In the evening, the Grimalti Convention Center in Monaco was brightly lit.

A long red carpet was laid outside the center gate, and the surroundings were filled with media reporters and enthusiastic fans from afar.

Welcome cars sent all the guests who came to participate in this event to the red carpet. They were either football bosses, popular superstars, or former celebrities, each of them could arouse a burst of warm cheers.

Accompanied by Blanca, Gao Han also appeared at the scene.

As soon as he got off the car, an extremely enthusiastic exclaim suddenly came from the scene.

Everyone knew he was coming, and they had been waiting for it, and now they finally waited.

After Mourinho's previous hype that accused Inter Milan of not worthy of having a seed seat, everyone is more looking forward to Gao Han's appearance, and is also looking forward to the upcoming Champions League group draw.

I wonder if UEFA will follow the public opinion and draw Inter Milan and Chelsea together?

If media reporters and fans were accusing UEFA of secret operations before, then now, they are eager for UEFA to really secretly operate once because it is too interesting, right?

Gao Han walked on the red carpet, waving to the people who were calling his name along the way, but walked quickly into the venue.

The lobby on the ground floor of the conference center is also crowded with people and is very lively.

UEFA officials, club executives, popular superstars who were shortlisted for the best awards, or celebrities who have retired but still have influence, gathered together in groups of three or three to chat about popular topics in the football world.

And in recent times, of course, the most popular ones are the grudges between Mourinho and Gao Han.

Therefore, when Gao Han entered the venue, everyone in the audience immediately looked at him, becoming the most attention of the audience. Even Blanca, who was standing side by side with him, felt very proud and looked up and raised her chest.

"Ha, you kid is finally here." Paul Futre was the first to meet him when he saw Gao Han enter the door.

This technical director of Atletico Madrid is a former football celebrity and still has a very strong position in the circle.

"Long time no see, Paul." Gao Han and Paul Fottery hugged affectionately.

The two are already in love and there is nothing to be polite about.

"Hey, what's going on with you and Mourinho?"

"It's nothing." Gao Han shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm not afraid to tell you honestly. I really don't know him. I don't know why he caught me. Maybe he was jealous of my handsomeness."

"Take you down." Paul Futrey laughed, "But that kid is really a little petty and can't stand the sand in his eyes."

Also a Portuguese, Paul Fottery is quite familiar with Mourinho and knows the character of a madman.

It should be said that from the perspective of division, Chelsea is indeed at a disadvantage.

UEFA's reference for the draw of the Champions League group stage is European points, but European points not only include the Champions League, but also the League Cup, which has led to many teams who can get very good points by just winning the League Cup.

On the contrary, Chelsea, although they have won three consecutive championships in the British League and are very strong, they still fail to gain an advantage in the European arena and are forced to rank second.

Don't underestimate the first and second gears, but the gap is quite large.

The first-ranked teams are all real strong teams, including Barcelona, ​​AC Milan, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester United and Atletico Madrid, which almost represents the highest level in today's European football.

Among the second teams, although there are strong teams such as Lyon, Bayern Munich, Valencia, Chelsea and Roma, there are also relatively easy-to-play teams such as Porto, Eindhoven and Celtics.

In other words, the teams ranked first may not draw strong teams, but the teams ranked second will definitely draw the most difficult teams. This is the real reason why Mourinho complains.

Let me ask, if Chelsea unfortunately draws a strong team in the group stage and ends up exhausted, coupled with the tragic British League and no adjustments during the winter break, how far can Mourinho's team go?

Green Wald had told Gao Han before that Mourinho is under great pressure now, especially in the Champions League.

Abramovich has invested so much for many years, if Mourinho can't achieve any results, I'm afraid...

However, Gao Han did not have any sympathy for this, because all this was asked by him.

From the time he met Abramovich in private, he should have known that today will be there.

"Hey, by the way, don't you respond?" Paul Futrey smiled with fear that the world would not be messed up.

"What's the best response to this?" Gao Han asked with a smile, "Just just hit it!"

Paul Futrey burst into laughter when he heard this, pointing at Gao Han and unable to speak.

This Gao Han is still the same as the Gao Han of the past, and it has not changed at all. It is also a person who refuses to give in easily.

Just as Gao Han was chatting with Paul Fotterrey, Barcelona also walked into the lobby.

Black Swan Rijkaard led this team to win the Champions League championship last season. His performance was outstanding and he was also a favorite for the best awards of this year's Champions League. All four major awards were nominated, and it is very likely to have a great harvest.

This also made Rijkaard very popular at the scene, but after several Barcelona players entered the venue, they quickly walked towards Gao Han and surrounded him.

"Boss."

