The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 956
956 The Unpromising Leeds United
After the drawing of lots, Cristiano Ronaldo went on stage again!
This time Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Champions League Player of the Year award for 2007-2008, which almost means that Cristiano Ronaldo will win the European Footballer of the Year and the World Footballer of the Year award for 2008.
Now Cristiano Ronaldo is the biggest hit!
Of course, after the Champions League group draw results came out, the major media have been reported.
Many media outlets began to understand the signing process and analyse the situation of the various groups.
The Times of England analyzed it this way:
“In Group A, Chelsea will be the favourite to qualify and they drew one. Although Roma’s strength is not bad, but in recent years they have been defeated against Manchester United, which means that they seem to have no way to the Premier League team, Roma is very difficult to threaten Chelsea. Not to mention Bordeaux and Crewe, whose goal should be to compete with Roma for second place in the group.
At the same time, Chelsea changed their World Cup trophy, Scolari. Judging from their current situation, Chelsea are doing very well. There are really no teams in Group A that can compare to Chelsea!
The situation in Group B is somewhat similar to that in Group A. Inter Milan should be the best candidate for first place in the group. Werder Bremen may be strong, but they are still far from Mourinho’s Inter. Panathinaikos and Arnold Sosisi are too weak in this group. The teams that should qualify are Inter Milan and Werder Bremen.
Barcelona’s situation in Group C was better than the first two. No matter if it was Athletics Lisbon, Basel or Donetsk, they could not threaten Barcelona. Barcelona was naturally the most popular candidate for first place in the group. The other three teams were not too different in strength, so they should fight for second place in the group!
Group D was the Leeds United team. The situation was very, very bad. Leeds United drew the lot and was called the Group of Death. Eindhoven, Marseille and Atletico Madrid are not weak. Recently, Leeds United often played warm-up matches with Eindhoven. Although Leeds won more and lost less, Eindhoven was really strong. Zhong Cheng knew very well that they were not easy to deal with.
Marseille are third in the French Ligue 1. Recently, their results are not bad. Atletico Madrid is fourth in the Spanish Ligue 1, but their strength is very strong, especially their attacking power. The combination of Diego Fran and Aguero will make it very difficult for Leeds United.
Therefore, the situation in this group was extremely complicated. Even Leeds United had a chance of being eliminated!
Manchester United in Group E should be safe. Villarreal and the Celtics should be competing for second place in the group. Albert won’t be able to affect this group at all. They might even lose all their group matches.
Group F is very lucky for Bayern Munich. They have escaped the fate of becoming the Absolute Death Group. The situation in this group is still very ideal. Bayern Munich should be first in the group, and then Lyon and Fiorentina will compete for second place in the group.
Group G Arsenal drew the lot, their group Porto, Fenerbahce is still some strength, but Arsenal should be able to deal with them. In the end, Dinamo Kiev’s away weather would affect them. Nothing else, so Arsenal should be able to make it out easily. Second place is in the three teams. All three teams have chances!
Group H, this is a very clear group, compared to Real Madrid and Juventus, St Petersburg Zenit and Borisol are far too weak, they do not have a chance. “Even Zenit St Petersburg don ‘t have much of a chance, and although they may be fantasizing about miracles, this group is really in the hands of Real Madrid and Juventus.”
Just like this, the major media were all the same, because this season’s Champions League draw, the hardest and most confusing group was Leeds United. The other groups were very clear, as long as nothing unexpected happened, then that was the result of their analysis.
Right now, everyone was discussing the group D of Leeds United!
The situation in this group was really confusing. Although Leeds United were very strong, Eindhoven, Marseille and Atletico Madrid were not weak. These teams were obviously capable of causing Leeds United a lot of trouble. Not many people were optimistic about Leeds United in such a death group, right?
The Leeds United fans were naturally very worried!
The draw was a lot for Leeds United, the worst lot ever.
After the draw, the media reporters interviewed Leeds United’s head coach Zhong Cheng.
Zhong Cheng said, “The result of the drawing of lots is really very uncomfortable. We are actually divided into such a bad group. This has a great impact on the way our Leeds United team pays. Their strength is not weak. This group is considered the most difficult group!”
