"Tony, which teams do you think Florence will be assigned to the same group?" Karin, who flew to Monaco with the team, sat on Zhuang Mingge's right hand, and Groz on the left was Little Groz. Two flowers sandwiched Zhuang Mingge in the middle. This gorgeous scene attracted the attention of many people present.

"Uh, this..." Zhuang Mingge scratched his nose and looked at the paper on his hand with the names of sixteen Champions League teams written on it.

The current European Champions League only allows league champions and defending champions from various countries to participate in the competition. It is not as distributed as in later generations based on the total European points of each national league. Therefore, it is impossible for the giants of the four major leagues to form a group in the European Champions League.

The grouping method is not like later generations, based on the European points of each team in the last five seasons and then draw lots. Instead, a series of qualifiers were held in August, and the final decision was made to divide the eight teams into four groups with the eight pre-determined seed teams.

Although the Boseman bill has appeared, only one and a half months are obviously not enough to change too much. Although the gap between the rich and the poor has appeared, it is not obvious. This can be seen from the process of this Champions League qualifier. Gothenburg, the Swedish league overlord who reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season, was eliminated by Legia from Poland in the qualifiers, which is enough to show that the influence of the Boseman bill, which has a short service life, has not completely changed the football pattern in Europe.

Thanks to Florence's fortune in Serie A, in order to ensure the ratings and the attention of fans, the champions of the four major leagues will definitely be selected for the seed teams. This has enabled Zi Lily to successfully avoid the Champions League qualifiers and become one of the eight seed teams. Otherwise, if the gutters capsize in the qualifiers, Florence will probably become a laughing stock in European football for a long time.

However, this also increases the difficulty for Zhuang Mingge to speculate that Fiorentina will encounter opponents in the group stage. After all, there is no such thing as teams in the same league to avoid it - because there is no club from the same league at all.

"This, I don't know. Lottery draw depends on luck." Zhuang Mingge shrugged and had to tell the truth, "I hope Florence will not be assigned to a group with too strong strength."

After a brief opening remark, as a special guest of this lottery ceremony, Platini walked to the stage with a smile on his face. Two transparent boxes were placed on the table, containing 8 notes of the names of the seed teams that participated in the European Champions League group stage this season with the names of the seed teams and 8 pieces of the teams who entered the main game after experiencing layers of knockout matches.

"Thank you very much for having this opportunity to attend the Champions League group draw ceremony as a special guest. Here I sincerely hope that after the lottery results come out, everyone will not be because everything is God's will." When Platini said this, he pretended to be helpless and spread his hands, which caused laughter from the audience.

Tell, it would be a hell of UEFA's moves in the draw. After hearing Platini's opening remarks, Zhuang Mingge curled his lips disdainfully, and look at the scene of the Blues facing Barcelona and Liverpool almost every year after Abramovich took over Chelsea. If you have no tricks in this, you won't believe it.

Of course, the reason why this situation occurs is that in order to create enough gimmicks and attract the attention of fans, the peak showdown between Barcelona and Chelsea is always more than Porto's match against Monaco, right?

Secondly, there is another reason why Chelsea encountered so many strong teams in the Champions League, that it inevitably violated the interests of too many people in its rise, such as raising the transfer value of players, disrupting the order of the transfer market, etc. In order to appease the giant teams that are dissatisfied with Chelsea, UEFA naturally needs to make things difficult for such gold and dollar teams on the schedule.

However, Fiorentina does not seem to have any intersection with the teams present in recent years. After all, before Zhuang Mingge took over Fiorentina, Purple Lily's record could only be regarded as the mid-level level of the league. UEFA seems to have no gimmicks to create. Moreover, Fiorentina did not obtain players by maliciously raising prices when creating its current lineup, so it should not be beaten by those officials of UEFA...

At this time, Platini, who was walking on the stage, stretched out his hand and pulled out two notes from the transparent carton containing the 8 seed teams.

"The two seed teams selected into Group A are... Porto of Portugal and Monaco of France!" Platini announced with a smile.

Zhuang Mingge saw that Wenger, who was sitting in front of him, was relieved after hearing the lottery results announced by Platini. It seemed that he was very satisfied with his team being in the same group as Porto.

Before the Boseman era came, there was not much gap between the giants in Italy, Spain, England, Germany, France and the Netherlands. For example, the Netherlands' Ajax has won the League Cup and the Champions League in recent years. Ligue 1 teams have also performed well in European competitions. Therefore, among the eight seed teams, Porto from Portugal is relatively easy to deal with.

However, Fiorentina is not as lucky as Monaco. Platini drew La Liga champions Real Madrid and Fiorentina, and then threw the two teams, Scottish superstar Glasgow Rangers and Romania's Bucharest star, from another box, into Group C where Florence is located.

After the lottery results of Group C where Fiorentina is located, it means that the grouping ceremony has come to an end. The final grouping is as follows: Group A includes Greek champion Panasinaikos, French Ligue 1 champion Monaco, Portugal champion Porto and Denmark champion Aalborg; Group B includes Russian champion Sparta Moscow, Polish champion Legia, Norwegian champion Rosenberg and Premier League new champion Blackburn; Group C includes Serie A champion Fiorentina, La Liga champion Real Madrid, Romanian champion Bucharest Star and Scottish Premier League champion Glasgow Rangers; Group D includes last champion Ajax, Bundesliga champion Dortmund, Hungarian champion Ferenkvaros and Swiss champion Grasshoppers.

"UEFA is really keen on creating gimmicks!" After seeing the match situation in Group C, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but think in his heart that La Liga and Serie A teams have always been able to meet in European games in recent years. This kind of grudge is the place that attracts the attention of fans the most.
