Chapter 333 The youngest European Golden Globe winner!

The sixth round group stage of the UEFA Champions League in the 2016-2017 season attracted a lot of attention, including the focus from Dragon Kingdom.

It's a pity that in order to prepare for the important game in December, Wenger hid many main players while locking the first place in the group.

Cavani, Martin, Sanchez, Xhaka, Van Dijk and other players are all staying in London to prepare for the home game against Stoke City before the Club World Cup.

Dragon Stadium.

Although many of Arsenal's main players did not go, they also showed good competitive form as a guest.

Giroud, who became a substitute with the arrival of Cavani this season, equalized twice when Arsenal fell behind twice, helping Arsenal draw 2:2 with Porto as a guest.

Dragon State player Wei Shaohao, who plays for Porto, performed well, contributed an assist, and also hit the door frame with an inward shot. Otherwise, the home team would have likely defeated the defending champion who visited the Dragon Stadium.

同组进行的另外一场比赛哥本哈根做客2：0击败布鲁日，但是波尔图主场战平阿森纳拿到一分，6战2胜3平1负积9分排名第2，比2胜2平2负积8分的哥本哈根多1分。

At the end of the Champions League match day on Wednesday, all six rounds of the 2016-2017 Champions League group stage ended, and the dust settled on the 16 teams that advanced to the knockout rounds.

The biggest winner is La Liga, with all four teams Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Sevilla advancing.

Except for Tottenham, the four teams representing the Premier League were eliminated. Arsenal, Leicester City and Manchester City all advanced to the top 16.

The Bundesliga, like the Premier League, occupies three seats, namely Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen.

Serie A, Ligue [-] and the Portuguese Super League have two seats each, Napoli, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco, Benfica and Porto.

In other words, the teams that advance to the Champions League knockout rounds this season are swept by the five major leagues and the Portuguese Super League, and all other league teams are wiped out.

Last season’s Champions League knockout rounds included Eredivisie, Russian Super League, Uzbekistan Super League and Belgian League teams. This season’s Champions League knockout rounds were all eliminated. From the perspective of qualifying, the gap between Europe’s top leagues and minor league teams is widening.

It is precisely because of this that this season's Champions League 1/8 finals will become particularly lively.

Especially if Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern and Real Madrid do not win the first place in the group, there will be a high probability of multiple strong dialogues in the draw ceremony, and even the Champions League final staged in advance.

Put aside the avoidance rules of the 1/8 finals.

Take the defending champion Arsenal as an example. According to UEFA's lottery rules, there is a high probability that Bayern and Real Madrid will be drawn, followed by Paris Saint-Germain.

Other potential strong dialogues include Bayern VS Barcelona, ​​Manchester City VS Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid VS Juventus, Manchester City VS Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain VS Dortmund...

周四晚上的欧联杯第六轮小组赛结束，全部12个小组赛决出晋级的24支球队，加上八个欧冠小组的No.3，共计32支球队，将在欧洲当地时间周五中午率先展开的欧冠1/8决赛抽签仪式之后进行欧联杯1/16决赛抽签。

……

Friday at 12 noon local time in Europe.

UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Influenced by Secretary-General Infantino's appointment as FIFA President, the Champions League 1/8 finals draw ceremony was hosted by Pinto, the director of UEFA's media division.

The drawing process is still in charge of the competition department director Marchetti, and the Dutch star Ruud Gullit serves as the draw guest.

The first team to be drawn out was Manchester City from the Premier League.

The draw for the Champions League 1/8 finals is an avoidance rule for teams that share the same group stage and belong to the same football association. It also means that Arsenal, Leicester City in the Premier League and Barcelona in the same group as Manchester City will not be opponents.

Then potential opponents in the 1/8 finals will be between Dortmund, Naples, Monaco, Atletico Madrid and Juventus.

The team drawn out by Gullit is...Monaco.

Sports director Begiristain, who attended the draw on behalf of Manchester City, smiled slightly and was obviously very satisfied with the draw.

In his opinion, this is the ideal opponent.

Manchester City coach Guardiola was in a good mood watching the live broadcast of the draw, as if he saw hope of advancing to the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League.

Real Madrid is the second team to be drawn out of the group.

The team has won ten Champions League championships in its history and is known as the strongest second team in the Champions League this season.

The forward BBC combination is frightening, the midfield combination of Modric, Toni Kroos and Casemiro is very dominant, and the defense and goalkeeper are extremely capable.

