Chapter 553 UEFA Champions League Draw

UEFASuperCup is an event held by UEFA at the beginning of each season. The event was originally initiated by Anton Wittkamp, a reporter from The Dutch Telegraph. The first match was the winner of the Champions League in 1972, Ajax and the winner. The cup winner was played between Glasgow Rangers, and Ajax won the championship 3:2.

In 2000, due to the cancellation of the European Cup Winners' Cup, the winner of the UEFA Cup competed for the championship. Before 1998, it was a home and away two-round game. Since 1998, the competition has been held in a single round at the Louis II Stadium in Monaco to determine the final champion.

As the opening match of the new season's European club competition, the UEFA Super Cup gives the winners of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League Cup a chance to compete. So in fact, the European Super Cup is a match between the last Champions League champion and the League Cup champion, called the Super Cup. To determine who was the best last season. In fact, it is a chicken rib game. The Champions League champion, who is obviously much stronger, does not win the Super Cup many times, because it is not as important as the latter.

UEFA is also worried that this game will become a chicken rib, so the day before the European Super Cup final, the Champions League and the UEFA Cup draw ceremony was also held at the same time, and various awards in European football will also be awarded at this draw ceremony. These three activities have been carried out one after another, which has also attracted widespread attention to the European Super Cup. .

Inter Milan began to prepare for the European Super Cup after playing the Italian Super Cup. Neither they nor Bayern have won the European Super Cup. Although it is impossible for the two giants to attach as much importance to the Super Cup as they attach importance to the Champions League and the league, they have never won this trophy. As a giant, this is after all. It's a pity that neither team wants to give it up.

During the preparation for the Super Cup, Inter Milan and Alkmaar completed another deal in the transfer market. Last season's semi-main Darma was loaned to Alkmaar. Although the French are reluctant to rent this time, the competition he encountered in Inter Milan is more cruel than last season. One season can It's hard to say whether it's enough to play a few games, and Alkmaar guarantees his main position and intends to shape him as the core. Last season's champion Alkma can also participate in the Champions League, which is Dalmar's favorite, so in the end, Dalmar agreed to the loan contract, but some media revealed that he really dominated the lease. It was also borrowed by Jiang Mu, the head coach of Inter Milan. Without his help, Alkmaar could not get Dalma.

In addition to renting Darma, before the start of the European Super Cup, Inter Milan also completed contract renewal negotiations with Jiang Mu. Jiang Mu extended the contract for another two years. He will coach at Inter Milan for four seasons, and his annual salary has also risen to 8 million euros, the world's first annual salary, but the price is not small. Jiang Mu gave up to him. Half of the portrait right, now Jiang Mu's reputation is rising, and it is no less than that of ordinary superstars. Especially in the Asian market, Jiang Mu's appeal is even more amazing. Inter Milan actually takes advantage of such a sky-high annual salary, but Jiang Mu and Feng Ke do not have the ability to independently develop the value of "Jiang Mu" as a golden signboard. Experience can only cooperate with Inter Milan.

Jiang Mu's renewal of the contract made all the Neira Zuri people relieved. It can be said that even if he signed all the superstars in the world, if Jiang Mu does not renew the contract, Inter Milan will not guarantee that there will be a bright future. As long as Jiang Mu renews the contract, Inter Milan will create all miracles. Maybe.

However, for other clubs, this is a nightmare. At the hottest and most intense time in the European transfer market, Jiang Mu did not lack pursuers, including many big names such as Juventus, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona and so on. Not to mention Lazio and Chelsea, although some small clubs are against Jiang Mu It's also coveted, but now Jiang Mu is completely different from a year ago. When the loser Alkmaer coached, the loser team could expect Jiang Mu to suddenly go to coach their team, but now Jiang Mu has become a goddess level. They can only care about **, and there is no one at all. The possibility of Qin Fangze, those who can invite Jiang Mu must be rich families.

"Torino Sport" said in frustration, "Jiang Mu will coach at Inter Milan for four years, which is not good news for other teams. Think about Alkmaar and understand what the future will be like. If they don't fight against Inter Milan together, maybe they won't be left with one of the championships."

Roma Sport also said: "Jiang Mu will renew his contract for two years and will coach Inter Milan for four seasons. Perhaps under Jiang Mu's leadership, Inter Milan will regain the glory of the great international era. Now it seems that there are not many teams that can stop him. Juventus and AC Milan need to run in after the exchange of blood. Rome did not last season. It is impossible to compete with Inter Milan and Lazio. The league champion is likely to be Inter Milan. Whether they can reproduce the great international era depends on their performance in Europe.

