, qUanbEN, and Mannick led the team to quickly reprimand... Monte Carlo in Colombia competes in the UEFA Super Cup. More than 10,000 German fans followed the team to Monaco to cheer on Hoffenheim's travels. This time, the team was accompanied by the club's owner, Tsutema. Hope, the club's general manager Rothouse, and the two big names are not only going to Monaco to watch Hoffenheim and Manchester United clash at the top, they will also be attending the Champions League group stage draw at the Monte Carlo Grimar Convention Centre in Monaco.

Village teams like Hoffenheim have the opportunity to compete in the highest level of football in Europe. It is an unparalleled honor for all of Hoffenheim, and the thought that world-class giants such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Milan will come to Mannheim to play, Hoffenheim fans will laugh out loud even in their sleep, but Hoffenheim fans do not dare to have too much hope for their team, they think that the most important thing to play at this level for the first time is to gain experience. Rather than a high result, it is better to be able to qualify from the group, and the fans will not be disappointed either.

On a hot August afternoon, Monaco's Monte Carlo is bustling with activity, with tens of thousands of Hoffenheim and Manchester United fans and countless European football heavyweights congregating here. They are all here to attend the draw for the Champions League group stage.

Known as the world's best convention centre, the Grimals Convention Centre is one of the must-have venues for UEFA events as it is a cultural centre for technology and fashion in terms of technology, space ahead of Adamdam, Barcelona and Hong Kong.

Li Huan and Rangnick, Hope, and Rothouse were sitting in the center hall waiting for the start of the draw ceremony, and the four of them were chatting from time to time, when Beckenbauer, Hoeness and Klinsmann came over, Hope and others stood up and greeted Beckengun and his party with a smile, although they were sworn enemies in the league, but they were still quite stretched out in public, and the two sides exchanged a few words. Beckengun and his party sat down in the row behind Hope.

Shortly thereafter, last season's Champions League winners Manchester United and runners-up Chelsea arrived, and the arrival of Rowe and Alex Ferguson attracted almost the entire hall of reporters, with cameras all aimed at them.

Cristiano Ronaldo was the biggest winner of the last Champions League, winning the European Cup and being the top scorer and 90 per cent sure he would be the best player in the Champions League.

And Chelsea boss Scolari and Frank Lampard, John Terry, Petr Cech and others are smiling. But compared to Ferguson and Law, he smiled a little reluctantly. In fact, for them, if it weren't for the draw ceremony, they would rather not come to accept the award, last season's defeat hit them too hard, especially Terry, who missed a penalty at the end, had a strange expression, and it was not clear that he was happy or happy.

At this time, the guests who participated in the draw ceremony also came to the scene one after another, French superstar Zidane. Milan flag bearer Baresi. Manchester United's great goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. Sir Charlton, the winner of the British World Cup, and Eusebio, the Panther, made the conference hall even more starry.

The host of the draw ceremony is UEFA Secretary General Taylor, he introduced the rules and process of the draw, among the total strong teams, there are old teams that directly enter the Champions League this season, and the old teams are through the play-offs to obtain the final qualification, including Barcelona, Juventus, Arsenal, Liverpool and other traditional strong teams. Russia's Zenit St. Petersburg, Roania's Cluj, Belarus' Borisovbat, Cyprus' Anrokosas and Germany's Hoffenheim are among the newcomers who are participating in the Champions League for the first time.

The ugly teams are divided into four brackets, each with 8 teams. The 8 teams will advance to different groups. The premise of the drawing of lots is that the same country is not from the same group.

Pot 1: Chelsea, Liverpool, Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester United, Lyon, Inter Milan, Real Madrid

Second gear: Bayern Munich, PSV Eindhoven, Villarreal, Roma, Porto, Sporting Lisbon, Panathinaikos, Juventus;

Pot 3: Marseille, St. Petersburg Penit, Bucharest Star, Bordeaux, Celtic, Basel, Fenerbahce, Hoffenheim

Although it was the first time to participate in the Champions League, Hoffenheim won the League Cup, so they were placed in Pot 3.

Pot 4: Shakhtar Donetsk, Fiorentina, Atletico Madrid, Dynamo Kyiv, Anotosis, Aalborg, Bart, Cluj

The draw was preceded by the award for last season's Champions League goalkeeper of the best season, which was won by Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech, who was presented to Denmark's legendary Kasper Schmeichel. After Cech received the trophy, the draw ceremony officially began. Petr Cech, along with Kasper Schmeichel, helped Taylor in the first draw of the draw.

Premier League giants Chelsea were drawn first and the Blues moved into the group. Then the first seeded team was placed one after another, and Inter Milan entered the group. Lyon are in the group, Arsenal are drawn into the group, Real Madrid is in the group, and Liverpool is in the group. Group, Barcelona entered the group, while defending champions Manchester United were in the group.

