592 is unique

At the end of August, Monaco Monte Carlo is the focus of football attention from all over the world, as the group draws for the UEFA Super Cup and UEFA Champions League are held here at this time of year.

However, unlike the past few years, when the Bundesliga, Serie A and the Premier League have all started one after another, La Liga is the latest among the five major European leagues, so during this period of time, Yang Cheng is also busy preparing for the first round of the league.

If it weren't for the beautiful invitation letter sent to him by UEFA, and Johansson also called Yang Cheng through Beckenbauer to invite him, he would not have participated, because he has too many things to do, and it is really not a good thing to meet a team like Villarreal in the first game of the new season.

What's worse is that Barcelona is still in such good shape, which is undoubtedly a headache!

In any case, he still stepped on the time to arrive at the venue, and Beckenbauer, who had made an appointment with him, arrived almost at the same time.

"You old pervert who looks like Sven, but secretly completed your third marriage during the World Cup, you owe me a meal!" As soon as Yang Cheng met, he walked over to greet Beckenbauer with a smile, and secretly laughed and teased him.

After the World Cup, Beckenbauer went on a honeymoon trip, and it seemed that the days were very moist, red and red, and he couldn't stop nodding, "When I get to Spain, please have a big meal!" ”

The whole lottery ceremony also set up a red carpet and other formalities, Yang Cheng and the two were taken by reporters outside, and then walked into the venue, talking and laughing along the way.

"How's the preparation?" Yang Cheng asked with concern, but kept greeting familiar reporters and friends around.

"Almost, I'm going to visit all the member states in the European region, Platini is also preparing for the election campaign now, time is running out!"

The general election will be held at the end of January 07 at the 31st UEFA Congress, but the candidates for the election have been declared at the end of July, and there are currently two candidates, one is Platini, who is fully supported by Blatter, and the other is Beckenbauer, who is fully supported by the European giants, and Johansson.

Since the campaign is being run among UEFA's 52 member states, Beckenbauer is useless if he only has the support of a dozen or so countries in the developed regions of football, he has to win more.

However, Johansson's strong support, Germany's full response, and the almost perfect end of the World Cup, all of which made Beckenbauer very loud, and Yang Cheng himself has been interviewed many times, supporting his own rebellion, thinking that Beckenbauer is more suitable for the UEFA chair than some marionettes.

"If you want to fight, you must win!" Yang Cheng smiled and encouraged, "I have a lot of confidence in you!" ”

"The opponent is very strong!" Beckenbauer smiled wryly, he didn't think this kind of moral support was of much use.

Yang Cheng smiled, "Will it be stronger than Serona?" ”

Beckenbauer was speechless, because Yang Cheng took over the mess of Real Madrid and met the strong Barcelona, the situation was indeed more difficult than him, at least he could get so much support, but Yang Cheng could only rely on himself.

"I'm tired of that beam-jumping clown, let him fuck off!"

"Even if I am elected, he will still be a member of the UEFA Executive Committee, the representative of the French Football Federation, and he will have to have a position!"

"Set up a toilet department and let him be responsible for cleaning the toilets at the headquarters of the football associations of all European member states, I think he should be quite suitable for this position!"

Beckenbauer couldn't help but wonder, "I'll think about it!" "That's a good point.

As soon as I entered the venue, some familiar people immediately came over to greet them, including Inter Milan's Moratti and the players, as well as some people from Liverpool, who kept saying hello along the way.

It wasn't until Yang Cheng sat down in the first row under the guidance of the staff that he suddenly found that Ferguson was sitting next to him, and Mourinho was behind him.

"Ha, José, you've made progress!" Yang Cheng teased with a smile.

Mourinho nodded, "That's right, I'm going to kick you off soon!" ”…,

"It's so angry!" Yang Cheng shrugged helplessly, as if to say, if you have the ability, come here.

Ferguson on the side shook his head helplessly, "After you left, the Premier League felt much more boring, and I heard his voice all day long, and I was so bored!" Speaking of him, Ferguson pointed to Mourinho behind him.

"You can plug your ears and no one tells you to listen!" The Portuguese replied.

'You see, he's so angry because Chelsea are now third in the league!' Ferguson laughed.

Chelsea have had a poor start to the season, with three Premier League games and a surprise defeat to Middlesbrough after three rounds of Premier League fixtures, leaving them behind Liverpool at the top of the table and Manchester United in second place, both of which have won three in a row.

Yang Cheng left Dalglish and Ian = Rush with a luxurious lineup, which made Dalglish's start amazing!

"You're just shit lucky, just ahead for the time being, old man!" Mourinho said coldly from behind.

Ferguson couldn't help nodding, "I'll talk about it when you overtake!" ”

Yang Cheng shook his head in the Premier League, it is indeed lively and competitive in the Premier League, but the competition in La Liga this season is also very strong, although Real Madrid and Barcelona are still the two giants of the Spanish Super League, but Atletico Madrid, Valencia, Villarreal, Sevilla and Deportivo and many other teams are very strong.