In addition to Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, and Dortmund who will not be paired with Real Madrid, the officials attending the other four first-team teams Leicester City, Naples, Arsenal, and Juventus are feeling a lot of pressure.

I don’t know if it was intentional, but the on-site director specially gave a close-up shot of Arsenal CEO Ivan Gazidis.

His expression became visibly heavy.

UEFA has always liked to draw last season's champions and runners-up together in advance to attract enough attention.

Everyone's focus is on the draw guest Gullit.

In the end, Napoli, the first team in Group B, became the 'unfortunate' team.

The Naples boss De Lao who was present twitched his lips slightly, obviously dissatisfied with the draw.

In his opinion, the ideal draw opponents are Benfica or Porto.

The draw ceremony for the Champions League 1/8 finals continues, and the third team second in the group drawn by Gullit is Benfica.

Representatives of the remaining six first-place teams in the group became excited.

This... is the second team in the group that is best to deal with!

Dortmund became the lucky one and successfully matched with Benfica.

By this time, the atmosphere at the draw was becoming increasingly tense.

Especially when Gullit drew Bayern, the tense atmosphere made the on-site officials frown.

Bayern has always been a tough nut to crack!

The footage of the live broadcast was very meaningful, showing Arsenal CEO Ivan Gazidis and Barcelona President Bartomeu respectively.

The remaining five first-place teams in the group will not meet each other except Atletico Madrid, which was previously in the same group due to evasion of rules. Arsenal is the team that has faced Bayern the most in the Champions League knockout rounds among the four first-place teams in the group.

上赛季欧冠1/4决赛、2013-2014赛季欧冠1/8决赛、2012-2013赛季欧冠1/8决赛、2009-2010赛季欧冠1/4决赛。

Barcelona and Bayern have some fighting grievances.

In the 2012-2013 Champions League semi-finals, Bayern humiliated Barcelona with a total score of 7:0.

2008-2009赛季欧冠1/4决赛和2014-2015赛季欧冠半决赛，巴塞罗那分别淘汰拜仁。

The Arsenal players preparing for the league happened to be dining in the first-team player restaurant at the Colney training base. Many players and members of the coaching staff were a little nervous, and only a few players were looking forward to it.

"Arsenal!"

Gullit unscrewed the ball with the Champions League five-star logo and faced the camera with the folded card with the team's name on it.

Arsenal CEO Ivan Gazidis and Bayern President Hoeness both smiled silently.

We can only accept what is a done deal.

Compared to Arsenal not wanting to meet Bayern, Bayern doesn't want to meet Arsenal even more.

The Arsenal players watching the draw in front of the TV were very depressed.

If we persist, the opponents drawn will come from Leverkusen, Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla.

Of course, the most depressed people are Bayern fans.

If I had been drawn against Arsenal in the past, I would have laughed a lot.

With Martin joining Arsenal, this team that was once known as Bayern's walk-off team in the Champions League knockout rounds has become one of the most difficult teams in world football.

Last season’s two-leg Champions League quarter-finals are still fresh in my mind.

Four pairs of 1/8 finals opponents have been drawn, and the draws for the remaining four groups will be completed soon.

The most eye-catching one is Paris Saint-Germain VS Barcelona, ​​followed by Sevilla VS Leicester City.

The meeting between these two teams attracted attention not because of their overall strength, but because they were rookies pecking each other.

The remaining two groups of 1/8 final draws are Porto VS Juventus and Bayer Leverkusen VS Atletico Madrid.

2016-2017赛季欧冠1/8决赛抽签结束，紧随而至的是2016-2017赛季欧联杯1/16决赛抽签。

However, the Europa League has never received as much attention as the Champions League, and the number of fans who choose to continue watching has dropped sharply.

※※※※※

The draw ceremony for the 2016/2017 finals of the UEFA Champions League in the 1-8 season has ended. The focus of media from various countries is on the dialogue between the strong and the respective teams.

There are only two true strong dialogues.

Bayern VS Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain VS Barcelona.

Of course, as the Champions League reaches the knockout stage, the strength of each team is actually not very different. Who can advance to the next round depends on the two rounds of home and away games.

Among them, Bayern VS Arsenal's Champions League 1/8 finals attracted the most attention.

The defending Bundesliga champions VS the defending Premier League champions!

From a championship level, the confrontation between the two teams is also a direct confrontation between the two leagues' peak strength.

