Chapter 951: UEFA (Part I)

This was followed by the third team drawn from Group 5, with Juventus and Valencia, and there were no teams to avoid in Pot 3, Leipzig, who were drawn by Kluivert.

Allegri, the head coach of the Juventus team, changed his face slightly, but the situation is okay, and the Juventus team should be able to get a place to qualify, so Allegri is not too worried.

On the contrary, the head coach of the Benfica team has a very bad face, and the head coach of Leipzig has a very bad face.

Seeing that Leipzig was drawn, Ancelotti and Jiang Chen looked at each other again, they both felt that their luck was simply too good, and Leipzig, who had a strong third block, was avoided by them, which was reasonable.

The next teams drawn by Kluivert were Olympiacos, Zenit St. Petersburg and Borisov.

The managers of Barcelona and AC Milan saw that their third opponent was Borisov, and they were in a better mood.

After the draw for the third-tier team was completed, Severin immediately walked up to the stage at this time, and then said directly: "Thanks to Mr. Kluivert, we will invite Mr. Mateus to draw the team in the fourth pot for us, and announce the winner of the best striker in the Champions League last season!" ”

Mateus walked on the stage, and at this time, Jiang Chen was very nervous, he felt that he had won the award.

But Bale actually won the best midfielder, which made Jiang Chen still a little worried.

However, Mateus announced with a grin: "The winner of the best striker in the UEFA Champions League last season was Napoli from Serie A!" ”

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked on stage excitedly to accept the award.

In front of the microphone, Jiang Chen said: "Thank you very much for your trust, I am very happy to be able to get this award, this is an affirmation of my efforts last season!" Thank you so much! I'll keep working hard in the new season and I won't let you down, absolutely not! ”

Jiang Chen bowed and stepped down, and then it was the final lottery ceremony.

There are also teams with superior strength in the fourth tier, that is Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund, these are two time bombs, and no one wants to draw these two teams.

But Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and Manchester City had terrible luck, because the first team to be drawn by Mateus was Galatasaray, who was recognized as the top three, and the group of death, the group of death in the absolute sense of the word, was born, and the managers of all the teams in this first group were extremely blue.

The second was drawn Trabzonspor Team, the third was Atlético Greeks, the fourth was Dinamo Zagreb and the fifth was Genk.

By this time, Dortmund and Arsenal were still not drawn, Ancelotti and Jiang Chen had an ominous premonition in their hearts, and this premonition was getting stronger and stronger, did they really want to draw one of the top two?

Ancelotti and Jiang Chen were in a very bad mood at this time, and they very much did not want to draw Dortmund and Arsenal.

At this point, Mateus immediately drew a ball, and then he opened the ball and took out the note inside.

After Mateus opened the folded note, his face changed, and Ancelotti and Jiang Chen's hearts instantly fell to the bottom.

At this time, German star Mateus had no ink, and directly turned the piece of paper in his hand, Jiang Chen and Ancelotti instantly saw the content on the piece of paper clearly, and it was indeed Dortmund!

Nima, I really don't want to be biased, Jiang Chen's mood is very bad, and Ancelotti's mood is even worse.

Of course, the managers of the remaining teams are in a very good mood, especially the managers of Barcelona and AC Milan, and the chances of a second group of death are greatly reduced.

The last two teams drawn by Mateus were Arsenal and Viktoria Plzen.

In this way, the draw for this season's UEFA Champions League group stage was completed, and the groupings were as follows:

Group A: Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Galatasaray

Group B: Inter Milan, CSKA Moscow, Lille, Trabzonspor

Group C: Manchester United, Benfica, Basel, Atletico Greece

Group D: Real Madrid, Lyon, Ajax, Dinamo Zagreb

Group E: Juventus, Valencia, Leipzig, Genke

Group F: Napoli, Paris Saint-Germain, Olympiacos, Borussia Dortmund

Group G: Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St. Petersburg, Arsenal

Group H: Barcelona, AC Milan, Borisov, Vitoria Plzen

The draw for this season's UEFA Champions League group stage has been announced, but the final suspense of this draw ceremony has not yet been revealed, that is, last season's best European player, that is, the winner of the European Ballon d'Or, has not yet been announced.

The European Player of the Year is an award awarded by the Union of European Football Associations and the European Sports Media Federation to the best player who played for Europe in the previous season.

The creation of this award is the reason why UEFA wants to increase its prestige and influence.

The previous World Footballer of the Year was founded by the French football magazine "France Football", and many years ago, FIFA's World Footballer of the Year was restructured, which greatly improved the status and influence of FIFA.

UEFA was naturally not happy to see the strength of FIFA, and they wanted to reflect their status and value, so they created the European Ballon d'Or.

Candidates for the European Ballon d'Or are not limited to nationalities and only require players to play for clubs affiliated with UEFA member states.

Domestic, international, club and national team matches are taken into account.

In the first round of voting, the three players with the most votes will be shortlisted for the final round of voting, where they will vote for the best player in real time at the award ceremony.

It's time for the final round of voting.

Although at this time, the head coaches of many teams were in a very bad mood, very angry, and even a little absent-minded, but they did not get up and leave.

And the media reporters waiting there were very excited at this time, they all wanted to see who was the winner of this extreme bull drop in Europe?

At this time, the players below are very nervous, of course, the players who have been nominated for the European Ballon d'Or are very nervous.

There are three nominees for last season's European Player of the Year award, namely Bale from Real Madrid, Lionel Messi from Barcelona and Jiang Chen from Napoli.

Gareth Bale had a very good run in the league last year, scoring more than 40 goals in one season, and the team's results were not good.

However, Real Madrid's performance in the Champions League was not very good, and Bale did not perform very well in the national team last year, and the Welsh national team did not perform well in the World Cup.