It's just that the coaches of La Liga are different from the coaches of the Premier League, and the coaches of La Liga seem to be more suave, a bit like Wenger, and they rarely fight those verbal wars with each other, but the Premier League will be more lively in this regard.

While Yang Cheng was chatting with Ferguson, Mourinho and others, UEFA Secretary General Olsen came out of the background.

Due to Johnsson's physical discomfort, Olsen presided over the overall situation in the draw and award ceremony this time, so as soon as he came out, everyone knew that it was going to begin.

For the best in Europe, in fact, the outside world has already been rumored, it can be said that there is not much controversy, because since the UEFA Champions League restructuring, Liverpool has successfully defended the title, in the case of one less person, 31 defeated Barcelona, on this final, Barcelona is difficult to compete with Liverpool.

The final facts confirm this.

The best goalkeeper went to Reina, and the Spaniard was really solid last season, not losing to Petr Cech and Inter Milan's Gianluigi Buffon, but the key was his performances at several key moments to help Liverpool defuse the crisis.

The best defender was given to Carragher, but Yang Cheng felt that Vidic should be more suitable, but Carragher's high attendance, high photogenic rate, and popular fans made Carragher elected as the best defender, of course, England's central defender's performance was indeed excellent, and the award was indisputable.

It was a bit of a surprise that the best midfielder went to Michael Carrick, but it's understandable when you think about Gerrard being the favourite to win the best midfielder over Xavi.

The best striker was Ronaldinho, and Drogba's style of play and the early red card in the final made the Ivorians miss out on a lot of impression points, and Ronaldinho was really good, just like magic.

It is worth mentioning that not long ago, UEFA gave a fine to referee Hauge and three other assistant referees for the penalty in the Champions League final last season, of which Hauge may not expect to officiate in the Champions League again in the future, and the reason given for the penalty is that Hauge committed irreparable mistakes in the crucial final.

At the same time, Olsen also took over the UEFA disciplinary committee, as Platini was going to have to devote himself to the UEFA presidential election, and he had to relinquish power before the election.

The best player of the year was indisputably won by Steven Gerrard, the England midfielder who is also the favourite to win the World Footballer of the Year.

But when it comes to Cannavaro, who led Italy to the World Cup, it's hard to say who has the better chance of winning the award, but Gerrard is already the undisputed midfield superstar in today's football, and the award is nothing more than a reward for him, and not winning the award will not erase his status in the hearts of the fans.

"In the past few seasons, new players have emerged frequently in the European Football League, and there are many young but very powerful managers who are rising and maturing rapidly, among them, the most amazing is the current manager of Real Madrid, Mr. Yang Cheng!" ”

Olsen was on stage, smiling and pointing at Yang Cheng in the front row, who seemed to know that the camera would be aimed at him, so he maintained a modest smile, and his image was almost full marks.

"In the past 10 years, he has brought some glorious deeds to our European football, from Chemnitz, leading the team to relegation, and then becoming famous in one fell swoop, after switching to Kaiserslautern, he won the Cup Winners' Cup with his position in the Bundesliga, and led Kaiserslautern to stage a promotion miracle in the second season, and completed the unprecedented treble in the history of the Bundesliga in the third season!"

"After conquering the Bundesliga, Yang Cheng descended to Milan City, leading the sinking Inter Milan to win the Serie A championship that season, he won 3 league championships and 2 Champions League titles in his four years in Serie A, especially in the last season, he led Inter Milan to create a Nerazzurri dynasty and created the first treble hegemony in the history of Serie A."

"In the summer of 203, the news of Yang Cheng's switch to Liverpool became the most shocking news, and in the three years of the Premier League, he won 2 Premier League titles, but what is even more surprising is his team's performance in the Champions League, Istanbul myth, no matter how young he is, will definitely be talked about by all the fans, and he also led Liverpool to become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League after the restructuring."

"The Champions League trophy in 0 years and 5 years has undoubtedly made the 34-year-old Chinese coach the most influential manager in the world today, and to congratulate him on his outstanding achievements over the years, UEFA has specially created a unique championship trophy for him......"

As Olsen spoke, a female staff member slowly came out of the curtain, holding a statue in her hand that looked exquisite, the whole silhouette looked like a St. Burled Cup, but smaller and more compact, looking more like an ornament.

After Olsen sent out an invitation, Yang Cheng came to the stage under the congratulations of Ferguson and others

When he received this heavy and exquisite version of the St. Burred Cup from Olsen, he felt the weight, the value of this trophy, itself is made of sterling silver, and the workmanship is so exquisite, it must be from the hand of a famous teacher, the value does not need to be said, and this is the first time in the history of UEFA to award a manager a St. Bolled Cup commemorative trophy, this significance is even higher.

The base of the trophy is made of crystal clear, which is engraved with the time of Yang Cheng's past five Champions League wins and the team he has led, which means that this trophy is a great affirmation of Yang Cheng's coaching career in the past few years.

"Thank you UEFA and thank you to all the guys who have played with me!" Yang Cheng walked to the microphone with a sincere face.

