The five-goal victory over Barcelona made Real Madrid the focus of public opinion in European football again.

Yang Yang staged a big four joy in this focus battle, and he won all the applause for him.

On the day after playing Barcelona, after the team assembled at noon, they flew to Monaco on a special plane to prepare for the UEFA Super Cup, and many core players, including Yang Yang, were invited to participate in UEFA's annual awards ceremony.

After the European Ballon d'Or merged with FIFA's World Footballer of the Year to form the FIFA Ballon d'Or, UEFA began to vigorously promote the awards, and the other four individual awards were cancelled.

This undoubtedly makes this award even more eye-catching, and many people even say that he is the precursor to the FIFA Golden Ball Award, and whoever can win this award will basically lock in the FIFA Golden Ball Award in advance.

2012 is a major year for the national team, and as has traditionally been the case with international tournaments and outstanding players, Spain have won the European Championships.

However, since 08, this law has been gradually broken, because Yang Yang has been too crazy in recent years.

Yang Yang's crazy performance has broken the practice of awarding even-year honors to the winning team of international competitions, so no one thinks that the best player in Europe in 2012 will be awarded to the players of the Spanish national team.

The top three players in the first round of voting from UEFA were Real Madrid's Yang Yang, Barcelona's Messi and Andres Iniesta.

But who will emerge from the crowd will depend on the second round of live voting in Monaco.

……

Real Madrid came to Monaco on this trip, led by the club's head of public relations, who is also Real Madrid's former vulture Butragueno, the club's leadership.

Even, there have been rumors that Florentino is training Butragueno as a future successor.

Outside the Grimalty Convention Center, Yang Yang has undoubtedly become the most popular player among the media and fans, and as soon as he appeared, he almost caused a commotion at the scene, and many fans chased him and shouted.

Yang Yang originally planned to stay and interact with the fans, but under the persuasion of the organizers, in order to avoid a commotion at the scene, he still walked into the venue as soon as possible and did not stay outside.

With his current influence, if he stays outside for a long time, more and more fans will gather, and the scene will be difficult to control.

Entering the Grimaldi Convention Center, many people in the lobby saw it and immediately greeted them.

In recent years, Real Madrid has won three consecutive championships in the Champions League, and the number one star Yang Yang has won the honor of the first person in world football in the past five years, which makes Real Madrid and Yang Yang have gained fame and fortune in European football, especially Yang Yang, whose status is even higher.

You must know that in the past few decades, the vast majority of those who have been able to win the honor of being the first person in world football are European or South American players, and even African players are very few, let alone Asian players, and Chinese players are even more impossible.

But since Yang Yang appeared, this kind of history has been completely broken.

At the beginning, many people were still questioning Yang Yang, thinking that he might just be a flash in the pan, but as he won this honor again and again, he has won this honor for five consecutive years, and no one dares to question Yang Yang's strength and level, and his status has naturally gone up, whether it is European football people or professional media, all of them respect him.

Yang Yang has long been accustomed to such occasions, and he is also comfortable in dealing with all kinds of different people, and he can do it well, which is also the ability he has learned from professional public relations over the years.

For this year's best player in Europe, the biggest favorite is of course Yang Yang, because he helped Real Madrid win the treble last season, and at the same time won the Champions League three times in a row, and it can be said that he deserves to win the award of the best player in Europe for this achievement.

But this year is different from previous years because there is a European Championship this year.

Spain won the European Championship for the second time, which is also an honor, Iniesta won the award of the best player of the European Cup, is the best player in the Spanish team, and the call is also very loud, many people think that he will be like Cannavaro back then, representing Spain to compete with Yang Yang for the best player in Europe and the FIFA Golden Ball Award.

Barcelona is still supporting Messi, mainly because Messi is still the number one superstar in the team and has a natural advantage in this regard, but from the current point of view, Iniesta is more likely to challenge Yang Yang than Messi.

Yang Yang is very calm about this, and he jokingly said that if Iniesta wins the award, he will be the first to come forward to congratulate him, and at the same time think that he deserves it.

This is not only Yang Yang's demeanor, but also his heartfelt feeling.

At his part, he actually doesn't attach so much importance to personal honor.

What's more, Spain's defence of the European Championship is indeed a very important honour.

If Yang Yang hadn't won so many personal honors before, he would definitely take this one more seriously this year, but now Yang Yang no longer needs awards to prove himself, so he doesn't mind seeing Iniesta reach the top.

