Before the draw ceremony, the Champions League brackets for the 32 teams had already been released. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Champions League teams are divided according to the European points from the past five seasons, including the Champions League and the UEFA Cup, and the 32 teams are divided into four brackets according to the European points from the highest to the lowest, and the eight teams are divided into four brackets. In last season, although Real Madrid was eliminated directly from the group, in the previous European competitions, Real Madrid's record was still good, so this time UEFA still divided Real Madrid into the first tier of teams.

Chelsea, on the other hand, won all the titles last season, and the Champions Cup was of course one of them, which directly crossed the Blues a notch and was also placed in the first tier.

Among the other teams participating in the Champions League, last season's La Liga champions Barcelona, the Red Devils Manchester United, the always strong AC Milan, Arsenal, the Nerazzurri Inter Milan and the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich are classified as first-tier teams.

The leaders of the Eredivisie Ajax, the 'old lady' Juventus, Panathinaikos, Villarreal, PSV Eindhoven, Porto, and Ligue 1 champions Lyon, are all placed in the second tier of teams.

Others include Brucchi, Rapid Vienna, Pragues, Bada Thûl, Middlesbrough, Werder Bremen, Udinese, Lille, Benfica, Schalke 04, Fenerbahce, Elecos, Rosenborg, Andlech, Tebetis, Rangers, Bratislava, all of which are in Pot 3 and 4.

"Allen, which team do you think we'll be playing with?" At this time, Florentino looked at the high-level people of the various clubs around him with his eyes narrowed, and asked casually.

Wang Li looked up at the team grade division table on the big screen on the side of the conference room, thought for a while, and said, "It should be a team in Serie A or the Premier League." ”

He is just guessing at random, and among the teams in the second bracket of the table, there are two Serie A teams and one Premier League team, so of course the probability of saying this is greater.

"I hope so." Hearing this, Florentino chuckled and said.

In fact, Wang Li didn't care much about the grouping, so he waited to come to the stage to accept the award.

No matter how this group is divided, it is impossible for him to participate in the group stage of the Champions League anyway, he is just looking at the result, hoping that Real Madrid can be divided into a weak group and qualify smoothly, and then when he returns, he can still participate in the knockout round of the Champions Cup, that's all.

It's not that he's too selfish, in fact, he's been living in England all the time, and he's just coming to Real Madrid for the first time, and he's here for the first reason for the salary, and the second for the honor.

As for the love for Real Madrid?

He really didn't have much of that thing, and he didn't have any reason to have it.

But when Real Madrid's honor is linked to himself, he has this 'love', probably every professional player has this idea.

At this time, the beautiful hostess on the scene began to announce the list of winners, and the first to announce was last season's best coach, an honor that rightfully belongs to Chelsea manager Jose. Jose Mourinho.

Last season's manager of the year was Jose Mourinho, and that's a repeat accolade.

The Portuguese who came to the stage to accept the award smiled brightly, and he had reason to smile because he had won this honor in a row, and the honor of best coach was indeed the best affirmation of professional coaching.

At this time, the hostess introduced next to her: "Chelsea were the most brilliant last season, they got all the accolades that an English team can get, they won the European Cup, congratulations to Mr Mourinho for winning the best coach award, and what will Chelsea do this year?" This gives us an extra sense of hope. ”

Hearing these compliments, Wang Li also felt a little satisfied, after all, he was the most important contributor to Chelsea's various championships last season, and praising Chelsea last season was the same as praising him.

After Mourinho finished posing, the host began to announce the winners of the awards one by one.

"Last season's striker of the season was Real Madrid," said the host, who paused for a moment before continuing to shout in his voice: "Striker Allen. King!!! ”

With this shout, everyone in the audience applauded in unison.

Unlike Mourinho who took the stage to accept the award just now, the applause this time was much louder.

Mourinho won the best coach, and everyone just thought that he was lucky, and Wang Li was the most important contributor to Chelsea's winning so many honors, and everyone in the audience was convinced that Wang Li won this award.

Florentino patted Wang Li on the shoulder and motioned for him to come up to the stage to accept the award.

Under everyone's gaze, Wang Li walked steadily to the stage, took a delicate trophy from an unknown award presenter, and politely hugged the award presenter.

Like Mourinho, after Wang Li received the award, he also had to put a pose on the stage for everyone to enjoy and reporters to shoot, he stood there, his heart was full of joy, speaking of which, this is the first time he has participated in this kind of high-end award ceremony, compared to the team's award ceremony when he won the championship, this form of award specifications is higher, and the grade is a little higher.

Although there are not many people in the audience and there are only dozens of reporters, it is undeniable that each of these people is a person with great influence in world football.

