"Hi, there. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】”

On the evening of August 28, when Dick appeared at a local hotel in Monaco, which was also the scene of the UEFA Champions Cup grouping ceremony and last season's best awards, he got out of the car just in time to meet Porto coach Jose, who had also just stepped out of the car. Jose Mourinho.

In the pre-match grapevine, last season's best coach in Europe, the strongest contenders were the two-title coach Dick, who led Dortmund to the league and Champions Cup double, while Mourinho led Porto to the treble of the Portuguese league, the Portuguese Cup and the UEFA Cup!

They are rivals for Europe's best coach last season and will be in the UEFA Super Cup race at the Stade Louis II a day later, Dick is undoubtedly the hottest young coach in Europe right now, and Jose Mourinho, who is in his early forties, is also one of the rising stars of a generation of coaches in European football.

Now, these two people met in this situation, and even Mourinho was stunned, although he had seen Dick when he was in Barcelona, but at this time......

Dick, however, seemed to be surprised, took the initiative to walk towards Mourinho, and then extended his hand to him.

Mourinho was slightly stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he shook Dick's hand: "Hello, Di." ”

The doors of the surrounding reporters lit up, and Dick grinned, holding Mourinho's hand in one hand and gesturing a "V" with the other to the reporters' cameras......

This action made Mourinho also a little crying and laughing, he was also a manager who likes to be in the limelight, but at this time, he felt that he should be calm, otherwise the style would coincide with Dick......

Although Dick was nothing when he became assistant coach at Barcelona, he is now a two-time Champions League winner, and he has only just achieved good results in Porto, and he still lacks some foundation.

"I didn't expect you to achieve this by now...... Mourinho said with some sighs.

"You're not bad either...... To be honest, it's a good choice to leave Barcelona, I watched a lot of the games last season, it doesn't fit the style of Barcelona, if you continue to stay at Barcelona, you will only be an assistant coach, not the current one. Dick let go of his hand and spoke.

Mourinho turned and walked with Dick towards the hotel, saying as he went, "That's right...... But why did you think about going to Barcelona as a youth manager? Your style doesn't quite suit Barcelona either. ”

"I was young and didn't think it through enough." Dick was ashamed to say: "And my style is varied, and in Barcelona I was able to play very well as well...... Didn't you see me with Atletico Madrid, playing the most fluid and flashy attack in all of Europe? ”

Jose Mourinho said again, are you sure you're not joking? Yes, Atletico sometimes play very flashy, but at some critical moments, you can get the result you want by relying on the bucket formation......

"It's going to be a contest tomorrow...... Jose, you have to pay attention, I am familiar with your team, but my team has already changed most of the main players. Dick continued.

Mourinho smiled slightly, unmoved by Dick's words: "But the strength of your team has dropped a lot, but my team is stronger than last season." ”

"Then let's take a look...... I'm very interested in the UEFA Super Cup...... Except for the vanished European Cup Winners' Cup, I have only the UEFA Super Cup that I have not won in the whole of Europe. Dick didn't move, and continued.

"Where's the Toyota Cup?" Mourinho asked quietly.

"That's a world race...... Dick replied with a smile.

Mourinho spoke again, and a mistake was caught by Dick, this guy is worthy of the head coach who is the most adept at relying on the opponent's little gap to stalk and expand the advantage, even the verbal confrontation, is also this style.

When the two walked into the hotel conference hall side by side, the eyes of the others in the hall fell on themFor the whole of European football, these two people are undoubtedly representatives of a generation of young coaches, compared to them, Benitez has not won the championship yet, Ancelotti also lacks a heavyweight title, and the honor they have achieved is enough to make most managers ashamed.

However, although these two people seemed to be very familiar with each other and had a good relationship with each other, after entering the hall, the two sides invariably walked in different directions, Dick walked to the left, and said hello to Ferguson and Heathfield who were sitting there, and then sat down between them, while Mourinho walked to the right side, did not greet anyone, but directly found a place where no one was around and sat down, and then took out a small notebook from his pocket, I don't know what I'm writing with my head down.

After all the coaches have arrived, the draw for the Champions Cup has now officially begun.

Borussia Dortmund, as the champion, is naturally the first tier team, and the others are determined by the number of points to determine the first tier team, and the Milan duo ranks the second tier team with a slight disadvantage, which means

It means that this season, there is a high probability that there will be a group of death.

