"Friends, in about 5 minutes, the draw ceremony of the 2013-14 European Champions League group stage will officially begin..."

In the CCTV5 studio, host He Wei sat upright as always.

The two guests around him, Yan Qiang and Xu Yang, were relatively relaxed.

He Wei said casually:

"The picture ahead just now was captured by Long Shute. He and Cruyff were walking through the red carpet together. Two generations of kings, one old and one young, immediately attracted the attention of countless shots..."

Xu Yang explained:

"Both of them can be called Ajax's legendary celebrities, so they have a very good relationship with each other..."

Yan Qiang couldn't help but joke:

"A legendary 23-year-old? Xu Yang, your explanation will definitely cause complaints, okay?"

Several people laughed and continued to talk nonsense without saying a word.

Only when the screen turned and entered the magnificent hall of the government affairs hall did they gradually stop chatting.

"Like previous years, in addition to the Champions League draw this season, the best player officially selected by UEFA last season will be announced at the end, and this award will also be selected between Longshute, Ribery and Messi," He Wei forced a joke. "Although the voices before, whether Longshute can win the Best Player in Europe for three consecutive years is also a major highlight of this ceremony..."

-

"Hey, dragon, long time no see."

Ribery hugged Long Shute:

"I've eaten bananas too, how about it, brothers, right?"

"Enough enough..."

Long Shute laughed and pushed away the scar face in front of him, which became more and more terrifying the more he looked.

Ribery curled his lips:

"I didn't want to come here to serve as a foil for you, but I was afraid that your heart would be fragile, so I reluctantly supported you. How about it, brothers, right?"

"Enough enough..."

Long Shute never knew that the Frenchman who had been teammates with him for two years also had so much nonsense. In order to block Ribery's big mouth, he quickly changed the topic:

"The host is out!"

-

The host is indeed out.

CNN's famous host Pedro Pinto and Miss Switzerland Granny Winnie slowly walked out from left and right.

On the super big screen behind the stage, a beautifully made documentary began to play.

Unlike the simple highlights in the past, UEFA has spent a little effort this year.

In the picture, a man stepped into a gorgeous and magnificent palace and wandered in an art gallery.

He stopped in front of the oil paintings and then the key scenes of the Champions League last season appeared on the oil paintings.

Without surprise, superstars such as Long Shute, Ribery, Messi, and Ronaldo became the protagonists of the picture, especially Long Shute's most pictures.

When Ribery assisted Robben to reach the last goal of the Champions League final, the picture was frozen in the scene of the whole Bayern team raising the cup to celebrate.

The lights in the hall became brighter again. McNeill, who once led the Scottish powerhouse Celtics to win the Champions League trophy, walked into the draw ceremony with the trophy in his hand. This year's Champions League ambassador, Portuguese legend Luis Figo, also took the stage.

The other three guests are John Cruyff, the founder of the Dutch Ball, John Cruyff, England's only Golden Ball Award winner in the 21st century, Michael Irving, the former wind-chasing boy, and another Portuguese legend, Paul Sousa (now the head coach of Tianjin Quanjian) who once played for many giants such as Benfica, Dortmund, Juventus, Inter Milan, etc.

Five guests, together with UEFA bald secretary-general Infantino and competition director Marchetti, a group match draw ceremony can only be successfully completed with the joint efforts of seven bigwigs.

"First, let's introduce the division of 32 teams."

He Wei did not specifically translate the lottery rules mentioned by Infantino, but analyzed them according to his own pace:

"The first teams include: defending champion Bayern Munich, two La Liga giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, Premier League three Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Porto and Benfica.

There are also many giants in the second team: Juventus, a gradual revival of the Zebras, has emerged in recent years, and has formed a stadium with Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​Ukrainian veteran powerhouse Donetsk miners, Schalke 04, Marseille, CSKA Moscow, French Ligue 1 upstart Paris Saint-Germain, and AC Milan where Longshute is located.

The third team is not bad either: last season's Champions League runner-up Dortmund, St. Petersburg Zenit, Premier League rookie Manchester City, Ajax, Swiss champion Basel, Greek overlord Olympiacos, Turkish Super League giant Galatasaray, and Bundesliga powerhouse Leverkusen.