"You miss me to death, boss."

Ronaldinho, Etoo and Deco hugged Gao Han tightly, allowing everyone to feel their love for the head coach, and also made everyone realize that Gao Han made great contributions to Barcelona's current status.

Of course, the group of players introduced by Barcelona have all asked for money.

The boy Messi still looked green and a little shy. He was a little excited when he saw Gao Han, but he did not pounce like the other three. After all, when he played football under Gao Han, his friendship with Gao Han was not as good as that of the other three. But what he didn't expect was that after Gao Han got rid of the entanglement of the three, he came to him the first one.

"Leo, I've watched all the games you played in Barcelona recently. You have to learn to protect yourself and not stick to the ball too much. Too much injury is not a good thing for you. If you need to pass, you have to pass. If you are smarter, you will be even more threatening."

Messi hugged Gao Han hard, feeling very moved because he knew that in Gao Han's mind, his status was no smaller than that of popular superstars such as Ronaldinho, and the boss was still full of expectations for him.

Otherwise, why would the boss take the time to watch his game in his busy schedule?

When everyone else saw this scene, they were also quite sad, especially Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon in the crowd.

The ability of high-altitude players to be trained is obvious to all, and both Ronaldinho, Etoo and Deco have proved this.

Just like Messi was quite optimistic when he was at Chelsea. He continued to be valued after joining Barcelona. He is now one of the top rookies in European football and is not inferior to Inter Milan's Cristiano Ronaldo.

There are also Fabregas and Van Persie. Chelsea used them to exchange Ashley Cole. England's left-back did perform well, but compared with Fabregas and Van Persie's performance at Arsenal, the deal was a big loss.

The reason why Abramovich has been furious recently is that he still regrets the past.

A deal forced Gao Han to resign angrily. Not only did Chelsea's dynasty end suddenly, but Mourinho was replaced, and the gap with Gao Han was not a little bit. How did this balance Abramovich?

Is it useful to regret it?

Peter Kenyon is mixed, but others admire him more.

Looking at the players Gao Han has trained in the past few years, as long as he can train one, it will be enough for him to talk about for a lifetime, but Gao Han has trained so many in just a few years. How can people not admire him?

Because of this, Gao Han's position in European football is increasing day by day.

…………

…………

Gao Han’s master-apprentice meeting did not last long. The organizer quickly notified everyone that the lottery ceremony and award ceremony were about to begin and invited them to enter.

The award ceremony was held in the intervals of the lottery ceremony and was broadcast live throughout the whole process.

However, this has nothing to do with Inter Milan.

The nomination for the Best Award is based on the performance of the Champions League last season, but Inter Milan did not play in the Champions League, so it was impossible to be shortlisted.

The first part of the whole party was to award the best goalkeeper.

There are three goalkeepers shortlisted for the best goalkeeper, namely Arsenal goalkeeper Lehman, Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes, and Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Cech. These three players are also the best goalkeepers in the Champions League last season.

In the end, Arsenal goalkeeper Lehman defeated Valdes and Cech and won the award.

After all, he helped Arsenal reach the Champions League final for the first time in history.

After awarding the best goalkeeper, the first part of the group stage draw was immediately held, the seed team draw.

As a result, Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, AC Milan, Barcelona and Inter Milan were drawn one by one, ranking in eight groups respectively.

The award was awarded by former superstar Michelle Laudrup. In the end, Puyol defeated other competitors and won the award, and he and Laudrup played the draw for the second-tier team.

Before the draw officially began, Laudrup joked that among the many second-tier teams, which team he least wanted to draw?

As a result, Puyol also joked that the team he didn't want to meet was assigned to the first level, and the live broadcast screen behind him was even more intentional about pointing the camera at Gao Han, which made the scene burst into laughter.

Everyone knows that when Gao Han coached at Atletico Madrid, Barcelona suffered a lot. Puyol himself said many times in interviews that it was the most terrifying team he had ever encountered.

So, everyone suspected that the Barcelona captain should have breathed a sigh of relief now.

But the lottery still needs to continue.

With Puyol and Laudrupp's hands, the second-level teams were constantly pulled out and assigned to different groups.

Lyon, Valencia, Eindhoven, Rome...

All teams have been drawn out, and there are fewer and fewer options left for Barcelona and Inter Milan.

Especially when we draw the last three or four teams, every time we draw one, we take a breath of air conditioning on the spot.

Obviously, no one wants to meet Barcelona or Inter Milan.

"The second team drawn in the sixth group is..." Puyol took the small ball that Laudrupp took out, opened it and read the name inside, "Porto!"

The audience was suddenly in an uproar.

At this moment, there are only two small balls left in the cylinder, representing two teams.

Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
