The Champions League group stage is over.

Sixteen of the 32 teams were eliminated, eight of the eliminated teams qualified for the UEFA Cup, and the remaining eight were eliminated altogether, with the second half of the fixture unrelated to European competition.

It must be very depressing to be eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League, but most of the eliminated teams are mentally prepared, because they are not strong teams in the first place, and it is very normal to be eliminated.

There is one team that is very special, that is, last season's Serie A champions, the focus of the summer.

Inter!

Inter Milan is a giant in Italy, but in the past ten years, it has been suppressed by AC Milan and Juventus for a long time, not only can not win the championship in the domestic league, but also rarely play in the European arena.

The last two years have been different.

The rise of Inter Milan can be seen by all, they have won Serie A in a row, but if they want to prove their rise, it is not enough to win the title at home, they must also do well in Europe, preferably to win a Champions League trophy.

Inter Milan president Moratti pinned his hopes on Mourinho, Mourinho is a very famous championship coach, led Porto to win the Champions League, coached Chelsea for three seasons and was also very successful, dominated the Premier League for two consecutive seasons, and also led Chelsea to rise to the 'Premier League semi-final' team, not winning the Champions League is just bad luck.

Many people have said this summer that Mourinho could beat Manchester United to win the Champions League if he stays at Chelsea.

Unfortunately, he left.

But in any case, Mourinho's coaching ability has been recognized by the whole world.

Moratti chose to trust Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho signed a big contract and was also motivated to take over the coaching of Inter Milan, hoping to lead the team to good results in Europe.

Outcome......

The group was eliminated!

At the moment when he was sure to be eliminated, Mourinho's expression was very serious, but he felt very miserable in his heart, and he didn't know how to face Moratti who trusted him.

Yes.

He was grateful to Moratti.

Moratti is a charismatic chairman who believes unconditionally when he chooses to trust someone, and Mourinho has experienced Chelsea's distrust and naturally wants the club to trust him.

Now he finds himself shameless in front of Moratti and in front of Inter fans.

Did Inter Milan play badly?

No!

Jose Mourinho is sure to say no because he thinks the team has got all the points they deserve.

In Group C, Barcelona are the strongest.

Jose Mourinho has a lot of experience playing against Barcelona and he knows how strong Barcelona are, and it is no surprise that he has just taken over Inter Milan with one draw and one defeat.

But because of this result, Inter Milan was eliminated from the group.

Because......

Newcastle United!

"Group C is indeed the Group of Death!" This is for Inter Milan, Newcastle United played too well, or rather, their No. 13 Zhen Shaolong performed too well, the average number of goals in the Champions League reached three, and Barcelona and Inter Milan away from home scored four goals individually.

Any team that has players who play so well against an opponent has no hope of winning the game at all.

"Inter are doing well enough!" Mourinho let out a long sigh, but unfortunately the media and fans only watched the results.

Football is the sport of the winners, and the process sounds important, but in fact it doesn't matter at all.

Jose Mourinho knows this better than anyone else, so he did not hesitate to play defensive football, but in the end he finished third in the group and had to accept relegation to play in the UEFA Cup.

It can't be helped.

The Italian media also seems to be very ironic, because Inter Milan won the league title in a row, but in the European arena can not even qualify from the group, the other three Italian teams, Florence, like Inter Milan, are the third place in the group, Juventus and Roma are the first in the group to advance to the Champions League round of 16.

That's kind of ironic.

The Italian media's level of Inter Milan can be imagined.

On the plane back to Milan, Mourinho sat alone in the front seat, thinking carefully about the problem of elimination, he felt that the reason was also Zhen Shaolong, Zhen Shaolong's performance was too good, leading the 'not very strong' Newcastle United, to play five consecutive wins in the group.

Mourinho felt that he should suggest Moratti to bring Zhen Shaolong to Inter Milan immediately, "Hurry up and buy it!" ”

"I have to buy it!"

Mourinho didn't think that way before.

When he first signed last summer, Moratti also asked him if he wanted to compete for Zhen Shaolong, and he replied arrogantly, "No, my team is not short of stars!" ”

"It's like the kind of person who pays attention to individual performance and doesn't care about teamwork, and I won't let him play when he comes."

This was a relief for Moratti.

As an Italian oil tycoon, 'there are mines at home' is a modest statement, there are several large oil fields in the Middle East, all of which belong to the Moratti family, but the family is a family, and investing in Inter Milan is based on his personal assets, Zhen Shaolong's worth is too high, and the investment in buying such a star is too big.

Right now......

Mourinho found Zhen Shaolong important.

It doesn't matter if there is a star in the team, the important thing is that the opponent lineup must not have it.

Otherwise it's terrible!

————

The perspective shifts back to Newcastle United.

After playing the final round of the group stage of the Champions League, Keegan waved his hand to give all the players a holiday, and he will take the assistant coach to Nyon, Switzerland, to participate in the draw ceremony for the knockout round of 16 of the Champions League.

The holidays are good news.

The continuous training and competitions have made everyone feel very tired, not only physically exhausted, but also mentally exhausted, and they have been living the same life every day for nearly three weeks.

Training is the main thing.

The race wasn't easy at all.

After finally having a holiday, many of the players' plans are to recuperate at home.

Right.

Rest!

