Gareth. Gareth Bale played all of the qualifiers with the belief that he would have to go to Spain, and Wales withstood the pressure of their pursuers in the final two rounds to qualify directly for the European Championship finals as group runners-up.

The result was a huge repercussion in Wales, and they finally reached the European Championship finals for the first time since 1976. They finished in the quarter-finals of that European Championship and the Welsh press are hoping that this time under Bale and Ramsey, the team will be able to draw at least the best result in history.

On the night of the qualification, Bell called Donn, and it was very noisy on the other end of the phone, but Don could still hear Bell's hoarse roar: "Boss! We're in Spain! We're in Spain! ”

There seemed to be someone next to him shouting: "Spain! Spain!! ”

Don knew they were celebrating this rare victory, so he didn't bother much, and with Bell's current situation, he might not be able to listen to what he said. Simply hung up the phone with a congratulations.

Although Wales can qualify for the European Championship finals this time, it is thanks to the big expansion of the European Championship, from 16 teams to 24 teams. Still, the Welsh have a reason to revel.

Completely different from the national carnival in Wales, England is relatively calm about qualifying. After all, they are regulars in the European Championships, and if they can't make it to Spain, they should be in the headlines. Don was able to lead the team to qualify two rounds early, and he only completed the first task.

The next European Championship finals will be the real test.

At the end of November, a two-legged play-off between the six best third-placed teams in the group decided the final three teams to advance.

Then in Nyon, Switzerland, the heads of 24 teams gathered for the draw and grouping ceremony hosted by UEFA.

The draw ceremony Tang En participated in a lot, even the draw ceremony of the national team was no different. At most, I got to know a few more coaches who coach in the national team. And he himself is still the focus of the media's attention.

Two days before the draw, a list of European Championship groupings appeared on the Internet, supposedly leaked from within UEFA. Regardless of whether the list is true or not, it quickly attracted the attention of the media, and the news on the Internet immediately became the voice of the mainstream media.

The reporters who came to interview him also asked Donn this question, because England were not in a good group in this list - they were placed in a strong group.

In the final stage of the European Championship, the seeded teams are determined first, and all participating teams are divided by the total number of games they have played in the previous World Cup qualifiers, the previous tournament and the current European Championship qualifiers. The host nation and the defending champions will qualify directly for seeding, while the remaining seeded teams will be drawn from the first pot.

In this grouping list that is rumored to be an "internal leaked version". England are seeded in Group D, alongside Sweden, Germany and Denmark.

Germany's second-tier team was not surprising as they did not perform well in the last European Championship qualifier between Poland and Ukraine, and only qualified for the finals through a play-off at the last minute. However, as a traditional powerhouse in Europe that is rare in the second bracket, it is really England's "luck" that they were able to meet England.

Reporters are eager to hear what Donn thinks of the leaked version of the list, which they previously interviewed Germany's head coach Summer, who believes the list was made up by journalists. No evaluation. Then they went to interview Sweden coach Roland. Anderson, Anderson's answer is exactly the same as Summer's.

But it's also common sense.

The group draw is a very important thing, and now a "leaked version" has been circulated before the draw ceremony has started, which head coach dares to comment at will? They don't even know if it's true or not, so how can they judge this list?

But the reporters know Tony. What kind of person is Donne. His big mouth had been silent for more than a year, and it was time for it to shine.

Don didn't disappoint them either.

He didn't seem to doubt the authenticity of the list, and then took the trouble to comment on his "group rivals".

"Germany are a strong team and I know the feud between England and Germany...... England and Sweden's all-time record is nothing to boast about. We need to be careful...... Denmark are a tough team, I played them in qualifying, I didn't expect to meet again this time, they are a difficult team to play again, just look at our results against them in qualifying, one win, one draw, be careful......"

A reporter finally couldn't hold it anymore, and he asked bluntly: "Mr. Donne." Aren't you all prepared to comment on the list itself? ”

Don pretended to be surprised: "Is there anything wrong with this list?" ”

"Allegedly this is a leaked version of ......"

