Dongfang Chen really didn't expect that Florentino would look at the grass and ask him to join Real Madrid.

Dongfang Chen can feel the sincerity of Real Madrid, but he still hasn't been able to promise Florentino, and now he has no intention of transferring. However, Dongfang Chen gave Florentino a good guy card, saying that if Dongfang Chen had the intention of transferring, he would consider Real Madrid first.

Although Florentino was still unable to persuade Dongfang Chen this time, through the conversation between Guò and Dongfang Chen, Florentino knew that he had won Dongfang Chen's favor, and even got a promise, he was also worth the trip!

After the meeting with Florentino, Dongfang Chen went directly back to the casino to find Van Persie.

At this time, Van Persie also happened to get up, it seems that this guy is also exhausted, as soon as the two met, they immediately walked together, ready to leave the casino.

The two of them didn't play here for a long time, only about two hours.

Dongfang Chen didn't play much at all, and they all chatted with Florentino. Naturally, he didn't lose much, and when he left, he had more than eight hundred francs left.

And Comrade Van Persie didn't even lose much, and he still had seven hundred francs left in his hands. It seems that Comrade Van Persie is not a bad gambler.

When he returned to the hotel, Arsène Wenger's assistant Bald was already waiting. He knew that the two guys went to the casino, but he didn't criticize the two people, after all, this car was still very punctual, and it was not too much, so Balder did not pursue the two.

After returning from the casino, Dongfang Chen felt exhausted, and he immediately went to bed to rest and recharge for tomorrow's UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony.

The draw for the group stage of the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League will take place on the evening of the second day. The time of the night passed quickly, and the next day came.

At noon the next day, Arsène Wenger arrived at the hotel. After resting in the hotel for a while, Arsène Wenger led Dongfang Chen and others to the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monte Carlo to participate in the lottery ceremony.

The teams that reached the top 32 of this year's UEFA Champions League are Barcelona, Real Madrid, Valencia, Villarreal, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Napoli, Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmont, Lyon, Lille, Basel, Marseille, Porto, Benfica, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St. Petersburg, CSKA Moscow, Dynamo Kyiv, Olympiacos, Ajax, Fenerbahce, Borisov, Dinamo Zagreb, Genke, Vitoria Plzen, Galatz Storm, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City.

In the top 32 of the Champions League, there are 22 teams that directly qualify for the main competition, namely the top three teams in La Liga, Serie A and the Premier League, the top two teams in the Bundesliga, French League 1 and the Russian Premier League, and the league champions of 7 other countries. In addition, there are 10 teams that qualify for the Champions League by way of the play-offs.

Among them, giants such as Bayern Munich and Arsenal also qualified for the Champions League qualifying play-offs to advance to the round of 32 of this season's UEFA Champions League.

In the early hours of this morning, UEFA officially announced that because last season's Turkish Super League champion Fenerbahce was under investigation for match-fixing, he was disqualified by the Turkish Football Association, and UEFA announced that it would be replaced by the runner-up Trabzonspor to participate in the round of 32 draw.

At this point, the top 32 of the new season's UEFA Champions League can be regarded as the dust has settled, and the top 32 of the new season's Champions League are from 17 European countries or regions.

In the new season, there are four teams in the Premier League and La Liga, three teams in each of the three major leagues of Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1, two teams each from Russia and Portugal, and one team from 11 countries or regions.

According to UEFA's club points, the 32 teams are divided into four brackets. The eight teams seeded this time are Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Porto, Inter Milan and Chelsea.

In terms of the top 32 classifications, the top three teams of the Premier League, La Liga, Bayern Munich, Porto, and Inter Milan are seeded, of which Barcelona is the winner of the Champions League last season and is listed as the seeded team, but the Barcelona team's points also entered the top eight, and even Barcelona's points are leading the top 32.

The strength of the Barcelona team is very strong, and there are six teams in the first tier that have won the Champions League, among which Chelsea and Arsenal have not won the Champions League after that, which is also an embarrassing situation for the Arsenal team.

The teams in Pot 2 are AC Milan, Lyon, Valencia, Benfica, Shakhtar Donetsk, Villarreal, Marseille and CSKA Moscow. The teams in this second tier are not weak, and the Rossoneri are very good, they have won the Champions League many times, and their strength is outstanding.

Among them, Lyon, Valencia, Benfica and other teams are not easy to mess with, and these teams are also strong contenders for the right to qualify from each group.

