The draw ceremony for the knockout match of this Champions League is still at the headquarters of UEFA, Nyon, Switzerland. This is a routine. There are quite a lot of strong teams in the Champions League knockout matches, and there are almost no strong teams drowned in the group stage, especially after Mallorca and Chelsea both emerged from the recognized death group...

The second strong teams qualifying in the group stage include Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Roma. Except for not meeting Chelsea, Mallorca may encounter other strong teams. After the rules have been changed, it will not be rare for them to meet Real Madrid in the quarterfinals.

Jose doesn't care much about this. He even wants to meet a strong team. The more strict he is against Mallorca on the schedule, the more UEFA feels sorry for Mallorca, and the greater the possibility of allowing Conch Stadium to be hosted...

Although UEFA has probably not much conscience, it has been difficult for Mallorca, and Mallorca rarely does things that will make them lose face... Well, occasionally there are times or twice, but overall, Mallorca still gives UEFA a lot of face.

Every time I encounter a group of death or a strong team all the way in the knockout stage, Jose never says anything like "This is UEFA deliberately making things difficult for us", but says "I'm very happy to meet these strong teams, and such a game is very satisfying"...

Mallorca can always contribute wonderful games when meeting those top teams, so UEFA's view of Mallorca is also love and hate - a club that has always insisted on playing offensive football is the best supplement to the image of the Champions League. Those wonderful games and games have increased the influence and attractiveness of the Champions League a lot - UEFA is also ambitious, and what they hope is that the influence of the Champions League can be compared with the World Cup. After all, although the European Cup is a little higher in value than the World Cup, it lacks top players from other continents, especially South America, and the Champions League is a grand event that brings together the world's top players!

It can also be seen every year!

The existence of Mallorca made UEFA very happy, but on the other hand, they were very troubled, because the team's performance was so good. UEFA was still very happy when they won the championship for the first time, because it proved the unpredictability of the UEFA Champions League. No one had thought that Mallorca would win the Champions League before. However, when they defended their title in one go, UEFA was a little stunned. After the Champions League was reorganized into the Champions League, no one had the record of defending the title, but was actually broken by such a team. In the third year, they even had the intention of completing three consecutive championships...

So in the 200405 season, UEFA made Mallorca very bad, and they finally stopped in the semi-finals. Jose didn't say anything after that game, but just said that we would come back next year - then they defeated Chelsea in the quarterfinals and won the Champions League again!

When Jose and Kaka entered the venue of the annual awards ceremony together, they immediately attracted the attention of many people. In any case, Jose won the Best Coach of the Year again a year later and had almost no opponents. Last year's Best Coach was won by Mourinho, and this year Jose eliminated Chelsea in February. The two confrontations with Mourinho in the group stage also gained the upper hand. It seems only a matter of time to win the Best Coach title.

Perhaps Lippi, who led the team to win the World Cup, can compete with him, but Jose has won five championships this year, and the number of championships is enough to blind everyone's eyes. The World Cup selection is more like the World Cup champions, but that is more like the players. In this regard, the coach still has to rely on the results of the whole year.

Kaka is also a strong contender for this World Footballer.

A head coach and a top star represent Mallorca's current status - first. In recent years, Mallorca has been well deserved to be the first. Although they cannot do the best in some details, overall, if they say they are the second, there is really no team that has the nerve to say that they are the first.

Everyone is speculating what kind of opponent UEFA will arrange for Mallorca this time? Chelsea is impossible. So is it a Spanish civil war with Real Madrid or a challenge to Rome and Inter Milan, the two Serie A teams? It seems unlikely that Mallorca will stop Mallorca's progress. After all, Real Madrid cannot deal with Mallorca in the league now, and Inter Milan has lost to Mallorca several times and was beaten by Mallorca last season. Roma seems to be a level away, although their performance in the Serie A this year is quite good.

As for the other Porto, Celtics, Eindhoven and Lille, they are even less able to compare with Mallorca. Although they are all strong teams, they can only be considered second-level teams in the top 16 of the Champions League.

Before entering the hotel, Jose was interviewed by a reporter. Regarding the opponent who drew lots, Jose said it didn't matter: "The top 16 are all strong teams, and no team is easy to deal with. So in fact, it doesn't matter whether we are first or second in the group. The important thing is that the schedule will be more beneficial to us."

