I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 298: Champions League draw and 3-game winning streak

In the early morning of August 25, Beijing time, the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League group stage draw and UEFA awards ceremony will be held at the Grimaldi Conference Center in Monaco.

Before the draw, UEFA President Ceferin first presented the UEFA Presidential Award to the Roman Wolf King Totti who announced his retirement at the end of last season. Totti also became the third Italian player to win this award after Gianni Rivera and Paulo Maldini.

In his speech, Totti said: "I am honored to receive this award. My dream is to fight in the uniform of only one team throughout the season. I did it."

Subsequently, UEFA began to award the best awards of last season. This year is different from previous years. In addition to the best player award, the best awards in other positions on the field will also be awarded.

The former Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea, who has just transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid, received the 2016-2017 Champions League best goalkeeper award from Shevchenko. De Gea had a record of 6 zero sheets in the Champions League last season. And to help Manchester United become the first successful defending team after the Champions League reform, it is reasonable to accept this award.

When accepting the award, De Gea said: "I am proud to receive this award. If there is a secret to the award, I think it is that I have been hungry for honor. This is the only way I know how to perform at the top level. ."

………………

Manchester United, who successfully defended the season and won the Champions League for the fifth time in team history, won the Champions League's best defender, midfielder and striker awards. Van Dijk, De Bruyne and Rooney were elected in order.

In fact, including the transfer De Gea, the successfully defending Manchester United won all UEFA's best awards, because De Gea won because of his performance at Manchester United, not the performance of his new club Real Madrid.

Van Dijk said in an interview after receiving the award: "We want to continue to break records with Manchester United, we also want to continue to win the championship, we want to win the Champions League for the third consecutive season."

De Bruyne said: "The night in Cardiff was really amazing. We have extra motivation because we may become the first team to win the Champions League. We did it."

Rooney, who accepted the award, said: "I play for an amazing team-Manchester United. I like scoring goals and winning trophies. Whether it is a team or an individual, I feel very happy now."

When they stepped down, Ronaldo and Messi took the initiative to shake hands with Rooney to congratulate them. Rooney last season's performance is indeed impeccable. Not only did he score 28 goals in the Premier League and defend the Premier League Golden Boot, he also scored 15 goals in the Champions League, defeating Ronaldo and Messi who scored 12 goals, and defended his title. Champions League golden boots. Coupled with the Premier League, the Champions League and the League Cup won by Manchester United, as well as the Community Shield and the European Super Cup won before the start of the new season, Rooney's defense of the 2017 European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer has no much suspense. Ronaldo and Messi also expressed their conviction.

After that, Rooney won the UEFA Men's Player of the Year award, and the UEFA Women's Player of the Year award was the Dutch midfielder Martens who just joined Barcelona.

………………

After UEFA's awards ceremony, the UEFA Champions League group stage draw for the new season immediately followed.

According to UEFA’s lottery rules, last season’s Champions League champions and the champions of the top seven UEFA leagues ranked as seed teams, but because the Premier League champions and the Champions League champions are both Manchester United, the vacant seed seat was postponed to The eighth-ranked league champion in UEFA points is the champion of the Ukrainian Premier League.

Since then, the eight seeded teams are the Champions League champion and Premier League champion Manchester United, La Liga champion Real Madrid, Serie A champion Juventus, Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich, French champion Monaco, Russian Premier League champion Sparta Moscow, and Portuguese Super League champion Benfica. , Uzbek Super League champion Shakhtar Donetsk.

Compared to the seeded teams that have mixed into several non-big five league teams, the second-tier teams look even more star-studded. Because the second-tier teams are ranked according to UEFA points, here are the top UEFA points of Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Dortmund, Manchester City, Sevilla. , Only the Portuguese super giants Porto does not belong to the five major leagues.

There are also strong teams in the third tier. The Premier League’s Liverpool, Tottenham, Serie A’s Rome and Naples are all strong. The other four teams are the Swiss Super League’s Basle Basel, the Belgian giants Anderlecht, Turkish giants Besiktas and Greek giants Olympiacos.

The eight teams in the fourth tier are the Russian Super League giants CSKA Moscow, the Soviet Super League giants Celtics, Portugal's third-pole Portuguese sports, the Eredivisie strong team Feyenoord, Bundesliga upstart Leipzig, and three from the minor leagues. The teams Karabac (Azerbaijan), Maribor (Slovenia) and Atletico Greek (Cyprus).

………………

The top 32 of the Champions League has already been in place, and today it is time to figure out who is with whom.

