Episode [315]: Carrying Out the Shady Scene to the End
Infantino felt the eyes of everyone below, he smiled lightly and said nothing.
The lottery continues, and the guest of the lottery draws the second team. This team is not Valencia as imagined by the grand prize, but Sevilla!
Although it is also from La Liga, everyone's expectations for playing are much, much worse.
At this time, the coaches of Chelsea and Valencia were relieved!
Zhong Cheng looked at the team and shook his head slightly, why didn't he know about Valencia? Everyone wanted to see which group Valencia was assigned to?
And at this moment, UEFA Secretary General Infantino bald unfolded the note in his hand, which read - Group H!
Zhong Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then thought, Leeds United seemed to be assigned to Group H. In other words, Leeds United and Sevilla are in the same group!
Zhong Cheng was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't expect it!
Sevilla's strength is also very strong. They are frequent champions of the UEFA Cup. Many people even ridiculed that the UEFA Cup is the Sevilla Cup.
This team is very strong, Zhong Cheng nodded slightly, this opponent is not easy to play.
The others breathed a sigh of relief, another hard bone was taken away, and they all congratulated Zhong Cheng and Leeds United in their hearts.
The next third team that was drawn was Porto, and it was still not Valencia. This disappointed everyone. They really wanted to see which group Valencia was assigned to?
The grouping of the Porto team also came out soon. They were divided into Group A, a group with the Red Army Liverpool.
The fourth team that was drawn out was still not Valencia, and all the flowers were waiting on the spot.
The fourth team to be drawn was Werder Bremen, who were drawn to lead Group C, in a group with Real Madrid.
The fifth team should be Valencia, but to everyone's disappointment, the fifth team that was drawn out was still not Valencia, but Lyon. They were divided into Group E, a group with Barcelona.
At this time, everyone can see that neither Chelsea nor Valencia have been assigned to the team. The chances of these two teams being in the same group are very, very high. It seems that UEFA is really playing tricks.
The sixth team drawn out is the long-awaited Valencia team.
Zhong Cheng's gaze was fixed on Infantino, and everyone on the scene and in front of the TV stared at Infantino to see which group Valencia would be in?
At this moment, Infantino grabbed a small ball, unscrewed it, and slowly opened the piece of paper in his hand. All eyes on the scene were fixed on this, they were all looking forward to it, what was the result?
Infantino slowly opened the piece of paper, turned it over, and it read - Group B!
Valencia was really placed in Group B, in the same group as Chelsea!
The scene and everyone exclaimed, shady, this is a naked shady. UEFA is having fun now, it really carried the shady scene to the end!
Jose Mourinho's face was very cold, and his heart was full of anger!
The media reporters at the scene were so excited and excited that they all just jumped up. This is big news, and there is something to report after the game.
Infantino did not say anything, and continued to signal the guests to draw lots.
Zhong Cheng couldn't stop shaking his head when he saw this, and said in his heart: "It's no wonder that there is no shady scene in the UEFA draw for Tamar. These damn UEFA people have already been divided into groups by themselves. Why do you want to draw this rubbish lottery? Damn it!"
Now that I think about it, Leeds United and Sevilla may have been calculated by UEFA in a group. Because the opponent that Leeds United won the UEFA Cup that year was Sevilla, and Leeds United snatched Sevilla's UEFA Cup championship trophy, the grievances between the two teams have already been settled.
Now that these two teams have entered the UEFA Champions League, UEFA is naturally happy to see these two teams fight!
At this moment, Zhong Cheng's heart fluttered slightly, this damn UEFA is really calculating!
Black, really Nima's black!
The audience on the scene and on TV have never felt that UEFA's draw has been so black. This is really a new level of blackness.
The seventh team drawn was Einho. They were assigned to Group G, the same group as Inter Milan. The rest is Benfica, and they are naturally assigned to Group D, a group with AC Milan.
In this way, the second-tier teams are also surprised and the dust has settled.
However, there was a strange atmosphere at the scene, many people were speechless, and the media reporters frantically pressed the shutter to record all this.
Sure enough, there are shady scenes every year, especially today.
There are so many shady scenes in this group's second round of lottery, it's almost unbearable!
The next step is to draw the third-tier teams. For the teams in the third tier, the two teams from the Bundesliga that everyone is most afraid of will be Schalke 04 and Stuttgart. The strength of these two teams is still very strong.
There is also a team from Italy in the third tier, Lazio! This team is also very difficult to deal with, and there are also many teams who don't want to draw them.
Zhong Cheng naturally hoped not to draw these teams, but he hoped to draw a weak team, because it would be very easy.
