Chapter 429

After drawing the 8 seeded teams in the first tier, soon, UEFA President and Secretary-General Taylor took the stage to draw out the second tier teams as well.

And different from the completely meaningless lottery of the first level, this second level of lottery has a little meaning!

Due to the strong rise of Crystal Palace last season, it squeezed out Liverpool, which must have been the first tier, and made Ligue [-] champion Lyon fortunate to become the first tier team. Therefore, most of the teams on the scene, except for the first tier, and the same Teams from Ligue [-] have some ideas about being in a group with Lyon!

In the end, Sporting Lisbon was fortunate enough to be in the same group as Lyon.

After all the teams in the second tier have drawn lots, the situation of the 8 groups in the UEFA Champions League is as follows:

Group: Chelsea, Roma

Group B: Inter Milan, Werder Bremen

Group: Barcelona, ​​Villarreal [

Group: Bayern Munich, PSV Eindhoven

Group E: Manchester United, Villarreal

Group F: Lyon, Sporting Lisbon

Group G: Arsenal, Porto

Group H: Real Madrid, Juventus

With the drawing of lots going on here, it can be said that the situation of this year's Champions League is relatively clear!

Next, there will be a draw for the third tier.

……

Since there are no strong teams in the third tier, it's worth noting it!

After drawing the teams in the third tier, finally, the draw ceremony came to the most exciting moment. After the active Premier League player Frank Lampard played, it means that Crystal Palace, a team that can be called a perfect spoiler, is always available. May be drawn out!

"Clatter!" Symbolically closing his eyes, he shook the glass container containing 8 small balls twice, and exerted force with three fingers. In order to show fairness, Lampard kept his eyes closed all the time, and took it out of the glass container. a small ball.

Unscrew the small ball in his hand three times, five times and two times, spread out the note inside, and put it in front of the camera lens facing him, the first one is pulled out

The fourth grade team was born!

This, I don’t know if it’s really such a coincidence, God knows, all the big teams sitting here today are eager to know which group Crystal Palace will be assigned to, this is your sister, Lampard Randomly fish out a small ball from the glass bowl, with a 8/1 probability, it was such a coincidence that it directly got the Crystal Palace out!

Well, when Lampard saw the team he had drawn, he was obviously surprised. He was a little stunned, and Lampard jokingly said to the audience, "Haha, it seems that God is also very surprised." I want to know which group Crystal Palace will be assigned to quickly, I was drawn out so soon! So, which group will Crystal Palace be assigned next?" [

Hearing what Lampard said on the rostrum, and walking towards the other side of the draw table, where the group numbers were drawn, the hearts of most team leaders at the scene were raised in their throats!

Why most?Some teams have already given up early, why don't they think about this Champions League again?Of course not, the fundamental reason why some people are not worried is one of the rules of the lottery - the principle of avoidance of the same country in the group stage!

That's right, it is this rule that makes Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea, who are also from the Premier League, not at all concerned about where the Crystal Palace will be assigned!

No, anyway, after the group stage, the round of 16 will be re-drawn. At this time, it is impossible for Crystal Palace to come to their own group. He likes to go wherever he likes, doesn't he?

Looking back at the rostrum, I saw the commentator on the rostrum. At this time, he once again mentioned the same country's evasion of the lottery rules. Immediately afterwards, the groups containing Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Group E, Group g balls were taken out of the glass bowl!

And following the action of the guest commentator, it directly means that the Crystal Palace, where Li Yi is located, will be assigned to the next group, which is relatively clear!

Is it going to Group B where Inter Milan is?Or Barcelona's group?Or Bayern's group?Or the weakest group Lyon Group F?

No, no, no, neither!I saw Lampard, the guest of honor at the lottery draw, take out the group number representing the gas meter Crystal Palace will go to from the glass bowl, and after unscrewing it, there was a sound of mourning immediately at the scene!

group h!

Looking at the H group of notes in Lampard's hand that looked very eye-catching at this moment, for no reason, Li Yi was angry!

Similarly, after seeing that Crystal Palace was actually drawn into Group H, the representatives of Real Madrid were also angry, and the representatives of Juventus and Zenit St. Petersburg, who were also victims, were also angry!

It is not an exaggeration to say that the UEFA Champions League in 08, in terms of the group stage alone, is far from having so many grievances and grievances in later generations.

Let's take the lottery of the first three grades as an example!It can be said that, in fact, the draw for this UEFA Champions League has basically been announced, and there is no possibility of a death group!Even if, the Crystal Palace where Li Yi is located is a good spoiler.However, in such a situation where the strength of the 7 groups is obviously very different and there is only one top team, even if UEFA wants to operate a death group, there is really little room for them to operate. explain!

However, who would have thought?UEFA really will not be the most shameful today, only the more shameful spirit will be carried forward to the limit, and by the way, the Premier League will also be hit to the limit.

However, although the guests sitting in the audience now know that UEFA must have manipulated this draw, but most of the people on the scene are the beneficiaries, and only a few people are tragic. At this time, Real Madrid and Juventus have no evidence Go and confirm your conjecture, then, this lottery is the only way to go!

With the European upstart Crystal Palace being drawn out, the following draw turned into a mere formality. Soon, all the participating teams in the 8 groups were formed!

Its grouping situation is as follows:

Group: Chelsea, Roma, Bordeaux, Cluj

Group B: Inter Milan, Bremen, Panathinaikos, Anorthosis

Group: Barcelona, ​​Villarreal, Basel, Shakhtar Donetsk

Group: Bayern Munich, PSV, Fiorentina, Atletico Madrid

Group E: Manchester United, Villarreal, Celtic, Aalborg

Group F: Lyon, Sporting Lisbon, Steaua Bucharest, Polynos

Group G: Arsenal, Porto, Fenerbahce, Dynamo Kiev

Group H: Real Madrid, Juventus, Zenit St Petersburg, Crystal Palace

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------

At the scene, after the draw ceremony was officially over, it came to the dinner session.It's time to hand out the European Player of the Year 08 awards!

First of all, it is natural for candidates to take the stage.

Along with Luo and Messi, they went to the rostrum together and stood with the two stars at close range. Although Li Yi's self-confidence attributes are very against the sky, it is inevitable to be excited!

This is really not a joke. Confidence is self-confidence. Confident people do not mean that they will not be excited.On the contrary, since Li Yizhen was just a star chasing dick in his previous life, waiting for Li Yizhen to stand with the two emperors on the spot, waiting for Platini to present the award to himself, this kind of excitement is really not humane.

After finally stabilizing his mood, he took a sneak peek at the two people beside him. Li Yi, who was excited because he was standing with his two favorite football stars in his previous life, felt upset!

Looking at the two people beside him, and posing as a "star" who owed them 2 million, Li Yi couldn't help complaining in his heart, "Cut, isn't it just stealing your prize? It's necessary to do this Is it? It's like dead parents!"

In fact, Li Yi didn't even think about it. If he didn't win the award in the end today, and even knew that he was destined to be a companion before the lottery, would he still have the free and easy mood he is now?Come to think of it, there is no player in the world who is willing to be a green leaf and make a wedding dress for others, right?
