Every year at the end of August, Monaco becomes the focus of fans around the world.
The annual Champions League group stage draw will be held here.
This year, due to various reasons such as the European Cup, the group stage draw ceremony was postponed to early September.
As the top scorer in the Champions League last season and the leading striker for Champions League champion Valencia, Su Dong received an invitation from UEFA and came to Monaco to attend the UEFA annual awards ceremony.
As in previous years, the awarding and drawing of lots were held at the same time.
Although it was the national team match day, several award-winning players were invited to attend this event.
The best goalkeeper is Canizares from Valencia, the best defender is Carvalho from Chelsea, the best midfielder is Sudong's current teammate Deco, and as for the best forward, Sudong has no country
Team competition tasks give you more time.
Canizares came to Barcelona from Valencia to join Su Dong. He was also accompanied by the equally leisurely David Silva and Messi. These two little followers had nothing to do and just wanted to accompany Su Dong.
Take a trip east to Monaco.
Anyway, UEFA is responsible for food and accommodation, and the air tickets are very cheap, so Su Dong took care of them.
After arriving at Nice Airport in France, the four of them got on a helicopter and headed from Nice Airport to Monaco.
When they checked into the hotel prepared by UEFA, they found that two Portuguese internationals, Deco and Carvalho, had already checked in before them. In addition, Su Dong also met Otto the Great, who led Greece to win the European Cup this summer in the corridor of the floor.
Rehagel.
He will receive the title of European Cup winning coach.
Although Rehagel defeated Portugal and made his friend Ronnie very painful, Su Dong still admired this famous coach and took the initiative to go over to meet Emperor Otto and exchange a few words, which was nothing more than to express his feelings for him.
of admiration.
Greece's style of play is indeed unpleasant, but being able to organize defense to this level is still a test of skill.
…
After entering the room, Su Dong took a short rest when Deco and Carvalho came to the door.
When they saw David Silva and Messi, both of them felt a little surprised, but they were quickly relieved.
During this period, everyone in the Barcelona team could see Su Dong's love for Messi.
To put it simply, Messi is the person supported by Su Dong!
Deco's impression of Messi is not very good, because he is Brazilian and is naturally not interested in Argentines.
What's more, Messi rarely interacts with other members of the first team and just follows Su Dong all day long.
If Su Dong is the most diligent player in the first team, then Messi should be ranked second. The two of them are the same.
When Su Dong saw Carvalho, he couldn't help but have a bad taste.
"I'm really looking forward to drawing Chelsea in the afternoon draw ceremony!" Su Dong said with a smile.
Carvalho felt his hair stand on end after hearing this.
Touch Su Dong?
That was definitely the last thing he wanted to encounter.
Fortunately, Su Dong did not continue to pester him on this matter, but changed the subject and mentioned another player.
Drogba.
"How is he doing in your team?" Su Dong asked with concern.
"Do you know him?" Carvalho was a little surprised.
Su Dong nodded, "We met in the Champions League group stage last season. He lost and was quite unconvinced. He said he would beat me if we meet again. Tell him later that I'm still waiting for him!"
At the end of the sentence, Su Dong laughed with confidence.
Carvalho nodded in agreement, but the look he looked at Su Dong was very unusual.
He could see that Su Dong was much more confident than when he was in the Portuguese Super League.
Nowadays, Su Dong is no longer afraid of any opponent's challenge, so he issued such a provocation to Drogba.
"To be honest, Su, you have a lot of enemies. Two days ago, the newly introduced center from Juventus said that he wanted to kill you. When did you offend him?" Deco said with a smile.
Su Dong smiled helplessly, "I don't know why so many people are staring at me. In fact, I am a good person."
Everyone smiled for a while.
Su Dong is indeed good, but it is definitely not without reason that so many people are staring at him.
The record transfer fee of 80 million euros allowed Su Dong to surpass Zidane in one fell swoop.
Although the voices of doubts from the outside world are now much smaller, in fact, many people are still unconvinced with Su Dong because he is too young, and many people regard him as a target and want to bring him down.
For example, Juventus signed Swedish center Ibrahimovic from Ajax for 16 million euros.
At the press conference for joining the Swedish Shenta to join the Old Lady, a media reporter asked Ibrahimovic. News reports said that his playing style is very similar to Su Dong's, both are very tall and strong, and have very good foot skills.
Excellent, what does he think?
This made the Swedish center go crazy on the spot.
Ibrahimovic said that he is not like anyone else, "I am who I am!"
Regarding Sudong, Ibrahimovic said that he did not understand why any team would be willing to pay such a high transfer fee for him. This was very unreasonable.
"The price for signing him can already buy five Ibrahimovics. I don't think such a person exists in this world!"