The British media naturally supports Arsenal, and the German media is optimistic about Bayern.In this process, discomfort will inevitably occur.

However, the focus of the two teams remains unchanged and they are still focused on the league opponents they will face next.

The Champions League 1/8 finals are in February next year, and there are still nearly two months left. There is no need to pay too much attention in advance.

2016-2017赛季英超第15轮联赛开始前，阿森纳公布出征2016年世俱杯的23人大名单。

Goalkeepers: Cech, Ospina, Damian Martinez
Defenders: Gibbs, Monreal, Koscielny, Van Dijk, Gabriel, Holding, Bellerin
Midfielder: Martin, Kante, Ramsey, Xhaka, Coquelin, Elneny, Oxlade-Chamberlain
Forwards: Sanchez, Cavani, Giroud, Welbeck, Gnabry, Walcott

……

With the announcement of the roster, Arsenal fans have begun to look forward to the seven-time champion in 2016.

In their view, no team participating in the Club World Cup can pose a threat to Arsenal, which was undefeated in 2016.

At 9 pm on the 15th, Arsenal took the lead in facing the challenge of their opponent Stoke City in the [-]th round of the Premier League.

This league game is also Arsenal's last game before the Club World Cup.

After a day of rest, the team took a flight to Yokohama the next morning to prepare for the Club World Cup semi-finals.

The opponent is the winner between AFC Champions League champions Jeonbuk Hyundai and CONCACAF and Caribbean Champions League champions Mexico Pumas.

On the day of the game, the Emirates Stadium was packed.

"aoaoaooaoooooo——"

Arsenal fans gave their most fervent cheers to the soldiers who were about to compete in the Club World Cup, and even specially put together a huge Tifo show in the die-hard stands to cheer for the whole team.

[Arsenal is invincible!Unprecedented seven crowns! ! 】

The Arsenal players at the Emirates Stadium showed great form amid the huge cheers from their own fans, scoring four goals in the first half alone.

At the end of the game, despite obviously losing strength, they defeated the visiting Stoke City with a disparity of 6:0.

Martin contributed one shot and two passes.

The focus of the 2016th round of the Premier League in the 2017-15 season is undoubtedly Manchester United's home game against Tottenham.

After 10 minutes of fierce fighting, Manchester United won the game 1:0 with Mkhitaryan's goal.

With Liverpool drawing 2:2 with West Ham United, all 10 league games in this round ended.

Arsenal has 14 wins, 1 draw and 43 points, ranking first in the league.

Scored an astonishing 51 goals and conceded only 10 goals.

It is the team with the most goals in the five major European leagues during the same period, comparable to Super Real Madrid in the 2011-2012 season.

The number of goals conceded is only more than Paris Saint-Germain's 8 and Bayern's 9, which conceded the least goals in the same period.

Chelsea ranks second with 12 points with 3 wins and 36 losses.

利物浦9胜4平2负积31分排名第3。

曼城9胜3平3负积30分排名第4。

Tottenham and Manchester United rank 27th and 24th with 5 points and 6 points respectively.

The scorer list and assist list are both occupied by Martin.

23 goal and 17 assists.

He is so far ahead that the second-ranked player on the list can only look at Ding and sigh.

After finishing the league, the Arsenal team took a day off in London and prepared to take a flight to Yokohama on the morning of the 12th the next day.

The focus of European mainstream media soon came to Martin.

To be precise, it is to pay attention to whether Martin will win the 2016 European Ballon d'Or.

According to "France Football" magazine's previous announcement of the date of the selected players, Arsenal is preparing for the Club World Cup in Yokohama.

By then, captain Martin will not be in Europe and will not be able to receive the European Ballon d'Or on the day when the award is announced.

This situation also attracted attention from the Dragon Kingdom.

If this is the case, there is a high probability that Martin will lose to Ronaldo and Messi.

On the other hand, the person involved, Martin, was very calm.

As early as the night after the Stoke City League ended, he received a call from his agent Mendes, saying that "France Football" editor-in-chief Gérard Aignes would secretly arrive in London on the afternoon of the 11th to film a scene. group video.

The words have reached this point. Although it is not stated clearly, what does Martin already know mean?
So, he secretly traveled in the afternoon when the team was resting to prepare for the Club World Cup and came to the five-star Bulgari Hotel where Gérard Aignes, editor-in-chief of "France Football", was staying.

In order to keep it secret, they put on a complicated disguise just like meeting with a spy.