Everyone knows what's coming up next, and the fact that the schedule is almost behind means that a new one is about to begin, with the rest of the national leagues after Christmas and the Premier League continuing to play a little more intense.

They had to take time to rest.

Zhen Shaolong's plan is the same, it has been too tiring for a while, he is ready to recuperate, and it is a pity that there is no professional masseur at home, "It would be nice if Rena was here." ”

He's missing Rena a little bit.

Rena is a very professional fitness coach, not only good at all kinds of fitness sports, but also very good at yoga exercises, massage techniques are also quite old, relieve fatigue, let the body relax the massage, is definitely a kind of enjoyment.

Of course.

Zhen Shaolong didn't have any other ideas, he completely hoped that Rena would help relieve his fatigue.

"Why don't you call Rena and invite her to join my assistant team?" Zhen Shaolong moved his brain.

His team of assistants has indeed expanded a lot.

Now he only has his agent Alice, the first assistant and nanny Claudio, and two bodyguards, Huzi and Eva, who are also unable to continue working in the short term due to pregnancy problems.

The number of people is a little too small.

For example, some stars in the entertainment industry have a special studio and a huge team of assistants to work, and he also needs a similar team of assistants to run commercial and promotional content.

Alice is forming.

Song Xiaowei is a member who is scheduled to join, but she still needs to study for two years.

Alice also invited her father, Rawls.

Rawls also plans to give up his future scouting job and come to Zhen Shaolong to do odd jobs, he is still quite professional in the field of football, and his contacts are also quite broad, and the professional work in football must be completely competent, Zhen Shaolong just thinks that Rawls and Alice are really a father-daughter relationship with genetics.

A father introduces his daughter to a job.

Now the daughter introduces her father to work.

All right......

Zhen Shaolong felt that Rena should be invited, and she could work with Claudio as his home assistant, whose job was to guide yoga, fitness, and assisted massage.

"Yes!"

"That's it!"

"I don't know if Rena will agree......" Zhen Shaolong thought, "she should think about it, right?" ”

Subsequently.

The phone rang.

Zhen Shaolong received two calls in a row, one from the club's president, Michael Asley, and the other from Erin, whose surname was Eclestone, and the two were talking about one thing, both inviting him to play golf.

Erin emphasized, "Tomorrow my father will be there, and there will be others, but I'm sure you're the best." ”

Zhen Shaolong didn't want to go.

Ecclestone!

What a terrible old fellow!

The old guy knew what he was doing with Erin, of course, only the simplest version, and it felt so weird that he didn't quite agree with his relationship with Erin and went to meet Eclestone.

Ashley also talked about Ecclestone, but said with direct encouragement, "Don't worry! The old guy's idea is to make a comparison between young people, and I believe you are the best! ”

"Who can refuse Zhen Shaolong, who just got Mr. Football, as his son-in-law? No! Definitely not! ”

“……”

"If you knew your daughter Flora...... Ahem, that's not the case. Of course Zhen Shaolong didn't say it.

Eventually, he agreed.

Mr. Chairman's invitation was not good, and Irene and Flora would go to it, and it seemed to be a very interesting party, and if he refused directly, it felt as if he was afraid to go.

That's shameless!

Zhen Shaolong is definitely a face-saving person, so he went to Flora's house the next morning, and then drove to the golf club nearly 50 kilometers away with Ashley and Flora's father and daughter.

Some are already waiting there.

On this day, the golf course was chartered, and it was Ashley, Ecclestone, Brower and a few other pure British businessmen who made an appointment to play golf together.

There are four young people.

Flora, Erin, Bell Ashcroft, and the remaining one is, of course, Zhen Shaolong.

Bell and Zhen Shaolong are about the same age, the young man seems to be spiritual, and he is very enthusiastic when he sees Zhen Shaolong, but Zhen Shaolong knows that the other party is the 'opponent' that Ashley said.

Rival?

So to speak.

Bell's surname is Ashcroft, and the Ashcroft family runs the electronics and software industries, and it is a high-sounding intelligence and cryptographic company, which can be considered quite remarkable.

In British high society, Bell is also quite famous, and can be said to be the dream lover of aristocratic ladies.

He has a handsome face.

Kind character.

In addition, Bell is a top student at Cambridge University and a well-known golfer, golf is just a hobby, but he has even played in professional leagues, which sounds very lofty.

Zhen Shaolong and Bell exchanged a few words, but he didn't feel anything, mainly because he felt that the other party's appearance was not as good as his own, in addition, Bell was indeed very kind and could bring a lot of good impressions.

Is this called gentlemanly demeanor?

Then he saw Bell sweeping the side of the 'old man', pulling Zhen Shaolong and whispering, "I know you and Irene, but that has nothing to do with me, I just can't help it today, yes, I was forced." ”

"I have girlfriends, and there are many, and I don't want them to be sad......"

"I don't want to find a regular girlfriend either, I'm only twenty-three years old, and it's too early to get married!"

"So...... You know! ”

Zhen Shaolong still didn't understand much, and felt that high society was too complicated, but he heard a key sentence, "You say...... Do you have many girlfriends? ”

"yes?"

"How did you do that? Wouldn't they be jealous of each other? Or something else? Zhen Shaolong was shocked.

Bell smugly recounted his experience.
