Chapter 324 UEFA Europe’s Best Player!
At around 8 pm local time on August 25, Martin, head coach Wenger, Sanchez and other teammates arrived at the Cote d'Azur Airport in Nice, France.
In the VIP channel, there were already UEFA staff responsible for picking up the passengers and waiting for them to take them to their hotel in the Principality of Monaco.
The Côte d'Azur Airport is not far from Monaco, and it takes half an hour to reach the five-star hotel prepared by the organizer in advance.
Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger once coached in Monaco for seven years and won a league championship and a French Cup championship, so he is welcomed by a large number of local fans.
Wenger, who was nearly [-] years old, smiled happily and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Martin, the popular king of the team, who was always welcomed wherever he went.
"Martin!"
"Martin!!"
"Martin!!!"
Just when Martin was about to ask Wenger what are you looking at me for, a huge shout came.
Wenger's mouth twitched slightly.
At this time, he was lucky not to say it, otherwise he would have been extremely embarrassed...
Martin, as usual, smiled and waved to the enthusiastic fans, and also went out of his way to satisfy the wishes of several fans who were surrounded by police cordons for photos and autographs.
The 2016-2017 Champions League group draw ceremony and UEFA European Player of the Year award started at [-] p.m. The invited guests who arrived in Monaco rested at the local five-star hotel.
After a sumptuous lunch at the hotel, Martin took a short break and felt that he was idle. He asked the staff and went straight to the gym.
"Huh? Cristiano?"
When he arrived at the gym, Martin saw a familiar figure doing squats. He walked over and saw that it was really Cristiano Ronaldo.
When he heard someone calling him, Ronaldo put the barbell on his shoulder on the equipment, turned around and looked around, and suddenly laughed: "Is it you? Are you here to work out too?"
"Are you here to play?"
Martin said with a half-smile.
"Haha~ also."
Ronaldo smiled and picked up the towel next to him to wipe his sweat, then pointed to the row of fitness equipment behind him: "Do you want to practice?"
"Why not?"
Martin shrugged.
"Good~"
As a result, the two men's "Enter the Dragon" on the court turned into a competition in the gym.
From bench press to barbell squat, from seated chest press to shoulder press...
"You...young man, you must exercise moderation."
Cristiano Ronaldo watched Martin's continuous high-intensity strength equipment training without taking a big breath, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"If you can't keep up, just say it, hehe~ I can let you go."
"Hmph~ I, Cristiano Ronaldo, will not give in easily!"
Martin smiled and said: "Then let's continue and increase the intensity."
"Oops~"
After about half an hour, Ronaldo, who felt a little tired, pretended to wake up from a dream and slapped his forehead: "Suddenly I remembered something personal. I have to participate in the Champions League group draw later. I can't practice for too long. That... little Ma, your strength is pretty good. Let’s discuss it next time when we have a chance. I’ll withdraw now~”
Looking at Ronaldo's back, Martin laughed unkindly.
Ronaldo returned to the room feeling sore muscles all over his body and was unwilling to move.
I originally wanted to kill the boring time, but when I met Martin, he came to the gym and just wanted to do a casual workout. Unexpectedly...
It's all tears.
If I had known this was the case, it would have been better not to practice.
Wouldn’t it be nice to spend the afternoon playing with your phone in your room?
Wouldn’t it be nice to post two posts on Instagram and get hundreds of thousands of euros?
Thinking about finishing the Champions League group draw ceremony and returning to Madrid to have league games, September is another international match day...
"Hey~"
It wasn't until teammate Bale knocked on the door at around five o'clock that Ronaldo took a hurried shower, put on the attire he had prepared in advance, and took the business car prepared by the organizer to the Grimaldi Convention Center.
……
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Martin put on a burgundy suit provided by his sponsor Armani Men's Wear and took a business car to the Grimaldi Conference Center under the arrangement of the staff.
When you arrive at your destination, there will be a dedicated staff member responsible for opening the door, and you will see a red carpet leading inside.
'Click', 'Click', 'Click'...
As soon as he got off the commercial vehicle, Martin felt the continuous flashing lights and shooting sounds.
As the best player in the entire 2015-2016 season, he naturally attracted the attention of a large number of media reporters.
"Hey~Martin! Here!"
"Martin! I love you!"
"My roommate wanted to see a photo of me and you before he died~"
……
Martin's attention was drawn to the fans outside who were cordoned off, holding banners, slogans, and flags high and shaking them vigorously.
Originally going to the autograph wall to sign autographs, Martin turned a corner and walked toward the enthusiastic fans.
