Chapter 190 Results of the Lottery

"David, here is an invitation letter inviting Notts County to send someone to attend the Shanghai International Football Forum on the 15th of next month. This is sent to us by our jersey sponsor Nike, who has cooperated with the organizer. relationship, I think it's a good pitch for Notts County."

While David was thinking about it, Soriano suddenly appeared in David's office.

"I know you've always been afraid of trouble, and you'd never go on such occasions, so I'll go!"

Soriano said in a tone of "I have seen through you already".

Shanghai?

Mid next month?

When David heard these two words, he shuddered violently.

He grabbed the invitation letter from Soriano's hand, and his eyes were about to stick to it, for fear that one word was not carefully read.

"I think that such an important thing should still be done by my chairman!"

David excitedly held the invitation letter and said quickly: "Don't you still have a lot of things to do about building the stadium, and it's almost Christmas, I should give the hard-working people a big vacation and let you go back to Spain. Have a good Christmas with your family, so I'll go to this forum!"

Soriano looked at David with a surprised expression, as if looking at the sun rising from the west.

"That's not your character. How could you rush to such a troublesome thing? Are you sick and haven't taken your medicine today?"

David's face was instantly covered with black lines.

Is your impression that bad?

"This, I think I am a competent chairman. Although sometimes I am a little lazy, when did I fall off the chain on important things?" David said angrily.

"Okay, you are competent. Since you are willing to go, you can go. It just so happens that I am also enjoying my leisure time, but such a good opportunity to promote Notts County, don't screw it up!" Soriano He sighed and warned carefully.

However, before Soriano went out, he seemed to be muttering to himself: "The place in China is like a football desert, so it makes sense to have a football forum there!"

David can only pretend not to hear, after all, he has nothing to do with China on the surface.

But in the heart,

It is extremely painful, this is the eternal pain of a Chinese fan.

Okay, getting a little too far, David scratched his head and smirked at the invitation.

This invitation is really timely. Jun Zhixian is shooting an advertisement in Shanghai, and the two of them are not familiar enough to visit the class, but now that there is an excuse for the forum, it is completely different.

You can call this a coincidence, so that asking her out won't be abrupt.

Well, very good!

As for what the forum is for, David doesn't care!

In the next few days, David was so refreshed that the players thought that Mr. Chairman was going to give out bonuses again!

The results of the UEFA Cup draw have been announced, and Notts County's top 32 opponent is La Liga team Celta.

Everyone wants to draw a lottery to draw an underdog, so that the chance of promotion will be greatly increased. Perhaps Notts County is such an underdog in the eyes of many teams.

However, Celta was a different story, and in the years at the turn of the century, Celta was an extremely stable second group in La Liga.

For several consecutive seasons, it has not fallen out of the top six in the La Liga standings. When La Liga was dominant in Europe, it was possible to achieve such results, one can imagine the strength of Celta.

It seems that now, the media have regarded Celta as the biggest favorite in the UEFA Cup except Liverpool.

It is not accidental that Celta is generally favored by people. If you look at the players who have played for the team in recent seasons, you can know what a famous player is.

For example, Mazinho, Salgado, Makelele, Penev, Juan Sanchez, Dutrul, Celades, McCarthy, Lucin, etc. Although these people have not played for too long, they Effectively enrich the team's lineup.

Let’s take a look at more stable main players, such as Argentina’s national goalkeeper Cavalero, Spain’s edge international defenders Juan Forlan and Velasco, Brazilian fullback Sylvinho, and Russia + Brazil’s midfield combination Moss. Tovoy, Karpin and Edu, Catania, Argentina international winger Gustavo Lopez and others are quite powerful.

Catania was naturalized to the Spanish national team and played during Camacho's coaching period;

Although Edu does not have the resume of Arsenal's Edu who played the Copa America as the main force, he has also been selected for the national team and performed well in the 2000 Olympic Games;

Cavalero and Gustavo Lopez both have a place in Bielsa's national team, participating in the 2002 World Cup.

At this time, the four giants in La Liga are playing Celta, and it can be said that there is no certainty of victory.

Then look at Celta's strong performance in European competitions in recent seasons. The 98-99 UEFA Cup double-played Liverpool, the 99-00 UEFA Cup swept Benfica 7-0, and the 4-0 victory over Juventus. I am afraid it is a giant ball. The team may not be able to achieve this level.

After Celta was drawn, the media in England have begun to observe a moment of silence for Notts County.

In their opinion, even if Liverpool meet Celta, they have not dared to say that they will win. Now that Notts County is playing against such a strong team, it seems that the result is doomed before the game starts.

This is your Notts County unlucky, no one's to blame!

In the UEFA Cup top 32, there are really a few little-known teams, such as Liberec, Krakow, etc. Wouldn't it be great if you run into such a team!

Did not see that after Notts County was drawn, has the La Liga media helped Celta celebrate their promotion to the UEFA Cup round of 16 in advance!

In this season's UEFA Champions League, La Liga teams are extremely strong. All 4 teams have advanced to the second round of the group stage, which is the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League. This is something that no other league can do.

Many Spanish media are optimistic that the Champions League this season will come from the four La Liga teams.

The near-dominant performance in the Champions League, then in the UEFA Cup, if the La Liga team can also perform strongly, then who else is qualified to compete for the title of the first league in La Liga?

Therefore, Celta, Betis and Malaga three clubs that have advanced to the top 32 of the UEFA Cup are highly anticipated.

Among them, Celta is undoubtedly the most promising team.

Now, the lottery has drawn the top lottery again. This is simply the rhythm that is destined to be a champion.

Although Notts County eliminated the Celtics, a giant of the Suzhou Super League, however, in the eyes of the five major league teams, the Suzhou Super League? What the hell is that?

What is there to show off to beat the Suzhou Super League team! (To be continued.)
