Chapter 033 Monte Carlo Award Ceremony

After playing against Manchester City, Zhang Yang set off in a helicopter specially arranged by the club. His destination was Morocco.

In the afternoon of this day, Morocco, the smallest and richest country on the Mediterranean coast, was full of stars. At the center of today's Grimaldi meeting in Monte Carlo, famous European football players, active stars, and senior UEFA officials gathered here to participate in the 2008/2009 UEFA Champions League group draw. Formula. Manchester City is not even qualified for the UEFA Cup. Naturally, it has nothing to do with this group draw. However, this draw ceremony is also the major awards ceremony of the Champions League last season.

Zhang Yang scored 15 goals in the Champions League last season, breaking Altafini's goal record and winning the Champions League Golden Boot. He is also the most powerful winner of the best striker. How can he be missing at the award ceremony?

Although the Manchester City Club has nothing to do with such a big scene, they are flamboyant, and Manchester City is also lucky to show up at this 'party' where the European giants gather. Cook, the general manager of Manchester City Club, personally accompanied Zhang Yang to the award ceremony. It can be said that he attached great importance to Zhang Yang's trip. The helicopter Zhang Yang took was also rented by the club.

This is the second time that Zhang Yang came to the drawing ceremony. Like last time, he participated with the management of the new owner. In the 2006/2007 season, Zhang Yang played in the Champions League on behalf of Marseille. He equalized Altafini's goal record with 14 goals, and that summer, he transferred. AC Milan won the award of Best Forward as an AC Milan player. However, when receiving the award, Zhang Yang also said that the award belonged to Marseille and his teammates in Marseille.

This time, he has just transferred from AC Milan to Manchester City, and he is also regarded by almost everyone as the winner of the best striker. In this award, no one is qualified to challenge Zhang Yang.

Because they just finished playing in the league that day, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, as well as Arsenal, were the last clubs to come.

The people of these clubs came almost at the same time, which attracted the attention of the scene. Manchester United is the new champion of the Champions League, Chelsea is the runner-up, Arsenal and Liverpool are also mainstream European giants. The Premier League is also quite strong in these seasons, which is naturally very eye-catching.

In addition, Manchester City, as the only 'part-staff member' who came to the scene and was unrelated to the Champions League, also attracted everyone's attention. For this sudden upstart, other rich families observed with a scrutiny attitude. Of course, their eyes still had a certain feeling of pride and contempt.

In the eyes of these rich families, upstarts like Manchester City are country bumpkin who have never seen the world. Well, hatred of wealth is common. Manchester City is so rich now, and everyone must be unhappy. At this moment, seeing Manchester City, these clubs that are eligible to participate in the Champions League, more or less have pride and pride in their hearts. That means that no matter how rich you are, you are also an upstart. Hey, listen, upstarts, You are not qualified to enter our circle!

Of course, these people are all human spirits, so naturally they will not show this kind of contempt too obvious. Among other things, they can't get along with money. Manchester City is ty-handed in the transfer market, which makes these rich families feel itchy. They not only despise Manchester City, but also are eager to deal with the high price of the 'decomerated products' in their team to Manchester City and make a lot of money. Is this contradiction? There is no contradiction at all.

When Zhang Yang came to the door of the venue accompanied by the club's general manager Cook, the people of Manchester United also came.

Although it is a sworn enemy in the same city, Zhang Yang's private relationship with Manchester United is quite good. Both Manchester United's godfather Ferguson and Manchester United's core Cristiano Ronaldo have a good personal relationship with Zhang Yang.

When they met, Ferguson, Van der Sar and Zhang Yang said hello, and Ferguson seemed to have a good talk with Cook, the general manager of Manchester City Club.

And Cristiano Ronaldo walked to the hall with Zhang Yang. The relationship between the two is good. First of all, their agents are Mendes. In addition, it is interesting that Melissa, one of Zhang Yang's girlfriends. Terio and Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend Nereida is a distant cousin. Of course, both of them are immortal geniuses in football. Geniuses only value geniuses. Between geniuses, they are either hostile to each other or cherish each other. There is no other possibility. Between the two, there is a pity for each other. Of course, they also compete with each other and want to suppress each other.

Although the scene was all heavyweight figures in European football, the arrival of Ferguson, Cristiano Ronaldo and Zhang Yang still caused a lot of sensation, and many football stars and football celebrities stood up to greet them or nodded.

Needless to say, Ferguson and Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United is the new European champion, and Cristiano Ronaldo is the biggest contributor to Manchester United's championship.

As for Zhang Yang, although he has now transferred to the unknown Manchester City, Zhang Yang's personal ability and influence in the football world are obvious, and others will not ignore this superstar because he transferred to Manchester City.

Zhang Yang's eyes wandered around the hall, and soon he appeared AC Milan's head coach Ancelotti, the club's general manager Galliani, and Kaka and Maldini.

Ancelotti had long noticed Zhang Yang. When Zhang Yang looked at him, Ancelotti also happened to look over. Ancelotti and Zhang Yang nodded to each other. Although Zhang Yang left AC Milan and had a bad relationship with the club when he left, he had no relationship with head coach Ancelotti. Affected, he also maintained a good relationship with his former teammates of AC Milan.

