In the Atletico lounge, the attention of the Atletico players is all on the TV, because the matter is undergoing the European group stage draw ceremony, but Lin Dong is not here.

As the defending champions last season, Atletico Madrid successfully promoted to the first echelon, last season Atletico Madrid's luck has been very good, not even against strong teams in the group stage, and this season, although not as good as last season, but the group draw is also good.

Atletico Madrid were drawn to Group A, which is a clear group of strong and weak, and the second echelon is Juventus from Italy, and it is certain that the final battle in Group A will definitely lie with these two teams.

The remaining two teams are Olympiasco from Greece and Malmo from Sweden, and the teams that can appear in the Champions League are certainly the top teams in their respective leagues, but the gap between the top teams and the top teams is also huge.

In fact, the draw for this group stage is not only Atletico Madrid's strength and weakness in Group A, but also the strength and weakness of other groups, Group B is Real Madrid, Basel, Liverpool and Ludogorets.

Although Liverpool is a third-tier team and is still back in the Champions League after a few years, it is undoubtedly stronger than Basel and Ludogorets in terms of strength.

Groups C and H are the more balanced teams, with neither group having top clubs, while Group D has Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund.

Group E is considered a group of death, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, CSKA Moscow and Roma, but this group of death is not very interesting.

Group F Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain lead, big Paris, who is not short of money, has been trying to poach in Barcelona in recent years, but unfortunately the brawl has not been successful.

Group G belongs to Chelsea, although there are Schalke 04 and Sporting Lisbon, but as long as Chelsea play normally, they can definitely sit at the top of the group.

In other words, this season's Champions League not only lacks highlights, but also lacks many familiar giants, such as Serie A Milan and Milan, Inter Milan is in a bad situation after 09-10, AC Milan is not better now, at least Inter Milan 09-10 season is still crazy.

In addition to Serie A, there is also the Premier League super giant Manchester United, you know, the Red Devils have not missed the Champions League since the beginning of the 96-97 season, and this absence is also the Red Devils' first time in 18 years that the Champions League has not been missed.

Last season was not over, Moyes, who was hailed as Ferguson's successor, was sacked by Manchester United, and this summer, Manchester United launched a big selection of managers, and finally Dutch coach Louis van Gaal came out on top.

Naturally, it was a return to the top, and for this reason, the Red Devils invested a lot in this summer, close to 200 million euros, which is the best in the Premier League.

It's a pity that Lin Dong didn't pay attention to football before, otherwise he would definitely know that the impact of Ferguson's departure is not over, and the Red Devils will never be able to return to the top in the next few years.

Lin Dong went to the scene this time to receive the best player in Europe, this award, Lin Dong must be well-deserved, after all, Lin Dong's performance last season was there.

In addition to Lin Dong winning the best player, Courtois became the best goalkeeper, but unfortunately, this is now a Chelsea player, and Simeone's best coach is not controversial.

Lin Dong can't appreciate the trophy of the best player in Europe, no matter how you look at it, it feels a little strange and ugly, of course, this does not prevent him from liking him, this is a reward and proof of his performance last season, and it is also his most important trophy so far.

In fact, this award is just the beginning, and there is no controversy about the Golden Boot Award, but unfortunately the Golden Boot has not yet been sent to Lin Dong, and there is a La Liga award ceremony later.

That evening, Simeone returned to Madrid with the Atletico players, after all, for Atletico at the moment, the Madrid derby is the most important thing.

Fans on both sides were ready for a fight, and the media was gearing up, but things didn't turn out as the media expected.

Zidane is a very smart man, without absolute certainty, he will never be the first to provoke a war, and it is said that the predicament he is facing now, if he can, Zidane is eager to move the Madrid derby back.

As for Ronaldo, who was about to have high hopes, in fact, the Portuguese achievements have concealed Ronaldo's true character, and indeed, Ronaldo has always shown pride.

But his pride does not allow him to be incompetent, the last time Ronaldo must not forget, he and Lin Dong have almost attracted the attention of fans all over the world, but in the end? He and his team were defeated.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as fearful, because Ronaldo is proud of his achievements and status today, but the appearance of Lin Dong has shaken his status in world football.

As for Simeone on the other side, the coach of Atletico Madrid has a face of the underworld, and his personality is actually relatively straightforward.

Lin Dong, this thing is very sullen, and for the European media, Lin Dong has already set his own flag, if it is really according to the media's meaning, then is he still him?

Therefore, in this Madrid derby, the fans were unhappy with the spraying on the Internet, but the players behaved very low-key, no matter how the media provoked, the players on both sides only expressed their confidence in the game at most.

"Score again, Lin is in good shape" In the match, Lin Dong scored his third goal, which was still a solo performance, and he scored after passing two people in a row.

However, compared to the excitement of assistant coach Boggs, head coach Simeone frowned, and his eyes kept rolling back and forth on Griezmann and Mandzukic.

In this match, not only Lin Dong was in good shape, but Mandzukic and Griezmann also had a strong desire to perform, and they also performed well, and both scored goals.

Of course, not only the two of them, but also the other players have a strong desire to perform, after all, it is a Madrid derby, and there is no one who does not want to play in such an important game.

However, Simeone does not need to worry about other positions, because the main position is very stable and basically does not need any changes, but the forward line is different, Mandzukic and Griezmann are very good, but the two play in a completely different style, and they cooperate very well with Lin Dong.

But this is also the reason for Simeone's troubles, who to start, in this kind of important game, the meaning of starting is not only a game starter, but even determines the status of a player in the manager's heart to a certain extent.
