Chapter 170 Good Sign!

The UEFA Champions League draw ceremony is also the award ceremony for the best of the UEFA Champions League last season.

This has nothing to do with Chang Sheng.

But it has something to do with the ever-victorious enemy.

Real Madrid finally won the Champions League last season, and that classic final was staged as scheduled, without any changes.

Although Real Madrid failed in the domestic league, their luck and strength in the Champions League are good.

In the final against Leverkusen, Raul scored a goal for Real Madrid and took the lead.

But then Lucio equalized for Leverkusen.

Then the game reached a stalemate.

In the end, Zidane, the superstar who spent more than 70 million euros to join the club last summer, showed his value at a critical moment and proved that Real Madrid's money was worth it!

He opened Leverkusen's goal with the best goal in the history of the European Champions Cup. The main core of the future of German football, Ballack stood behind Zidane when this goal happened, making a qualified background.

Relying on this goal, Real Madrid took the lead again.

At the last moment of the game, another hero was born.

Real Madrid's main goalkeeper Cesar was injured and Iker Casillas came on as a substitute. A series of excellent saves followed, keeping the goal clean and securing the title for Real Madrid.

Although Casillas made his debut a long time ago and won the Champions League with Real Madrid at the age of nineteen, many people think that it was his performance in the Champions League final that made Casillas completely secure in Real Madrid The main force of the wealthy,.

Before that, although Casillas had already played in the first team, he had many problems.

He was replaced by Cesar this season and became a substitute.

Unexpectedly, this Champions League final allowed him to seize the opportunity and become famous in one fell swoop.

Since then, Casillas has never left the position of Real Madrid's main goalkeeper...

So this time in the best selection of the Champions League, Real Madrid naturally became the biggest winner and won a number of best.

Chang Sheng watched them accept the award on stage.

All smiles.

What he thought in his heart was that this was Real Madrid's last Champions League trophy.

Since then, until his crossing, Real Madrid has never been able to win a Champions League. Their dream of ten Champions League titles is still far away...

It seems difficult to overtake Real Madrid. After all, Real Madrid already has nine titles. And I don't have any.

But he is a head coach, not a player. He is only 30 years old this year, and he still has 30 years to complete this task.

The award ceremony will be followed by the draw of lots.

Valencia were drawn into Group B. It is drawn into a group with Basel in Switzerland, Liverpool in the Premier League and Spartak Moscow in Russia.

It's a nice grouping for the Valencians.

Because they believe that neither Basel nor Spartak Moscow can threaten their qualifying situation, this group is basically Valusia and Liverpool competing for the first place in the group.

When he saw the result of the lottery, Pitage next to him showed a relaxed smile on his face.

Chang Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief, not meeting too strong opponents in the group stage. Being assigned to some kind of death group is really lucky.

Although Liverpool is not the Red Army without a championship for n years in the future, both sides have equal opportunities. Chang Sheng does not think that his team is weaker than Liverpool.

For the opponent Basel, Chang Sheng felt that he was here to fight for soy sauce, and he had absolute confidence in defeating the opponent.

It's just that Sparta in Moscow is a bit trickier.

Because the specific schedule is not yet known, if the away game against Spartak Moscow is in November, it will be difficult to say the outcome of this game.

Moscow has already entered winter in November. Bad weather.

If Valencia encounters it, Chang Sheng may only choose to give up to avoid injury. So he has to try his best to get the goal of qualifying before this game.

After the draw ceremony, only a few Spanish media, mainly local media in Valencia interviewed Chang Sheng.

Those before also flocked. The reporters who wanted to interview Chang Sheng's big media didn't show up. On the one hand, many coaches are the subject of interviews at this time, unless the popularity is particularly high. Otherwise, there is no phenomenon of flocking, a group of people interviewing one person. on the other hand. These reporters deliberately ignored Chang Sheng, because he was so awesome before, and the reporters couldn't get used to it. Interview after the lottery is over? Hey, we haven't interviewed you yet!

Chang Sheng didn't care about the attitude of these reporters towards him, he knew that sooner or later these people would kneel down and beg him to be interviewed. Because as long as he can win, the initiative will always be on his side.

Losers need others to defend themselves, and winners always only need to enjoy others' pursuit of him.

Facing local reporters in Valencia, he seemed relaxed.