After the draw for the first seeded team, the draw ceremony ridiculed the best defender in the Champions League for the season, and the legendary superstar defender only hi plus deleted... Captain Terry presents the award. The draw for the second bracket team began immediately, with Terry assisting in the draw as a guest. The first, Sporting Lisbon who was drawn, was placed in Barcelona's group. Eindhoven enters. Group, Villarreal was drawn into the group, Juventus was in the Real Madrid group, Roma was in the group, Porto was in the group, Bayern was in the same group as Lyon, and Panaxinnacos was in the group of Inter Milan.

When the teams in the first and second gears were drawn, they did not cause much reaction from the guests on the scene. It's just that Real Madrid FC made a noisy noise when they saw that Juventus was drawn, and Lyon saw that they were in a group with Bayern. The mood is not very good either. But there are two qualifiers in each group, and the two teams do not decide anything, the most dangerous is the draw of the third pot team, and the group of death is formed after the third draw.

When Sir Charlton presented the award to Frank Lampard for the best striker, the atmosphere in the conference hall was tense, Hoffenheim and Zenit were teams that no one wanted to meet, and Celtic were also very strong, but compared to Zenit and Hoffenheim, they were a little bit behind. Zenit can beat Bayern four goals, Hoffenheim and Bayern won all three meetings, although Bayern has now become a second-rate European trend, but their strength cannot be underestimated, and the strength of Zenit and Hoffenheim is also even more not to be underestimated. Drawing these two teams is basically the Group of Death.

But Zenit and Hoffenheim also don't want to be in the first two strong groups. Hoffenheim has been whispering since the end of second gear.

Although Rangnick is not a child of the Champions League, he has not qualified from the group in the Champions League, which can be called a loser, but he is the most nervous of the four guests at Hoffenheim.

Rothouse kept moving his fingers to relieve the tension, saying: "As long as you don't get into the group of Real Madrid and Juventus and Manchester United and Villarreal. Everything else is better. We don't play La Liga teams well. ”

Rangnick said: "Chelsea and Roma are not easy to play either, but anything is possible, God willing. ”

Li Huan said with some malice: "I hope to join the group the most." ”

The first pot of the group is Richai and the second pot is Bayern. Li Huan's words were heard by several people in the Bayern club behind him. Immediately Hoeness and Klinsmann's faces turned stunned, but in fact, their hearts were also beating drums, lest they draw Hoffenheim and Zenit, two teams that have now become their nemesis.

The first to be drawn by Frank Lampard were Bordeaux, who were placed in a group.

The seats at Chelsea and Roma let out a long breath, and Scolari smiled and laughed with Kenyon as Roma's bald coach Spalletti couldn't help but applaud. This made the Bordeaux coach very unhappy.

Immediately afterwards, the Turkish powerhouse Fenerbahce was drawn into the group. The expressions of the managers of Arsenal and Porto in the group were mixed, and it was a good thing that Hoffenheim and Zenit were not drawn, but the heroism of the Turks in this European Championship still scares everyone, and Fenerbahce's home stadium is also known as a hellish field, Arsenal and Porto are both technical plays, and it is not easy to play a bloody and almost bloody team like Fenerbahce.

Basel were then placed in the group, Celtic were in the group, and Marseille could only enter. group, the last of which was drawn from the Bucharest star into the group.

In the end, only the two teams of Zenit and Hoffenheim were benefited, and only two groups were left, and the other groups that had been drawn were all smiling and smiling, and the managers of Real Madrid, Juventus, Inter Milan and Panaxin Nacos were all frowning. Inter Milan is better, Mourinho is still able to maintain a smile, Pananew Nakos is a second-tier team, but the strength is average, but the group of Real Madrid and Juventus, no matter which one of Hoffenheim and Zenit is drawn, is the group of death.

Zenit and Hoffenheim were equally nervous. No one wants to be in the "group", but now both teams clearly have a 50 percent chance of making it to the group of death.

Now it's Bayern's turn to say cool things, Hoeness said to Rangnick in a weird way: "Juventus has fallen, Real Madrid can't even enter the quarterfinals every year, I hope you will fight for the Bundesliga." Get more points. ”

Rangnick's mood was tense. Wuxin and Hoeness argued: "We are newcomers. The task of picking up points for the Bundesliga is, of course, still up to Bayern. ”

Li Huan said sarcastically: "Thank you for giving us the League Cup championship, you can't look down on the League Cup, and the Champions League can't be conceded anymore, this is the highest honor in Europe." 'While Bayern and Hoffenheim were arguing, Frank Lampard had already drawn a seventh team, and Charlton had also drawn out the group.

The conference hall immediately burst into applause from the Hoffenheim quartet, with Rangnick and Rothouse, Li Huan and Hope hugging each other. Zenit made it to the group of death, and they were lucky enough to be in the group. And Zenit head coach Eddie Cutout slapped his thigh in annoyance. How difficult it is to break through in the gap between Real Madrid and Juventus, if they are divided into groups, no matter how strong Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan is, as long as they can deal with the Greek system... Kawayinakos is enough. The group qualifiers are not only high praises, but also high honors.

