George didn't know what kind of consideration Johnson put Tottenham into the group of death. He only saw that after drawing Tottenham into the group F where Real Madrid and Lyon were, in the next fourth round of draw, Bobby Charlton and Blank waved their hands and threw Udinese in!

La Liga runner-up, Ligue 1 runner-up (Note: With George's intervention, Lyon failed to accomplish the great achievements of Ligue 1 consecutive championships like he did in his previous life, and was broken by Monaco last season's dream of four consecutive championships), Premier League runner-up and Serie A fourth. Although the configuration of this group is not as terrifying as the death group of Tottenham, Juventus, Bayern and Ajax last season, it is definitely worthy of the title of the death group!

"It seems that after the lottery ceremony, I need to have a good talk with Johnson. Let him know that we are not his subordinates, but an equal ally!" Looking at the group situation displayed on the big screen, George said with a pale face, "There are some ways to get rid of Lyon in the group stage. Why do I have to let me do it myself and bring in Udinese, the extra guy?"

George can be said to be extremely dissatisfied with the result of this draw. Because he is now planning to lead the team to continue the glory of last season and lay the image of Tottenham's top giants in the minds of fans. The result is that Tottenham was assigned to such a death group by UEFA, which forced them to spend more effort to compete for a qualifying place than other competitors in the first half of the season. Especially when Tottenham needs to face multi-line combat this season, this disadvantage faced by Tottenham in the group stage is very likely to have a serious negative impact on the direction of the whole season!

Moreover, the most serious point is that unlike other cross-year leagues, the Premier League does not have a winter break, and the schedule of Premier League clubs is generally much more intensive than the clubs in other leagues. This means that Tottenham is basically impossible to get a period of time to allow the team to rest in the middle of the season!

Although Tottenham has the best bench depth in the entire European football world, this does not mean that George should help Johnson suppress Lyon at the expense of Tottenham's interests. Not to mention, this matter is actually only known to George, as a time traveler. In the eyes of outsiders, Tottenham's overall strength and lineup thickness have declined to a certain extent with the departure of Ribery and others. Therefore, it is not surprising that UEFA, or Johnson's move, will arouse George's anger. Because George can fully understand this, he thinks that Johnson plans to cross the river and destroy the bridge after he has gained enough money!

Since I can help Johnson, you suppress Platini, I also have the ability to support a more obedient guy to become the head of UEFA! This is what George plans to let Johnson understand next!

You know, as an ally, George has provided a lot of help to Johnson. But Johnson did not communicate with George in advance on the grouping matters this time, and directly caused such a big trouble for Tottenham. It is really unreasonable!

Even if it is not easy to walk to Tottenham to advance to the knockout stage, it can arrange a second team with relatively weak strength for the group where Tottenham is located. Why can Barcelona be separated from Panasinaco, and Tottenham have to face strong teams in a row since the group stage?

Although George really wanted to have an in-depth discussion with Johnson on the issue of "Spurs was drawn into the Death Group for the second consecutive year", it is obviously not the occasion to discuss this topic. Therefore, he could only temporarily suppress his anger and wait until the conference is over before going to settle the accounts with Johnson!

At this time, the 2005-06 Champions League group stage group draw ceremony has come to an end. Next, the conference officially enters the next stage, that is, the selection results of the major awards and the UEFA Best Team of the Year!

The first one to be awarded was the UEFA President's Award. This year it was Frank Rijcard. Of course, the reason why the "Black Swan" was able to win this honor is not because of his amazing achievements as the Barcelona head coach, but to commend his outstanding contribution to the development of football during his time as a player!

Rijcard can be said to be the first player to give the position of a complete definition of the midfielder and officially refine it from the midfield. Before that, whether it was Falcao, known as the "eighth Rome King", or the center of the two German tanks, Schuster and Mattus, the front and back, or Luis Fernandez and Tigana, one of the "golden midfielders" in the 1980s, these famous players had a vague prototype of the midfielder when playing football, but they failed to reach the height of Rijcard and perfectly interpret the position of the midfielder!

Next, the winner of UEFA's best goalkeeper was announced. The three shortlisted players were Cech, Buffon and Akinfeev. In the end, the Czech goalkeeper successfully defeated the two behind with Tottenham and the Champions League trophy, as well as the outstanding performance of setting up consecutive goals in the five major leagues, and won this award that was of great significance to him, officially challenging Buffon's position as the world's number one goalkeeper!

Later, Chelsea captain Terry defeated two rivals, Ridley King and Maldini, and took the stage to win the title of best defender. Although Chelsea's performance in the Champions League was not as good as Tottenham and AC Milan, Terry's performance in the Blues is obvious to all. In addition, as the captain, he led Chelsea to win the club's first top league championship in 50 years, and UEFA's balance considerations, these factors combined make Terry the final winner!

The honors of Best Midfielder and Best Forward were won by Kaka and Adriano respectively. Although Xavi Alonso won two championship trophys with the team and was Tottenham's midfielder brain, the judges obviously prefer Kaka, who has a superstar appearance and more visual impact. Although Drogba performed well, the Ivorian Warcraft, who made too many sacrifices for the team, cannot compare with Adriano, who is regarded as the new king of Meazza, in terms of personal data and fame, and can only miss this award regretfully.

As for the honor of the best coach, it undoubtedly belongs to George Nelson - he led Tottenham Hotspur to become the European champion and fought with Chelsea on the league until he finally lost. If such a result is not rated as the best coach, I am afraid the media and fans will feel that there is a shady scene here!

Finally, the most important and most popular player award was awarded. However, when the answer was revealed, everyone, including George, was shocked by the results announced!
