Chapter 917 A Possibility
Caroline suddenly noticed that Kaka next to her straightened her back suddenly. She turned her head and took a look. Her husband was staring at the TV screen more intently, with... a little excitement in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"It's nothing, I just thought of it suddenly..."
Kaka didn't continue talking, but continued to stare at the TV screen.
The idea that popped up in his mind has completely occupied his brain, leaving him with no time to think about other things.
He wanted to stare at the TV screen right now to see if the situation he envisioned would happen!
Just now, Kaka thought of a problem. According to the lottery rules of the UEFA Champions League group stage, two teams from the same league cannot be divided into one group. Then Manchester City will definitely not go to Group B, Group D and Group E of the eight groups, leaving only five groups.
In theory, Manchester City could be assigned to any of these five groups, so why... can't they be assigned to Group A where Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are?
This is entirely possible!
If that's the case, then Kaka can complete his revenge plan without waiting for the knockout round!
After all, after entering the knockout round, there will be another draw, and it depends on luck. Even if Manchester City advances to the knockout round, it may not necessarily be divided with Real Madrid.
It is more difficult for the two to meet.
And now if the two teams are divided into a group, then there is no need to consider whether Manchester City will qualify for the group.
Real Madrid and Bayern Munich must qualify for the group stage.
And Kaka will use this opportunity to teach glory again, there is no future in fighting alone!Even if you drag Manchester City to the Champions League group stage, the group stage will be your last stage!
This is better than letting Manchester City enter the knockout stage and knock them out!
Not getting out of the group stage, I believe it will be a heavier blow to Rongguang!
Thinking of this, Kaka became very excited, and his straight waist even trembled slightly.
He prayed to God in his heart, prayed that God would let Manchester City be grouped with them!

The draw ceremony continues.
One by one the teams were drawn, and the second tier of teams finally belonged.
It is worth mentioning that the defending champion and Inter Milan are in a group, and the grievances between Mourinho and Barcelona can continue.
Next comes the third tier of teams.
The first unlucky one to be in a group with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich came out.
From Bordeaux, France.
When Bordeaux was assigned to Group A, the TV broadcast showed a close-up shot of Bordeaux's manager and coach. From the close-up shot, it can be seen that both of them are frowning and shaking their heads with a wry smile.
Faced with such a group, a wry smile is the only decent expression...
Seeing this result, the other third-tier teams all heaved a sigh of relief, at least their own team will not be assigned to this group...
The teams in the third tier were eventually drawn.
The third team in the group that Barcelona and Inter Milan are in is Dynamo Kiev from Ukraine.
Next, draw the fourth-tier teams.
The first fourth-tier team to be drawn was Ruby Kazan from Russia. The situation of this team was the same as that of Manchester City.
After they are drawn, start drawing their groups.
"F."
Following the host's announcement, Ruby Kazan was assigned to Group F with Barcelona, Inter Milan and Dynamo Kiev. This team must be here to play soy sauce. Don't think about qualifying for any group, and don't even think about being able to play in the Europa League third in that group...
Two more teams were drawn next.
The lottery guests began to draw the fourth one.
After fumbling with the table tennis ball for a while, he took out a ball and handed it to the host, who opened it and announced.
"Manchester City." The host read.
The TV broadcast quickly gave a close-up of Manchester City coach Benitez and club chairman Fahim. Both Fahim and Benitez were expressionless, unable to see their true thoughts.
Next is the group draw.
After a while of fumbling, he took out a ball and handed it to the host.
The host tore it apart, opened the piece of paper, and stared at it...for about two or three seconds, he didn't speak, just looked at the small note with the blue logo of the Champions League on it, as if there was some magic on the note that could attract people's eyes.
Everyone raised their heads, stretched their necks, opened their mouths slightly, and stared at him.
The TV cameras kept showing him close-ups, waiting for him to turn the note over and show it to the camera.
But seeing that the host didn't do this the first time, they were all puzzled.
what happened?
Is something wrong?
Problem with lottery?
Just when these thoughts were popping up in everyone's minds, the host turned the note over and said at the same time: "A."
Group A!
Manchester City has been assigned to Group A!
The scene was stunned for a moment, then fell into silence, and then there was a bang!
There were exclamations, laughter, breaths of relief, uncontrollable discussions, applause, slaps on thighs and armrests of chairs... All the sounds were intertwined, and the scene was full of noise, as if it had suddenly turned into a vegetable market!
After everyone reacted, they immediately showed their characters.
Some people gloated, and some looked at the Manchester City representative with sympathetic eyes.

