Chapter 13: The Death Gang (98/134)

The various awards presented before the Champions League draw have little to do with Lazio. Mariogötze, who was selected in last season's European Team of the Year, only came up to the stage to receive an award after the draw ceremony, and then took a photo with 10 other players, not the protagonist at all.

The winner of the European Ballon d'Or is Chelsea's central midfielder, Khazar, as the media has previously revealed.

He was the main contributor to Chelsea's Champions League and league titles last season.

He became famous very early, and now he has finally achieved positive results.

Roberto Di Matteo relied on Chelsea's devastating performances last season to win the European Coach of the Year award last season.

This honor has not been given before, only the FIFA annual awards have the best coach award.

However, after Chang Sheng announced that he would no longer attend the FIFA awards ceremony, UEFA immediately added such a best coach award.

At that time, the media said sourly what "father's love is like a mountain", because anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is Platini's compensation for Chang Sheng.

Chang Sheng refused to attend the FIFA awards ceremony, thinking that he had a complete personal fall out with FIFA. Naturally, FIFA is not going to be awarding the best coach award to Chang Winner.

As the best coach, how can you miss the honors?

So Platini immediately thought of it for Chang Sheng.

I have to say that Platini is really good for Chang Win.

This friendship lasted until Platini became president of FIFA.

So now Chang Sheng has a good relationship with FIFA, and conversely, his relationship with UEFA is not as good as before.

came to be a son of heaven and a courtier, Chang Sheng enjoyed enough preferential treatment here in Platini, there are many people who like him, and there are also many people who hate him. Some people even don't like Platini. So it's not customary to win.

Now that Platini doesn't care about UEFA, those anti-Platini forces in UEFA come to power and return to power, so it is natural to take action against the "Platini's minions" Chang Sheng.

So last season, "Roma Sport" once shouted for the constant victory after Lazio was eliminated from the Champions League, believing that this was purely a continuation of the political struggle at the top of UEFA, and Lazio was hacked by UEFA.

The criticism of the newspaper Roma Sport caused a stir at the time.

However, the Roma Sport newspaper lacked strong evidence and was only a speculation, so in the end their protest was over.

Chang Sheng didn't come forward to say anything at that time.

For being eliminated. He didn't say that UEFA was behind it.

At the time, it was quite surprising, but I didn't expect that Chang Sheng, who had been fighting with authority, would also admit it.

Of course, soon, the matter was revealed.

Nor will UEFA allow anyone to question their impartiality on an ongoing basis.

※※※

Unexpectedly, this time at the Champions League draw ceremony, everyone deeply felt UEFA's malice towards winning constantly......

As a seeded team, Lazio was placed in a group of death by UEFA!

Their opponents in the group stage are Real Madrid, the strongest team in the second tier. Borussia Dortmund, the strongest team in Pot 3, and Nottingham Forest, Pot 4.

Nottingham Forest were promoted to the Premier League five seasons ago and then took four seasons to qualify for the Champions League, their first Champions League campaign since 1980-1981. It was also the first time since the 1995-1996 season that he returned to Europe.

Nottingham Forest's rise has been largely due to their manager, Tony Towne. It took seven seasons for the Nottingham-based coach to finally bring the old powerhouse back to Europe.

Their return is a focal point in European football this summer.

At the same time, Chen Jian, the Chinese midfielder in the Nottingham Forest team, is also an important figure that Nottingham Forest can regain its strength. He and England international George Wood form a midfield duo that is England's strongest midfield duo and a key contributor to Nottingham Forest's Champions League qualification.

They swept past former Ligue 1 giants Lyon 7-1 over two legs in Champions League qualifying.

Many media and pundits have already regarded Nottingham Forest as the most anticipated dark horse in the Champions League this season.

Lazio, who are perennial winners, have been drawn into a group with three such teams.

It's a veritable group of death!

None of the other seven groups can compare to Group C, where Lazio are located.

When the draw came out, many people thought of last season's Roma Sport's shady chapter that denounced UEFA.

Now it seems that ...... Roma Sport is right!

The result of the draw for this group of UEFA. It is clear that they don't want to let the winning team advance to the knockout stage!

After the draw results came out, the live broadcast gave Chang Sheng a close-up for the first time.

It's not just cameras. Almost everyone in the venue immediately set their sights on Chang Sheng.

