"You really don't think about playing football at Manchester United anymore? There is still one day before the transfer window is closed..."

On the outside of the venue, a camera recorded such a scene.

Sir Alex Ferguson, the founder of Manchester United dynasty, was greeting each other with Long Shute, and the old Scottish man looked a little unwilling.

Through the system, Long Shute has seen Manchester United's 2012-13 season results: after the end of the season, they regained their own league championship from their city rival Manchester City, and then Ferguson, who had coached the team for 27 years, retired gloriously, and Manchester United entered a long period of turbulence...

Long Shute did not feel disgusted with Ferguson and his Manchester United. Instead, he admired the old man's legendary life very much, but he did not want to join this Red Devils.

In Ferguson's last year, Manchester United occupied a complete dominance in the Premier League, and the league was no longer difficult. If they hadn't had bad luck, they could have gone further.

But Long Shute is really tired of joining a dominant party like this - if he wants to win the league championship with his eyes closed, what is the difference between him and continuing to play for Bayern?

So he once again rejected Ferguson's invitation and moved the topic to the venue:

"Jazz, the ceremony is about to begin."

-

In addition to Ferguson, Long Shute met many acquaintances in the venue.

Mourinho, who coached Real Madrid for the third year, Allegri of AC Milan, Mancini of Manchester City, Ancelotti of Paris Saint-Germain, and Mazari of Naples, are all opponents he has defeated, and of course, there are also teams in the Bundesliga - Klopp of Dortmund and Stevens of Schalke 04 (former coach Ronnick was dismissed shortly after losing to Bayern...).

The candidates for the best player - Ronaldo and Messi - were both sitting next to Long Shute, but in fact everyone knew in their hearts that there was no suspense about this award.

As the lights dimmed, the stage curtain slowly opened and the ceremony officially began.

Two hosts - CNN's famous host Pedro Pinto, Miss Switzerland Granny Winniege briefly introduced the journey of the Champions League last season one by one. On the big screen behind them, the specially produced wonderful pictures flashed one by one with passionate music, among which Long Shute's figure occupied nearly half of the space.

As soon as I saw the host's name, many Real Madrid fans couldn't help but complain:

"Whoever says there is nothing wrong with UEFA and Barcelona, ​​I'm the first one to not believe it!"

——Pedro and Pinto are the names of Barcelona's winger and substitute goalkeepers. Pedro is good at playing the finals of various competitions, while Pinto is good at imitating the referee's whistle when the opponent's forward is counter-offside, so that the opponent's forward doubts his life...

Afterwards, the defending champion Bayern Munich captain Philip Ram slowly walked out with the championship trophy in his hand, putting the honor that symbolized the supremacy of European football in the center of the stage.

Bayern handed over the trophy and a new season began.

In the theme song of the Champions League, the guests responsible for drawing lots came out one after another - retired players at the level of football legend have always been qualified. Being able to participate in the draw lot can at least prove the historical status of one player.

The first appearance was one of the three Golden Ballers of Manchester United's revival, Scottish legend, Dennis Law, who is in his 70s, who is responsible for drawing the first team.

This goal machine built the golden age of Manchester United with Bobby Charlton and George Best in the 1960s. The three won the Golden Globe Awards one after another, making the Red Devils' name resound throughout Europe. However, after leaving Manchester United, he joined his arch rival Manchester City. Not only was he accused of being a traitor, but he also fought the old master in a critical derby battle in the first season, kicking his old club back to the second-level low-level league, making some Manchester United fans turn from love to hate him.

The second guest was McManaman, an English legend who once won the Champions League trophy with Real Madrid. He is also the Champions League ambassador this season. He is responsible for which group each team enters.

The third, fourth and five guests are the winner of the 1995 Golden Globe Awards, Liberian superstar, AC Milan legend George Via, and the Black Swan, who is also a Milan legend and one of the three Dutch musketeers, the 1987 Golden Globe Awards winner, Luther Gulit, and Juventus legend, the 2006 Golden Globe Awards winner, and the Italian national team captain Cannavaro. They are responsible for the draws of the second, third and fourth teams respectively.

The first seed teams are all top talents in leagues of various countries:

Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Porto, AC Milan, Benfica.

There are also strong teams in the second level, and the Premier League’s newest Blue Moon is a big highlight:

Valencia, Ajax, Donetsk miners, St. Petersburg Zenit, Schalke 04, Manchester City, Braga, Dynamo Kiev.

The third gear also has an old woman who returns to the Champions League after many years, Paris Saint-Germain, and Tottenham Hotspur, which has Bale:

Olympiacos, Tottenham, Anderlecht, Juventus, Sparta Moscow, Paris Saint-Germain, Fenerbahce, Lille.

The fourth gear is relatively weaker:

Borisov, Dynamo Zagreb, Cruges, Malaga, Montpellier, North Zeland, Celtic, Dortmund.

Under the gaze of global media and football enthusiasts, five football celebrities finally divided 32 teams into 8 groups after half an hour of hard work.

Group A: Porto, Dynamo Kiev, Paris Saint-Germain, Dynamo Zagreb, Paris Saint-Germain, Paris Saint-Germain is only the third team, but it has strong financial resources. They have Champions League master Ancelotti, and they should have no opponents in the group.

Group B: Arsenal, Schalke 04, Olympiacos, Montpellier, Arsenal has almost no problem qualifying, Schalke also has great hope of locking a qualifying seat.

Group C: AC Milan, St. Petersburg Zenit, Anderlecht, Malaga, as the second runner-up in Serie A, Milan can almost lock in the first place in the group ahead of schedule.

Group D: Real Madrid, Manchester City, Tottenham, Dortmund, this is an absolute super death group - since Chelsea did not win the Champions League championship last season, Tottenham, the fourth-placed Premier League, did not lose its Champions League qualification.

Group E: Benfica, Donetsk miners, Juventus, North Zealand, there is no doubt that the Zebras, the Serie A champion, is the only one in this group.

Group F: Bayern, Valencia, Lille, Borisov. If Bayern cannot finish first after the six-round group stage, it will definitely be a failure for them.

Group G: Barcelona, ​​Ajax, Moscow Sparta, Celtics, Barcelona can avenge Ajax, although there are few champion players in this Ajax team...

Group H: Manchester United, Braga, Galatasaray, Cruges, and Ferguson always encounter big gift packs in the Champions League group stage, and this time there is still no exception.

After the lottery ceremony, there is a brief award ceremony.

There is only one award this time, that is, the best player in Europe last season.

Compared to last season, the judges' opinions were significantly more unified this time:

In the on-site voting of a total of 53 judges, Long Shute directly received 50 votes, Ronaldo and Messi each received a vote with more symbolic significance than actual significance, and the last vote... chose to abstain.

Looking at the back of Long Shute who was striding towards the rostrum, Luo Yipiao and Mei Yipiao, who were sitting in the audience, could only look at each other helplessly.

They all saw in each other's eyes that they were unwilling to accept.
