294. Unexpected awards
On August 28, 2009, the group draw ceremony for the 2009-2010 UEFA Champions League was officially held at the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monte Carlo, Monaco!
First of all, before the meeting started, UEFA President Platini came on stage and said something trivial, welcoming more teams to join the UEFA Champions League. This also attracted the attention of some head coaches of small and medium-sized teams.
Swearing in a low voice.
Afterwards, Platini announced the official start of the group draw ceremony for the 2009-2010 UEFA Champions League. First, the award for the best goalkeeper in the UEFA Champions League last season was awarded. The finalists for this award include the winning team of the previous UEFA Champions League.
Valdes, the goalkeeper of Barcelona, Edwin van der Sar of Manchester United, the runner-up of the last UEFA Champions League, and Reina, the goalkeeper of Liverpool, the semi-final team of the last UEFA Champions League.
To be honest, in last season's UEFA Champions League, the goalkeeper who performed best was Manchester United's goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. Everyone thought he should win the grand prize. But people knew in their hearts that this guy should not win this.
Prize, who calls Barcelona the champion?
However, the final result surprised everyone. The winner was the Dutch goalkeeper Van der Sar, whom they were optimistic about. He won the best goalkeeper award in the UEFA Champions League last season. Van der Sar himself was also very excited. He did not expect that,
After this guy came on stage, he was so excited that he talked a lot before going down.
The next step is the first round of drawing. This round of drawing is not nervous at all, because it is just to rank the first-tier teams. The first drawn Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich enters Group A.
The two drawn teams, Manchester United, entered Group B, the third drawn team, AC Milan, entered Group C, and the fourth drawn team, Chelsea, entered Group D.
Qiu Ze's Liverpool team was the fifth one to be drawn, and they were drawn into Group E. The sixth one to be drawn was the defending champion Barcelona, who was drawn into Group F. The seventh one was drawn out.
It's Sevilla, they are divided into Group G, and the last one to be drawn is naturally Arsenal, they are divided into Group H.
The seeding teams in the first tier have been sorted, and the next draw will be exciting. Now in the second tier, there are lurking bastards like Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Juventus, and the head coaches of the first-tier teams.
We are all praying that we won't be so unlucky and draw these three damn teams.
However, before the second round of draws, there is another award to be awarded, and that is the award for the best defender in the UEFA Champions League last season. The three candidates for this award are Pique of the last UEFA Champions League champion Barcelona.
Evra of the last UEFA Champions League runner-up Manchester United, Terry of the last UEFA Champions League semi-finalist Chelsea.
Among the three, Terry's performance in the UEFA Champions League last season was the best, so in the end he deservedly won the best defender award. Terry was quite satisfied with this, because he did not expect it
But he will win the prize.
After the award was announced, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely tense, because the second round of draws was about to begin. This can be regarded as the most exciting and exciting moment, because it is precisely because of the superior strength of the teams in this level.
.
The head coaches of the first-tier and second-tier teams sitting below were very nervous at this time. They couldn't help but sit upright. Qiu Ze, who was next to Benitez, was also unusually quiet at this time, with his eyes closed.
Staring closely at the stage.
Because the group draw adopts the principle of avoiding teams under the same Football Association, and the second team in Group A is first drawn in the second round of draws, so the German teams in the second level should avoid it, but in this level
Without a German team, all eight teams should be put into the draw.
Now Bayern Munich's head coach Louis van Gaal is very nervous. In the second tier, there are hard-to-gnaw bones like Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Juventus. He doesn't want to draw these teams at all. The same three teams
The team's head coach thinks so too.
At this time, the second team in Group A emerged. It was one of the three teams that Van Gaal did not want to draw - Juventus. When he saw this draw, Van Gaal and Juventus
Both Tooth's head coaches cursed and lamented their bad luck.
Juventus was determined to get into Sevilla's group, but unfortunately, their luck was so bad, really, very bad. By this time, the head coaches of other first-tier teams were
At this time, the collective breathed a sigh of relief, and the first thunder was discharged.
Next is a tense moment again, because the second team in Group B is to be drawn. The seed team in Group B is Manchester United, because the four teams in the Premier League are all first-tier teams.
So, they have nothing to avoid.
The head coaches of Alex Ferguson, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan also became nervous at this time. They didn’t want to draw opponents, and they were praying in their hearts. The head coaches of other first-tier teams were all praying for Manchester United.
The team drew these two mines.
Soon, the second team in Group B was drawn out. They were CSKA Moscow from Russia. Alex Ferguson breathed a sigh of relief. Manchester United had good luck, very good. This team was in
In the second level, the strength is relatively low, so this lottery is very good.
