No. 289: The best striker in the Champions League
When they saw this result, the head coaches of the Barcelona team and the AC Milan team turned pale, this damn draw, this damn luck, both of them almost scolded their mothers. This unfortunate and tragic luck, this is simply fatal.
The head coaches of AC Milan and Barcelona are bleeding at this time, what kind of luck is Nima, how can he encounter such an unlucky thing?
Seeing Barcelona and AC Milan in a group, the managers of other teams on the scene are very happy, and they are often very happy to see others unlucky.
Dongfang Chen was also mourning for Barcelona and AC Milan at this time, and it was indeed unlucky to win such a lottery.
At this moment, Infantino, the secretary general of UEFA, immediately came to the stage and said: "Wow! A battle of the century has been booked, so let's give Bobby Charlton a round of applause for definitely bringing us such a wonderful draw. ”
There were a lot of people applauding at the scene, and the managers and fans of Barcelona and AC Milan were already cursing Infantino in their hearts at this time.
Infantino didn't care about that, he continued: "Now we have the Dutch star Mr. Gullit on stage to draw the team in the third tier for us and announce for us the winner of the best midfielder in the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League! ”
Thunderous applause immediately erupted from the audience, with Dutch star Ruud Gullit walking onto the stage amid applause, and then he went straight to the microphone.
Gullitt took the envelope from Miss Manners, Gullitt opened the envelope directly in front of everyone, and when he saw the name on it, Gullitt himself was shocked, he didn't expect it to be such a list.
Everyone at the scene was also stunned, they didn't know what was going on?
At this moment, Gullit turned the piece of paper in his hand, and everyone saw the contents on it, and everyone was shocked, because it was written - Cristiano Ronaldo.
Yes, you read that right, it's Christy Ronaldo!
Dongfang Chen was shocked, he didn't expect that it was Cristiano Ronaldo, isn't Cristiano Ronaldo nominated for the best striker? How did it suddenly become a midfielder?
Everyone at the scene showed strange expressions, there must be a shadow of UEFA in it, otherwise there would not be such an inexplicable scene.
Cristiano Ronaldo walked up to the stage and won the trophy, but he only said thank you and stepped down directly, it seems that he is very reluctant to accept the award of best midfielder, it seems that he values the award of best striker even more.
The scene was silent, and no one expected such a problem.
At this time, Infantino didn't want everyone to stay on this topic, and he immediately reminded Gullit to hurry up and draw the third pot team.
Hearing Infantino's words, everyone turned their attention to the lottery ceremony. Among the teams in this third bracket, there are still teams with extreme strength, such as Bayer Leverkusen from the Bundesliga, and Manchester City from the Premier League.
Therefore, these two teams are enough to create a group of death, so the team that was drawn out in front of them is still very, very nervous.
At this time, Dongfang Chen and Arsène Wenger are of course also nervous, although they and Manchester City are a league team and are to be avoided. However, Bayer Leverkusen is not an easy team to play against, and the two are still very nervous.
The first team to be drawn from this third bracket will be in Group 1, which is the group of Bayern Munich and Villarreal. Only the Bundesliga team in the third pot does not have a La Liga team, so they will only beat Bayer Leverkusen, although the other seven teams have already been drawn.
Gullit immediately pulled out a ball, and then he opened it in front of the public, and it said Manchester City in between!
Yes, it's Manchester City!
The whole scene was shocked, everyone's breath was stagnant, they didn't expect that the first one to pull out was Manchester City.
Oh my God, how bad luck did Bayern Munich and Villarreal have to be for them to be the first to draw Manchester City?
The group of death, the absolute group of death!
At this time, the head coaches of Bayern Munich and Villarreal turned pale, they were really shocked by their bad luck, they really didn't expect that they would be so bad, they actually drew Manchester City directly, they were about to cry at this time.
Arsène Wenger and Dongfang Chen glanced at each other, and they were also shocked. Of course, they also have a sense of happiness in it, and if their Arsenal team is placed in such a group, they really can't imagine it.
The managers of Bayern Munich and Villarreal were about to cry, but the managers of other teams were relieved, and Manchester City was taken away at once, and they were relieved.
