Chapter 668

According to the classification rules of UEFA, Barcelona ranks the highest in European points, followed by Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United. All the four Premier League giants are in the top five.

From this it is not difficult to see the strength of the Premier League today.

Especially for Chelsea, although Abramovich is not popular in the cold, the great investment of the Russians has really ensured the competitiveness of the blues in Europe.

The remaining three teams are Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and Lyon.

The team with the highest European points in the Bundesliga is Bayern Munich, second in second place, behind Real Madrid.

These two teams are also all the first team are most reluctant to encounter, who touch who is unlucky, especially Bayern Munich.

The high cold is famous outside. Everyone is praying to God to avoid the killing God.

But the first is the awarding of major awards.

Although Barcelona won the Champions League in the end last season, the performance of many players in the team is not satisfactory, especially goalkeeper Valdez, whose unstable performance makes it difficult for him to win the prize.

Peter Cech, from Atletico Madrid, was the final goalkeeper of the year.

The Czech goalkeeper's performance in the bedspread team is amazing. He is perfect and almost flawless.

Alpine coach for so many years, brought out a lot of goalkeepers, Edwin van der Sar, Cesar and Noel have been selected as the best goalkeeper candidate list this time, but there is no doubt that Cech with a stable and sustained high level of play proved his strength.

The Czech goalkeeper has won the best goalkeeper for two consecutive seasons, giving him the strength to compete with Casillas and even Buffon.

As a result of participating in the national team training, so Cech did not come to the scene, by Atletico Madrid general manager Paul futre instead of him to receive the cup.

After the award of the best goalkeeper, it doesn't make much sense to group the first seeded team.

The second award announced is the best defender. The competition for this award is fierce.

Puyol of Barcelona, Ferdinand of Manchester United, Lucio of Bayern Munich and John Terry of Chelsea are all the most powerful contenders for this award, but in the end Puyol won the award.

As for the ownership of this award, Gao Han has some objections.

From the honor point of view, Puyol is well deserved, but from the overall stable performance point of view, Terry is better.

If you look at it from the fans, Lucio must be better, because his performance in last season was amazing, and he was the defender who scored the most goals in European football last season.

As for Ferdinand, he is suffering from the instability of his teammate Pepe, but Manchester United can reach the Champions League final, which is the best proof of his performance.

It should be said that the strength and performance of the four candidates are almost the same, so it's not unreasonable to give them to anyone.

It's just that the best awards tend to go to the Champions League.

However, Bayern Munich are often at a loss in this kind of awards, because they pay more attention to the Champions League.

After the award of the best defender, the awarding ceremony began to enter the most suspense part, the second draw.

Puyol, who won the best defender, was the guest of the lucky draw. When asked by the host, the Barcelona captain said with a smile that he didn't mind drawing any teams, but when asked by the host about Bayern Munich, he admitted to the point that Barcelona didn't have enough confidence to win.

"To tell you the truth, in the past many years, I didn't like the cold, because he and his Atletico Madrid left a very painful shadow on me shortly after I entered the first team. This memory has been encouraging me in the past years."

"But later, as I gradually accumulated experience, I was surrounded by some outstanding teammates, including Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Deco, pique and Messi. They all played under the leadership of the high cold, and I can clearly see that they are different from other players."

"That's an interesting difference, but I can't tell exactly what it feels like."

When Puyol said this, he seemed to realize that he had said a little too much and laughed awkwardly.

"In fact, I mean, I don't mind winning Bayern Munich. It's not about winning or losing. I think Gao and his team are like a mirror. Through him, you can understand yourself more clearly and improve yourself."

Puyol's answer immediately won him a full house of applause.

No matter whether it's true or not, I'm afraid a lot of people at the scene are introspecting in their hearts. They were worried about winning Bayern Munich. Is it a bit of fear before fighting?

It seems that Puyol's courage brought him good luck. Barcelona didn't win Bayern Munich, Rome or Juve in the end, but won Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League.

Chelsea beat Roma, inter beat Werder Bremen, Liverpool beat Eindhoven

After four rounds of draw, there are four teams with outstanding strength left, namely Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Porto and Juve. The second team will face Manchester United, Lyon, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid.

Obviously, the faces of the representatives of the four seeded teams are not good because of bad luck.

After the demotion, the strength of Juve has been weakened a lot. However, camel is bigger than horse, and the Italian team is famous for being difficult to deal with. As for Porto, the Portuguese Super League, they have the strength of the top 16 or even the top 8 in recent years, which should not be underestimated.

Real Madrid are in the top 16 every year, but their strength is also good. Bayern Munich is a nightmare that all teams are afraid to avoid.

