"Old man, how did they arrange it, how can a champion coach like me go with a head coach like you who is the runner-up in the league."

George Lee walked the red carpet at the Grimaldi Convention Centre in Monte Carlo, Monaco, with Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson next to him.

"Aren't you also the runner-up coach, you just got it yesterday, and you haven't covered it yet?" Ferguson is also not good at stubble, and directly talked about Leeds United's reversal and loss of the UEFA Super Cup by AC Milan yesterday.

"You can't win the Europa League every time, otherwise who will play in the Champions League."

"As long as you can, if you have the ability, you can also take a Champions League and I'll take a look."

"Cut, take it." George Lee said lightly, as if it was easy to win the Champions League in his eyes.

Although the two of them were bickering while walking, at least the smirk on their faces never stopped, greeting fans and waving to media reporters along the way.

"How's that midfielder you bought from the Frenchman, what's wrong with his heart?"

Ferguson asked his disciple and cared about the players of the opposing team.

Because of heart problems, it has recently become an important topic around the whole of European football.

Because in the Champions League play-offs between Sevilla and AEK Athens, Sevilla's player Puerta suddenly collapsed to the ground due to heart problems during the game, and was later sent to the hospital in time to save his life.

At that time, Puerta fell to the ground in a coma and was treated by his teammate Dragutinovic in time, and he immediately fell unconscious when he regained consciousness, but was fortunately rescued by doctors when he was sent to the hospital.

As a result, the tournament was cancelled, which is why this year's Champions League draw ceremony will be held a little later than usual. Because the match between Sevilla and AEK Athens is not over yet, the result of which of the two teams will be the last to qualify for the Champions League group stage is still unknown. The two sides will replay the second leg in the next day or two.

In the first leg, Sevilla were already 2-0 up, so UEFA also tacitly accepted the Spanish team to advance, and the last place to be decided was set as the team in Pot 2.

Since Cameroon's Marc Vivian Foo died of a heart attack on the pitch in 2003, the heart health of players has been a topic of concern in football, and after the player fainted in the game again in European football, the condition of Leeds United's young player Muamba has also been concerned by the British media.

That's why Ferguson also asked Muamba.

"The early the detection and treatment, the recovery." George Lee informed Ferguson about his players.

"Can it really be recovered?" Ferguson was a little puzzled, "Will you still be able to play then?" ”

"There's no problem, after all, I don't want the 2 million to go down the drain. Even if he can't play, I feel like I've spent 2 million to do a good deed. In order to prevent that kind of thing from happening again in Seville, we have the latest cardiac emergency equipment in training and games, after all, human life is not a joke, right, old man. ”

Ferguson didn't answer directly, but stopped and thought about it, and the kind smile on his face was gone.

After thinking about it for a while, he began to consult George Lee.

"Is that equipment reliable, get two for my medical team, and if you can, I will work with you to suggest that this equipment should be used universally to avoid ......"

"You're not going to keep it for yourself, are you?" George Lee interrupted Ferguson and said something that would have made Ferguson suffer a heart attack. Fortunately, Ferguson turned a pacemaker, otherwise maybe the equipment George Lee just said would have been used.

"You bastard!"

After walking into the convention center and leaving the flashing lights of the media, Ferguson finally couldn't resist kicking his good disciple.

George Li dodged this kick very quickly and walked forward quickly.

Because he found out that an unexpected person was also present at this draw ceremony.

"Hey, Jose." George Lee stepped forward and shook Mourinho's hand, "You really went to Spain......"

Ferguson, who is lagging behind, has also stepped up, after all, now that Mourinho has left the Premier League, it is not bad to exchange feelings, at least to sell face or something, in case he retires and finds this Portuguese "madman" to replace him in charge of Manchester United.

Whoever makes his most admired disciple can't go back to Manchester United.

Cech, who was the best goalkeeper in Europe last season, and Renate Dasayev, the legendary goalkeeper of the former Soviet Union, drew the seventh note of the team in the first pot of the Champions League group stage, which was shown to everyone by Inter Milan.

Leeds United have been confirmed in Group H, the last group.

