Midfielder Ruler

The 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group draw was conducted under the auspices of UEFA Secretary-General Infantino. Before the start of the draw, he introduced the rules of the draw for the group stage in accordance with the procedures and conventions. That is to say, the thirty-two teams are divided into four grades. , divided into eight groups on average, and the same league teams in the same group will not meet.

Immediately, the draw ceremony officially began.

Celtics legend McNeill and Portuguese legend Figo are responsible for drawing out the first-tier team and which group the team will be placed in.

The first team McNeil drew was Premier League Arsenal, and Figo drew it into the group.

Chelsea followed and were drawn into Group E, Real Madrid were drawn into Group B by McNeill and Figo, Barcelona into Group H, Bayern in Group D, Dortmund into Group F, Porto into Group G, and Manchester United into Group A.

Under the introduction of Infantino, Cruyff and Figo are responsible for the final ownership of the second-tier team.

Owen and Figo are responsible for the ownership of the third-tier teams, and Sosa and Figo are responsible for the ownership of the fourth-tier teams.

With Vienna, the last fourth-tier team, assigned to Group G, the draw for the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group stage is considered to be a complete end.

Tang Zheng's Real Madrid was drawn into Group B. Except for Juventus, the other three teams were not bad. Galatasaray from the Turkish Super League and Copenhagen from the Danish League couldn't pose a threat to Real Madrid. It was equivalent to Group B. The moment the result of the draw came out, the situation became clear.

Real Madrid is first in the group, Juventus is second, and Galatasaray and Copenhagen are competing for a Europa League spot.

As in previous years, the Group of Death is the one that gets the most attention.

Unfortunately, Tang Zheng's old club Dortmund once again entered the death group.

After losing Tang Zheng, Dortmund's overall strength declined to a certain extent.

Although the league ranked first in the league with a goal difference advantage at the end of the three rounds of the league, considering that the opponents in the first three rounds of the league were Augsburg, newly promoted Brunswick and Werder Bremen, the ranking is not convincing enough.

Marseille, Naples and Benfica were also drawn to Dortmund's Group F.

However, compared to the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League group stage where the four league champions were drawn to a group, Dortmund's draw this season is still acceptable.

Even so, Tang Zheng still turned his head to look at the area where his teammates were in front of him. Klopp's expression was serious. Hummels, Lewandowski, and Gotze, who were appointed as the second captain in the new season, all behaved very complicated.

The media who paid attention to the results of the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group draw shook their heads. They thought that the draw for this season would be very interesting, but it turned out that there was no other interesting group draw except for the group of death.

Because the results of the draw for the other seven groups are all strong and weak, and the qualifying situation is clear.

Of course, the results of the draw have come out, and everyone's attention has shifted to the selection of the best European player award.

The scene was handed back to BB announcer Pedro Pinto and Miss Switzerland Melanie Venig. They first introduced the scope of the selection of the best players in Europe, that is, players from clubs affiliated to UEFA member states can participate.

Media representatives from the 53 member football associations of UEFA will vote on the spot for the final three players. Each media has a chance to vote. The player with the highest cumulative votes will be the best European player in the 2013 season.

In fact, the selection of the best player in Europe in 2013 is very clear. 2013 is not a big year, so it will not be awarded to the Barcelona player Iniesta who has made outstanding contributions to the national team like in 2012.

Throughout the 2012-2013 season, no one was better than Tang Zheng.

The league title was won by Tang Zheng leading Dortmund for more than half a season before finally surpassing Bayern Munich and successfully defending the title, achieving the league championship for three consecutive times.

Even more so for the German Cup champions.

At the same time, He Wei, the commentator of Central 5 in the Beijing studio, said with a smile: I think in the history of UEFA, there will be a new history next. Fans in front of the TV, your thoughts should be the same as ours. Make peace, throughout the 2012-2013 season, no one is better than our Chinese player Tang Zheng!

After Pedro Pinto explained the selection rules and possible situations, the big screen at the scene played the highlights of the three candidate players in turn.

