Chapter 196: Group Stage Draw

"Parma."

Every time a lot was drawn on the stage, Stevens recorded it.

The group grouping of the League Cup is related to whether the team can qualify smoothly, which is particularly important, the group score is good, there is no trouble in the promotion, the group score is not good, and the gods have no tricks.

Except for the top teams, no one dares to say that they don't care about the grouping.

Cologne's first opponent will be Parma from Serie A, who were once one of the seven sisters of Serie A.

"Osasuna."

Teams in La Liga.

Stevens recorded it.

"Lens, Group D, Ligue 1 team, Cologne, Parma, Osasuna were drawn before."

One of the last lots drawn by the guests on stage was Heerenveen from the Netherlands.

Parma, Osasuna, Lens, Heerenveen, Cologne.

Group D of this season's UEFA Cup is clear, with Cologne taking on Parma for the first time on 19 October.

The UEFA Cup group stage is a single round-robin format, with the top three teams advancing to the knockout rounds.

"Tang Zhenglong, what do you think of the draw results?"

These reporters are super excessive, they even saved the money for the air ticket to Zurich, and came directly to the Cologne training base to interview Tang Zhenglong!!

"How can you do this? It's hard for me to be a man, the boss is in Zurich, and you came to interview me? ”

A reporter said: "Global warming, volcanic eruptions in Iceland, it is not suitable to fly now, so we will do interviews in Germany, and this is also for Europe." ”

Burst!

Leather.

"Well, just kidding, we have a lot of reporters, my colleague is in Zurich right now, he's going to interview Stevens, Don, you don't have to worry."

Tang Zhenglong raised his eyebrows, "Then let me say a few words?" ”

"Say."

"The group stage is a game of 5 into 3, and I think we only need to kill two teams to advance."

"And who do you think Cologne can kill?"

"All!"

Boom.

Bragging again.

But then again, everyone likes to listen to Tang Zhenglong brag.

"First of all, Parma."

"Ten years ago Parma was very strong, now ...... It's at the level of Dortmund. ”

"Get out!" The fans from Dortmund roared in front of the TV.

"And Osasuna?"

"It's the first time I've heard of this team, and if you didn't tell me it's a La Liga team, I thought it was a brand of cookies."

Burst.

A thousand kilometers away, the Spaniards were scolding Tang Zhenglong in Spanish.

“%……&||¥*" (this is in Spanish)

"Lens?"

"I know that there is a very famous shaver in Germany called Braun, is there anything related to the two?"

"And Heerenveen?"

"Holland I only know about Philips."

Be dumbfounded.

The reporters were dumbfounded, after such a while, Tang Zhenglong offended all four opponents in the group stage.

Tang Zhenglong is triumphant on his side, and Stevens is miserable on Zurich's side.

Parma's head coach Stefano Pioli approached him.

"What do you mean by your players? Have I offended you? How do you damage my team. ”

Stevens was stunned.

"What's wrong?"

"Look!!"

Stevens looked at the television on the wall of the hall, and the little flame in his heart lit up.

"Tang Zhenglong!"

"Why is your mouth so big?"

After a while, Osasuna's head coach Jose came over and said angrily: "What do you guys Cologne mean? Say we're cookies? ”

"I didn't offend you, I happily came to draw lots, but I got such humiliation, this matter is not over."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, our players have a problem with the cerebellum, I will definitely discipline it when I go back."

Stevens, like his grandson, had just apologized to Osasuna's head coach when Lens head coach Francis Guiyo came to the door.

"What do you mean? Say we're razors, do I look like razors? ”

Stevens wanted to cry.

"I'm sorry."

"It's not over, you've insulted the French people."

"It's not me, it's Tang Zhenglong, his name is Tang Zhenglong, remember, his name is Tang Zhenglong!"

Francis was stunned, "I don't care so much, I know he's from your Cologne." ”

Soon, the Heerenveen manager arrived.

"His name is Tang Zhenglong, and this matter really has nothing to do with me."

"I'll tell you, even though we're not from the big five leagues, that doesn't mean we're easy to bully."

With that, he left.

Stevens was so angry that he didn't even go to the UEFA dinner and went straight back to Germany.

*****

"Dear Mr. Stefano Pioli, I apologize for what I said about Parma."

"That's a misinterpretation by the media, I have a lot of respect for Serie A, I have a lot of respect for Parma."

"Dear Monsieur Francis, I apologize to Lens, this is a beautiful city and I love France."

……

……

Emma and Claudia were invited to help Tang Zhenglong write an apology letter, and Stevens said that if the apology letter was not well written, there would be no need to participate in training.

"Don, why is your mouth so big?"

Tang Zhenglong covered his head, "It's not all reporters who hurt me. ”

"But when I read the report, you said it very happily."

Tang Zhenglong thought about it and smiled.

"Okay, anyway, don't get me wrong about the apology letter, one in English, one in their native language, please two of you."

*****

"Hey, Don, I'm back training."

"The apology letter has been written."

"Of course, I am proficient in various Chinese."

"I guess I copied it online."

"you!"

After a while, Stevens came, and Tang Zhenglong was about to accept his compliment on himself.

"Don!"

"Boss, I've sent out all the letters of apology."

Stevens pulled out a couple of letters from his back.

"Is that it?"

Tang Zhenglong was stunned.

"How is it in your hands?"

"It's all returned, you can see for yourself."

Tang Zhenglong took it and was dumbfounded.

"This idiot Emma."

It turned out that the letter to Parma was sent to Heerenveen, and the letter to Osasuna was sent to Lens.

"Head, I asked my assistant to send the letter, I didn't expect her to be so stupid."

"I'll send it again, this time I'll send it myself."

"No need, they've all called, mentioned you."

Tang Zhenglong smiled, "Are you moved by my sincerity?" ”

"They said, once I see you in the future, I will beat you once."

……

Tang Zhenglong was unhappy, "How can this be, I'm from China, you can't bully me." ”

"Head, let's file a complaint with UEFA."

"Yes, they have already complained to UEFA."

Silly!

"Especially Osasuna, you say they're biscuits, and they're angry."

"What then?"

Stevens patted Tang Zhenglong, "There's no way, you just play well, otherwise the team decides to put you back on the second team." ”

Woooooooooooo

Tang Zhenglong wailed in his heart.
