The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 745
745 Carry Out the Shadows to the End
Infantino felt the gazes of everyone below him. He smiled faintly and didn’t say anything.
The drawing of lots continued. The guests drew out a second team. This team was not Valencia as imagined by the Grand Prix, but Sevilla!
Although they are also from La Liga, the expectation of everyone is much lower.
The Chelsea and Valencia managers heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhong Cheng looked at the team and shook his head. Why didn’t he know Valencia? Everyone wanted to see which group Valencia was in?
At this moment, UEFA Secretary-General Baldy Infantino unfolded the note in his hand, which read-Group H!
Zhong Cheng was slightly stunned. Then, he thought that their Leeds United team seemed to have been assigned to Group H. In other words, Leeds United and Seville are in the same group!
Zhong Cheng was slightly stunned. He really didn’t expect this!
Sevilla are also very strong. They are UEFA Cup champions. Many people even tease that the UEFA Cup is the Sevilla Cup.
This team was very strong. Zhong Cheng nodded slightly. This opponent was not easy to play.
The others heaved a sigh of relief. Another piece of hard bone was taken away. They all congratulated Zhong Cheng and Leeds United in their hearts.
The third team to be drawn out was Porto, not Valencia. This was a great disappointment to everyone. They really wanted to see which group Valencia was in.
The Porto team’s grouping also came out very quickly. They were divided into Group A and the Reds’ Liverpool team.
The fourth team that was pulled out was still not Valencia. The flowers on the scene were all gone.
The fourth team to be drawn was Werder Bremen, who were assigned to lead Group C and Real Madrid in a group.
The fifth team should be Valencia, but to everyone’s disappointment, the fifth team was still not Valencia, but Lyon. They were divided into Group E and Barcelona.
At this time, everyone could tell that Chelsea and Valencia had not been assigned to the team. The chances of the two teams being in the same group were very, very high. It seemed that UEFA was really playing tricks.
The sixth team was the Valencia team that everyone had been looking forward to for a long time.
Zhong Cheng’s gaze was fixed on Infantino. Everyone present and in front of the TV set stared at Infantino to see which group Valencia would be in.
At this moment, Infantino grabbed a small ball, unscrewed it, and slowly opened the piece of paper in his hand. Everyone’s gazes were fixed on this. They were all looking forward to it. What was the result?
Infantino slowly opened the piece of paper and flipped it over. It said–Group B!
Valencia was really divided into Group B, in the same group as Chelsea!
Everyone cried out in alarm. This was a shady scene! This was a naked shady scene! UEFA is having a good time this time. It’s really going to end up in the shadows!
José Mourinho’s expression was extremely cold, and his heart was filled with anger!
The media reporters on the scene were all very excited and excited. They just jumped up. This was big news. There was something to report after the match.
Infantino did not say anything and continued to signal the guests to draw lots.
Seeing this, Zhong Cheng shook his head and thought to himself, “It’s strange that this UEFA’s Tama didn’t have a shady plot. These damn UEFA people have already been grouped by themselves. Why did they still draw this trash lot? Damn it!”
Now that Leeds United and Sevilla are in the same group, UEFA may have planned it. Because Leeds United won the UEFA Cup against Seville that year, the feud between the two teams was settled after Leeds stole the UEFA Cup from Seville.
Now that both teams have reached the UEFA Champions League, UEFA is naturally happy to see these two teams fight!
At this moment, Zhong Cheng’s heart suddenly jumped. This damned UEFA was really good at scheming!
Black, really fucking black!
Live and television viewers have never felt that UEFA’s draw was so dark. This is really a new level of darkness.
The seventh team to be drawn out was Eindhoven, who were assigned to Group G and Inter in the same group. Benfica was the only one left, so they were naturally assigned to Group D, which was the same group as AC Milan.
This way, the second-tier team was shocked to death, and the dust settled.
However, the scene was filled with a strange atmosphere. Many people were speechless. The media reporters at the scene were frantically pressing the shutter to record all of this.
Sure enough, there are many shadows year after year, and there are many of them today.
There were so many shady scenes appearing in this group’s second stage drawing of lots. This was simply not going to let anyone live!
The next team to be selected was the third level. The teams in the third level were the two teams from the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 and Stuttgart. These two teams were still very strong and should be stronger than other teams of the same level.
There is also a team from Italy in the third level, Lazio! This team is also very difficult to deal with, there are also many teams do not want to draw them.
Naturally, Zhong Cheng also hoped that he wouldn’t want to draw these teams. He wanted to draw a team that wasn’t strong because it would be very easy.
