Next, Cruyff, who was the guest of the lottery, drew a note from the glass jar, took a look, and then laughed.

“Real Mallorca, Group C.”

Arsenal! Schalke zero four!

Jose curled his lips. These guys are really uninnovative...

However, being assigned to this group also made Jose a little annoyed. As he said, whether it is a death group does not depend on which seed team is in the same group - the Champions League and the World Cup are different. The seed team in the Champions League must be the strongest team in Europe, and the World Cup may also be divided into a relatively weak host - only the third and fourth-level teams determine whether it is a death group. Schalke Zero Four's strength is undoubtedly. Last season, they almost forced Bayern to a dead end. In addition, Arsenal is about to reach its peak. For Mallorca, this grouping is really not good.

If the fourth-level team comes with another team like Fenerbahce and Celtics, the value of this group will be quite scary...

After the draws of the Champions League were all over, Bosque and Iruetta's expressions were not very good.

Real Madrid and Roma, the Serie A champion last season, were in a group, which also included Moscow Locomotive and Anderlecht, while La Coruña was in a group with Manchester United. The other opponents in the same group were Lille and Olympiacos, and Barcelona were even more unlucky. Barcelona, ​​Lyon, Leverkusen, and Fenerbahce, none of them were easy to deal with.

Compared with them, Mallorca and Arsenal, Schalke Zero Four and Greece's Panasinakos were in the same group, which was quite acceptable...

After the lottery ceremony, the reporters talked about the death group that the reporters talked about was concentrated in Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and the German media cheered and thought that all four teams had drawn a good draw, Bayern was the top draw, and Dortmund was in the same group as Liverpool, but Dynamo Kiev was no longer strong after losing the frontcourt double star, and Portugal's Boa Vista could not harm them. Leverkusen's draw was slightly worse, and he was also points to Barcelona and Fenerbahce.

In a group, as for Schalke Zero 4, their general manager Assauer was excited about the draw result and said, "The fans have been waiting for this opportunity for three years. Although Arsenal is a hot spot, Mallorca and Panasinacos are not stronger than us. We can strive to qualify for the second place." German Photo News also believes that Schalke Zero 4 has a 70% chance to qualify from this group, ranking second among the four Bundesliga teams, second only to Bayern, slightly higher than Dortmund and Leverkusen...

"I really think these guys will definitely eat us."

Jose looked at the newspaper in his hand and snorted.

*********************************************

The German media's optimism is naturally reasonable. Now they are in the third league, and this season is the league with the most participating teams in the European Champions League. They naturally hope to improve the league's rankings so as not to be snatched away by the current aggressive Premier League. Previously, the Bundesliga clubs were only supported by Bayern in the Champions League. Bayern had a runner-up, a semi-final and a champion for three consecutive years, but other teams were a bit unsatisfactory. The Germans naturally hope to see their league clubs perform better while the national team is sluggish.

However, for Jose, it was obvious that he was provoking and looking down on him, which made him think about giving Schalke Zero 4 a good look in the next Champions League...

Of course, before the start of the Champions League, the first thing to do is to be the first round of the La Liga, where Mallorca faces Las Palmas, who ranked 11th last season!

Mallorca fans are extremely enthusiastic about this game - for them, the Spanish Super Cup is just an appetizer, and the league is the feast they look forward to the most. As for the Champions League, it is the main dish in the feast...

In this game, Jose also wants to win. Whether he wants to take Las Palmas first or let Mallorca players reach their best before the start of the Champions League, he has to take the team to sacrifice his flag...

Las Palmas played well midway through the last season. They were once one of Mallorca's main opponents for the European arena. However, as Mallorca's performance got better and better, they also began to fall behind and could only rank 11 in the end. There is no need to think about European arena.

One of the characteristics of this team is that they perform unstable. If they perform well, they can beat La Coruna. If they perform poorly, they can beat Villarreal to 5-1. Their offensive ability cannot be said to be poor, but their defense also has big loopholes. Last season, they were always beaten by Valencia, 5-1 by Barcelona, ​​and 5-1 by Real Madrid... Even if they beat La Coruna, whom they defeated at home, they once lost a 0-4 away game. Often, they can perform very well when they play smoothly, but are constantly slaughtered by the opponent when they play poorly...

Jose still has experience in dealing with such a team, but his team is not very stable, especially on the defense line. Although Van Biden's strength is definitely stronger than Nino, he has not been very tacit in cooperation with other defenders. He obviously exposed such a problem against Real Madrid in the last away game. He often rashly pounced behind the opponent and was beaten by the opponent. Raul's two goals were scored like this. If Nadal had not made up for the timely replacing the position, he would have lost more.

But this is also a trouble for growth. For Mallorca, if they want to go to a higher level, they have to endure such mistakes and losses.

Fortunately, Mallorca's framework has basically been formed, and all it needs to be solved is just one or two problems, and it can be solved quickly. This is also a limit that Jose can tolerate. After all, even if he is a black store, he cannot sell his backbone. It will affect his performance for money, which is considered not worth the loss.

It is impossible for a team to not sell people. If the new players introduced perform well and their performance does not decline after selling people, then no matter how many people sell, they will not be considered unambitious. Instead, they will add more attractiveness to those players who are capable, confident but have not yet become famous. At least they will think this way - even if they are plastered with gold under Jose, they can develop faster.

A smart team and a team that can sell people as long as you have money are two different concepts.

Although it is difficult to do this, for most mid- and lower-level teams, what they dream of is reaching this level, but there are not many teams that can do this. But for Jose, he is completely confident that he can do this, and achieve a smart management team, and step by step to create a top team!

This kind of myth will naturally not fall from the sky, and can only be accumulated through one victory after another and one championship after another!

It is precisely because Jose has such ambition that how could he be blocked by a team like Las Palmas?

This is absolutely impossible!
