Chapter 37: Champions League draw

After the game, the entire Liverpool team returned to Melwood training base.

That night, Mo Yang and the others gathered in the entertainment room to watch the Champions League group draw ceremony.

"Yang! Who do you want to draw?" Salah, who was sitting next to Mo Yang, asked with a smile.

"Real Madrid!" Mo Yang thought of Modric and said it.

Suddenly everyone turned to look at Mo Yang with a strange expression on their faces.

Good guy, when other people draw lots, they hope to draw a weak team, but this guy actually did the opposite.

Klopp, who was sitting in the front, grinned when he heard this and looked back at Mo Yang. He knew that Mo Yang was not convinced and wanted to regain his position.

There is a chance!

Some time ago, he had already set the ultimate goal for Liverpool this season in a meeting with Liverpool's senior management.

It is to strive for the Champions League and Premier League with all its strength, and other cup competitions will be left to chance.

The goal has been set, but in Klopp's view it is really difficult to achieve it.

Since the establishment of the Premier League, only their rival Manchester United has achieved this achievement in the entire Premier League, and it was also the Triple Crown.

The reason why it is so difficult for Premier League teams to perform in the Champions League and the League at the same time is because of the huge gap between the dividend policies of the Premier League and the English Championship.

This has resulted in teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League having an extremely strong sense of crisis. They are afraid of being relegated and will risk their lives against you in the second half of the league.

As a result, in the second half of the season, many Premier League teams competing for the Champions League will be consumed by the league and forced to make choices.

If you are not greedy enough, the final result is often a dismal ending in the league and the Champions League.

Not only will you be left empty-handed, but you may also lose your spot in next season's Champions League.

In the blink of an eye, the time came to eight o'clock sharp. After awarding some Champions League player awards from last season, the drawing ceremony officially entered the process.

The teams in the first and second tiers were drawn one after another. When Mo Yang saw Modric won the best midfielder award in the Champions League last season, he was a little envious.

Soon the draw for the third tier teams was made, and Liverpool was among the third tier teams.

Although Liverpool won the Premier League and Europa League last season.

But Liverpool's performance in the past few seasons was really poor, and their points in the European competition were pitifully low.

"Wow, it's so dangerous!"

"God, it's a good thing we are no longer in Group G!"

"..."

Not long after, the first complete group qualified.

Group G:

Monaco

porto

besiktas

Leipzig

These teams are all regulars in the Champions League over the years and are experienced in the Champions League. This group has almost been scheduled to be in the death group of this year's Champions League. Because they are equally strong, everyone has the possibility of qualifying.

Not long after, Liverpool was drawn out and found themselves in Group E again.

Liverpool's opponents are: Spartak Moscow, Sevilla and Maribor.

Seeing these teams, Henderson and the others immediately beamed with joy.

Compared with Chelsea and Tottenham, who are going to play Atletico Madrid, Roma, Real Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool has been lucky enough to get a top pick.

Klopp also grinned with joy. The apparent strength of this group is that only Sevilla, the king of the European League, can threaten them.

In this way, the Champions League won't involve too much energy in the future, and he can devote most of the team's energy to the Premier League and recover some league points first.

If possible, he hopes to establish a points advantage in the first half of the season.

In this way, after Christmas, he can make some adjustments according to the schedule and give up some games that will not affect the overall situation.



The next day, Mo Yang came to London to meet Perret, and the two went to EA's London branch to complete the filming of the advertisement.

After arriving at the destination, Mo Yang put on a high-tech motion capture suit, and then completed a series of actions such as dribbling, passing, shooting and celebrating according to the guidance of the staff.

It was really tiring, but at the same time it also made him somewhat interested in this game.

After completing a series of motion captures, Mo Yang was led by the staff to another studio to shoot game covers and promotional advertisements.

It took a full day to complete the endorsement of this advertisement.

When he got home, Mo Yang was so tired that he lay on the sofa and refused to get up, but looking at the newly entered numbers, he suddenly felt less tired.

Perret parked the car and walked in. He immediately laughed when he saw Mo Yang's lazy look. It was rare to see this kid like this.

In Pere's impression, Mo Yang was always in a state of high energy. Sometimes, even if he and Mo Yang were at home, he couldn't say a few words. This kid was either in the gym or practicing at the training ground.

After sitting silently on the sofa for a while, Perret suddenly said for no reason: "Yang, if you want to get more personal honors, or even compete with Messi and Ronaldo for the Ballon d'Or in the future, there is one aspect I

I suggest you must make changes."

After hearing what Pere said, Mo Yang immediately sat up with a puzzled look on his face.

"Shoot!" Perret pointed at Mo Yang, "Yang, you have a lot of assists, but very few shots. You have to know that the number of goals scored in each season is very important in the selection of most awards.

index of!"

Pere had long wanted to mention these words to Mo Yang.

In Perre's eyes, Mo is ready to compete with Messi and Ronaldo for the Ballon d'Or.

Although he is still a little green now, he will definitely be able to compete for the Golden Globe Award in two or three years.

There are many factors involved in the selection of the Ballon d'Or.

Not only must they perform outstandingly in the league and European competitions, but even the performance of the national team will be included in the selection.

And this is precisely Mo Yang's biggest weakness. It is difficult for the Chinese team to achieve excellent results on the world stage.

Even though the Chinese team has made it to the World Cup, in Pere's eyes it's just a matter of going around for a while and then going back.

This is not really because he looks down on the Chinese team, but this is the fact.

Even if they are as strong as France, Spain, Germany and other traditional World Cup teams, there is no guarantee that they will qualify for the group stage.

It is not uncommon for traditional strong teams to overturn in every World Cup.

After all, football is a team sport of eleven people. No matter how strong one person is, there is a limit.

So in his opinion, if Mo Yang wants to win the Golden Globe Award, he must take the wrong approach.

It is necessary to show absolute dominance and influence in the league and the Champions League to make up for the fatal weakness of the national team's lack of honor.

But Mo Yang is a midfielder. Even if he maintains 20+ assists every season, if he lacks goals, it will still be difficult for him to compete with the two champions of La Liga.

Now that I think about Perret, it's strange. Ordinary young players can't wait to express themselves on the court all the time.

But when it comes to Moyang, why is it the other way around?

In the past, Mo Yang's shooting was so bad that he couldn't even shoot on the court.

And now his shooting is obviously at a very good level.

However, Mo Yang rarely shows his long-range shooting skills on the court. Most of the time, he silently passes the ball to his teammates and serves the team.

Selflessness is of great benefit to the team, but sometimes it does no good to the players.

For example, in this Golden Boy Award selection, if Mo Yang's goals last season also reached double digits, then Mbappe would not be a threat to Mo Yang at all. It can almost be said that the Golden Boy Award must go to Mo Yang, but unfortunately not.

.

Midfielders do not receive as much attention as forwards. If Mo Yang does not show more of himself, no matter how high his worth is, without the important data of scoring goals, he will miss out on many awards.

Mo Yang was silent. Pere's words suddenly woke him up and made him realize that his shooting had improved, but his mentality seemed to remain in the past, fearful of shooting, and even resistance.

In fact, it's not that he didn't have the chance to take long shots during the game, but he always felt that long shots would waste offensive opportunities, so sometimes he would let them go when he saw an opportunity and choose a safer assist.

Seeing Mo Yang lost in thought, Pere laughed, knowing that he had listened.

Based on his understanding of Mo Yang, as long as he listens to it, he will definitely make changes.