…………

Before the Champions League draw ceremony, Real Madrid captain Casillas appeared on the scene with the St. Bride Cup.

This season's Champions League final will be held at Wembley Stadium in England, so former Real Madrid England star McManaman was present as ambassador for the venue where the final was held, UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino and Competition Director Marchetti were in charge of the draw, and UEFA President Michelo Platini was in charge of the finale award.

The draw in Pot 1 was former Manchester United star Dennis Law, who drew defending champions Real Madrid against seven other teams, and Real Madrid were drawn in Group D, a draw that didn't make much sense.

The real suspense is the draw of the other three grades, among them, the suspense of the second pot is mainly concentrated in Manchester City in the Premier League and Valencia in La Liga, which are two second-tier teams with the strength of the counterattack seeded team, Schalke 04 also has the ability, but is relatively weak.

Manchester City, in particular, no one wants to touch this team.

The teams in Pot 3 are also in danger, with Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 and Juventus in Serie A all strong teams, as well as Eredivisie champions Ajax, who are also very strong, these are all teams to be wary of.

As for the fourth pot, it is even more ferocious, the Bundesliga champion Dortmund, the Malaga team known as Manchester City in La Liga, and the Celtic team in the Soviet Super League, these are all strong teams with headaches, and whoever draws them will be worried.

There are always people who are happy and people who are sad.

George Weah was in charge of drawing the team in Pot 2, first Valencia and then McManaman and was drawn in Group F, a group with Bayern Munich, then Benfica for Barcelona, Dynamo Kyiv for Porto and Zenit St. Petersburg for AC Milan.

Then, George Weah pulled out Manchester City, causing everyone in the stadium to gasp, and no one wanted to touch this team.

It's not that I'm afraid, but I don't want to run into a strong enemy too soon.

Unexpectedly, McManaman was drawn from Group D and directly to Real Madrid.

The entire Grimaldi Convention Center fell silent, some with a fluke exclamation, others with a gloating sneer.

Yang Yang noticed that Butragno, Ancelotti and Zidane were all a little helpless in their eyes, and they were obviously not satisfied with this signing, because if one more team was drawn in the third pot, it would really be the group of death.

However, Real Madrid's luck in the third pot was still average, avoiding Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, but drawing Ajax.

This is interesting, Real Madrid is the champion of La Liga, Manchester City is the champion of the Premier League, Ajax is the champion of the Eredivisie, a group of three league champions, if you follow this pattern, then the opponent in the fourth pot is the Bundesliga champion Dortmund.

"But it's that miserable, isn't it?" Yang Yang asked with a wry smile.

Zidane raised his eyebrows, as if to say, what do you say?

Butragueno also shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I hope it won't be so cruel." ”

A group of champions from the three major leagues and the Eredivisie is a brutal group of death.

The group stage was played so brutally, which is not a good thing for Real Madrid.

You must know that according to the tradition of the past few years, the teams that can generally win the championship are usually gradually out of the state, and the opponent gradually progresses from weak to strong.

Not only because of the consumption of strong dialogue, but also because of the injury of the players.

But sometimes, luck is so vain.

Ruud Gullit, the guest in Pot 3, drew a Eredivisie title for Real Madrid, while Cannavaro, a guest in Pot 4, drew Borussia Dortmund for Real Madrid.

When McManaman pulled out the ball from Group D, there was a round of exclamation.

At this moment, no one was happy, no one fell into the ground, and more people were surprised.

Four league champions gathered in one group, what does it feel like?

"Why not Montpellier?" Yang Yang asked in a low voice with a wry smile.

Montpellier were the winners of Ligue 1 last season, and the draw for this team is also better than the draw for Borussia Dortmund.

Klopp's team is really too difficult, anyone can play a team like this, if you don't die, you have to shed your skin, and the consumption is really not ordinary, which is very fatal for Real Madrid.

"I really feel like I want to kill us now." Ancelotti said bitterly.

This is the conspiracy theory out there, meaning to avoid allowing Real Madrid to defend their title again.

In fact, Real Madrid will have a very difficult time defending their title this season, if not likely, because the team has just undergone a reorganization, and there are many problems in attack in the front, and the defense at the back, especially on the right side, is also very problematic.

To put it simply, it's hard to get a chance this season.

It is really a headache to draw such a cruel lot.

After drawing the Champions League group stage, Platini also began to walk on the podium, giving a brief review of the major events in European football in the past season, and then invited the three candidates Yang Yang, Messi and Iniesta to the stage.

The final grand finale is finally about to be revealed.