The Spanish hosts of the live broadcast also exclaimed: "Manchester City! It's Manchester City! This is the first time after 39 years that a team participating in the Champions League has been assigned to a group with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich! The second unlucky guy was born..."
The host's voice sounded a little gloating.
Kaka in front of the TV suddenly clenched his fists and shouted: "Okay!"
Caroline next to her was taken aback and turned to look at him.
Kaka didn't notice her at all, she was still staring at the TV screen with an excited smile on her face.
Only then did Caroline understand what Kaka's excited eyes meant just now—it turned out that he was waiting to be grouped with Rong Guang!
The phone rang suddenly, awakening Kaka, he turned his head and grabbed the phone, it was Cristiano Ronaldo calling.
"Hey, Chris..."
"Kaka, are you watching the draw?" Before he finished speaking, Cristiano Ronaldo's excited voice came from over there.
"Of course, I'm watching..."
"Great! That kid has been grouped with us! This time... the opportunity of two home and away games, we have to teach him a lesson!" The Portuguese spoke quickly, and his voice sounded like a machine gun... "Beat him, so that he can't get out of the group! Let him know the huge gap between him and us!"
"I think the same as you, Cristiano." Kaka said with a smile.
After he hung up the phone, Caroline next to him suddenly said, "I feel so pitiful for Rong..."
Kaka turned to look at him.
"I ran into two high-spirited opponents."
Caroline smiled slightly.

When the result of the lottery was announced, the TV camera hesitated for a while before showing it to Benitez and Fahim. Obviously, the director was also a little surprised.
In the camera, Benitez and Fahim looked at each other, and then Fahim covered his mouth with his hands and leaned into Benitez's ear and said, "This is not a good signing... But don't put too much pressure on it, Rafa. After all, this is the first time we have played in the Champions League after such a long time. The club will not have too much requirements in terms of results. The main goal of the team this season is still in the league..."
He started to decompress Benitez.
Benitez nodded.
After seeing the result of the lottery, he also wanted to frown. It's really bad luck... Now that the club's senior management can understand this way, it couldn't be better.

When Rong Guang returned home covered in sweat, the TV screen in the living room was off and turned off.
Neither Deborah nor Yaoyao was in the living room.
He knew that she must have taken her son to bed.
So he went straight upstairs to the bathroom to take a shower.
After taking a shower, he wiped his hair with a towel, and went downstairs to the kitchen to find something to drink.
But he couldn't find the drink he wanted to drink, so he turned over the bottles and cans in the refrigerator until the bells rang.
At this moment, he heard Deborah's voice from behind: "What do you want to drink?"
"Juice, where did you put it?" Rong Guang didn't look up.
"I'm done drinking. I'll go buy it tomorrow. Is milk okay?"
"Uh... that's fine too." Rong Guang didn't pick anything. After training, he sweated profusely and took a shower again. His mouth was very dry, as long as he had something to drink.
Deborah walked in, took over the control of the refrigerator from Rong Guang, took out the milk carton, poured Rong Guang a glass, and heated it in the microwave.
One minute later, Rong Guang was already drinking milk from a cup.
"The draw is over?" he asked.
Deborah nodded: "Do you want to know who Manchester City is in a group with?"
"with who?"
"You will never think of it." Speaking of this, Deborah showed a playful smile on her face. "Bordeaux."
Rong Guang asked: "The one in Portugal..."
"No, that's Porto, this is Bordeaux in France, the Bordeaux that produces wine." Deborah knew that Rong Guang would associate with that team, so she explained.
"Oh." Rong Guang nodded to show that he understood.
"And then... Real Madrid and Bayern Munich." Deborah announced the names of the remaining two teams in one breath.
Rong Guang, who was drinking milk, stopped, and he still kept his head up to drink milk. He just rolled his eyes and stared at Deborah, with some...surprise in his eyes.
"It was very lively at the time, it's a pity you didn't see it." Deborah continued to smile.
