Every year at the end of August, the Grimaldi Convention Centre in Monaco is the focus of football fans from all over the world.

The annual draw for the Champions League group stage takes place here, along with UEFA's annual awards ceremony.

Yang Yang has been the protagonist of the Grimalty Congress Center for the past few years, and this year is no different.

With the long-distance run that beat Atletico Madrid two days ago, Yang Yang completely conquered the discerning European football world, making everyone praise him, so much so that when he appeared at the Grimalti Convention Center, not only the fans outside were shouting about him, but also the football people in the conference center were talking about him.

Those who know each other come over to say hello, and those who are not familiar will also nod their heads from afar.

Today's Yang Yang has already won a transcendent position in European football with his brilliant achievements in the past few years.

Of course, there will definitely be some extreme fans who look at him with racist eyes, but these are not the mainstream, and more fans and football people still admire the strong.

This is also the reality of professional football, where the strong is king!

However, this year's European Player of the Year must not have a chance with Yang Yang, because in the Champions League final last season, Barcelona defeated Bayern Munich 2-1 with Messi's brace, and finally won the Champions League after a few years.

This is also the first Champions League title in Messi's career, so the Argentine is particularly excited.

Predictably, he will be the protagonist of the evening.

UEFA was very worried that Yang Yang would be absent, and Platini also called Yang Yang privately, but Yang Yang smiled and said that he would not be absent and would definitely come to the scene to congratulate Messi on winning the award.

The reason is simple, for him, it is both a demeanor and a motivation at the same time.

Watching Messi win the award will make Yang Yang more combative.

The number of live votes for the top three of Europe's Player of the Year was very close, with Messi taking 21 votes, Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery taking 17 votes and Yang Yang getting 15 votes, as Yang Yang won the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey again last season, as well as the European Golden Boot.

Over the years, he has always considered the European Golden Boot to be his own, even last season.

When Platini announced that Messi had won the award, Yang Yang also stood up very gracefully, congratulated Messi on winning the award, and hugged him at the same time, behaving quite freely, because he has won this award for many years.

It's not that he doesn't care, he just doesn't take it too seriously.

……

Ahead of the award of Europe's Player of the Year, the results of the Champions League group stage draw have also been released.

Real Madrid were drawn in Group B, with old rivals Juventus drawn in Pot 2, Galatasaray in Pot 3 and Copenhagen in Denmark in Pot 4.

Needless to say, Juventus, the overall strength is not bad, this Serie A hegemon after sweeping the Serie A, ambitious to make a difference in the Champions League, from the current point of view, the strength is good, but to say that it can shake Real Madrid, it is still a little difficult.

Of course, Real Madrid itself can't be careless, once the performance is not good, or the state is low, it is likely to fall at the feet of Juventus, which is quite troublesome.

Turkey's Galatasaray is also strong, sitting on Turkey's devil's home field, the team also has Drogba and other famous players, the overall strength is not bad, and last season also reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which shows that this Turkish team is still quite competitive.

As for Copenhagen in the fourth pot, this team has nearly half of the Danish national team, and the strength is not bad, and the European experience is very rich, and it is worth noting that the Nordic winter is early, which will be a big challenge for Spain's Real Madrid and Italy's Juventus, especially to Denmark in the ice and snow.

On the whole, Real Madrid's strength is the most promising group leader, but it must not be careless, Juventus is sitting on the two-eye, if the results against Real Madrid are good, the Bianconeri may not have the opportunity to step on Real Madrid.

As for Galatasaray, their own strength is not enough to compete for the top spot in the group, but the strength of the group second is still there, especially considering that Juventus will be like Manchester City last season, the group stage results are sluggish?

Copenhagen still accompanies the prince to study, but their strength makes everyone dare not underestimate them, and it is unlikely that they will hit the right to qualify, but they still have the ability to disrupt the situation.

……

After the draw ceremony, as is customary, Yang Yang and the club's representative Butragueno were interviewed by media reporters at the scene.

For the draw, Yang Yang smiled and expressed his satisfaction.

"Actually, we don't care who we draw because our goal is always clear, no one can stop us, we will definitely get out of the group and we will definitely go all the way."

After fully expressing his strong confidence, Yang Yang cautiously said that the team needs to pay attention.

'No one can guarantee 100 per cent qualification, and we can't, so we need to play every game, whether it's Juventus, Galatasaray or Copenhagen, it's a very difficult team.

And when the reporter wanted Yang Yang to comment on the three opponents, the first thing Yang Yang mentioned was Galatasaray.