Due to limited time, only fans' simple wishes such as taking photos, shaking hands, and high-fiving are met.
When fans saw Martin's arrival, they became particularly crazy and took out their cameras to take photos and videos.
……
When he arrived at the venue, Martin saw Ronaldo and Messi dressed up.
The two people who were chatting happily also noticed Martin and walked over to say hello.
"Hello, Cristiano~"
"Hi~Leo."
"Hi~Martin~"
When reporters saw the three most capable players in today's world football, they subconsciously pressed the shutter in their hands to record the wonderful moments in their cameras.
After Martin said hello to Messi, he reached out and rubbed the biceps of Ronaldo's right arm, half-smiling but not smiling: "How do you feel?"
Cristiano Ronaldo endured the soreness in his muscles and pretended to shrug easily, but he pulled his muscles and couldn't help but gasped: "Hiss~"
Messi asked with concern: "Cristiano, are you okay?"
"fine!"
Cristiano Ronaldo shook his head as if nothing happened, then turned to look at Martin, patted his chest and said, "It's pretty good. If nothing happens, we can continue to practice for two hours."
"what are you guys saying?"
Messi looked at the two of them in confusion.
"Oh~ That's it..."
Martin said briefly.
"Let's go, you two are too perverted, aren't you? You didn't even miss training to participate in the Champions League group draw ceremony?"
Messi's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly as he spoke, but he was obviously moved deep down in his heart, and his brain was also thinking. Was it because he was not as good as Martin and Ronaldo last season because he neglected training?
……
This is Martin's first time at the Grimaldi Conference Center, but he is now so famous that almost every guest invited to the scene comes to say hello.
At [-]:[-] pm, the on-site staff reminded the guests to take their seats at the designated seats.
Martin, Ronaldo, Messi, Griezmann and other players are naturally arranged in the front row C position.
No matter which lens you take, you can capture it.
With the official opening remarks of host Pedro Pinto, it was announced that the 2016-2017 Champions League group draw ceremony was about to begin.
However, before that, all guests are introduced as usual, including representatives of the 32 participating teams this season and invited guests.
After Pedro Pinto finished his introduction, Anna Bonnet, another female host sitting in the C seat, introduced the topic other than the draw ceremony-the five candidates for the best male and female players in Europe.
There are three candidates for the European Men's Player of the Year award and two candidates for the European Women's Player of the Year award.
At the end, he naturally took out his mobile phone and took a photo with the five candidates.
After playing the highlights of last season’s Champions League, host Pedro Pinto introduced the ambassadors and lucky draw guests of the Champions League group draw ceremony.
The final was held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. Liverpool's top scorer in team history and Welsh football legend Ian Rush served as the ambassador.
Seedorf, Thierry Henry, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Roberto Carlos served as the draw guests.
When Henry attended, he also held the Champions League trophy as an Arsenal legend and placed it in a prominent position in front of the draw table.
The lottery ceremony was slightly different from the past. Infantino, the original UEFA Secretary-General, was elected as FIFA President, and Marchetti, the director of the competition department, presided over the lottery ceremony alone.
The division of seed teams in the 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League group draw is also different from the past. The teams originally divided according to the team's European War points have become the defending champions + the champion teams of the top 7 leagues in UEFA league points.
Starting from the second-tier teams, the past team European competition points rankings will still be used.
Arsenal was last season's league champion and Champions League champion. The league champion and Ukrainian Super League champion Dynamo Kiev, ranked 8th in UEFA points, were lucky substitutes and became the eighth seeded team.
As usual, Marchetti introduced the relevant avoidance rules for the lottery ceremony.Seedorf, who was responsible for drawing the seeding teams, drew Barcelona first. Image ambassador Ian Rush drew C among the eight UEFA Champions League logo balls with subtitles for groups A to H. That means Barcelona is the seed of Group C. team.
As the defending champion and Premier League champion, Arsenal was the second seeded team drawn by Seedorf. Ian Rush drew the small ball with the Champions League logo with the subtitle G placed on it.
In about 5 minutes, the eight seeded teams were settled.
Arsenal legend Henry is responsible for drawing the second-tier team.
The first team to be drawn is Porto. Due to the avoidance rules for teams under the same Football Association, it will not appear in the half of Group B where Benfica is located. Therefore, it can only appear in another area and is subject to political influence.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the return rules for teams under the same Football Association, and due to the impact of international relations, the Ukrainian Super League team will not appear in the same group as the Russian Super League team.
