Wenger was relieved.
Human fear often comes from the unknown.
When the group results are released.
The Arsenal manager will not be afraid of any team.
He crossed his hands on his chest and began to plan the rotation and deployment of personnel for the intensive schedule in his mind.
...
PSV head coach Cocu did not show any frustration, and even wanted to laugh a little.
He is not a nobody.
Former Barcelona captain.
"No. 4" Guardiola's good partner.
"King Kong Matador" Enrique's good partner.
Not only inherited La Masia's football philosophy.
He is also very aware of the hidden problems at Camp Nou at this time.
The audience suddenly realized: Barcelona wants to massacre Eredivisie champion PSV... It is not an easy task.
...
The camera showed Monaco coach Jardim.
The bald young marshal's eyes were determined, and his arms leaning on the armrests of the seat were trembling slightly.
Playing against Barcelona, playing against Arsenal, playing against PSV... Is it as difficult as beating Paris Saint-Germain twice?
Two years.
In just two years, he turned Monaco into Paris Saint-Germain's French Ligue 1 dream monster!
The lineup not only has superstars Mbappe and Lemar.
The midfielder is even more powerful: Bernardo Silva, Fabinho, Bakayoko...
No one dares to underestimate this French Ligue 1 team.
If it weren't for the low points in Ligue 1's European competition, Monaco would not have become a fourth-tier team at all.
....
The most fearless one is Enrique.
He has nothing to fear.
Although Alves was driven away, Bravo was abandoned, and Mascherano was snubbed.
But Barcelona introduced a group of elite players this summer: Umtiti, Andre Gomez, Paco...
Not to mention msn that shows up in advance.
If we really couldn't open up the situation, let Messi do the work of Xavi and Iniesta.
Who dares to say that he is a dog crown?
The Barcelona coach's eyes scanned the three opponents.
He seemed to be sizing up the lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Camp Nou has established close links with the Barcelona Meteorological Office.
...
The drawing ceremony continues.
There was a slight regret on Bell's face. He didn't seem to care about the draw results of other groups, but chatted with Li Kang.
"Can you play golf?"
"I recommend a golf course in London to you. I used to go there often when I was still at Tottenham."
“You get to enjoy the sport.”
While talking, Bell did not forget to take out a pen and paper from his suit pocket and left a phone number for Li Kang.
Li Kang nodded seriously and put the number away silently.
Ronaldo also doesn't care about the grouping situation.
He's looking forward to the awards after the draw... UEFA Player of the Year!
....
Thirty-five minutes later.
The draw results for the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League group stage are officially announced.
Group A: Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Basel, Ludogorets.
Group B: Benfica, Napoli, Dynamo Kyiv, Besiktas.
Group C: Barcelona, Arsenal, PSV, Monaco.
Group D: CSKA Moscow, Atletico Madrid, Lyon, Rostov.
Group E: Bayer Leverkusen, Porto, Tottenham Hotspur, Celtic,
Group F: Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Sporting Lisbon, Legia Warsaw.
Group G: Leicester City, Bayern Munich, Club Brugge, Copenhagen.
Group H: Juventus, Sevilla, Borussia Monchengladbach, Dinamo Zagreb.
The barrage exploded.
-[Why do I think the smell of blood in group E is stronger? Regardless of strength, the overall strength of those four clubs is somewhat similar. 】
-[The unlucky one is not Li Mingdeng, but Leverkusen. 】
-[I am optimistic that Juventus will win the championship this year. It is not easy. Every year they are either the semi-finals or the runner-up. 】
-[Group h is also considered the group of death, right? 】
-[Not counting, Sevilla definitely wants to dominate the Europa League to get more broadcast shares and bonuses. If Borussia doesn't meet Bayern...their strength is just that. 】
....
The coaches of each club have different thoughts.
Someone rejoices.
Someone is sad.
Only Guardiola is still burying his head in writing and drawing on the scratch paper.
It’s the old saying: playing well is not as good as pumping well.
Ranieri was in trouble because he couldn't figure out that Leicester City was clearly the first seeded team, but they were drawn to the Bundesliga runner-up Bayern Munich, who was double beaten by Bayer Leverkusen!
Tuchel is confident: No team can restrain Dortmund, not even Real Madrid.
Zidane yawned.
He looked around and suddenly realized: This group of club representatives can piece together a powerful historical formation!
Goalkeeper: Brugge coach.
Defenders: Tottenham coach Pochettino, Basel coach Fischer, Barcelona coach Enrique.
Midfielder: Manchester City coach - Guardiola, Juventus coach - Allegri, PSV coach - Cocu, Atletico Madrid coach - Simeone, Bayern coach - Ancelotti.
】
Forward: Leverkusen sporting director Voller!
What about yourself?
Of course he is the head coach of this group of people!
...
There was a faint hiss in my ears.
Pedro Pinto didn't dare talk nonsense for too long.
Immediately announce the entry into the award ceremony.
Lights of various colors complement each other.
The long-silent Champions League theme song played again.
The first award is: UEFA's Best Women's Football Player!
Didn't create any suspense. The host read the name directly.
Lyon women's football scorer who scored 54 goals in 34 games in a single season: Hegelberg.
A strong and burly little girl appeared quickly.
"Do you have any goals for the new season?"
"Scored 60 goals."
After a moment of silence... thunderous applause.
The level of shock is comparable to Li Kang’s female football star.
....
Next is the selection of the men's football team.
UEFA Player of the Year!
The camera quickly showed Cristiano Ronaldo, Li Kang, and Bale.
The tempo of the stage music is getting faster and faster.
The winner will be chosen among three people.
Ronaldo took a deep breath.
Bell had a smile on his face.
Li Kang's expression was calm.
When Spanish Football Federation President-Bilal stepped onto the main stage tremblingly.
The answer lost any suspense.
The large LED screen began to play the highlights of Spain's journey to win the 2016 European Cup.
finally.
Fixed in the scene of winning the trophy.
"With 22 goals and 21 assists in the Bundesliga, he brought the German Cup and salad plate back to Nordrhein."
"With 9 goals and 2 assists in the Champions League, he led Leverkusen through all the obstacles and reached the semi-finals."
"Eleven golden boots in the European Cup, the historical top scorer. He is the sword bearer of the European champion Spain and the commander of the Armada."
"I declare, UEFA Men's Footballer of the Year."
"Li Kang!"
When Pilar called out the last name, he was almost frightened by the exclamation from the audience and stopped holding the small card.
For a moment.
The huge venue burst into thunderous applause.
There was no dispute over the award results.
At the age of 19, he won the UEFA Player of the Year Award, which is comparable to Ronaldo back then.
...
Ronaldo's expression was stiff for a few seconds, then he smiled and applauded, and took the initiative to give up the aisle, signaling Li Kang to come to the stage to receive the award.
at the same time.
Buffon appeared on the main stage in a suit and tie with a serious look on his face.
He is a 'sign language interpreter' specially invited by the organizer.
The Juventus goalkeeper is very handsome when he has a straight face, and his temperament in his words and deeds is as good as any Hollywood male star.
Li Kang took the trophy from Bilal.
Pedro Pinto immediately began the interview.
"Lee, please tell me about your acceptance speech."
The most interesting scene in the history of UEFA was born:
Li Kang was still holding the trophy in both hands, and Buffon had already started to translate!
"Thank you Grandpa Worrall."
"Thank you Grandpa Top."
"Thank you Grandpa Bosque."
"Thank you to all the club teammates and national team teammates who fought side by side."
"And my most admired opponent, Buffon!"
