Chapter 654: The Group of Death


"Hi Miss Lahiri" When Charlene Lahiri and Stephen Howard, chief reporter of The Sun, walked into the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monaco, someone immediately called out to them.

Charlene Lahiri, who was wearing a black and white professional suit, turned around and found that the people calling her were two oriental men with black hair and yellow skin.

One of them should be about forty, and the other was less than thirty years old.

The person who called out to them was a young man in his twenties, slightly fat, with short hair, and wearing a crisp suit.

When she first saw this person, Charlene Lahiri felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was, so she frowned slightly.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

The fat young man was not recognized and seemed a little embarrassed.

He scratched his head and said, "Miss Lahiri, have you forgotten?

We met in Southampton not long ago and we are going to cooperate.

Remember?"

When he said this, Charlene Lahiri immediately remembered.

"Oh, you know Mr.

Qiu, the football emperor" Qiu Zaifei felt even more embarrassed now.

Are all European and American girls so direct?

"Yes, Miss Lahiri, I didn't expect to see you here."

Charlene Lahiri and Stephen Howard looked at each other with hidden smiles.

They are all journalist guests invited by UEFA, specifically to vote for the European Player of the Season tonight.

How could they not be here?

But out of politeness, they would definitely not say these things.

"Ms.

Lahiri, let me introduce to you.

This is the editor-in-chief of the most authoritative sports newspaper in our country, Mr.

Luo Minluo.

Their newspapers and magazines are cooperating with us."

"Hello, Mr.

Luo" "Hello, Miss Lahiri."

The middle-aged Luo Ming quickly shook hands with Charlene Lahiri politely.

Others may not know it, but he knows it better than anyone else.

Charlene Lahiri is a very popular top celebrity in the UK and even Europe, and the person who is walking with her also has a lot of background.

"If I admit my mistake correctly, this should be Mr.

Howard from The Sun."

Stephen Howard was a little surprised.

He didn't expect to be recognized.

He nodded with a smile, and then was polite again.

"By the way, Mr.

Qiu, aren't you planning to cooperate with some famous columnists recently and translate their articles into your application software?"

Charlene Lahiri suddenly thought of it.

"Well, yes" Qiu Zaifei nodded.

"Well, Stephen is our most famous columnist in the UK.

He is much more famous than Martin Samuel and others who are often translated in your country.

Moreover, his articles have sharp views and are quite insightful."

Luo Ming was shocked when he heard this.

Stephen Howard was the chief reporter of the Sun.

His column was indeed quite famous.

Their newspaper had considered reprinting it before, but the other party ignored it at all.

Unexpectedly, what happened next made Luo Ming almost shocked.

"Charlene, this is the new project invested by Master Huan that you mentioned before," Stephen Howard asked with a smile.

"Yes, my column has been exclusively authorized to them.

In addition, I have also helped them contact several European celebrities, such as Cruyff, Alfredo Reilano, and Jose Ramondella.

Column by Morena et al.”

Luo Ming was immediately dumbfounded.

It goes without saying who Cruyff is.

His columns have been reprinted and translated by all domestic media.

As for Alfredo Reilano, this man is not well-known, or even a complete stranger, but his identity is the editor-in-chief of AS, and he has worked for many newspapers such as Marca, Mundo Deportivo, El Pais and Radio Ser.

He works in the media and has been engaged in the football field for more than 30 years.

The columns he writes every day in Aspen are always listed on the front page.

The audience in Spain is very surprising, and they are often accompanied by explosive news and exclusive insider information.

As for José Ramón de la Morena, a well-known person in Radio Ser and known as the number one person in the Spanish media, his influence needs no further explanation.

He is the kind of authoritative person who makes unmistakable news once he opens his mouth. who.

With Yang Huan's investment, Luo Ming knew that the Qiu Di Di had aroused huge repercussions in the domestic fan circle as soon as it was launched, but little did he know that their ambitions were so great that they had contacted so many European celebrities.

"You have contacted so many people, I should be the only one left," Stephen Howard said with a smile.

Charlene Lahiri curled her lips and said, "He must ask for authorization from your column by naming him."

Stephen Howard was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Okay, since Master Huan has ordered it, then I agree."

Luo Ming was shocked again.

He really didn't expect that Young Master Yang Huan still had such influence in the European media industry.

Just at this time, there was a movement at the gate, and everyone turned their heads to look.

I saw Yang Huan smiling and walking into the venue side by side with UEFA President Platini.

Along the way, I could hear the shouts of Master Huan.

It seemed that Master Huan was suffering more than Platini.

Pamper much.

"Master Huan" Qiu Zaifei shouted excitedly as soon as he saw Yang Huan approaching.

Yang Huan nodded and smiled at them.

After saying hello, he hurried past them.

Finally, under the attention of everyone in the audience, Yang Huan sat in the front row with Platini.

The two seemed to have a very close relationship.

After sitting down, they whispered to each other from time to time.

Charlene Lahiri and Stephen Howard sat in the media area, while Qiu Zaifei and Luo Ming could only sit in the back row.

