Chapter 333: Champions League Draw
Early in the morning of August 26, Li Feng took a special plane to the southeast of France, where there is a very small country, the Principality of Morocco, Morocco is the second-to-last country in the world, with a total area of only 1.98 square kilometers, second only to the Vatican.
The purpose of Li Feng's trip was to participate in the Champions League group draw and last season's Champions League award ceremony, although there was a Bundesliga game in two days, but Li Feng was an injured player, anyway, there was no game task, so he was invited to come to this group stage draw.
Along with Li Feng are Silvia and Lauren, after all, Li Feng is the best player in the Champions League, although Bayern Munich lost the game, but Li Feng's performance is not denied.
As for Silvia and Lauren, these two are purely here to play, and the destination of Morocco's trip is Monte Carlo, which is known as the three major gambling places, and the two bored Dutchmen are ready to come and see it.
In addition to Li Feng, there is also Dutch Peter Pan Robben, similarly, Robben is also in the stage of recuperation, but unlike Li Feng, in September, Li Feng can return to the field, while Robben may not be until November and December.
For Robben, Lauren said that it is impossible without ideas, but unfortunately Robben's agent is his father, even if Lauren wants to pry, he can't pry, many players are like this, the agent is either a father or an elder brother, the most famous of which is Anelka, the two brothers of the French striker are famous in the agent circle, of course, it is not a good reputation.
A good agent is really important to a player, and often a decision of the agent can even affect a player's career, and players ruined by agents abound. Let's just say Anelka. If it weren't for his two older brothers. It is estimated that this talented player's achievements are definitely more than that.
At the awards ceremony that night, Li Feng undoubtedly became the biggest personal winner, the best midfielder in the Champions League, the best player in the Champions League, were all bagged by Li Feng, nine games in the Champions League, Li Feng scored a total of 6 goals and 7 assists, Li Feng first received the best midfielder trophy from the Italian legend Zola. In the end, it was from Platini that he won the most important Player of the Year trophy.
There are only two Bayern Munich who entered the best team in Europe, needless to say Li Feng, and the other is Robben who came with Li Feng on this trip.
Li Feng was the biggest winner of the night, the club's biggest winner was last season's champion Inter Milan, McCone became the second full-back best defender after Carlos, Cesar beat Valdés and Lloris to be named best goalkeeper, and Milito was the best striker.
If it weren't for Li Feng's appearance, it is estimated that this award ceremony would have become Inter Milan's standout, and the draw for the Champions League group was held at the same time as the award ceremony. Even Li Feng was a guest in the lottery.
Li Feng's luck was quite good, helping Bayern Munich to get the sign. Ranked in Group E, there are Roma, Basel and Cluj in the same group, and even after the game, the German media praised Li Feng's good luck "Oh my God~~~ This draw of the wind is simply to escort Bayern Munich into the knockout round, and the whole group, except for Rome has a certain strength, the other two are not to worry about at all." ”
The next day, Van Gaal also said in an interview: "I am very satisfied with being able to draw such a group, this group also helped the team avoid the trouble of long-distance flights, we will go all out in the group stage, and strive to appear as soon as possible, I think next time there is such a thing, we should let the wind go" At the end, Van Gaal did not forget to make a joke.
The other groupings are as follows: Group A: Inter Milan, Bremen, Tottenham Hotspur, Twente, Group B: Lyon, Benfica, Schalke 04, Tel Aviv Workers, Group C: Manchester United, Valencia, Rangers, Bursa, Group D: Barcelona, Panathinaikos, Copenhagen, Kazan Ruby, Group F: Chelsea, Marseille, Spartak Moscow, Zhilina, Group G: AC Milan, Real Madrid, Ajax, Auxerre, Group H: Arsenal, Shakhtar Donetsk, Braga, Belgrade guerrilla.
It can be seen from the group draw that Barcelona is indeed Platini's godson, as the strongest team in Europe, they are in a group with a weak group stage, which is completely to ensure that Barcelona enters the knockout round.
On the other hand, Real Madrid's fans have been crying and fainting in the toilet at the moment, Group G is called the super death group by the media, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Eredivisie hegemon Ajax, French powerhouse Auxerre, this group can be called the most in the history of the Champions League group.
Real Madrid has won the Champions League nine times, AC Milan is close behind, with 7 titles, Ajax has also won 4 Champions League trophies, and the three teams together have exactly 20 times.
In addition to this crazy group of death, there are two other groups in this draw that can also be called the group of death, Group A where Inter Milan is located, Bremen, and Tottenham Hotspur are not weak teams, Tottenham Hotspur left Liverpool behind last season, which also indicates the end of the era of the traditional top four dominance of the Premier League, and officially began to enter the Warring States era, that is, the weakest group of Twente is also the champion of the Eredivisie last season.
As for the last group of death, it belongs to Group B, Lyon, Schalke 04, Benfica, Tel Aviv Workers, this group is called the group of death because the strength is too even, four teams, no team can claim to win.
Although these two groups are also known as the group of death, they are not as eye-catching as Group G, but there is no way, in these two groups, the only one who can really be called a giant is Inter Milan.
Although Bremen and Schalke 04 are unfortunate, it is undoubtedly good news for Bayern Munich, because they will focus more on the Champions League, especially Schalke 04, which has invested quite a lot this season.
After the end of the draw, Li Feng and Robben did not stay in Morocco, although the two earned a lot of money, but they did not have such a bad habit of gambling, so the two immediately boarded the plane and returned to Bayern Munich together, after that, Li Feng uploaded the trophy to his official website for the first time, of course, the news was actually transmitted back to China at the first time, and even fans who had nothing stayed up late to watch the live broadcast of this draw.
During the period~~~ Li Feng's mobile phone has not stopped, and almost everyone has sent congratulatory text messages, and Li Feng also sent a group back. (To be continued.) )
