King’s Landing in Nottingham

Item 0581

In 2005, at 16:00 on August 25th, the UEFA Champions League group stage draw for the 2005-06 season came as scheduled. The General Manager of Notts County Club Marotta was seated in the fourth place in a suit and leather jacket. The seat on the left side of the row.

The Italians today wore a handmade suit with a red tie. I hope this festive color will bring some good luck to Notts County.

The handmade leather shoes staring at Marotta's feet were wiped and wiped in the hotel room for fear that some dust would affect the result of the lottery.

Giuseppe Marotta is not a superstitious person, but the results of the draw in Notts County in the intercontinental match seem to be not very good. Although Wei Xun did not come to participate in the draw ceremony in Monte Carlo, Monaco this time, Wei All of Hoon and the Notts County club are in the club’s fan hall, watching the live broadcast.

The power of Eastern metaphysics, the old horse has to guard against!

Numerous Notts County fans, as well as those who are concerned about the prospects of Notts County clubs, are bound to fix their eyes on the hands of the draw guests.

The old Grant sitting next to Wei Xun didn't know how many crosses he had painted in just a few minutes, making Wei Xun a little bit feudal and superstitious.

"Old grid, the lottery is not entirely based on luck. There must be shady in it. However, people are now publishing the list of teams participating in this Champions Cup and their European war points. You will wait for the lottery in a while. Isn't it okay to pray?"

"Of course it won't work. You have to draw this kind of thing as early as possible. It doesn't take a while for you to take medicine and it will work..."

Old Grant gave Wei Xun a blank look, holding the cross in his hand, and continued to pray quietly.

"Um, Brother Tai, shall we also find a Guanyin Bodhisattva to put the incense stick on it for rescue?"

Hearing this, Zhao Tai fell out of anger in an instant, and threw a burst of chestnut on Wei Xun's head:

"Are you looking for Guanyin Bodhisattva to ask for a child? It is said that you should hug the Buddha's feet temporarily, don't you have to go to worship Buddha? What is the use of looking for Guanyin Bodhisattva? Besides, this is the West. Can Bodhisattva and Buddha work well? , You go to church and beg **** and his parents..."

God, Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and the Holy Spirit, bless the Notts County Club...

Looking at the words announced on the big screen, Wei Xun felt that 80% of Notts County could not get a good lottery. What kind of lottery could be considered a good lottery?

I participated in the Champions League for the first time and accidentally fell into the fourth gear. But after all, Notts County is the Champion of the UEFA Cup and the Champion of the Premier League. There are still strengths. No one wants a team in the first or second gear. Encountered Notts County.

Hey, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Manchester United, Milan, Liverpool, Inter Milan, these are the eight top-seeded teams in this competition, which is the so-called first-tier team.

The teams in the second tier are Juventus, Ajax, Panathinaikos, Villarreal, PSV, Lyon, Chelsea, Porto, Juventus and Chelsea are the least. Willing to come across.

Before the draw, countless people made predictions. The first team randomly took out one, plus Juventus or Chelsea in the second gear, and made up Notts County in the fourth gear, regardless of the third gear. Whoever enters this group on the team is Chi Guoguo's death group.

In fact, in the third tier of teams, there are no shortage of strong teams such as Bremen and Schalke, but they are still not enough compared to the aforementioned teams.

Although Villarreal, Inter Milan, Bremen, Red Devils Manchester United and Ajax all broke through the qualifying rounds, no one underestimated their strength.

"Fuck, it's started, it's started..."

The draw began. Eight teams in the first grade have fallen off. In fact, the draw of the first grade team is the most meaningless, because each group will have a relatively strong team qualifying, and the European game ranked higher. The team is not a big belly.

Soon several teams in the second tier also fell into place, and a pattern of death group has been vaguely formed. Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Serie A class fighter Juventus are in the same group, both of which are Premier League teams. Liverpool and Chelsea were also drawn together.

"Watfaq?"

How can there be two teams from the same league in the Champions League group stage?

Wei Xun was also blinded, what's the situation?

He looked around and wanted to find someone who could help him answer this question. Unfortunately, both Palatic and Marotta went to Monaco to draw lots, on and off the court. These are the two most knowledgeable people.