“Of course, we are very confident that we will qualify for the group. Our opponents are very strong, but the teams we meet in the Premier League are stronger. We can beat them occasionally, Marseille, Eindhoven and Atletico Madrid, so naturally we can beat them as well,” Zhong said.
Zhong Cheng finally said: “This group is very difficult, but we will still break out of the encirclement, because we are Leeds United!”
The reporters nodded their heads in succession. They could feel Zhong Cheng’s confidence,
To be honest, although this was a super death squad, everyone was more optimistic about Leeds United. Leeds United’s strength was very strong, compared to the other three teams, Leeds United’s chances of qualifying were naturally much higher. However, Atletico Madrid and the others would definitely cause some trouble for Leeds United. If there were a few stuffs, Leeds United would still have a chance of capsizing the ship.
Of course, as media reporters, they naturally wanted to see the Leeds United sewer capsize, so that they could have a topic, make headlines, and get attention.
Media reporters are looking forward to Leeds United’s sewer capsize.
After that, media reporters also interviewed Leeds United’s new player Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just won last season’s Champions League Player of the Year award and was in high spirits.
Cristiano Ronaldo said: “The draw was not very lucky for us at Leeds United. However, we at Leeds United are very strong, after our target. Whoever our opponent is, we have to get out of the team. So we can accept this group, but we have to be a little more difficult and troublesome. ”
Cristiano Ronaldo paused for a moment before continuing, “Of course, there may be accidents, but we at Leeds United will keep them to a minimum. I am very confident in our team.”
Cristiano Ronaldo’s words caused journalists to nod slightly.
Cristiano Ronaldo continued: “Of course, Atletico Madrid should be the one who has the most influence on our Leeds United team because they are very strong. Their attacking combination is very powerful. Diego Fran and Aguero are two people that can’t be underestimated. We have to pay close attention to them.”
Cristiano Ronaldo added: “I have full confidence in Leeds United. We will go further in the Champions League this season and there is no way this group stage will stop us!”
Cristiano Ronaldo’s words were so domineering that the media could tell. Although the Leeds United were assigned to the worst group, they were confident in themselves.
Perhaps, this group really had no way to stop them from advancing.
Of course, many celebrities and renowned commentators had analyzed that although Leeds United’s team was extremely difficult, their chances of qualifying were still at the top, because they were indeed strong enough.
Of course, they also believe that this is not an unexpected opportunity, because Leeds United’s opponents are also very strong, especially Atletico Madrid, of course Eindhoven can not ignore.
Therefore, this group was the one that was most confused.
It’s not surprising that any two teams in the group are likely to make it.
Now the media are talking about the Champions League and even fighting is eager to see the start of this season’s Champions League.
The group game that fans want to see the most now is the Leeds United group game because the group is in suspense and no one knows what the end result will be? Such a suspenseful competition was naturally very attractive.
However, at this time, Leeds United fans believed that this group was not difficult for Leeds United, and Leeds United would definitely qualify in this group.
Yes, Atletico Madrid, PSV Eindhoven and Marseille are all strong, but Leeds United are stronger!
Of course, Leeds United fans also believe that their luck will not continue to be this bad. By the next round of the draw, their Leeds United team will definitely draw good lots, not teams like Bayern Munich or Juventus.
The Leeds United fans were full of confidence in the Leeds United game.
Just after the group split, major European bookmakers are also offering odds against the favourites to win the Champions League this season. Among them, Bwin and William Hill are the two most concerned companies, which are well-known bookmakers.
Chelsea and Manchester United are naturally the favourites, followed by Real Madrid.
Bwin is better off with real madrid, which they believe should be at the top of the table, followed by chelsea and manchester united. Wilshere, on the other hand, believes Chelsea are top of the table, followed by defending champions Manchester United and Real Madrid.
As for Leeds United’s chances of winning the championship, they were directly ranked 11th. Obviously, this damned death team had a great impact.
Seeing the odds, Zhong Cheng felt that he should buy some Leeds United to win the championship.
