Chapter 137, European Super Cup

In the second round of the league, Arsenal returned to their home stadium to welcome Newcastle United.

Newcastle United are not bad, especially at home.

However, the away results are not flattering - if they have good home and away results, then they can also fight for the fourth.

So it wasn't a surprise to Arsenal to beat Newcastle cleanly 3-0 at home.

However, considering that Arsenal have rotated almost half of their main players at home in this game.

In this situation, it is so easy to defeat the opponent.

Arsenal's strength has worried the English media.

Worried that the future of the Premier League will become Arsenal's dominance.

"This Arsenal team is too strong, they have a very complete and strong squad, although it is undeniable that Arsenal's strength has a lot to do with Yelo, but who makes Yelo so physical. They can completely use Ye Luo as the core to create two equally strong teams."

After the game.

Some media commented so.

After a clean settlement of Newcastle United.

Arsenal has left for Prague, the capital of the Eastern European country of Dzeko.

They were going to the UEFA Super Cup.

Originally, the Super Cup was held in Monaco.

But this year has changed.

It became a major European city bid.

So this year's Super Cup is in Prague Superstar.

Two teams that won the European Championship last season will compete for the final European champion trophy at the Prague Stadium!

The two sides are Champions League winners Arsenal.

and Serbia from Spain.

Serbia are now on the verge of turning the Europa League into the Serbian Cup.

They won the Europa League for the second season in a row.

Unai Emery's team.

Really good at playing in the Europa League.

Although the Europa League has less gold than the Champions League.

But it can be regarded as a European champion anyway.

And Serbia is also a La Liga giant.

Definitely not to be underestimated.

For Arsenal.

There is one more small problem.

That's where the Super Cup was played in Prague.

However, the UEFA awards and the draw for the Champions League and Europa League were held in Monaco.

So Arsenal have to split the way.

While going to Prague.

While going to Monaco to attend the award ceremony and the draw ceremony.

Arsenal general manager Gazidis replaced Arsene Wenger in the Champions League draw.

But he couldn't replace the award.

Because the protagonist of the award is Ye Luo.

As a key player who led Arsenal to a sweep of Europe last season.

He is the favourite for this year's UEFA Ballon d'Or.

Before the game, many media broke the news.

Ye Luo will receive this award.

The UEFA Ballon d'Or and the FIFA Ballon d'Or are two different awards.

The former can be regarded as a UEFA launch for FIFA to play in the ring.

between FIFA and continental football confederations, between continental football confederations and national football associations.

In fact, it is not a relationship between superiors and subordinates.

It's more of a level relationship.

There are many things that FIFA can't control UEFA.

Europe is also the center of world football.

So sometimes UEFA has more power than FIFA.

And UEFA has a lot of very influential competitions.

Champions League, European Cup, Europa League, etc.

These events have almost eaten up most of the football market.

If it weren't for the fact that FIFA still holds a World Cup that is absolutely impossible to be snatched.

It is unlikely that FIFA will be able to compete with UEFA right now.

FIFA has the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

UEFA has launched a UEFA Ballon d'Or in response.

The two awards are not the same.

But it's also very likely to be awarded to the same person.

After all, it is unlikely that the FIFA Ballon d'Or will be awarded to a player who plays in a league on another continent.

Attention is not on a registration.

So that brings up a problem.

Ye Luo if he wants to go and receive the prize.

But the next day was the UEFA Super Cup.

Immediately after receiving the award, Yelo will be flying across the continent.

Fly from the westernmost to the easternmost side.

There is no way to participate in the team's joint training, and this is also a severe test of her physical fitness.

Arsenal, of course, protested.

But UEFA said it.

Either let someone replace Ye Luo to accept the award.

Or let him come in person.

It's impossible to change venues anyway.

Of course, they also said that this is only a temporary phenomenon, and that the Super Cup and the medal ceremony will be held in the same city next year, so that the player will not have to travel back and forth if he is selected for the final three......

"Hehe, this is Platini giving me eye medicine."

Yelo said as he flew to Monaco with Gazidis.

"They just want to disgust me, because they don't want to give me this award at all, but they don't give it to me, and this so-called UEFA Ballon d'Or is no longer authoritative."

Ye Luo said.

"Platini must have felt that if I go back and forth twice, I will definitely be physically impaired and not in good shape, and Serbia is also very strong, maybe it can really make us lose the Super Cup, in this case, the so-called seven-time champion will be ruined, and he can make us a laughing stock for others!"

Yelo gave Gazidis an analysis.

