Chapter 897: I Am the Best in the World
Real madrid.
Group G.
Infantino unscrewed the ball, and the small note inside decided the fate of Real Madrid this season.
"Let's see, who is the defending champion's first opponent?"
"Ajax from the Netherlands."
Ajax's current manager is the Dutch veteran Martin Jol, who smiled and was a little bitter, and was in a group with the defending champions, which is really bloody.
In the group stage draw, the first two teams must be strong teams, so if it is not the group of death, then the third team is particularly crucial.
Mourinho and Martin are waiting for each other, but who is the third team?
Infantino deliberately sold a pass.
"Guess who the defending champion's second opponent is?"
Ac milan.
Allegri smiled, and it was really strange to meet Real Madrid for two seasons in a row.
The last team in Group G is Auxerre from France, which is basically a team that spoils the game.
The end of the draw ceremony also means that the new season of the Champions League has officially begun.
******
Since the 1992 Champions League restructuring, no team has ever been able to defend the title.
Even Real Madrid, who have won the most titles in the history of the Champions League, did not do it.
Florentino has invested so much money, but winning the Champions League for the second year in a row still looks like a long way off.
But this season is different, Mourinho is here, and Real Madrid's Tang Zhenglong and Ronaldo are still there, although they have not been able to introduce Kaka, but it seems that this Real Madrid is also super luxurious, and it seems that there is a chance to win the Champions League for two consecutive years.
Come out of the venue.
Jose Mourinho was stopped by reporters.
"Jose, is it possible for Real Madrid to defend the Champions League?"
Mourinho smiled.
"I've been asked this question many times, and I still answer the same question, and I will have an answer in May next year."
"Is the lack of Kaka the club's biggest failure this season?"
Mourinho shook his head.
'Kaka is a very good player and all I can say is that it's a shame that he didn't come to Real Madrid, but we have enough people to handle the game.'
"Is Di Maria's place fixed?"
Mourinho held out two fingers.
"In the first two months, nothing is fixed, I will make the best adjustments according to the game situation, even Tang Zhenglong and Cristiano may not have the main position."
"Jose, do you think you're the best manager in Europe?"
"It's not."
β¦β¦
'I'm not the best manager in Europe, I'm the best manager in the world.
β¦β¦
******
"Don, do you think you're the best striker in Europe?"
Tang Zhenglong shook his head.
"I'm not the best striker in Europe, I'm the best striker in the world."
Journalist Khan died.
"Why did you learn Jose?"
"Haha, because I think this sentence is so handsome."
The reporters thought to themselves, Mourinho's old fox mouth is so tight, so will Tang Zhenglong loosen it a little?
Thereupon......
"Don, do you think Real Madrid can be the first team to defend the Champions League?"
"This ......"
"Don, don't you dare to say it?"
Tang Zhenglong shook his head.
Everyone was a little disappointed, but they didn't expect Tang Zhenglong to be so cowardly.
"The reason why I don't say it is because it's not up to me."
"Who's up to that?"
"Jose."
"How?"
"I ask you, why did Real Madrid win the title last season?"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Of course, there are many reasons for this, and it is not clear in one or two sentences.
"Why?"
"Because Pellegrini can use Tang Zhenglong correctly."
"Therefore, whether Real Madrid can defend the Champions League depends entirely on whether Jose can use Tang Zhenglong correctly, take good care of him, and make him the absolute core."
DUANGοΌοΌ
Nima!!
Speaking of which, I still praise myself.
Shameless!!
NO ββFACEγ
Tang Zhenglong was triumphant after speaking, but the reporters didn't seem to react.
"Am I not right?"
ββ¦β¦β
"Why don't we go and have a cup of coffee."
"That's a good idea."
"Scattered, scattered."
"Don't go!!"
"Come back."
Tang Zhenglong took out a small notebook, "Damn, ban them all!! β
Just then, Ibrahimovic leaned in.
"Don, this is Monaco."
ββ¦β¦β
"Are you an idiot? Now you know this is Monaco? β
ββ¦β¦β
"You're an idiot."
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"I've heard that Monaco's nightclubs are some of the most fun in Europe."
It must be that this is a tourist city in the first place, and all kinds of entertainment facilities are the best, and it is no exaggeration to say that this is the Las Vegas of Europe.
"Hehe, you're in for a treat?"
"No problem."
"Okay, go out at night, you look for me."
"OK, wait for my call."
*******
In the evening, Tang Zhenglong was in trouble, and Mourinho asked Marcelo to keep an eye on him.
This is the treatment of "repeat offenders".
"Curly, what will happen to you if I go out?"
"JosΓ© said, deduct two months' salary."
ββ¦β¦β
"What if JosΓ© doesn't know?"
"No way, Jose is a thief."
"That's right."
Seeing that the appointed time was approaching, Tang Zhenglong was anxious.
"My stomach hurts."
"Ahh I'm going to the pharmacy. β
Unexpectedly, Marcelo picked up the phone, "Hotel front desk?" Come to a private doctor. β
Tang Zhenglong was dumbfounded.
"Don, this hotel has everything."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Tang Zhenglong had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Nightclub?"
"Curly, do you know the nightclubs in Rio?"
Marcelo nodded, "The nightclubs in Rio are top-notch." β
"The nightclubs here are 10 times more fun than in Rio."
As a Brazilian, Marcelo was naturally fun-loving, and when he heard that the nightclubs here were so fun, he wanted to go there.
"Curly, I'll take you with me, but you're going to help me fool Jose."
"But Jose really can't cheat."
"You listen to me."
Tang Zhenglong called the hotel customer service and asked for more than a dozen pillows, all spread them on the bed, and then covered them with quilts.
"It looks like someone is sleeping in a bed, but what if Jose calls us?"
Tang Zhenglong took out MP3.
"That's it."
"We recorded the snoring and played it on a loop."
"Is this okay?"
"Have you ever watched the American drama "Prison Break"? That's how it works, it's very smart. β
Marcelo is skeptical, if he is caught, it will be two months' salary, but it seems to be worth it for ten times the fun of the nightclub.
"Okay."
"Give you an MP3, now go to the bathroom and record."
******
Mourinho is very worried, this is Monaco, a place for drunken fans, especially the nightlife here, if Tang Zhenglong goes out and has an accident, it will be troublesome, and it will even affect the team.
So he knocked on Tang Zhenglong and Marcelo's room.
"Don?"
Gently turn the door open, and come out with a snoring sound.
