Chapter 240: Champions League Knockout Draw Ceremony, European Golden Boy Award Ceremony
Chapter 240: Champions League knockout draw ceremony, European Golden Boy Award Ceremony!
December 12, the sixth round of the Champions League group stage.
Manchester United played against Lyon. After both teams had qualified in advance and the group rankings were determined, neither team had a main lineup, allowing the youth players to have a training match.
The final result was Manchester United 3-2 Lyon, with Greenwood scoring twice and James scoring one goal.
The latter is a midfielder for Manchester United's U18 team, with good propulsion and offensive abilities. He was still Chu Feng's teammate in the youth team, but their current status is completely different.
At present, Manchester United has redundant midfielders, McTominay, Kovacic and others are unable to play in the game. Even if James can enter the first team, I am afraid he will only sit on the bench.
Therefore, Mourinho decided to loan James to Everton for training during the winter window, and the latter naturally had no reason to refuse.
Late at night, the Champions League group stage came to an end, and the top 16 roster was released. The media rushed to report it, for fear of being robbed of traffic by others.
Fans of other clubs also started discussing it.
-
[Why is Porto still ranked first in the group? 】
-
[Their team is full of bad guys, such as Galatasaray and other second-rate teams. Manchester United easily beat them 3-0! 】
-
[Atletico Madrid, Tottenham, Liverpool, and Juventus are all second in the group. Three of them have entered the semi-finals of the Champions League in recent years. Atletico Madrid and Juventus have also played in the finals. This is full of drama! 】
-
[There are only two weak teams in the second place, Ajax and Schalke 04. 】
-
[To be honest, you really shouldn’t underestimate Ajax. Their head coach Ten Hag is very talented. Onana, the team’s goalkeeper, is known as Neuer’s successor. He is only 19 years old. The 3-year-old captain De Ligt, as well as De Jong and Ziyech, a young and powerful central axis, can all score 3- with Bayern! 】
-
[Indeed, I watched their game and found that the lineup would be complete if they only lacked one explosive winger. 】
-
[I hope Manchester United can draw Schalke 04. 】
-
[That’s so boring, it’s better to draw Juventus, Ronaldo and Xiao Chu will meet in advance! 】
-
[Please don’t, Juventus is in a very hot state recently. 】
-
[Hello Atletico Madrid, give Felipe another beating, I think he will be angry! 】
-
[Manchester United has too many schedules in February, so it is best to draw a weak team, otherwise it will easily lead to a complete collapse. 】
-
[By the way, the Golden Boy Awards ceremony is coming soon. Who do you think will win the Golden Boy Award? 】
-
[Do you still need to ask? Of course it’s Xiao Chu! 】
-
【.】
Kovac's face instantly turned black, and he obviously couldn't accept the result of the draw.
He thought that if he played for a few more years, his connections would probably spread all over the five major leagues, and he would be invited to dinner at any away game.
It can be said that Garcia lifted Liverpool into the final!
But today it seems that I want to draw one for my old club.
George also took out a small ball.
Besides, Manchester United still has a BUG-level figure.
"Liverpool!"
Mourinho is still thinking about how to rotate players.
Chu Feng was surrounded by the eyes of many players, probably sighing that his mouth was open, otherwise how could he say anything?
However, they are somewhat gloating. If last season's Champions League champion falls in the round of 16, Manchester United will bear the laughter in the next few years, and may even be questioned about the gold content of last season's Champions League champion.
Accompanied by crazy flashing spotlights!
After all, VAR will have a certain impact on the team's tactics, such as causing offside, tactical fouls, etc.
"I feel okay." Chu Feng said with a smile.
He is interested in personal branding, but not much.
Even though Atletico Madrid's recent record is very good, Manchester United has not stood still. Don't look at Manchester United's recent stumbling in the Champions League and league. This is a normal phenomenon under Mourinho's rotation system.
B: Barcelona, Tottenham
On the 20th, we will rush to the United Arab Emirates to participate in the 2018 Club World Cup semi-finals. Manchester United will face Kashima Antlers of the Japanese Professional League.
And according to UEFA's usual behavior, it prefers the draw results with the highest traffic.
Since the result has been determined, there is no point in complaining anymore. It is better to focus on training.
"Chu, I saw your personal brand plan, and I can indeed start with clothing and start a small-scale cooperation with Puma." Mendes rubbed his sore eyebrows, "When I finish busy with Chris, I will I’ll help you negotiate with Puma as soon as possible.”
"I guess that fat guy Raiola will regret it to death!" Mendes said secretly in his heart.
