Green Dragon

Chapter 607

After defeating Arsenal 5-1, Longchute received a call from Switzerland in the afternoon of the second day.

He is not unfamiliar with this call, and he is very familiar with the person who sent the invitation-Marco Van Basten, a technical consultant working at UEFA headquarters.

"It's really sad. The legendary Dutch football legend, to call his disciples, even has to use the unit's landline phone. It's such a small bargain. It's really not old-fashioned!"

Long Shute teased his mentor.

"Hahaha!"

Not only did White Swan show no shame, but he laughed heartily, which shows that his life has been quite comfortable in recent years:
"This is my real job, what's the matter with UEFA's phone?"

Long Shute turned his mobile phone to the external state, and then continued to play video games with Crom:
"Okay, tell me, what new topics have you researched recently? Do you need me to provide you with financial support or technical data?"

Van Basten's laughter subsided a little:
"Uh...it's like this, you know, every season's Champions League group stage draw ceremony will invite some heavyweight guests, and you are one of the superstars Platini wants to invite."

While rubbing the handle, Long Shute asked with a smile:

"Should I go to the lottery? This is a good experience. I have always been interested in the tricks inside the lottery."

"No, it's not a lottery."

Van Basten hesitated:
"What Platini meant...was to have you as the guest of honor for the best UEFA player..."

Long Shute's hands couldn't hold back, and Crom's sharp combo immediately knocked him to the ground.

Van Basten's voice sounded again:

"Hey Dragon, I know this is not easy for anyone, so they asked me to ask your opinion..."

Long Shute threw away the controller:

"It's nothing, you can put the schedule in my mailbox, and I will attend the ceremony."
-
4 days later on April 8th.

The plane driven by Long Shute landed on a tarmac in Monaco.

Van Basten, who had been waiting for a long time, smiled and opened his arms to him, and the two had a warm and intense hug.

"If it weren't for our gender issue, I would definitely send you a sweet kiss."

The white swan made a rare joke.

Long Shute shrugged:

"No, if you did, you'd destroy my family."

Van Basten laughed. He subconsciously glanced at Long Shute's legs, his eyes filled with relief:
"I'm so happy to see you walking like flying again."

Long Shute patted his mentor on the shoulder:

"I am also very happy to see that you are still in shape."
-
Every year, the UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony is the focus of football attention, because the eyes of the whole of Europe are gathered on this small stage.

Some people expect their team to draw a good lottery, others expect to meet a strong opponent, and some even hope that their competitors will all fight to the death in the group of death...

For a long time, UEFA's lottery has always been widely criticized, "initial decision", "tricky", "acting", "obscure", "procedural"... All kinds of doubts have never stopped Pass.

For example, AC Milan will encounter Barcelona almost every season, for example, Arsenal will encounter the Cosmos team as soon as they enter the knockout round, for example, Real Madrid and Barcelona always get big gifts...

At every lottery ceremony, there will always be some people staring nervously at the hands of the guests, trying to crack their magic tricks, and before or after the lottery, a large number of people will prove that the result of the lottery is absolutely Be manipulated!
As for the awards ceremony, it was the least suspenseful thing.

After all, in the last season, Barcelona, ​​which owns MSN, re-emerged to the top of Europe with an unstoppable momentum. The shiny silver trophy says it all.

As the well-deserved absolute core of Barcelona, ​​Messi is undoubtedly the strongest individual in the past year. Even if the other two candidates-C Ronaldo and Suarez are tied together, it is impossible to be better than him.

"Please allow me to introduce the last two award presenters, who will announce the ownership of the MVP together."

The host has a professional smile on his face:

"The President of UEFA, Mr. Michel Platini, and Long, who has won UEFA's best player for three consecutive seasons... are special!"

Although there are no airtight walls in the world, Long Shute's attendance at the ceremony was also photographed by many media, but it was not until he appeared on the stage that everyone realized that the previous news was not groundless.

Even Ronaldo, Messi, and Suarez standing on the stage had a look of surprise on their faces.

Like many awards ceremonies, the final guests are also qualified to express their feelings, or to shake the burden, or to pave the way for the atmosphere.

Platini certainly knows this well, but he doesn't seem in the mood to do these things now.

So I handed it over to Long Shute.

"I received an invitation a few days ago. To be honest, I was a little surprised. After all...the guests who can be the guests of major award ceremonies are usually gray-haired old men. even younger."

Long Shute first made a joke, and then continued:

"Some spectators watch the game late, and they may not know me, so I won't waste time introducing myself. I hope everyone understands, they can Google or Baidu, and they should be able to find me."

The bosses of the various wealthy clubs in the audience couldn't help laughing.

Long Shute turned his body slightly, glanced at the three candidates who were waiting to receive the award, and shrugged his shoulders:

"To be honest, this is the first time I feel powerless.

I have always been an arrogant person. If someone stands on top of my head, I will definitely knock him down in the shortest time, but this time, I will not be able to accomplish this goal 100%, because this season... I The team can't enter the Champions League, I can only be a spectator off the court. "

Liverpool only ranked fifth in the league last season and only qualified for the Europa League, so he missed the Champions League for the second consecutive year and could only watch Messi and Ronaldo compete in this competition.

And he who is not qualified for the Champions League... no matter how amazing his performance in the club is, he will still lack a lot of honor in the awards.

"Of course I'm not reconciled, so I'm here to announce to my opponents:

Cherish the 2015-2016 season and show your best performance!
Because this is a season without Long Shute.

Because... in just one more season, that scarlet cloud that hangs over Europe... is coming back! "
-
Platini clapped his hands with a slight wry smile.

This guy was invited by him. Of course the old man knew that he would never go away quietly.

There was also a burst of applause from the entire venue.

Messi and Ronaldo standing behind him seemed to feel a huge pressure.

The time left for them to compete for the championship...is running out!

Suarez, who was standing among them, pouted.

His former teammate...why does he always like to pretend so much?

What kind of virtue is Liverpool, don't you, Long Ritian, have no bottom line?

Even if you go back to the Champions League... so what?