It is a pity that Atletico Madrid did not make it to the Champions Cup this season After they were eliminated in the Champions Cup last season, there was chaos in the team, and a period of consecutive winless games made them fall from the top four, although they were desperately catching up, but they were still in the Champions Cup, and they were as unlucky as Barcelona and Valencia, and the four La Liga teams in this year's Champions Cup were in addition to Real Madrid and Deportivo La Coruna, and the other two teams were Real Sociedad and Celta!

This made Atletico Madrid earthquake again this season, Cruise, Capdevilla, Makelele and other players left Cruz to transfer to Inter Milan, Capdevilla transferred to Deportivo La Coruna, Makelele was poached by Chelsea at a high price, and now Atletico Madrid is very different from Atletico Madrid when Dick was there......

Dick can only sigh about this, Aragonés resigned after the end of the season, and Dick doesn't care who the head coach is, anyway, Atletico Madrid wants to return to its previous form now, I'm afraid it will be difficult for only a year.

The draw was well underway, with Borussia Dortmund being placed in the final group, which had already seen a trend of group death, with Arsenal and Inter Milan in one group, Lazio and Chelsea in the same group......

When Platini drew the second pot of the seventh group was Chelsea, the whole scene had already begun to be in an uproar, and now there is only one second pot group left that has not been drawn, and you don't need to draw to know who is in the same group as Dortmund, that is AC Milan!

The winner and runner-up of last season's Champions Cup are in the same group!

Dick smiled bitterly, he really wanted to scold a dirty word at this time*** UEFA, can you still have a little conscience? I praised you so much before, and you gave me such a group?

It's just that it's not over yet......

"The team in the third pot of Group H is Ajax!"

"The team in the fourth pot of Group H is Celta!"

Dick's whole person is going to be bad, and being in a group with AC Milan is actually so-called, if the other two opponents are weaker, there should be no problem with the group appearing, but ...... The current Ajax team is the last batch of the essence of the Ajax academy, although Zivo left, but Van der Vaart, Ibrahimovic and other top players are still in the team, definitely not an easy opponent to deal with, and Celta was able to beat Barcelona, Valencia and Atletico Madrid and other teams to enter the Champions Cup last season, and it will definitely not be a general, if it was last season, Dick would not be afraid, but with Dortmund's experience and strength this season, it is indeed very difficult to advance from this group, even if you are promoted, how much energy do you have to play in the league and knockout rounds?

But very, after Dick smiled bitterly twice, he returned to normal, in fact, Dick is also mentally prepared for this situation, he has won the Champions Cup for two consecutive years, last season was a change of club, did not break the record of no team defending the title since the Champions Cup was restructured, and this season, UEFA will not give him this opportunity again, there is no reason for UEFA's biggest cash cow to become Dick's stage alone......

Next up is last season's selection of the best in Europe.

Maybe it is to make up for Dick, after Lehmann won the best goalkeeper in Europe last season, Carlos was elected the best defender in Europe, Nedved won the best midfielder in Europe, Ruud van Nistelrooy won the best striker in Europe, Maldini won the European Champions Cup Lifetime Achievement Award, Mackay won the European Golden Boot Award, and Celtic won the Fair Play Award, Dick beat Mourinho and won the honor of the best coach in Europe You must know that there are legends before that Dick will share the honor of the best coach in Europe with Mourinho, It is estimated that UEFA considered that Dortmund was divided into such an outrageous group, for fear that Dick would go crazy if he could no longer enjoy the honor of the best coach in Europe, so Mourinho became a victim......

However, even so, they did not expect Dick to remain dissatisfied.

If you don't give me a face, I don't need to give you a face, this is Dick's usual style, since the previous overtures to UEFA actually got such a result, Dick feels that there is no need to wronged himself anymore.

"It's great to get this award, it's a testament to the recognition of my hard work last season. If I had changed my normal life, I might have been happy to celebrate, but at this time, I don't have the spirit to show how happy I am...... Because the season has already started and the war has begun, the first thing I have to think about at this time is how to work next in order to survive in such a group...... Although we may be the most outrageous defending champions in the group, no difficulty should be called a difficulty in front of Dortmund, because we are Dortmund! No difficulties will stop us and we will continue to try our best to fight for every title. I was able to get this award because of the great work of the Borussia Dortmund players last season, so I want to thank them and thank you all. ”

With a quick remark, Dick stepped off the stage, then shoved the crystal into his pocket in full view of everyone, and sat down with a butt.

"This guy really has a personality...... "All the head coaches have such a thought flashing through their minds.