"We got a good draw," he said.

Torla laughed: "Aren't you afraid that this remark will cause criticism again?"

Chang Sheng shrugged: "I'm telling the truth, I have confidence in my team. If we can't make it through such a grouping, we have to frown cautiously to show that the opponent is very strong. If we qualify, it depends on luck... I thought, let's not play in the Champions League at all."

Despite Chang Sheng's temper, local media reporters in Valencia already know very well. But in the past, he just felt like he was in the Spanish nest, but now in the Champions League, he even uttered wild words.

It still makes many Valencia and Spanish media feel a lot of pressure...

The local media reporters in Valencia were worried about Chang Sheng's actions. The pressure of being an enemy of the whole of Spain and the whole of Europe is completely different.

The non-Valencia local reporters sneered in their hearts - they are used to being arrogant in Spain, but they will make you suffer when you are on the stage of the Champions League! Do you think the Champions League is the same as the UEFA Cup? Stop dreaming!

The next day, what Chang Sheng said in an interview appeared in the media, and it was not a local media of Valencia's level, but the Spanish national media-"Marca".

As the "Marca" newspaper that enjoys a high reputation and authority in European sports, their influence in European football is very high.

It was reported in such a high-profile way by them, and it was also related to the Champions League. Naturally, eyes from Europe began to pay attention to Changsheng.

This is naturally the result of the media's fueling.

In fact, the idea of ​​the "Marca" newspaper is that Spain can no longer tolerate Changsheng. If he continues to toss, there will be no new highlights and gimmicks. They reap the benefits of the fisherman.

It is also a great enjoyment to watch Chang Sheng chat with the European media and other teams in Europe every day.

Sure enough, they quickly responded to Chang Sheng's remarks.

The first to speak was the head coach of Basel, Switzerland, Christian Jorgen Gross. He was very dissatisfied with Chang Sheng's remarks: "If Valencia thinks that they have drawn a good lottery and qualifying is not a problem, then it is true. Great, we like playing against a proud opponent!"

Gross has coached Basel since 1999 and is now in his third season in charge.

Chang Sheng doesn't know this person well, but in fact Gross is a famous coach in Switzerland and has won many championships. However, before coaching Tottenham Hotspur, he was indeed not well-known in mainstream European football. After he coached Basel, he built Basel into a strong team.

His Basel was as tough and unyielding as his character.

So in the face of Chang Sheng's arrogance, Gross seemed very unhappy.

Spartak Moscow also had their response. The head coach of Spartak Moscow, Oleg Ivanovich Romantsev, responded to Chang Sheng's words: "La Liga champions? We are not afraid of any champions. Because we are the champions of Russia!"

The coach is also a legendary coach of Sparta Moscow. During his two time coaching Sparta Moscow, he brought back eight Russian top league championship trophies and three Russian National Cup championships for Sparta Moscow. He is currently the head coach with the second most coaches in the history of Spartak Moscow.

He has also served twice as the head coach of the Russian national team.

He is also a famous coach in Russia.

He knows his team very well, and this team listens to him very well.

This is not an easy opponent to deal with.

The last to speak was Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier.

As if the most powerful must be the last to come out, the last to speak is also the team that seems to be the strongest in this group except Valencia.

As the head coach of the Premier League giants Liverpool, Houllier also looks personable. Regarding Chang Sheng's words, he simply said: "I think as a head coach, you should respect your opponent first, otherwise you will not be able to lead by example."

His elegant demeanor is in stark contrast to Chang Sheng's image of a wealthy upstart.

The English media said that Chang Sheng should open his dog's eyes and take a good look. This time it is the demeanor of a successful coach!

He just won a league title and a Copa del Rey title in Valencia. Houllier is the famous European coach who led Liverpool to the five crowns in 2001!

In the 2000-2001 season, Liverpool led by Houllier won all the championships except the Premier League championship. These include the FA Cup, League Cup, Charity Shield, UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup. That was the "five crowns" era that Liverpool fans talked about.

With such brilliant results, Houllier did not say any big words like "we have drawn a good lottery".

In addition to Houllier, Gross is a famous Swiss coach and Romantsev is a famous Russian coach.

You are always better than a young man, what right do you have to be so arrogant and crazy in front of these three famous coaches?
