Cluj Don't want to run the risk of playing Rennes and having Son kept in the pocket of a player named Soppy. Imagine the bloody headlines
Did you not watch the tedious explanation before. They are separating teams in the Europa and Conference Leagues playing in the same country and on the same night.
We've definitely got the tougher opposition with Rennes and Vitesse but with that we've got the lesser travel too so swings and roundabouts I guess. Mura complete the group with a trip to Slovenia. They'll likely be the whipping boys of the group. All in all can't complain, could've been a lot worse.
I think that's a decent draw, we may need to put out a better side than some of us were suggesting previously, but we should have a big enough squad to be competitive, would like the trip to Slovenia to be last so that we can get the group won and send the kids, but you just know that we never do things the easy way.
Let's see if their footballers have as bad an understanding of what a handball is as their referees do...
Slovenian team. Won the league last season. Got knocked out of the Champions League qualifiers by Ludogorets and the Europa by Sturm Graz. Never won anything until this year and are a phoenix club for a bankrupt one, who also didn't win ****.
Our group has the look of a Europa league group from years gone by, looking at the all the teams involved I am not sure that it is a huge step down in quality from the other competition. I was looking at the Europa draw and thinking that it looks easier this year, but still a good number of Champions in there just seems to be fewer big names.
