Chapter 1049 Super Death Group

The five-goal victory over Barcelona made Real Madrid the focus of public opinion in European football again.

Yang Yang staged a big four in this focus battle, and even cheered him up for winning.

The day after the Barcelona game, after the team assembled at noon, they flew to Monaco by special plane to prepare for the European Super Cup. At the same time, many core players, including Yang Yang, were invited to participate in UEFA's annual awards ceremony.

After the European Ballon d'Or was merged with FIFA's World Footballer of the Year and the FIFA Ballon d'Or was established, UEFA began to vigorously promote the [Best European Player] award, and the individual awards for the other four positions were was cancelled.

This undoubtedly makes this award more conspicuous. Many people even say that he is the outpost of the FIFA Golden Ball. Whoever can win this award will basically lock FIFA in advance. Golden Globes.

2012 is a big year for the national team. According to past practice, players who have won the championship and performed well in international competitions are usually elected, and the European Cup champion is Spain.

However, since 2008, this rule has been gradually broken, because Yang Yang has been so crazy in recent years.

Yang Yang's crazy performance broke the convention of awarding honors to international championship teams in even years, so no one thought that the best player in Europe in 2012 would be awarded to Spanish national team players.

From the first round of voting given by UEFA, the top three are Real Madrid's Yang Yang, Barcelona's Messi and Iniesta.

But who can stand out depends on the second round of live voting in Monaco.

...

Real Madrid came to Monaco on this trip, led by the head of the club's public relations department, but also Real Madrid's former star Vulture Butragueno, this is the club's leadership drawn by Florentino.

Even, there have always been rumors before that Florentino was cultivating Butragueno as a future successor.

Outside the Grimalti Conference Center, Yang Yang was undoubtedly the most popular player among the media and fans. As soon as he appeared, he almost caused a commotion at the scene, and many fans chased after him and shouted.

Yang Yang originally planned to stay and interact with the fans, but under the persuasion of the organizer, in order to avoid commotion on the scene, he walked into the venue as soon as possible and did not stay outside.

With his current influence, if he stays outside for a long time, more and more fans will gather, and the scene will be difficult to control.

Entering the Grimaldi Conference Center, many people in the lobby met, and immediately greeted them.

In recent years, Real Madrid has won three consecutive championships in the UEFA Champions League, and the limelight has never been two. The top star Yang Yang has won the honor of the number one player in world football in the past five years, which makes Real Madrid and Yang Yang in European football. It is a combination of fame and fortune, especially Yang Yang, whose status has skyrocketed.

You must know that in the past few decades, most of the players who have won the honor of being the first player in world football are European or South American players, and even African players are very few, let alone Asian players. Chinese players are even more impossible.

But since Yang Yang appeared, this kind of history has been completely broken.

At the beginning, many people were still questioning Yang Yang, believing that he might just be a flash in the pan, but as he repeated and repeated, he has won this honor for five consecutive years, and no one dared to question Yang Yang's strength and level. , his status will naturally go up, whether it is European football people or professional media, they all admire him.

Yang Yang has long been accustomed to such occasions, and he can handle it with ease. He can handle all kinds of people without any leakage. This is what he has learned from professional public relations over the years.

As for this year's best player in Europe, the biggest favorite is of course Yang Yang, because he helped Real Madrid win the triple crown last season and also won the Champions League three consecutive championships. For this achievement, he won the award for the best player in Europe. It can be said that it deserves its name.

But this year is different from previous years, because this year there is the European Cup.

Spain won the European Cup, which is also an honor. Iniesta won the award for the best player in the European Cup. He is the best player in the Spanish team. The voice is also very loud. Many people think that he will Like Cannavaro that year, he represented Spain to compete with Yang Yang for the best player in Europe and the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

Barcelona is still supporting Messi, mainly because Messi is still the number one superstar in the team and has a natural advantage in this regard, but from the current point of view, Iniesta is more likely to challenge Yang Yang than Messi. bigger.

Regarding this, Yang Yang is very calm. He jokingly said that if Iniesta won the award, he would be the first to go to congratulate him, and at the same time think he deserved it.

This is not only Yang Yang's demeanor, but also his feeling from the bottom of his heart.

For his sake, for personal honor, in fact, he has long since taken so seriously.

More importantly, Spain defending the European Cup is indeed a very important honor.

If Yang Yang hadn't won so many personal honors before, he would definitely take this year's one more seriously, but now Yang Yang doesn't need awards to prove himself, so he doesn't mind seeing Iniesta ascend to the top.

