528 Is Regret Useful?
In the evening, the Grimaldi Convention Centre in Monaco is lit up. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
A long red carpet was laid out outside the center's gates, and it was crowded with reporters and enthusiastic fans from afar.
Welcome cars carried all the guests who came to the event to the red carpet, whether they were football bigwigs, popular superstars, or former celebrities, each of which caused a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
Accompanied by Blanca, Gao Han also appeared on the scene.
As soon as I got out of the car, there was an extremely enthusiastic exclamation at the scene.
Everyone knew he was coming, and they had been looking forward to it, and now it was finally there.
With the previous hype of Mourinho's bombardment of Gao Han and accusing Inter Milan of not deserving of a seeded place, everyone is looking forward to the appearance of Gao Han, and at the same time looking forward to the upcoming Champions League group stage draw.
I wonder if UEFA will follow the will of the people and draw Inter Milan and Chelsea together?
If media reporters and fans were accusing UEFA of operating in the dark before, then now, for the first time, they wish that UEFA would really operate in the dark, because it is too interesting, isn't it?
Gao Han walked down the red carpet, waving to people shouting his name along the way, but walked quickly into the venue.
The lobby on the ground floor of the conference center is also crowded and lively.
UEFA officials, club executives, popular stars who have been shortlisted for the best awards, or celebrities who have retired but still have influence, they all get together in groups and chatter about the hot topics in football.
And in recent times, the hottest is of course the grudge between Mourinho and Gao Han.
Therefore, as soon as Gao Han entered the venue, everyone in the audience immediately looked at him and became the focus of the audience.
"Ha, you're finally here. As soon as Paul Futtre saw Gao Han enter the door, he was the first to greet him.
The technical director of Atletico Madrid is a former football legend and still has a lot of status in the circle.
"Long time no see, Paul. Gao Han hugged Paul Futrey cordially.
The two are already old friends, and there is nothing to be polite about.
"Eh, what's the situation between you and Jose Mourinho?"
"It's really nothing. Gao Han shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, I really don't know him well, I don't know why he caught me, maybe he was jealous of my handsomeness." ”
"Pull you down. Paul Futre laughed and scolded, "But that kid does have a little belly and can't hold sand in his eyes." ”
Also Portuguese, Paulo Futre is quite familiar with Mourinho and knows the character of a madman.
It should be said that judging from the bracket, Chelsea did suffer a loss.
UEFA's reference for the draw for the Champions League group stage is European points, but European points include not only the Champions League, but also the UEFA Cup, which leads to many teams being able to score very good points just by brushing the UEFA Cup.
On the contrary, like Chelsea, although the Premier League has won three consecutive championships, its strength is not strong, but it can be put on the European stage, but it still failed to take advantage and was forced to only rank second.
Don't underestimate the first and second gears, but the gap is quite large.
Pot 1 is a team that is really strong, with strong teams such as Barcelona, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Atletico Madrid, which almost represent the highest level of European football today.
In the second pot, although there are strong teams such as Lyon, Bayern Munich, Valencia, Chelsea and Roma, there are also relatively easy teams such as Porto, PSV Eindhoven and Celtic.
In other words, the team in the first pot may not draw a strong team, but the team in the second pot will definitely draw the most difficult team, which is the real reason for Mourinho's complaints.
If Chelsea had been unlucky enough to draw a strong team in the group stage and ended up playing exhausted, coupled with the misery of the Premier League and no winter break adjustments, how far could Jose Mourinho's side go?
Green Wald has told Gao Han before that Mourinho is under a lot of pressure right now, especially in the Champions League.
Abramovich has invested so much for many years, if Mourinho can't get results again, I'm afraid it will ......
However, Gao Han didn't have the slightest sympathy for this, because he brought it all on himself.
From the time he met Abramovich in private, he should have known that there would be today.
"Eh, by the way, why don't you respond?" Paul Futrey laughed, fearing that the world would not be confused.
"What's the response to this?" Gao Han asked with a smile, "Just hit it directly!"
Paul Futrey burst out laughing, pointing at Gao Han so vigorously that he was speechless.
This high cold is still the same as the high cold of the year, it has not changed at all, and it is also a master who refuses to give in easily.
While Gao Han was chatting with Paul Futré, Barcelona also walked into the lobby.
Black Swan Rijkaard led the team to last season's Champions League title, and the performance is not outstanding, and he is also the favorite for the best award in this Champions League, with nominations for all four major awards, and there is a good chance of a bumper harvest.
This also made Rijkaard very popular at the scene, but after several Barcelona players entered the venue, they quickly walked towards Gao Han and surrounded him.
