"Chelsea, Parma, CSKA Moscow, Shakhtar Donetsk."

As soon as the group came out, Lopetegui, who was next to Li Bin, was already close to pale: this grouping is really bad.

However, as a Pot 2 team, what could be better?

This year is different from last year, last year, among the eight first-tier teams, there is still a weak Valencia, which also gives the team that drew lots a hope. But this year's eight first-tier teams are stronger than last year. Chelsea's outstanding results in the Champions League year after year have made them successfully among the first teams, which makes it impossible to draw anyone in the first gear, and it is difficult to fight against anyone, and now the first gear is the top four of the Premier League, plus the two giants of La Liga and the two giants of Milan, such a strong eight teams, two of which are Serie A, and the remaining six teams, which one was drawn by Parma, is not considered the group of death?

Parma's own strength is already very strong, in the second pot of the team, that is, Lyon and Porto can be slightly compared with them, the other teams, much worse than their strength, two teams with the ability to play the Champions League semi-finals will definitely be in a group, and the group drawn with them is destined to be the group of death.

It's just that even if it's a death group, there must always be a strong and weak one. If you draw the Celtics in the third pot and Rosenberg in the fourth gear, then Parma doesn't have to worry too much, but no matter how hard you don't play, you can still lose to them? However, the team that won the draw is CSKA Moscow, and Shakhtar Donetsk, that's another matter, these two teams, but the two most difficult bones, CSKA is far away in Russia, just the distance problem, you have to let Parma lose a layer of skin, over the years, who has met and played with the Russian team, don't you have to scold your mother? And Donetsk should also be the strongest of the four teams, Ukraine is a traditional Eastern European football power, and the owner of Shakhtar Donetsk is still the richest man in Ukraine, just to build the team, it took 320 million, a large number of Brazilian players poured in, making their strength strong enough, such a lineup is definitely the strongest in the group of death.

When Lopetegui saw this grouping, of course, his face immediately changed wildly: no matter what, when he saw that his team was facing the strongest in all grades, he would not be particularly happy.

Originally, Lopetegui was counting on Parma to be able to grab more points for the team in the first half of the season, but now it seems that it is very difficult, which of these teams does not need to prepare seriously? Li Bin said again that he was going to play the Champions League seriously, so did the league really end before it started?

"We're going to make it, right?" Even, Lopetegui is a little worried about qualifying. Turning his head, he asked Li Bin in a low voice.

"Have a little confidence in me, okay?" Li Bin said helplessly.

He didn't expect it to be such a group. He reckons that this is not for himself, but for Chelsea: Mourinho has always been a big mouth. Maybe this time, UEFA wants to deal with him, so it is arranged in this way, so that the strong teams in each gear will all go to gather with Chelsea. However, it's not bad to do that: what's wrong with getting into the Champions League early?

"However, the opponent is really strong......"

"Then let's watch, if the group doesn't qualify, can't I resign early?"

This draw was also unexpected, but it also made him very satisfied: this season, he was ready to make a difference in the Champions League, but now the Champions League is difficult, and he doesn't have too much fear, anyway, he has to fight, what's wrong with fighting hard?

It is precisely because of this mind that when the draw was over, he walked to the interview area and faced the reporter's interview, Li Bin did not keep a low profile, "I don't think Parma will have a problem qualifying, and the only problem now is whether Parma will qualify as the first or second." Chelsea are a strong team and it will not be easy for us to qualify as top of the group as they are in the same group, but we will work hard in that direction. ”

After saying this, Li Bin didn't say anything more, turned around and wanted to leave. But at this time, there was an uproar in the direction behind him. Li Bin turned his head and saw Mourinho not far away, and a piece of media was recording something. Obviously, Mourinho also expressed Chelsea's confidence in front of the media, and, Li Bin estimates, his words will definitely be beautiful.

Before the game was played, the trouble came.

There's no doubt that Chelsea are a powerhouse in the Champions League. Li Bin also knows very well that although he is now known as a famous young coach, he did not win the Champions League for a day, and in the eyes of the media, he is much worse than Mourinho over there - whether there is the Champions League or not, this is one of the hard indicators of whether a coach is successful, that is, Wenger, who played the most gorgeous and strongest team in the Premier League, has been questioned, let alone himself? In the game against Chelsea, he will definitely be one of the underdogs, especially Mourinho's mouth, it is strange that he can let himself have the upper hand.

But, it's okay, let's talk about the game, you can still blow to the media now, and in the next few days, maybe the two of us will be the first to be unlucky.

In my memory, Mourinho was left in the Champions League group stage after failing to win against Copenhagen, and now, they have not met Copenhagen, but they have met several teams, which are stronger than Copenhagen. This group may be the graveyard of Mourinho's dismissal, and the victory of his own team must be the biggest reason for his dismissal - is this the reason why UEFA arranged for him to be in a group?

