Chapter 751: Drawing Ceremony (Part 2)

The Champions League group stage draw was held at six o'clock in the afternoon. Starting from four o'clock, the entrance of the Grimaldi Conference Center in Monte Carlo was already crowded with reporters and fans.

"Where's Xiao Donggao?"

"Is Messi coming?"

"Messi is here to do the magic and be the background?"

"Now is the time for Xiao Donggao."

"Now I'm curious which award Xiao Donggua will win?"

"It must be the midfielder! The core midfielder."

"But Xiao Donggua is the top scorer in the Champions League and the league."

"Where's Zanetti?"

…

Seeing that the lottery ceremony was about to be held, fans started talking a lot and started looking for their idols everywhere.

"Ah! It's coming, it's coming, Gao Xiaodong is coming..."

As the fans shouted, hundreds of fans ran in the direction where the Manchester United attendees were coming.

In England, Rooney's popularity is the strongest. Even after the transfer scandal and prostitution scandal, Rooney's popularity has not been greatly affected.

But out of England, David. Gill and Ferguson only discovered that Gao Xiaodong, who had just debuted for three years, was more popular than Rooney. The number of fans and reporters who welcomed Gao Xiaodong was far greater than that of Rooney, and it was close to that of Cristiano Ronaldo, who played for Manchester United back then.

David. Gill nodded thoughtfully. In Manchester United, which focuses on commercial operations, popularity is definitely an important factor in whether it can become the team's top player.

When Ronaldo didn't leave, the main reason why a foreigner could overtake Rooney as the number one player was that Ronaldo was more handsome, played better, and was more popular.

Although the current Gao Xiaodong is not as handsome as Cristiano Ronaldo, he is definitely better looking than Rooney, and his skills are more comprehensive than Rooney. In addition, Gao Xiaodong has a huge Chinese market behind him. For Manchester United, which is bent on opening up the Asian market, Gao Xiaodong should be better than Rooney. More suitable to be Manchester United's top player.

Gao Xiaodong casually signed autographs for a few fans who had squeezed to the front, and then followed Ferguson and David. Gill walked into the Grimaldi venue, which is known as the best overseas conference center.

At this moment, most of the head coaches and managers of the top 32 teams who were invited to participate in the Champions League group stage draw were already seated. Seeing Ferguson, David Gill, Gao Xiaodong, Rooney and others arriving, most of them stood up to say hello. In comparison, It is said that more people have greeted Ferguson than David Gill. The old Sir Alex's wide network of contacts is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.

Among fans, Gao Xiaodong is admired by thousands of people, but at this level, very few people know Gao Xiaodong, and he is not even as popular as Rooney.

Mourinho also came to participate in the lottery ceremony. He was catching up with the Inter Milan players. Gao Xiaodong walked over and said respectfully: "Hello, coach."

Mourinho looked up at Gao Xiaodong, said calmly: "It's okay." and stopped talking. Mourinho is still a little emotional about Gao Xiaodong. As a member of Mendes's group, he has another year of master-disciple relationship. Mourinho thinks that Gao Xiaodong should go to Real Madrid to help him, but after his strong invitation, Gao Xiaodong Xiaodong still went to Manchester United. Facing the powerful Barcelona, ​​it was strange that Mourinho could not be angry.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward now, because normally Mourinho would greet Gao Xiaodong again before the conversation could continue.

Just when Gao Xiaodong was about to say goodbye and turn around to leave, Ferguson came over and said to Mourinho: "Jose, what are you talking to Xiaodong? You can't poach me."

Mourinho smiled half-seriously: "Sir Sir Alex, you are clearly poaching me."

Ferguson laughed and held Gao Xiaodong's shoulders, "Xiaodong was my favorite last season. You took her away from me. Now I can only return it to its original owner."

Mourinho gave a thumbs up and said: "I grabbed Xiaodong and kept Rooney. Sir Alex played well this summer and Manchester United won the championship."

Ferguson smiled and said: "You have Ronaldo, Kaká and Benzema, and the championship belongs to Real Madrid."

Mourinho laughed and said: "Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United and Chelsea will definitely reach the finals. I hope it will be Sir Alex Ferguson and me."

Ferguson smiled and said: "I will prepare red wine at Old Trafford to welcome him."

After speaking, Ferguson took Gao Xiaodong to his seat.

After Mourinho said "it's okay" to Gao Xiaodong, he never looked at Gao Xiaodong again.

With all the guests seated and reporters in place, the UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony and last season's awards ceremony officially began under the chairmanship of UEFA Secretary General Taylor.

Before the draw, the awards for the best goalkeeper of the year were held first. Candidates for the best goalkeeper include Cesar of Inter Milan, Edwin van der Sar of Manchester United, and Valdes of Barcelona. Ferguson, Mourinho Benitez and many other coaches voted. In the end, Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar, the Champions League winner, was elected without any controversy. The guest, legendary Spanish goalkeeper Zubizarreta, presented the best goalkeeper trophy to Cesar.