"I didn't expect that Master Huan has so many connections in Europe."

Luo Ming was a little surprised.

Qiu Zaifei also felt honored.

He raised his head and nodded: "That's right, our young master Huan is a big shot in European football who can cause earthquakes with just one stamp of his foot.

You are welcome to see him."

Before, Luo Ming would definitely have objected, but now, he really believes it.

The European football world is said to be closed, and it is indeed very closed, full of a lot of traditional rules such as rankings and seniority.

Therefore, if you want to get to the top of the pyramid from an outsider, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Otherwise, with the connections, resources and financial resources of Abramovich and others, why have they not been able to join the inner circle after so many years?

What about the nouveau riche who are looked down upon by others?

Therefore, it seems that it is really not easy for Master Huan to achieve the status and influence he has today.

As for some people in China saying that he is a spendthrift rich second generation, that is even more ridiculous.

If a rich second generation who only knows how to spend money can get along with UEFA President Platini, then UEFA will be too worthless.

But what surprised Luo Ming even more was the lottery ceremony that followed.

Although Southampton won the Europa League and counterattacked Manchester United to win the Premier League title as a newly promoted team, the team's number one star Zlatan Ibrahimovic still won the European Player of the Season award.

In the selection, there was no surprise that he lost to Cristiano Ronaldo.

This is not surprising at all, because Real Madrid won the Champions League last season, and it is natural for Cristiano Ronaldo to win the European Player of the Season.

But in the subsequent draw ceremony, Southampton took advantage.

As a newcomer to the UEFA Champions League, the Saints have won the Europa League for two consecutive seasons, accumulating a total of more than 60 points in the European War.

This puts Southampton in the UEFA Champions League group stage.

The third gear.

As a result, all the other European powerful men were frightened to death.

Needless to say, the strength of the teams in the first tier is not to mention.

The teams in the second tier also include Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille, AC Milan and other superior teams.

But in the third tier, there are still tough teams like Manchester City, Leverkusen, Southampton, and Dortmund.

Do you think those teams in the first two tiers can't be afraid?

As for the fourth tier, Real Sociedad and Naples are also very capable teams, which is scary just thinking about it.

If someone is not careful, it may be a death group.

But the final result of the draw was indeed scary, and there was indeed a group of death, but it was not Southampton or Atletico Madrid.

Southampton is the third-tier team.

The first-tier team drawn is Porto of the Portuguese Super League, the second-tier team is Zenit St.

Petersburg, and the fourth-tier team is Austria Vienna.

The result of this draw is quite satisfactory, especially for Southampton, as the third-tier team, being able to avoid the wealthy teams in the first two tiers and draw Porto and Zeni St.

Petersburg in succession.

Special, the fortune is not bad.

But Atletico Madrid's draw luck was significantly better.

As the first-tier team, Atletico Madrid's opponents were Schalke 04, Basel and Steaua Bucharest, which can be said to be the luckiest result among all teams.

Relatively speaking, Arsenal's luck is miserable.

As the first-tier team, the opponents drawn by the Gunners are Marseille, Dortmund and Naples, all of which are strong teams in the other three tiers.

They can be called a group of death.

Manchester United's luck is not ideal either.

They were drawn against Shakhtar Donetsk, Bayer Leverkusen and Real Sociedad, and the situation is also quite unfavorable.

As for Manchester City, as a third-tier team, Manchester City has pretty good luck, encountering Bayern Munich, CSKA Moscow and Pilsen Victory.

If we look at the strength, as long as Manchester City performs normally, it is quite possible to qualify from the group.

As soon as the lottery results came out, the entire Grimaldi Conference Center was in an uproar.

Everyone exclaimed, and everyone's expression was completely different.

Some are rejoicing at their team's good luck in the lottery, while others are beating their chests and feeling depressed about their poor luck in the lottery.

There are also some people who are purely here to make soy sauce, but they are very unhappy.

Gloating about someone's situation.

In short, you can find all kinds of people and all kinds of expressions in the Grimaldi Conference Center.

Atletico Madrid got the best draw in the game, and Soriano breathed a sigh of relief.

He suddenly straightened his chest and narrowed his belly.

He was obviously full of confidence in the team's emergence from the group stage.

And this often represents a steady stream of money and interests.

As for Southampton, they are also very lucky.

Peter Kenyon is also in a good mood.

Yang Huan glanced at Platini thoughtfully.

The latter smiled tacitly and said nothing more. .

After the lottery ceremony, Yang Huan did not stay at the Grimaldi Conference Center for a long time.

He couldn't get an advantage and still be good.

However, he can completely foresee that tomorrow, after the whole world knows the results of the draw, the voices of conspiracy theories will definitely resurface again.

By that time, there is no telling how many people will envy and hate Southampton.

In fact, everything was as Yang Huan expected.

The next day, almost all media around the world were hyping up the draw results for the Champions League group stage.

But there was one thing that Yang Huan did not expect:
