Chapter 948 - Best Goalkeeper

After hearing Severin's introduction, the people at the scene were more aware of the situation of this subdivision, and Jiang Chen, who was sitting next to Ancelotti, even saw Ancelotti record the situation of this subdivision in his small notebook.

Carlo Ancelotti was really careful and very well prepared.

Napoli did not qualify directly to the round of 32 of the Champions League this season, but they have performed very well in previous seasons, and their points are high, so they naturally entered the first tier and became a seeded team.

At this time, the secretary general of UEFA, Severin, immediately said: "Okay, I know you can't wait now, so let's stop talking and start the draw for this season's UEFA Champions League group stage." ”

Jiang Chen and the guests at the scene immediately applauded warmly, and the atmosphere of the scene came up all of a sudden.

After the applause, the scene suddenly fell silent, because everyone knew that the next thing was the beginning of the highlight of the evening, and they were silent and looking forward to the arrival of the event.

Seeing the serious and expectant expressions of the guests, Severin smiled slightly, and then said: "Now we welcome the former Portuguese national team superstar Figo, who is the guest of the draw for the first team in the Champions League this season, and he will also announce who will win the best goalkeeper in the Champions League last season?" ”

Just as Severin's words fell, the scene immediately burst into thunderous applause.

Amid this applause, former Portuguese national team superstar Figo, dressed in a formal suit, stepped onto the podium.

Jiang Chen in the audience looked up at Figo on the stage, and his heart was also excited, today's highlight is really about to begin.

As soon as Figo came to the stage, he immediately stepped forward to shake Severin's hand, and after shaking hands, Severin gave up his place to Figo, and two blonde and blue-eyed hostesses came up with two trays, one with an envelope on top and the other with a trophy.

Figo immediately took out the envelope from the tray of another hostess, and he opened it in public, but he secretly watched it by himself, and after peeking for a while, Figo had a smile on his face.

At this time, Ter Stegen, De Gea and Donnarumma were very nervous, because the three of them were nominated for the best goalkeeper in the Champions League last season, and this award was produced among the three of them, and they naturally hoped that they could win the award, and they were very nervous.

Jiang Chen is also speculating about who of these three will win the award, in his opinion, he is more optimistic about Donnarumma, Donnarumma performed very well in the Champions League last season, but Donnarumma is not the goalkeeper of the championship team, which has a great impact on him.

It was at this moment that Figo, who was on the podium, immediately announced: "The winner of the best goalkeeper in the UEFA Champions League last season was ......"

The scene immediately fell silent, and everyone below stared at Figo with anticipation.

Figo smiled slightly, deciding not to tease everyone, he said directly: "Congratulations to David De Gea from Manchester United in the Premier League, who won the best goalkeeper award in the UEFA Champions League last season. ”

De Gea was very excited, he immediately stood up, to be honest, he didn't expect him to win the award, in his opinion, this award probably belongs to Ter Stegen, because last season Barcelona was the champion of the Champions League, Ter Stegen as the goalkeeper of the champion team, he naturally has the best chance of winning.

De Gea genuinely felt a bit of a surprise to receive this award.

The rest of the audience was also shocked, they didn't expect it to be De Gea, but De Gea also performed well in the Champions League last season and he was able to accept the award.

Jiang Chen directly applauded warmly and gave the applause to De Gea, and the scene also resounded with warm applause.

Amid applause, the goalkeeper from Spain walked up to the podium excitedly and was thrilled to receive the trophy representing the best goalkeeper in last season's UEFA Champions League from Figo.

Then, Figo said: "Now we have our best goalkeeper to say a couple of words to everyone! ”

De Gea immediately came to the microphone and he was very honored and proud to be in this position, he looked at the audience excitedly, he was very excited, and then he said: "Thank you very much, I feel very honored to be able to win this award, I also know that my opponents are very strong, it is not easy to win this award, I am here to thank everyone, thank you for your support, thank you!" ”

Thunderous applause immediately erupted, in which Szczesny bowed deeply to the guests before he stepped down.

After sending off last season's Champions League best goalkeeper Szczesny, Figo stood in front of the microphone, and at this time, the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared closely at the stage.

In the next season's UEFA Champions League, the draw ceremony for the group stage will officially begin, and as the first guest to take the stage, Figo will draw the first team and group the first team.

The draw rules for the UEFA Champions League group are like this, and the teams under the same football association are to be avoided here, which means that the teams under the same league will not meet at this time and will not be placed in the same group.

Of course, the team in the first tier of the draw now will naturally not encounter this problem, so there is no need to worry about it at this time, everyone is engrossed in staring at Figo on the stage.

At this time, the personnel of the first-tier team are very concerned about the current situation, and Ancelotti and Jiang Chen are very concerned, because their Napoli team is also a first-tier team.

At this moment, Severin immediately said: "Now we have to ask Mr. Figo to help draw the first team. ”

Figo nodded immediately, and then walked over to the first-grade glass jar, and under everyone's gaze, Figo put his golden hand into the transparent glass jar, stirred, and he grabbed a random ball.

After grabbing the ball, Figo immediately unscrewed the ball and took out a folded piece of paper from it.

He looked up at the audience, and then slowly opened the piece of paper, he saw the content on it, he directly flipped the piece of paper over and faced the public, and instantly everyone in the audience saw the content on it clearly, Bayern Munich.

The people at the scene immediately understood that Bayern Munich was the first to be drawn out, and he was placed in Group A.