After Cesar gave his speech, he and England's legendary striker Lineker conducted the draw for the first seed team. The first team drawn was Manchester United. The Red Devils were assigned to Group C, and the second Barcelona was assigned to Group D. After that, AC Milan, Bayern, Lyon, Inter Milan, Arsenal and Chelsea were in Group G and E respectively. Group, Group B, Group A, Group H and Group F are in place.

The first draw is of little significance, and the next step is the selection of the best defender.

Candidates for the best defender include Inter Milan's Maicon, Barcelona's Pique, and Manchester United's Vidic. In the end, Maicon was successfully elected. One of Germany's top three players, Bremer, presented the best defender trophy to Maicon.

Next, the draw of the second-tier teams will be suspenseful. No one wants to be with Real Madrid, Valencia, and Roma in the second-tier.

Maicon is worthy of being in Nella's group. He first sent Valencia to Group C where Manchester United is located, and then drew the second most watched Real Madrid to Group G where AC Milan is located! Then give Roma to Bayern, Inter Milan was only drawn to Werder Bremen, the other second-tier teams of the fourth brother, Benfica were in Group B with Lyon, and Shakhtar was drawn to Arsenal's Group H. Marseille and Chelsea are in the same group. Barcelona had the best luck. The second team they drew was the Greek team Panathinaikos.

After the draw for the second round, UEFA awarded the best midfielder of the year.

Candidates for the best midfielder include Manchester United's Gao Xiaodong and Paul Scholes, Bayern Munich's Robben and Barcelona's Xavi. In the end, Gao Xiaodong was undoubtedly elected as the best midfielder. Italian "Dwarf Tiger" Zola presented the award to Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong walked up to the podium excitedly, received the trophy for the best midfielder from Zola, and then accepted an interview with the host Sylvia.

Gao Xiaodong said: "I am very happy to win the award. I would like to dedicate the trophy to my parents. Without their full support, I would not be able to play here with peace of mind. Then I would like to thank Inter Milan Club, President Moratti, and Murry Coach Neo, thank you to my Inter Milan teammates and the Inter Milan fans who support me. Without their support, I would not have won this award. Here I hope that Inter Milan people will forgive me for not continuing to fight with you. It’s not that you are not good enough. I like new challenges, I hope you continue to be brilliant, and I hope I have the same success at Manchester United, thank you."

Then Gao Xiaodong conducted the third team draw, and he was the first to draw Glasgow Rangers into Group C, in the same group as Manchester United and Valencia.

Glasgow Rangers are very strong. After they entered Group C, the qualifying situation in Group C immediately became tense.

After finishing smoking, Gao Xiaodong also smiled bitterly.

Then Gao Xiaodong drew the British upstart Tottenham into Group A, in the same group as Inter Milan and Werder Bremen. This was also not a good draw.

Then Gao Xiaodong drew Ajax into Group G where AC Milan and Real Madrid were!

After Gao Xiaodong finished drawing, the guests at the scene all laughed and said that this Chinese boy specializes in cheating his boss.

Then the Nordic powerhouse Copenhagen entered Group D with Barcelona and Panathinaikos. Russia's Spartak Moscow are in Group F with Chelsea and Marseille. Swiss powerhouse Basel is in the same group as Bayern and Roma. Portuguese side Braga meet Arsenal and Shakhtar Donetsk. Schalke O4 are in the same group as Lyon and Benfica.

After the teams in the third pot were drawn, the selection of the best forward was conducted. Although Gao Xiaodong was the top scorer in the Champions League and the league, he was placed in the midfield, so Milito became the best forward this season. .

There is actually no suspense in the selection of the best player of the season in the following season. Messi and Scholes were not as good as Gao Xiaodong in terms of personal performance and team performance. In the end, Gao Xiaodong was once again undisputedly elected as the best player of the season.

Finally, there is the draw of the fourth-tier teams. Turkish upstart Bussaspor was drawn into Group C with Manchester United, and the Romanian team Cluj was drawn into Group E. Kazan Ruby was assigned to Group D and met Barcelona again. Srina is in the same group as Chelsea. Hapoel Tel Aviv was drawn into Group B, Twente was drawn into Group A, and Partizan Belgrade was drawn into Group H. Auxerre was drawn into Group G, forming a death group with AC Milan, Real Madrid and Ajax.

After the fourth-tier team draw was completed and the four award-winners took a group photo together, the Champions League group stage draw ceremony and awards ceremony officially ended, which also means that all the honors have become a thing of the past. Who can stand in the middle of this stage again needs to be in the new era. He showed his most dazzling performance in the Champions League this season and led the team to win the Champions League.
