When Kieren Resville walked out of the Colchester United training base gate, he turned around and spat hard at the slightly crude and outdated gate.

This was not spitting at Colchester United, but the new youth training supervisor Paul Lambert.

He still remembers how Paul Lambert told him just ten minutes ago.

"...You have to be clear, Kieran Reesville, I didn't terminate your contract because you fought. But because you didn't meet the requirements of our team. You are eighteen years old, but your figure is as thin as fourteen. So I'm sorry, maybe professional football is not suitable for you..."

What a high-sounding sound... But Kieren Resville knew that the reason was very simple, just because he kicked Paul Lambert's "beloved disciple" Callum Christie.

After venting his anger, he carried his backpack and left the Colchester United training base gate without looking back.

But when he walked onto the road and waited for the bus, he began to feel confused.

He didn't know how he got to this point...

He was a Manchester native and loved playing football since he was a child. When he was thirteen, he was discovered by Colchester United scouts, which brought him to Esses in the south of England, and then he spent four years with the team.

He originally hoped to be a professional player here, but in fact he didn't have much ambitions. He had never thought about becoming an England international, nor did he think about participating in the World Cup, the Champions League or something. He just hoped to become a professional player who earns money from football to support himself and his family, no matter which team he played for... Of course, it would be even better if he could play in the Premier League.

In general, he is not the kind of person with great ambitions.

Fortunately, compared to ordinary people, he is still talented in football, and at least he should be able to support his vision, which is a very ordinary ideal.

After he turned 18, he had already been transferred to the Colchester United reserve team, and he stood firm, occasionally trained with the first team, and won the Best Apprentice Award in his first season.

Then that Paul Lambert's new coach came.

He brought many of his own players, all of whom he coached the team before, and the number was incredible. Then Kiren Reesville returned to the youth team.

Next, Lambert terminated many young players' contracts and said to Kiren Reesville: "I will observe you for a while."

He said this yesterday afternoon.

It seems that his time is measured in hours, which is different from other people who count 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?

Kiren was very frustrated, very frustrated.

He was really thin, he admitted that. When he first joined the Colchester United youth team, his body looked normal, no different from his peers around him.

But then when his teammates began to develop, his body gradually stopped growing. Until now, he is eighteen years old, only 1.6 meters tall, and looks like a child who has not grown up.

He had also visited a doctor, but the doctor told him that his final height was probably about 1.65 meters.

This is still a relatively optimistic estimate.

It is also possible that his height is frozen at 1.60 meters.

It is really difficult for this body to gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive English professional football world... He does not have particularly outstanding foot skills and his speed is not outstanding.

He thought of the last words Paul Lambert said.

Is professional football really not suitable for me?

Kieren Reesville sighed.

I was really lucky today. Last night, I saw that Manchester City, whom I have supported since I was a child, was assigned to such a group, which was a huge blow to him. You must know that when Manchester City entered the Champions League, he was happy for a long time.

Unexpectedly, this was the result in the end. Manchester City people were looking forward to the 39-year Champions League trip, but finally they watched it turn into a joke.

For this matter, he was still distracted during today's training.

Now he has been terminated for a fight with Callum.

Unlucky things are really one after another.

Today is the darkest day in his 18 years of life

When the bus arrived, he got on the bus with his head down and bowed his head. Next he was going to the train station, then back to Manchester and back to his home.

After being injured, where else can he go besides going home?

"Almost everyone is not optimistic about us..."

"Did you read the Manchester Evening News that came out this morning? It also felt that we had a draw..."

"Bayern Munich and Real Madrid will definitely qualify in the group. We seem to have to compete with Bordeaux for the qualifying for the Europa League knockout round..."

In the locker room of Carrington training base, Manchester City players who had just arrived at the training base were changing clothes while chatting. Their focus was naturally on the results of the just-concluded Champions League group draw.

"That's not necessarily." 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 he said the words.

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

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

Rong Guang shook his head: "No, I am the one who finally qualifies for this group, but it is not necessarily Real Madrid and Bayern Munich."

Everyone was stunned.

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

Everyone turned their heads to look at him again.

"Even if the whole world doesn't believe that we can qualify, we can't believe it ourselves." Sneider continued. "And I know Real Madrid, they are not as strong as they seem, otherwise why are they the second-level team, not the first-level team? Even teams like Lyon and Porto are the first-level team, but Real Madrid is not. Doesn't this tell the problem?"

Sneider said this very powerfully because he had played for Real Madrid before. He said he knew Real Madrid very well, so that was definitely not a joke.

Rongguang continued: "We worked so hard last season and finally came to the Champions League, but it was not just to go home for a walk in the group stage. So, no matter how strong the opponent is, we must qualify from this group."

After the training, Rongguang was surrounded by reporters, and everyone wanted to hear his views on the results of the Champions League draw last night.

As a result, Rongguang stunned the reporters as soon as he spoke.

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

Wait...What group of death?

The reporters didn't understand why the teams where Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Bordeaux and Manchester City are located are the Death Group.

The Death Group is either a strong team or a Death Group. The Death Group means that the four teams in this group have similar strengths. Anyone may qualify, and no one may not be able to qualify. The situation is complicated, so this is the Death Group...

What is the complexity of this group format? It is very clear and clear. Bayern Munich and Real Madrid must have qualified, and Bordeaux and Manchester City are both roles who accompany the prince to study.

The only problem lies in the group ranking.

So this is not a death group. This time, the group draw is actually not a true death group.

"...No matter who the opponent is, how strong it is..." Rongguang did not see the reporters' surprised and puzzled eyes and continued. "We will all strive to get out of the line

※※※

"...When interviewing with reporters, Rong said that Manchester City was in the group of death." Rong Guang's interview soon appeared in major media, online, TV and newspapers.

"I think what he said is right. For Manchester City, this group is indeed a group of death and you have to die if you enter..."

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

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

"I looked at the schedule. Manchester City's first group match was to face Bayern Munich at home. This is a game that may be shattered by many Manchester City fans..."

"I noticed another thing Rong's original words were saying, 'We will all strive to get out. He didn't say that he would definitely get out, but used such a tone... This is a subconscious choice of language. Maybe he himself is not as confident as he shows?"

Debola spread her hands to Rongguang and smiled, "Your words have been misinterpreted again."

Rong Guang curled his lips helplessly: "Let them go. Anyway, I can't play with the reporters, and everything they say is up to them. But just talking is useless, and I still have to watch the game. When it comes to the game, they will naturally believe what I say. Sneijder and Munich are not as strong as people think..."