However, in this third tier of teams, there is a team that has attracted special attention, and that is Steaua Bucharest.
Because this team was divided with Leeds United in the UEFA Champions League last season, the two teams have been deadly. Will UEFA let Steaua Bucharest and Leeds United continue their relationship this time?
Anyway, many people think that this is very possible. According to UEFA's urine, this grouping must be like this.
Many people are now paying attention to the third tier draw.
However, at this time, there will be another award presentation, this time the award for the best midfielder in the UEFA Champions League last season. This award was directly won by the defending champion Dutch midfielder Seedorf!
Because Kaka was placed in the forward group, Seedorf was in the midfield group. If Kaka was in the midfield group, this award would definitely belong to Kaka.
At this time, everyone is watching the draw.
The draw for the third tier has finally come, and now everyone is concerned about Steaua Bucharest, whether they will be drawn with Leeds United. Zhong Cheng is also very concerned about this.
Zhong Cheng wants to see if UEFA's shady will be so powerful and so blatant.
The first one to be drawn was Lazio, a team that no one wanted to be drawn. He was placed in Group C. They were in a group with Real Madrid and Werder Bremen. This is a group of death. The scene took a deep breath.
The second team to be drawn was Stuttgart. Everyone was holding their breaths, waiting to see who was so unlucky to draw this team from the Bundesliga. Infantino quickly unfolded the note in his hand, which read - Group E, they are in a group with Barcelona and Lyon, which can be regarded as a group of death. The third team drawn out is still not Steaua Bucharest, which makes everyone very disappointed. UEFA, can you hurry up. The third team drawn from Schalke 04, also from the Bundesliga, was assigned to Group B. They were assigned to a group with Chelsea and Valencia. This group was also not easy.
The fourth team to be drawn was finally Steaua Bucharest, and now everyone on the scene was staring at Infantino closely. They wanted to see if Infantino would blatantly divide Steaua Bucharest into the Leeds United group for the first time.
Zhong Cheng's eyes were also fixed on Infantino, and he already had a very bad premonition in his heart. It seems that UEFA really has the guts to divide Steaua Bucharest into their Leeds United group!
Now everyone is staring at Infantino closely. Infantino slowly unfolded the note and showed it to everyone—Group H!
As expected, Bucharest Star was assigned to Leeds United. Zhong Cheng was speechless. My God, how could UEFA be so shameless?
All the media reporters at the scene were taken aback. This time, UEFA really carried out the shady scenes to the end. There are many things to watch in this UEFA Champions League group stage, especially Group H. In addition to this group, there are also several death groups. The grouping this season is indeed very good.
Zhong Cheng is speechless at this point, UEFA can really do it.
The fifth team drawn was Marseille, who were in Group A, the same group as Liverpool and Porto.
The sixth team to be drawn is CSKA Moscow. They are in Group G, and they are in the same group as Inter Milan Eindhoven.
The seventh team to be drawn is the Celtics, who are in Group D, the same group as AC Milan and Benfica.
The last team to be drawn was Sporting Lisbon, who were placed in Group F, in the same group as Manchester United and Roma.
There is nothing worthy of attention for the fourth-tier teams, and everyone can accept who is assigned to which group. Before the grouping, UEFA decided to award the best striker award, and it turned out that the winner was Kaka.
Then there was the fourth grade of lottery. This lottery was very fast, and the results came out soon.
The team in the fourth tier is more powerful than Fenerbahçe. This team from Turkey is difficult to deal with at home, and many people are still unwilling to be drawn by them. In the end, it was Inter Milan who drew Fenerbahce.
The results of the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League group draw are as follows:
Group A: Liverpool, Porto, Marseille and Betaxis
Group B: Chelsea, Valencia, Schalke 04 and Rosenborg
Group C: Real Madrid, Werder Bremen, Lazio and Olympiacos
Group D: AC Milan, Benfica, Celtic and Shakhtar Donetsk
Group E: Barcelona, Lyon, Stuttgart and Rangers
Group F: Manchester United, Roma, Sporting Lisbon and Dynamo Kiev
Group G: Inter Milan, PSV PSV, CSKA Moscow and Fenerbahce
Group H: Leeds United, Sevilla, Steaua Bucharest and Slavia Prague
After the draw, the ceremony is not over yet, the next step is to find the best player in the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League.
In fact, there is no suspense about this award. The winner should be Kaka, the midfielder core of the defending champion AC Milan. This year belongs to Kaka, and he is very likely to win the 2007 World Footballer!
Sure enough, UEFA awarded the Brazilian Kaka the award for the best player in the UEFA Champions League in the 2006-2007 season!
