Star Coach

Jiang Shan didn't know why there were so many Chinese reporters. They appeared together in Nyon, Switzerland, forming a special landscape. They were full of passion and confidence. When they saw the relevant personnel of each promoted team, they rushed to the meeting with each other. past.

Campora is honored to be the latest interviewee. It is conceivable that the Monaco team will reveal countless team details to the Chinese audience, which is great.

Jiangshan's words, "Brothers, he is the chairman of Monaco, interview him." easily overshadowed his status as head coach and interim head coach.

After the war was drawn to Campora, Jiang Shan retired and found a secluded cafe. Hey, there were acquaintances there.

"Jiang Shan, come and sit. Have another cup of coffee." The English with a strong Scottish accent was not pleasant at all.

Jiangshan recognized it immediately. Ferguson's team was also first in the group, so it was normal to appear here. Moreover, Leeds is too close to Manchester United, so Jiangshan often sees this old man with a red nose.

"Did David Gill block the gun for you?" Jiang Shan sat down carelessly, "Are you in a good mood, are you ready to deal with Real Madrid?"

"Haha, I also think we will play against Real Madrid." Ferguson laughed.

The group stage qualification situation has just come out, and the focus of all the media is Manchester United versus Real Madrid. Even the head coaches of both sides did not deny that they would meet each other.

Phil Neville said in an interview: "I hope to meet Real Madrid later, but I have a strong feeling that we will draw them."

He seems to understand the operations of the top management of the Champions League very well! Ferguson wanted revenge even more. In the Champions League quarter-finals of the 1999-2000 season, Manchester United drew 0:0 with Real Madrid away from home. They fell behind 0:3 at home and finally caught up to 2:3, and were unfortunately eliminated.

Real Madrid never wanted to step on Manchester United to advance. The whole team hopes to meet Manchester United and is determined to defeat Manchester United. Figo said directly that he most hopes to meet Manchester United, especially because Manchester United has a coach who is his friend.

Ferguson's assistant coach Queiroz is a friend of Figo. Figo won the World Youth Championship in 1991 and it was Queiroz who led the team.

Jiang Shan sipped his coffee and said with a smile, "How are you going to deal with them? They are going up and down, as if they are determined to defeat Manchester United. It seems that you are not domineering enough. Real Madrid has always regarded you as the second team!"

"The draw hasn't been drawn yet, why are you thinking so much?" Ferguson shrugged. "It's possible for us to meet Juventus. Of course, they would rather meet Barcelona."

Lippi just took over the interview and made it clear that he wanted to meet Barcelona. His team has not played against Barcelona yet. Del Piero has the same idea. They don't want to meet opponents in the same league, so facing Barcelona is a good choice.

Ferguson suddenly laughed, "Are you trying to trick me again? I feel that you are most likely to encounter Real Madrid. A new force will face an old giant. What a good gimmick."

"It's a pity that we don't have enough gears, otherwise it would be very exciting to play two games with Real Madrid." Jiang Shan is not worried. He has changed history. He is first in the group stage and there is no way he will encounter AC Milan and Valencia. , but Inter Milan, Juventus and Real Madrid are all very likely.

"We are not Real Madrid's second team. If they want to eat us, they have to lose a layer of skin." Jiang Shan added, "I see that the Champions League is too fierce, and I am already preparing for a summer transfer."

After that, he stood up and left, preparing for the lottery.

…………

"I asked you guy, why did you run away?" Campora saw the situation and raised an eyebrow. "I was tortured so much by those reporters. These days, the chairman is more popular than the head coach."

"That's necessary. You must be popular." Jiang Shan smiled, "The drawing is about to begin. I hope you have good luck."

"I'm very unlucky. I hope you can lead a strong team." Campora said, "I hope to get the worst team. Alas... I can't embarrass him too much in Monaco." ?”

The first team to be drawn out has a somewhat unfavorable schedule. It plays home first and then away, which puts a lot of pressure on teams that don't have a good mentality.

Sure enough, Real Madrid lived up to expectations and was the first to be drawn out. They will play at home first. The four top teams in the group are all worried. Manchester United, Milan, Barcelona and Monaco do not like this opponent.

The first set of duels was about to be drawn. Jiangshan looked at Ferguson, and Ferguson also looked at him.

"Manchester United!"

There are no surprises, it’s Manchester United, Real Madrid vs. Manchester United. Ferguson smiled slightly, expressionless, hating UEFA so much.

The second team to be drawn out is AC Milan. Ancelotti is very calm. They are not afraid of any team in the Champions League. They have also performed exceptionally well in the league this season and firmly occupy the first place. They are more terrifying than Juventus. .

The second team to be drawn out, the second team in the group, did not have the same country derby, Benitez's Valencia.

Valencia met AC Milan and both had hopes of winning. Benitez is eager to prove himself in Europe, and AC Milan is his best target.

The second group matchup is between Valencia and AC Milan, with Milan playing home first and then away.

Jiang Shan was a little surprised, why hasn't he been taken out yet? Has Monaco been forgotten? Compared to the super giants, Monaco is too small.

In the third group of matches, Inter Milan was drawn out. They only finished second in the group, which was a pity. With their ability, they can definitely get first place in the group.

Monaco also met them in the first round of the group stage, and Jiang Shan's first game as coach was against Inter Milan. Fortunately, he lived up to his mission and won the away game, continuing his coaching career.

Cooper looked nervously at the other opponents who ranked first in the group. Only Barcelona and Monaco were left. He really wanted to meet Barcelona, ​​"No Monaco, no Jiangshan."

For some reason, Cooper didn't want to face Jiangshan. Jiangshan had studied his tactics thoroughly, which made it difficult for him to defeat Jiangshan.

If it was Barcelona, ​​that would be great. He was not afraid of Barcelona.

Monica, who had a good figure, held another small ball, "Monaco!"

As soon as the voice fell, Cooper smiled bitterly, and Jiangshan smiled slightly. It turned out to be Inter Milan. Still going to Milan, the history that could not be avoided.

Jiangshan looked at his palm and quickly thought about how to deal with Inter Milan in his mind. It's not easy to deal with. Inter Milan is now gradually falling behind in Serie A, and most of their thoughts are on the Champions League. Monaco wants to cross this hurdle, which is no less than winning the French Ligue 1 championship.

The last group of matches, Juventus vs. Barcelona, ​​Lippi's dream came true, Barcelona's head coach Antic's face was not very good, he didn't like Juventus' style. These two games are also not easy to play.

Manchester United vs. Real Madrid; Milan vs. Valencia; Monaco vs. Inter Milan; Barcelona vs. Juventus, in the quarterfinals, every opponent is difficult to deal with, and every game is difficult to win.

As expected, there was no derby between the same countries, which is a blessing for the fans and UEFA.
