Chapter 236: UEFA Player of the Year (Transitional Chapter)

Arsene Wenger was relieved.

Human fear often stems from the unknown.

When the grouping results are out.

The Arsenal boss is not afraid of any team.

With his hands crossed over his chest, his mind began to plan the rotation and deployment of personnel for the intensive schedule.

...

PSV Eindhoven manager Cocu didn't show half of his frustration and even wanted to laugh.

He's not an unknown person.

Former Barcelona captain.

A good partner for the "No. 4" Guardiola.

A good partner of Enrique the "King Kong Matador".

Not only inherited La Masia's football philosophy.

He is also very aware of Camp Nou's dark illness at this time.

The audience suddenly realized: Barcelona wants to slaughter Eredivisie champions PSV Eindhoven... It's not an easy task.

...

The camera showed Monaco coach Jardin.

The bald young marshal's gaze was resolute, and his arms leaning on the armrests of his seat trembled slightly.

Play Barcelona, play Arsenal, play PSV Eindhoven... Is it as difficult as a double win against PSG?

Two years.

It only took two years for him to make Monaco the Ligue 1 dreamer for Paris Saint-Germain!

There are not only superstars in the lineup - Mbappe and Lemar.

The midfield is even more impressive: Bernardo Silva, Fabinho, Tiemoue Bakayoko...

No one dares to take this Ligue 1 powerhouse lightly.

If it weren't for the low number of points in Ligue 1 in Europe, Monaco would not have been in Pot 4 at all.

....

The most fearless is Enrique.

He had nothing to fear.

Although driving out Alves, abandoning Bravo, and snubbing Mascherano.

But Barcelona brought in a group of elite players in this summer window: Umtiti, Andre Gomez, Paco...

Don't even play the MSN in advance.

couldn't open the situation, so Messi did the work of Xavi and Iniesta.

Who would dare to say that he is a dog-crowned?

The Barcelona manager's gaze scanned the three opponents.

It seems to be looking at the lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Camp Nou has established close ties with the Barcelona Meteorological Service.

...

The draw ceremony continues.

Bale's face was slightly regretful, and he didn't seem to care about the results of the draw in the other groups, but chatted with Li Kang.

"Do you know how to play golf?"

"I recommend a golf course in London to you, I used to go to Tottenham a lot."

"You'll enjoy the sport."

While speaking, Bell did not forget to take out a pen and paper from his suit pocket and left a phone number for Li Kang.

Li Kang nodded seriously and silently put the number away.

Cristiano Ronaldo also doesn't care about the grouping.

He is looking forward to the award ceremony after the draw ceremony... UEFA Player of the Year!

....

Thirty-five minutes later.

The draw for the 2016/17 Champions League group stage has been announced.

Group A: Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Basel, Ludogorets.

Group B: Benfica, Napoli, Dynamo Kyiv, Besiktas.

Group C: Barcelona, Arsenal, PSV Eindhoven, Monaco.

Group D: CSKA Moscow, Atletico Madrid, Lyon, Rostov-on-Don.

Group E: Bayer Leverkusen, Porto, Tottenham Hotspur, Celtic,

Group F: Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Sporting Lisbon, Legia Warsaw.

Group G: Lyicester City, Bayern Munich, Club Brugge, Copenhagen.

Group H: Juventus, Sevilla, Borussia Mönchenchen, Dinamo Zagreb.

The barrage exploded.

- [Why do I think the smell of blood in Group E is stronger?] Regardless of whether they are strong or weak, the overall strength of those four clubs is somewhat close. 】

- [It's not Li Minglan who is unlucky, it's Leverkusen.] 】

- [I am optimistic about Juventus winning the championship this year, it is not easy, every year it is either the semi-finals or the runner-up. 】

- [Group H is also considered a group of death, right?] 】

- [No, Sevilla definitely wants to go to the Europa League to dominate and get more broadcast shares and bonuses, if Borussia Mönchen doesn't meet Bayern... The strength is just like that. 】

....