However, there was an indifferent temperament on his face, which made everyone nod secretly in their hearts.

Come to think of it, this black-haired kid is only 18 and a half years old, and it is not easy to win the 'Best Striker' award at this age, and he can maintain such an indifferent temperament.

The host began to introduce Wang Li's experience in detail: "Allen. Wang, just 18 years and seven months old, scored 31 goals for Chelsea in last season's Champions League! He helped Chelsea win the UEFA Champions League directly, and in the Premier League, he also scored 49 goals for the team, which is absolutely unprecedented. "With his goal stats, the other strikers really don't have any competition, and I don't think anyone would have any problem with Allen winning this award. Here's a look at his highlights from last season, but there are so many of them that we've just cut a few of the highlights. ”

As soon as the voice fell, the big screen at the scene began to play Wang Li's goal video, and at this moment, he was undoubtedly the most watched person in the audience.

The video is not long, only two minutes, but being able to get such a privilege before the Champions League group draw ceremony also shows that UEFA attaches great importance to Wang Li.

After Wang Li accepted the award, the host began to announce other awards.

At this point, Frank Lampard was a little excited, because the following is the best midfielder, and although he is already a famous star in England, he has never won such a meaningful award.

The host announced the winners: "Last season's best midfielder was Liverpool's Steven. Gerrard!!! ”

Hearing this, Wang Li also sent a reassuring look to Lampard.

However, there is not much disagreement that Gerrard can win this accolade, even the somewhat disappointed Frank Lampard.

Last season, Liverpool reached the Champions League final almost exclusively on Steven Gerrard, who lost to Chelsea in the final, but Gerrard's performance is well known, both in the team and in performance, he is better than Frank Lampard.

It's a pity that Gerrard still chose to stay at Liverpool in the summer transfer, and because Liverpool only finished fifth in the league last season, the winner of the best midfielder did not even qualify for the Champions League this season.

On the stage, Gerrard, an English man, even shed tears directly at the moment he received the trophy, and everyone could understand the bitterness in these tears.

As a player of Liverpool, he is a complete Red, a loyal Red, and when Liverpool did not perform well, he still did not choose to leave, such a player, can really be described as great.

Next, the host announced the winners of the best defender and best goalkeeper, who were Chelsea captain John Brown. John Terry and AC Milan goalkeeper Dida.

For these two awards, the public disagrees the most.

Best Defender John. Terry is okay, although his skills are not the best among defenders, but as the captain of the championship team, his fighting spirit on the field is worthy of recognition, in last season's European Champions Cup, Terry repeatedly used his body to block the ball, for Chelsea's defense to save the danger, this performance is definitely worthy of recognition.

However, there are many objections to the best goalkeeper.

Originally, in the hearts of everyone, this award should have belonged to Chelsea goalkeeper Thomas. Clarke, Thomas has been Chelsea's main goalkeeper in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, and in many games, his performance is obvious to all, that kind of reaction speed and ability, absolutely world-class, and he is also a member of the championship team, and the honor of best goalkeeper is deserved.

However, it was probably UEFA for the sake of balance, so it gave this honor to AC Milan's Brazilian goalkeeper Dida.

Before AC Milan were eliminated by Chelsea, Dida kept the goal without conceding a goal, which was okay.

The reason why I only say yes is because most people feel that AC Milan's clean sheet is more due to the good performance of their defensive line than to how good Dida is, after all, Dida's age is there, he is more than 32 years old, and both his form and ability are declining.

"It's okay, there's a chance next time." At this time, Wang Li walked up to Thomas and comforted him.

Thomas looked up and smiled, and made a Schwarzenegger gesture, and said: "Haha, I'm fine, I'm already very happy to be able to participate in this lottery ceremony." I'm only 20 years old and I'm sure I'll get that honour next season, but if Real Madrid meet Chelsea, your best striker will be gone. ”

Hearing this, Wang Li's face turned dark, and he really felt that it was a mistake for him to come to comfort.

"Wait, I'll let you be kicked into a funnel!" Putting down the cruel words, Wang Li returned to Florentino's side.

In fact, he didn't have time to chat with Thomas, because the next step was to win the Kung Fu Player of the Year winner.

"Last season's best player was Allen. King!!!!!!! ”

As most people think, there is no doubt about the result, and Wang Li won the award of best player directly with his appalling goal figures.

In fact, in general, there are very few pure goalscorers who can win this award, and the best players generally belong to the core of the team, that is, the commander of the team, such as Ronaldinho, Kaka, this type of player.

Although Wang Li is also the heart of Chelsea's attack, he is clearly more of a striker than a core, and his role in the team is more of a goalscorer than a midfield commander.

