Chapter 041 UEFA Champions League Draw and Award Ceremony Next
Zhang Yang blinked. He looked at the beautiful hostess, and his heart was like boiling water. He has a lot of question marks. Unfortunately, now is not the time to speak.
He looked at Melissa doubtfully. Trio, the beautiful host has returned to normal, and I can't see any clue.
Of course, in addition to doubts, it is false to say that Zhang Yang has no pride and joy in his heart. With such a beautiful woman, men will not reject it. Almost everyone will be in full bloom.
"Zhang, won the European Golden Boot Award. You are the player who scored the most goals last season. Do you have anything to say to the fans?" The host said.
Zhang Yang smiled, and his face was full of spring breeze. He picked up the golden boots in his hand and raised them. "Hi, everyone. I have to say that what I just received is the best gift. Of course, I'm not saying that this trophy is not good!"
Looking at Zhang Yang's bad smile, the people in the meeting also smiled kindly.
"Well, the speech that should be said was finished when I received the award just now. I won't say more this time, thank you. Thank you all! See you next year!" Zhang Yang said neatly, and in the end, he also confidently booked next year's award!
Zhang Yang's words are not just words. He firmly believes that he will be the protagonist here next year!
Because Zhang Yang knows that he is not the most eye-catching protagonist this year, because he will definitely have no chance in the award of the best player with the most valuable content. Everyone on earth knows that the award must be Kaka's, and AC Milan's Brazilian star award is well-able! In the UEFA Champions League in the 2006/2007 season, Kaka's performance was phenomenal.
Subsequently, Zhang Yang, as the guest of the fourth team draw in the group stage of the 2007/2008 Champions League, completed the draw with the help of two UEFA officials.
Zhang Yang's luck is neither good nor bad. He drew the Ukrainian giant Donetsk miner to Group D where AC Milan is located. Although this signing is not good, it is also a good result to avoid the two Turkish teams, Besiktas and Fenerbahce. The hell away game of the Turkish team is what all European teams don't want to face.
After the fourth team was drawn, the top 32 of the UEFA Champions League, and the eight groups were also settled.
The specific results are as follows:
Group A: Liverpool Porto Marseille Besiktas;
Group B: Chelsea Valencia Schalke 04 Rosenberg;
Group C: Real Madrid Werda Bremerazzi Olympiacos;
Group D: AC Milan Benfica Celtic Shakhtar Donetsk;
Group E: Glasgow Rangers, Lyon Stuttgart, Barcelona;
Group F: Manchester United Roma Atletico Lisbon Kiev Dynamo;
Group G: Inter Milan Eindhoven Moscow Central Army Fenerbahce;
Group H: Arsenal Sevilla/Athens AEK Bucharest Star Slavia Prague;
At this drawing ceremony, the two groups presented a collision between the giant teams of the Premier League and La Liga. In Group B, Chelsea must lament why they draw the death group every year. Last season, they barely defeated Valencia with a stoppage time. After Valencia's expansion this year, there is no doubt that they want to take revenge. At the same time, Schalke 04 in the group relies on its strong physical advantage, and Rosenberg relies on the cold weather at home, which will further make the qualifying situation of the two strong. With a little carelessness, the two may be jealous in order to qualify.
In Group H, Arsenal may be happy that they have won a good draw, but the existence of the two-time League Cup champion Sevilla may have to make Wenger struggle for the first place in the group. Being able to force Barcelona and Real Madrid into a desperate situation in La Liga, Sevilla's strength cannot be underestimated, and the return of the Bucharest Star team and the Czech strong Slavia Prague will also build momentum for the fight between the top two.
In addition, because in this Champions League, because most of the strong teams are concentrated in the first and second levels, there is no longer the situation that Chelsea has become the second level and Bremen has become the third level like last year, so there is no such terrible group of death last year. However, this also laid the foundation for the emergence of dark horses.
In Group A, Turkey's Besiktas is fully capable of dreaming of qualifying. Marsai in Ribery and Porto in Pepe are not enough to block all their qualifying possibilities. In Group D, the fourth-grade team Donetsk Miners of Ukraine is likely to challenge Benfica and the Celtics; Atletico Lisbon and Dynamo Kiev in Group F, Bucharest Star and Slavia Prague in Group F are also likely to create miracles.
On the premise that the strength of major European leagues has made great progress, perhaps this year people can really understand what the Champions League is.
In addition, the encounter between some players or coaches and the old owner has also become a highlight. In addition to Rui Costa, who will lead Benfica back to San Siro, Nani from Atletico Lisbon will also meet his former teammates with Manchester United. In the summer, the exchange of players between the giants in Europe has become frequent, resulting in endless stories of "old generals meeting old masters" in the Champions League. In addition, there is Schuster, who leads Real Madrid to return to Germany to fight. This is also an alternative "old general meets the old master". I don't know whether these people will get applause or boos?
Just like last year, four teams in Serie A attacked, but only one team from AC Milan drew a good draw.