UEFA Competition Director Marchetti put the four group letters E, F, G, and H in a separate box, waiting for Ian Rush to draw Porto's group assignment.
The on-site director didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but he suddenly pointed to Arsenal captain Martin.
Central 5 commentator He Wei said: "Martin came from Porto's youth training. Although he has not played a game for the first team, this is an indisputable fact. Returning to Porto will surely be a great welcome, right?"
Shao Shengyi, who served as the commentator, said: "According to Portuguese media reports, the Chinese player Wei Shaohao who plays for Boavista is very likely to join Porto before the summer window closes. The two teams are close to reaching an agreement. If Porto is drawn into Group G, Wei Shaohao will With another move to Porto, won’t the first Dragons Derby in the history of the Champions League come?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ian Rush, who was in charge of the team's placement draw, unscrewed the small ball with the Champions League logo containing the group number, opened it, flipped the folded paper inside, and pointed it at the screen.
"G."
Martin was a little surprised when he saw this draw.
We were actually drawn into a group with Porto.
He really calls you a good guy!
Last year's Champions League group stage was drawn in the same group as Wolfsburg, and this year's Champions League group stage was drawn in the same group as Porto.
What the hell~
What about next season?
What about next season?
I really have no doubt that no one would believe the Champions League group draw without a script...
Then, he remembered that his friend Wei Shaohao, who had been playing in the Portuguese Super League, would definitely join Porto before the summer window closed. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he took out his mobile phone with a smile and sent Wei Shaohao a WeChat message.
Then he edited a message and sent it to the WhatsApp group of Ruben Neves, Dalot and other friends: adopted sons, are you ready to welcome your father?
After a while, Ruben Neves, Dalot, Diogo Costa and others responded with an expression: →_→.
……
Wenger, who was sitting in the guest seat, was very satisfied with the draw. He avoided the feud between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid and encountered the relatively weak Porto. Looking at the third-tier teams, only Borussia Monchengladbach and Lyon were stronger.
As for the fourth level, it doesn't matter even if we draw Monaco.
The draw of teams for the second tier of the Champions League group continues, and collisions of strong dialogues occur one after another.
In the group of death in recent years, Manchester City was drawn into Group C of Barcelona, Atletico Madrid appeared in Group D of Bayern, and Real Madrid was drawn into Group A of Paris Saint-Germain...
Ruud van Nistelrooy is responsible for the third round draw, and the team that appears in Group G is the Belgian team Bruges.
Drawing last season's Belgian League champion Brugge also means that the seeded team Arsenal can finish first in the group without any effort.
At this stage of the lottery, the third-tier Group E has already shown signs of being a group of death.
Most, Central Army (fear of harmony), Bayer Leverkusen and Tottenham.
All third-tier teams were drawn. Affected by the avoidance rules, Robert Kailos was in charge of the process of drawing lots for the fourth-tier teams.
In just 5 minutes, the groups of all 32 teams were settled.
Monaco, the strongest team in the fourth tier, was drawn into Group E, officially locking in the group of death.
Manchester City, who had been a special user in the Group of Death in the past few seasons, had significantly better luck after Platini stepped down. The subsequent draws in Group C were Borussia Monchengladbach and Celtic.
If it were darker, Monaco would appear in Group C instead of Group E.
The last team in Group G is Copenhagen from the Danish Super League.
Closer to home, the UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony is over, followed by the awarding of UEFA's best women's football player.
There is no surprise in this selection. Norwegian forward Hegelberg, who won the Triple Crown last season on behalf of the Lyon women's football team, was elected.
She scored an astonishing 2015 goals in 2016 appearances in the 34-54 season.
联赛20场33个，法国杯5场8球，欧冠9场13球。
After awarding the UEFA Women's Best Player, the highlight is the awarding of the UEFA European Men's Best Player.
The on-site director gave the three candidates Martin, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi the same frame.
Messi knows that he is a foil, and he is one of the top three candidates. His facial expression is natural, and he does not have the fleeting nervousness of strong competitors Martin and Ronaldo.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us now warmly welcome Cristiano Ronaldo, Martin, Leo Messi..."
host Pedro Pinto exclaimed.
As the three people stood up and walked to the middle of the stage, shaking hands with the two hosts respectively, the atmosphere at the scene became a little solemn.
Perhaps because he looks the most handsome, Martin stands in the middle.
In a prominent position facing the audience, they placed tonight's grand finale.
The trophy that symbolizes UEFA Europe's best player!
Because it resembles underpants and is silver, it is nicknamed the Silver Underpants Award by many fans.
