After playing this round of league, Zhang Yang left Manchester, and he and Manchester City coach Mark.

Hughes and Manchester City Club General Manager Cook are in front of Monte Carlo.

The Champions League group stage draw and last season's Champions League award ceremony will be held at the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monte Carlo.

During the draw for the 2009/2010 Champions League group stage, the awards presented awards for each award in the 2008/2009 Champions League.

In the 2008/2009 Champions League, Barcelona and Manchester United met in the final, and this game was also considered a showdown between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. In the end, Barcelona, ​​where Messi is located, defeated Manchester United and won the Big Ear Cup. Therefore, when awarding various awards in the 2008/2009 Champions League, Barcelona became the big winner.

Messi won the MVP and Best Forward Award, Barcelona's midfielder Xavi won the Best Midfielder, Chelsea captain Terry won the Best Defender Award, Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar won the Best Goalkeeper Award, and AC Milan captain Maldini, who announced his retirement this season, won the Special Contribution Award.

During the award ceremony and the lottery ceremony, the director locked the camera on Zhang Yang many times, especially when Messi won the MVP and Best Forward awards, the camera gave Zhang Yang a close-up. The director is also very interesting. In the past season, Zhang Yang went to Manchester City and was far away from the European arena. He could only watch the showdown between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. This taste must be bad.

Zhang Yang didn't know that the camera was aimed at him, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Didn't he just leave the Champions League for a season? My buddy has already come back! Messi is very proud this season, don't worry, he won't be proud for long. My buddy was able to beat him a year ago, and now he can deal with him. Didn't see Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United win by my buddy in the Premier League?!

What Zhang Yang is most concerned about is the group grouping situation of the 2009/2010 Champions League season, which is the most practical thing for him. Manchester City has been away from the Champions League for too long and is a newcomer. It is best to be assigned to a relatively relaxed group, otherwise, it would be more difficult if he was assigned to the death group from the beginning. Fortunately, the result of the draw is not good or bad for Manchester City. They were in the same group with Juventus, Alkmaar and Standard Liege.

After the group draw, French Football immediately analyzed each group.

Group A: Bayern Munich/Alkmaar/Bordeaux/Haifa Macabi;

For this group, nothing is absolute. The only absolute is that Bayern Munich will stand out in the group, and it is difficult for the other three teams to pose any threat to the top position in the Bundesliga team.

If you have to say that this group can pose a threat to Bayern Munich, it is Ligue 1 new crown Bordeaux. Although he has not won any of his European competitions for many years, he can play in Ligue 1, which must be a team with outstanding skills. Coupled with the outbreak of Gurkuf, this team is the second most powerful team in this group after Bayern Munich.

Group B: Manchester United/CSKA Moscow/Bershiktas/Wolfsburg;

Everyone on earth knows that Manchester United must have laughed. Because they are in this group, they can focus on the championship goal of the Premier League schedule in the first half of the season. Among the other three teams, Moscow's team's strength cannot be underestimated, and the Turkish team also has a certain advantage because of their devilish home court. However, Wolfsburg, which was founded in the Bundesliga, is indeed the most worthy of our expectations. Last season, under the leadership of Magath, the team has formed a mature combat system. Although Magath switched to Schalke this season, the new coach was Amin Fei, who created the Stuttgart myth. In addition, the team did not sell the strikers Dzeko and Grafitt in suicide, and the team has full attack power. This also shows Wolfsburg's determination to fight in the European arena.

Group C: AC Milan/Real Madrid/Marseille/Zurich;

In fact, for many fans, they don’t want to see such a group. When Kaka returns to San Siro, we don’t want to know whether Milan fans are giving him gratitude or booing him because he “betrayed” Milan. The former Milan 22, when he returns to Milan, would they be in tears or saliva. The only thing in this group is that Zurich is tragic. What kind of hope can they have when they are assigned to such a group? Tragedy, a full tragedy.

Group D: Chelsea/Porto/Atletic Madrid/Athletic Greeks;

Chelsea qualifies in this group, which seems to be no big problem. Ancelotti's arrival has brought stability and appropriate changes to the team. Coupled with Chelsea's stable performance in recent years, it is no problem to qualify in the group. However, the competition between Porto and Atletico Madrid should be evenly matched. Last season, Porto was the reason why Atletico Madrid failed to advance. Aguero, Fran, Simon, and Maxi, such a strong forward line was still blocked by Porto. And this is definitely not an accident. Just look at how Manchester United took the right to qualify from Porto. Porto is definitely a favorite to qualify. However, the Greek competition from Cyprus has become a tragedy.