When Kaka and Maldini saw Zhang Yang, they both waved to him. Kaka originally wanted to come up and chat with Zhang Yang, but when he saw Zhang Yang and Cristina Ronaldo talking together, he made a gesture, which meant that I would not go. Zhang Yang also nodded to show that he had received it.

I have to say that Manchester City is indeed an alternative tonight. Today, representatives of 33 clubs came to mess up the scene, of which 32 clubs are the top 32 teams in the Champions League this season. Manchester City is a completely embarrassing bystander.

I don't know whether UEFA is intentional or unintentional. Manchester City's seat is right on the side of the Barcelona Club, and Messi is not far away from the publicity. In the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season, AC Milan met Barcelona and finally eliminated Barcelona. And Zhang Yang and Barcelona have a feud. The Catalan media are black and flamboyant, and the Italian media also sarcasm and criticize Messi. Neither Messi nor Zhang Yang seems to have a good impression on the other party.

Therefore, at this time, although the two are very close, today's two talented young people in football just look at each other and turn their heads. No one means to talk to each other first.

Messi was still unconvinced that Barcelona was eliminated by AC Milan last season. For Zhang Yang, Messi was not convinced. Originally, he planned to find Zhang Yang for revenge this season. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang transferred to Manchester City, which surprised Messi. He also said on his Twitter, "I can't believe it, Zhang Going to Manchester City is not a choice that an aspiring player should make. If it were me, I would never make such a choice. In my life, money will never come first.

Obviously, Messi despises the public choice. And he thought that Zhang Yang received money from Manchester City, so he chose to join Manchester City. And this also represents the views of a large number of people.

This made Zhang Yang quite unhappy. He also responded on his Twitter, "Yan Que'an knows Honghu's ambition. Unfortunately, we won't be able to play against Barcelona next season. I enjoyed the elimination of Barcelona last season. It felt really good.

This is red. Naked. Naked slap in the face. If what Messi said didn't have too much fault, Zhang Yang's counterattack was not polite at all, and he directly did not save face for Messi. Therefore, I can understand why Messi, who has always been good-tempered, is so rude and doesn't say hello when he sees Zhang Yang.

He has a deep grudge against publicity.

Less than five minutes after Zhang Yang sat down, the two hosts who presided over the lottery came out from behind the stage. The male host was the American cable TV host Pingto, and the female host was Sylvia. She was a supermodel and a Dutch TV host. In addition, she was also the wife of Dutch football star Van der Vaart.

Sylvia, who is proud and temperamental, announced the process of the draw ceremony tonight to the whole audience, reviewed the scene of last season's Champions League final, and then invited the former Manchester United goalkeeper Shumechel to present the award to the best goalkeeper.

The three candidates for this position are Manchester United's Van der Sar, Chelsea's Cech and Real Madrid's Casillas.

The best goalkeeper was Chelsea goalkeeper Cech. It is a little surprising that Cech can beat Van der Sar. The Czech goalkeeper is not good at this year's European Cup. Of course, in terms of a season's performance, Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar will never be worse than him. Casillas, the best goalkeeper of the European Cup, did not score much because of Real Madrid's poor record in the Champions League season.

While the award ceremony was held, the draw for the group stage of the Champions League in the 2008/2009 season was also held.

Lampard became the first Chelsea player to win the best midfield honor, and he was awarded to Manchester United legend Bobbi. Sir Charlton, the only English player who has won this honor before, was Beckham nine years ago.

Terry won the award for Best Defender. Former AC Milan captain Baresi awarded the award for Best Defender to Terry. Although he missed a penalty in the Champions League final, the captain of the Blues still suppressed Ferdinand. This is also after the battle for England's captain's armband, Terry once again 'defeated' Ferdinand.

Below, there are only awards for the best striker and the best player.

There is almost no suspense in the award of the best striker. He has won the award of the best striker, which is also his second prize. When Zhang Yang first took the best striker's trophy from the Portuguese legend Eusebius, his expression was very calm, because he knew that he would win the award for a long time, but there was no big surprise.

In fact, in addition to the draw for the Champions League group stage next season, people are most concerned about who will be the best player's award.

Although Cristiano Ronaldo is Manchester United's biggest contributor to winning the Champions League, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 42 goals last season, not only becoming the top scorer in the Premier League, but also the second top scorer in the Champions League with 8 goals. However, Zhang Yang's 15 goals in the Champions League and the Serie A have won the golden boots by breaking the goal record, which is also quite tough.

In the words of French Football, 'Cristiano Ronaldo does not win the best player award 100%, because if Zhang Yang wins the best player award, there is no problem. Although he does not win the Champions League, Zhang Yang's performance throughout the season is not better than Cristiano. Nardo is bad, and looking at the data alone, publicity is better.'

The lens gave close-ups to Cristiano Ronaldo and Zhang Yang respectively.

Cristiano Ronaldo looks a little nervous, while Zhang Yang looks indifferent.
