This time to Nyon to Dongfang Chen very touched, many old friends let Dongfang Chen team have a new understanding of life, he firmly believes that these new understandings will allow him to better face the future.

The next day, Dongfang Chen and Real Madrid coach Benitez, as well as Real Madrid staff and players, went to Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Monte Carlo in Monaco is not far from Nyon, Switzerland, and it doesn't take long to get there by bus.

Monte Carlo is a world-renowned gambling city, but Dongfang Chen and others came here today but didn't have the heart to go to the casino to play, they all came with a very heavy heart today, and no one wanted to draw a bad group today.

The draw for this season's UEFA Champions League group stage was again held at the Grimaldi Convention Centre in Monte Carlo.

Dongfang Chen and all the coaches, players and staff of all the teams participating in the Champions League group stage this season walked into the Grimaldi Convention Center, and they were all ready to prepare for the draw ceremony for this season's Champions League group stage.

After all the guests were present, Pinto and Vinig, the hosts of the draw ceremony, stood on the podium of the Grimaldi Convention Center on time.

"Hello the audience, great managers and stars, this is the draw for the group stage of the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League, and I'm Pinto." The presenter, Pinto, immediately said.

"Hello everyone, I'm the host Venig." Vinig, who was standing beside Pinto, also said immediately.

"I'm really happy that the annual Champions League group stage draw is here again, and I think everyone can't wait now!" The host, Pinto, immediately said jokingly.

"So now let's take a look back at the exciting games and moving moments of the Champions League season." The host, Vignig, said immediately.

At this time, the big screen behind the two supporters began to replay the highlights of last season's UEFA Champions League, from the group stage to the knockout stage to the final.

Looking at the game on the big screen, Dongfang Chen fell into a memory, last season, the Arsenal team was very successful, and they finally won the Champions League. Many people have seen the glory and success of the Arsenal team, but no one has seen the hardships and dedication behind the success of the Arsenal team.

Last season, Arsenal's squad was definitely not strong, and even compared with many giants, his squad was very cheap, before the start of last season, almost all the media were not optimistic about the Arsenal team, thinking that Arsenal's ability to qualify for next season's European competition this season was extremely successful.

Before the start of the season, a lot of media poured cold water on the Arsenal team, and many teams in the Premier League did not take the Arsenal team seriously.

However, it was in such a situation that the Arsenal team miraculously fought to the end, not only winning the Premier League, but even the Champions League, which broke everyone's glasses.

Arsenal's performance last season was a miracle in the eyes of many, and many even called it the "Arsenal miracle".

In such a situation, the players of the Arsenal team must have given a lot, and the suffering they faced was unimaginable to many. Therefore, seeing the process of the Arsenal team winning the championship again, Dongfang Chen was very touched in his heart, and I don't know when, tears have hung in the corners of Dongfang Chen's eyes.

"Okay, after seeing the highlights and moving moments of last season's UEFA Champions League, all we have to do now is to introduce you to the rules of this season's UEFA Champions League group draw." Narrator Pinto said.

Vinig immediately said: "The rules of the draw for this season's Champions League group stage are the same as before, it is still the same principle as the teams under the Football Association, and the teams in each group are from the first to the fourth tier, and at the same time as the draw, we will award the best player award in last season's Champions League." ”

At this time, the big screen behind the host immediately appeared on the season bracket.

According to UEFA's club points, the eight teams seeded this time are Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Porto, AC Milan and Valencia.

Arsenal were automatically seeded as champions last season, but the Gunners are also in the top eight on points, behind leaders Barcelona and Manchester United, while seven of the top eight Pot 1 teams have won titles, with Valencia alone never playing the Big Ears Cup.

The teams in the second pot are Tottenham Hotspur, Benfica, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St. Petersburg, Schalke 04, Manchester City, Braga, Dynamo Kiev, among which Benfica, who had the best table last season, reached the top eight in the Champions League, and the Portuguese Super League powerhouse Benfica is also the only team in the second pot of eight teams to have won the Champions League.

And the most dangerous team in this bracket is the Premier League upstart Manchester City. Manchester City's recent investment has been huge, and this summer, their investment is also very strong, everyone can see the ambition of Manchester City, and the teams in the first tier are naturally reluctant to draw Manchester City.

