Chapter 484: The Group of Death (Part 3)
Chapter 484: The Group of Death
The Champions League draw ceremony was also the best award ceremony for last season's Champions League.
This has nothing to do with Gao Bo, as he did not appear in the Champions League last season.
In the end, Barcelona won the championship and were the biggest winners.
Although Barcelona failed to win the title in the domestic league, Pep Guardiola's team is still quite strong in the Champions League.
They met Manchester United in the final!
As a result, Wembley, Manchester United was defeated by Barcelona 3-1, and Sir Alex Ferguson's trembling hands became the most classic picture of this Champions League.
When Villa scored Barcelona's third goal and Manchester United were 3-1 down and there was no hope of equalising, Ferguson on the sidelines leaned on the bench with one hand on his seat. He tried desperately to chew gum to relieve stress, but his hands were shaking under Ferguson's calm expression.
What is the 69-year-old old Sir thinking at this time? He stared at what was happening on the pitch with his eyes, but he was a little powerless. He knew his team needed to change now, but there was no final solution. At this moment, Ferguson only had an irrepressible excitement in his heart, which could be said to be anger, chagrin, or unwillingness. This agitation eventually turned into Ferguson's old, trembling hands.
Losing to Barcelona in the Champions League final for the second time in three years, to Pep Guardiola, who is 30 years his junior, must have been a disappointment for Ferguson.
Manchester United's manager was also on hand.
Gao Bo played against Manchester United a few times when he was in England, so Gao Bo took the initiative to say hello after meeting Ferguson.
Ferguson was quite enthusiastic about Gao Bo.
"Congratulations on what you've achieved in La Liga."
Ferguson said with a smile in front of Gao Bo.
"Thank you, Mr. Ferguson."
Gao Bo is neither humble nor arrogant.
And in the award ceremony, Barcelona was the biggest winner.
They were last season's Champions League team of the year, with Lionel Messi winning the best player and being the top scorer of the season with 12 goals, while Pep Guardiola was last season's best coach in the Champions League.
In the best team, Barcelona also accounted for the majority of the players.
An award ceremony, Barcelona can be said to be out of the limelight.
Gao Bo watched them accept the award on the stage with a smile on his face.
Barcelona.... It is truly one of the strongest teams in modern football.
It's fun to beat an opponent like that...
He looked at Pep Guardiola, who was making his own announcement of his award on the podium.
This guy already has two Champions League trophies left.
Gao Bo couldn't help but look to the other side, and Real Madrid's head coach Jose Mourinho also came.
This guy also has two Champions Leagues.
And ........ yourself Not a single one!
......
After the award ceremony, it was time for the draw ceremony.
Atletico Madrid have been placed in Group A!
When the results of this draw came out, Jill Marin's face became gloomy, which made Gao Bo, who was smiling and applauding on the sidelines, have to gently remind: "Pay attention to the image, Jill!!" ”
Jill Marin had no choice but to squeeze out a smile and applaud along with Gao Bo.
From Gil's expression, you can know that Atletico Madrid is definitely not in a good group to play.
They are in a group with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Manchester City in the Premier League, and Napoli in Serie A!!
Needless to say, Bayern Munich is the hegemon of the Bundesliga, although Bayern Munich last season can only be ranked third after Barcelona and Bayer Leverkusen, but in the Champions League, no one has ever dared to underestimate Bayern Munich's team!
In the middle of last season's league season, Louis van Gaal, who had a sluggish season, left midway through the season, and then the team's meritorious coach took charge of Bayern for the third time. Although Bayern Munich's results improved a lot after Heynckes took over, because Van Gaal dug too big a hole, Bayern Munich could only finish third in the league in the end.
Regardless, Bayern Munich is an opponent that no team can ignore.
The other opponent is Manchester City in the Premier League!
This is a new local giant, and this summer transfer window, Mancini's team spent nearly 150 million pounds to bring in a large number of players.
Since Manchester City's hope to bring in Sergio Aguero did not go as planned, they turned to Bayern Munich's Gomez!
In the end, Manchester City's sincerity impressed Bayern, and Manchester City bought German striker Gomez at a sky-high price of 40 million pounds! Mancini's team has four strikers: Dzeko, Gomez, Tevez and Balotelli!
In terms of midfield, Manchester City's midfield configuration is also quite luxurious, and an important addition to Manchester City's midfield this season is the French star Nasri bought from Arsenal! Through the power of money, Manchester City has assembled a luxurious enough team in just two seasons!
In the face of such an opponent, I am afraid that Atletico Madrid will have to be careful.
Serie A Napoli, a team from the south of the Apennine Peninsula, is undoubtedly strong, Napoli finished third in the league last season and returned to the Champions League after many years, which greatly stimulated the desire of its owner De Laurentiis to bring in reinforcements. In addition to buying out Cavani, he has continuously eaten good quality players such as Inle, Britos, De Zemmali, Rosati, Donadale, etc., with a total investment of 61 million, second only to Juventus and Roma, ranking third in Serie A. At the same time, the midfield trident of Hamsik, Lavezzi and Cavani all stayed in the team, and the overall strength of the Serie A Blues has improved, and the addition of Pandev has made its attacking firepower even more terrifying.
The opponents of these three groups can be said to be difficult to deal with, and none of them are so-called fish belly!
After the results of this draw came out, everyone was shocked by the grouping of Group A, and at the lottery ceremony, some people even exclaimed!
It's the Death Group!!
This is the group of death in the absolute sense of the word, and it is also a group of super death!
.....
After the draw ceremony, every coach who came to the scene was surrounded by a lot of media.
Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho are undoubtedly the darlings of reporters on the spot, and compared to them, Gao Bo has far fewer reporters in front of him.
After all, compared to Pep Guardiola and Mourinho, although Gao Bo won the La Liga championship, he was only influential in Spain, and in the Champions League, the fame of the new Ding Gao Bo of the Champions Cup was completely inferior to those coaches who had already made a name for themselves in this arena.
Gao Bo is not surprised, and he doesn't care about the attitude of the reporters.
On the football field, results are the last word.
When you get enough dazzling results, it's hard for others not to look at you. The loser needs others to defend himself, and the winner will always only need to enjoy the pursuit of others.
"We've got an interesting group, and whatever happens to this group is possible!"
Gao Bo was mainly in front of the Spanish media, and in front of the media's cameras and microphones, Gao Bo looked relaxed.
'We're going to give it our all and try to get a good group standing.'
'I have confidence in my team and in this interesting group we will give it our all and the opponents may be strong but it is not a problem for us.
"Qualifying? Qualifying is just the minimum goal for us! ”
With his head held high, he left the hall of the draw ceremony along with the frowning club manager Jill Marin.