Since this was the first live voting, Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi who came to the scene all seemed a little nervous.

Especially Tang Zheng, who was most likely to be elected, his feet kept moving

----This is a gorgeous dividing line---

The shaking so much that Cristiano Ronaldo, who was sitting next to him, rolled his eyes and muttered to himself with his mouth pouted.

If someone notices the shape of his mouth, he must be able to hear the meaning of good for nothing.

Not long after, the highlights of the three candidate players were played, and Melanie Veniger's melodious voice resounded throughout the Grimaldi Conference Center: Now, three candidate players are invited to come on stage.

The close-up shots of the live broadcast were given to Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi in suits and leather shoes.

They got up from their seats and walked towards the middle of the venue.

Although 53 votes have been cast on the spot and the results have come out, UEFA's official engraver still has to engrave the names of the winners on the trophy that symbolizes the best player in Europe, and it will take some time.

Therefore, the hosts Pedro Pinto and Melanie Veniger had to give full play to their host ability, interviewing and teasing the candidates on the spot.

Perhaps it was intentional, Pedro Pinto first asked Messi, who followed Barcelona to the semi-finals of the Champions League last season.

Messi has also experienced countless big scenes. Even though he has realized that his chances of being elected as the best player in Europe are not high, his mentality has always remained at a very good stage.

The same is true for Cristiano Ronaldo. Last season, Real Madrid's overall performance was not good. He did not win the league, King's Cup and Champions League.

On the contrary, Tang Zheng was a little worried about gains and losses. He knew that he was the best player in Europe last season, but it was precisely because of this that he seemed worried.

In the past few days, the mainstream media in Europe have been reporting on the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group draw and the best European player award ceremony. It is undeniable that Tang Zheng's performance is outstanding, but most of the football selections now are based on the appeal of the stars. .

Moreover, the content is well-founded, and the analysis of the top three in recent years is well-documented.

Whether it is the best player in Europe, the European Golden Globe Award, or the FIFA Golden Globe Award, the final winner is either Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi.

So this time...will it be their duo?

Unknown things, no one can say for sure.

After interviewing Cristiano Ronaldo, Pedro Pinto turned his attention to Tang Zheng who had a calm face but a turbulent heart.

Don, many media believe that you were the best player in Europe in the past 2012-2013 season. What do you think personally?

Tang Zheng remained calm on the surface, nodded lightly to Pedro Pinto's question, then shrugged his shoulders and said: I don't think so, my outstanding performance is based on the coach, teammates and tens of thousands of fans I don't spare any energy, so I think it's not how good I am, but that my coaches, teammates and fans in Dortmund are good enough, I'm just the one in the top, that's all.

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter at the scene.

Central 5 commentator He Wei smiled awkwardly through the instant translation: I always thought that Tang Zheng played football well, but unexpectedly he was also very good at flattering. He said that his excellent performance came from the selflessness of coaches, teammates and fans. Consecration, of course...he is not wrong, it's just a bit interesting personally, haha...

Guest commentator Xu Yang also smiled: This shows that Tang Zheng's emotional intelligence is very high. Although he has changed his family now, he remembers every bit of the past in his heart. There is an old saying in China that goes, Drink water and never forget the well digger. Zheng is now not only a world-class star, but also represents the comprehensive quality of the country. He plays well and has high quality. This is the huge difference between a world-class star and many Chinese Super League players who like to play big names...

During the speech, another host, Miss Switzerland, Melanie Weniger asked Tang Zheng again: Tell me, if you win the title of best player in Europe, who do you want to thank the most?

Who are you thankful for? Tang Zheng looked at the beautiful Melanie Venig, and after seeing her nodding, she looked at all the guests, and said with a grin: Of course I have to thank my coaches, teammates, and fans in Dortmund. Also... and my parents, girlfriend...

puff--

Compared with the cheerful laughter that erupted from the Grimaldi Conference Center before, this time it was helpless.

