Chapter 165: Lottery Ceremony (Asking for Subscription, Asking for Reward)
In the end, Southampton scored a goal in the second half, and together with two goals in the first half, Southampton finally defeated Blackburn Rovers who were groggy for the whole game by a huge 3-0 victory at St Mary's Stadium, winning two consecutive Premier League games and continuing to stay in top of the Premier League. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Of course, the importance of this game is not in the victory and the standings, but in the game, in the game, Barcelona's team possession tactics showed a lot of strength and conquered the Saints fans in the St Mary's stadium very well. That's what David Winston wants to see and would love to see that kind of applause from the fans in every game.
This round of Premier League matches has come to an end. The Premier League's giants Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool have all won, which also makes the top few in the Premier League table still stalemate, and the top five are not more than three points apart, which means that when Southampton loses a game, it is likely to drop four places in the standings to fifth. Such an incomparably brutal and intense question has always made David Winston feel the pressure and of course feel the infinite motivation. The Premier League is so cruel, and David Winston is always nervous, formulating tactical ideas for every game, and making every game foolproof.
The game is over, but the season has just begun. The UEFA Cup is about to start, Southampton is about to face the fourth-line battle, David Winston suddenly felt how terrible the four-line battle is, even if there are many players in his team, but the four-line battle is still very tough, very difficult. So keeping the players fit is the most important thing.
David Winston and his team were disbanded at the Stockwood training base and went back to their respective homes, got a good night's sleep, and resumed training tomorrow. When they return home, it's rare to rest. A group of people set out in the light of the moon. The group was Southampton's executive chairman Lin Seshu and his party left Southampton and went to Zurich, Switzerland, to participate in the draw for the UEFA Cup.
Next. Evening. UEFA headquarters in Zurich. The draw for the UEFA Cup has ended. Southampton have been drawn in a relatively easy Group H, alongside Turkey's Besiktas, Peterborough and Ganmares, and most of all Spain's Sevilla, so let's take a look at the other groups.
The four teams in Group A are Bulgaria's CSKA Sofia, Hamburg in the Bundesliga, remembering that the former Bundesliga powerhouses in the past life are now deeply mired in relegation, and the other three teams are Vikings and Monaco and Slavia in Ligue 1.
The four teams in Group B are Lokomotiv Moscow, Espanyol in Spain, Espanyol has become a team controlled by Chinese capital in the previous life, Maccabi of Israel and Parlerman of Serie A, and Brondby of Norway.
The four teams in Group C are Romania's Steaua Bucharest, France's Lens and Hamstead, and the last two teams are Germany's Hertha Berlin, which has been relegated to the Bundesliga in the previous life, which is embarrassing, and Italy's Sampdoria.
The four teams in Group D are Switzerland's Grasshoppers, of course Middlesbrough on the same front as Southampton, Denipouro, AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands, and the last team is Litex.
The four teams in Group E are Basel from Switzerland, Strasbourg from France, Tromsø from Norway, and Red Star Belgrade from Serbia and Montenegro.
The four teams in Group F are Dinamo Bucharest and Heerenveen in the Eredivisie, and the Japanese star Keisuke Honda came out of this team in the previous life and gradually developed into the team of the Serie A giants AC Milan. The other team in this group is Russia's CSKA Moscow, the reigning champions of the UEFA Cup, who have also won the UEFA Cup for many years. There are also Marseille and Liefski in Ligue 1.
The four teams in Group G are France's Rennes, Germany's Stuttgart, Ukraine's Shakhtar Donetsk, and Romania's Rapid Bucharest and Thessaloniki.
After attending the boring draw ceremony, Lynser immediately sent all the group information of the UEFA Cup to manager David Winston. When David Winston saw this detailed group situation, he thought of an old saying from his homeland in his previous life. "It's not that enemies don't get together." David Winston was in a group with the champions of this year's tournament. And Sevilla FC have just brought in Frédéric Kanute in the summer transfer, and Frederick Kanute has played very well for Sevilla, and now he is second in the La Liga scorer list, which also puts Sevilla in third place in the La Liga standings. Fortunately, the other three teams in the same group are not too strong, and it should not be a big problem to qualify from the group, and the most important entrance examination is in the round of 32 after breaking through from the group stage, which includes the third-place teams in each group that fell from the Champions League, these teams are much stronger than any team in the UEFA Cup, so David Winston wants to achieve good results in the UEFA Cup or even the championship step by step, and he can't make a mistake.
With the conclusion of the UEFA Cup draw, it means that the UEFA Cup will really begin, and the two major European competitions, the European Champions Cup and the UEFA Cup, will be rekindled across Europe, chasing the title of this most sacred competition. David Winston wants to win the championship, but he still has to come step by step, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step, David Winston also knows that the level and combat effectiveness of the Southampton team in this UEFA Cup can only be regarded as the upper middle level. If you want to win the championship and take the head of the general among the thousands of troops, you have to practice martial arts yourself, without martial arts, how can you enter the blue sky of the champion.
David Winston looked at the roster and couldn't sleep at night, and he was about to start a new round to watch his opponent's game footage. (To be continued.) )