Hope smiled and said to Li Huan: "It looks like God is still on our side" There is a great hope of qualifying for the group stage now. ”

After Rangnick's ecstasy, he hurriedly said cautiously: "Panaxinakos can be divided into the second grade." It shows that they have a lot of points in Europe. Experienced, we should not underestimate. ”

Li Huan's goal this season is locked in the Champions League, and he is happier than the other three, saying: "No matter which team is in the fourth pot, at least we have the strength to fight." ”

Several people in Bayern saw a one-in-two chance of entering the group of death, and Hoffenheim was able to avoid it, and they were really jealous of the good fortune of this hillbilly. They have a lot of experience in the Champions League and know that the strength of their opponents in the group stage is not only a matter of qualifying, but also that coming out of the group of death, scarred with red and yellow cards, is completely different from the result of rushing out of a relatively easy group, and Hoffenheim are likely to go further once qualified.

When Portuguese legend Eusebio presented the Champions League Former Ronaldo of the Year award, the draw for the fourth place in the Champions League group stage began. The teams in Pot 4 are basically playing soy sauce, so they didn't cause much of a stir, and only Atletico Madrid entered. group, let the scene commotion, in this group, in addition to Liverpool's superior strength, the other three teams Marseille, PSV Eindhoven and Atletico Madrid are at a similar level. Beyond that, another group of death.

So far, the grouping of the eight groups in the Champions League has been completed, and the eight groups are:

Group: Chelsea, Roma, Bordeaux, Cluj

Group: Inter Milan, Panathinaikos, Hoffenheim, Anrokosas

Group: Barcelona, Sporting Lisbon, Basel, Shakhtar Donetsk. Group: Liverpool, PSV Eindhoven, Marseille, Atletico Madrid

Group: Manchester United, Villarreal, Celtic, Aalborg

Group: Lyon, Bayern Munich, Bucharest Star, Fiorentina

Group: Arsenal, Porto, Fenerbahce, Dynamo Kyiv

Group: Real Madrid, Juventus, Fort Zenit of St. Peter's, Borisov Barth

But the draw wasn't over yet, and there was one last event, with Zinedine Zidane presenting the award to the best player in the Champions League, and after UEFA selection, Luo was expected to be the best in last season's Champions League

Member.

Although he knew that he would definitely be able to win this award, Luo was still excited. He was unusually unruly in his acceptance speech. He thanked the Manchester United community for helping him and felt that the honour he received belonged to Manchester United as a whole.

Seeing Luo giving his acceptance speech on it, he smiled and joked with Li Huan: "I hope I'll still be sitting here this time next year." And you can stand on it and claim the prize. Li Huan's heart is actually jealous, the League Cup and the Champions League are not comparable, look at the formation of UEFA for the Champions League, and then think about the shabby when he won the top scorer in the League Cup, he shrugged his shoulders one by one and said: "Mr. Hope, who can say this." ”

Hope laughed and patted Li Huan on the shoulder. "Ambitious, you are much more confident than your compatriots." Not modest at all. Shao Jia would definitely say, how is that possible, I'm a defender. ”

Li Huan smiled and was about to speak, when reporters had already poured into the head coaches, managers and player representatives of various clubs. They are going to conduct live interviews with these coaches.

The reporter of Italy's "Milan Sports Newspaper" caught Li Huan and asked Li Huan how he felt about being assigned to the group, Li Huan said: "This is a sign, Inter Milan is the strongest, and they will undoubtedly be the favorites to qualify from the group." With the exception of Inter Milan, the other two teams are not very strong, and we can qualify by beating the other two. ”

When the reporter asked Li Huan if he was afraid of being in a group with Mourinho, Li Huan smiled and said: "You should ask Mourinho if he is afraid, Inter Milan has had many precedents of overturning in the gutter in the Champions League, I think he will definitely be afraid that something like this will happen again, and the first group is a must for them, and we may create some trouble for them." ”

Rangnick was also asked by a reporter from Bild about his thoughts on the grouping, to which he replied: "Hoffenheim will definitely have to fight Panathinaikos for another qualifying spot, and it is difficult to predict who of the two teams will advance." Panathinaikos is a tough nut to crack, with Champions League experience in consecutive seasons, and they are more mature. Experience happens to be what we lack the most, and we want to play well and get out of the group, first or second. ”

Panaxinakos' head coach is Ten Carter, who was previously an assistant coach of Barça's Black Swan, who played a big role in Barça's Champions League win during the injury year, and also wandered many teams like Rangnick, saying: "Although I like attacking football, I'm not crazy, and in the Champions League, making avoidable mistakes while defending will pay a heavy price. We have to know this if we want to qualify for the knockout rounds, and with our history and group situation, qualifying for the knockout rounds is not wishful thinking. “