"Boss. ”
"You're going to kill me, boss. ”
Ronaldinho, Eto'o and Deco hugged Gao Han tightly, making everyone on the scene feel their love for the manager, and also made everyone suddenly realize that Barcelona can have today, Gao Han has contributed a lot.
Of course, the group of players brought in by Barcelona are all begging for money.
The boy Messi still looked green, a little shy, and was a little excited when he saw Gao Han, but he didn't pounce like the other three, after all, the time he played under Gao Han, and the friendship with Gao Han was not as good as the other three, but what he didn't expect was that after Gao Han got rid of the entanglement of the three, he was the first to find him.
"Leo, I've watched all your games in Barcelona recently, you have to learn to protect yourself, don't stick to the ball too much, too many injuries are not good for you, you have to pass when you need to, run smart, you will be more threatening. ”
Messi hugged Gao Han hard, and he was very moved, because he knew that his status in Gao Han's mind was no less than that of popular superstars such as Ronaldinho, and the boss was still full of expectations for him.
Otherwise, why would the boss take time out of his busy schedule to watch his game?
The rest of the crowd was also saddened by the sight, especially Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon in the crowd.
Alpine's ability to develop players is obvious to all, whether it's Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o and Deco, they have all proven it.
Like Messi, who was favored when he was at Chelsea, continued to be relied upon after joining Barcelona, and is now one of the top rookies in European football, not losing to Inter Milan's Cristiano Ronaldo.
There is also Cesc Fabregas and Robin van Persie, who Chelsea traded for Ashley Cole, and the England left wing-back did perform well, but compared to Fabregas and Robin van Persie's performances at Arsenal, the deal was a big loss.
The reason why Abramovich has been angry frequently in recent times is that he still regrets not being at the beginning.
A deal forced Gao Han to leave angrily, Chelsea's dynasty road came to an abrupt end, and Mourinho was replaced, and the gap with Gao Han was not half a point, how did Abramovich balance?
Does regret work?
Peter Kenyon is mixed, but others are more admired.
Looking at the players that Gao Han has cultivated in the past few years, as long as he can train one of them, it is enough for him to talk about it for a lifetime, but Gao Han has cultivated so much in just a few years, how can people not admire it?
Because of this, Gao Han's status in European football is also increasing day by day.
…………
…………
Gao Han's mentoring and apprenticeship meeting did not last long, and the organizers quickly informed everyone that the lottery ceremony and award ceremony were about to begin, and invited them to enter.
The award ceremony was held in conjunction with the draw ceremony and was live-streamed.
However, it has little to do with Inter.
The nomination for the best award is based on last season's Champions League performance, but Inter Milan did not play in the Champions League, so they could not be shortlisted.
The first part of the whole party is to award the best goalkeeper.
There are three goalkeepers nominated for the best goalkeeper in Arsenal's Lehmann, Barcelona's Valdés and Atletico Madrid's Petr Cech, all of whom were the best goalkeepers in the Champions League last season.
In the end, Arsenal goalkeeper Lehmann beat Valdés and Petr Cech to claim the award.
After all, he helped Arsenal reach the Champions League final for the first time in their history.
Immediately after the award of the best goalkeeper, the first part of the group stage draw, the draw of the seeded team, took place.
As a result, Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, AC Milan, Barcelona and Inter Milan were drawn one by one and placed in each of the eight groups.
This was followed by the award of the best defender, which was presented by former superstar Michel Laudrup, who eventually beat out the other rivals to take the award, and he and Laudrup went on to draw for the second team.
Before the draw began, Laudrup jokingly asked Puyol which of the many teams in Pot 2 he least wanted to draw?
As a result, Puyol also jokingly said that the team he least wanted to meet was assigned to the first gear, and the big screen behind him at that time had ulterior motives to point the camera at Gao Han, which made the audience laugh.
Everyone knows that during Gao Han's tenure at Atletico Madrid, Barcelona suffered a lot, and Puyol himself has said in interviews many times that it was the most terrible team he had ever encountered.
Therefore, everyone suspects that the Barcelona captain should be relieved by now.
But the draw still has to go ahead.
With Puyol and Laudrup in their hands, teams in Pot 2 were constantly drawn out and assigned to different groups.
Lyon, Valencia, Eindhoven, Rome......
One team after another has been drawn, and there are fewer and fewer options left for Barcelona and Inter Milan.
Especially when the last three or four teams were drawn, every time one was drawn, the scene was a gasp.
Obviously, no one wants to run into Barcelona and Inter Milan.
"The team drawn in the sixth group in Pot 2 is ......" Puyol took the ball fished out by Laudrup, opened it and read the name inside, "Porto!"
The audience was in an uproar.
At this moment, there are only two small balls left in the tank, representing the two teams.
Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
The strong dialogue is already unstoppable, the question is, can Mourinho do the trick he wants to draw Inter Milan?
