Chapter 430: The draw of lots for the group has come again
Grimaldi Convention Centre, Monte Carlo, Monaco.
BBC presenter Pedro Pinto and Miss Switzerland Melanie Wienig took to the stage to preside over the draw for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
"Welcome, here is the draw for the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group stage." BBC presenter Pedro Pinto said.
Pedro Pinto has a lot of personality, and according to many people, this person looks a bit like Ronaldo back then.
Standing next to Pedro Pinto was Miss Switzerland Melanie Vienig in 1996. Melanie Vienig is wearing a tight black backless dress today, and the chest is a little low, revealing a seductive deep V.
In the aesthetic concept of Oriental people, Melanie Vienig is not beautiful, and many netizens claim that a woman looks like a man in every place except for her figure.
However, in the eyes of Westerners, Melanie Vinig should be a beauty, a big beauty.
Let's not talk about Melanie Vinig's face, let's talk about her figure, this woman's figure is really good, convex and backward. The main thing is that her waist is very thin, and the skeleton of her crotch is large, which gives her a plump hip and a straight upper circumference.
So this is a beautiful woman with an extremely hot figure, and with that face that conforms to the aesthetics of Westerners, she is really a bit unreasonable if she does not become Miss Switzerland.
However, Dongfang Chen is a little unable to accept such aesthetics.
Therefore, Dongfang Chen has no other thoughts about Melanie Vinig on stage, and now Melanie Vinig is thirty-four years old.
However, many players are now very eager to spend the night with this beautiful woman on stage.
Melanie Vienig immediately said: "The annual UEFA Champions League is back in action and a new round of competition is about to take place. The heroes of all walks of life are fierce soldiers, gearing up, and the thick smoke of gunpowder seems to have hit us. I can't wait. ”
Pedro Pinto immediately said: "Before we go ahead to this season's UEFA Champions League, let's take a look back at last season's UEFA Champions League. ”
A highlight of last season's UEFA Champions League immediately appeared on the big screen at the scene, from the initial league start, from the draw, from the Grimaldi Convention Center, to the Kuangda stadium, one after another wonderful games were staged, there were laughter, tears, more struggle, and honors......
The last image on the big screen is reserved for Real Madrid, which is a painting of Real Madrid holding up the Big Ears Cup, which carries the huge amount of Real Madrid last season. Honor.
As soon as the big screen went black, everyone instantly returned to the calm Grimaldi Convention Center from the heavy smoke of the past season. The video just started at the Grimaldi Convention Center, and now it ends at the Grimaldi Convention Center, and the new season is about to start here, this is the reincarnation!
Pedro Pinto immediately said: "After watching the games in the past, I think everyone's blood is boiling, and now we are coming to the Champions League for the new season. ”
Melanie Vignig said: "Now we don't want to waste time, we have asked UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino to give us an overview of the UEFA Champions League group stage draw rules this season! ”
The venue immediately burst into thunderous applause, and in the midst of applause, Infantino stepped onto the rostrum.
Coming to the stage, Infantino immediately said: "Now let me introduce you to the draw rules for the group stage of this year's UEFA Champions League!" ”
In fact, the draw rules for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League are almost the same, and there are no major changes, which are similar to the past.
The teams that reached the round of 32 of the UEFA Champions League were divided into four brackets. The four grades are divided as follows:
Pot 1: Bayern Munich (Germany), Barcelona (Spain), Chelsea (England), Real Madrid (Spain), Manchester United (England), Arsenal (England), Porto (Portugal), Benfica (Portugal)
Pot 2: Atletico Madrid (Spain), Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), AC Milan (Italy), Schalke 04 (Germany), Marseille (France), CSKA Moscow (Russia), Paris Saint-Germain (France), Juventus (Italy)
Pot 3: Zenit St. Petersburg (Russia), Manchester City (England), Ajax (Netherlands), Borussia Dortmund (Germany), Basel (Switzerland), Olympiacos (Greece), Galatasaray (Turkey), Bayer Leverkusen (Germany)
Pot 4: FC Copenhagen (Denmark), Napoli (Italy), Anderlecht (Belgium), Celtic (Scotland), Bucharest Stars (Romania), Viktoria Viktoria Viktoria (Czech Republic), Real Sociedad (Spain), Austria Vladi. Yena (Austria)
It was a surprise that there were two teams from Portugal in the first tier this time, and the Portuguese teams did well in the recent Champions League, but of course they were good opponents in the eyes of many.
