Chapter 1391 Yang Yang's Expectation

Chapter 1391 Yang Yang's Expectation

Every year at the end of August, the media and fans all over the world will focus their attention on Monaco.

What happens at the Grimaldi Congress Center will captivate the eyes of the world and will determine the state of European football in the coming months, as the draw for the Champions League group stage will take place here.

Real Madrid's luck in the draw is still quite satisfactory. In the group stage, they drew Bundesliga runner-up Dortmund, Portuguese Super League Sporting Lisbon and Polish giants Legia Warsaw.

This is a typical UEFA Champions League group stage pattern of two strong, one medium and one weak. Real Madrid and Dortmund are both strong European teams. Although Dortmund has lost many main players including Hummels this season, the team has also carried out targeted reinforcements. The specific strength is still not particularly clear.

Sporting Lisbon is a mid-range team that has little hope of qualifying, but its ability to spoil the game cannot be underestimated. The key is to see what level they can play in the four games against Real Madrid and Dortmund.

As for Legia Warsaw, although there are many Polish internationals, in the whole team, the strength is not as good as the top three teams.

It can be said that judging from the results of Real Madrid's draw, it can be described as mixed.

It is said that the signing is good because there is basically no suspense about qualifying. Even if they encounter Dortmund, Real Madrid is still a safe and reliable player in this group.

Don't underestimate the number one in the group, because the strength of the opponents encountered in the knockout round of the next sixteen will have a great impact on Real Madrid's next Champions League trend, so Real Madrid's consistent strategy is to compete for the first place in the group.

……

Compared to Real Madrid, Barcelona's luck is relatively poor.

Luis Enrique's team drew Manchester City coached by Guardiola in the second tier. The collision between Barcelona and Manchester City is undoubtedly quite interesting. After all, the two teams have deep roots.

Therefore, Barcelona will touch Manchester City, which will also be a highlight of the group stage.

The remaining two teams are Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga and Celtic in the Scottish Super League, both of which are also strong.

Atletico Madrid's luck is not particularly good. They got Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. The head coach Ancelotti is very familiar with La Liga and Atletico Madrid. Moreover, Simeone rarely takes advantage of the old fox Ancelotti. This meeting is probably not enough.

The other two teams are Eindhoven from Eredivisie and Rostov from Russia.

Judging from the lottery, among the top three in La Liga, Real Madrid's luck is relatively good, but it is also mixed, while Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are relatively unlucky.

……

Yang Yang sat under the stage, looking at the freshly released lottery results, but felt mixed feelings in his heart.

Not only because of Real Madrid, but also for Ajax.

Everyone originally placed high hopes on Ajax, but Peter Boss's team did not start the new season ideally. The league started with four games, two wins, one draw and one loss. It is currently ranked fourth in the Eredivisie, including a [-]-[-] home loss to Willem II in the third round.

This season, Ajax's game started at the end of July, because they were going to play in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers, and Ajax drew [-]-[-] with Thessaloniki, Greece in the first round, but in the second round they relied on Klaassen's scoring twice to reverse their opponents [-]-[-] and narrowly escaped.

But in the last round of peripheral qualifiers, facing Rostov from Russia, Ajax still suffered a [-]-[-] draw at home, and then lost [-]-[-] in the away game. Klaassen scored in both games, but in the end he was powerless to prevent Ajax from losing.

The Eredivisie team once again stopped outside the UEFA Champions League group stage, which aroused huge repercussions in the Netherlands. Even many media expressed doubts about the coaching ability of the head coach Peter Boss. For the first time, some media and fans questioned the operational ability of the club management.

The departure of players such as Milik and Ghazi has obviously severely damaged Ajax's offense. When the team's defensive ability and midfield performance have not been significantly improved, the team's offensive weakness is worrying.

According to UEFA rules, although Ajax stopped outside the UEFA Champions League group stage, it also reached the fourth round of qualifying rounds, and can directly enter the Europa League group stage and participate in the new season's Europa League competition.

But missing the Champions League group stage will still have a great financial impact on Ajax. Although the summer transfer earned 5000 million euros in the market, which greatly eased the financial pressure on the team, if they can enter the Champions League group stage, it will definitely be a major benefit for Ajax.

