The draw for the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League group stage began.
Hosting the UEFA Champions League group draw was UEFA Secretary General Infantino, who announced the official start of the UEFA Champions League group draw.
Then UEFA President Platini appeared at the scene holding the Champions League trophy.
Platini also spoke on stage, looking forward to the new season.
Then, Infantino came to the stage to introduce the 32 teams in the Champions League. The big screen on the stage was the introduction video of the 32 teams.
Zhong Cheng's eyes stayed on this big screen, watching carefully, to see what level the top 32 teams are this time?
After the video was played, Infantino claimed that UEFA divided the thirty-two teams into four grades through team and league points. When the group draws, the teams of the same grade will not meet. Yes, teams from the same Football Association will not meet.
At this point, the big frequency behind Infantino appeared in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League this season, as follows:
First team: AC Milan, Barcelona, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Leeds, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United
Second team: Valencia, Lyon, Porto, Seville, Eindhoven, Rome, Benfica, Werder Bremen
Third team: Marseille, Celtic, Schalke 04, Stuttgart, Bucharest Star, CSKA Moscow, Atletico Lisbon, Lazio
Fourth-team teams: Rosenberg, Glasgow Rangers, Dynamo Kyiv, Betaxes, Donetsk Miners, Olympiacos, Fenerbahce and Prague Slavia
Yes, the Bundesliga Bayern Munich team has not been able to reach the top three of the Bundesliga, missed the UEFA Champions League this season, just like the Arsenal team in the Premier League, they are also missed the top four, unable to participate in this season's Europe Champions League game now.
Zhong Cheng saw the windshield. The only thing the team in the second grade was afraid of was Rome. The strength of the Roma team is very strong. If you are in a group with them, you must be careful. If you add a Bundesliga Team, then this group is a veritable death group,
Zhong Cheng naturally does not want Leeds United to be part of such a group. Zhong Cheng hopes that the Leeds United team will be as easy and simple as possible.
The Leeds players watched the Champions League draw in front of the TV.
Zhong Zheng sat beside Zhong Cheng because he was nominated for the best goalkeeper of the UEFA Champions League this time. I don't know if he can win.
Nominated with Zhong Zheng are also last season Champions League champions AC Milan team goalkeeper Dida, last season Champions League semi-final Chelsea goalkeeper Peter Cech, these three people to compete for this season ’s Champions League last season The glory of the good goalkeeper,
Infantino has introduced the rules for the draw of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Teams of the same grade under the same Football Association will not be divided into the same group, and there is nothing to consider.
At this point, Infantino must present an award before the official draw, which is the best goalkeeper of the Champions League last season.
Infantino claims: "Dida, AC Milan, Peter Cech of Chelsea, Odrich Chung of Liz United are shortlisted for the 2006-2007 Champions League Best Goalkeeper Award!"
Whenever a person's name is spoken, the camera lens at the scene is aimed at the person, and the atmosphere at the scene is adjusted to the most tense moment.
At this time, Infantino announced: "The best goalkeeper of the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League is-Peter Cech, from Chelsea!"
The corners of Zhong Zheng's mouth moved slightly before applauding.
Obviously, Zhong Zheng is not convinced, he thinks that the award belongs to him. But he did lose to Peter Cech.
Zhong Zheng believes that the reason he did not receive this award is that Leeds United did not reach the Champions League quarter-finals, which made Zhong Zheng very unhappy. At the same time, he was determined to lead Leeds United to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, and even directly to the Champions League.
Zhong Cheng knows Zhong Zheng very well. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter. The best goalkeeper of the UEFA Champions League this season must be yours!"
Zhong Zheng looked up at Zhong Cheng and then said directly: "I think so too! Rest assured, I haven't gone down, I now feel full of energy in my body!"
Zhong Cheng smiled slightly and nodded.
Chelsea's Jack goalkeeper Peter Cech came to the stage to receive the award, which is also the first award presented today.
Infantino then announced that the draw was the beginning, and the first team was drawn first. Of course, picking the first-grade team is not often exciting at all, because this is just a simple sorting, so that the first-grade team is in its place.
The lottery guests invited by Infantino started to draw. The first Real Madrid drawn, they were drawn to Group C. The second Red Devils Manchester United team was drawn. They were drawn to Group F. The third player to be drawn was Liverpool, who were drawn to Group A. The fourth was drawn out of Barcelona and they were drawn to Group E.
By this time, the first-grade team had already drawn half of it, but still did not arrive at Leeds United. Zhong Cheng still had a bit of fluctuation in his heart.
