Chapter 926 Fire

"The best player..." UEFA Secretary General Infantino glanced down, "Best from Manchester United."

Applause rang out in the Grimaldi Conference Center. Sun Wu, who was already holding a spherical trophy, stood up and bowed slightly before walking onto the stage, looking polite.

Klopp applauded and whispered to Tuchel next to him: "I didn't expect him to have this side. I thought he would also make trouble on such occasions!"

Well, Uncle Zha may have underestimated his ability to predict...

"Manchester United and Sun Wu are the well-deserved winners of this award ceremony." CCTV 5 broadcast the ceremony live. The host Duan Xuan said excitedly: "De Gea won the best goalkeeper, and Sun Wu won the best goalkeeper." He was the best midfielder and now he has the best player award."

"In fact, if it weren't for positional factors, Sun Wu could still get the best forward." Tao Wei laughed: "Because he and the best forward Suarez have both scored 13 Champions League goals, and Sun Wu's goals are very valuable. High, there were goals in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals.”

"Nearly ten years ago, a similar situation happened. When AC Milan last climbed to the top of Europe, attacking midfielder Kaka won the best forward and best player honors. Of course, he was not the best midfielder. of."

Taking the trophy from Marchetti, the director of the UEFA competition department, Sun Wu lowered his head and looked at the one on his left hand, then on his right hand, and took a step forward with a smile to stand in front of the microphone.

"I have won the best midfielder three times and the best player twice."

“What does it mean to be able to lift these two trophies?”

"It doesn't mean that I am the best. There are many players who are as good as me. At least I haven't won the Ballon d'Or yet."

"But it means that UEFA's selection is very fair, thank you UEFA."

Sun Wu's brief speech caused great turmoil, and countless people turned their attention to FIFA President Sepp Blatter, who was sitting in the first row.

A buzz of discussion resounded in the hall. Countless people were whispering to each other, and the reporter at the back could faintly be seen jumping high with excitement.

Klopp stared at this scene in stunned silence... This guy really dares to cause trouble on such an occasion!

Blatter's face was extremely ugly. It was he who had just awarded the best midfielder award to Sun Wu. At that time, Sun Wu only said thank you to the microphone and immediately stepped down.

He thought this Chinese guy was shy!

Before Blatter could think of a countermeasure, Sun Wu turned around and opened his arms. UEFA Secretary General Infantino stepped forward without hesitation. The two hugged hard, and then Marchetti came from the other side. He came over and hugged Sun Wu.

The noise below became even louder. Even Guardiola, who looked like his mountain was collapsing without changing his expression, was twitching the corners of his mouth. Sun Wu's hug was a blast!

As Sun Wu walked off the stage, he walked past Blatter, and then high-fived Messi and Suarez one by one. Even Wenger, who had a very, very dislike for Sun Wu, extended his hand.

Gee, Blatter is so unpopular.

Sun Wu is not worried about Blatter's revenge at all. He wants to find trouble, first by bypassing UEFA, and then by bypassing the FA... If nothing else, UEFA President Platini is now running for the world Chairman of the Football Federation, the two sides are having fun!

The most important thing is that Sun Wu remembers very clearly that Blatter was overthrown in the second half of this year. Although there was a farce of announcing his resignation four days after the successful election, he was eventually sentenced to an eight-year ban. However, General Latini didn't get any benefits either, and both of them were unlucky together.

In the CCTV live broadcast room, Duan Xuan and Taoist committee members were like mutes. They wanted to applaud but were wary of the so-called influence. It was not until the lottery ceremony started that things returned to normal.

"The first lottery guest invited by UEFA today is Spanish goalkeeper Zubizarreta."

Zubizarreta is this year's UEFA ambassador. He is responsible for drawing the first-tier seed teams. This year, due to changes in the ranking rules for seed teams, Real Madrid was forced to enter the second tier. Manchester City is also in the same situation. , Arsenal, Dortmund, which means that there is likely to be a group of death this year.

In this round of draws, Manchester United was drawn into Group B.

The next guest to appear in the lottery is Scholes, which is also customary, followed by Beckham and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

If Barcelona had defeated Manchester United and lifted the Big Ears Cup a few months ago, then UEFA should have invited Barcelona stars such as Puyol, Giuly and Abidal.

Dortmund was unlucky to be drawn into a group with Atletico Madrid, while Real Madrid was lucky enough to be drawn against Paris Saint-Germain.

The second-tier team in Manchester United's group is PSV, which should be said to be the top pick.

However, the other three teams in the Premier League are not so lucky. Manchester City encounters Juventus, Arsenal encounters Barcelona, ​​and Liverpool and Bayern meet on a narrow road.

Gee, there are teams like Zenit and Benfica among the first-tier teams, but they just can't draw.

In the subsequent third-tier team, Manchester United's luck was bad. They drew Roma, the strongest team in this level.

After the fourth-tier teams were drawn, Sun Wu couldn't help but touch his chin. Last year he met Schalke 04, and this year he met Wolfsburg.

But in general, the results of Manchester United's draw are neither good nor bad, PSV, Roma, Wolfsburg. Relatively speaking, Sun Wu is more familiar with Roma. There have been several great players there.

In fact, during this summer's transfer period, Sun Wu once thought about acquiring Pjanic, but after thinking about it again and again, he still didn't do it. The Bosnian midfielder is good at organizing attacks and passing forward to threaten the ball, but the problem is that he He decided not to come to Manchester United to help Sun Wu.

Nainggolan, another Roma midfielder, is very suitable to play for Sun Wu. He is tough and tough, has excellent defense, can directly threaten the goal when he goes forward, and has outstanding long-range shooting. However, the problem is Nainggolan's extremely weird personality and very chaotic private life. Let Sun Wu choose to give up.

After returning to the hotel, Sun Wu browsed through the lineups of the three opponents.

There are basically no familiar names in the main lineup of Eindhoven, but a midfielder on the bench who has not had a chance to play until now made Sun Wu's eyes shine.

Ukrainian midfielder Alexandar Zinchenko later went to Manchester City and was trained well by Guardiola.

In addition to Nainggolan and Pjanic, Roma also has Ashley Cole, Sun Wu's opponent in his first professional game, and his old friend Dzeko. The others are all veterans, including Prince Totti. , De Rossi, the second oldest man in the world.

Sun Wu frowned and recalled that it seemed that Salah was in Rome this season, but now the Egyptian winger is still sitting on the bench at Chelsea.

As for Wolfsburg, they have lost their competitiveness after losing De Bruyne and have yet to win in the new season.

After calling Mike Phelan and Rolf to collect information on the three opponents, and arranging the coaching staff to observe the opponent's players separately, Sun Wu himself felt relaxed. For the head coach, there is plenty of work, but if you know how to let go , just need to lead the team to play.