"The Best Coach of the Year? I have won this award many times. Whether it will be awarded to me is not my own, but the judges' opinions. If they think that the World Cup championship is more important, it will be Mr. Lippi. If they think that the five championships I have won are worth more than one World Cup championship, it will be mine... In short, Mr. Lippi's performance this year is also quite outstanding. Even if I can't get it, I have nothing to say, and I have no intention of coaching the national team..."

After this sentence was said, many Spanish fans sighed. The La Liga is invincible in Europe. The old rival Serie A has gradually declined. The Bundesliga team lacks competitiveness. Although there are many strong teams in the Premier League that are beginning to rise, in the Champions League, they have to face the three mountains of Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Mallorca, and teams such as Sevilla Valencia also have strong competitiveness in the League Cup. The La Liga team has no opponents in Europe, but the performance of the Spanish national team has not been very good. Although Spanish fans attach more importance to the club than the national team, they still hope that the national team can perform well.

You should know that after returning in the World Cup, the calls for Jose to lead the Spanish national team in Spain have become increasingly high. However, Jose seems to have no interest in coaching the Spanish national team. He supports Aragonese in front of others and believes that the iron-blooded coach can lead the Spanish national team to achieve outstanding results, so many media are desperate. Now that Jose says this again, it seems that he really has no intention of coaching the Spanish national team.

When the reporter asked about the selection of Mr. World Football, Jose would naturally watch his disciples. Although he didn't think Kaka could win Mr. World Football this season: "Kaka's performance in the past year is obvious to all, Champions League champion, Champions League best scorer, Champions League best player... In the past year, he has fully demonstrated the style of a top player and has begun to become a leader among the post-80s players. Such a player is completely worthy of the honor of Mr. World Football. However, the same thing, whether he can become a Mr. World Football depends on what the judges think, not just his performance. But no matter what, in my heart, in the minds of Mallorca fans, he is the best player in the past year, without a doubt."

This was what Jose said before entering the hotel lobby where the lottery ceremony was. Kaka listened to his ears without missing a word, which made his mentality calm - Yes, he has done enough to get the World Football Master, just look at what the judges think - You should know that the World Football Master's judges were decided by the head coach and captain of more than 100 national teams under FIFA. You should know that there are many small countries and national team captains and head coaches who belong to a certain archipelago do not watch European games, and at most they only look at the World Cup...

You can't control these people.

In the final analysis, it is just a status and luck. If Kaka had not caught up with the World Cup year, it would be no problem to win the double footballer. However, now in the World Cup year, the performance evaluation of the World Cup performance will become the final decisive factor. However, the Brazilian national team and Kaka performed well in this World Cup. In fact, it is not just Kaka who performed poorly, but the performance of the entire Brazilian national team is not good...

"When I was in the United States, an old man in Chinatown said something. His words meant that whether we can decide whether we do something or not, but whether we can succeed is often only God who can decide... So, just leave everything to God, and we just work hard on our own."

While sitting down in his position, Jose patted his shoulder and said to Kaka.

Kaka nodded. He knew that Jose was giving him a vaccination in advance. He also needed such a vaccination to make his mentality calmer. Yes, he had done what he could do enough, and the final decision was not in his own hands. What should I worry about?

A clear conscience is enough.

What Kaka didn't know was that Jose was actually cheering himself up, and what he said to Kaka was equal to what Jose said to him.

Jose has always been very open-minded about anything. For example, in the process of building the Mallorca club, although some competitions are very important and some things must be done, his attitude has always been - I try my best to do it well. As for the final result, God can only decide. I can't acquire Mallorca this year, and I will acquire it next year. I will not win an important championship this year. I will get it next year and make everything ready to seize the opportunity. It is naturally the best to be able to seize it. If you can't catch it, you can just wait for the next opportunity. Anyway, it's still a long time.

However, this time he became nervous because if he could not apply to the final location of next year's Champions League, it would have to be two years later. If he could not apply once, he would have to postpone it for two years before he could apply. At that time, it is not certain whether such a powerful player, Mallorca, can stay in Mallorca, or whether he can still achieve such excellent results. Although Karin will not play outside for a long time before returning, he cannot achieve such a goal...

So Jose also needs to cheer himself up. Kaka won’t win the double championship this year and still has a chance to win next year, but he only has one chance...
Chapter completed!