The fourth team may make everyone a little strange: Copenhagen, Naples, Anderlecht, Celtics, Bucharest star, Bilson victory, Real Sociedad, Vienna Austrian. What do the two mentors think about this draw? Or... is it possible to form a group of death?"

"It's very likely," Xu Yang, who has always only spoken in the words of the poem, rarely let go. "Considering that there are four strong teams in the second gear, Juventus, Milan, Paris, and Atletico Madrid, the third gear, there are also strong teams with great strength such as Manchester City, Dortmund, Ajax, and Leverkusen, and in the fourth gear, there are teams in mainstream leagues such as Naples and Real Sociedad. Theoretically, it can indeed form multiple death groups..."

Yan Qiang joked with the mentality of watching the fun without bothering the big deal:

"For example, Bayern, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Naples, or Real Madrid, Paris, Dortmund, Naples, or Manchester United, Juventus, Leverkusen, and Real Sociedad are definitely all death groups."

He Wei was even more amazing than he thought:

"We can arrange this, Bayern, Milan, Ajax, and any fourth-level team, what do you think?"

Xu Yang, who explained many Longshu competitions with him, immediately reacted:

"You guy, that's so hateful!"

The opponents he chose... are all Long Shute's old bosses!

-

While the commentator was chatting, the lottery was gradually taking place.

Group A: Manchester United, Donetsk miners, Leverkusen, Real Sociedad.

Although Ferguson has retired, no one thinks such an opponent will pose a practical threat to Manchester United. After all, what Sir Ferguson left to his successor Moyes is a team of champions that dominate the Premier League.

Group B: Real Madrid, Juventus, Galatasaray, Copenhagen.

Galatasaray and Copenhagen can only 100% give the two giants a score...

Group C: Benfica, Paris Saint-Germain, Olympiacos, Anderlecht.

Although Benfica is the first team, his strength may not be stronger than the next three. Even the weakest Anderlecht, he may not be able to defeat his opponent 100%.

Group D: Bayern, CSKA Moscow, Manchester City, and Bilson won.

It failed in the group stage for two consecutive seasons. Manchester City may have to make a breakthrough this season, and Bayern's highlight is whether the new coach Guardiola can continue Heinx's strong results.

Group E: Chelsea, Schalke 04, Basel, Bucharest stars.

Mourinho, who returns to the Blue Bridge, will never let an accident happen, and Schalke's strength is obviously higher than the latter two opponents. There is probably no suspense in this group.

Group F: Arsenal, Marseille, Dortmund, Naples.

The first three were divided into the same group in the 2011-12 season and they were very familiar with each other. This time they met again, of course, there was no problem with complaints and revenge.

Group G: Porto, Atletico Madrid, St. Petersburg Zenit, Vienna, Austria.

In recent years, three rookies have emerged in European football, namely Dortmund, Manchester City and Atletico Madrid. The first two teams can make waves in their respective leagues, but they have repeatedly failed when they first entered the Champions League. Especially in their first season in the Champions League, all of which were eliminated in the group stage. Will Atletico Madrid's performance be different?

The H group that stayed at the end met the hopes of the three commentators to the greatest extent:

Barcelona, ​​AC Milan, Ajax, Celtic.

"Barcelona and Milan met in the Champions League for three consecutive seasons, and they had to wonder if the lottery process was decided..."

Xu Yang accidentally blurted out, and then he quickly covered his mouth.

He Wei did not pay attention, but instead analyzed happily:

"Long Shute returns to Ajax after many years. I wonder how the fans of Amsterdam Arena will treat him as the legendary club?"

-

Seeing this result, everyone felt inexplicably excited.

Even Messi, who was sitting in the audience, felt his body feel hot.

He missed half a season due to injury in the first half of the year, which directly led to Barcelona's defeat in the confrontation with Bayern.

Although he also admitted that Long Shute showed a terrible dominance last season, if he had not been injured at the time, Bayern would never have destroyed Barcelona so easily!

This group stage, Barcelona and AC Milan met again, which was the best opportunity for Messi to prove himself!

He will never let the shame of last season be staged again!

Just as Messi clenched his fists and made up his mind secretly, UEFA President Platini had already taken the stage.

The Frenchman first glanced at his fellow villager Ribery apologetically, then raised the weird trophy that symbolized the best player in Europe, flipped the trophy 180 degrees, revealing the name carved behind it:

“LONG-SHUTE.”
Chapter completed!