However, one of the third-tier teams that attracted special attention was the Bucharest Stars.
Because the team had been with Leeds United in the Champions League last season, the two teams had a hard time getting into the game. Will UEFA let Bucharest and Leeds renew their ties this time?
Anyway, a lot of people think this is very possible, according to UEFA’s urinary nature, this group is definitely like this.
Right now, many people were paying attention to the drawing of lots for the third level.
However, at this time, there will be another award, this time for the best midfielder in the Champions League last season, which was won by the defending Dutch midfielder Clarence Seedorf!
Because Kaka was placed in the striker group, the midfield group was Seedorf. If Kaka was in the midfield, the prize would definitely belong to Kaka.
At this time, everyone was watching the drawing of lots.
The drawing of lots for the third stage had finally arrived. Now, everyone was paying attention to Bucharest. Whether they would be together with Leeds United or not. Zhong Cheng was also very concerned about this.
Zhong Cheng wanted to see if UEFA’s shadow would be so powerful, so blatant.
The first team to be drawn out was the Lazio team. The team that no one wanted to draw was divided into Group C. They were in the same group as Real Madrid and Werder Bremen. This was a group of death. Take a deep breath.
The second team to be pulled out was Stuttgart. Everyone held their breath and waited to see who was so unlucky to win the Bundesliga. Infantino quickly unfolded the note in his hand. It said Group E, they were in the same group as Barcelona and Lyon. This could be considered a group of death in the city.
The third team to be pulled out is still not Star Bucharest, which is very disappointing. UEFA, can you be faster? The third team, also from Bundesliga, Schalke 04, was drawn in Group B. They were assigned to the same group as Chelsea and Valencia, which was not easy either.
The fourth team to be pulled out was finally the Bucharest Stars. Everyone present was watching Infantino closely. They wanted to see if Infantino would openly split the Bucharest Stars into Leeds United’s group.
Zhong Cheng’s eyes were also fixated on Infantino. He already had a very bad premonition in his heart. It seemed that UEFA really had the guts to put Bucharest Star in their Leeds United group!
Right now, everyone was staring at Infantino. Infantino slowly unfolded the note and showed it to everyone-Group H!
Bucharest was indeed in the Leeds United group. Zhong Cheng was speechless. Oh my God, how could UEFA be so shameless?
All the media reporters on the scene were shocked. UEFA had really gone all out this time. This time, the Champions League group match had a lot to watch, especially Group H. Apart from this group, there were also a few death groups. This season’s grouping was indeed extraordinary.
Zhong Cheng was speechless. UEFA could really do it.
The fifth team to be drawn is Marseille, who are in Group A, the same group as Liverpool Porto.
The sixth team to be drawn out is the Moscow Central Army, which is in Group G and Inter Milan Eindhoven in the same group.
The seventh team to be drawn is the Celtics, who are in Group D with AC Milan’s Benfica.
The last team to be drawn was Sporting Lisbon, who were placed in Group F, in the same group as Manchester United’s Roma.
There is nothing worth paying attention to in the fourth division. Everyone can accept who is assigned to which group. Before grouping, UEFA had decided on the best striker award, and the winner was indeed Kaka.
Then, there was the drawing of lots for the fourth grade. This drawing was very quick, and the results would be out very soon.
Fenerbahce is the strongest team in the fourth division. This team from Turkey, their home ground is difficult to deal with, or a lot of people do not want to be drawn by them. It was Inter who drew Fenerbahce in the end.
Following is the result of the Champions League group draw for the 2007-2008 season:
Group A: Liverpool, Porto, Marseille and Betaxy
Group B: Chelsea, Valencia, Schalke 04 and Rosenberg
Group C: Real Madrid, Werder Bremen, Lazio and Olympiakos
Group D: AC Milan, Benfica, Celtic and Donetsk miners
Group E: Barcelona, Lyon, Stuttgart and Glasgow Rangers
Group F: Manchester United, Roma, Sporting Lisbon and Dynamo Kiev
Group G: Inter Milan, PSV Eindhoven, CSKM and Fenerbahce
Group H: Leeds United, Seville, Bucharest and Prague
After the drawing of lots, the ceremony is not over. Next up is the best player for the 2006-2007 Champions League.
Actually, there is no suspense about this award. The winner should be the defending champion AC Milan’s core midfielder Kaka. This year belongs to Kaka, and he is likely to win the 2007 World Player of the Year!
Sure enough, UEFA awarded the 2006-2007 Champions League Player of the Year award to Brazilian Kaka!
