Legendary Godfather

Before the results of the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League group draw came out, the results of the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League best team selection also came out, and the best player also came out.

The best lineup of the UEFA Champions League for the 2010-2011 season is as follows

Best lineup formation 442

goalkeeper van der sar

Defenders from left to right Marcelo, Vidic, Pique, Srna

Midfielder from left to right: Bale, Giggs, Iniesta, Goldfish Eyes

Forwards Raul, Messi

The best goalkeeper is the Dutchman Edwin van der Sar. Van der Sar is the goalkeeper of Manchester United, the runner-up in the Champions League last season. His serve is very good, and he even overshadowed Barcelona's Valdes. This made Van der Sar. Got this award.

Van der Sar played 46 times for Manchester United in the 2010-2011 season, keeping opponents clean 21 times, helping Manchester United win the Premier League championship and the Champions League runner-up, and still maintains a very good condition. At the time of the last Champions League final, Van der Sar was exactly 40 years and 211 days old, becoming the oldest goalkeeper to participate in the Champions League final.

However, he still maintained a very good condition, but after the end of last season, he chose to retire and left football. And he rejected the invitation from Manchester United and returned directly to the Netherlands to start his retirement life.

De Gea officially took over Edwin van der Sar's jersey and became Manchester United's number one goalkeeper.

The best defender award went to Barcelona's centre-back Pique, the best midfielder award went to Barcelona's Iniesta, and the best forward award naturally came to Barcelona's forward Messi.

Barcelona became the big winner!

Of course, the highlight of the evening is the "Best Player in Europe" award.

In fact, this award is the new "European Footballer" award, but the selection method and name have been changed. In fact, there is not much difference in meaning. This award is naturally very important.

Because the previous "European Footballer" award has been merged with the World Footballer award, it was combined into the "FIFA Ballon d'Or", also known as "FIFA Footballer".

However, UEFA President Platini is unwilling to see the demise of the "European Footballer" award, and he is also unwilling to see FIFA become the dominant player. Therefore, he proposed and launched a "Best Player in Europe" award. In fact, this is the new "European Footballer" award.

Platini and the others cooperated with the European Sports Media Federation, who became the main judging agency, and then voted by sports media reporters in 53 European countries. Each reporter had a three-person list, and the first choice player received 5 points. The second-choice player gets 3 points, the third-choice player gets 1 point, and three people are selected to advance to the finals.

The three candidates were voted on by 53 reporters at the scene, each with one vote, and the candidate with the most votes won the election.

"European Player of the Year".

The selection of this award was conducted at the UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony for the 2011-2012 season. After the grouping is over, the award will be selected.

Tong Yi sat below and watched the scene.

Of course, this award has nothing to do with him, because none of his players were selected and were eliminated as early as the first round.

The players who entered the final three candidate lists this time are Barcelona's Messi, Barcelona's Xavi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.

Tong Yi saw these three people at close range.

During the voting for the selection, the host at the scene also interviewed three people respectively, which made the atmosphere at the scene very tense.

Finally, the person who won this year's "Best European Player" is Barcelona's Messi!

Messi was elected with 38 votes, Xavi received 11 votes, while Cristiano Ronaldo only received 3 votes, and one person chose to abstain from voting.

Maybe the person who abandoned the vote felt that none of these three people deserved to win this year's European Player of the Year.

Messi performed very well in the past season. He played 55 times in various competitions for Barcelona, ​​scoring 53 goals and 24 assists. He helped Barcelona win three championships: La Liga, UEFA Champions League and Spanish Super Cup. His performance was amazing.

After Messi won the FIFA Ballon d'Or, he also won the "Best Player in Europe" award.

Messi is really the biggest winner.

This also illustrates one thing from the side, that is, Barcelona is really very strong now and can be called the European hegemon.

At this time, Tong Yi's Munich 1860 will face Barcelona in the European Super Cup. This is a very huge challenge for Munich 1860.

But now Tong Yi's attention is not on this game, nor on Barcelona. But on the results of the UEFA Champions League group stage draw for the 2011-2012 season!

This lottery is really a scam!

Tong Yi can be said to be the most unlucky guy in this draw. They were drawn into the super death group.

They were assigned to Group A, in the same group as Villarreal, Manchester City and Naples.

This group is composed of teams from the four major European leagues. It can be called one of the deadliest groups in the Champions League in the past ten years.