When determining the group of the first team, Manchester United fell into the third group C, and in the subsequent draw, the second-tier La Liga hegemony Atletico Madrid (Real Madrid and Barcelona do not belong to La Liga, that is the Spanish Super League The two heroes, laughing and crying), Serie A powerhouse Roma in third gear, and Karabakh of Azerbaijan were drawn into this group respectively.

Seeing this result, Ye Su's face didn't look pretty. Because in terms of the grouping situation, his Manchester United really fell into the dead group.

With three opponents, Atletico Madrid’s performance in the European arena in recent years is very eye-catching. UEFA once surpassed Manchester United in their points and became the fourth pole after Real Madrid. The strength of the Roma team is also very strong, although Manchester United has played against Roma. The record is very good, but it is obviously not a good result to face such a strong team in the group stage. As for Azerbaijan’s Karabakh, although the strength looks very weak and is a real team, there is no good team that can break into the Champions League. What's more, Manchester and Azerbaijan's Baku have a distance of more than 4,000 kilometers. Traveling and Azerbaijan's climate will become the natural enemy of the team in Baku.

Compared to Manchester United, the other four teams participating in the Champions League, with the exception of Tottenham, have significantly better signings than Manchester United.

The top team in Group A, only the Blue Chelsea who returned to the Champions League, their strongest opponent in the same group is Portugal's Benfica.

The Premier League team Liverpool entered Group E as the third team, but the seed team in this group was Russia’s Sparta Moscow. The second stage was only Sevilla, who was good at playing the Europa League, and failed to create too much. The big thing.

The strongest team in Group F is Manchester City in the Premier League, and their biggest opponent is Naples from Serie A.

There are also many strong teams in the final H group, with Real Madrid and Dortmund meeting again, as well as Tottenham Hotspur from the Premier League.

Of course, although the results of the grouping were not ideal, it did not put Ye Su under too much pressure. Because the group stage of the UEFA Champions League can only be regarded as a warm-up for a real top giant like Manchester United, the future knockout matches will be a top-level matchup where real gold is not afraid of fire.

………………

Returning to Manchester from Monaco, Ye Su and Manchester United are now preparing for the next game.

This is the last Premier League game before the first international match of the new season. Manchester United's opponent is the Blue Foxes Leicester City.

At Old Trafford, Leicester City looked very low-key. They stick to the game, making it difficult for Manchester United to open the situation.

Ye Su sat on the coach's bench. He was observing the situation in the field. At this time, it was the 52nd minute of the game. The score on the field was still 0:0.

This is Manchester United's corner kick opportunity.

Left-back Luke Shaw stood at the corner of the kick. He raised his arm to signal that he was about to kick-off.

Leicester City's goal is crowded, and they need to be extra prepared for Manchester United to take advantage of set kicks to score when they can't open the situation in sports.

Manchester United captain Rooney also ran into the penalty area of ​​Leicester City. He was immediately surrounded by two players defending. Lu Xiaopang, who is not tall, has amazing bouncing ability and often has good head shots.

Manchester United's center Harry Kane and two tall defenders Van Dijk and Maguire are also competing for positions with their opponents' defenders. The two sides are pulling and pulling, and they are in chaos.

The referee's whistle sounded and Luke Shaw drove the football into the penalty area.

Rooney took off at the front point, and the two defending players also took off. None of the three reached the football, and the football flew through the air.

Maguire headed for the goal in the middle. He slightly touched the football and changed the flight path of the football. Leicester City goalkeeper Schmeichel subconsciously threw himself. The football was not shot out of the danger zone, the penalty zone. There was immediate chaos inside.

You can only see offensive players and defensive players entangled, both want to play.

Ye Su's eyes widened, and then he saw the jitter of the net. He raised his arm and saw Harry Kane who also raised his arm and ran out.

The England center roared ~www.readwn.com~ and rushed to the corner flag. Behind him is the Manchester United player who is equally excited.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!" Lineker's voice rang out, "Harry Kane! He grabbed some points in front of the goal! 1:0! Manchester United finally broke the deadlock on the field and led Leicester City at home!"

Ye Su shook his fist vigorously and smashed it into the air vigorously.

He finally waited for the goal. In this difficult game, at this point in time, this is a goal of great value.

He turned to look and saw the coaching bench of the visiting team, Leicester City old coach Craig Shakespeare covering his face with painful hands.

The assistant of the tinker Ranieri took over the fired Ranieri midway last season and became the head coach of Leicester City. Although he had a performance for a while, Leicester City fell into trouble soon. Trough.

Presumably, this old man is not having a good time with Blue Fox now!
