Chapter 635: I am Destined to Real Madrid

After the game, the news of Manchester City's 3-0 away victory over Liverpool made the headlines throughout England.

Liverpool started with a two-game losing streak, and it was the beginning of the league with two zero-to-three defeats, and also as two consecutive losses after Rogers took over from Liverpool.

No one thought that Liverpool would look weaker than last season after the coaching change.

Two consecutive failures put Rogers and his Liverpool on the cusp, and even a betting company has begun to open Rogers's handicap.

Less than two months after taking over Liverpool, Rogers faced a crisis of dismissal.

This is the cruelty of competition. To lose is to lose, to win is to win. Winner and loser.

The media listed Rogers’ various mistakes. They raised various questions about Rogers’ formations, tactical choices, substitutions, and even the appearance on the scene. In such an environment of public opinion, Rogers Even if he was fired by Liverpool, no one would be surprised.

Gao Bo felt very sympathetic to Rogers, because the team he took over was originally a team with various problems. Although the two-game losing streak was due to bad luck, it actually had nothing to do with Rogers—— Last season, Dalglish couldn't handle Liverpool's lineup.

And Gao Bo also knows that Rogers will be the pinnacle of Liverpool coaching next season, and he will find a way to hold Liverpool together. But now history has changed a lot, and Gao Bo doesn’t know whether Rogers’ life will be hard enough for next season...

......

After this round of the league, Gao Bo and Manchester City CEO Ferran Soriano went to Monaco together.

At 17:00 local time on August 30th, this season's UEFA Champions League group stage draw will be held at the Grimaldi Conference Center in Monaco.

Which team Manchester City will encounter in the Champions League group stage this season will be revealed after the draw.

However, before the lottery ceremony, the award ceremony for the best player in Europe (2011-2012) must be carried out.

This award was formally established last year, with the intention of restoring the old European Footballer of the Year Award (Ballond'Or), and competing with the FIFA Golden Globe. After the first round of voting by journalists from 53 European countries, Griezmann, Iniesta and Messi ranked in the top three votes, and the winner of the best European player this time will also be selected among them. .

Griezmann was undoubtedly selected as the top three based on his performance at Atletico Madrid last season, and Iniesta was selected because Spain won the European Championship in this summer’s European Cup. As Spain’s core player, Inies The tower is well deserved to be in the top three.

The election of Messi is somewhat controversial. Many media, especially French media, believe that Messi was elected on the basis of "impression points". Although he was the La Liga Golden Boot last season, Barcelona had only one last season. The Copa del Rey can only be handed out. In terms of honor, Messi cannot compare with the other two players.

The reason why the French media is so enthusiastic about this award is naturally because Griezmann is likely to be elected.

Iniesta is his most important opponent. Speaking of which, the weight of the Champions League and the European Cup may be different in the eyes of different people, but in general, the European Cup is held every four years. Big competition, and the Champions League is held every year, so many people think that the weight of the European Cup is bigger.

Therefore, when the award-presenting guest announced that the winner was Iniesta, Gao Bo also applauded in the audience.

If it is just to compare the club results, Griezmann is undoubtedly dominant, but there is a European Cup this year, and the French team where Griezmann belongs to was eliminated early. Therefore, in the honor of the national team, Griezmann has some Suffer.

The award to Iniesta did not cause any controversy, and the next highlight was the draw of the Champions League.

According to UEFA’s club points, the eight teams listed as seed teams this time are Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Porto, Chelsea, and Atletico Madrid.

Among them, Atletico Madrid was automatically included as a seed team as the Champions League champion last season. They squeezed out AC Milan, which ranked eighth in points. Although the Serie A giants ranked eighth in points, they wanted to make way for the defending champion. The second-tier team can only be wronged.

Of course, Manchester City's points are not enough for the team in the first tier, and they are also in the second tier.

The draw ceremony soon began. The guest who served as the first team's draw ceremony was Manchester United star Denis Law. His first draw was La Liga giants Real Madrid, and Real Madrid was placed in Group D.

And his second draw was Atletico Madrid. When Dennis Law opened the note, the live footage was very intimate and gave Atletico Madrid a shot. Atletico Madrid’s general manager Jill Marin and them The new head coach Simeone, then gave Manchester City a close-up shot of Gao Bo.

However, both sides are expressionless, which makes the media a little bit regretful.

The first gear was drawn quickly. When the second grade team was drawn, Manchester City was the first to be drawn. When Manchester City was about to be placed in that group, everyone was looking forward to it.

If Manchester City and Atletico Madrid were drawn into a group, it would be fun... However, everyone was disappointed by the fact that Manchester City was drawn to Group D.

They and Real Madrid drew a group.

Soon, the camera caught Real Madrid's reaction, and the corners of Ancelotti's mouth twitched slightly. This time, he could not escape the HD camera.

Gao Bo grinned slightly and seemed to want to smile, but soon he returned to his expressionless and serious appearance.

"Real Madrid and Manchester City are drawn together. Real Madrid will definitely think of Gao Bo's fear of being dominated in La Liga. Gao Bo has never lost to Real Madrid in La Liga. This time his team has become Manchester City, and Real Madrid also I don’t know if the revenge can succeed..."

"It's Real Madrid again... The team that Gao Bo has played the most in the past few seasons must have a place in Real Madrid. I guess he has faced Real Madrid so many times that he wants to vomit..."

"Look at the expressions of both sides, Gao Bo definitely wants to laugh now, because to some extent, Real Madrid is one of his favorite opponents, and Ancelotti's team may have a headache now how to deal with Manchester City. "

The commentators talked a lot.

The draw ceremony soon ended, and Manchester City's opponents in the Champions League came out soon.

They drew a group with Real Madrid, Ajax, and the Celtics.

This is a relatively normal group, Ajax and Celtics have certain strength, but their strength is not enough to pose a threat to Manchester City and Real Madrid.

People generally believe that Manchester City and Real Madrid will be the two teams that can qualify for this group. The key lies in whether these two teams can occupy the first place in the group!

In a media interview after the draw, a reporter asked Gao Bo how he felt about meeting Real Madrid again.

Gao Bo said with a smirk: "Maybe I have a destiny with Real Madrid..."