The Swedish center also said confidently, "I am not a player who likes to provoke others, but I want to say that I am better than Su Dong, and I will prove it in the new season!"
This is the whole process of Ibrahimovic trying to kill Soviet Union.
…
Su Dong himself was also very depressed. He was shot while lying down.
Obviously he didn't do anything or say anything, yet another opponent came.
"But this is going to be a bit troublesome!" Su Dong said with an embarrassed smile.
"How do you say that?" Deco asked curiously.
"Chelsea is the second tier, and Juventus is also the second tier. So, is it better for us to play against Chelsea? Or against Juventus?" Su Dong asked Deco with a smile.
Deco immediately laughed out loud.
This season’s Champions League is really a bit scary.
Porto, Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia have all entered the seeding teams with their outstanding performances in recent seasons.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Following this, teams such as AC Milan, Liverpool, Juventus, Inter Milan, Roma, Lyon and Chelsea have entered the second gear. This is simply called
The rhythm makes people crazy.
No matter who I meet, it's basically a strong conversation.
However, one good thing is that there are basically no strong teams in the third and fourth gears.
"According to the past draw results of the Champions League, there is a high probability that it will be a two-strong pattern." Cañizares guessed.
The so-called two-power structure is that there are four teams in a group, two strong teams, one mid-range team and one fourth-tier underdog.
Of course, if you are lucky and draw the weakest Panathinaikos in the second pot, that is a different matter.
"I still hope to draw Chelsea!" Su Dong looked at Carvalho seriously and said.
Chelsea central defender is very depressed, why are you targeting me again?
Let’s not make nightmare-inducing jokes like this, okay?
…………
…………
Sometimes, things in the world are really weird.
If you want to talk about the Champions League draw, the team Su Dong dislikes the most is Serie A.
The teams in Serie A are all very good defensively, which gives him a very headache.
This was the case as early as Sporting Lisbon, then it was the same in Valencia, and it was still the same in Barcelona.
Some people say that the food chain of European football in recent years is that La Liga beats the Premier League, the Premier League beats Serie A, Serie A beats La Liga, and the Bundesliga is waving the flag and cheering for soy sauce.
But what's terrible is that among the eight teams in the second tier, there are actually four Serie A teams.
The probability of the seeded team drawing the Serie A team is 50%.
What's even more unfortunate is that Juventus, the strongest team in Serie A, was actually drawn to Barcelona.
When the lottery results came out, Su Dong obviously heard a surprised sound from Deco next to him.
It doesn't matter if you draw one Roma. After all, after powerful stars such as Capello and Emerson switched to Juventus, Roma's overall strength has been greatly reduced, but it is Juventus.
In the third pot, the team was drawn Ajax, and in the fourth pot, Shakhtar Donetsk was drawn.
Barcelona's draw was not ideal. I can't say it's bad, but it's really not good.
Not to mention Juventus's strength, Ajax's strength is also not simple, and Shakhtar Donetsk is far away in Ukraine. According to the schedule, in the last round of the group stage, Barcelona will go to Ukraine, which will be a ten-day trip.
February.
…
During the draw, Su Dong came on stage to receive the award for the best forward of the season.
The person responsible for presenting him with the award was Prince Albert of Monaco.
Several other awards were subsequently awarded, for example, Rehagel received the Champion Coach Award, and Portuguese Football Federation President Mader received the Special Contribution Award. This was because Portugal successfully hosted the European Cup.
The grand finale is the season's Most Valuable Player.
There is actually not much suspense about this, because everyone basically believes that there are only two players capable of competing for this award, one is Su Dong and the other is Deco.
Sudong's competitive bargaining chip comes from his outstanding performance in the Champions League and La Liga, especially his thirty-five goals in La Liga, which broke the historical record set by Ronaldo, which caused a sensation all over the world.
The number of goals scored in the Champions League also reached 17, which also created history.
It can be said that Su Dong's performance last season was phenomenal!
Deco's bargaining chip comes from being the runner-up in the Champions League, and in this summer's European Cup, despite his mediocre performance, Deco also helped Portugal win the runner-up spot.
Whether it's Deco or Carvalho, it's actually quite sad because they won two runner-up places.
Although it is better than that of King Balak of Sanya in 2002, it is still somewhat uncomfortable.
Many people have speculated whether Deco's two runner-up finishes can match the results achieved by Su Dong?
More importantly, UEFA's annual awards have always been regarded as the benchmark for the European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer.
From September to the end of the year, during these three or four months, there are basically no other significant awards.
As long as he wins the best player of the year and performs well in the following leagues, he is very likely to win two awards.
Therefore, media and fans all over the world are focusing on this award ceremony in Monaco.
Regardless of whether it is Su Dong or Deco, whoever wins this award will become the top favorite for the World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or.