Although there are no champion teams in the four major European leagues in this group, they are all very capable. Let’s not talk about Villarreal. In recent years, their performance has been very good. They have participated in the UEFA Champions League many times and reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in the 2005-2006 season. It can be said that these four This team has the best performance in the UEFA Champions League in recent years.

Although Manchester City is participating in the Champions League for the first time in nearly 42 years, no one can underestimate them. They were even judged as the team with the highest winning probability among the group.

Because Manchester City finished third in the Premier League last season and also won the FA Cup. The strength is very strong. And this summer, they have introduced stars such as Clichy, Aguero and Nasri. Their strength has increased significantly. It can be said that Manchester City is the strongest team in this group. Even the number of stars in their team ranks among the top three in Europe, which is very sharp.

Their only drawback is that they are participating in the Champions League for the first time in nearly 42 years, which is so unfamiliar to them. Last season they played in the UEFA Cup, but they were eliminated in the group stage and didn't perform well. ??

However, this season they have introduced a lot of powerful players and spent a lot of money to improve their strength. Obviously, they also want to improve in the Champions League.

The Naples team is also very strong, and the owner behind their team is also very wealthy. Although they are not crazy about recruiting people in the transfer market, their lineup is not as good. In particular, their frontline trident was also very amazing, causing Serie A to fall into disarray. For a period of time, Naples even had a chance to win the Serie A championship. In the end, they finished third, but their strength was not enough. vulgar.

Tong Yi is very concerned about Naples' trident of Hamsik, Lavezzi and Cavani, especially Cavani, who is a real scoring machine. Especially in the past few years, he has scored goals like It's as simple as drinking water.

This team cannot be underestimated!

Munich 1860 is also a strong team. Although they were promoted to the Bundesliga last season. But after the end of the season, they won the runner-up in the Bundesliga, the German Cup champion and the Europa League champion.

Logically speaking, in terms of strength, they should definitely enter the first level. However, they have not appeared in the European competition for many years and do not have many points in the European competition, so they are classified as a fourth-tier team. It's the reason why they are in the fourth level that creates this super death group.

This is the most veritable group of death.

When he saw this group being divided into groups, Tong Yi's expression dropped.

I am speechless about this group.

I really don’t want Munich 1860 to have any achievements in the UEFA Champions League!

This season's UEFA Champions League final will be held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. This was originally an honor and opportunity for Munich 1860. But obviously, there is almost no chance now.

It is now difficult for Munich 1860 to qualify from this group. How can it be possible to advance to the finals and then win the cup at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany? This is simply impossible. If it were Bayern Munich, it would be possible.

It is a pity that Bayern Munich ranked fourth in the Bundesliga last season and did not get the chance to enter the UEFA Champions League. The Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund, runners-up 1860 Munich and third-placed Bayer Leverkusen are advancing to the UEFA Champions League.

Compared to Munich 1860, the situation of the other two Bundesliga teams is slightly better, but not much better. They are both in a situation comparable to a group of death.

Dortmund is in a group with Arsenal, Marseille and Olympiacos. This group is also a very difficult group for Dortmund. Although Olympiacos is not strong, it is not particularly easy to play. Then they have to compete with Arsenal and Marseille for promotion spots, which is still a bit difficult.

Dortmund may be able to advance, but it will be very difficult and may even be squeezed out.

Leverkusen's situation is even worse. They are in a group with Chelsea, Valencia and Genk. Belgium's Genk should be a good scorer, and Leverkusen should have no problem defeating them. But neither Chelsea nor Valencia is easy to play. If Leverkusen encounters these two teams, it is almost impossible for them to have any hope of advancing.

Therefore, as soon as this group came out, all the German media were silent.

They feel that this season's UEFA Champions League is really unfriendly to Bundesliga teams, and it is even very likely that all Bundesliga teams will be eliminated at the end of the group stage.

They are really not optimistic about these teams, especially Munich 1860. Hernandez and others believe that Munich 1860 is already too cold and 100 will be eliminated.

To be honest, Tong Yi himself felt a lot of pressure. However, he didn't panic and fought one game at a time. They might not have a chance.

Then, he set his sights on the upcoming European Super Cup.

After all, what awaits them in front is the defending champion of the UEFA Champions League, the giant Barcelona with FIFA Ballon d'Or and European Player of the Year double Footballer Messi. This game is not easy to play.
