Chapter 245 The second stage group stage draw (1)

Jiang Mu finally decided to cooperate with Nike. This was not entirely because Nike offered higher endorsement fees, but because Adidas withdrew. Rational Germans would not make greater investments for their potential. A near-miracle like Jiang Mu’s

They couldn't understand the results, so they were more willing to invest for the immediate future. Five million euros in three years was their limit, and Nike was obviously more bold and open, and they were willing to put their money on Jiang Mu.

After some bargaining by Scheringa, the two parties signed a contract. The contract was not as long as Pan Hua proposed, only three years, and the total value of the endorsement fee was US$8 million.[]

According to the annual average, this price is higher than five years of 12 million, but a five-year contract of 12 million is obviously a bit risky, so Pan Hua easily accepted the three-year price of 8 million. But if he can

Seeing the future, Pan Hua will definitely sign a ten-year contract with Jiang Mu at all costs.

In the two days after signing the contract, Jiang Mu has been busy shooting commercials. He originally thought that it would be OK to just pose, but in fact it was not that easy. Not to mention flying to the United States, he was shooting in the Netherlands. Like him

A newbie who rarely shoots commercials won't be able to do it right away.

After two days and one night of torture, Jiang Mu completed the filming of the commercial. After returning to the Netherlands on a red-eye flight, he fell asleep until Scheringa woke him up before training the next day.

Jiang Mu got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and then ate breakfast. The breakfast was made by Schlinja himself, including a cup of coffee, two pieces of Alkmaar cheese, an egg, a sausage, and a peeled apple.

Jiang Mu yawned and said, "It looks like I really need to find an agent. I've just accepted a few advertisements and I'm so busy. If I receive more ads in the future, I won't be able to make it through the day."

Sihelinjia ate breakfast and said: "Then you can't accept fewer advertisements."

Jiang Mu sighed: "Looking at so many dollars and euros, it makes me feel bad."

"You are obsessed with money, but it's time for you to find an agent, but you have to be careful about this. Agents are mostly vampires, and they might make you lose your money and lose your job." Shelinjia said seriously.

"I will be careful."

Even if Schlinjia didn't say it, Jiang Mu also knew the importance and harm of agents. Today's agents are not so developed, and there are relatively few conflicts between agents and players. Later, agents became more important in the football circle.

It is becoming more and more important, and the contradiction between players and agents is becoming more and more prominent. Many stars prefer to find their own relatives or even become their own agents.

After breakfast, Jiang Mu drove to the club with Skhelinja. Skhelinja went to the office. Jiang Mu went directly to the training ground to check the turf and training equipment, waiting for the arrival of the players.

Although the rest are substitutes and players transferred from the second team, Jiang Mu is not perfunctory in training at all. Alkmaar does not have so much money to add fresh blood during the winter break. These substitutes and young players are him

The reserve strength of the game will depend on the strength of these benches in the second half of the game.

The young players Jiang Mu focuses on training are Robben and Huntelaar. In order to allow them to get better training, Jiang Mu does not keep them in the first team because in the first team, they get few playing opportunities.

Many, these two people train with the first team, mainly playing in youth leagues of high quality, so that they can get exercise in the game.

Jiang Mu has not relaxed his demands on substitutes with certain abilities such as Martens, Engel, Suleiman, Rai Yi and Klose. These people may play at any time. Maintaining a good state and mentality is important.

Very important. Jiang Mu attaches great importance to maintaining mentality. In unimportant games, he will always let the substitutes come on to find a feeling, so that they can feel that the victory and championship are due to them.

Jiang Mu's approach has also been appreciated by the players and coaching staff. Although capable substitutes like Klose, Martens and Suleiman really want to play the main role, they dare not sit on the bench.

If there is a hint of complaint, they will only train more seriously and wait for the opportunity to play. They know that as long as they perform well, they will not miss the chance to play.

After three consecutive days of training, the draw ceremony for the second stage of the Champions League group stage began.

1999

In the 2000 season, the UEFA Champions League continued to deepen its reform. Because the number of teams increased to 32, a group stage was also added. Therefore, the group stage was also divided into two stages. The first stage of the group stage was divided into 32 teams.

8 groups of 4 teams are played, with each team playing 6 games. The top two teams in the 8 groups advance to the second stage of the group stage, and the third place enters the third round of the UEFA Cup. The second stage of the group stage consists of 16 teams.

The teams were divided into four groups of 4 and the top 8 were determined to advance to the knockout rounds.

This protracted and lengthy competition system was the shortest-lived, lasting only four seasons. It was canceled in the 0304 season and returned to the original competition system of only one group stage, and then knockout rounds after promotion.

Jiang Mu and Schlinja flew to Monte Carlo, Monaco, and the drawing ceremony was held at the Grimaldi Conference Center in Monte Carlo.