Next, Gullit will draw the third team in the second group, the teams in the second group are Inter Milan and CSKA Most, and the third team will be avoided by Zenit St. Petersburg, and the other teams will be drawn at will.
However, at this time, Manchester City were still sucked away, and they were relatively easy, although Bayer Leverkusen are also strong, but they believe their luck will not be so bad.
Sure enough, Gullit pulled out Lille, who came from Ligue 1, and the head coach of Inter Milan and Moscow Central Army immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and luckily.
The next step is to draw the third team in the third group, this group has Manchester United and Benfica, this group of teams in the third tier is not evasive, Manchester United and Benfica have a more relaxed manager, if they do not avoid the team, they have a lower chance of drawing Bayer Leverkusen, which is good news for them.
Gullit drew out Basel from Ligue 1, and the manager of Manchester United and Benfica were both relieved, but fortunately it was not Bayer Leverkusen.
This was followed by the third team drawn from Group 4, which included Chelsea and Valencia, and there were no teams to avoid in Pot 3, with Boundkusen being drawn by Gullit.
Chelsea's head coach Boas's face changed slightly, but the situation is okay, Chelsea should be able to get a place to qualify, so Boas is not too worried, but the head coach of the Benfica team has a very bad face, and the head coach of Bayer Leverkusen has a very bad face.
Seeing that Bayer Leverkusen was drawn, Arsène Wenger and Dongfang Chen looked at each other again, they both felt that their luck was simply too good, AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen were avoided by them, this luck was simply a bunker.
The teams drawn by Gullit were Olympiacos, Zenit St. Petersburg and Borisov. The managers of Barcelona and AC Milan saw Borisov feel a little better when they saw their third opponents.
After the draw of the third bracket team was completed, Infantino immediately walked up to the stage at this time, and then said directly: "Thank you, Mr. Gullit, we will ask Mr. Mateus to draw the fourth bracket team for us, and announce the winner of the best striker in the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League!" ”
Mateus walked on the stage, at this time, Dongfang Chen was very nervous, he felt that he had won the award. But Cristiano Ronaldo actually won the best midfielder, which made Dongfang Chen still a little worried.
However, Mateus announced with a grin: "The winner of the best striker in the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League is Arsenal of the Premier League!" ”
Dongfang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked on the stage excitedly to accept the award.
In front of the microphone, Dongfang Chen said: "Thank you very much for your trust, I am very happy to receive this award, which is an affirmation of my efforts last season!" Thank you so much! I'll keep working hard in the new season and I won't let you down, absolutely not! ”
Dongfang Chen bowed and stepped down, and then it was the final draw ceremony.
There are also teams with superior strength in the fourth tier, that is, Napoli and Borussia Dortmund. Time. Explode. Bullet, no one wants to draw these two teams.
However, Bayern Munich, Villarreal and Manchester City were unlucky, because the first team to be drawn by Mateus was Napoli, and the Group of Death, the Group of Death in the absolute sense of the word, was born, and the managers of all the teams in this first group were extremely pale.
The second to be drawn was Trabzonspor Sport, the third was Galats Storm, the fourth was Dinamo Zagreb and the fifth was Genk.
By this time, Dortmund was still not drawn out, Arsène Wenger and Dongfang Chen had an ominous premonition in their hearts, and this premonition was getting stronger and stronger, did they really want to draw Dortmund?
Arsène Wenger and Dongfang Chen were in a very bad mood at this time, and they very much did not want to draw Dortmund.
At this point, Mateus immediately drew a ball, and then he opened the ball and took out the note inside. After Mateus opened the folded note, his face changed, and Arsène Wenger and Dongfangchen's hearts instantly fell to the bottom.
At this time, German star Mateus had no ink, and directly turned the piece of paper in his hand, and Dongfang Chen and Arsène Wenger instantly saw the content on the piece of paper clearly - Dortmund.
Nima, I really don't want to be biased, Dongfang Chen is in a bad mood. Arsène Wenger's mood was even worse.
Of course, the managers of the rest of the teams are in a very good mood, especially the managers of Barcelona and AC Milan, and they can't help but worry about the group of death.
The last two teams drawn by Mateus were Atlético Greeks and Vitoria Plzen.
In this way, the draw for the group stage of the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League season was completed, and the grouping was as follows:
