Football: The strongest post-zero generation.

Chapter 297 The top three at the Golden Globe Awards

At 2017 o'clock that evening, the 2018-1 Champions League quarter-finals draw ceremony was held in Nyon, the UEFA headquarters. Compared with the group draw, the knockout draw is much faster.

There are only two avoidance rules in the knockout draw. The first is that two teams in the same group will not meet in the 1/8 finals, and the second is that teams affiliated with the Football Association will not meet in the 1/8 finals.

The draw ceremony was hosted by UEFA competition director Marchetti, and former Liverpool star Xavi Alonso served as the draw guest.

The first team to be drawn and the second team to be drawn were last season's Champions League runners-up Juventus. This draw immediately made the guests take a breath, and even the large number of fans in front of the TV felt frightened.

Juventus is in the same group as Barcelona, ​​and there is no Serie A team that ranks first in the group. This means that the five Premier League teams, Besiktas and Paris Saint-Germain are all likely to draw the old lady Juventus.

Obviously, among all the group leaders, only Besiktas from the Turkish Super League is the weakest, and it is also the group leader that all the second teams hope to draw.

If Juventus wants to go further, drawing Besiktas is the most ideal opponent. After all, the top five Premier League and Paris Saint-Germain are difficult to deal with, especially Manchester City and Liverpool who are in good form.

However, Juventus did not draw Besiktas, nor did they draw Manchester City or Liverpool. Their opponent was Tottenham Hotspur.

The officials who were present on behalf of Tottenham and Juventus both had expressions on their faces, but this is good news for other teams that have not yet been drawn.

The second team to be drawn out is Basel. This is a weak team that can be said to be slaughtered. Of course, this is for those wealthy teams.

Manchester City became the lucky one, they became Basel's opponent in the 1/8 finals.

Sitting in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of the draw, Li Qing's home team Liverpool became the third team to be beaten first in the group. Their opponent was Porto, the only team from the Portuguese Super League.

Sevilla drew Manchester United, and CEO Ed Woodward, who attended on behalf of Manchester United, had a clear smile on his face.

The draw results of the four 1/8 finals have been settled, and the remaining eight teams all feel varying degrees of nervousness. The remaining teams are second in the group, and there are super strong teams like Real Madrid and Bayern.

Besiktas, the ideal group number one, is like the most delicious delicacy that everyone wants to eat.

The second team in the fifth group drawn was the defending champion Real Madrid. Suddenly, the entire draw became tense, especially the top management of Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea.

It is impossible for Barcelona, ​​the top team in the group, to draw Real Madrid without being drawn out, which means that Real Madrid's potential opponents are only Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Besiktas.

Real Madrid is not afraid of any team, but it does not want to encounter a strong team prematurely, so the most ideal opponent is Besiktas.

The top brass of Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea are praying that God will send Besiktas into the mouth of Real Madrid.

However, praying is often useless. What should come will always come. Paris Saint-Germain was very unfortunate to become the defending champion Real Madrid's opponent in the 1/8 finals.

There is no doubt that the 1/8 finals between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are more exciting than the 1/8 finals between Juventus and Tottenham! Real Madrid, the second strongest team in the group, was drawn out, and the remaining six teams basically prepared for the worst.

Shakhtar Donek was drawn to Barcelona, ​​Roma was drawn to Chelsea, and Bayern and Besiktas, who were not drawn, automatically became the opponents in the 1/8 finals.

There are still two months before the start of the Champions League knockout rounds, and the opponent's strength is limited. Liverpool coach Klopp's attention is first focused on the domestic league, which is the next Merseyside derby.

The mainstream media in Europe are temporarily focusing on the just-concluded UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals draw and the UEFA Europa League 1/16 final draw. However, just one day later, the focus of the world's football media and sports media was on the Paris, France " French Football Headquarters.

The 2017 European Golden Globe Awards is different from the past. It is the first time that an awards ceremony has been set up, and the location chosen is quite the landmark Eiffel Tower, which is often called the Eiffel Tower.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who led Real Madrid to win the league championship and the Champions League in the 2016-2017 season, was the first choice for the European Golden Ball Award. He even reversed Messi and was elected to the European Golden Boot Award in terms of goals. According to the professionalism of the European Golden Ball Award, Basically, they are inseparable, and the focus of the media is who can get the second and third place.

Compared with the past 30-person list that selected three final candidates through primaries, this year a list of 3 people will be directly handed over to professional reporters for voting.

Although "France Football" did not select the final three candidates for this year's European Ballon d'Or, "France Football" magazine announced the three players with the highest voices on its official website, INS, Twitter and other official accounts.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who is most likely to win the European Ballon d'Or, has naturally become one of the three most popular players. There is no surprise that the other player announced is Messi, one of the two prides in football.

As for the last player who has the loudest voice, it is reasonable but also somewhat unexpected.

Because... the one selected was Li Qing, who was born at the beginning of this year!
It makes sense that Li Qing helped Liverpool reverse Chelsea and win the first Premier League title in team history in the second half of the 2016-2017 season. In addition, he also won the FA Cup and the World Youth Championship.

At the beginning of the 2017-2018 season, Liverpool continued to perform well. In addition to maintaining first place in the Premier League, Liverpool also advanced to the top 2015 with six consecutive group wins and broke the Champions League group stage scoring record set by Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2016- season.

This season's Premier League lasted 14 rounds and scored an astonishing 34 goals, tying the Premier League single-season scoring record set by Andy Cole and Alan Shearer in the s.

The biggest difference between the European Ballon d'Or selection and the FIFA World Player of the Year is that this honor founded by "France Football" is for professional journalists. Li Qing's continuous outstanding performance will not be ignored by professional reporters.

Unexpectedly, Li Qing is too young. He has only been famous for less than a year. It is like he has just created a new account and reached the full level within a few days. It is somewhat unrealistic.