'I won't be satisfied with that, I know it's a record for a manager to win five Champions Leagues, but I think I should keep working hard and this trophy is more encouraging than positive for me!'

In the end, Yang Cheng held up this exquisite version of the St. Paulette Cup, hugged Olsen in the cheers and applause of the audience, and walked side by side to the backstage, and the much-anticipated lottery ceremony was officially kicked off after a performance.

The fun thing about football is that every season is a fresh start!

Lost last season, it's okay, come back this season and fight again; Just because you won last season doesn't mean you can continue to shine this season, because your opponents are constantly getting stronger

Yang Cheng's past glory has nothing to do with his management of Real Madrid this season, as many media people said, at best, it is just to make Real Madrid management and fans trust him more, a manager can indeed help the team improve combat effectiveness through skills and tactics, but it is definitely not exaggerated to the point of one person topping a team.

In a modern football system that is increasingly team-oriented, even the best superstars can't do that!

Although Real Madrid has performed poorly in Europe and the league in the last three seasons, and the Champions League has defended the round of 16 in a row, with the points from previous years, Real Madrid is still firmly in the first seed, tied with giants such as Liverpool, Barcelona, AC Milan and Inter Milan. …,

But long before the season, there were already many media jokes, saying that many of the teams in the second pot were Real Madrid's bitter masters, such as Bayern Munich, who eliminated Real Madrid from the Champions League last season, such as Yang Cheng's rival Chelsea, and Ligue 1's Banba Lyon.

Judging from the comprehensive strength of Real Madrid this season, Bayern and Chelsea, and even Lyon, are undoubtedly at a disadvantage, not to mention the first two teams, Lyon was also in the same group as Real Madrid last season, and they gave Real Madrid a memorable night at home 30.

All along, the Champions League draw has adhered to one principle, which is a gimmick.

Therefore, Real Madrid drew Lyon, a team that brought nightmares, and now continues to fight in the group stage, the other two teams are Bucharest Star and Dynamo Kiev, and there is no big problem in qualifying, but the key is to see who is the top of the group.

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea meet Barcelona again in a fateful clash that has been moved from the knockout rounds to the group stage, while Inter Milan continue their encounter with Portugal, Valencia meets Roma again and Manchester United meet Celtic in an English derby.

Judging from the draw situation of the group, the big teams are not much of a problem to qualify, there is no situation in the group of death, the only question is who will qualify first in the group, because the first place in the group means that they will meet weaker opponents in the knockout round.

Don't underestimate this, because in the past two seasons, one of the important reasons why Real Madrid has lost the round of 16 in a row is that they did not perform well in the group stage, only finishing second in the group, and as a result, they met a strong opponent in the round of 16 and were directly eliminated.

Therefore, the first place in the group is not only a matter of position, but also a matter of the situation of the knockout stage.

After the lottery ceremony, Yang Cheng was blocked by a group of reporters when he walked out of the venue, and everyone was concerned about his opinion on the lottery results.

Yang Cheng shook his head with a smile, "To be honest, after the draw results came out, I think it should be our opponent who feels the headache, so you should ask Leon if you are worried about such a question, instead of asking me." ”

'I never care who our opponents are, because in my opinion, we only have one goal to go into the Champions League, so no matter what opponent we face, we have only one attitude and that is to beat him, so it doesn't matter if it's Lyon or any other team.

"Doesn't a lot of people say, 'I'm good at playing cup.' Then I think that after the draw results come out, the biggest headache should be Lyon, our opponents, because they have to guard us at all times

"Can I please predict the situation of the group?" Yang Cheng nodded, "I think the first in the group will definitely be our Real Madrid, and Lyon will get the second place in the group, as for the rest, I won't say more!" ”

However, it is obvious that although Yang Cheng joined, although Real Madrid's performance in the warm-up matches is getting better and better, several major European gambling companies are not optimistic about Real Madrid.

Among them, William Hill's odds for Real Madrid to win the championship rank first among European giants, far behind Liverpool, Barcelona, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Chelsea and other teams that occupy the first place, which is undoubtedly a wake-up call for everyone.

The reason why Real Madrid can become the most watched team in the summer is not only because he is Real Madrid, but also because of Yang Cheng and a series of reinforcements, but in the final analysis, Real Madrid is just a team that has just been reorganized, and after losing Zidane, Figo, Robert = Carlos and other superstars, no one knows how much Real Madrid's combat effectiveness can recover.

At least purely from the point of view of fame, Villa, David = Silva, Mascherano and others are not comparable to superstars such as Zidane, and the promotion of some youth players is undoubtedly worrying.

On the other hand, Real Madrid's rival Barcelona, several reinforcements this season are very targeted, especially the addition of Gudjohnsen, which has increased the variables in the frontcourt, and the arrival of French left-back Abidal has strengthened Barcelona's left side, making the Dream II team more balanced as a whole.

"There is no doubt that this season's La Liga title is still in Barcelona's bag!" Many media outlets have even made such judgments directly.

And the first round of the league undoubtedly confirms this! ）