Tang Zheng's expression changed, he shrugged his shoulders innocently and looked at the out of breath guests laughing: I'm not wrong, I

-----This is a gorgeous dividing line-

Definitely thanks to my coaches, teammates and…”

With the same reaction as a few seconds ago, another burst of laughter responded to him.

Pedro Pinto couldn't stand it any longer, he pulled Tang Zheng and said, Hey~ buddy, I think you can stop here!

Really? But I haven't said enough. Tang Zheng said mischievously.

The live director's close-up shot did not give Tang Zheng a close-up shot, but a shot that was enough to see the other two candidates, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

If the fans sitting in front of the TV pay a little attention, it is not difficult to see that Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have strange expressions.

Seeing that Tang Zheng was about to speak again, Pedro Pinto finally received the backstage news through the headset, so he said first: Ladies and gentlemen, the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group draw and the best European player awards ceremony have come to the most critical moment. Moment! Because the results are in! Now Michel Platini, the president of UEFA, and Rainer Holtzchu, the president of the magazine...

Michelle Platini and Rainer Holtzshu stepped into the center respectively, while hostesses holding trophies also appeared backstage.

Central 5 commentator He Wei's voice became a little nervous: It's normal for Platini to be the UEFA president in charge of awarding awards, but does the magazine chairman Holtzshu being the award presenter imply something? Tang Zheng last season But playing for Dortmund in the Bundesliga, the chairman of the German magazine as the guest of honor, will it?

Platini and magazine chairman Holtzshu shook hands with the host and the three candidate players respectively. Platini walked to the middle of the podium and said a few polite lines, and then the hostess presented the trophy Place on a serving stand.

Immediately afterwards, Platini glanced at all the guests at the scene, and then at the names engraved on the back of the trophy, and smiled mysteriously, satisfying the tastes of the guests and candidate players at the scene.

In the past two seconds or so, Platini held the two ears symbolizing the best player trophy in Europe, then raised it, and said loudly: Don——

At the same time, he directed the English Zheng Tang engraved with Tang Zheng's name on the back to all the guests present.

When Tang Zheng heard Platini's surname, Tang Zheng was immediately elated, but his excellent psychological quality forced him to suppress his body and mind, just like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi next to him, calmly patting palm.

Zhao Lina who followed Tang Zheng to the scene rolled her eyes when she saw Tang Zheng like this, because perhaps she was the only one at the scene who knew that Tang Zheng was pretending to be calm.

He Wei, the commentator of Central 5 in the Beijing studio, was stunned for half a second, and then said ecstatically: We knew this would be the result before the selection result was announced, because we all knew who performed well in the entire 2012-2013 season. But the moment the result came out, we still couldn't contain the excitement in our hearts! I think the fans in front of the TV are as proud of Tang Zheng as I am!

The award presenter chairman Holtzshu took over the silver trophy symbolizing the best player in Europe from UEFA President Michel Platini. The host Pedro Pinto walked to Tang Zheng and indicated that he could accept the trophy.

Tang Zheng's psychological fluctuations were very strong, but fortunately he had a strong psychological quality, and walked in the direction of the host Pedro Pinto's finger.

But he had just walked halfway, when he suddenly remembered something, stopped in place, and stretched out his right hand towards the nearest Messi.

Messi froze for a moment, but he reacted quickly, stretched out his right hand, and greeted him.

With a light grip, Tang Zheng came in front of Cristiano Ronaldo, also smiling and extending his right hand.

Although Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng were a little unhappy outside the arena, but this time must be graceful, he also smiled and stretched out his right hand.

Accompanied by the background music of the Champions League theme song, Holtzshu handed the trophy tightly in both hands to Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng was also unequivocal, and held it up high after receiving it.

Fans who watched the live broadcast on TV could clearly see the subtitles from the broadcaster—Tang Zheng, the best player in Europe in the 2012-2013 season.

Naturally, he should be happy to receive the supreme honor, but after he was happy, there was still an acceptance speech waiting for Tang Zheng.

He Wei, the central 5 commentator, did not speak, but stared intently at Tang Zheng in the rebroadcast camera, concentrating on it.
