Chapter 1104 - Questioning UEFA
After the draw ceremony, in addition to focusing on the head coach who drew the Super Death Group, the media also focused on the core players of the four teams, and the first player to be surrounded by the media was Valencia's captain Elo.
In an interview with the media, he first said with a smile: "Actually, the lottery result is not unexpected, according to the media reports before the lottery begins, this is a theoretically possible lottery result, which means that the lottery result is likely to appear, so it is not surprising......
Then he said: "Besides, Valencia is not afraid of any team! ”
Iroh's answer was unexpected by the media, so his initial answer was to attract the attention of the media, but his subsequent speech caused many media interviewers to roll their eyes at the scene.
However, thinking of Ailo's past achievements in leading Valencia and Chelsea, no reporter stood up to be sarcastic, and even Juan Carlos, a well-known reporter of "World Sports" who once had a 'bitter hatred' with Elo, wisely shut his mouth.
Of course, the local Valencian media and the Chinese media who support Iello are fully supportive of Iroh's views.
Later, Dortmund's captain Kyle angrily expressed his feelings in an interview with the media, he believed that the draw was premeditated, and at the same time expressed that Dortmund was innocent......

On the second day, not only did the mainstream European media focus on the 2013-2014 Champions League group draw that took place yesterday at UEFA headquarters, but also the global media covering sports news also highlighted the emergence of the Super Death group.
"French football" expressed a skeptical attitude towards the emergence of the super-death group: "...... I thought it was a theory that could only lead to the result but appeared in reality, this situation is equivalent to buying a lottery ticket and winning the first prize, the odds are too small and too small, almost negligible, but it is real! Actually, we can look at it from another angle, will this be planned in advance? ”
The British media "The Times" even said directly: "The defending champion Valencia, last season's runner-up Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, who has a strong golden yuan, and the old powerhouse Napoli, who have made a strong comeback, can occupy a group qualification place in any group, but the problem now is that these four teams appear in the same group, is this really not a joke?" The result that God could not believe had happened...... This makes us have to wonder if this draw is very likely to be manipulated by UEFA, otherwise how could it be so coincidental? ”
At a time when the Bundesliga team must strive to win more European points, Dortmund, who can support the face of the Bundesliga, was placed in the super group of death, which can make the German media very dissatisfied, so the leading football media "Kicker" bluntly said: "UEFA President Platini's dissatisfaction with Valencia and Paris Saint-Germain is already deep in the bone marrow, and it is not surprising to draw them into a group, but the inclusion of Dortmund and Napoli in this group makes people have to doubt, Because the result of this draw is the result of the existence of theories calculated by the media before the lottery ceremony......"
In addition, many neutral media also bombarded UEFA, questioning the results of the draw.
Of course, at this time, UEFA was the first to stand up and show its innocence, firmly stating on its official website, Twitter and press conference that the draw was a fair, open and just result.
Valencia, Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund and Naples were drawn into the same group, and it was entirely God's will......
But UEFA's statement did not clear their name, but instead drew a lot of criticism from the media.
So UEFA President Michel Platini is like an ant on a hot pot, and at the same time, he can't stop turning around.
It is worth mentioning that after the draw results of the 2013-2014 Champions League group stage, the three major European bookmakers adjusted the odds of Valencia to win the championship in major competitions, which were improved compared with the previous odds......

While much of the world's media is expressing skepticism, this is not the case with China, which is far away in the Asia-Pacific region, and their focus is ...... Super Chinese derby in the group stage of the Champions League!
This analogy is very appropriate, Valencia has Elloh, Wang Xiaolei, Dortmund has Feng Xiaoting, Paris Saint-Germain has Zhang Xizhe, and Napoli has Chen Tao, which means that in every group stage of Group E of the 2013-2014 Champions League group stage, Chinese players will play on the field.
What a beautiful picture that is......
So it's exciting to think about, so the focus of the Chinese media is different from the majority of the global media questioning the UEFA draw.
In addition to the derby of super Chinese players in the Champions League group stage, there is also the clash between Zhang Xizhe and Chen Tao, because with Pep Guardiola becoming the head coach of the Chinese team, the younger Zhang Xizhe was corrected, and the original Chinese team's main striker Chen Tao was reduced to a substitute.
This match will be the first direct meeting between the two in Europe, and the media believe that Chen Tao, who has been reduced to a substitute, will definitely seize such an opportunity to prove that he is the best striker in the whole of China!
On the Internet, netizens have long been boiling on the Internet when the lottery results come out, and the social networking sites Weibo and WeChat Moments have become places for them to vent their expectations.
Some companies are even planning to adjust their employees' schedules on these race days......
It has to be said that with the rise of the Chinese team's reputation in international football, there are more and more conscientious enterprises.
It is worth mentioning that some of the attention of the local media in Valencia has also diverted, and their content revolves around the transfer of former Valencia player Raul Albiol to Napoli, because the Spanish international who was trained by the Valencia academy in the same group as Airo and David Silva is very popular with fans.
It was only because the team needed to maintain its competitiveness in the league and the Champions League that the team had to sell those players whose strength could not keep up with the overall strength of the team, which did not cause dissatisfaction among fans.
The draw of Napoli to Valencia's Group E this time means that Albiol, who is loved by Valencia fans, will return to Mestalla to play against Ailo and David Silva, and the picture will definitely be very beautiful for them......
As time passed, the content of the mainstream European media had to shift a bit, because they couldn't keep the focus on UEFA all the time, they had to focus on their respective leagues!
