Valencia continued to perform well after beating Real Madrid home and away to win the Spanish Super Cup, beating 2011-2012 Europa League winners Atletico Madrid 4-0 a week later at the Stade Louis II to become the best of the best.

Coupled with the fact that Atletico Madrid's overall strength is not as good as Valencia's, losing to Valencia in the UEFA Super Cup is a normal result, which means that it will only be news if Valencia loses to Atletico Madrid.

The end of the UEFA Super Cup also marks the start of the new UEFA Champions League season, with 32 teams shortlisted for the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League going for the title.

However, before that, the 32 teams need to be divided into four tiers under UEFA's coordination, and then divided into eight groups.

Before the draw can be made, UEFA will also need to award trophies to the best winners of the 2011-2012 Champions League.

Valencia, who won the Champions League in the 2011-2012 season, was once again the biggest winner, with the best goalkeeper being Wang Xiaolei and Godin being the best defender, while the best midfielder was controversial, with Cristiano Ronaldo, who played as a winger for almost the entire season at Real Madrid, becoming the best midfielder.

The best striker is naturally indisputable, and Elo, who led Valencia to become the European champion, was elected to the award, and there is no suspense about the best player in the Champions League, which is still in Elo's bag.

Interestingly, during the selection of the best striker and best player in the Champions League, many media members yawned because for them, these two honors are not the slightest suspense.

And the results also confirmed their conjecture......

After last season's best awards, the group draw for the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League was held, and it is unknown whether it was UEFA who deliberately wanted to cause problems for Valencia, who were drawn in Group D against the new Premier League champions Manchester City and the Eredivisie champions Ajax.

Just when everyone thought that the team drawn in the fourth pot of Group D would be a balanced draw, the 2011-2012 Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund, who returned to the Champions League, were drawn as the team in the fourth pot and placed in Group D.

In other words, the four teams drawn from Group D of the 2012-2013 Champions League are Valencia, Manchester City, Ajax and Borussia Dortmund to form the Group of Death!

What are the odds of four league winners drawn in the same group?

Journalists with a keen sense of news looked at UEFA President Michel Platini, who was sitting in the first row, and they believed that the draw was definitely human, because Platini had been extremely dissatisfied with teams with a lot of money since he was elected UEFA president, especially Valencia and Manchester City in the first two or three seasons.

The super purchasing power of the two teams has directly caused chaos in the European transfer market, and at the same time led to the phenomenon of inflated value of players, and even made it impossible for small and medium-sized teams that are in dire need of players to buy their favorite players at real prices.

Therefore, Platini's main job after being elected president of UEFA is to speed up the implementation of the Fiscal Fair Play Act, and in the final year when the balls can not care about the fiscal deficit, it is also very likely that UEFA will stumble on the local giants of Valencia and Manchester City.

Therefore, it is understandable and normal for the media to remember to give full play to their imagination......

"Oh my God, Dortmund have been drawn to Group D! It's incredible! In other words, the champions of the four leagues constitute the first group of death in the Champions League this season, and it can even be said that this is the most terrifying group of death in the history of the Champions League! ”

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray's eyes were about to pop out.

His partner Martin Taylor continued: "With the exception of Eredivisie champions Ajax, who are a clear disadvantage, the other three teams are likely to qualify from the group, especially the defending champions Valencia, but then again...... Who says Ajax won't be able to steal the right to qualify from the group with Valencia, Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund? ”

“…… Of course, Valencia have the best chance of qualifying from the group, as they are bound to be the strongest team in the group with Ai! It's just that Manchester City and Dortmund are ......"

And Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV Channel 5, gave a different opinion and said with a smile: "Oh? The fourth team drawn in Group D is Borussia Dortmund? This group is so interesting! The first hostile confrontation between the two national team teammates, Ailo and Feng Xiaoting, is approaching! I'm sure the fans who are sitting in front of the TV at this moment to watch the 2012-2013 Champions League group stage are very excited and eager to raise money!! ”

At the same time, on the Chinese domestic Internet, Weibo, which has gradually become a social network for netizens, is about to be blown up by fans, and the Weibo hit #Ailuo and Feng Xiaoting's first confrontation# has been updated by tens of millions of Weibo posts in just five minutes.

Fortunately, Weibo's backend server is strong enough, and there is no crash when the traffic exceeds the standard.

Just when the eyes of the media and fans were on the draw itself, the on-site director suddenly gave the camera to the close-up of the head coaches of the four teams on the scene, in addition to Ancelotti's relatively natural expression, whether it was Mancini or Klopp, from the camera, it can be easily seen that they are extremely dissatisfied with the UEFA draw!

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini, in particular, miraculously led Manchester City to regain the English top flight title after 44 years last season, which made him feel a little proud, but this draw ...... But I almost cried.

He will not be in this mood to draw a group with Valencia, because Valencia is strong and must occupy one of the group places, so Manchester City can compete for the second qualifying spot, but drawing the Bundesliga champion Dortmund to Group D will also make Manchester City's qualification situation delicate, especially the third tier is the Eredivisie champion Ajax......

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp was also unhappy, returning to the Champions League in the 2011-2012 season, they were drawn to a group of Arsenal and Marseille, and as a result, they finished bottom of the group with one win, one draw and four losses in six games, and were eliminated.

Unexpectedly, after the defending Bundesliga champions, they will be drawn again in the Champions League group draw for the new season, and if you are allowed to use foul language, I believe Klopp will definitely say a loud greeting to Platini......

Ajax's young manager, Frank de Boer, was more open-minded and just shrugged his shoulders and accepted the reality.