Don interrupted the reporter with a laugh: "Whether it's the European Champions Cup or the European Cup, which time didn't this 'leaked version' come out before the game?" And we're always going to find out after the draw that the leaked version is a bit similar to the final official version......"

"Mr. Donn, do you mean that the draw has already been decided by UEFA?"

The reporters shouted excitedly, and they finally heard the voice they wanted to hear the most.

Donn's face was immediately pulled down, and he glared at the reporter who asked the question: "I didn't say anything like that, and if you think I said it in the report, I will keep the right to accuse you of slandering me." Mr. Journalist. ”

The atmosphere immediately cooled down.

Donn took the opportunity to break out of the circle of reporters. Walked into the conference site.

There he and his immediate boss, FA CEO Sean Brown. Barclays met.

"So many reporters are around you. What are you asking? He glanced warily at the excited reporters at the door. He was worried that Donn was making a big deal out again.

"What else can it be as a leaked version of the lottery results?" Don asked casually.

"You didn't say anything, did you? Mr. Donn. Mr. Barclay was visibly nervous.

Donn grinned, "What are you worried about, Mr. Barclay?" ”

Barclay didn't have a good idea of how to break it, he frowned and patted Donn on the shoulder: "Let's go." Mr. Donn. The draw ceremony is about to begin. ”

Unlike the leaked version, England were not placed in Group D, but in Group C. This makes many people even more convinced that the leaked version of the group draw results is fabricated, because there will be more or less similar rumors before each competition, and everyone is used to it.

After all the seeding teams are arranged, the teams in the second pot will be drawn.

When it was Group C's turn, the draw guest was Raul, a former Madrid flag from Spain. Gonzalez held up the ping pong ball in his hand. He pulled out the note placed in the ball and read out the name on it, and at the same time, the note in his hand appeared on the large screen behind him.

"Germany. ”

There was a burst of boos at the scene.

The camera swept over where the managers had done and pinpointed Tony. Don, only to find that he put his finger in his mouth, and he was shushing.

If it weren't for everyone's Tony. Don En's image has long been familiar to me, and I'm afraid that he will now think that he is a passer-by who is making a fuss. and not one of the parties......

"Mr. Donn!" Barclay, who was sitting next to him, waited for Don with an unhappy expression.

Don glanced at him and booed a few more times. His shrill boos could be heard clearly on the television broadcast.

After doing this, he took his hand out of his mouth and wiped it on his suit very unfiguratively. "What's the matter, Mr. Barclay?"

"Watch your image......" Barclay said weakly.

Donn smiled, "Okay, Mr. Barclay. ”

The commotion caused by the draw lasted for a while before it died down. When someone looks back to see what the England manager has to say about the result, they see him booing. Who knows if this is an excited boo or a disgruntled boo...... But it doesn't matter, the media will arrange a line for him.

I believe that those senior UEFA officials sitting on the rostrum must have also seen this scene. No way, who called Tony just at that moment. Don is the center of attention?

The German Summer, however, was a little unhappy with this result. He frowned, his face solemn. Perhaps, he was also a little unhappy with this attitude of Donn - this Englishman is too frivolous!

The caressing Englishman sat in his place at this time, looking at German football legend Beckenbauer who walked up to the draw with a smile on his face.

He will be drawn from Group C in the third pot.

The results he drew were somewhat disappointing to the excited media, because it was not Sweden as expected, but Portugal.

Donn laughed below, Portugal is stronger than Sweden. If it weren't for their poor performance in this qualifier and the fact that they didn't break into the World Cup in Brazil. How is it possible to be classified into the third tier......

The appearance of the team in the fourth tier made Donn show a slightly surprised expression for the first time.

"Wales. The presenter pronounced the somewhat boring name.

Donn's brow jumped.

