Episode【321】: Master Mr. Albertini

At this time, UEFA announced the classification of the UEFA Champions League, as follows:

First-tier teams: Leeds United, Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Sevilla and AC Milan.

Second tier teams: Real Madrid, Juventus, Inter Milan, Porto, CSKA Moscow, AZ Alkmaar, Rangers and Lyon

Third tier teams: Atletico Madrid, Fiorentina, Stuttgart, Marseille, Dynamo Kiev, Olympiacos and Betaxis

Fourth tier teams: Wolfsburg, Standard Liege, Zurich, Rubin Kazan, Maccabi Haifa, APOEL, Debrecen and Uniria

Yes, these are the top 32 teams in the UEFA Champions League this season!

This time there are many new faces. There are many small league teams that have the opportunity to enter the UEFA Champions League, such as Debrecen from the Hungarian League, Maccabi Haifa from the Israeli League, and Romania. Uniari of the league and so on.

Of course, the strength of this fourth-level team has dropped greatly.

Of course, there is still a chance to appear in the death group this season, because teams at all levels have very strong teams.

The first level is naturally composed of very strong teams. After all, almost all of them are wealthy clubs, except for Sevilla. But Sevilla is also very powerful. They are the spokesperson of the UEFA Cup. They often win the championship, and their strength should not be underestimated.

In the second tier, there are really too many strong opponents. Real Madre, Juventus and Inter Milan are all super strong teams. This is what the first tier teams try to avoid. Albertini thinks so too.

There are also teams in the second tier that are regarded as weak teams, such as Glasgow Rangers, CSKA Moscow and AZ Alkmaar. These teams are also the teams Albertini wants to draw, which are better opponents.

There are also many teams in the third tier, such as Atletico Madrid, Fiorentina and Stuttgart, which are also very strong. Albertini also wants to avoid these teams.

In the fourth tier, there is Wolfsburg. This team is also very strong, and Standard Liege is also not weak. But in the fourth level, other teams are relatively weak, so as long as Wolfsburg is not drawn in this level, there will be no dead group.

Of course, Premier League teams have a high chance of being drawn into the group of death, because they have no avoidance policy for teams in the second, third, and fourth tiers, and they can all be drawn. So maybe appearing in a group like this, a group of death like Premier League teams, Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid and Wolfsburg, and similar Premier League teams, Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Wolfsburg , there are even death groups such as Premier League teams, Real Madrid, Fiorentina and Wolfsburg!

Yes, the Premier League teams are so naughty!

Because all four teams in the Premier League are first-tier teams, it is impossible for them to be drawn into a group, so naturally there will be no avoidance policy.

Therefore, the probability of a Premier League team being drawn into the group of death is very high.

Now everyone is wondering who will become the unlucky guy. Of course, it would be nice if the coaches of the Premier League teams did not appear in the so-called group of death.

Soon, Infantino took the stage and began to introduce some of the top 32 teams in this season's UEFA Champions League and some features of this season's UEFA Champions League to promote the UEFA Champions League. Therefore, they allow teams from more European leagues to have the opportunity to participate in the UEFA Champions League, and this is why there are many unfamiliar faces in the fourth level.

Then, Infantino reviewed the wonderful moments of the UEFA Champions League last season. The scene of Leeds United winning the cup once again appeared in front of the Leeds United people. The Leeds United people were naturally very excited.

Then, Leeds United captain Zhong Zheng climbed onto the podium holding the UEFA Champions League trophy, returned the UEFA Champions League trophy to UEFA, and placed it in the center of the stage!

Leeds United have kept the Champions League trophy for a while and are now sending it back. Now there is a replica placed in the Leeds United honor room. It is said that only clubs that have won the UEFA Champions League five times are eligible to receive a real UEFA Champions League trophy.

There are really not many clubs with real trophies nowadays!

Obviously Albertini now has such ambitions. He hopes that Leeds United can have a chance to own a real UEFA Champions League trophy.

Infantino then introduced the participating teams in this season's UEFA Champions League, and a brief introduction of these teams was also played on the large video screen at the scene.

After these series of things were introduced, the first major thing came.

Infantino said confidently: "After a fair and impartial vote, we announce that the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League final will be held at the Crown Stadium in England!"

A video introduction to the Crown Arena, the new home of Leeds United, was immediately played on the big screen at the scene!

The people of Leeds United are very excited. The UEFA Champions League final next season will be held at their home court. They hope that the team can reach the final next season and win the championship trophy at their home court. .

The large video screen at the scene carefully introduced the Crown Stadium. The football people at the scene were all amazed. Leeds United's home ground is really too luxurious and advanced.

This is definitely one of the top professional football stadiums in Europe and even the world!

This stadium uses many high technologies that are not found in other stadiums now, making the football field more comprehensive and practical.