This kind of lottery ceremony invites many famous coaches and stars. In fact, whether they come or not does not affect the progress of the lottery. UEFA makes the ceremony so grand, but it just allows the major forces in today's football to communicate and perform with each other.

.

This is the first time Jiang Mu has participated in the draw ceremony held by UEFA. He did not attend the last draw ceremony of the peripheral group stage because of the game. Here, Jiang Mu finally saw the superstars of his young era with his own eyes.

The tall, dark and thin man was Rivaldo, and the person standing chatting with him was Roberto Carlos.

The young man with short hair and a fair face is the king of Real Madrid - Raul Gonzalez. He is chatting with David Beckham, who has a mohawk haircut. To Beckham's right

, is the famous hottie Victoria.

Beckham was not the only one with his family in this ceremony, but there was no doubt that this couple was the most shining presence in the room. Well, the cameraman's flashbulb kept flashing at the two of them.

Ferguson was flirting with his old rival Wenger and some well-known coaches, and glanced at the focus of the cameras from time to time. The old Scotsman regarded the handsome boy as his son, and the handsome boy also regarded him as his father.

, but handsome guy Bei seems to be slowly moving towards Victoria after getting married.

Suddenly Wenger's eyes lit up and he said to Ferguson: "Look, that little guy is here. I'm going to say hello to him."

"Oh, this little guy is here too. I'll go take a look too."

Ferguson, like Wenger, was very uninterested in the conversation and wished he could find an excuse to leave. However, when he saw this person, he still walked over with Wenger.

In fact, this hall has always been very lively, everyone is talking and laughing, but Jiang Mu feels like an outsider. Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t want to blend in, but to chat, he must at least find a friend or someone familiar, but here he

He knows many people, but these people don't know him.

"Hello, Coach Jiang, hello."

"Coach Jiang, I'm so happy to meet a young and promising coach like you."

Two people appeared in front of Jiang Mu. One had the typical red rosacea, and the other was tall and broad with a hooked nose. He immediately recognized these two people, Wenger and Ferguson.

For a moment, Jiang Mu was a little flattered, because no matter in terms of record, reputation, or age, he was a nobody, but Ferguson and Wenger were already famous all over the world. They came to greet him in person. This was really surprising.

beyond his expectation.

Jiang Mu is a reborn person after all, with maturity and aura that belies his age. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said politely and reservedly: "Mr. Alex, Mr. Arsene, it's such an honor to meet you.

You are my idols."

Schlinjia also recognized the famous Ferguson and Wenger. She never thought that world-class coaches like Ferguson and Wenger would come to greet Jiang Mu in person, because although Jiang Mu is now very popular in the media, in fact, he is not

What a big honor, except for the title of Eredivisie champion. Schlinja was surprised and came over to say hello.

Wenger thought he thought Skhelinja was Jiang Mu's girlfriend, so he just nodded politely.

Ferguson laughed and patted Jiang Mu on the shoulder,

"Your girlfriend is very beautiful. Young man, you have good vision and do better on the field. Dortmund is not easy to deal with. You actually stepped on them."

Jiang Mu laughed and said, "That's luck. They have a new coach and a new lineup."

Wenger said: "Your training and discovery of new people is unmatched by even an old guy like me. Sometimes I am really envious, jealous and hateful."

Jiang Mu said: "How can I compare with you? The newcomers you discovered are now superstars, while my team members are still newcomers."

Wenger was full of praise: "Ronaldinho, Drogba, Kuyt, and Robben will all become superstars. Their technical awareness and body are very good. They only need game experience and stage."

."

Ferguson said: "I also admire your style of play, young man. It's very flexible, unlike some rigid guys who only have one posture their whole life."

Ferguson's words contained insinuations, and Wenger was certainly not happy about it. Without waiting for Jiang Mu's answer, he said: "I still think that only by sticking to one tactic to the end can we achieve better results."

"Tactics don't matter, as long as we can win." Jiang Mu couldn't help but smile in his heart. These two people were lifelong rivals, attacking each other on all occasions.

"Young man, why is it not important? Tactics determine what kind of coach you are, whether you are loved by fans or hated by others." Wenger said sternly.

Ferguson said disdainfully: "As long as you can win the championship, whatever tactics you use will be loved by the fans. If you can't win the championship, whatever tactics you use will be hated by the fans."

"You are thinking in a utilitarian way," Wenger said tit for tat.

"That's pedantic thinking of yours." Ferguson responded unceremoniously.

Just when Jiang Mu smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say, UEFA President Johansson arrived. The host of the ceremony, who was already standing on the high platform, announced that the ceremony was about to begin and asked all the guests to return to their seats.

Take a seat.