Pot 3 includes Olympiacos, Ajax, Anderlecht, Juventus, Spartak Moscow, Paris Saint-Germain, Fenerbahce and Lille, with Ajax and Juventus both Champions League winners.

Of course, the most eye-catching in the third tier is Paris Saint-Germain from Ligue 1, and they spent 140 million yuan to build an all-star squad this summer, which is not to be underestimated.

This third-tier team is the strongest in recent years.

Pot 4 includes Borisov, Dinamo Zagreb, Cluj, Malaga, Montpellier, North Zealand, Celtic and Borussia Dortmund, with Celtic and Borussia Dortmund both former champions, and this pot also boasts last season's Scotland, Germany, Belarus, Croatia, Romania, France and Denmark league titles.

Málaga, Montpellier and North Zealand are all Champions League finalists for the first time.

Looking at these four grades of grouping, everyone knows that there is definitely a group of death in the group stage of the Champions League this season, or even a super group of death. Because in the third pot there are teams like Ajax, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain. In the fourth bracket, there are teams like Celtic and Borussia Dortmund.

That's why the coaches and players of each team have such solemn expressions, and no one wants to be placed in the group of death.

Next, UEFA President Gianni Infantino took the stage, where he addressed the guests and then explained the rules.

Infantino concluded: "We now have Manchester United legend Dennis Law on stage to reveal last season's Champions League goalkeeper of the year!" ”

Manchester United legend Dennis Law stepped up to the podium, he took the card handed by the hostess, he looked at it carefully, then took a deep breath and read with a heartfelt voice: "The best goalkeeper in the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League is ......"

At this time, Handanovic, Casillas and Nou are very nervous as they make it to the final trio.

Dennis Law paused, then shouted out: "Handanovic! ”

In the Arsenal lineup, Handanovic stood up excitedly, he excitedly shook hands with his teammates around him, at this time he was really very excited, his face was red.

Dongfang Chen, on the other hand, gave a scorching applause to his former teammates.

After Handanovic took the stage to accept the award, the host Pinto said directly: "Now we have invited England's Mr. McMaraman to the stage, and he will help me draw the first team." ”

In this first tier, Dennis Law and McMalaman draw the team, and McMaraman draws the group.

At this time, the people of the first-tier team were paying serious attention to this draw ceremony, and Dongfang Chen was also concentrating.

Suddenly, Dennis Law drew the first team, only to see that it said - Real Madrid!

Seeing this, Dongfang Chen was surprised, he really didn't expect that Real Madrid would be the first team to be drawn. At this time, the Real Madrid personnel are very serious, they are all watching, and they are going to be drawn into that group.

At this time, McMallaman showed the piece of paper he had pulled out, and it read - D!

Former Real Madrid star player McMaraman drew Real Madrid into Group D, which is also known as Group 4.

Next, Dennis Law and McMaraman drew all the teams in Pot 1, they were Bayern Munich Group F, Barcelona Group G, Porto Group A, AC Milan Group C, Valencia Group E, Manchester United Group H, and Arsenal automatically entered Group B.

This bracket of teams is not very thrilling, because this first group draw is just a sequence. And the thrilling draw is the next draw.

In the middle of the second tier of teams, Tottenham Hotspur, Schalke 04 and Manchester City are many teams that are reluctant to draw lots, and Real Madrid is naturally unwilling to draw one of these three teams.

After the departure of Dennis Law and McMallaman, Pinto brought on Liberian star George Weah, who will be drawn in the second tier of the team, but before that, George Weah will be the first to announce last season's Champions League defender of the best defender.

George Weah announced: "The winner of the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League Defender of the Year is John Terry! ”

Chelsea's centre-back John Terry won the award for best defender, while champions Arsenal's centre-back Mertesacker was left out of the category.

Then came the tense moment, with both the second and first team members nervous and their eyes fixed on Liberian star Mr. George Weah.

The first team to be drawn by Mr. George Weah was Shakhtar Donetsk in the Ukrainian Premier League, who were drawn from Group E, which is Valencia. When the Valencia personnel saw the result, they were relieved, but fortunately it wasn't Manchester City, and they were already very satisfied with the result.

The managers of the other first-tier teams frowned slightly, and with one less Shakhtar Donetsk, their chances of drawing Manchester City were much greater.