In terms of the Rossoneri, whether it is Benfica, the Celtics or the Miners, it is even difficult to face AC Milan. As long as the Rossoneri do not make mistakes, it is very difficult for the team to qualify. It is no exaggeration to say that AC Milan won the lottery. The only difficulty is that AC Milan will have to face the cold weather in Donetsk.
Inter Milan is completely different. Eindhoven is the champion of the Dutch League. In the past many years, this team has even complained about AC Milan. Moscow Central Army is rich, and the existence of many Brazilian marginal international players in the team will infinitely amplify the technical content of Inter Milan's midfield. Foot defect; Fenerbahce has the devil's home court. The most terrible thing is that when Inter Milan draws such a group, they have to fly to Moscow in the cold season for the second year in a row. The cold weather and flying back and forth will make the Nerazzurri's team qualify.
In terms of the two top two in Rome, the Roma team drew Manchester United. Due to the covetion of Sporting Lisbon and Dynamo Kiev behind them, I'm afraid that the Romans can't focus all on the revenge of Manchester United. Lazio drew Real Madrid and Bremen in front of them. If the Blue Eagles want to qualify, they have to open a bloody road.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the top four of Serie A, AC Milan drew the top three, and the other top three only drew the top, or even the bottom.
After the draw, Saki, the famous Italian instructor, was invited to the stage.
He announced the winner of the best coach of last season.
AC Milan head coach Ancelotti won the award for Best Coach.
Now, the best coach is AC Milan head coach Ancelotti, and the best defender is the team captain Paul. Maldini, the best midfielder is the Dutch veteran Sidov of the Dutch team, and the best striker is Zhang Yang. AC Milan has won four awards. The limelight has been in the air for a while.
The camera also gave Manchester United head coach Ferguson. Lord led Manchester United to the league championship last season, and the Champions League also reached the top four. This result is also quite excellent. However, it is precisely because he was eliminated by Ancelotti's AC Milan in the semi-finals of the Champions League, so this is also the loss of Lord. Divided place.
After the award of the best coach, UEFA President Platini came to the stage. People also know that the most important award tonight is about to be announced, that is, the award of the best player in European football last season!
When Zhang Yang returned to his seat, he squeezed his eyes at Kaka: "Hey, Kaka, get ready to go up! Let's hug first."
"Ha ha, that's not necessarily true? Everyone has hope!" Kaka replied modestly.
Zhang Yang curled his lips. This is the difference between him and Kaka. If Zhang Yang is in the current position and situation of Kaka, he will never be so modest. This guy will definitely say bluntly, "Haha, thank you."
Galliani's face showed a smile. Kaka will obviously be the winner of the best player. In this way, AC Milan won five of the six awards: best coach, best goalkeeper, best guard, best midfielder, best striker and best player. At this award ceremony, it can He said that tonight, the real winner is AC Milan.
At this time, Platini also finished speaking on the stage and it was time to announce the best player: " Last season, the best player in Europe was... Kaka!!!!"
This is a result without any suspense, and there was also a warm applause at the scene!
"Kaka, he led AC Milan to win the Champions League last season. He scored a total of ten goals in the Champions League!! His performance last season was completely dominant, and he was well-deserved... the best player!"
Zhang Yang stood up. After hugging Zhang Yang, Maldini, Sedorf and head coach Ancelotti, he walked to the podium with warm applause from the audience!
Kaka accepted Platini's congratulations and hugged the former French superstar who had just defeated Johansson and became the new head of UEFA. Then, the Brazilian star took the trophy symbolizing the best player from UEFA President Platini.
"I'm very happy to be on the podium! The 2006/2007 season is destined to be an unforgettable season for me and AC Milan. This year is also the year I harvested, and we are on the top of Europe. Of course, this is not my own credit, because I have excellent teammates. It is their close cooperation that has given me such an excellent performance and won the European championship! Thank you for joining me, thank you coach, please allow me to call you Carlo, thank you, coach, thank you teammates, thank the club, and thank UEFA for its hard work this year. The glory of last season has become a thing of the past, and I hope to create greater glory with this great team!" Kaka said with a spring breeze on his face.
AC Milan fans in front of the TV burst into great cheers. This night, on this stage, the Rossoneri is undoubtedly the biggest winner. Their stars are shining. Before the birth of the championship in the 2007/2008 season, they were the kings of Europe!
AC Milan fans are crazy about Kaka and regard him as the team's new flag. Seeing the high-willed Kaka, they are more and more looking forward to the new season. They firmly believe that with Kaka and so many champion players, they can definitely lead AC Milan to continue to be brilliant.
Zhang Yang is also applauding. Zhang Yang is not jealous that his teammate Kaka won the award for Best Player, because this is what Kaka deserves. The Brazilian star's performance last season is simply a phenomenon.
However, looking at the vigorous Brazilian teammates, Zhang Yang also had a fighting spirit in his heart.
Kaka, this year is yours, congratulations.
However, you have to be careful,
Next year, this trophy is mine!
Men should be so ambitious!