He was extremely lucky that he had lowered his profile and not only took advantage of the relationship between Manchester United and Mourinho, but also personally went to find Chu Feng, who was still unknown.
Although the league record is acceptable, the Bundesliga is dominated by Bayern.
"Let's go to Schalke 04, they look the weakest." De Bruyne was not polite and directly chose to sign.
G: Real Madrid, Roma
It's just that the Club World Cup is not very valuable. Manchester United is basically at an absolute advantage and does not need to field its full lineup.
Soon, other club representative players also arrived. Cristiano Ronaldo still had the same cold face, Salah's afro was shaking, and De Bruyne, Neymar and others who had just met a few days ago.
"Let's go, the award ceremony will start soon." Mendes patted Chu Feng on the shoulder.
There are also Valverde and Santiago with smiles on their faces. Although Lyon and Ajax are not weak, they are much better than Tottenham, Juventus, Roma and other teams. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are big gifts.
The venue suddenly became noisy, and even though everyone knew the news in advance, they still couldn't help but discuss it in low voices.
"Hello." Chu Feng took out his mobile phone from his pocket and exchanged contact information with Vinicius.
Chu Feng said hello to everyone, except Simeone and Griezmann. He really had no interest in Atletico Madrid people.
"Chu, are you going to Turin later?" Dericht came over, "We should be on the same flight."
Simeone felt his temples beating wildly. He really didn't want to meet Manchester United in the 1/8 finals.
Soon the two arrived at the OGR venue, where stars were already gathering.
But since he has no coaching experience at a wealthy club, he was somewhat acclimated when he first came to Bayern.
Moreover, even if Chu Feng wanted to play, he couldn't because at that time, he was supposed to attend the European Golden Boy Award Ceremony in Turin.
"Chu, that punch you made was so cool. I've long been unhappy with Felipe. He makes big moves when playing football, and he also engages in racial discrimination intentionally or unintentionally." Vinicius' tone was full of admiration.
As the pieces of paper were displayed one after another, the results of the Champions League knockout rounds were announced!
All eyes are on the LED screen.
Although he is one year younger than Chu Feng, he was discovered by Real Madrid early, but he had no chance to play last season. Now that Cristiano Ronaldo has left Real Madrid for Juventus, Vinicius has become Real Madrid's future star.
Simone snorted coldly when he saw this and sat down in his seat.
12 month 17 day.
"The main reason is that Cardiff City is relatively weak, otherwise we wouldn't be able to win 5-1." Chu Feng answered modestly. Although he only played 52 minutes in today's game, he used set kicks and corner kicks in the first half. Opportunity and scored two headers.
With Bayern's current strength, if they have to go head-to-head with Liverpool, it is estimated that the result will not be very good.
However, the fatigue of traveling and traveling has a great impact on the players' condition, and Mourinho is now extremely worried.
As the winner of the Champions League last season, Manchester United attracted a lot of attention and gained a large number of fans.
After the match between Manchester United and Cardiff City, Chu Feng boarded a flight to Nyon, Switzerland, and Mourinho was traveling with him.
Very tight schedule.
But the crux of the matter is that Manchester United still has a league game on the 24th, playing away against Liverpool.
Then the Manchester United players became hotter, and Lingard also scored two goals and one assist.
Previously, due to a large amount of sports media hype, the outside world knew that Chu Feng wanted to meet Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, but no one took Chu Feng's words seriously at that time. Who knew that Chu Feng's dream would come true today.
"Well, let's let the teams from both sides contact each other in advance, and then inspect the Chinese and European markets." Chu Feng took a sip of coffee.
The streets and alleys are full of football elements. Although Serie A has declined due to economic reasons, the football atmosphere among the people has not decreased but has increased.
The spotlight next to him was also flashing.
Chu Feng didn't have much idea.
111.253.200.161
C: Paris, Liverpool
D: Porto, Schalke 04
E: Bayern, Ajax
Chiellini, Nedved, Maldini and other Italian football giants attended, as well as rising stars from the five major leagues.
The coach’s representative seat is not far away.
"Congratulations to Juventus player Gliona for winning the European Women's Golden Boy Award!"
In the friendly match between Manchester United and Ajax at the beginning of the season, the two exchanged jerseys and contact information, and occasionally liked each other on social platforms. The relationship was pretty good.
It is a pity that there is no dark horse entering the knockout rounds this year, because the performance of every wealthy club is stable enough.
Chu Feng looked at his photos carefully and recalled the first time he came here. The person on the Manchester United poster was still Pogba. At that time, he was still an insignificant young player, and even his seat was arranged at the end of the venue.
