Chapter 919 Group of Death?

When Kieren Reiswell walked out of the gate of Colchester United's training base, he turned his head and spat hard at the slightly old gate.

The spit was not directed at Colchester United, but at the new head of youth training, Paul Lambert.

He remembered what Paul Lambert had said to him just 10 minutes earlier.

"...You have to be clear, Kieren Reiswell, I didn't terminate your contract because you fought. It's because you didn't meet the requirements of our team. You are already, but your body is as thin as a 14-year-old. So I'm sorry, maybe professional football is not for you..."

How high-sounding... But Kieren Reiswell knew that the reason was very simple, just because he kicked Paul Lambert's "love disciple" Callum Christie hard.

After venting his anger, he picked up his backpack and left the gate of Colchester United's training base without looking back.

But when he got to the highway and waited for the bus, he started to feel lost.

He doesn't even know how he got to this point...

He is a native of Manchester and liked to play football since he was a child. He was discovered by a scout from Colchester United when he was 13 years old and brought him to Essex in the south of England. He then spent four years with this team.

He originally hoped to become a professional player here. In fact, he didn't have much ambition. He didn't think about becoming an England international, nor did he think about participating in the World Cup or the Champions League.He just wants to be a professional footballer who earns money to support himself and his family, no matter which team he plays for... Of course, it would be even better if he can play in the Premier League.

In general, he's not the type to have big ambitions.

Fortunately, compared to ordinary people, he is still talented in football, at least it should be able to support his very ordinary ideal of sight.

After turning [-], he would have been drawn into the Colchester United reserves and established himself, occasionally training with the first team and winning the Apprentice of the Year award in his own first season.

And then that new Paul Lambert coach came along.

He brought in a lot of his own players, all from his previous teams, an unbelievable amount.Then Kieren Reiswell returned to the youth team.

Next, Lambert released a number of youth players from their contracts, before saying to Kieren Reiswell: "I'll watch you for a while."

It was yesterday afternoon when he said this.

It seems that his time is measured in hours, which is different from other people who measure time in days...

I spent four years with this team, and all my efforts were towards becoming a professional player, but now he has been fired, so what should I do next?

Kieren was frustrated, very depressed.

He does have a small frame, and he admits it.When he first entered the Colchester United youth team, his body looked normal, no different from the peers around him.

But then when his teammates started to grow, his body gradually stopped growing. Until now, he is only 1.6 meters tall, and looks like a child who hasn't grown up.

He also went to see a doctor, but the doctor told him that his final height is estimated to be around 1.6 meters five.

This is still a relatively optimistic estimate.

It is also possible that his height is fixed at 1.6 meters zero.

It is indeed very difficult for this body to gain a foothold in the fiercely confrontational English professional football... He does not have particularly outstanding footwork skills, and his speed is not outstanding.

He thought of Paul Lambert's last words.

Is professional football really not for me?
Kieren Rieswell sighed.

Today is really bad luck. Last night, seeing Manchester City, which he supported since he was a child, was assigned to such a group, it was a huge blow to him. You must know that when Manchester City entered the Champions League, he was very happy for a long time.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be such a result in the end. The Manchester City people looked forward to the 39-year Champions League trip, and finally watched it become a joke.

Because of this, he was distracted during today's training.

Now he was terminated because of a fight with Callum.

Bad luck happened one after another.

Today is the darkest day in his 18 years of life!
The bus came, and he got on the bus with his head down and downcast. Next, he was going to the train station, then back to Manchester, and back to his home.

After the injury, where else could he go but go home?

"Almost everyone doesn't like us..."

"Did you read the "Manchester Evening News" that came out this morning? It also thinks that we have drawn a lottery..."

"Bayern Munich and Real Madrid will definitely qualify for the group stage. We seem to compete with Bordeaux for the Europa League knockout qualification..."

In the locker room of the Carrington training base, the Manchester City players who had just arrived at the training base were changing clothes while chatting. The focus of their discussion was naturally the result of the UEFA Champions League group draw that just ended.