Before the draw for the Champions League, Real Madrid captain Iker Casillas appeared on the scene holding the St.

This season's Champions League final will be held at Wembley Stadium in the UK, so former Real Madrid England star McManaman attended the scene as the ambassador of the final venue, UEFA Secretary General Infantino and Competition Director Marchetti are in charge Draw lots, UEFA President Platini is responsible for the finale of the awards.

The first draw was for former Manchester United star Dennis Law. He drew the defending champion Real Madrid and seven other teams. Real Madrid was drawn to Group D. This draw did not make much sense.

The real suspense is the draw of the other three grades. Among them, the suspense of the second grade is mainly concentrated on Manchester City in the Premier League and Valencia in La Liga. These are two second-tier teams with the strength of counter-attack seed teams. Erke 04 is also capable, but relatively weak.

Especially Manchester City, no one wants to touch this team.

The third-tier teams are also in danger. Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 and Juventus in Serie A are all powerful teams, and Ajax, the Eredivisie champion, is also very strong. These are all worthwhile. Vigilant team.

As for the fourth gear, it is even more ferocious. Bundesliga champion Borussia Dortmund, the so-called La Liga Manchester City's Malaga team, and the Soviet Super League's Celtic team, these are all powerful teams that are troublesome, and whoever gets it will be worried.

There are always happy and unhappy people in the lottery.

George Weah was responsible for the team that drew the second pot. He first drew Valencia, then McManaman drew the group, was drawn to Group F, a group with Bayern Munich, and then Benfica was drawn for Barcelona. , Dinamo Kyiv was drawn for Porto and Zenit St Petersburg was drawn for AC Milan.

Then, George Weah pulled out of Manchester City, so that everyone in the audience gasped, and no one wanted to touch the team.

It's not that I'm afraid, but I don't want to meet a strong enemy too early.

Unexpectedly, McManaman drew Group D and drew directly to Real Madrid.

The entire Grimaldi Conference Center lost its voice for a while, some exclaimed with fluke, and some sneered with schadenfreude.

Yang Yang noticed that Butragueno, Ancelotti and Zidane all looked helpless, and they were obviously not satisfied with the lottery, because if another team was drawn in the third pot, it would be true. It's the group of death.

However, the luck of Real Madrid in the third pot is still average, avoiding Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus, but drawing Ajax.

This is interesting, Real Madrid is the champion of La Liga, Manchester City is the champion of the Premier League, Ajax is the champion of the Eredivisie, and a group gathers the champion teams of three leagues. If this rule is followed, then the fourth opponent is the Bundesliga. Champions Dortmund.

"But is it really so miserable?" Yang Yang asked with a wry smile.

Zidane raised his eyebrows, as if to say, what do you think?

Butragueno also shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I hope it won't be so cruel."

A group that gathers the champions of the three major leagues and the Eredivisie is simply a brutal group of death.

The group stage is so brutal, which is not a good thing for Real Madrid.

You know, according to the tradition of the past few years, the teams that can generally win the championship usually gradually come out of shape, and the opponents gradually progress from weak to strong. When they come up, there is a dialogue between the strong and the strong, and it is easy to have problems.

Not only because of the consumption of strong dialogue, but also the player's injury.

But sometimes, luck is such a vain thing.

The third draw guest Gullit gave Real Madrid an Eredivisie championship, while the fourth draw guest Cannavaro gave Real Madrid Dortmund.

When McManaman drew the ball from Group D, the scene exclaimed.

At this moment, no one was happy, no one fell into the trap, and more was still surprised.

Four league champions in one group, what's it like?

"Why not Montpellier?" Yang Yang asked in a low voice with a wry smile.

Montpellier was the Ligue 1 champion last season, and this team is also better than Borussia Dortmund.

Klopp's team is really difficult to deal with. Everyone plays with this kind of team. If they don't die, they have to peel off their skin. The consumption is really not ordinary. This is very fatal for Real Madrid.

"I really think now, maybe I really want to kill us." Ancelotti said bitterly.

This is an external conspiracy theory, which means to avoid letting Real Madrid defend the title again.

In fact, it is extremely difficult for Real Madrid to defend the title this season, it can even be said to be impossible, because the team has just undergone a reorganization, the attacking problem in the frontcourt is not small, and the defense in the backcourt, especially on the right, is also a big problem. .

Simply put, chances are hard to come by this season.

But to draw such a cruel sign is really a headache.

After the draw for the Champions League group stage, Platini also began to walk on the podium, and made a brief review of the major events in European football in the past season. Niesta's three candidates please come to power.

The final grand prize is finally revealed.