Managers at different clubs have different minds.

Some rejoice.

Someone is sad.

Only Pep Guardiola is still writing and drawing on scratch paper.

It's still the same old saying: it's better to play well than to draw well.

Ranieri is very bitter, he can't figure out Lyrcester City's obviously first-tier seeded team, but he drew the Bundesliga runner-up - Bayern Munich, who was double-killed by Bayer Leverkusen!

Thomas Tuchel is confident: no team can restrain Borussia Dortmund, and neither can Real Madrid.

Zidane yawned.

He looked around and suddenly realized: this group of club representatives can piece together a set of historical powerhouses!

Goalkeeper: Club Brugge boss.

Defenders: Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, Basel boss Fischer, Barcelona boss Enrique.

Midfielders: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, Juventus manager Allegri, PSV Eindhoven coach Cocu, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone, Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Forward: Bayer Leverkusen Sporting Director - Worrall!

What about yourself?

The head coach of this group, of course!

...

There was a faint boo in my ears.

Pedro Pinto didn't dare to talk nonsense for too long.

It will be announced immediately that it will enter the award ceremony.

All kinds of lights shine accordingly.

The long-dormant Champions League theme song played again.

First up to the awards: UEFA Best Women's Footballer!

No suspense was created. The host read the name directly.

Lyon's goalscorer with 54 goals in 34 games in a single season: Högelberg.

A strong, burly little girl appeared quickly.

"What are your goals for the new season?"

"Score 60 goals."

After a moment of silence... Thunderous applause.

The level of shock is comparable to Li Kang's women's football demon star.

....

Next up is the selection of the men's football team.

UEFA Player of the Year!

The camera was quickly given to Ronaldo, Li Kang, and Bale.

The tempo of the stage music is getting faster and faster.

The winner will be selected from among three people.

Ronaldo took a deep breath.

Bell had a smile on his face.

Li Kang's expression was calm.

When the president of the Spanish Football Federation, Bilal, stepped onto the main stage tremblingly.

A: Lost any suspense.

The large LED screen began to show highlights of Spain's journey to Euro 2016 to win the Championship.

Ultimately.

Freeze in the picture of winning the championship and winning the cup.

"With 22 goals and 21 assists in the Bundesliga, he brought the German Cup and salad back to North Roots."

"With 9 goals and 2 assists in the Champions League, he led Bayer Leverkusen all the way to the last four."

"The 11-goal Golden Boot of the European Cup, the all-time top scorer, he is the sword bearer of the European champion Spain, the commander of the Invincible Armada."

"I declare, UEFA Men's Footballer of the Year."

"Li Kang!"

When Bilal called out his last name, he was almost too frightened to hold the card by the exclamations that erupted from the audience.

Moment.

The huge venue burst into thunderous applause.

There was no dispute about the results of the awards.

At the age of 19, he won the UEFA Best of the Year, which was comparable to the big Ronaldo of the year.

...

Ronaldo's expression stiffened for a few seconds, then he smiled and applauded, and took the initiative to get out of the aisle, signaling Li Kang to come to the stage to accept the award.

Meanwhile.

Buffon stepped onto the main stage with a serious face in a suit and leather shoes.

He is a special 'sign language interpreter' invited by the organizers.

Juventus is very handsome when he has a straight face, and the temperament revealed in his words and deeds is not inferior to any good actor.

Li Kang received the trophy from Bilal.

Pedro Pinto immediately began the interview.

"Lee, please tell us about your acceptance speech."

One of the most interesting scenes in UEFA history was born:

Li Kang is still holding the trophy in both hands, and Buffon has already begun to translate!

"Thank you, Grandpa Worrall."

"Thank you, Grandpa Topp."

"Thank you, Grandpa Bosque."

"Thank you to all your club teammates, to all your national team teammates."

"And my most admired opponent, Buffon!"