Many people are very tempted and want to build such a football stadium.

Of course, those clubs that have plans to build and repair stadiums are ready to seek advice from Leeds United. The top management of the club who had just completed the construction of the new stadium were bleeding in their hearts. Countless words of MMP were accumulated in their chests and they wanted to be sprayed out!

If only I had known that there was such an advanced thing, my team would have installed it.

Yes, many people envy Leeds United for having such a high-tech, modern stadium!

Of course, many players also envy the Leeds United players. It is really great that they can play in such an advanced and safe stadium.

Albertini was very excited. Leeds United's Crown Stadium had really been chosen, awesome!

Trevor Birch is also very important. He knows that after next year's UEFA Champions League final, Leeds United's quality will improve even more, which will be very, very big for Leeds United's brand promotion. help.

Nowadays, Crown Stadium is surrounded by commercial and entertainment circles, which is extremely popular. After the baptism of this UEFA Champions League final, there will definitely be many tourists who regard this place as a cultural attraction and come here to travel in the future. The brand of Leeds United Club will be further improved.

Moreover, Leeds City will also receive great benefits, which will bind Leeds City and Leeds United more closely, making it easier to do some things in the future.

Anyway, this thing has many benefits, and Trevor Birch is very excited.

Trevor Birch was really excited. Think about what he was doing five or six years ago. But now, he has reached this point. Trevor Birch is now very grateful that he was able to meet Zhong Cheng. This is a new starting point in his life.

Of course, everyone in Leeds United is now paying attention to the next draw ceremony.

Before the drawing of lots, the first prizes were awarded. There is no doubt that Zhong Cheng of Leeds United won the best goalkeeper award in the UEFA Champions League last season. Zhong Zheng performed very well last season, conceding very few goals, and was the goalkeeper of the championship team, so he deserved the title.

Then the lottery started, and soon the teams in the first level were ranked. Groups A to H are: Bayern Munich, Manchester United, AC Milan, Chelsea, Liverpool, Barcelona, ​​Sevilla and Leeds United!

Leeds United was placed in the last group. Albertini suddenly felt something in his heart. He seemed to feel that Leeds United would not have any problems this season.

At this time, the second award was drawn. Leeds United's Kompany won the best central defender award in the UEFA Champions League last season. Leeds United may be the biggest winner this season.

Next comes the drawing ceremony for the second group.

At this time, Albertini was very nervous, because at this time Real Madrid, Juventus and Inter Milan were all going to participate in the draw ceremony. The chance that Leeds United will draw them is quite high. Albertini is a little worried and must not draw these teams.

Perhaps Albertini's secret approach had an effect, and Leeds United did not become the unlucky one. Leeds United are also very lucky. They drew AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands.

The second-tier teams have also been drawn out, from Group A to H: Juventus, CSKA Moscow, Real Madrid, Porto, Lyon, Inter Milan, Rangers and AZ Alkmaar.

Bayern Munich, AC Milan and Barcelona were recruited, and the three most powerful teams in the second tier were drawn. These three teams have met. Seeing this, the Serie A fans' mentality exploded. They killed the Premier League team last year, are they going to kill the Italian team again this year?

But many people soon said that the Italian team had a difficult time last season. It turns out that UEFA is trying to kill the Italian teams. All the Italian giants have encountered strong teams!

Soon, the third award was announced, and Cristiano Ronaldo won the award for the best midfielder in the UEFA Champions League last season.

Immediately afterwards came the draw of the third-tier teams. Among the third-tier teams, Atletico Madrid, Fiorentina and Stuttgart were also very powerful. Albertini began to do something secretly again, trying to avoid these three teams.

Albertini is really amazing, he is simply a master. Their Leeds United team successfully avoided these three teams again and drew a team with average strength, that is Olympiacos.

The third-tier teams have also been drawn out, from Group A to H: Bordeaux, Betaxis, Marseille, Atletico Madrid, Fiorentina, Dynamo Kiev, Stuttgart and Olympiacos.

Fortunately, the absolute death group did not appear, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the worst thing didn't happen, and many people were really relieved.

The fourth award was announced. Barcelona's Leo Messi won the best forward award in the UEFA Champions League last season.

Then there is the draw of the teams in the fourth tier. The only one to pay attention to in the fourth tier is Wolfsburg. Albertini firmly believes that he will not encounter this Bundesliga team. Leeds United is very lucky today.

Sure enough, Leeds United did not draw Wolfsburg, and their opponent was Standard Liege.

In this way, the teams in the fourth tier have also been drawn. From Group A to H, they are: Maccabi Haifa, Wolfsburg, Zurich, APOEL, Debrecen, Rubin Kazan, Uniria and Standard Liège.

In the end, Leeds United's Cristiano Ronaldo was awarded the Champions League Player of the Year award last season.
