On August 31, at 18:00 local time in Monaco, at the Grimaldi Convention and Exhibition Center, with UEFA press officer Pedro Pinto and hostess Choudhury taking the stage, the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League group draw was held
And the award ceremony is about to begin.
"This year's lottery award ceremony, as usual, still invited many big names in football, such as the retired heartthrob Beckham, Brazilian god Kaká, Carlos, one of the representatives of violent aesthetics, and others.
In addition, most of the 32 team clubs’ head coaches are here.”
In order to let Chinese fans know the results of this lottery award ceremony as soon as possible, and whether Mo Yang will defeat his strong opponent and win the UEFA Best in the three major individual awards in world football, the domestic pp sports broadcast it live, with Su Dong
Let Zhan Jun explain.
At 18:23, looking down from the back of the exhibition hall to the entrance passage on the right side of the camera, a group of male models in suits and ties suddenly poured in.
"Liverpool is coming!"
"Wow, Yang Shen is so handsome today!"
"Why are so many people coming to Liverpool?"
"Idiot, don't you know that a large group of people from Liverpool have been shortlisted for the best in various awards?"
"..."
Seeing the six Liverpool players headed by Klopp and Henry walk into the convention and exhibition center and take their seats in the first and second rows, the barrage of friends in the live broadcast room suddenly accelerated.
Mo Yang's seat was next to the aisle on the right side of the first row in the middle. After sitting down, he looked around and muttered, "Didn't the talkative guy say he's coming?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Cristiano Ronaldo in a black suit with white lining walking into the entrance, and Mo Yang suddenly grinned.
Coincidentally, Cristiano Ronaldo's seat is on the far left in the first row on the right, and also the first seat next to the aisle. He and Mo Yang are like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, with an aisle in between.
Mo Yang and Ronaldo looked at each other after sitting down, then grinned.
Then the two guys ignored each other, turned around to face each other, leaned forward with their elbows on their knees, and started chatting together in the aisle.
Some people in the exhibition hall laughed kindly when they saw the familiar appearance of the two.
Klopp, who was in the second row behind Mo Yang, felt a little embarrassed. He quietly poked Mo Yang, but seeing that Mo Yang didn't notice, he had to let him go.
"Sister Di! Are Brother Yang and Ronaldo familiar?"
Mushroom House, Xiaodi and the others were also watching the awards ceremony in the living room.
Hearing Zhang Zifeng's words, Xiao Di smiled and said helplessly: "We are familiar, so familiar. These two have the same chemistry and work out together every day. During the few days we got married, I had the illusion that the bride was Ronaldo."
!”
"Ha ha……"
In the living room, Huang Lei He Jiong and guest Tong Ya were all staggering with laughter.
"Xiao Di, did Yangzi say how likely he is to win the prize?" Huang Lei stopped laughing and asked, "For example, is there any inside information?"
"Is this award very powerful?" Tong Ya is a little ignorant. She doesn't know much about football, but one of the hottest topics online and offline in China recently is whether Mo Yang can win the UEFA Best Player. Mo Yang is already in
It has been on trending searches for nearly a week.
"It's amazing! Although the three major individual awards in world football are not as good as the Ballon d'Or, they are still very valuable," Huang Lei explained.
"He said he didn't know!" Xiao Di shook her head, but in fact she knew.
Perret found out the news through some connections that Cristiano Ronaldo's rating is much lower than that of Mo Yang and Modric, so this award is either for Mo Yang or Modric, but there are some things that are difficult to say on the show.
Not long after, at 18:30, with the exciting Champions League theme song playing in the live broadcast, the lottery award ceremony officially began.
The first award was the UEFA President's Special Award. After it was awarded to Beckham, Kaká and Uruguay international Forlan took the stage as guests of the draw.
Then comes the second award, the best goalkeeper of the 17-18 season.
Alisson, who was sitting in the second row, knew that he was out of luck the moment he saw Navas's highlights of the Champions League saves appearing on the big screen behind Choudhury, the hostess holding the Champions League spherical trophy.