Obviously, Portugal's Porto and Benfica are much worse than other teams in the same tier, and the teams behind will naturally want to be in the same group as these two teams.
However, all of the teams in the first tier are teams that have won the Big Ears Cup, and the teams in the first tier seem to be worthy of their name.
In the second to fourth tier teams, Juventus, AC Milan, Marseille, Ajax, Borussia Dortmund, Bucharest Stars, and Celtic have also won the European Champions Cup before.
This time, there is no team from Italy in the first bracket, which also shows that the Serie A league is really declining, and it is gradually surpassed by other leagues, and there is no longer the style of the small World Cup that year.
This is a very bad thing for those fans who love Serie A.
The Premier League is still the hottest league, although their Premier League teams performed very poorly in the Champions League last season, and they all went out early, and there were no Premier League teams even in the top four, which is rare in recent years.
The rules of this season's UEFA Champions League group stage draw are the same as in the past, except that the rest of the Football Association will avoid them.
After introducing the group stage of this season's UEFA Champions League, the host Pedro Pinto immediately said: "Now we have asked former Celtic superstar McNeil to escort the sacred UEFA Champions League trophy St. Bride to the stadium. ”
Dongfang Chen immediately turned his head, and suddenly a figure appeared at the gate, this person was Qian Celtic superstar McNeil, who once won the UEFA Champions League with the Celtics.
At this time, McNeil walked in with a big-eared cup, and the people at the scene immediately burst into thunderous applause.
McNeil walked up to the stage to applause and placed the championship trophy on the stage.
"Next we have Portuguese superstar and UEFA Champions League ambassador Luis Figo on stage to draw lots." Melanie Vinig said immediately.
Louis Figo, dressed in a suit, walked onto the stage with a smile,
The crowd immediately erupted in thunderous applause, and Luis Figo waved enthusiastically to the crowd.
"Before the draw, we asked Mr. Luis Figo to present the best goalkeeper award in last season's Champions League. Pedro Pinto, a BBC commentator, said immediately.
"Last season's Champions League goalkeeper of the year was ......," Luis Figo said immediately.
Casillas did very well in Real Madrid's final title last season, but their opponents Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer also did very well, and the two are the biggest rivals.
At this point, the camera focused on the two and then returned to Luis Figo. Seeing the camera return to him, Louis Figo immediately shouted: "Congratulations to Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer!" ”
Bayern Munich fans are very excited to hear this voice, they are very excited, this is what they are most happy to see, Neuer won the best goalkeeper, haha, here we defeated Real Madrid, avenging last season's arrow!
Next, Louis Figo and McNeil worked together to draw the teams in the first tier. Chelsea were drawn in Group E, Real Madrid in Group B, Bayern in Group D, Barcelona in Group H, Benfica in Group C, Porto in Group G and Manchester United in Group A.
"Okay, we're going to thank Mr. McNeil now for his contributions, and a round of applause." Pedro Pinto, the BBC's commentator, said immediately.
"Okay, then we'll ask Mr. Luis Figo to talk about last season's Champions League defender award." Melanie Vinig said immediately.
Luis Figo didn't sell this time, he said directly: "Congratulations to Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos, you were the best defender in the Champions League last season. ”
Sergio Ramos excitedly took the stage to accept the award and then stepped down.
"Next, we have the Dutch legend Mr. Cruyff and ask him to draw the second team with Mr. Figo." Pedro Pinto said immediately.
Figo and Cruyff have not worked together on the pitch, so they have a chance to work together at the draw ceremony. Soon the duo placed Marseille in Group F, AC Milan in Group H, Schalke 04 in Group E, Paris Saint-Germain in Group C, CSKA Moscow in Group D, Atletico Madrid in Group G, Juventus in Group B and Shakhtar Donetsk in Group A.
By this time, the first two brackets had been separated, and the managers of each team were analysing the format to see if the situation was in their favour.
Real Madrid are in a very bad mood at this time, because Juventus, the most powerful team in the second tier, has been placed in their group, and they seem to know that their luck is not very good, and it is very likely that they will encounter a group of death today.