Group A: Dortmund, Atletico Madrid
After Marchetti finished reading his speech, he continued: "The video referee system (VAR) will be introduced in the knockout stages of the Champions League this season!"
Unexpectedly, in just over a year, he has already been compared with football superstars and even won the Player of the Year award.
Chu Feng put on a professional smile and waved enthusiastically.
H: Manchester City, Juventus
In the year of the Miracle in Istanbul, the world only remembered the tragedy of AC Milan, but no one noticed how Liverpool reached the final.
The opening was still a nonsense speech, and the players in the audience started whispering.
"Bayern Munich!"
The former has won seven consecutive Serie A titles.
On both sides of the red carpet are posters of representatives of the top 16 clubs.
If we can win against Kashima Antlers, there will be a final in three days.
F: Manchester United, Lyon
Mourinho's mood is not much better either. He really does what he fears. Atletico Madrid is not just a cat or a dog. Who in the world can draw with Barcelona and beat Real Madrid?
Manchester United's schedule is already tight and they still have to play two high-intensity games.
Garcia's expression turned serious instantly.
On the players’ bench.
"By the way, I heard from the media that the 2017 FIFA cover figures, Ronaldo, Hazard, Martial and Reus, have all declined in personal strength. How do you feel?" Mourinho In private, he is completely different from at work. He is not strict and strict, and he occasionally makes jokes.
Atletico Madrid fans are also beginning to feel uneasy, because they may really be drawn against Manchester United, and maybe the road to the Champions League will end here.
Maybe the Champions League final will be staged early.
Three hours later, the plane landed in Switzerland.
Atletico Madrid is still the kind of team that is dirty to the core. Players will definitely be injured during the game, which will inevitably have a negative impact on Manchester United's league and cup competitions.
Not long after, the drawing ceremony officially began.
The two talked about the EFL Cup match on the 19th again, and Mourinho made it clear that Chu Feng did not need to play.
Guardiola smiled very happily, they drew the only three "weak teams".
"My performance was pretty good today, and I scored two more goals," Mourinho said casually.
UEFA's position division is very strange. Guardiola, Allegri and Ten Hag sit close to each other, and the heads of the three of them look so dazzling under the soft light.
UEFA Deputy Secretary-General Marchetti hosted the event, and French female football star Laura George and ambassador of the final venue Luis Garcia served as guests.
After boarding the commercial vehicle prepared by UEFA, the master and apprentice arrived in Nyon again. When they arrived at the UEFA headquarters, they were already surrounded by a sea of people.
When the venue quieted down again, as the UEFA Champions League theme song sounded, the staff carried the glass tank containing the balls onto the field.
Garcia pulled out a small ball and showed the note inside to the camera.
"Kevin, who do you think you can draw?" Chu Feng turned to look at De Bruyne on the right. He always felt that Manchester City was very lucky, or that Guardiola was very lucky.
After the end of last season, Heynckes made it clear that he would not renew his contract, so Bayern found Frankfurt's Kovac.
"Haha, I wish you good luck!" Chu Feng said with a smile.
Because he knows Bayern too well.
After a while, Foden, Kluivert and others all joined Chu Feng's small circle.
Vinicius witnessed the rise of Chu Feng last season, and naturally regarded Chu Feng as the target to catch up.
Klopp adjusted his glasses and wasn't too worried.
Since the Champions League knockout draw ceremony and the European Golden Boy Award Ceremony were held only one day apart, everyone did not attend the subsequent events and instead embarked on a flight to Turin, Italy.
-
The next day, Turin, as the third largest city in Italy, Turin has a profound history and humanities. There are two Serie A teams here, Juventus and Turin.
As soon as Mourinho and Chu Feng walked out of the airport lobby, they saw many fans wearing Manchester United jerseys waving wildly at them outside the cordon.
Only by playing against each other on the field can we understand how powerful Manchester United is.
Garcia scored three goals in two games against Leverkusen in the round of 16, Garcia scored against Juventus in the quarter-finals, and Garcia scored a ghost goal against Chelsea in the semi-finals.
"Well, let's go together then?" Chu Feng quite liked De Ligt's character.
It can't help but make people sigh.
While the two were chatting, a little black egg came over and said, "Hello, I am Vinicius."
Besides, it's Atletico Madrid who should be panicking, after all, Manchester United just beat them.
Now his focus is still on football. After all, that is his foundation. Winning the championship is easier than any pyramid scheme.
"Congratulations to Mendes for winning the Best Player Agent Award in Europe!"
"Congratulations to Manchester United player Chu for winning the 2018 European Golden Boy Award!"