After Navas stepped down after accepting the award, the host left. UEFA Secretary General George and Competition Director Mike came on stage to officially enter the group draw process.
Seeing the two men on stage standing next to Kakaflan, the head coaches of various clubs present in the audience subconsciously moved, and the atmosphere became tense.
This group draw, to put it bluntly, will determine the fate of many underdog teams in the Champions League.
Those with less luck will basically stop at the group stage.
After a series of introductions, the camera showed the divisions of the 32 teams.
In the new season of the Champions League, some old faces have returned, such as Manchester United and PSV Eindhoven, and there are also some new faces, such as Victory Plzen and AEK Athens.
"Head, who do you want to draw!" After staring at the list on the big screen for a while, Mo Yang looked back at Klopp.
"Young men, Bruges, Plzen victory, AEK Athens!" Klopp said with a smile.
The corner of Mo Yang's mouth twitched a few times, with a look of disgust on his face. Klopp gave him a knowing look, and Mo Yang immediately retreated, refusing to argue with the coward.
Not long after, the eight first-tier teams were placed in each group.
Liverpool was the last one to be drawn, and then was drawn into Group C by Forlan.
After Liverpool was drawn, the first stage of the draw ceremony ended and the awards ceremony entered again.
The second award is the UEFA Best Defender Award.
There are three candidates, namely Van Dijk, Ramos and Marcelo.
“virgil van dijk!
!
"
Under Choudhury's mysterious exclamation, Van Dijk's wonderful defense in the Champions League game appeared on the big screen.
The moment Choudhury called out Van Dijk's name, the eyes of the tough man on the court turned red.
Van Dijk stood up amidst the applause of the crowd and hugged Klopp, Mo Yang and others one by one.
When it was Mo Yang's turn, Van Dyke hugged her hard and held on for a long time.
After Van Dyke came on stage, he took the trophy from Chowdhury, was teased by the two hosts in turn, and then began to deliver his acceptance speech.
"At this moment, I am very happy that Arsenal did not choose me!"
As soon as he said this, bursts of laughter suddenly broke out in the exhibition hall, making Arsenal's chairman and football director a little embarrassed.
The story between Van Dijk and Arsenal has long been revealed by the media. Fans of the Gunners' rivals no longer laugh at Arsenal for choosing the latter between Van Dijk and Gabriel.
"Otherwise I will miss out on Liverpool. This is a young and energetic team and I am honored to be a part of it!"
"Here, I also want to thank someone!"
"Positive!"
"It was he who helped me quickly adapt to life in Liverpool, and it was also he who helped me quickly integrate into the team..."
At this time, Van Dijk, who was in a state of excitement, told the truth that coming to Liverpool was the most correct choice for him.
But it's not Jurgen Klopp who brought him to Anfield that he is most grateful for.
But Mo Yang.
Without Mo Yang, he would not have integrated into the team's locker room so quickly. Without Mo Yang's tireless explanation, he would not have understood Klopp's tactical system so quickly, and he would not have been reused by Klopp.
After Van Dijk finished his brief speech to receive the award, the second-tier team drawing ceremony continued.
Not long after, Group B: Barcelona, Manchester City...
Seeing that Manchester City and Barcelona were drawn together, the smile on Klopp's face looked a bit gloating.
"Shut up!
!”
Seeing Mo Yang turning back and rolling his eyes at him, Klopp immediately thought of Mo Yang's crow-like mouth and sprayed Mo Yang back.
Mo Yang smiled helplessly, looking at the two smiling faces of Guardiola and De Bruyne in the camera that switched back and forth on the big screen on the stage. He felt a little sorry for Manchester City, sympathized with Guagua, and sympathized with his old rival De Bruyne.
Inside.
Although Barcelona's strength has declined significantly since winning the championship in the 2014-15 season, they are still one of the best clubs on the planet with the Argentinian football champion. Manchester City got off to a bad start and drew a low lottery.
