Chapter 305 The best player in Europe

After the game against Sunderland, Arsenal's league points reached 12 points, still ranking first in the standings, 2 points more than No.2 Liverpool, No.3 is Tottenham Hotspur with 9 points, fourth and fifth are Manchester City and Manchester United, with 7 points.

What makes all the Premier League teams feel uneasy is that this year's Arsenal is not only fierce, but what is even more terrifying is that they still have zero goals so far!

Such a strong defensive ability is definitely not what they want to see!
So no matter which team it is, they all began to concentrate on studying the current Arsenal and studying the magical Chinese Zhang that changed Arsenal.Especially the Chinese zhang, how to contain him and limit his performance, this is the focus of research by the Premier League.

Just when they were deeply studying the carefully planned tactics to contain the Chinese government, Wenger represented Arsenal to UEFA to conduct the draw ceremony for the group stage of the European Champions Cup finals.

To Zhang Xu's surprise, Wenger did not take Wilshere, who participated in the European Champions Cup last season, but brought him over.

The lottery ceremony was held at the Palace of Parliament, King Power Square, Monaco, the capital of Monaco.

When Zhang Xu and Wenger arrived in Monaco, it was already 45:[-] pm, and the draw ceremony was held at [-]:[-] pm.

Since there was not enough time, Zhang Xu and Wenger rushed directly to the Palace of Parliament, King Power Square, Monaco.

When they arrived at the Yizheng Hall, the guests had already started to enter the venue one after another.Zhang Xu and Wenger didn't have time to make more preparations, even the dinner, so they simply tidied up their clothes and went directly to the Palace of Political Affairs in order.

At the door, Zhang Xu met many acquaintances along the way.

"Hi, Zhang, wow, I'm so glad to see you here! This is, oh, Professor Wenger! Are you here on behalf of Arsenal?" Just as Zhang Xu queued to enter, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

Zhang Xu looked back, it turned out to be Messi!
"Hi, Messi, hello!" Zhang Xu waved at the other party, and when the other party approached, he hugged the other party and gave him two hard hammers.

"Damn it, Zhang, take it easy! Who can stand your strength? Do you want to take me to the hospital?" Messi screamed, and then asked: "I didn't expect you to come to the European Champions Cup. I really don't want to meet you, a monster. I hope we can have better luck in Barcelona today!"

"Haha, what's the matter? We at Arsenal are even more afraid of meeting you Barcelona. You have been too strong in the past two years! We want to go further!" Zhang Xu said frankly.

"Yeah, I really like to hear this! But why does it feel a bit fake, you will be afraid? Damn it!" Messi seemed to think of something again: "Hey, Zhang, I heard that you have been doing well in Arsenal recently. We heard the news of killing all directions in Spain!"

"Kill the Quartet?" Zhang Xu was stunned: "It's really a rumor, we just won 9 games in a row!"

"Oh, my God, 9 consecutive victories! Are you still not satisfied? Just pay? How much do you want? One hundred games? Do you want to break the world record?" Messi stroked his forehead with pain.

"It seems that 100 games is not a lot!" Zhang Xu answered smoothly.

"Well, I really have no common language with you and such a monster!" Messi rolled his eyes, completely speechless.

At this time, the sharp-eyed Zhang Xu saw another acquaintance: Ronaldo!
This time he took the initiative to say hello: "Hi, Cristiano, here!"

"Haha! Zhang! I was wondering if I could meet you here just now! I didn't expect to meet you so soon! Hey, Messi! Hello!" After Ronaldo walked in, he saw Messi. He smiled and simply said hello.

"Hi, Cristiano! Hello!" Messi also replied, then greeted Zhang Xu, and went to find his head coach.

Ronaldo looked at the figure of Messi going away, and said: "Zhang, I heard from Ozil that he won the game smoothly in the first game he participated in!"

"This kid, you keep leaking secrets!" Zhang Xu yelled strangely: "The opponent is the black cat Sunderland, and defeating the opponent is not something to be proud of! It will definitely be very interesting if we can meet you Real Madrid."

"Damn! That would be very boring! I don't want to meet you pervert so early! If we want to meet, I think it's better to meet in the final!" For Zhang Xu, Ronaldo is really a bit of a headache. Such a player who has repeatedly performed miracles, even if Real Madrid is so powerful, it is not easy to win the opponent smoothly, not to mention that the opponent is likely to fight back.

"Hey, Ronaldo, if I fight all the way to the end and you are killed halfway, what should I say?" Zhang Xu smiled strangely.

"Uh uh, Zhang, your assumption is not valid! Our Real Madrid is invincible! Just wait and see!" Ronaldo was full of confidence.