The atmosphere of the Grimaldi Conference Center suddenly became very tense, and the scene was so quiet that there was only the sound of breathing.

"Real Madrid When Puyol hard to call out the name, the scene a burst of exclamation.

David Gill, Manchester United's chief executive, immediately closed his eyes with a look of relief.

Obviously, for Manchester United, as long as it's not Bayern Munich, it will be a good choice.

But the atmosphere was even more tense, because there were only three seed teams left.

Lyon, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, who will be the real loser?

Everyone on the scene is holding a heart, waiting anxiously, watching Puyol put his hand into the scoring jar and take out a small ball. This time, the team will be the opponent of Lyon in group F.

The live camera is also very funny. The big screen shows the expression of Lyon, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid at the same time. It is obvious that Lyon President Olas closed his eyes and prayed to God, while Arsenal and Atletico Madrid are looking forward to Bayern Munich.

For Lyon, the first in the group has more advantages in the last 16 knockout matches, and can ensure the team to enter the last eight, which can create more than 10 million euros of revenue for the team, which can not be ignored by Olas.

On the stage, Puyol grabbed the ball, broke it, took out a note from it, looked at it, laughed, showed the note to the guests, and yelled: "Bayern Munich!"

For a moment, there was an uproar.

Lyon President Olas is Sparta, but others around him are all excited, especially Atletico Madrid's Paul futre, who originally mentioned a heart at the throat and completely let it go.

Now he finally understood why the high cold was both respectful and frightening.

Who wants to meet his team?

Draw out the biggest suspense, the other draw is no longer suspense.

Arsenal's second team won Porto and Atletico Madrid won Juve. Compared with Lyon, they are lucky.

As for Bayern Munich, the seed team is Lyon, the third is Bucharest star, the fourth is Fiorentina from Serie A, and the viola is also the strongest team in the fourth.

The remaining three awards, the best midfield, went to Barcelona's Xavi, but the best striker and best player went to Inter's Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

One of the most important reasons is that the Portuguese has scored a lot in the past season, which not only helped inter win the league title, but also won the European golden boot award, and also made an eye-catching performance in the Champions League.

It should be said that these three awards are well deserved.

After the draw, Olas's face became extremely ugly.

What is the death group?

This is the death group!

Before the game was played, we knew that there was no hope for the first place in the group. What's more, even the second place could not be guaranteed.

This is not the death group. What is it?

In fact, everyone's impression of group F is also the death group.

First of all, three of the four teams are from the five major leagues. Bayern Munich are ranked in the second place because of their superior strength. It goes without saying that Lyon is a French class bully with excellent strength. Fiorentina's performance in the Serie A League is also obvious to all. As for Bucharest star, it is a veteran of the Champions League for many years.

Such a group match combination is really frightening, no one dare to be careless.

However, Liverpool's group should not be underestimated. The second is Eindhoven, the third is Marseille, and the fourth is Villarreal. They are also excellent teams, which can be called another death group.

According to convention, after the draw, representatives will be interviewed by media reporters, and alpine is no exception.

Gao said he was satisfied with the result of the draw.

"As a matter of fact, no matter who I draw, I will be satisfied because it is a happy thing for us to be able to return to the Champions League

"Of course, the group we are in is really challenging and the competition is cruel, but this is the Champions League, the most challenging competition in the world's professional football. We will actively deal with it and enjoy the fun of professional football."

Compared with the calm and calm of the head coach, Rahm was interviewed by the media as the captain of Bayern Munich for the first time. He said that the team has the determination to overcome any difficulties when they return to the Champions League after a year's absence.

"This group is not easy, but we have to accept the challenge, but I don't think it's a death group. Although it will be difficult, it's definitely not a tragedy."

"The team wants to become a strong player in European football, even a dominator, which requires that we should not be afraid of any opponent," Rahm said in an interview with the media

At the end of the interview, Rahm also said that the coach's rich experience in leading the team will also help the team overcome the difficulties encountered in the Champions League.

"He is a fantastic manager and we all believe that under his leadership we can win in a row to the end

In addition to captain Rahm, general manager henes, who attended the draw on behalf of Bayern Munich, also said that it is not a bad thing for Bayern Munich to return to the Champions League but be assigned to a relatively difficult group.

"It's good for us to know ourselves more clearly."

At the same time, Hoeness also said that it is very exciting to play against a strong team. Bayern Munich are confident to accept such a challenge and stand out from the group stage.

Both the media and the fans are full of confidence in Bayern Munich's promotion.

However, for the cold, this is the future.

What's really in front of him is the European Super Cup against Barcelona tomorrow night.

This is undoubtedly the sentinel battle before the Champions League group match.