"That's not necessarily true." A voice interrupted everyone's discussion.

The door of the locker room was pushed open, and a sweaty glory appeared in front of everyone, and the words were what he said.

He just finished his "morning exercise" before formal training.

"Uh, Rong, are you saying that we may not be able to compete with Bordeaux for the Europa League knockout qualification?" Robinho asked.

Rong Guang shook his head: "No, I'm the one who finally qualified in this group, so it's not necessarily Real Madrid and Bayern Munich."

Everyone was stunned.

At this moment, Sneijder stood up: "I agree with Rong's words. In the end, the teams that qualify from the group may not necessarily be Bayern Munich and Real Madrid."

Everyone turned to look at him again.

"Even if the whole world does not believe that we can qualify, we have to believe it ourselves." Sneijder continued. "And I know Real Madrid, they are not as strong as they look, otherwise why are they a second tier team and not a first tier team? Even teams like Lyon and Porto are in the first tier and Real Madrid are not. Doesn't that explain the problem?"

Sneijder said this very powerfully, because he was still playing for Real Madrid before. He said that he knew Real Madrid very well, and that was definitely not a joke.

Rong Guang continued: "We worked so hard last season and finally came to the Champions League. We didn't just go home after visiting the group stage. So, no matter how strong the opponent is, we must qualify from this group!"

※※※

After training, Rong Guang was surrounded by reporters. Everyone wanted to hear his opinion on the results of the UEFA Champions League draw last night.

As a result, when Rong Guang opened his mouth, the reporters were stunned.

"We were assigned to a death group..."

Wait... What Group of Death?
The reporters didn't even understand how the group where Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Bordeaux, and Manchester City belonged was the group of death.

The group of death is either a strong team or a group of death. The group of death means that the four teams in this group are similar in strength. Anyone may qualify, and no one may qualify. The situation is complicated. This is the group of death...

What are the intricacies of this group format?It is very clear, it must be Bayern Munich and Real Madrid qualifying, Bordeaux and Manchester City are both roles to accompany the prince to study.

The only problem is the ranking of the group.

So this is actually not a group of death. In fact, there is no real group of death in this group draw.

"...No matter who the opponent is or how strong..." Rong Guang continued without seeing the surprised and puzzled eyes of the reporters. "We're all going to work hard to qualify."

※※※

"...When interviewed by reporters, Rong said that Manchester City is in the death group." Rong Guang's interview soon appeared on the major media, on the Internet, on TV and in newspapers.

"I think what he said is right. For Manchester City, this group is indeed the group of death! If you enter, you will die..."

"Rong said he was very confident. For himself, it is okay for him to be so confident, but football is not a one-man sport. If you want to win, you can't always rely on your own personal heroism. You still have to rely on the help of your teammates. But the overall strength of Manchester City really can't make people have any hope for them..."

"As Manchester City's top star, we think Rong said this mainly to appease the hearts of Manchester City players and fans. At least let them have hope. Before the game, the team really needs this kind of hope. But I think when the group stage starts, they will soon find out that hope is useless..."

"I looked at the schedule. Manchester City's first group match is against Bayern Munich at home. This is a game that may disillusion many Manchester City fans..."

"I noticed another thing... Rong's original words were 'We will all work hard to qualify'. He didn't say that he would definitely qualify, but used such a tone... This is a subconscious language choice. Maybe he himself is not as confident as he has shown?"

……

Deborah spread her hands to Rong Guang and said with a smile, "Your words have been misinterpreted again."

Rong Guang curled his lips helplessly: "Let them go. Anyway, I can't play those reporters with lip service, and they can say whatever they say. But it's useless to just talk, you still have to watch the game. When the game comes, they will naturally believe what I say. Sneijder said that Real Madrid is not as strong as it seems. Based on what I know about Bayern Munich, I think Bayern Munich is not as strong as people think..."