But at the critical moment, the [-]-[-] defeat in the away game made people see the weakness of Ajax.

Yang Yang sat under the stage, watching the draw results of the UEFA Champions League group stage on the stage, why didn't he understand in his heart?

Having missed the official Champions League matches for many years in a row, Ajax's players have been significantly weakened in terms of experience and spirit.

And if the team continues to be weak like this, the final result is obvious. After three years, it will be difficult for Yang Yang to complete the assessment of the supervisory board, and the idea of ​​acquiring Ajax can only be shelved temporarily.

…………

…………

Due to the temporary absence of the UEFA president, Infantino became the president of FIFA, so currently the former Spanish Football Association President Villa temporarily acts as the UEFA president.

After the draw, Villa stepped onto the podium, ready to present the final two finale awards.

One is the best female player in Europe, and the most important and most important one is the European player of the year.

The former winner was the Norwegian women's football player Hegelberg, and she deserved the award.

There is also no suspense about the final grand prize. In the first round of voting, Yang Yang, Griezmann and Suarez entered the top three, and then the second round of on-site voting took place.

All the reporters who participated in the first round of voting voted on the spot through electronic voting machines, and without any suspense, Yang Yang got 55 votes out of [-] votes, almost overwhelmingly elected.

His teammate Suarez in Real Madrid overwhelmed Atletico Madrid star Griezmann by one vote, and ranked behind Yang Yang.

When UEFA Acting President Aston Villa announced Yang Yang's election, Yang Yang, who was sitting in the first row, immediately stood up from his seat, hugged the Real Madrid President Florentino who came to congratulate him with a smile on his face, and thanked the Real Madrid President for his support.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Yang hugged Suarez and other Real Madrid teammates. Many of them also made a special trip to support him. Even the head coach Zidane also made a special trip to support him.

Therefore, after taking the stage, when Yang Yanggang took over the best player trophy with his name engraved on it from Villa, the first thing he thanked was the coaching staff and teammates of Real Madrid.

"I have to thank our coaching team, teammates, and all the staff. They are the most important and the best team in European football last season. They are the best and best team every year!"

Yang Yang's remarks received warm applause from the audience, especially the players of Real Madrid, who booed one after another.

Real Madrid chairman Florentino was also grinning from ear to ear, obviously very happy with Yang Yang's award.

"I have never been the most talented person, so I can only work harder, but without the support and help of the surrounding coaching staff, teammates and staff, I would not be able to stand here, so I must thank them for their support and everything they have done for me."

Yang Yang also specifically pointed to Suarez and Griezmann, "Both of them are very good players, and they should also be eligible for this award. Their performance last season was unbelievable."

"Luiz, one of my best partners, I know him, he is a great player, I am very happy to have such teammates and partners, so, I also want to thank the president of Real Madrid, Florentino, thank you for building such an excellent team for Real Madrid, in my mind, you are the greatest president!"

Yang Yang's sudden thanks made the atmosphere change suddenly. Florentino was also inexplicably surprised. Then there was a burst of applause and booing from the audience, and even Real Madrid players shouted for Florentino to come on stage.

The chairman of Real Madrid laughed so hard that he shook his head and almost dropped his glasses.

"And Griezmann, I'm sorry, the Champions League final was very, very hard, you and your teammates are also very, very good, especially you, you are a great player!"

Griezmann clasped his hands together in the audience and bowed slightly towards Yang Yang, obviously thanking Yang Yang for his support at this time.

As a young player, Yang Yang was already famous when he debuted. Now, he has finally squeezed out Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and entered the top three ranks. This is undoubtedly a very difficult breakthrough.

But Yang Yang still stood in front of him like an unattainable mountain.

On the court, Griezmann will do everything possible to kill Yang Yang, but at this moment, he only has admiration and even admiration in his heart, because he knows that Yang Yang's achievements are beyond his lifetime.

Even in the future, he will be proud and proud that he was once tied with such a great star.

Sometimes, losing is also an honor!

In the end, Yang Yang also thanked his family and Zidane. At the same time, he once again publicly stated that he will continue to work hard, hoping to continue his career and strive for more honors for Real Madrid.

"I hope that next year, the year after, the year after, and even the next few years, I can still stand here!"

This is Yang Yang's expectation, but it is also the nightmare of countless top European superstars!
