"Possibly by the British and Vietnamese? If I hadn't won the UEFA Cup last season, Serie A would have been overcome. 【Latest chapter reading. Dick said to Charlotte with a smile, Charlotte thought strangely, and then asked, "Does the League Cup have anything to do with this?" ”

"Of course, the Europa League standings are calculated based on the number of points scored by teams in each league in European competitions, and there are quite a few points in the UEFA Cup...... In fact, the performance of Serie A teams in the Champions Cup has not been bad, and the top three in the north can basically enter the knockout round as long as they participate in the Champions Cup, plus teams like Roma Lazio have been performing well in the Champions Cup, and the Serie A team is no worse than any league in grabbing points in the Champions Cup...... It's just that the teams that play the League Cup are not very competitive, basically giving up and giving up, and there is no momentum at all that was swept in the League Cup in the 90s...... You must know that in the 90s, Serie A teams only won a third of the Champions Cup, but they were far ahead of any league in terms of points, because of the excellent results of the League Cup and the Cup Winners! However, this is also related to the current situation of Serie A, the top three in the north have taken too much broadcast fees, and the income of other teams is far inferior to these three teams, and playing the Champions Cup can be said to be a step forward to get a lot of money, in the League Cup, which does not have much bonus, they do not have much motivation to play, rather than consuming physical strength in the League Cup, it is better to save physical strength and play better in the league...... In the final analysis, it is the Serie A league that has gone wrong. ”

Charlotte nodded as if she didn't understand, but she seemed to be more concerned about another question: "Where are you going to go for Christmas?" ”

"I don't have any relatives left, this Christmas, I want to visit your family, I wonder if I have the privilege of having Christmas dinner with the royal family of Monaco?" Dick smiled and said to Charlotte.

Charlotte was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing - Christmas is a holiday for the whole family, does Dick say this, does it mean that he also wants to be part of the royal family of Monaco?

"Let me think about it...... I guess it's okay......" Charlotte said to Dick with a finger on her jaw.

Dick laughed, "And what should I bring with me?" What should I give? Heck, you know, according to our Chinese custom, the first time you go to your house, you have to bring a greeting gift...... It seems that I have to make some purchases during this time, although you don't lack anything at home, but this is also a part of my heart, isn't it? ”

Charlotte pursed her lips and looked at Dick as she looked very busy, and her heart was full of sweet feelings.

This is something she has not felt in the past ten years, although Dick is seven or eight years older than her in terms of age, and it is not a big age gap, but she can feel it, Dick seems to be much more mature than her, and is also much more tolerant, for Dick's previous behavior, she does not mind - for European royal families, princesses marry ordinary people or even divorced people, as long as it is other things born before marriage, it is nothing to her.

And after this period of getting along, Charlotte knew that she had indeed fallen in love with Dick, at least, he was a pretty good object, famous throughout Europe, and he was very good, the most important thing is that from the beginning, she and Dick were in a completely equal relationship, including after Dick knew her identity, she did not change her attitude, which made Charlotte feel very at ease.

Because of his own mother Chapter 55 After that, Dick flew to Lausanne, Switzerland, to participate in the knockout draw for this season's Champions Cup.

"After the draw ceremony, you'll know why I know this." As he left Monaco, Dick said to Prince Albert with a smile.

For European football after Christmas, in addition to the major clubs beginning to gradually gather, the most interesting thing is the Champions Cup knockout draw ceremony - the Champions Cup round of 16 is basically a collection of the entire European elite, except for Manchester United surprisingly at the bottom of a not difficult group stage, even the League Cup did not have the opportunity to participate, other strong teams have entered the knockout round, England's Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Italy's northern three, Spain's Real Madrid, Barcelona Villarreal, Bayern Munich and Bremen in the Bundesliga, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie, plus Lyon in Ligue 1, Benfica in Portugal and Rangers in Scotland, this is the round of 16 of this season's Champions Cup.

Inter Milan qualified as the first in the group, but there are also countless strong teams in the second place this time, Bayern, Ajax, Real Madrid, Chelsea...... Of course, Chelsea and Inter Milan are in the same group and they can't play against Inter Milan, but it is not in vain that Inter Milan will compete for the top spot in the group, because there are more strong teams in the group.

By the time Dick entered the draw ceremony, the rest of the managers had basically arrived – most of them were old acquaintances of Dick, and the only regret was that Ferguson was not able to show up......

Dick casually found a place to sit down, and it wasn't until he was seated that someone next to him was looking at him, and when he looked closely, it was Mourinho......

Dick couldn't help but laugh a little embarrassed, he really didn't pay attention, he didn't mean to sit next to Mourinho to stimulate him......

"Hello, Mr. Dick." Mourinho said it calmly.

"Hello, Mr. Mourinho." Dick also nodded, after qualifying from the group, the two teams will not meet in the knockout round, which is probably the reason why Mourinho will be calm, right? However, Dick still looked around and looked for a way to escape, because he was so sure before, because he knew that Chelsea met Barcelona in the first round of the knockout round this season, and then was eliminated by Barcelona who eventually won the championship......

Although he seems to be taller than Mourinho, Mourinho is also an athlete and is stronger than his otaku......

But what Dick didn't expect was that it was himself who wanted to strangle the other party first.

When Platini pulled out a matchup, Dick was a little silly.

"Inter Milan vs Real Madrid."

As the first team in the group, Inter Milan actually encountered a weak team to a large extent, but what Dick didn't expect was that Inter Milan, which has always been very good in the history of the draw, changed its own coach, and constantly encountered strong teams!

Meet Chelsea in the group stage, and meet Real Madrid in the first round of the knockout round!

Dick stared at Platini as if to see a hole in his face.

"What bad luck you have, Mr. Dick...... Although the first place can have some advantages, if you are unlucky, you will also encounter a weak team. Mourinho's gloating laughter was heard from the side.

"What's so funny, maybe you'll run into Barcelona right away." Dick snorted.

"Maybe we'll run into Villarreal." Mourinho shrugged his shoulders.

Dick was not depressed now, he began to look at Mourinho happily, and the Portuguese looked a little hairy.

Just as Mourinho was about to ask Dick why he saw himself the way he did, he quickly understood......

"Barcelona vs Chelsea." Platini said with a blank face.

There was an uproar at the scene, Inter Milan vs. Real Madrid, Chelsea vs. Barcelona...... There are two major events in the quarterfinals, and this kind of championship cup is really exciting!

But for those in the whirlpool, this is not only exciting, the new Real Madrid manager Carlo looks at Dick and smiles bitterly, while Rijkaard and Mourinho are in eye contact...... There will be a lot of scenes to watch in this knockout round!