The fifth draw was Leeds United. They were assigned to Group H, the last group. The sixth was drawn from Inter Milan, and they were drawn to Group G. The seventh draw was AC Milan, the defending champion was drawn to Group D. The last one is of course Chelsea, and they have been assigned to Group B.
At this time, the results of the first-level team draw came out, and everyone was making good numbers. Next is the moment of intense excitement, it is time to draw the second-grade team.
At this time, many people are thinking, hoping to avoid the Roma team.
Zhong Cheng smiled slightly. According to FIFA's bad taste, Zhong Cheng felt that the Roman team was likely to be drawn by the Red Devils Manchester United. Because in the UEFA Champions League last season, Rome and Manchester United fought in the knockout match, and Rome was beaten by Manchester United with a big score of seven to one, and the two teams took on the enemy. If the two teams meet in the group stage, it must be very interesting.
In the past, the UEFA Champions League lottery really had similar results. It is no wonder that many people claim that the UEFA lottery is a black-box operation, which has been designed by UEFA. These lottery ceremonies have just come to an end. That's it.
Zhong Cheng also imagined that if this was the case, UEFA could still divide Chelsea and Valencia into one group, because Chelsea also faced Valencia in the UEFA Champions League knockout last season. There are also unpleasant times. Maybe we will meet again this time in advance?
Zhong Cheng's eyes were fixed on Infantino, wouldn't this guy really dare to do that?
However, before that, UEFA has to find a way to win a prize. It is the best defender of the UEFA Champions League last season, and was nominated by AC Milan's centre back Nesta and Liverpool's center Guard Carragher and Chelsea centre-back John Terry.
After seeing these people, this result has no suspense at all. Sure enough, the 2006-2007 season Champions League best defender award was given to defending champion AC Milan's center defender Nesta, Nesta came to power to receive the award, after the speech, he ended.
Next, the most nervous and exciting group draws.
This is the second-level team. The sub-group is really about to start. The people on the scene and in front of the TV are nervous, and they are nervous.
At this moment, Infantino invited the second lottery guest today, and then conducted a group lottery.
First, the team drawn by the drawn guests is Rome!
Zhongcheng was shocked in my heart, my god, do you want to be so big as soon as you come up?
Rome is the strongest team in the second-grade team, but also the second-grade team that the last-grade team does not want to meet. It was so fierce as soon as he came up, everyone at the scene took a breath.
Dangerous, who will get the Roma team?
Zhong Cheng was also worried that Leeds United was drawn to Rome, but he still felt that in accordance with UEFA's urine, it must be Manchester United who must win the Manchester team.
At this point, Zhong Cheng could not help but glance at Alex Ferguson.
Alex Ferguson frowned, and his face was a little gloomy. Feeling Zhong Cheng's gaze, he immediately said faintly: "Why, do you really measure the abdomen of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? UEFA can ..."
Before Alex Alex had finished, Infantino opened the piece of paper in his hand and read aloud: "Group F! Rome and Manchester United are in the same group!"
When I heard Zhong Cheng here, he just laughed and laughed directly, didn't hold back!
And Alex Ferguson's face turned blue, and the psychologist was endlessly angry!
The damned UEFA has been operating in such a blatantly dark box, it is simply insulting the public's IQ. Damn UEFA, **** it is garbage!
Roman coach Spalletti's face was also very ugly, and his mood was very bad.
The scene was strangely quiet. It seems that many people have already guessed before, UEFA will separate Rome and Manchester United in the same group. Now this thing really happened, the people at the scene took a breath of breath and had nothing to say.
UEFA is really awe-inspiring. It is so blatant. After the draw, there will definitely be various shady remarks. UEFA is going to be hacked again.
Zhong Cheng also gave UEFA a thumbs up in his heart. This group of guys really dare to play. And they also played so blatantly, the UEFA group of people is really the best of the best!
Zhong Cheng looked up at Infantino at this time. Wouldn't this guy really give Valencia to Chelsea too? If this is the case, UEFA is really a fool!
At this point, the other coaches all had the same thoughts as Zhong Cheng, waiting quietly.
At this time, the head coaches of Chelsea and Valencia are both a little worried and a little nervous. They both looked at each other and were very tacit in their hearts. It seems that this time they really want to separate Valencia from Chelsea. In the same group.
Everyone at the scene and in front of the TV was staring at Infantino on the stage, all wondering, would this guy let this happen?