In the hotel's presidential suite, Martin, accompanied by Mendes, greeted Gérard Aignes, editor-in-chief of "France Football", and shook hands with each other.

"Congratulations, the youngest European Ballon d'Or winner!"

Gérard Aignes, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, went straight to the question and pointed to the background wallpaper of the Golden Globe Awards hanging in the living room: "Wait a moment, we will record the video here."

Martin turned his head to look, feeling a little excited.

This... is the background wall prepared for recording the Golden Globe Awards video.

Possessing the characteristic [calm and composed], one’s mood becomes stable quickly.

Gérard Aignes looked at Martin deeply, feeling a little surprised.

The 20-year-old is as calm as a weather-beaten 50-year-old middle-aged man.

It's no wonder that he can show stronger abilities than Messi and Ronaldo at this age.

Not long after, Gérard Aignes handed the golden football trophy to Martin: "Martin, this is to reward your super performance in world football in 2016!"

Martin smiled and took the Ballon d'Or trophy in front of the camera, and then took a photo with Gérard Aignes smiling.

Immediately, he expressed his regret for being selected for the European Golden Globe Award and his regret for not being able to go to the scene to receive the award.

The last part is the interview.

As for the content of the interview, it is nothing more than the special feeling of being elected as the youngest European Ballon d'Or, who needs to be thanked, and what is the outlook for the new 2017.

Facing the camera, Martin pondered for a moment, then raised his iconic ruffian smile: "It's not a special feeling. To put it bluntly, it's the rewards of hard work... I would like to thank my parents, coaches, teammates and fans for their support behind the scenes." Silently support... I hope to continue my good competitive form in 2017. This time next year... I will defend my title!"

The interview lasted about 10 minutes. Martin had an awkward chat with the editor-in-chief of "France Football" magazine for a while, and then left the Bulgari Hotel holding the sealed box containing the golden football trophy.

But instead of going home, he went to the Tony teacher he was most familiar with to get a haircut. At the same time, he dyed a little gold on the top of his head according to the hairstyle, symbolizing winning the first European Golden Globe Award in his career.

At the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo, who has not yet received a call from Gérard Aignes, editor-in-chief of "France Football", has already guessed that he will miss the European Golden Globe Award...

According to past practice, the selected players are notified two days in advance at the latest to go to the Paris headquarters of "France Football" magazine to receive the trophy that symbolizes the European Ballon d'Or.

"Hey~ I still lost after all."

Ronaldo couldn't help but sigh.

……

When Martin returned home, he specifically entered the system and came directly to the achievement page.

The result was exactly as he thought. If he wanted to get the achievement reward, he had to officially announce the final result to the outside world.

According to the time for the selected players of the European Ballon d'Or announced in advance by "France Football" magazine, there are still two days left.

That night, Martin, who was in a high mood, took a selfie with the latest hairstyle that was comparable to that of the reader's father. He simply edited a few sentences and posted it on his personal authentication account on major social platforms.

[New hairstyle, new color, new mood, still as handsome as ever, right? 】

As one of the most eye-catching players in today's world football, the number of fans on various social accounts exceeds nearly [-] million. As long as a message is posted, even if it is deleted in seconds, fans will take screenshots.

Many fans watched Martin, who had never dyed his hair before, dye his hair before going to the Club World Cup, and it was still blonde. It was easy to think of the day when the European Ballon d'Or winner would be announced soon.

Could it be...that he hinted in advance that he would be selected for the European Ballon d'Or?

However, some fans believe that Martin is losing his character. After all, "France Football" magazine has not yet announced the European Ballon d'Or winner by dyeing his hair to 'hint' that there is a high probability that he will be slapped in the face.

Facing the fans' comments, Martin smiled and said nothing.

As the time for announcing the selected players for the European Ballon d'Or gets closer, the debate among the media and fans has also reached a fever pitch.

Anyway, only Martin and Ronaldo compete on the 30-person candidate list, with a 50% probability.

De Bruyne, who follows Martin, noticed the latest hairstyles of his friends who often posted selfies on social accounts. Seeing some hot comments, he started to speculate, so he sent Martin a message on WhatsApp: Are you sure?

Martin replied instantly: Guess.

De Bruyne rolled his eyes and replied: Do you think I can guess?
Martin, who was relatively bored, quickly pressed the next sentence on the virtual keyboard: Guess, let me guess, do you guess?
De Bruyne, who felt his brain was down, subconsciously replied:? ? ?