Soon Wei Xun took out his mobile phone, and he tried to find the answer on the Internet. The Internet is really a magical place, which fully satisfied Wei Xun’s curiosity and helped him answer:

UEFA chairman Johansson is a diehard Liverpool fan, he opened a wild card for Liverpool, but Liverpool need to participate in a qualifying round to enter the Champions League main match.

However, it just so happened that Liverpool’s opponent in the qualifying round was the Welsh team that wanted to give Liverpool the Champions League qualification before, TNS...

The top four teams in the Premier League are Notts County, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal. Liverpool, as a special case, is not a representative of the English League. If it does not occupy the FA's participation quota, it will naturally not be able to enjoy the treatment of avoiding the same country.

Soon, several teams in the third tier were drawn out one by one by the guests, including Sparta Prague, Lille, Bremen, Schalke, Olympiacos, Anderlecht, and Rangers. Fall into their respective groups.

There were already some discordant voices in the venue. As a result of the draw, several players were happy and sad. Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Bruges were drawn together, and the faces of the general managers of the three clubs were all green.

The general managers of Manchester United, Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Barcelona have a smile on their faces. As long as Notts County is drawn into their group, they can qualify for the group stage this season with their eyes closed.

Well, I'm not targeting anyone, I just want to say that the group I belong to, except me, is rubbish...

Wei Xun is no longer so nervous. There are eight teams in total. As long as they don't draw Bayern Munich, Juventus, Liverpool and Chelsea, and fall into the other six teams, Notts County should be able to qualify.

"Twenty-five percent probability, Brother Tai, don't worry, this is just like doing multiple-choice questions, we are not so lucky..."

Before Wei Xun’s bad words were spoken, he saw a string of characters that Wei Xun wanted the most to see on the big screen. Notts County was actually drawn to the A group of Bayern Munich and Juventus...

"Watfaq!"

"WTF!"

"God, you should go and wear a pair of glasses!"

Talking about the darkness and the rushing of the sky can not describe Wei Xun's mood at this time. Are the people of UEFA still doing human affairs?

All the other seeded teams were sent to the death pit Bayern Munich, Juventus, Liverpool, Chelsea and Notts County. The result of this draw is the Premier League.

I thought that the five teams reached the Champions League, it was the time when they were scrambling for points in the European War, but they did not expect to encounter this blow. Chelsea and Liverpool were in the same group, and Notts County was thrown into the group of death.

It's over...

Officials of the Football Association began to curse people. It is said that the staff of the Football Association stayed up late that night to write a complaint report. When they were about to hand it in the next day, they were woken up by a call from UEFA.

Juventus vice chairman Bettega believes that his team is undoubtedly the most difficult death team in the history of the European Champions Cup.

"We have to score enough points in the club of Bruges. It will not be easy to beat Bayern Munich and Notts County. Last year we have to thank Buffon for some great saves and let us be in Bavaria. And retreat..."

"We want to win the UEFA Champions League. I dare say that most fans want to win this honor and hope that we can meet their requirements. This time the task is very difficult. As we saw last season, we committed a crime in a short period of time. The mistakes made are fatal..."

This is the two consecutive years that Bayern Munich and Juventus have been in the same group. Last season, Juventus defeated Bayern Munich by two one-to-zero and won the qualification ahead of time. However, Bayern Munich's strength has not increased this season. Less, Capello said he would not take it lightly:

"Bayern Munich and Notts County are very tough opponents. We can only do our best to strive for better results. This is a team full of death, but everyone does not want to participate in the UEFA Cup..."

Coincidentally, Milan drew to their opponent Eindhoven in the semi-finals of last season. Milan Vice President Galliani said:

"This is a very balanced group. Istanbul is our destiny. Eindhoven is the Dutch champion, but they have not changed much. To qualify, we must show a high level from the beginning..."

Milan coach Ancelotti also admitted that his team did not draw the best pick:

"The strength of the other teams in our group is relatively average, which may cause us some trouble. We are a very good team, we are ready to become Champions League leaders, our goal is to qualify as soon as possible. ..."