The teams in the third tier are Manchester City, Bayer Leverkusen, Ajax, Zenit St. Petersburg, Olympiacos, Lille, Basel and Borisov. Among these teams, Manchester City from the Premier League should not be underestimated, although they have not played in the Champions League for many years, but they have spent a lot of money in the transfer market, as well as a large number of reinforcements, their strength is super strong, it can be said that they can compete for the top of the group, if anyone is in a group with Manchester City, this will definitely be a group of death.

In addition to Manchester City, there are also Bayer Leverkusen, Ajax, Zenit St. Petersburg and other teams in this third group, and these teams are also capable of attacking the right to qualify from the group.

The teams that are placed in the fourth pot are Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund, Serie A runners-up Napoli, Sagonab Dinamo, Atletico Greeks and Trabzonspora. Genk, Galatz Storm and Viktoria Plzeň.

The strength of the Bundesliga champion Dortmund in this fourth tier is very strong, they can win the Bundesliga title, they can kill Bayern Munich, which shows that they are super strong, this score in the fourth tier is simply dedicated to creating the group of death.

There is also Napoli, the third runner-up from the Serie A, their strength is also very strong, there are a lot of demons in their team, and even their strength is to impact the Serie A championship, this team is also a bone that has always been difficult to gnaw, this team is obviously also a team that creates the group of death.

Of course, except for these two teams, the other teams in the fourth tier are weaker, and there is almost no hope of qualifying from the group, they are all here to accompany the prince to study.

At this time, the head coaches and staff of the various teams led their players to the Grimaldi Convention Centre, where they were all waiting for the draw for the group stage of the Champions League.

This time, in addition to the draw, it is natural that the best players from last season's UEFA Champions League will be awarded.

Last season's best players in each position have yet to be selected, but there are three nominees in each position, and they are all here today, waiting for the judgment of fate, and they are all looking forward to winning the award.

Dongfang Chen is here today because he is the captain of the Arsenal team, and he was also nominated for the best striker in last year's UEFA Champions League and the best player in last season's UEFA Champions League, and he is competing for both awards.

The UEFA Champions League striker of the best striker, nominated along with Dongfang Chen, is Leo Messi from Barcelona and Christie Ronaldo from Real Madrid. Along with Dongfang Chen, the best player in the UEFA Champions League was nominated by Leo Messi from Barcelona and Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid.

Dongfang Chen was the top scorer in the UEFA Champions League last season, and his goal tally far surpassed that of second-placed Leo Messi, and he still has some advantages in the competition for the best striker in the UEFA Champions League. However, he also had the disadvantage that Arsenal did not reach the last four of last season's UEFA Champions League, where they were eliminated by eventual champions Barcelona in the quarter-finals.

Although Leo Messi is much behind Dongfang Chen in terms of goals, the Barcelona team led by Leo Messi went to the end and became the champion of the UEFA Champions League last season, which is Leo Messi's biggest advantage.

Cristiano Ronaldo is at a disadvantage on both sides, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring fewer goals than both, and Real Madrid's results are not better than these two.

Therefore, in the predictions of media reporters, Cristiano Ronaldo is completely a make-up number, which should be the competition between Leo Messi and Dongfang Chen.

And some people think that in fact, these two awards have basically been decided, and Leo Messi and Dongfang Chen will each win an award. Dongfang Chen is more suitable to win the best striker award in the UEFA Champions League, while Leo Messi is more suitable to win the best player in the UEFA Champions League.

The name of this UEFA Champions League best player is actually called the European Player of the Year Award, which is the previous European Ballon d'Or, that is, European Footballer of the Year.

Because the European Footballer of the Year and the World Footballer of the Year merged last year, in order to increase the prestige of UEFA, UEFA and the European Sports Media Union established a new European Ballon d'Or this year, that is, the European Player of the Year Award.

This year will be the first European Player of the Year award, so the current media reporters are still very excited and excited, they all want to see whether Leo Messi wins the award, or Dongfang Chen wins?

However, at this time, in fact, his family is most concerned about the upcoming UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony, and now everyone can't wait, they can't wait to know the final grouping.

This time, the draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League group stage was made by Infantino, the secretary general of UEFA, the bald brother, who walked directly onto the stage, and almost all the eyes of the audience followed the big bald brother closely.

Now there are a lot of people here, Dongfang Chen has also seen many acquaintances, and he naturally also saw the president of Real Madrid, Mr. Florentino, and the blonde beauty Haydn Panettiere.

At this time, Infantino on the stage said: "Welcome to the draw ceremony for the group stage of the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League, I am Infantino, and I will preside over the draw ceremony for you today, I hope you will have a sooner night." ”
