Interpretation:

At the beginning of the development of things, although the momentum is good, it is relatively weak, so we should be cautious and not move lightly. In the latent period, it is not yet able to play a role, we must be firm in our beliefs, forbearance and waiting, and not rash and reckless; The time has not come, like a dragon diving into the abyss, it should hide its edge and stand by.

68. Champions League Group of Death

Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Van Basten and Blind Sr. were walking towards the venue.

As the biggest names in Dutch football, the two of them also have a considerable place in the whole of European football, and along the way, many club representatives, current players, and major media will come together to congratulate them.

"Haha, Marco, you're here too?"

A white and innocent fat man patted Van Basten on the waist affectionately: "Congratulations on your successful promotion." ”

Van Basten smiled in response to the fat man's kindness: "Carlo, you seem to be a lot fatter again." ”

This is Chelsea's new boss Carlo Ancelotti, who spent his glory days with Louis van Basten at AC Milan and then led Milan to two Champions League trophies as head coach before moving to the Premier League giants this summer to help owner Roman Abramovich realise his long-held Champions League dream.

"Where am I fat?" Carlo Ancelotti looked at his soft belly, "In retaliation, I want Platini to draw Ajax and Chelsea in a group. ”

Van Basten's face darkened suddenly......

-

2009 has entered the early stage of the era of the Mero duo, but in the evaluation of various awards, there is still a faint shadow of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending. Barcelona won last season's Champions League, but not enough to reach the top of the table a few years later, and his rivals, especially the Premier League giants such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal, remain a huge threat to his position.

Before the draw, UEFA President Michel Platini presented several important awards from last season:

Maldini, the legendary captain of Milan, who has just retired, took home the UEFA President's Special Award.

The best goalkeeper was taken away by Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

The best defender went to Chelsea captain John Terry.

The best midfielder belongs to Xavi, the real brain of Barcelona.

The best striker and best player undoubtedly belong to Messi.

In fact, at this time, everyone thought that football might have entered the situation of Kaka, Ronaldo, and Messi competing for hegemony, and no one would really expect that in the next four years, this little Argentine flea, who is still a little shy and shy, will be able to wear the crown of "the first person in world football" firmly on his head.

To the applause of the audience, Platini especially encouraged Messi, and the French's love for the little flea was also overflowing.

After that, it entered the ceremony of the draw for the group stage.

The 32 teams are divided into four grades according to the results of the past five years, and the four giants of the Premier League who have been particularly strong in European competition in recent years are all listed as seeded teams, while other leagues, such as Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Juventus, can only be relegated to the second pot, and Ajax, who has missed the Champions League for three years, can be ranked in the third bracket is already a fluke.

Sure enough, before half of the draw was drawn, multiple death groups had already been born.

Bayern Munich and Juventus collided directly.

AC Milan and Real Madrid meet in a narrow way, and Kaka, who has just switched from Milan to Real Madrid, will immediately face his old club.

Barcelona and Inter Milan met unexpectedly, and the new and old hatred of Mourinho and Pep Guardiola, old classmates and old enemies, aroused strong attention from the media and fans, and this group is undoubtedly the most interesting group.

Carlo Ancelotti joked that he wanted to teach Van Basten how to behave, but his Chelsea did not meet Ajax, and the Blues were in a group with Portuguese giants Porto, La Liga third-third Atletico Madrid and Cypriot giants Atletico Greece.

As for Van Basten, his face hasn't looked good since the draw began.

When the final results came out, he was speechless.

The Premier League's No. 1 European giant, five-time Champions League trophy winner, last season's league runner-up, Reds Liverpool!

Ligue 1 giants, Geraand Lions, who have completed seven consecutive championships in the league, and Lyon!

and the Hungarian team Debrezen......

For Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez, he certainly doesn't think this group will have any difficulty in the team's promotion, and the club manager GLP, who attended the ceremony with him, even made no secret of his smile in front of the camera, and bluntly said publicly: "We are very happy with the result of such a group, this is a signing!" We're just waiting for the game to start! ”

But for Van Basten, it's a true death group!

But this time, even if Ajax can't make it out of the group, he won't be as agitated and embarrassed as before.

After all, the strength of Liverpool and Lyon is obviously above Ajax, and they have brought the team into the Champions League, which is equivalent to earning more than 20 million euros for the club, which greatly relieves the club's financial pressure, and the task has been completed.

Yes, even the proud White Swan was already prepared for defeat in advance after the results of the group draw.

His goal is already to finish third in the group.

-

When he learned the results of the draw, Long Shute's mood was also very complicated.

His first contact with a European club was, of course, Everton, where he underwent a three-month introductory training, but it was the 'Toffee's' local rivals, Liverpool, that really impressed him.

The Merseyside derby gave him his first real taste of the excitement of a football game, and the atmosphere at Anfield Stadium is still fresh in his memory, as long as he closes his eyes slightly and recalls the scene of the day, the song "You will never walk alone" seems to linger in his ears.

In 2005, Liverpool were the hottest team in Europe, and the team, players, and stadium seemed to be shrouded in a miracle light, and they created a miracle in the history of football in the Champions League final, so that the whole world heard that they were not willing to sink.

Their manager, Rafael Benitez, was undoubtedly lucky, reaching the pinnacle of his career in his first season in charge of the team, picking up trophies that countless managers have coveted. But after that, his luck seemed to be lost after that game, and no matter how much he tried to buy reinforcements and adjust his tactics, Liverpool never won any more trophies except for a lackluster FA Cup title.

The Liverpool side are clearly in a recession, and even though they only finished runners-up last season, it was more like a flashback before the total decline.

Lyon may be even more feared than Liverpool, with Benzema switching to Real Madrid after a seven-game winning streak, but that doesn't mean the team lacks ambition, and they have spent more than €72 million on reinforcements in the summer, making them one of the top five cash-burning professionals in Europe, and this style of work is destined to not be satisfied with a mere six-day tour of the group stage.

As for the other team, Hungarian league champion Debrezen...... Anyway, I didn't find any information in Google.

So he turned on the console to find out about the club's glorious history.

The line on the screen that says "System Update" is finally gone, replaced by "The system is installing updates, please don't power it off".

Looking at the slowly changing percentage numbers on the screen, he suddenly felt that it was better not to have too much hope for the weakest system in history......
