But within a short time, Paris Saint-Germain was drawn into Group C.
Suddenly the exhibition hall burst into laughter again.
Group C: Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain...
Seeing Paris Saint-Germain being drawn into Group C, Mo Yang's mouth twitched. He personally felt that Liverpool was more unlucky than Manchester City. PSG, with Neymar and Mbappe, would only be more difficult to deal with than Barcelona.
If they play against Barcelona, they only need to deal with Messi to silence Barcelona.
And Paris Saint-Germain, although they can deal with Neymar, may not be able to deal with that magical turtle.
Klopp looked at the back of Mo Yang's head and screamed speechless. This crow's mouth was so powerful even if he didn't even say it. If he did say it, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Seeing Liverpool and Paris drawn together, it was Guardiola and De Bruyne's turn to laugh secretly.
Guardiola feels that Klopp is worse than him. As the person who personally created the third Barcelona dream dynasty, he knows very well where Barcelona's weaknesses and Achilles' heel are.
If Xavi and Iniesta were there, maybe he would be afraid, but now, Manchester City is not afraid of Barcelona at all.
Especially this season, after the introduction of Bai Lele, a forward who can play both sides, the last piece of the puzzle in his tactical system can be said to be in place. They are capable in both sports battles and tough battles.
But Klopp may not know the weaknesses of Paris.
So in such a comparison, Guardiola feels that he has won completely!
But suddenly the camera turned away, and Guardiola's smiling face appeared on the big screen. Reminiscent of Klopp's meaningful smile earlier, it immediately caused all the guests in the exhibition hall to burst into laughter again.
Liverpool and Manchester City, Klopp and Guardiola, two equally divided title rivals, have had really bad luck this season.
Being sent against such a powerful opponent will consume most of the team's energy in order to break out.
And if you are unlucky, even if you successfully break through, the team's lineup will be in a semi-disabled state.
Klopp leaned forward and looked at Guardiola in the middle on the left. Guardiola happened to look over as well. The two looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
After the draw of the second-tier teams, the highlight related to Mo Yang came.
UEFA Best Midfielder Award.
If Mo Yang can win this award, it means that there is a high probability that the UEFA Player of the Year Award will also be his, otherwise he will return empty-handed.
Seeing Choudhury and Pedro reappearing on the stage, Modric, who was in the same row as Mo Yang, put down his crossed legs, straightened his back and adjusted his sitting posture.
De Bruyne, who was sitting next to Modric, looked very relaxed. He obviously knew very well that he couldn't compete with Modric and Mo Yang.
"Yang Mo!"
“tions!
"
Along with Chowdhury's congratulations, Mo Yang's highlights from the Champions League appeared on the big screen on stage.
Suddenly the exhibition hall burst into warm applause.
With a smile on his face, Mo Yang straightened his suit and stood up. He passed by Luo Sansui. When he saw Ronaldo blatantly stretching out his leg to trip him, Mo Yang was so happy that he became more playful and cooperated and jumped over.
The interaction between the two once again caused laughter in the exhibition hall.
"Congratulations to Mo Yang for being the best midfielder in UEFA. From the looks of it, the UEFA Player of the Year is probably gone too!"
"Domestic and foreign media have conducted analysis before the game. There is a high probability that this award will be won between Mo Yang and Modric."
"And now Mo Yang has won UEFA's Best Midfielder, which means that Mo Yang defeated Modric in the midfield position, so there is a high probability that the UEFA Player of the Year Award will be him!" See
Mo Yang, Su Dong and Zhan Jun, who were on stage to receive the award, looked very excited as they talked to each other.
Putting aside the UEFA Player of the Year award, even the best midfielder is now an incredible honor for Chinese football.
After Mo Yang went on stage to receive the award, he entered the lottery process again.
After a while, the third-tier teams from the 8 groups entered the pit one after another.
In Group B, Manchester City was assigned to PSV, while in Group C, Liverpool was not so lucky and was assigned to Naples.
These two teams, whether it is Barcelona and Manchester City or Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain, are also a tough nut to crack. If you are not careful, your teeth will break.
After the third draw, there were no surprises. Cristiano Ronaldo defeated Salah and won the Champions League Best Forward award for the sixth time.
More than ten minutes later, with the draw of the fourth pot of teams, all eight finishing groups for the 2018-19 season were born.
Group A: Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Monaco, Club Brugge
Group B: Barcelona, Manchester City, PSV, Inter Milan
Group C: Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli, Red Star Belgrade
Group D: Lokomotiv Moscow, Porto, Schalke 04, Galatasaray.
Group E: Bayern Munich, Benfica, Ajax, Aek Athens
Group F: Tottenham, Shakhtar Donetsk, Lyon, Hoffenheim
Group G: Real Madrid, Roma, CSKA Moscow, Victory Plzen
Group H: Juventus, Manchester United, Valencia, Young Boys
Group D can also be called the group of death, because the four teams are very balanced and everything is possible.
Compared with the rivals Real Madrid and Bayern, and the rivals Liverpool and Manchester City, their luck is much better.
Manchester United, who have returned to the Champions League in Group H, also have bad luck. Valencia is not easy to deal with. If they are not careful, they can be eliminated by Juventus and Valencia.
The luckiest team is Tottenham. They can be said to have basically booked a promotion spot.
Neither Shakhtar Donetsk, Lyon, nor Hoffenheim pose much of a threat to them, so it should be no problem to get a promotion spot.
After the group drawing ceremony, the remaining awards were awarded one after another.
Unsurprisingly, Klopp beat Zidane for the UEFA Best Coach award.
Then comes the highlight, the UEFA Player of the Year for the 2017-18 season, also known as the Silver Pants Award, is about to announce the final winner.
On the stage, Choudhury was the first to read Modric's name, which made Moyang's breath stagnant, and then he heard...
“Luka Modric 313 points”
"o Ronaldo 223 points"
"Yang Mo 318 points!"
"tions, yang mo!"
“Pap-pap-pap-pap!
!
!
"Suddenly the exhibition hall burst into warm applause!
“Congratulations to Mo Yang for winning the 2017-18 UEFA Player of the Year award!
!”
"This is also a historic breakthrough moment for our country's football!" Zhan Jun shouted.
…
After the awards ceremony, Mo Yang, Klopp and others rushed back to Liverpool overnight.
Because Liverpool will face their opponents in the fourth round of the Premier League at noon tomorrow, and it will also be the first game of the fourth round.
The opponent is Leicester City.
After a plane crash and the departure of meritorious players and head coaches, Leicester City has now stabilized after two seasons of continuous turmoil and ups and downs.
Leicester City started to rebound after hitting rock bottom last season. Now this team that has created miracles is something that no one in the Premier League dares to underestimate.
On the plane, when he saw that Salah was a little depressed, Mo Yang wanted to go up and comfort him, but he didn't know what to say.
Salah indeed broke multiple Premier League records last season, scoring a terrifying 34 goals in the league.
But in terms of goals in the Champions League, his 13 goals are ultimately not as good as Ronaldo's 16 goals.
Mo Yang feels that Salah has strong movement, but still needs to improve in terms of shooting and seizing opportunities.
Last season, whether in the Champions League or the Premier League, Salah actually wasted many shooting opportunities created for him by the team.
Even if it improves a little bit, he will never stop at the two numbers 34 and 13.
