There were many sets of national team teammates of Manchester United players and Real Madrid players who came to the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco. They hugged each other and greeted each other. Fan Kerry and Ronaldo, as the current No. 7 and former No. 7 of Manchester United, put their shoulders on each other indifferently. Enter the venue.

PP Sports purchased the total live broadcast rights for the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League group draw and UEFA awards ceremony in China. Zhan Jun, who quit Leshi Sports this summer, looked at the two people on the broadcast screen and said with a smile:"Cristiano Ronaldo and Fan Kerry The reaction fully demonstrates the principle of friendship first in the game, which... is also a precious sportsmanship!"

UEFA is very particular about the arrangement of seats. Real Madrid won the double championship of La Liga and the Champions League in the 2016-2017 season. , the player positions are arranged in the first row in the center.

Manchester United won all the championships except the Champions League and was placed in the second row. Cristiano Ronaldo and Van Kerry were chatting before the start of the Champions League group draw ceremony. It was not clear whether they were talking about football or beauties.

Just after six o'clock in the afternoon, the host of the 2017-2018 Champions League group draw and awards ceremony walked to the center of the stage, and the sound of the packed Grimaldi Conference Center was reduced to a minimum in a short time.

Fan Kerry's attention was gradually attracted by the UEFA Champions League trophy placed at the front of the stage. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a sunny and handsome smile, and he growled in his heart:"I will decide the new 2017-2018 Champions League champion!"

In a few minutes After the host's introduction, the first award was the UEFA President's Award. This award was established in 1998 to reward legendary players who have made outstanding contributions to European football.

There is no suspense about this award. Roma captain Totti, who announced his retirement at the end of the 2016-2017 season, was elected.

Totti can be called the poster child of modern football. He fully integrated one person and one city into the entire city of Rome.

Van Carey greatly admires this man who has dedicated everything to Roma, but it is a pity that he has not been able to compete with him in his career.

Totti's brief acceptance speech ended, and the next award was for the best goalkeeper in Europe. In the end, Buffon was elected over Champions League champion Navas and Europa League champion De Gea.

At this point, the awards ceremony has come to an end for the time being, and we have entered the seed team grouping phase of the Champions League group draw.

As usual, UEFA competition director George Marchetti explained the avoidance rules of the group draw to the players, guests and fans in front of the TV.

Immediately, Totti, who was elected to the UEFA President's Award, and Shevchenko, the 2017-2018 Champions League final promotion ambassador, served as the lucky draw guests at the Champions League group draw ceremony.

Totti is responsible for drawing out the eight seeded teams in sequence, while Shevchenko is responsible for finding a home for the teams Totti drew out.

The dust settled on the eight seeded teams, and Manchester United was drawn into Group C, followed closely by the European Best Defender Award.

There is actually no suspense about this individual award. Real Madrid captain Ramos beat Van Dijk and Bonucci.

The reason is simple. Van Dijk only transferred to Manchester United in the winter window of the 2016-2017 season. His individual awards based on season production as the selection criteria lack integrity.

The Champions League group draw continues, and the first second-tier team to be drawn is Porto.

This relatively easy team is an opponent that the major league champions hope to encounter.

After Shevchenko's draw, he finally ended up in Group G where Monaco is.

The second team drawn was Atletico Madrid, and the atmosphere in the entire conference center instantly became high. Except for Real Madrid coach Zidane and the players who were unable to be drawn into Group H due to the avoidance rules, the rest of the team remained calm. The head coaches of the seven first-tier teams, including Simeone, all feel varying degrees of nervousness.

With fans around the world watching, Shevchenko unscrewed the UEFA Champions League logo ball with the group number on it and faced the paper towards the camera.

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun exclaimed:"Atletico Madrid was drawn into Group C! In the same group as Manchester United! The third-tier teams also include top teams like Roma and Naples. According to UEFA's past drawing habits, C This group has a high probability of becoming the group of death!"

At the same time, Manchester United head coach Mourinho and Atletico Madrid head coach Simeone both had frowning expressions.

Fan Carey's expression was indifferent. To him, it was the same no matter who he was drawn to.

Just do it!

The draw continues, and there are many groups that have a chance of becoming the group of death. Paris Saint-Germain appears in Group B, in the same group as Bayern Munich, Barcelona is drawn in Group D with Juventus, and Dortmund is in the same group as Real Madrid.

The eight teams in the second tier have their own stars, and the interspersed award is the best midfielder in Europe. The candidate players are Pogba, Modric and Casemiro. In the end, Modric relied on his higher offensive contribution and With the blessing of the Champions League champion, you will get the honor.

What followed was the issue of the ownership of the eight teams in the third tier. The first team to be drawn was Tottenham. According to the same Football Association avoidance rules, in addition to being unable to appear in Group A, Group C and Group F, the other five groups It's possible.

Judging from the lottery results of the seeded teams and the second-tier teams, the most likely groups of death are Group D and Group H.

I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but Shevchenko placed Tottenham in Group H, which means Tottenham are in the same group as Real Madrid and Dortmund.

An absolute team of death!

Tottenham, the strongest third-tier team, was drawn out, leaving Roma.

What makes Manchester United fans depressed is that the team they support has become an unfortunate existence. Roma, the home team drawn by Totti, was drawn into Group C by Shevchenko, which is equivalent to saying that Manchester United, Atletico Madrid and Roma formed a second group of death..

Considering that there is also the rising Leipzig Red Bull in the fourth level, Group C may become a super group of death.

The group draw has reached this stage. According to complex avoidance rules, the remaining teams have very limited groups to choose from. The draw match between Totti and Shevchenko ended in just two minutes.

"According to the process, the personal award that will be held immediately is the best forward in Europe in the 2016-2017 season! Affected by Barcelona's overall poor performance, Messi basically missed this award. Fan Kerry and Cristiano Ronaldo have a high probability of being selected!"

The on-site director's close-up shots showed Fan Carey, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi one after another. PP sports commentator Zhan Jun's voice rose an octave:"Whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Van Carey, it is reasonable to be elected, but for the players who were not elected, It is very cruel. Except for the young Chinese player Fan Kerry, who has no Champions League data, his data in other competitions is the best in Europe.……"

Messi, who appeared on the broadcast screen, knew that he had a low chance of being elected and had no emotional changes. Both Ronaldo and Van Carey looked a little nervous.

As James said, there is no problem for both of them to be elected as the best forwards in Europe. The data is there. The problem is that it will be hugely unfair to the players who are not elected.

This... is the cruelty of competitive sports.

With the guidance of the two hosts, the atmosphere in the Grimaldi Conference Center became a bit solemn. The live broadcast was very interesting, switching between Van Carey and Ronaldo.

Ronaldo fans and Fan Kerry fans sitting in front of the TV felt very anxious, not knowing whether their favorite stars could be elected.

At this moment, the video played on the main screen of the conference center was a highlight of Van Carey's past 2016-2017 season.

PP sports commentator Zhan Jun was ecstatic and shouted with excitement:"You deserve it! 83 goals and 27 assists in 53 games, the best performance in Europe! What is the best striker in Europe! It's the player who was elected in Crushing all forwards in terms of goals scored!"

At the end of the half-minute video highlight, the male host said loudly:"Congratulations to Van Carey! He was elected the best forward in Europe in the 2016-2017 season!"

At the same time, the elected Van Carey grew In one breath, he stood up with a smile, shook hands with his teammates, the head coach and Ronaldo one by one, and finally buttoned up his suit, walked to the center of the stage with a smile on his face.