Group E: Liverpool/Lyon/Fiorentina/Debrecen;

Let’s talk about Debrecen first. This team from Hungary has experienced the qualifying round of the Champions League. It should be said that it is a reassuring game. The team does not have a big name, but is a practical team. Such a team is definitely the source of dark horses. Lyon has put in hard work this season to introduce players. After several players have joined the team, they have performed well in recent games. In addition to preparing to be a first-hand shame in the Ligue 1, they also hope to continue their good performance in the Champions League. And Fiorentina was able to squeeze out last season

Genoa's entry into the Champions League qualifiers was not only due to his own stability, but also the absence of Genoa's star Diego Milito, which caused Genoa to lose points. However, such a traditional Serie A strong team would not be satisfied with the performance last season. During the recession period, they also introduced players. However, Melo's departure may be their biggest failure. Liverpool, in terms of strength, qualifying is naturally no problem, but Liverpool played in a mess in the group stage. It can only be said that they hope to perform stably, so they naturally qualify stably.

Group F: Barcelona/Inter Milan/Dynamo Kiev/Kazan Ruby;

In terms of strength, in this group, Barcelona and Inter Milan are naturally superior, not comparable to Ukrainian teams and Russian Super League teams. However, Barcelona's stability makes fans feel at ease, but Inter Milan's history tells us that qualifying is not necessarily a matter of winning nearly a decade. Of course, Mourinho's team has always been reassuring.

Group G: Sevilla/Glasgow Wanderers/Stuttgart/Urzicheni;

This is the death group with the lottery draw in this Champions League group. First of all, although Sevilla has appeared in the European arena for many years, it has no real results except the League Cup. The Scottish team and Stuttgart are even more powerful and are not much worse than Sevilla. These three teams are definitely hard to solve. However, Urzicheni from Romania cannot be ignored. The Romanian League has steadily risen on the European rankings in recent years. Teams that can rush out in such a league must be no rookies. I hope they can have impressive performances.

Group H: Juventus/Alkmaar/Manchester City/Standard Liege;

We have reason to expect Manchester City to continue the same state that has been played in the games this season. Although Manchester City ranks third in the team due to the small European Cup points. However, in this group, Manchester City is no less than Juventus in terms of strength. The only problem is that their experience in the Champions League may not be as good as Juventus, but don’t forget that they have Zhang Yang, Ronaldo, Robinho, Tevez... We have reason to expect more from Zhang Yang’s team.

Not only "French Football", many other media expressed their optimism about Manchester City after the group results came out. First of all, except Juventus' strength in this group may be better than other teams, Manchester City's strength is definitely higher than Alkmaar and Standard Liege. Moreover, Manchester City has Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang suffered a lot when he was in AC Milan. Therefore, it is not impossible for Manchester City to compete for the first place in the group.

In the words of "Milan Sports News", although Manchester City is a new champion in the Champions League and lacks European experience, there is a lot of ostentatiousness, which is enough to make up for the gap between Manchester City and Juventus!

Manchester City's opponent in the Champions League game is Juventus, which is also considered a collision between the two strongest teams in the group. Coupled with the old grudges between Zhang Yang and Juventus, this game is also particularly eye-catching.

The media tried to interview Zhang Yang and asked him to talk about his prospects for Manchester City's future in this season's Champions League, and asked him to talk about his feelings about returning to the Champions League after a year. He talked about the upcoming Champions League match against Juventus.

However, Zhang Yang refused all interview requests, which also disappointed the media. Some media that had long been dissatisfied with Zhang Yang, for example, the Turin Sports Daily, which had old grudges with Zhang Yang, immediately began to advocate that Zhang Yang was pessimistic about leading Manchester City in the Champions League. He knew that Manchester City was not a match for Juventus, so he did not dare to speak, so as not to lose too much.

Zhang Yang still made no statement in the face of Turin Sports Daily's remarks, which made the Turin people even more proud. They thought Zhang Yang really admitted his conscience.

On September 12, in the 5th round of the 2009/2010 Premier League season, Manchester City beat Arsenal five-two at home, which surprised everyone.

Zhang Yang scored twice in the game and showed a good goal-scoring state.

Arsenal head coach Wenger was a little lonely after the game. He bluntly said that Manchester City this season is stronger than last season, and the energy shown by Zhang Yang is even more terrifying.

After this game, Manchester City will usher in the Champions League group stage at home, its first opponent Juventus.

So, after the game against Arsenal, Zhang Yang spoke in an interview:
Chapter completed!
