407 Champions League grouping, dissatisfied with the opponent
Although it was the first time to participate in the grand award ceremony, although he failed to win the award, this night was memorable for Zhang Zhetian. At least he's here, and he's gained friendship.
The biggest winner is undoubtedly Real Madrid, who broke the curse of defending the Champions League last season, and the Galaxy won four awards, the best defender, midfielder, striker, and the most important award in the Champions League, the best male player in the Champions League, which was awarded to Sergio Ramos, Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo, and Cristiano Ronaldo won the best striker and best male player alone.
Among other awards, the best goalkeeper was Gianluigi Buffon, the best female player of the year was Leke Martens and Francisco Totti won the UEFA President's Award.
Taking advantage of the break after the award ceremony, Zhang Zhetian asked Ronaldo: "Is it a chance to win the Golden Ball Award if you win the Champions League trophy?" ”
Ronaldo shrugged his shoulders and said: "It depends on your performance and your role in the team and in winning the title. In addition to the Champions League, it depends on how you perform in other competitions. ”
Zhang Zhetian nodded, the Golden Ball Award in the past ten years has basically been monopolized by the two Melo, frontcourt players, especially forwards, are often the favorites of Golden Ball winners, backfield players, especially goalkeepers, it is really difficult to win the Golden Ball Award, it is said that if Juventus won the Champions League last season, Buffon is very likely to become the second player to win the Golden Ball Award as a goalkeeper after the former Soviet goalkeeper Lev Yassin, but not necessarily, it is difficult for you to know what the taste of the Golden Ball judges is.
"The draw is coming soon, have you ever wondered who you are in a group with?" Buffon asked.
Ronaldo said domineeringly: "It doesn't matter who you are in the group, anyway, my goal is to win the championship." ”
Zhang Zhetian shrugged his shoulders: "I want to be in a group with the two of you, but unfortunately you are all seeded teams." Actually, I would most like to be in the group of death. ”
Buffon and Ronaldo asked curiously, "Why?" ”
Zhang Zhetian smiled: "It's fun to play against a strong team." ”
"Cut!" Gianluigi Buffon and Cristiano Ronaldo rolled their eyes.
According to the principle of avoiding teams in the same country in the group stage, theoretically speaking, RB Leipzig, which belongs to the fourth bracket, is likely to enter the group of death, the seeds of the first bracket are Chelsea, Juventus, and Real Madrid, and the second bracket is Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, and the third bracket, which is also Roma, Napoli, the two Serie A teams are stronger, uh, you say Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur? I'm sorry, I played against each other last season, and these heroes in the Premier League are not taken seriously by Zhang Zhetian at all, after all, they are all defeated.
Buffon waved his hand and said, "You are too evil, I hope to meet you in the final, but if you can make it to the final." ”
Ronaldo also smiled and nodded, to be honest, he really didn't want to meet Zhang Zhetian's team in the group stage and before the final, and there are really few goalkeepers in the whole of Europe who can save Zhang Zhetian's 100% shooting rate so far, as long as he shoots on target.
Well, there's a shot on the crossbar, and that's not a shot on target.
When RB Leipzig was cramped in Group G, with Monaco, Porto and Besiktas, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, except for the club in the group with Leipzig.
It's an interesting scene, if for a long time non-big teams didn't want to be in a group with the big clubs, now almost all teams don't want to be in a group with RB Leipzig.
Because the Bundesliga runners-up who are participating in the Champions League for the first time have a goalkeeper who is very evil and has no solution, as long as he is given a free kick opportunity in the defensive third, he can kill the game.
The existence of a free kick master definitely has a strong deterrent effect, not to mention a free kick master with a current 100% hit rate.
The top brass of Monaco, Porto and Besiktas were dissatisfied, as was Zhang Zhetian.
Muttering to Ralph Rangnick and Ralph Ralph Halsenhuttl, who were smiling bitterly, complained: "Shady, it must be shady, why don't you smoke with the big teams?" ”
What a coincidence, the whole three giants and strong teams, none of them were drawn together with Leipzig, the runner-up of the Portuguese Super League last season, the Turkish Super League champion last season and the French League 1 champion last season, the three clubs that are considered strong teams in the eyes of people, but they are regarded as opponents who can't lift their spirits by Zhang Zhetian.
Monaco is weak? Last season, this youth team made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League!
Porto, well, beat Monaco in the final more than a decade ago to win a Champions League trophy, but the experience of this old Champions League fritter is not comparable to rookie Leipzig.
As for Besiktas, they are also regulars in the Champions League, although they rarely qualify from the group, but Istanbul's stadium has always been known as the home of the devil, and its strength should not be underestimated.
Zhangzhetian, you look down on them like this, okay?
Your current team is RB Leipzig, not Arsenal, a veteran driver of the Champions League.
Arsenal, the old club of Zhang Zhetian, drew a good lottery and was in Group E with the Russian Premier League champion Sparta Moscow, La Liga powerhouse Serbia, and Slovenian giants Maribor, and was the favorite to qualify from the group.
Soon after the Champions League group draw was announced, Spinach quickly gave the odds to advance to each group, with RB Leipzig in Group G having the lowest odds to advance and being favoured to top the group.
It is not surprising, because Leicester City, a rookie of the Premier League who also played in the Champions League for the first time last season, miraculously scored in a group similar to Leipzig, not only unexpectedly topped the group, but also reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which is a small dark horse.
Therefore, optimistic about RB Leipzig, which is participating in the competition for the first time, is undoubtedly absorbing the Black Eight Miracle of Leicester City last season.
Spinach also offered odds to win the Champions League, with Real Madrid leading the way at 1 to 5, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris tied for second, and the Premier League's Manchester City duo was tied for third with 1 to 11.
Arsenal, along with Atletico Madrid and Chelsea, tied for fifth place with 1 to 17, and some people say that if Arsenal stays in the top three, they can definitely squeeze into the top three.
What about RB Leipzig?
Ranked tenth with 1 to 101, of course, there are many giants and strong teams in front of them are tied, so Leipzig's actual ranking is 17th.
Not many people are optimistic that Leipzig will win the Champions League for the first time, after all, the Champions League semi-finals and championships are still in the bag of the giants, and it is difficult to stage the accident of the two younger brothers of Porto and Monaco who reached the final that year.
Interestingly, the odds of the Champions League Golden Boot are all forwards on the list, but Zhang Zhetian is actually in it. Of course, he is priced at 72 to 1 and is in last place.
"Can I bet heavily and buy the team to win the championship and my own Champions League Golden Boot?"
Darko Makwitz broke out in a cold sweat, I really don't know if you can bet on the boss.