However, he made up for it with a staggering number of goals, with both Kaka and Ronaldinho leading the way, but AC Milan and Barcelona failed to win the title.

Chelsea are the champions, Wang Li is the most important contributor to Chelsea, and he deserves to be the best player.

After the award ceremony, everyone began to care about the Champions Cup grouping.

At this time, the staff carried out four transparent boxes and placed them on the table in front of the stage, and these four boxes represented the four grades of the team.

The invited guests will take the stage one after another, draw the number representing the team from the box, and divide the group for each team.

As the guests took the stage, soon the seeded teams of the first bracket were drawn one by one and placed in various groups, Real Madrid was placed in Group F, while the sworn rival Barcelona was in Group C, and Chelsea was placed in Group G next to Real Madrid.

Then, the draw of the second-tier team began, and the guests of this draw were very interesting, and the host would arrange some people related to the seeded teams of each group to draw numbers.

When it was Real Madrid's turn to draw in Group F, the host called Wang Li's name, which means that Wang Li went to draw a second-tier team for Real Madrid's Group F.

At this time, the dust has settled on five second-tier teams, and the only remaining teams are Ligue 1 champions Lyon, Premier League rookie Middlesbrough and Portuguese side Porto.

"Middlesbrough, Middlesbrough, Middlesbrough"

When Wang Li came to power, the president of the club next to him, Florentino, kept saying the name in his mouth, and it was obvious that among the three teams, the most fish bag belonged to Middlesbrough, which was led by McClaren last season, jumped to the fourth place in the Premier League, and participated in the play-offs, before entering the Champions League, and this season, McClaren also left, and their participation in the Champions League is just a formality.

Wang Li ignored Florentino's chatter, walked directly to the front desk, and randomly drew a number from the second box.

At this time, the host looked at the number on it and pronounced the name of the team very clearly: "Lyon!!! ”

"Hey~~~~~~"

Hearing the name, everyone burst into laughter, except for Florentino, who let out a sigh of sigh and gloated over Real Madrid's 'luck'.

Among the remaining three teams, it is undoubtedly the French giants Lyon who are the most difficult to gnaw, and it can be said that it is not an exaggeration that this team can sometimes burst out with the strength equivalent to AC Milan and Barcelona.

Of all the second-tier teams, Lyon's strength is definitely the strongest.

Real Madrid's luck is really not good, it should be said that Wang Li's luck is really not good.

The draw continues.

However, there was nothing more to do with Wang Li next, and he was happy to be free, so he walked directly to Thomas and chatted.

Speaking of which, the two haven't seen each other for a long time, and Thomas is undoubtedly Wang Li's best friend, but now that the two are in London and Madrid, it is not easy to meet in general.

In such a situation, the grouping draw ended quickly.

Finally, Real Madrid's Group F team is Real Madrid, Lyon, Olympiacos and Rosenborg.

Rosenborg FC is a Norwegian league team, the Norwegian equivalent of Manchester United's presence in the Premier League, having won the Norwegian league for 11 consecutive years.

Olympiacos Football Club is a club in the Greek First Division, its full name is "Piraeus Olympiacos Lovers Club", which is the largest and most popular football club in Greece.

For teams of the level of Real Madrid and Lyon, these two teams are pure fish bag teams, and it is not easy to pose a threat to both teams.

Although he was a little depressed to draw Lyon, seeing the other two opponents, Florentino's mood was much better, at least Real Madrid's qualification was guaranteed.

After the group draw, the Real Madrid group returned to Madrid that night, although Wang Li was very free, but the other two obviously did not have time to waste in this romantic France.

Originally, Wang Li also planned to take this opportunity to go to the casino Monaco for a turn, but in this case, the plan could only be put on hold.

After all, even if he is banned, he is still a Real Madrid footballer first, whether he can play or not, he must also participate in the team's training, even if he says to the manager: "I don't participate in training, I can keep the form", I'm afraid the manager will not believe it.

With the highest salary in the world, it is obviously unreasonable not to participate in the team's training

The groupings are as follows:

Group A: Bayern Munich, Juventus, Bruchi, Rapid Vienna Group B: Arsenal, Ajax, Sparta Prague, Thun Group C: Barcelona, Panathinaikos, Werder Bremen, Udinese Group D: Manchester United, Villarreal, Lille, Benfica Group E: AC Milan, PSV Eindhoven, Schalke 04, Fenerbahce Group F: Real Madrid, Lyon, Olympiacos, Rosenborg Group G: Chelsea, Middlesbrough, Anderlecht, Betis Group H: Inter Milan, Porto, Rangers, Bratislava
