From the Country Team To the Rich

  Chapter 489 Stinky Benali

  After the Europa League entered the round of 16, the brutal knockout round is about to begin.

  The Europa League’s group stage and knockout stage are completely two orders of magnitude.

  The intensity of competition in the group stage is not high, and after entering the knockout rounds, the strong teams in each group stand out, and there are eight teams eliminated in the Champions League and the second place in the Europa League to compete for the remaining eight places.

  It can be said that from the group stage to the knockout stage, the intensity of the competition increased several levels in an instant.

  In the analysis of the media, the seeded team has also undergone major changes.

  The Red Factory in the Premier League, Meazza Milan in Serie A, Sevilla in La Liga, Liverpool in the Premier League, and Naples in Serie A have become the favorite teams to win the championship.

  For this report, the German media was very upset. Hoffenheim's performance in the Europa League group stage was so good, why didn't he be selected as a seeded team?

  This is not only an insult to Hoffenheim, but also a contempt for the Bundesliga.

  However, relevant media have also given explanations.

  They said that Hoffenheim’s performance in the group stage can indeed be described as amazing, but it was a group stage after all.

  After entering the knockout rounds, the strength of the Europa League has to be improved by several levels, and Hoffenheim’s performance has to be a question mark.

  Furthermore, it is the first time Hoffenheim has participated in the European war. Their adaptability is not enough. When facing a strong team, their flexibility is not known.

  It can only be said that so far, Hoffenheim has played too smoothly, and the media has no way of knowing their performance in the difficult situation.

  Especially those veteran giants, one by one, they have a lot of background, and they have never seen any battles.

  When faced with these teams, whether Hoffenheim can stand out is also a mystery.

  In this case, the Europa League knockout draw also began.

  On January 15th, UEFA headquarters is about to hold the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League knockout draw.

  For this draw, UEFA invited Benali, a German meritorious player, to be the guest of the draw.

  At the same time, a bar in Hoffenheim, Germany is also very lively.

   "Lawrence, here is another bottle of wine!"

  A young man yelled, and he responded with a particularly grumpy roar.

  "Go get it yourself, and put the money on the table!"

  At this time, Lawrence, wearing Hoffenheim's jersey, holding a small flag in his hand, is looking nervously at the TV on the wall of the bar.

  Old Dink saw this scene and couldn't help but laughed; "Man, the lottery hasn't started yet."

   "I know, but I'm just nervous." Lawrence said with a tangled face; "Eight of the UEFA Champions League knockout teams, seven have entered the Europa League knockout stage. The second place in the Europa League group stage is really too wasteful."

  Old Dink said helplessly; "There is no way, we have to admit that the European Union is still a long way from the Champions League."

"Sevilla, Meazza Milan, Lisbon Sports, Marce, Rennes, Benfica, these six teams have enough headaches, there is even Tottenham United, the Premier League second, this UEFA Europa League Damn it!" Lawrence cursed.

  Mrs. Wendy also sighed: "How do I feel that the second in the group is better than the first in the group?"

  The others nodded silently.

  Not only Lawrence and others, but other places in the bar also complain about this phenomenon.

   "I feel that the Europa League knockout matches are for the UEFA Champions League elimination team."

   "The intensity of the game has increased too much, can we stand it?"

   "Seven bad draws + one signed, Goddess of Luck bless Hoffenheim."

  At this time, the TV screen was a fan, and after the last commercial, the UEFA logo appeared.

  The whole bar suddenly quieted down. Everyone knew that the exciting knockout draw was about to begin.

  A large number of reporters and officials from various regional football associations gathered around the scene. Two lottery boxes and aluminum **** were placed on the stage.

  At the very beginning, it was the Europa League draw. The guests of the draw will draw a team from two different boxes to become their opponents.

  Under the attention of everyone, the draw guest Benali appeared on the stage.

  In the entire Brave Bar, the fans of Hoffenheim cheered collectively.

  Benari is a hero of German football. For every German fan, he is a symbol of totem.

   "Blessed Benali, we must draw a good lottery!"

  "We want Malmo, we want Malmo!"

  "God bless us with Malmö!"

   Obviously compared to other teams, although Malmo successfully entered the knockout round, he is still the softest persimmon.

  Benari finally came to the lottery box and drew an aluminum ball from the box on the left (first in the group).

  When he unscrewed the sphere, he took out a piece of paper from the inside and spread it toward the lens.

   Premier League-Red Factory!

  Immediately, he drew an aluminum ball from the box on the right.

  I saw Benali's face slightly embarrassed as he spread out towards the camera.

   Ruichao-Malmo!

  At this moment, the mentality of Hoffenheim's fans collapsed.

  The soft persimmon was taken away, shit! Benali's is such a stinky hand!

  Not only Hoffenheim fans, but also other Europa League first teams.

  So, their opponents are only those seven teams eliminated in the Champions League.

  The most important thing is that none of these seven is difficult to deal with.

  If one is not good, it is not necessarily true that all the first in the group will fall!

  This is pretty awkward!

  Benari continued to draw lots, and teams were drawn out one by one, which also gradually overloaded the hearts of Hoffenheim fans.

  Today, a total of three groups have been determined.

  Respectively:

   Group A-Premier League Red Factory VS Swiss Super Malmo.

   Group B-Turkey Super Fenerbahçe VS Serie A Meazza Milan.

   Group C-Belgium Bruges VS Premier League Tottenham United.

   And next, Benari drew out La Liga's Valencia.

  This makes the Hoffenheim team even more uncomfortable.

  Because the opponent they least want to meet has not yet been taken away.

  Benari began to draw Valencia's opponent.

  When the team logo appeared on the TV, someone in the bar suddenly cheered.

   "I was taken away! Beautiful, Benali did a beautiful job!"

  It's just that, except for this person, everyone is sitting there, without cheering in unison.

  The man looked at everyone and said, "Hey! Guys, Sevilla has been taken away, shouldn't we cheer?"

  At this time, Lawrence turned his head and asked: "Which division does Seville belong to?"

  That humanity; "La Liga!"

   Lawrence continued to ask: "Where is Valencia?"

   "West Forehead!" The person finally reacted.

  The principle of avoidance in the same competition area, so the crisis has not been resolved.

  At this time, everyone once again turned their eyes to the TV.

  On the TV, Benali has put his hand in the lottery box on the left.

  At this moment, all Hoffenheim fans are praying.

  Don’t be us!

  Goddess of luck bless!

  Everyone stared at the TV.

  They watched Benali take out the aluminum ball, unscrew it, and glanced at it first.

  I saw his face changed suddenly.

  At this moment, the hearts of Hoffenheim fans shook.

  Benari smiled bitterly and turned his wrist outwards and pointed the note at the camera.

  The note clearly says ‘Hoffenheim’.

  At this moment, Hoffenheim fans felt extremely uncomfortable.

  Benari!

  Dog thief!

  You stink!
