Coaching career started as a college team coach

"During the draw for the top 32, the first place in the 12 groups and the third place in the four best group matches in the Champions League are seeded teams, the second place in the 12 groups and the third place in the other four Champions League group matches are non-seeded teams. Seeded teams have the advantage of playing away first and then at home, and teams in the same group or the same league will no longer avoid each other."

"Yeah." Wei Le nodded, indicating that he understood, "So it means that we are the seeded team?"

"Yes, we have to draw non-seeded teams."

"Good luck, then." Wei Le smiled and wished Celars on the other side of the phone. Celars smiled and said, "It's a pity that I'm not going to draw in person this time. I can only watch, which is not exciting enough."

"It's okay, we will watch the live broadcast."

Cellars flew to Nyon, Switzerland a few days ago. This is the headquarters of UEFA and will also be the venue for the draw ceremony for the top 32 of the Europa League. Tonight, Wolves will know who their opponent will be.

"The host of the draw will be UEFA's deputy secretary general, Giorgio Marchetti." The commentator said on the TV screen. After a long speech, he finally got to the point.

This part made the Wolves players drowsy, mainly because Mr. Marchetti's English was not very good, and it was difficult for everyone to understand what he was saying.

When the guest of the draw, former Barcelona defender Abidal, walked on the stage, Wei Le, who was sitting in the conference room, stretched his body, then turned around and clapped his hands at the players behind him, "The draw is over, brothers wake up."

The list of seeded teams was first released on the TV screen.

Under the word SEEDED, the Wolves players found the name of their team, and also found that there were famous traditional strong teams such as Arsenal, AC Milan, RB Leipzig, and Salzburg Red Bull.

In the unseeded list of UNSEEDED, everyone did find some familiar Europa League teams, such as Lyon; but they also saw the name of Dortmund.

"Why are Dortmund here if they don't play well in the Champions League?" De Paul complained dissatisfiedly.

"It would be fun if we were to draw Dortmund." Jota laughed.

"Fun? It's fun indeed." Bowen rolled his eyes, "We ran into the unseeded team torpedo."

"But if we are drawn, we will play. It's no big deal." Van de Beek didn't care, and this was echoed by Jota. He said happily, "I haven't been to Germany yet. If I am drawn, I must go and have a good trip."

"Whether it can be fun or not depends on the result of the game." Wei Le replied with a smile, "First away and then at home. If we win, it's fine. If we lose, I'm afraid you won't have the heart to play more in Dortmund."

"Let's look at the draw first." Rodri said. Everyone quieted down.

"Okay, I'll draw a non-seeded team first." Giorgio Marchetti smiled and reached into the bowl full of black balls to stir them, and picked up the one on the top.

Everyone looked at the first draw result intently.

"Borussia Dortmund (GER)"

"Dortmund."

When he unpacked the ball, unfolded the folded paper inside, and read out the name on the paper, the Wolves could feel the uproar in the hall far outside the TV screen.

Everyone had different expressions. The representative sent by Dortmund looked solemn at this time, which was also recorded by the broadcast. On the other side of the room, Abidal was about to draw Dortmund's opponent.

"This is the king bomb at the beginning. Which team will Dortmund draw as its opponent?"

"RB Leipzig and Dortmund are teams from the same country, so they need to be avoided." The staff explained while putting the white balls of each seeded team into the bowl. He finally mixed the balls in the bowl and signaled Abidal that he could draw lots.

Abidal thought for a moment, picked up one of the balls, opened the shell and unfolded the paper inside.

When the paper was half unfolded on the TV screen, the Wolves players saw the "WOL" on it, and some of them took a breath.

Among the seeded teams, the only team that starts with "W" is Wolves!

Abidal unfolded the paper and grinned.

"WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS (ENG)"

"Wolves."

"Fuck!" Jota was the first to scream, "I, I... am I blessed?"

"Awesome, we were really hit by a torpedo."

Alphonso Davies directly began to imitate the shouts of the crew during the war, "Dortmund spotted on the starboard side!!"

The old face of Celars appeared on the screen. His awkward expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry also aroused the sympathetic laughter of the guests present. They all knew the situation of Wolves and their legendary experience of being promoted from the English Championship.

As a result, Wolves finally broke out of the encirclement and entered the top 32. As a result, the first team they were drawn was Dortmund?!

Everyone knows what level Dortmund is at.

Although Dortmund is now in the pain period of lineup transformation after Klopp left, its lineup foundation should not be underestimated. They were drawn in the same group as Real Madrid in the Champions League, which is why they dropped to third place and came back to play in the Europa League.

Dortmund can be said to be the strongest team among the non-seeded teams. The former Europa League overlord Sevilla gave up the opportunity to compete for the "Sevilla Cup" this time, but instead competed in the Champions League group stage. Qualified!

I'm afraid these will be the two most exciting games in the 1/16 finals. Hearing everyone's sympathy and laughter, Celars didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He himself has no confidence in his luck now.

Could it be that he played rock-paper-scissors with Wei Le too much in the past two days, causing his luck to run out? ?

Everyone is not interested in the subsequent draw. After all, if there is no Dortmund, there is no point in considering the subsequent matchups. By then, Wolves may be the first team to prepare for the next Europa League knockout stage...

Wei Le has been silent, just listening to everyone's discussion.

Some people are talking about their understanding of Dortmund, some are simply expressing their confidence, and some are making fun of Jota. But Wei Le is very happy to see that no matter what the topic of everyone's chat is, no one is backing down.

"Okay, brothers. "Wei Le stood up, and everyone stopped discussing and listened to the head coach's speech. Wei Le walked to the middle of everyone and signaled Gianluca Conte to turn off the projector.

"Gentlemen, as you can see, we drew Dortmund. This is a strong opponent, and we all know this fact. But at the same time, I am very happy to find that-"

"-You are all very confident about this. "Wei Le paused, "I don't know if we can beat Dortmund. The simplest proof is that the footbonaut we are using has been used by Dortmund since 2012. "

"They used it for 5 years longer than us, and these 5 years are enough for a lot of things to happen. "Wei Le spread his hands, "To be honest, I really didn't know if I could beat Dortmund until I saw you. "

"Because you are very confident. In everyone's eyes, I can see the excitement and excitement in your eyes, as well as, the most basic, the confidence to win. "

"This is very important, even more important than whether your hard power is strong. If you retreat before facing a strong enemy, then even if your hard power may be able to defeat them, you will not be able to do so. "

"Now, I am still not 100% sure of winning, but I am more confident. Because I know that you in front of me are willing to work hard for the goal of victory!"

After Wei Le finished speaking, he saw the excitement flashing in everyone's eyes, and he felt that the atmosphere was almost right.

"Yes, we drew the most difficult draw of the top 32, but we are going to the 1/8 finals!!!"

"We are going to the 1/8 finals!!!" Everyone responded loudly, and the chaotic shouts eventually turned into the same rhythm, and everyone shouted the same word-

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"