"So I have to come and accept the prize, and immediately after receiving the prize, I have to go back and win against Serbia and let them know. This kind of small action is not enough to affect me at all! ”

"It's just in vain!"

.

,..

Ye Luo's analysis is of course correct.

Because Platini was just trying to disgust Yelo.

Last season's Champions League final upset Platini.

At the award ceremony, Yelo didn't give Platini any face.

This, of course, made Platini hold a grudge.

If this kid were to come to Monaco again to accept the award, wouldn't he have to look ugly in public, right?

That's why Platini came up with this idea.

And it looks quite high-sounding.

The Super Cup has moved out of Monaco.

If you move the award ceremony all at once.

Isn't this a little too ruthless for Monaco, a city that has served UEFA for more than a decade?

This is to show our gratitude to the city of Monaco.

No one can fault it.

Platini thinks that no matter how good Yelo is, he probably won't give up the Super Cup to receive the award.

So he won.

Win hemp.

Who would have thought.

Ye Luo didn't feel embarrassed at all, but came openly.

at the airport.

Ye Luo was surrounded by reporters.

"You're coming here to accept the award now, are you going to give up the next day's Super Cup?"

"Isn't Arsenal aiming for a seven-time title? Do you look down on Serbia at all? ”

Facing the questions of the journalists.

Ye Luo smiled back.

"I'm going to go to the Super Cup, there's nothing wrong with that. And Platini was warmly invited, how could I not participate? It's a big event in European football and I'm definitely not going to miss it! ”

Yelo, of course, knew that Platini didn't want him to come.

That's why he said it on purpose.

Deliberately angry Platini.

Platini was indeed aggrieved.

On the surface, though.

The cunning UEFA president didn't show it in the slightest.

At the award ceremony, he also smiled and praised Yelo's performance last season as historic.

Of course, Ye Luo will not show flaws on the surface.

When he was on stage with Messi and Ronaldo.

He shook hands with Platini with a smile on his face.

For Ye Luo.

No matter what little tricks Platini played, it was in vain.

I am definitely the final winner.

So he's been looking at Platini from a winning perspective.

It's a top-down view.

The two of them stood in different positions.

So Yelo didn't have the same acquaintance as Platini.

Besides, what Platini wants to see most is probably the thunderous scene of Ye Luo being angry.

I won't let him get away with it.

Messi, Ronaldo, Yelo.

The trio ended up in the top three of the shortlist.

The Golden Globe Award was awarded from among the three of them.

Unlike the UEFA Ballon d'Or and the FIFA Ballon d'Or, the winner is determined by a live vote.

The FIFA Ballon d'Or is that the winner has been voted for before the award ceremony, so the FIFA results are often easy to be leaked, and when it comes to the award ceremony, only the FIFA president still pretends to say that the result is very suspenseful, in fact, the whole world knows the result.

In comparison, UEFA is a bit of a suspense.

After all, it was voted on by reporters on the spot.

However, this suspense is also relative, if someone has too obvious an advantage among these three people, even ordinary fans are optimistic about him, then there is no suspense in the result, and this person must win the award.

For example, this UEFA awards ceremony.

Although UEFA was very suspenseful throughout the process, they racked their brains in vain.

Unless they dare to defy the world's condemnation and manipulate the final statistical results.

But they didn't dare, and the result of this was to discredit the entire UEFA.

Let UEFA lose its authority.

Platini couldn't afford to do this kind of thing to smash his signature because of a personal grudge with Yelo.

Platini felt that if Yelo didn't come, he would avoid the risk of being embarrassed by Yelo on the spot.

It's better to come!

You're tired.

The next day I'll see what kind of form you have in the Super Cup.

If Yelo's team loses the Super Cup.

That's really funny.

What Seven Crowns?

The seven-crown king is a fart.

When Platini was dark.

Journalists on the scene are voting.

The host of the sports channel of the national television station, which was broadcasting the match live, quipped.

"There's nothing to vote for, it's definitely Ye Luo. Was there a better player in the world than Yelo last season? ”

"The league and the Champions League have set new records for goals and won the treble, if I can't win the Ballon d'Or, then I don't know how to perform against the sky."

Both Messi and Ronaldo don't look good.

And they know it.

I came here to be a green leaf.

Actually, they didn't really want to come.

But UEFA's invitation still carries some weight after all.

If it's FIFA, they don't need to give face yet.

But UEFA's face still has to be given.

So two great players are on either side of Yelo.

It's like a green leaf that sets off the red flower of Ye Luo.

For Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

They just want this result to come out sooner.

So as not to embarrass them for too long.

The results came out quickly.

In order to reflect the fairness, openness and impartiality of the UEFA Ballon d'Or.

It is different from the FIFA Golden Ball Award, which is rumored to be operated in the dark.

UEFA's voting method seems to be fair.

The results of the voting are displayed directly on a large screen behind the players.

Everyone can see the results of this year.

You can see the results directly.

Now on the big screen.

Ye Luo's name appeared.

Gazidis stood up from his seat and applauded vigorously.

Then there was thunderous applause.

There were also people in the hall who whistled excitedly.

Yelo's performance last season was nothing short of impeccable.

His performances on the pitch were enough to impress everyone.

Even Messi and Ronaldo are applauding.

They are embarrassed to do green leaves.

But they were not unconvinced by Ye Luo's award.

Ye Luo's performance was too strong.

They all know that such a performance is a sure thing to win the UEFA Ballon d'Or or even the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

If only Ye Luo hadn't won these two awards.

It's not Yelo's embarrassment.

It's the embarrassment of these two awards and the people who won them.

Even humiliation.

Then it's better not to take it.

The host chanted.

"Congratulations to Yelo, who won the UEFA Ballon d'Or in 2013-2014 !!"

Ye Luo raised his arms and enjoyed the applause and cheers very comfortably. ,

Messi and Ronaldo on both sides knew each other very well and got out of the way, and did not come up to join in the fun.

Platini walked up with a stiff smile on his face.

He holds the UEFA Ballon d'Or trophy in his hand.

"Congratulations, Ye, you deserve it!"

After stuffing the trophy to Yelo. ,

Platini left.

Not even a pleasantry.

The relationship between the two can be seen.

But Ye Luo didn't care.

He took the trophy, grabbed the microphone handed over by the host next to him, cleared his throat and said.

"Thank you UEFA for giving me a day to go to the Super Cup, otherwise I would have to rush out of the door with the trophy in my hand right now."

The people in the audience were stunned for a moment.

Then the group burst into laughter.

They all thought Ye Luo was humorous.

But Platini knew it in his heart.

This is a sarcasm of oneself with a gun and a stick.

His face instantly turned ugly.

Ye Luo didn't stay on stage for long either.

He sneered UEFA with a gun and a stick before returning to the audience.

Draw lots.

Ye Luo was not interested.

But Gazidis is looking forward to it.

After all, it's about Arsenal's Champions League grouping.

In the end, Arsenal were drawn to Group C.

They were placed in a group with PSV Eindhoven, Monaco and Galatasaray.

These three teams are unlikely to pose any threat to Arsenal.

So there is almost no suspense about winning the group.

Because there is no suspense.

So this result did not cause any waves.

Gazidis was pleased.

I think Arsenal are lucky.

It seems that the team really has a chance to challenge for the seven-time crown this season.

The next day, the media devoted a lot of coverage to the award ceremony and the draw ceremony last night.

There was a big report on Yelo's first UEFA Ballon d'Or.

At this time, Yelo had already taken a plane to Prague.

It was only six hours before the match that Yelo arrived at the team's hotel in Prague.

After a short break, I headed to Eden with the team.

Arsene Wenger was worried about Yelo's fitness.

As a result, Yelo seemed very excited during the warm-up, which made Wenger completely relieved.

Emery was also watching Yelo.

Unai Emery is not afraid of Arsenal.

Because his team is also strong.

The only thing they were afraid of was Yelo.

Because compared to the championship won by Arsenal.

Ye Luo's performance is terrifying.

He scored one hundred and seven goals in a single season.

The new season has been in excellent form as well.

For Serbia.

Yelo's attendance at UEFA's awards ceremony is definitely good news.

He didn't train with Arsenal and had to travel thousands of kilometres back and forth.

Fitness will definitely have an impact.

This is Serbia's greatest reliance.

Arsenal's biggest threat is Yelo.

As long as Ye Luo is in good shape.

Arsenal's results are good.

If something goes wrong with Ye Luo, it's hard to say.

On the Serbian side, Yelo's state is definitely not good.

So this game is definitely going to be a fight.

The UEFA Super Cup is a problem for a lot of teams.

But for the city of Prague.

It's also a Champions League and Europa League winner, so it's still very attractive to local fans.

Prague before the game was filled with the atmosphere of the game.

Flags and slogans can be seen everywhere.

UEFA Super Cup matches.

In anticipation, it has finally begun. (End of chapter)
