Although Zhuang Mingge was quite dissatisfied with the results of the grouping, he was even more gritting his teeth with Platini, who was the mastermind behind the ceremony. But the truth was done. No matter how much dissatisfied Zhuang Mingge was, he could only swallow it in his stomach, accept the result in front of him, and quietly wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

You dare to be so dark in Fiorentina before you become the president of UEFA. When you take over UEFA in ten years, can Florence still have a way out?

No, for the sake of Florence, we must find an opportunity to kill this guy!

Some people may ask, why did Zhuang Mingge know that Platini made the idea himself, rather than what others instructed him to do it?

Well, simply put, "Money can make the devil push the mill", the old saying is not only applicable to the Heavenly Kingdom, but also to Europe.

Platini would never have thought that before he could attack the throne of UEFA president, a pair of eyes had already stared at him, silently recording his every move, looking for an opportunity to pull him off.

On the second day after the lottery ceremony, major European sports media introduced the grouping of this Champions League in detail, especially the defending champion Fiorentina was assigned to the death group with Real Madrid, Leverkusen and Liverpool, which made these editors and reporters excited: the strong teams of the four major leagues launched a fierce confrontation in the group stage, which is too powerful!

Therefore, the headlines of major European sports newspapers on the next day were almost all about the analysis of the qualifying situation in Florence:

"Fiorentina is deeply trapped in the death group, and the defending champion may miss the semi-finals of the Champions League!"

This title represents the general view of most media on Fiorentina's path to defending the Champions League this season, and Zhuang Mingge has to admit that although these media have some title parties, their words still make sense.

From any aspect, Fiorentina's biggest opponent in this group is La Liga champion Real Madrid. These two teams formed a feud in the 1995-96 season: First, Real Madrid central defender Sanchis used a foul to drop Batistuta in the fourth group stage, and then Vieri used his opponent's foul action to knock Sanchis out in a physical confrontation. These two conflicts made the relationship between the two teams less harmonious. Later, Fiorentina deliberately let the Glasgow Rangers out in the last round, which directly led to Real Madrid, as the La Liga champion, being eliminated in the group stage!

Therefore, the two teams reunited in the group stage this time. Many media believed that Real Madrid and Fiorentina, which had old grudges, would definitely contribute two exciting and exciting games to the fans.

Of course, as the chairman of Florence, Zhuang Mingge hopes to see not evenly confrontation, but one-sided massacre.

Although Liverpool in the Premier League declined after the Heisel tragedy and has not been able to reappear the glory of the "Red Army" in more than ten years, they are still the number one giant in England! The honors of four European Champions League trophys and 18 top league championships are enough to shock many teams. The "Little Tigers" composed of McManaman, Robbie Fowler, and Redknapp in the first team are famous in the UK. Paul Ince, Michael Irving and other stars are also first-class. There are also new stars Gerrard and Carragher on the bench. Therefore, although Liverpool's overall strength is not as good as Fiorentina, if the players are not serious, it is inevitable that the gutter will capsize.

As for Leverkusen, who won the Bundesliga runner-up last season, although this German team is not famous, since it has the ability to win a league silver medal against Dortmund, it is enough to prove that this team is not a weak team. What's more, Zhuang Mingge also knows that from this season, Leverkusen officially replaced Dortmund and became Bayern Munich's biggest opponent in Germany.

Florence cannot be taken lightly by the team that can compete with Bayern during this period.

Overall, the group where Florence is located can be said to be in crisis, and if you are not careful, you may get a very tragic ending.

At the same time, a small number of media have raised questions about the death group in newspapers, believing that this is a group deliberately created by UEFA to attract people's attention, and also to curb Fiorentina's momentum and avoid the signs of dominance in the Champions League.

Regarding the various doubts raised by the media, Michelle Platini, who was responsible for the guest of this lottery, said in an interview with the media that the lottery is completely open and fair and there is no problem of undercover operations.

At the same time, Platini also said that the reason why the death group appeared was entirely because after the expansion of the Champions League, the quality and number of participating teams were greatly improved, so teams from the four major leagues were assigned to a group.

As for how many people would choose to believe Platini's speech? The French said, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway...

However, various media obviously will not be confused about this topic, because they have another topic worth paying attention to now, that is, the upcoming European Super Cup competition to be held tonight.

Since the match against both sides replaced AC Milan as the new generation of European football overlords, Florence and La Liga giants Barcelona, ​​the game attracted a lot of attention from fans, and more than 18,000 tickets were sold out the week before the game began.

For this reason, many people who have not received tickets complained about UEFA, why did they have to choose to hold the European Super Cup in this stadium with a capacity of less than 20,000 people. Wouldn't it be better to replace it with those with larger capacity? It not only takes care of the emotions of the fans, but also increases the organizer's income. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Old man Johnson is not blind either. Of course, he has also noticed the growing demand for the European Super Cup by fans, but he has no good way to solve this problem.

Well, who made Johnson sign a fifteen-year contract with the Monacos when he reformed the European Super Cup system to prevent the failure of reforms from happening, and when he was in a hurry, Johnson found that more and more fans were paying attention to the European Super Cup, but Louis II did not have the ability to accommodate these people, the entire UEFA was beating his chest and stamping his feet for the lost dollar.

The Monaco government made a lot of money due to the large amount of abortions brought by the European Super Cup, which made UEFA jealous.