Zhang Xu was happy, and suddenly said: "If you meet Barcelona, ​​you will still be able to kill him?"

"Uh uh, of course!" Ronaldo insisted.For the current Barcelona, ​​Ronaldo really dare not say that he can definitely win the opponent.But in front of Zhang Xu, let's hold on first, so as not to make Zhang Xu a joke.

Didn't he know that his stubborn expression had already caught Zhang Xu's eyes, which immediately caused a series of laughter from Zhang Xu.

"Okay, damn it, if you meet Barcelona, ​​it depends on your luck!" Ronaldo finally admitted and said embarrassingly.

"Haha, alright, Cristiano, let's go, let's see how lucky our two teams are this season!" Zhang Xu hugged each other and walked towards the entrance of the Yizheng Hall.

Along the way, Zhang Xu also saw many acquaintances. Of course, he knew most of the others, and there were quite a few others who knew him, but the two sides had never met formally, so they just smiled and nodded.

At the entrance, a red carpet was laid out, as if attending some film festival.

Zhang Xu followed Wenger closely, and while waving to the reporters at the entrance, he entered the Palace of Political Affairs under the guidance of the etiquette guide.

When Zhang Xu and Wenger sat down in their seats, the entire hall was already full.

This is a very sci-fi hall, with two floors full of sci-fi flavor on the front. The circular floor below is obviously the scene of the awards draw. On the top is a row of curved LCD screens. At this time, the highlights of the European Champions Cup last season are being played.

At six o'clock in the evening, a piece of music sounded, and two hosts came up from behind.

One is Pinto, the host of the US Cable Network, and the other is Melanie, a beautiful host.After the two walked up, they directly announced the official start of the lottery ceremony.

Then played the highlights of the previous season and some touching scenes in the finals.Immediately afterwards, a short VR story was played, in the form of a visitor entering the 2012-2013 European Champions Cup Memorial Hall, showing the experience and past of the European Champions Cup last season in front of everyone bit by bit.

Subsequently, the host invited the Celtics legend Garywell to come on stage, and the other party said that the European Champions Cup trophy was taken to the front.

Garywell will also be the guest of today's draw. Next, two UEFA officials who have manipulated the fate of the European Champions Cup giants for many years will come up.Finally, another image ambassador guest was invited, that is the Portuguese - Figo.

Next, the secretary-general of the European company began to introduce the situation of the European Champions Cup at length.

Then, began to announce the teams ranked in the first pot of this European Champions Cup season, they are: Manchester United, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Byron Munich, Chelsea, Porto, Benfica and Barcelona!
Immediately afterwards, the draw ceremony officially began.

What surprised Zhang Xu and Wenger was that the first team drawn was Arsenal!Then Figo drew Group F.

Afterwards, the tense draw ceremony went backwards little by little, and soon, the teams that were grouped with Arsenal were drawn out, they were: Dortmund, Naples and Marseille!

This should be a good arrangement for Arsenal. Except for Dortmund's strength, the strength of the other two teams is not very strong.

Real Madrid is in Group B with Juventus and Barcelona is in Group H with AC Milan, Ajax and Celtic.

Generally speaking, there is no real group of death in this grouping. If Arsenal does not have Zhang Xu joining, the Arsenal group is really a group of death, because without Zhang Xu, Arsenal is on the same level as Marseille and Dortmund.

But now, with Zhang Xu, Arsenal's strength has undergone earth-shaking changes. It is not difficult to qualify for the group stage. What is difficult is the next game, which teams will they meet in the knockout round.

In the following awards ceremony, the best player in Europe was not Messi or Ronaldo, but Franck Ribery of Byron Munich.

The best lineup for the 2012-2013 season is as follows:
The formation is 4-3-3:
Goalkeeper: Caballero (Malaga/Argentina)
Defenders: Ramos (Real Madrid/Spain), Santana (Dortmund/Germany), Subotic (Dortmund/Serbia), Dante (Bayern Munich/Brazil)
Midfielders: Arturo Vidal (Juventus/Chile), Thomas Müller (Bayern Munich/Germany), Robben (Bayern Munich/Netherlands)
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid/Portugal), Messi (Barcelona/Argentina), Lewandowski (Dortmund/Poland)
After all the ceremonies were held, the guests left the field respectively, and Messi and Ronaldo had some disappointment on their faces.Zhang Xu walked up to them, hugged them one by one, expressed his condolences, and said with a smile:

"Hey buddy, next time I'll get back the best damn European player and get revenge on you guys!"

However, his words were laughed and scolded by the other party respectively!
"Get out! If you want to take it, I will take it back myself!"
