing to become the head coach of the galaxy, Real Madrid will never give him the same power and trust as when he coached at Monaco!

Not to mention, Real Madrid's superstars are either in their twilight years (Zidane, Carlos) or in form (Ronaldo, Raul), and the team's top-heavy and midfield weakness has always plagued the galaxy built by Florentino. Therefore, leaving Monaco to coach at Real Madrid at this time is obviously not a wise move in the eyes of Deschamps!

Also choosing to turn down Real Madrid's offer were former Real Madrid coach Bosque and Dutch coach Louis van Gaal. The former fulfilled the promise that "as long as Florentino is still in Real Madrid, I will never go back to coaching" and resolutely refused to return to the Bernabeu to clean up the mess for Lafayette;

Florentino apparently didn't expect this to happen either. In Lafayette's vision, he originally thought that with Real Madrid's current popularity and influence, once he released the signal of selecting a coach, many famous coaches would take the initiative to ask to coach the Galaxy Battleship. However, the cruel reality once again made Lafayette realize that the current Real Madrid is no longer as attractive to stars and coaches as it was in previous years!

In the end, after a difficult journey to select a coach, Florentino invited Heathfield, who was idle at home, to be the new coach of Real Madrid, hoping that the German coach, who had led Dortmund and Bayern Munich to the top of Europe, could help Real Madrid get out of the current predicament and get the Galaxy back on the winning track!

That's a long way off, now let's get down to business. Under the nervous gaze of Heathfield and others, Blank, who had enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight, unhurriedly pulled out a small ball, and then opened it in front of everyone and said the contents of the note inside the ball: "Group F! Congratulations to Tottenham Hotspur for becoming the third club to be placed in Group F!"

Hearing the results of the draw announced by the host, Capello and Magath suddenly felt relaxed, and almost sang a song to express their excitement at the moment. Heathfield and Houllier's expressions were a little ugly at this time, obviously, they didn't want to meet such an extremely strong opponent in the group stage!

How can it not be frustrated that Heathfield and Houllier have only joined their teams this summer and need to solidify their positions with actual performances, only to be relegated to a group of death?

"I'll you! Johansson, old boy, can't you leak anything in advance? Why do you still have to play such a game with my ally!" When Bobby Charlton and Blanc standing on the stage put together the balls with Tottenham Hotspur and Group F respectively written on their faces, George couldn't help but lower his voice and scolded the UEFA president fiercely!

George can still guess the idea of Johansson pulling Tottenham together with Real Madrid and Lyon - obviously, Aulas's performance in cheering for Platini at the G14 meeting has reached Johansson's ears. Therefore, Johansson will draw Tottenham and Real Madrid into the same group, intending to use the hands of the two of them to strangle Lyon in the group stage!

However, although Johansson's intentions can be understood, it does not mean that George will be happy to act according to the other party's ideas. While it is a blessing not to be in the same group as Juventus and Bayern Munich again, they are in the same group as Real Madrid and Lyon. Obviously, it's not a very good result - Real Madrid is no longer at its peak, but it is really unknown what changes will be made under Heathfield in this lifetime! Not to mention Lyon, the Ligue 1 club has been at the peak of its club's history for the past two years, and it will take a lot of effort for anyone who wants to win them!

Therefore, in the eyes of the ambitious George, Johansson's approach has undoubtedly become a stumbling block on Tottenham's way forward this season!