After the renewal of the contract, Inter Milan's military was stable and morale was high. The players said that they wanted to break history and beat Bayern to win the European Super Cup. Jiang Mu also said easily, "We haven't pocketed this trophy yet, but it will definitely change in a week," but Jiang Mu also stressed that Fearing that the tiger Effinger is injured and unable to participate in the war, Bayern Munich will not become a sick cat. They are still very terrible. Inter Milan must play 12 points to win the championship.

On Thursday morning, Jiang Mu and Moratti led the team to leave Milan and go to Morocco. In the evening, they will participate in the Champions League and League Cup draw ceremonies, in which they will also receive the football awards to be awarded last season.

At Nice Airport in France, Inter Milan led by Jiang Mu happened to meet Bayern Munich led by Heathfeld. The arrival of the two teams at the same time excited the fans and reporters who picked up the plane on the spot. Some fans are fans of the two teams, and fans of a star in the two teams. They are each other The visit made the airport very chaotic.

The managers of Nice Airport, who had already done security work, saw that the scene might get out of control, and quickly transferred hundreds of police officers to control the situation and safely sent the players of the two teams out of the airport.

Inter Milan has booked a hotel near Morocco in advance. After entering, Jiang Mu gave the players a three-hour vacation to have a good time in this country with only 400 football fields, and then come back to train under the leadership of assistant coach Barrera, and he will be with Moratti and Ogliari. Vieri participated in the lottery award ceremony in the evening.

After the interview in the afternoon, Jiang Mu just wanted to take a break when he suddenly received a strange phone call from China. After Jiang Mu got through, it turned out to be Chen Manrou.

"Hey, Chen Manrou, hello, what can I do for you?" Jiang Mu lay in ** and asked leisurely.

"Have you forgotten our agreement? I have found a bodyguard for you, including me, there are four people in total. I want to ask you, when will we start work? Chen Manrou asked.

Jiang Mu just remembered this. Although the club has equipped a bodyguard for him now, it is not his own person. It is definitely not convenient to use it. Jiang Mu thought for a moment and said, "I'm in France now, but you can fly to Italy. You can go to Feng Ke, the manager of the Red Star Football Promotion Company, and ask her to help you. Stay where you live, get familiar with the environment, and talk to you about other things when I go back after the game.

Chen Man Judo: "Okay, let's clean up and go to Italy tomorrow."

"Well, okay, I'll arrange it."

Jiang Mu hung up the phone, dialed Feng Ke's number, and told her that there were four bodyguards in China and asked her to help arrange it. Feng Ke was a little ashamed to hear that this should have been her work. She didn't expect Jiang Mu to do it herself. She immediately said that she didn't have to worry about Jiang Mu about the reception here. She would definitely do it. It is to reassure Jiang Mu to play in Morocco.

Jiang Mu took a nap for more than an hour, and Moratti came to call the door. The two of them would have a cup of coffee in the hotel with Vieri, eat some snacks, and then go to Monte Carlo to participate in the lottery and award ceremony.

At this draw and award ceremony, the list of the six best candidates in Europe last season will be selected. As the winner of last season's UEFA Champions Cup, Bayern Munich is naturally the most selected club. Jiang Mu will compete with Bayern's head coach Heathfield and Liverpool's head coach Holel for the best coach. For the award, Vieri competed for the best striker of last season, against Elber of Bayern and Raul of Real Madrid.

The best award last season was not the focus. Bayern, who won the Champions League, is naturally the biggest winner. Except for the best scorer who was snatched by Raul and the best coach fell into Jiang Mu's hands, the other four awards: the best goalkeeper, the best midfielder, the best defender and the best player were all won by Bayern, but Kahn and Ai Finnberg and Lizarazu's performance is absolutely worthy of the title of the best. It is reasonable that the top scorer and best coach were taken away by Jiang Mu and Raul. Jiang Mu completed a super reversal when he was 14 points behind the top of the list, leading Inter Milan to win the league championship and the UEFA Cup. Although Heathfield performed well, he could not compare with such a miracle, and Raul was the best in the Champions League. The striker, although Real Madrid did not win the championship, it can't erase Raul's personal ability. Europe's best deserves it.

Although the best selection last season was not the highlight, for the coaches who appeared at the ceremony, the next draw ceremony of the Champions League and the UEFA Cup made them worried. The Champions League is the most important event in Europe. Now its influence and gold absorption have completely surpassed the major leagues. Every club attaches the most importance to the event. It can't be said that there is everything to participate in the Champions League, but you can't even buy a better player if you can't participate in the Champions League. The importance of the Champions League can be imagined.