'They have a very strong home stadium and a lot of passion from the fans, we played away last season and it was a memorable and very difficult game at the same time, so I think we need to learn from it and take it more seriously.

"I don't think we have a record of playing against Copenhagen, right? No? Yes, I don't think so, but it's another way of proving that we don't know our opponents, that's their advantage, and the Nordic climate is going to be a big challenge for us. ”

Yang Yang feels that Juventus does not need to say more, this is a very strong team.

"I just flipped through the schedule, after Juventus in the group stage, we will play Barcelona right away, and I think it's a scary schedule." Yang Yang said jokingly.

There is no doubt about it, because everyone knows that Juventus and Real Madrid are the battle for the top spot in the group, while Real Madrid and Barcelona are the derby of the century, and in a way, both games will determine the direction of Real Madrid on both fronts.

What's more, both opponents are strong.

It's a problem, especially considering that there are two weeks of international action in October.

However, Yang Yang changed his words and smiled confidently: "It is precisely because of the horror that it is particularly challenging. ”

After a pause, Yang Yang continued, "Before I came to Monaco, my teammates told me, relax, don't be nervous, no matter who the opponent is drawn, there is only one final result, we will win!" ”

…………

…………

After attending the event in Monaco, Yang Yang rushed back to Madrid non-stop.

At the weekend, Real Madrid ushered in the third round of La Liga, hosting Athletic Bilbao.

Barcelona were ahead of the third round with Barcelona facing Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup, and they beat Valencia 3-2 away thanks to Messi's hat-trick.

The Bats chased two goals in a row in the second half and even almost tied the score, but in the end they couldn't do a miracle.

……

In Real Madrid's match against Athletic Bilbao, Carlo Ancelotti made changes to the starting line-up.

The goalkeeper is Iker Casillas, the back line is Marcelo, Vermaelen, Ramos and Carvajal, the midfield is Isco, Xavi Martinez and Luka Modric, and the front trident is Eden Hazard, Yang Yang and Di Maria.

Isco has been quite eye-catching in the period since joining Real Madrid, only a little bleak against Atletico Madrid, but Ancelotti still arranged for him to start this game against the Basque Lions.

The Spanish midfielder is characterized by agility and strong dribbling ability, especially when he gets rid of it, which is very good, but there are also many shortcomings, that is, the rhythm is slow, too fond of dribbling and sticking to the ball, and sometimes it will seriously slow down the team's counterattack.

But he has been in hot form recently, David Silva is still adjusting, and Ancelotti has no reason not to use Isco.

Sure enough, after the opening, Isco was very active again.

In the 26th minute, Yang Yang retreated to receive the ball and picked up a pass behind him, Isco successfully countered offside and hit a shot in the penalty area, opening the scoring for Real Madrid and scoring a goal.

In the stoppage time of the first half, Di Maria cooperated with Carvajal on the right side and sent a cross, Yang Yang arrived in front of the goal, and scored with a header, which made another goal for Real Madrid, 2-0.

After the rematch in the second half, Real Madrid once again maintained the advantage on the field.

In the 53rd minute, after Yang Yang received the ball, he forcibly broke through to the edge of the penalty area, and when he could get up and hit the goal, he resolutely chose to pass to Di Maria, who was in a better position and had no one to defend at the same time, and the Argentines easily pushed the empty goal to expand the score to 3-0.

In the 72nd minute, it was Yang Yang who pulled to the left side, and after a cooperation with Hazard, he forced a breakthrough on the left side of the penalty area with the ball, and crossed from the bottom, and Isco in the middle followed up and hit a volley, further expanding the score for Real Madrid, 4-0!

Then, in the 79th minute, Athletic Bilbao pulled a goal back for the Basque Lions through a quick counter-attack, Demarcos crossed from the left side of Real Madrid, and the unguarded Gomez pushed the ball back.

In the end, Real Madrid beat Athletic Bilbao 4-1 on their home turf with Isco's brace, Yang Yang's hat-trick of assists and a goal, playing the best start of the season.

However, Atletico Madrid also defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 away in this round and continued to win three in a row.

As a result, the top three in La Liga all started with three consecutive wins, and they all performed very strongly.

In the scorer list, Messi leads La Liga with eight goals and scored two consecutive hat-tricks, while Yang Yang has only scored three goals so far, the same number of goals as new signing Isco, but also has three assists.

So much so that after this round of battles, many media believe that European football is ushering in an era that belongs to Barcelona and Messi.
