Chapter 355: Group Stage Draw (Part 2)

This is the end of class?

'Learned' Huelva head coach Manuel Murphy. News of Zambrano's dismissal.

Fang Jue was a little surprised.

Isn't it just a 0-6 loss to Ibiza, it's nothing, Atletico Madrid also lost to Ibiza a 3-8, Valencia also lost 2-7, now Atletico Madrid coach Aguirre and Valencia coach Emery are not still alive and kicking in the position of head coach, especially the latter, when Valencia defeated Ibiza away, Emery was scolded bloody, and then in the fifth round of the league, Valencia defeated Deportivo La Coruna 4-2, and the media praised Emery again.

Fang Jue didn't expect the Huelva Club to have such a strong temperament, it seems that after Huelva was by Ibiza last year, the coach was also changed, Fang Jue sighed, this is a club with a chastity arch on its back.

Of course, it is understandable that Huelva changed the coach, after losing this game, Huelva won six rounds in the league, one win, one draw and four losses, only got four points, ranking third from the bottom of the league, and the relegation situation is very grim - yes, although the season has just begun, but, looking at the current situation, Huelva is very difficult to relegate this season.

The transfer window has been closed, even if it is not closed, a team like Huelva does not have the financial resources to bring in a lot of reinforcements, the composition and strength of the players are like this, the players cannot be changed, they can only fire the coach, isn't there a saying called 'changing the coach is like changing the knife'.

Anyway, seeing that the progress bar of [Six People Slashing] had finally advanced another gear, Fang Jue was still quite relieved in his heart.

When Ibiza was held to a 1-1 draw at home to Maritimo in the UEFA Cup in midweek, there was plenty of weird talk in the media.

But when Ibiza slaughtered Huelva with a 6-0 win and no suspense, all the 'weird stories' disappeared.

With the win, Ibiza overtook Real Madrid on points and finished second in the league with 14 points from four wins, two draws.

The standings are second only to Villarreal, who are at the top of the table with 4 wins, 1 draw and 16 points.

The Yellow Submarine have had a good season, winning all of their last five games except for a 1-1 draw at Osasuna in the first round of the league.

However, compared to Ibiza against the likes of Atletico Madrid and Valencia, Villarreal's victory was relatively weak, with Deportivo La Coruna, promoted Manumancia, Racing Santander, promoted Sporting Mahijón and this round opponent Real Betis.

In the standings, Sevilla, who also won this round, are in third place with 14 points, and they are behind Ibiza because of the disadvantage of goal difference:

Ibiza are the team with the most goals in six games in La Liga right now, with a whopping 26 goals!

That's a full eight goals more than Real Madrid and Barcelona, who are also tied for the second most goals with 18.

In this round of the league, Barcelona slaughtered Atletico Madrid 6-1 at home, and the Catalan giants also tied Real Madrid with this victory, but the goal difference surpassed Real Madrid and ranked fourth in the league.

Barcelona fans expressed their gratitude to Atletico Madrid for giving away points and goal difference at critical moments, and they are worthy of being Barcelona's old friends for many years.

Real Madrid are fifth in the league and Valencia are sixth in the league.

After six rounds of league matches, Ibiza finished second in the league and won praise from the media.

It's not just because of the ranking of this promoted team, but also because Ibiza not only won the game, but also won well, scored goals constantly, and look at what this promoted team has done:

8:3 Atletico Madrid, 7:2 Valencia, 3:0 Valladolid, 6:0 Huelva, won four games, all of which were won by big scores.

The Spanish media have written articles praising Ibiza, and even the newspaper "As", which does not have a good relationship with Fang Jue, is full of praise for him: Ibiza has excellent results, plays beautifully, is pleasing to the eye, readers are interested in this team, and at this stage, praise is politically correct.

They praised that it was a pleasure to watch Ibiza play now.

They say being an Ibiza fan is the happiest thing at the moment.

They praised the Ibiza players, they praised Lewandowski, they praised Mata, they praised Reuss, they praised Deisler, they praised Modric......

They praised Ibiza coach Fang Jue, praised him for building this amazing team, praised his tactics for being pleasing to the eye, and showed the world that he can win and play very beautifully.

The headline on the front page of The Sunday Telegraph was La Liga standings after this round of league play: Ibiza is second!

……

Fang Jue didn't pay attention to these overwhelming praises, he told himself: Shouldn't he be praised for doing so well? You are so good, you have to get used to this kind of life.

On this day, the draw for the group stage of the UEFA UEFA Europa League took place at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Fang Jue did not attend the draw ceremony, but was attended by Ibiza FC's vice-president Li Zihua and the club's sports director, Ms. Roberta.

Ibiza have been drawn in Group G against Ligue 1 side Saint-Etienne, Danish giants Copenhagen, Norwegian Premier League giants Rosenborg and Belgian First Division giants Club Brugge.

Objectively speaking, this is a good signing: Ibiza has avoided top giants such as AC Milan, as well as strong teams such as Tottenham Hotspur, Ajax, Feyenoord, Aston Villa, Stuttgart, Udinese, and also avoided going to a devil's away game like Turkey.

Speaking of Aston Villa, the news from Miss Papa is that Aston Villa's American owner, Randy. Lerner rejected any request to buy Aston Villa, and the American billionaire sincerely told the public and the media that he truly loves football and Aston Villa, and he will pass on Aston Villa as an inheritance with sincere feelings to his son and grandson.

Fang Jue asked if she was considering transferring the acquisition target, and Miss Papa shook her head and smiled and said, no.

"Wait two months." Miss Papa said firmly.

Fang Jue nodded in agreement, the news he got from Papa was that Randy. Lerner is applying for a loan repayment and is already going through the approval process, and in two months it will be Randy. Lerner's first loan repayment date, at the latest, the bank's approval results will be available.

Fang Jue knew that Miss Papa meant to wait for the bank's approval results, but he was a little strange, looking at Papa's expression, it seemed that he was sure that the Yankee's approval request would be rejected......

PS: The second update, the weak ask for a monthly pass.