Everyone wants to see what kind of expression and performance Chang Win will have in the face of the hidden draw results.

They all know that Chang Sheng is a person who initiates a rush to the six relatives and does not recognize him.

Think that FIFA gave David Silva's inevitable Ballon d'Or to Messi, causing David Silva to lose his first FIFA Ballon d'Or.

At that time, the angry Chang Shengcai didn't care that everyone was celebrating and cheering for Messi, went straight to the stage, and then asked for the microphone from the hostess, and made a very famous speech against FIFA, which was transmitted to the whole world for the first time through the live TV signal.

The ever-winning bombardment of FIFA turned into big news for sports festivals around the world the next day.

The relationship between Changsheng and FIFA also deteriorated rapidly, and it was not until Platini became FIFA president that the two sides reconciled.

Even FIFA dares to bombard it in person, let alone UEFA?

Maybe we can see another wonderful show today?

Even the audience in front of the TV began to look forward to it.

Looking forward to the constant victory, the same havoc as the heavenly palace, UEFA is made.

However, to the disappointment of these people, Chang Sheng did not rise up angrily and then went on stage to give an impassioned speech, but sat peacefully in his place. A smile appeared on his face.

That's all, just a smile, and he didn't even change his posture.

This performance is somewhat bland.

After the lottery ceremony, Chang Sheng just came out, and was surrounded by more media, and everyone naturally wanted to hear Chang Sheng's views and evaluations of this lottery ceremony.

Chang Sheng's response to this was a slight smile.

He declined the media's request for an interview, smiled and waved his hand and quickly left the venue.

During the whole process, he only left everyone with an unfathomable smile.

※※※

Then the next day. The media has given a lot of interpretations about this smile.

Some people say that this is just an ordinary smile, indicating that Changsheng has peace of mind. , didn't take it seriously.

Others say that the smile of the winning man signifies his surrender to UEFA, just as he did last season. Confessed.

Others believe that Chang Sheng's smile is actually a sneer, and Chang Sheng uses this smile to show his disdain for UEFA.

In addition, some people said that Chang Sheng was angry - UEFA manipulated the draw results so bluntly, Chang Sheng was deeply angry, angry to the extreme, and naturally laughed.

In short, Chang Sheng's unfathomable smile has aroused great interest. Guess what it means to win. It has also become a gimmick hyped by the media.

After all, UEFA has gone too far, and this is a blatant attempt to let Chang Sheng die in the group of death.

Although they have not performed well in the Champions League for several seasons in a row, Real Madrid's quality is there, and they are the strongest team in the second tier. Not an exaggeration at all.

And Lazio spent two seasons digging tirelessly to finally poach Isco from Real Madrid, which has always been unhappy about this matter. If it weren't for Isco's resolute attitude. They will never let people go.

Because Isco is a "new feud" between Real Madrid and Lazio, in order to take revenge. In the match against Lazio, they will definitely play at a high level and try to finish Lazio.

Borussia Dortmund had not played in the Champions League for several seasons in a row, resulting in a low number of European points, so they could only be placed in the third tier of teams. But in fact, as soon as this sub-file came out, it caused controversy. Everyone thinks that Dortmund is a team that can be put in the second tier, because they are definitely a lot higher than the other third tier teams.

So it's no exaggeration to say that Borussia Dortmund are the strongest team in the third tier.

As a result, these strongest teams actually got together in a group, and this probability was too small, so Lazio met them.

To say that there was no manipulation of this lottery ceremony, it is really that no one believes it.

Many Italian and Chinese media outlets have complained about Lazio after the draw results came out.

"Shame! Disgrace! Shame on UEFA! ”

So did the newspaper "Roma Sport".

"The Champions League draw made us realise that even in European football, there is never anything transparent and fair. UEFA absolutely manipulated the results of the draw. The purpose is very simple, that is, to clean up the ...... that has always been disobedient."

This is a Chinese online media.

The rest of the media also said that UEFA had gone too far, was too naked, and completely took everyone else for stupidity.

Even FIFA president Michel Platini expressed surprise at the draw.

"The probability of these four teams getting together in a group is too low, I didn't expect it to really appear like this. I think all of us witnessed a miracle last night......"

Platini scoffed.

After he left UEFA, he was his opponent who was in charge of UEFA, and he naturally would not let go of this opportunity to ridicule his sworn enemy.
