Chapter 573: Champions League Draw (Part I)
Before Ai Huan arrived, he always thought that the schedule of this year's Champions League was ahead of schedule, and when he arrived, he realized that this year's schedule had not changed, but the organization was ahead of schedule, which is why the draw ceremony was held before August.

This year, it has not become more grand or simpler because of this, everything is held step by step, heroes from all walks of life are all dressed up, looking like the Oscars of football, those superstars who usually just wear jerseys have already put on suits at this time, and they all look very energetic.
The 2010 European Ballon d'Or came to an end, and after merging with the World Footballer of the Year award, the highest honour in football became the FIFA Ballon d'Or, for which UEFA created the European Player of the Year and the new European Ballon d'Or this year, which is jointly awarded by UEFA and the European Sports Media Federation.
Last year, Ai Fan not only became the European Golden Boot, but also became the top scorer in the Champions League with 15 goals, which also made him deservedly selected for the best team and became one of the three candidates.
Before entering the stadium, Ai Huan also accepted a brief interview, which has always been a habit, and the two hottest candidates in football are naturally the hottest in football with Ai Huan, Messi and Ronaldo, they are also standing nearby for interviews.
"Ai Huan, you were brilliant last year, and you became the first Chinese to enter the shortlist with your excellent performance, how do you feel about this?" The questions are also the most ordinary, these are not real journalists, but sent by the UEFA press office, and they naturally do not ask some difficult questions to answer.
Of course, Ai Fan also replied in the most common way: "I feel very honored to be selected, this is the highest honor in European football, but I feel that I am still too young, and I am still a little flattered to be put together with Messi and Ronaldo." β
After the three of them were interviewed, they took a group photo together, because the height of Ai Huan and Ronaldo is a little different from Messi, so in order to look good, they also stood by Messi's side left and right, but this group photo also contrasted with the results of this selection, Messi became the biggest winner this time without any suspense, Ai Huan's votes ranked last, but it was only two votes less than Ronaldo, and everyone still felt a little uncomfortable with his sudden rise.
After the photo, Ronaldo suddenly smiled and asked Ai Huan: "Are you interested in playing in Real Madrid?" β
Ai Huan was stunned for a moment, and then responded with a smile: "Actually, we Schalke also lack players like you." β
Messi and Ai Huan had played each other on the pitch before, and they didn't agree with some of this person's words, so they didn't chat with Ai Huan, just smiled and left.
Looking at the back of Messi leaving, Ronaldo laughed more than once: "You played amazing, but we didn't have a chance to play each other, it's a pity for me, I hope we can play each other on the field this season." It's also your position that is fixed in the back, otherwise there may be no Messi in this season's best team. β
Since last season's Champions League Team of the Year has been announced, the players of the Team of the Year have also been photographed together. Many fans also took out their mobile phones to take pictures, which is an extremely precious moment for many people, and it also reminds people of the evaluation of these people on the official UEFA website.
The goalkeeper is the old acquaintance Van der Sar, because this veteran has played an irreplaceable role in Manchester United's Champions League final, and has maintained a record of not conceding a goal for a long time.
Right-back Srna from Shakhtar Donsk Ukraine, who has five assists in nine games, the second-highest number of assists in the Champions League, is enough to tell you about his role in Shakhtar's first Champions League knockout stage, with the effective right-back only missing the second leg away to Barcelona due to injury.
The centre-back is from Barcelona's Gerard Pique, who has been a mainstay of Barca's defence, especially in the absence of captain Puyol, who has used his experience to guide Sergio Busquets and Mascherano to the defensive tasks against Shakhtar and Real Madrid, and when they eliminated Real Madrid, Puyol has quickly developed into one of the best defenders in Europe.
The other centre-back is Nemanja Vidic, who has shown his good form almost all year round, with the exception of a mistake against Schalke and deserves to be in the best team.
Left-back from Real Madrid's Marcelo spent more time in the opposition half than his own before Real Madrid reached the Champions League semi-finals, and he played in all the games without a beat, as Mourinho likes to play two defensive midfielders, Marcelo can be more bold in attack, as evidenced by that goal against Lyon and his excellent performance.
The midfielder is still from Real Madrid's Mesut Ozil, and the elegant midfielder has once again proved his role as he lurks behind Real Madrid's lone striker, linking up team-mates Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo or Gonzalo Higuain with elegant dribbling and clever passing, as evidenced by his six assists topping the Champions League this season.
With no suspense in the midfield position, it was his outstanding performances that made Schalke reach the last four of the Champions League for the first time, and he was last season's top scorer with four assists.
The other midfielder is Andres Iniesta from Barcelona, although he only scored one goal, but in the first leg of the quarter-final against Shakhtar, he used silky smooth organization to keep the Barcelona midfield in order, he and Xavi are the source of all BarΓ§a's attacks, and the record of four assists is also quite good, not to mention that his team finally won the championship.
Another newcomer who has only emerged this year is Bale, who is from Tottenham. He was the star of the group stage, scoring a hat-trick in the second half away at Inter Milan that almost equalised and made him a phenomenal player, and at home two weeks later he continued to writhe Mcone at right-back, with his pace and quality of crosses making it difficult for defenders to deal with.
Messi has a place in the forward line, so what else do you want to say about Barcelona's number ten? Messi continues to attract attention with his outstanding performances, and his excellent performance against Real Madrid in the semi-finals is even more impressive, and I have to say that he is one of the best players at the moment.
