I brush achievements in football

"Every year, the lottery is held in Monte Carlo. I hope these rich European footballers will come and gamble twice."

On the way to the convention center where the Champions League draw was held, Kiya complained to Benelli.

Du Yue beside him burst out laughing.

The Champions League draw ceremony will also award the best awards of last season's Champions League. UEFA specifically told Ji Ya to take Du Yue with him. In fact, it has proved that Du Yue will win an award no matter what.

The top scorer is for sure, the best player, he also has a chance to compete, maybe he can win two awards, after all, the best player is at least selected from the final players, the overall performance of Juventus players is still worse , as Southampton's main force and number one striker, Du Yue deserves the award.

Of course, there is also a possibility that they will award the best player award to Dembele or Coutinho... After all, the two of them performed quite well.

Du Yue didn't care too much about this. He knew that at his age and on the stage of Southampton, he would definitely win awards and get soft hands in the future. He didn't need to care too much at all, as long as he performed well.

After arriving at the scene, Ji Ya greeted the coaches he knew, and found a place to sit down.

This time the Champions League grouping is the defending champion and the champions of the first seven leagues as the first team, because Southampton is the defending champion and the champion of the Premier League, so among the first team, the Ukrainian league champion with eighth points Shakhtar Donetsk was lucky to squeeze into the first rank of the team.

In this way, the second-tier teams are really strong teams, Manchester City, Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, Paris, Sevilla, Dortmund, Porto... In short, none of them are easy to deal with.

The strong teams in the third tier include Roma, Liverpool, and Naples, and the strong teams in the fourth tier include Leipzig Red Bull, Celtic, and Feyenoord.

"They can't put Real Madrid in the same group as us this time, but I guess Roma will probably give us in the third tier... In the second tier, Barcelona, ​​Paris, Atletico Madrid are all possible, Dortmund are also possible... ...It's really hard to guess." Ji Ya said to Benelli and Du Yue.

Benelli and Du Yue laughed at the same time. It has not been a day or two for UEFA to embarrass Southampton. This time, Southampton is here for the fifth consecutive championship. Of course, they will not cheapen Southampton in the draw.

Sure enough, after the draw, UEFA gave Southampton a draw, and they drew a third-tier team Roma...

The next fourth-tier team drawn is the Champions League newcomer, Karabak from Azerbaijan.

"Hey, give us such a big deal?" Ji Ya said in surprise.

It's not that he looks down on opponents, but in the European football sector, the Azerbaijani team is really nothing, and it's the first time they have entered the Champions League. Just looking at this, you know they must be big gift bag.

But soon Ji Ya figured it out. UEFA has spared no effort to promote football to these marginal countries these years. What can inspire the people of Azerbaijan better than the defending champion going to Azerbaijan to play a real match? Interested in football?

This is using them as a tool for propaganda.

But Ji Ya doesn't care about this, just treat it as a tool, this is also a good opportunity to promote Southampton.

Those traditional fan areas have already been occupied by the major giants. Southampton’s expanded fan group in recent years, apart from abruptly cutting off a piece in Southeast Asia, is to use their Chinese identity and Du Yue's identity of Chinese origin has created a large number of fan groups in China. These groups may not bring much income, but they can bring huge influence.

In this information age, influence means money.

But soon, Ji Ya knew that UEFA is still the UEFA that doesn't behave like a human being.

In the second tier of teams, UEFA immediately arranged Atletico Madrid for them...

Southampton, Atletico Madrid, Roma, Qarabag.

Except for Karabag, which should be a big gift bag, the other three teams can be considered strong teams.

Needless to say, Southampton, Atletico Madrid was the third in La Liga last season, while Roma was the runner-up in Serie A. Atletico Madrid is good at defense, while Roma is good at offense. Among such opponents, it is actually a bit difficult for Southampton to qualify. Maybe the three teams are entangled together, which will greatly involve their energy.

"About the draw? I'm very satisfied... After all, it's much better than when we were divided with Real Madrid before. Atletico Madrid is a strong team, and Roma is also a strong team, but we also have experience in dealing with them."

During the brief rest ceremony, Ji Ya took the time to accept an interview. He looked very relaxed, but the reporters were more anxious. After all, they have a greater love for Southampton's five consecutive championships...

"I know what you want to ask... You have won the Champions League for four consecutive times. Don't you want to win five consecutive championships and six consecutive championships? Of course, the game needs to be played one by one. The Champions Cup is the most difficult game. No one I can guarantee that I can win the championship, so this requires us to work harder. But our players are used to such efforts." Ji Ya continued.

His words satisfied the reporters, and it was foreseeable that the headline "Kiya launched an impact on Real Madrid's great record" would appear in newspapers and various media the next day.

In the past few years, Southampton has indeed formed a big relationship with Real Madrid. Although they had more conflicts with Barcelona before, it is obvious that their biggest enemy recently is Real Madrid.

After the draw ceremony, it was time for the awards ceremony. Du Yue won the award of the best forward in the UEFA Champions League without any suspense. For Du Yue, after all, his [-] goals, as well as his brace in the final, are also hard indicators, and no one can match them.

Ji Ya defended the honor of the best coach in the Champions League. This honor has belonged to him in the past few years.

"Southampton once again ushered in a bumper harvest! We are all a little tired and don't want to praise them anymore... But it turns out that their standard is indeed sufficient, and they have an excellent overall and individual, coupled with Kiya's command , They really have the possibility to reproduce the miracle of Real Madrid's five consecutive championships in this era!"

Various media are praising Southampton. Although it is not denied that there is a meaning of praise, but now, no matter from any point of view, Southampton is already a well-deserved top giants!

And this giants, it seems that they have not completely reached their peak, and their peak is still going on.