The other three Premier League teams, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United, were placed in Group A, B and F respectively. All four teams are in Pot 1 and the Premier League has shown a trend away from La Liga and Serie A to become Europe's number one league.

Then, Maldini, who did not play yesterday due to injury, was the best defender in Europe last season, along with Dasayev, began to draw the teams in Pot 2 of each group.

Porto, Valencia, Bremen, Benfica, Lyon and Roma were drawn in turn, while the names of three teams were written inside the remaining two balls.

Maldini finally took out one of the last two balls and handed it to Dasayev.

"Eindhoven!"

After watching it, Dasayev showed everyone present and all the fans in front of the TV that he had the note in his hand.

That means that the second team in Group H, where Leeds United are located, will be the winner of Sevilla and AEK Athens, which everyone is very concerned about right now.

It is likely to be Leeds United's old rival in European competition in the past two seasons, Sevilla.

If Sevilla are the weaker team in Pot 2, then Seedorf and Dasayev draw Pot 3 teams have all eyes on George Lee.

CSKA Moscow was drawn in seventh place, and Leeds United avoided the dilemma of making an invasion of Russia in the cold winter, while also avoiding the likes of Marseille, Lazio, Celtic and Sporting Lisbon.

Steaua Bucharest, Leeds United's 05/06 Europa League semi-final opponents have been drawn into Group H of Leeds United's side this year.

Two old rivals in a row have been assigned to their own group, and three teams from the top four of last season's Europa League have met again in the Champions League, and I really have to admire the arrangement of fate.

George Lee, who was sitting on the sidelines, smiled and began to look at the fourth block team, looking for any opponents who were still old faces who would be with him.

This search really made him find one.

Shakhtar Donetsk of Ukraine, who finished third or fourth in a Champions League group with Leeds United last season, are not sure if they will meet again this season.

Ferguson, who was on the side, kicked George Li with his foot, because he already felt that his disciple's smile was a little unnatural, almost a little too much, so that he could restrain himself a little.

"Old man, why are you kicking me?"

"If you restrain yourself, people all over the world will be watching."

"Are you jealous of my good draw?"

Ferguson was not used to George Li, and directly mocked: "Bully some of your subordinates all day long, and have the ability to kick some powerful ones." ”

"You're amazing, are you going to play Roma 7-1 again?"

George Lee said that it was Manchester United, the first two opponents to be drawn were Roma and Sporting Lisbon, and just last season's Champions League knockout round, Manchester United slaughtered Roma 7-1 in one round.

I have to say that UEFA will do things.

George Lee wanted Shakhtar who was not destined to be placed in his own group, and in Group D, Kaka drew Shakhtar to his own AC Milan group, which also included Benfica and Celtic.

It's just that Kaka, who just helped the team beat Leeds United yesterday, can be regarded as a small compensation for Leeds United, and at the 7th goal, Fenerbahce of the only remaining two-goal team was withdrawn, and the relatively weak Slavia Prague was sent to Group H.

I have to say that AC Milan is a reasonable team, just snatched Leeds United's UEFA Super Cup yesterday, and today the backhand let Maldini, Seedorf, and Kaka draw three good signings for Leeds United.

Seville/AEK Athens, Bucharest Star, Prague Slavia.

To put it mildly, these three teams are basically teams playing at the level of the Europa League, and this time they were lucky enough to come to the Champions League, but they met the two-time Europa League champions, Leeds United.

I don't know if they're lucky or unlucky.

Anyway, George Lee thinks he's lucky. At least yesterday's disappointment from yesterday's defeat to AC Milan has vanished after the Champions League draw.

^^^

The next day, the British media reported on the results of the Champions League draw.

All media outlets are unanimously optimistic that Leeds United will emerge from the Champions League group stage and reach the knockout stages this year.

Among them, Yorkshire's local newspapers "Yorkshire Post" and "Leeds Courier" are the most direct.

"This time, I don't want to win the League Cup."

This is the biggest headline in the sports section of the Yorkshire Post.

To add insult to injury, the Leeds Courier put the Champions League draw results on the front page.

"Guys, we're going to the round of 16."