The next step is to draw the second team in Group C. The seed team in Group C is AC Milan, and the second-tier Inter Milan will naturally avoid it. Therefore, among the remaining five teams, if AC Milan wants to draw
The chance of going to Real Madrid is one in five, which is very small.
Everyone in AC Milan thought that they would not be so unlucky and had to be drawn against Real Madrid. Real Madrid also thought the same, and they did not think they would be so unlucky. However, God made a joke with them, and the third player was drawn.
The team drawn in the second tier is Real Madrid.
Suddenly, the people of AC Milan and Real Madrid were dumbfounded. They were really unlucky. They actually won the lottery. Another mine was discharged, and now only one mine was left. Who will be the last unlucky guy?
?Everyone is guessing,
The next step is to draw the second team in Group D. The seed team in Group D is Chelsea. There is no need to avoid the second-tier teams. Chelsea is likely to draw Inter Milan. Of course, the people in the Liverpool team also hope that the people in Chelsea can help them.
After eliminating this bad news, it is a pity that Chelsea people are very lucky. They were drawn into Porto, and Inter Milan's bad news still remains in the second-tier team.
Now Liverpool's head coach Benitez and the Liverpool fans are nervous. They now have a good chance of winning Inter Milan. Qiu Ze and Benitez are also very nervous.
, Benitez even had a little difficulty breathing.
At this time, the second team in Group E was also drawn out, which was France's Lyon team. Benitez and Qiu Ze relaxed. It was not Inter Milan, so that's fine. Liverpool
The team members have escaped disaster.
The people in Liverpool were relaxed, but the people behind were in even more pain. Now that their chances of winning this lottery were getting higher and higher, their hearts were hanging on.
The next step is to draw the second team in Group F. The seed team in Group F is the defending champion Barcelona. Real Madrid in the second pot was taken away. There is no Spanish team in the second pot. No need.
avoid.
Now the Barcelona team has to choose between Inter Milan, Rangers and AZ Alkmaar. The odds are relatively high. Barcelona’s head coach Guardiola and Inter Milan’s head coach Jose Mourinho are two
People are very nervous.
At this time, the second team in Group F was drawn out - Inter Milan. Guardiola and Jose Mourinho both complained and exclaimed: "Damn it, they didn't expect them."
They will meet directly in the group stage.
Guardiola was so innocent in his heart. He really didn't expect that he would step on this third thunderbolt. He was really unlucky. He hoped that their luck would be better when they were in the third-tier team.
Afterwards, the second team in Group G was drawn, Glasgow Rangers, and the second team in Group H was naturally drawn out, which was AZ Alkmaar of the Netherlands.
Now that the second-tier teams have drawn lots, the next step is to award the award for the best midfielder in last season's UEFA Champions League. The three finalists for this award are Xavi, the midfielder of Barcelona, the last UEFA Champions League champion.
Qiu Ze of Liverpool, the last four semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, and Frank Lampard of Chelsea, the last four semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
Among these three people, the one with the best performance is of course Qiu Ze. This guy can almost defeat Xavi and Lampard with an overwhelming advantage. In everyone's opinion, Qiu Ze definitely deserves to win this award, and
According to the previous selection criteria for best goalkeeper and best defender, Qiu Ze will definitely win.
The reporters at the scene all focused their cameras on Qiu Ze, but the award presenter announced that the winner was actually Barcelona midfielder Xavi, which shocked everyone, and some even exclaimed on the spot.
:"How can this be?"
Even Harvey, who won the award, showed an extremely surprised expression. He did not expect that he would win this award. This was beyond his expectation. However, Harvey finally stepped onto the podium.
But everyone could see that there was no smile on his face.
And in the award speech, Harvey also said that he really did not expect that he would win this award. In his opinion, Qiu Ze should win this award. However, in the end, Harvey still thanked UEFA, and some superficial efforts still needed to be done.
Otherwise, it’s hard to say whether UEFA will give Barcelona and him some slack?
Qiu Ze was also unexpected for this result, but his face did not show it. However, he still felt a little incomprehensible for not winning this award, really. If there were not both the best goalkeeper and the best defender in front of him,
If the selection was based on the criteria of who performs the best, Qiu Ze would not be so difficult to understand.
Could it be that in the eyes of UEFA, his performance in the UEFA Champions League last season was not as good as Xavi's? If UEFA people really think so, then Qiu Ze really wants to ask these guys from UEFA
Do you know football?