I haven't been targeted, but has it become one of the weapons used by UEFA?

Speaking of which, is it necessary for me to add fuel to his fire? If he helped himself, he would have been able to get out of class faster, right?

When Li Bin was thinking nonsense, another coach beside him had already walked over, "Li, long time no see." ”

"Mr. Ferguson, long time no see." Li Bin was also a little surprised when he saw Ferguson beside him.

"I saw the results of your draw and I'm glad we weren't in the same group. The current Parma is really strong enough......" Ferguson greeted a few words and pulled Li Bin out of the venue.

And after leaving the venue, he also made his intention clear. Of course, he didn't come to chat, he came to ask Li Bin about something.

"I heard you wanted to coach in the Premier League, didn't you?" Ferguson asked, without much politeness.

"yes, what's wrong?" Li Bin didn't hide it much, he knew that Ferguson would not be bored enough to take out this kind of talk and talk nonsense.

"On behalf of Manchester United, I welcome you. I believe that together we can build the Premier League very well. ”

Is this a gesture of goodwill from Manchester United? Li Bin said something in his heart, but he still expressed his gratitude for Ferguson's words.

He didn't know what Ferguson was courting him for, but he knew how important Ferguson's overtures were. In the Premier League, Manchester Link's status is very high, even if those private rumors are not true, at least, as one of the oldest and oldest coaches in the Premier League, many things in the Premier League are openly consulted for his opinion, and it is not wrong to have a good relationship with him.

"If you come to the Premier League, you also need to find a team to coach, do you want to listen to my advice?"

"Your suggestion isn't going to be for me to wait for you to retire, is it?"

"I'm thinking from your point of view, don't think that I am not enough friends, I still have to work for several years, but I won't give way so soon." Ferguson said with a smile, "I will say it bluntly: if you come to the Premier League, don't look for a team as casually as in Serie A, it is very important to find the team you want to go to in the future." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Li Bin was puzzled.

"Recently, on Manchester City's side, there are Thais in charge, and many other teams in the Premier League, such as Liverpool or something, also have foreign rich people who have invested in the funds. It's a good thing, for the league, when you have money, you play well, and that's certainly a good thing. However, for the coach, this is a problem: you know, if you choose the wrong team, you are in big trouble. ”

Ferguson paused and said, "The Premier League is different from Serie A, on the side of Serie A, the coach resigned, just change the place to work, and whatever team you choose, it's all about people." However, here in the Premier League, once you go to a team, you are bound to this team, and you will take over the grievances and hatreds of this team. "For example, if you take over Manchester City or Liverpool, then you don't want to be at Old Trafford again in this life." In the same way, if you go to Old Trafford or Tottenham, then you don't have to think about going to Arsenal in this life. Premier League fans are different from Serie A fans, the fans here are people who like to hold grudges, you go to a team, then, even if you have the mark of this team, you can't think about going to the team that is against him, you think about it. ”

This Li Bin really didn't think about it before, but now he says that if he goes to Manchester City, it will be impossible to go to Manchester United, which has to be considered.

However, Ferguson doesn't seem to have a good idea when he said this: now in the Premier League, the most needed change of coach should be Manchester City and Liverpool, both of which are teams that change owners, Manchester City has replaced Thaksin, Liverpool has replaced two Americans, they all want to change coaches now, this is the most likely place for Li Bin to go, and now in Ferguson's words, the meaning is obvious: If you go to those teams, we will not be friends in the future.

It's hard to be Ferguson's enemy.

"And, don't forget, it's true that the local tyrants are rich, but the local tyrants are also troublesome guys. A team like Manchester United, when you become a manager, that's the boss of the team. But Chelsea, with a coach, a manager, a chairman, a big boss, not to mention a technical director or anything – you don't like the feeling of a bunch of people piling on top of you, do you? Especially with so many people as my enemy? Ferguson looked at Li Bin and said again.

"Is this a threat?" Li Bin asked rhetorically.

"What kind of threat is this, you haven't taken over those teams yet, it's just advice." Ferguson patted him, "I know your methods, and I see your actions in Serie A." I don't want to be your enemy, we're fighting fiercely, and that's not good for you or me. Why should we do it? We can coexist. There's still a year to go, so make your own choices, and I look forward to you making the right choices. ”

"If I made the right decision, we wouldn't be enemies?" Li Bin asked rhetorically.

"Don't be stupid, kid, anyone who has the ability to fight Manchester United is the enemy of Manchester United. I'm sure you're going to be the enemy of Manchester United. Ferguson laughed, "It's just that I hope that I don't be a mortal enemy, I said that I am very optimistic about your succession, this is not nonsense." ”
