Jiang Chenxi met with his fiancée Su Xun in Monaco.

"I'm worried to death." Su Xun breathed a sigh of relief and said, Jiang Chenxi should have arrived an hour ago, and the delay of the private jet is even more worrying than the delay of the civil aviation flight.

"There's a delay." Jiang Chenxi said, and roughly told Su Xun about Balotelli's upcoming joining Liverpool.

Yes, the last hurdle for Balotelli to join Liverpool has also been removed, and the outcome of Klopp's talks with Balotelli and Raiola was optimistic, with Raiola assuring Klopp that he would strictly bind Balotelli, who in turn assured Klopp that he would follow the rules and not cause problems for the coach and the team.

No one can guarantee the effectiveness of such assurances.

However, Klopp wants the attitude of Raiola and Balotelli, which can be regarded as a 'dismount' for the Italian international: under his hands, be honest.

In fact, Klopp also knows that in the current tight time frame, being able to sign a player of Balotelli's quality is already a very good signing, at least from a theoretical point of view.

……

Klopp nodded, Balotelli's transfer to Liverpool will also be officially operated, in fact, Balotelli has long had a stiff relationship with AC Milan, from Manchester City to AC Milan for a season and a half, Balotelli's play in Milan can be said to be high and low, especially last season, Balotelli received a lot of criticism, Milan management is also very dissatisfied with his play, team chairman Berlusconi has criticized Balotelli "is a rotten apple", which makes Balotelli very unhappy.

Therefore, Milan is open to Balotelli's departure, and Jiang Chenxi even guessed that Milan is eager to send Balotelli away as soon as possible, as long as the price is right.

"I don't think it's a wise choice." Su Xun frowned slightly and said, "Balotelli's character, it is difficult for him to play honestly in a ball. ”

Su Xun spoke more politely, and her assistant Tang Xiaoya spoke very directly, 'Be careful that a mouse poop spoils a pot of porridge'.

"It's the club's decision." Jiang Chenxi shrugged, he remained neutral about this, in fact, when Klopp was talking with Balotelli and Raiola, Jiang Chenxi did not participate, he said hello to Balotelli and Raiola and avoided it.

Interestingly, the private plane arrived at a local French private airport near Monaco, Balotelli and Raiola left first, and when saying goodbye, Balotelli shook hands with Jiang Chenxi with a familiar face, hugged, and patted his chest and said that next time Liverpool will see you again, he will definitely give Jiang Chenxi a gold watch as a meeting gift: this time it was too rushed, there are dozens of unused gold watches at home, and he came in a hurry and forgot to take it.

Jiang Chenxi's expression at that time was a little painful: It's really a local tyrant and inhumane!

"What do you think of Balotelli?" Su Xun asked curiously, there are a lot of gossips and legends about Ba Shen, not to mention ordinary fans, even people in the football world are also very curious about this Italian player.

"It's not bad, it's not as bad as the legend says." Jiang Chenxi said with a smile.

……

The UEFA 2014 awards ceremony took place at the Grimaldi Convention Centre in Monaco and, in addition to the awards, the highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the 2014/2015 UEFA Champions League group draw.

Jiang Chenxi arrived at the Grimaldi Convention Center in a courtesy car arranged by the Monaco side.

The staff opened the car door, Jiang Chenxi and Su Xun got out of the car one after another, and the flashing lights on the scene were loud.

Jiang Chenxi gave a live interview to reporters, and the first question he answered was about the UEFA Ballon d'Or (UEFA Player of the Year), and at present, Jiang Chenxi and Cristiano Ronaldo and Neuer are shortlisted for the final three candidates.

'I've always tried to do better and it would be great to win the Ballon d'Or, but obviously it's not easy to win it, Ronaldo is one of the best players on the planet, Manuel Neuer is also a very good player, it's an honour to compete with such a great player...... If I can't get it, I'll keep trying! ”

When Su Xun was answering the reporter's question by her boyfriend, she raised her chin slightly and looked at Jiang Chenxi, her eyes full of pride and love.

After briefly answering the reporter's question, Jiang Chenxi and Su Xun walked into the venue.

"Jiang, here!" Klopp shouted.

Jurgen Klopp had already entered the pitch and shouted in the Liverpool FC seating area.

Jiang Chenxi waved to Basel and Dortmund respectively, said hello to his former teammates, made a gesture to contact him on the phone, and then walked to Liverpool's seating area.

……

The ceremony at the scene began.

The video that started was a brief recap of Borussia Dortmund's 2013/2014 UEFA Champions League title.

Borussia Dortmund captain Kehl then took to the stage as a guest and captain of the defending champions, who will soon be involved in the draw for the teams in Pot 1.

Ahead of the official draw, UEFA also produced a documentary dedicated to the memory of football superstars Eusebio and Di Stefano, who passed away not long ago.

After the documentary was shown, there was a minute of silence.

Jiang Chenxi noticed that manager Jurgen Klopp's expression was a little solemn, because Liverpool was likely to encounter the group of death.

Although Liverpool won the league runner-up last season, however, this is Liverpool's best league results in recent seasons, before that, they ranked outside the top six for four consecutive seasons, not to mention the Champions League, even the Europa League did not qualify, so, Liverpool's European points are very low, they are also dragged down by the low European points, this draw group was divided into the third pot, the same grade of teams, there are CSKA Moscow, Olympiacos, Bayer Leverkusen, Athletic Bilbao, etc., This also shows how unsatisfactory Liverpool has been in the past few years.

……

As a Pot 3 team, it is likely to be placed in a group with two Pot 1 and Pot 2 giants, which would mean that Liverpool will face a very severe test from the group stage, which is obviously not what Liverpool, who are returning to the Champions League after four years, are willing to encounter.

The teams in the first pot are drawn first, Bayern Group E, Real Madrid Group B, Benfica Group C, Arsenal Group D, Barcelona Group F, Porto Group H, Atletico Madrid Group A, Chelsea Group G.

The draw was carried out very quickly, and there was no ink, after the first band team was grouped, the group draw of the second bracket team was immediately carried out, and Hierro drew lots for the second bracket team.

The second pot of the team was quickly drawn and fixed, C: Benfica, Zenit; F: Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain; H: Shakhtar of Porto and Donetsk; D: Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund; E: Bayern Munich, Manchester City; B: Real Madrid, Basel; A: Atletico Madrid, Juventus; G: Chelsea, Schalke 04.

As soon as the draw results of the second-tier team came out, the camera gave a close-up of the venue, more precisely, the final camera locked on Jiang Chenxi and Klopp, the first and second gears have come out, in this case, a certain group has become the real most brutal group of death, it depends on the Liverpool that Jiang Chenxi plays for will be divided into that group, in fact, in the third tier of the team, there is such a strong Liverpool with Jiang Chenxi, which also makes many teams cry out that they can't afford to be injured, this is a landmine, No one wants to step on it, even the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona, and they don't want to meet Liverpool in the group stage, which means they need to work a little more in the group stage.

Now, Group F with Barcelona and Grand Paris, Group D with Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund, Group E with Bayern Munich and Manchester City, Group A with Atletico Madrid and Juventus, these four groups, whichever group Liverpool falls into, will produce a very tragic group of death.