He didn't expect that he and the little monkey would be reunited so soon.

Due to the expansion of the European Championships, the group stage has been increased from four to six, so that the possibility of "strong dialogue" in the group stage is much lower. So England became a veritable "group of death" in this group.

It's not much different from the previous "leaked version". At the very least, England and Germany were indeed separated.

As soon as the lottery was over, the media surrounded Don again.

Seeing that he was about to be squeezed out by the swarming reporters, Barclay hurriedly reminded Don in his ear: "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Donn!" ”

"I'm not a kid......" Donn muttered disgruntled to the media.

Done knows that England and Germany have always looked down on each other when it comes to football, and being humble is not going to win favor at this time.

“…… We are not afraid of Germany. 'Group of Death'? I'm not worried. It's the European Cup. It's all strong teams, and I don't think there's anything wrong with teams like Germany, Portugal and Wales...... Our goal is to win the championship. No champion has ever been able to touch the ...... of the belly of the fish all the way."

His words were very powerful. In particular, he even publicly stated that his team's goal is to "win the championship". There was a burst of discussion in the crowd of reporters.

Tomorrow's headline for catching the eye is already there - "England Champions, Tony. Don himself admitted.

However, for the results of this draw, reporters still have something to ask: "Mr. Donn, there is a leaked version before the draw about the results of this draw, England also happened to be in a group with Germany, may I ask ......"

Don knew what the reporter was rambling to ask, so he immediately straightened up and said, "Isn't that normal?" In six groups, Germany have a 1 in 6 chance of being placed in Group C as the second-tier team. I think it's normal. There is nothing wrong here. ”

The reporters were unrelenting, and wanted to hear something exciting from his mouth. Tang En was reluctant to be a gun envoy for others, and he always replied to Tai Chi for such questions, and he just didn't answer them positively.

The reporters blocked Donn for a while, and seeing that this time they couldn't get the answer they wanted anyway, they had to give up and let him go.

But the phrase "our goal is to win the championship" alone is enough to attract attention. That's right, England have always been considered a European powerhouse. However, there are probably a lot of people who despise them, and many people think that the "strong team" has to add "double quotation marks", and the pseudo-strong team is about the same. What's more, the draw results of this group have only come out, and there is still half a year before the start of the European Cup. Don just shouted the slogan "Our goal is to win the championship" so loudly, and he didn't think about the changes that might occur in the next six months, what if the core players were not in shape? What if the main players are injured and can't play? He's making enemies for himself......

But that's Donn's own trouble, and those of us who do the media just need to attract attention.

The next day, the major sports media really began to hype Don Dundy's big mouth. Donn's large photograph with the phrase "Our goal is the champion" is really impressive.

Others may have thought it was a joke, but he said it...... No one else can laugh. ”

Get acquainted with Tony. Don's people will definitely have such an idea when they see this title.

England fans are also delighted to have such a confident manager that perhaps it will no longer be a dream for the English capital to lift the Delaunay Cup at next year's European Championships.

Don is out of the limelight, Sean. Barclay had a headache.

At the same time that Donn's victory announcement appeared in the major newspapers, he also received a phone call from UEFA president Michel Platini.

The call was simple, with Platini reminding Barclay as a personal friend. Take care of Tony. Donn's mouth. When he spoke to reporters yesterday before the draw ceremony, UEFA is not deaf and knows it. He didn't want to hear this man question UEFA's impartiality again.

Unlike his predecessors, the new FA CEO is looking for ways to repair the relationship between the English FA and UEFA, which have always targeted England and have been making a lot of messy policies over the years.

Naturally, he didn't want Donn's big mouth to affect his "friendship" with Platini and also ruin the relationship between the FA and UEFA.

A few months ago, he boasted triumphantly in Denmark about how successful his control of Donn was. Now he realizes that he has such an unruly manager. What a headache it is.

If someone could get Tony. Don is honest and obedient. If you are meek like a sheep, then this person must be God......