Although Messi knew that he was a "runner", his eyes that glanced at the "silver pants" were full of passion.
Not to mention the strong contenders Martin and Ronaldo, they all want to hold the trophy high and declare to the world: Me!He is the best player in Europe!
Host Pedro Pinto's words to Ronaldo brought the two of them back to reality: "Although I am a neutral fan, I still want to say 'thank you' in Portuguese for winning the championship for us. …”
At the same time, the upper left corner of the stage also played the wonderful moments when Ronaldo led Portugal to win the European Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but chuckle: "The championship is the credit of the whole team. I am very grateful to my coach, teammates, every staff member who works silently behind the scenes, and of course... there are tens of millions more Fans who plan..."
After Ronaldo finished answering, Pedro Pinto asked Messi again in Spanish.
Considering that Messi did not achieve much last season, the topic mainly revolved around rainbow farts and prospects for the new season.
Messi smiled shyly. When he mentioned his goal for the new season, he rarely said with sharpness: "Champion! Copy all the championships won in 2009!"
While speaking, he couldn't help but look at Martin.
Martin, who was in the same frame, looked at Messi meaningfully, and it was easy to see what he wanted to express: What?Are you serious?
Finally, Messi nodded solemnly.
Only Ronaldo showed an intriguing wry smile, seeming to say: Do you two think I don’t exist?
"Hahaha~"
All the guests at the scene understood the silent exchange between the three people, and they all burst into good-natured laughter.
"Now... what language should I use to communicate with you? Portuguese? German? English? Or dragon language?"
Pedro Pinto looked at Martin.
"If you can, I can speak Russian, Arabic, Italian, Sakura."
Martin spoke in the languages of four countries.
"How many languages do you know?"
Anna Bonnet asked subconsciously.
"The ten cities with the highest usage rates."
Martin said without thinking.
"Ten languages?"
"Yes."
"real or fake?"
exclaimed Pedro Pinto.
"Look... the seats are packed. There will always be guests from these countries, right?"
As soon as Martin finished speaking, Pedro Pinto actually called out to the scene the captain of the Moscow Middle Road team Akinfeev, the president of Paris Saint-Germain Nasser, the legendary AC Milan captain Maldini and the people from Sakura Country. reporter.
The result left everyone in the audience stunned.
I thought Martin was bragging, but he didn't expect that he actually knew the languages of four countries.
News in the new era spreads very fast. The hot topics that Martin is proficient in ten languages instantly rushed to the top of the major social platforms, which is amazing.
Not to mention that he looks like the reader's father, but he is so perverted in playing football that he can even speak ten languages.
What the hell, it’s so irritating!
After such an episode before the suspenseful announcement of UEFA Europe's best player, the atmosphere became a bit fanatical.
The host Pedro Pinto took advantage of the opportunity to invite the presenter UEFA Acting President Vera to reveal the final suspense of the grand finale.
"The time has come for the excitement..."
Central 5 commentator He Wei watched acting president Vera take the envelope, and his voice became a little nervous.
Martin and Ronaldo, who were standing on both sides, couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
They know that in a matter of seconds it will be revealed who is the best player!
Vera's movements are neither fast nor slow, but people who pay attention to suspense feel that time passes very slowly...
About three seconds later, he opened the white envelope, flipped through the black card inside, looked at the name displayed, and said loudly: "——Martin!"
The live director switched to a close-up shot of Martin's face.
"Congratulations Martin!"
The very nervous Central 5 commentator He Wei heard the name spoken by Vera and blurted out: "In the third season of his career, he beat Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi and was elected the best player in Europe by UEFA!"
(End of this chapter)
At around 8 pm local time on August 25, Martin, head coach Wenger, Sanchez and other teammates arrived at the Cote d'Azur Airport in Nice, France.
In the VIP channel, there were already UEFA staff responsible for picking up the passengers and waiting for them to take them to their hotel in the Principality of Monaco.
The Côte d'Azur Airport is not far from Monaco, and it takes half an hour to reach the five-star hotel prepared by the organizer in advance.
Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger once coached in Monaco for seven years and won a league championship and a French Cup championship, so he is welcomed by a large number of local fans.
Wenger, who was nearly [-] years old, smiled happily and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Martin, the popular king of the team, who was always welcomed wherever he went.
"Martin!"
"Martin!!"
"Martin!!!"
Just when Martin was about to ask Wenger what are you looking at me for, a huge shout came.
Wenger's mouth twitched slightly.
At this time, he was lucky not to say it, otherwise he would have been extremely embarrassed...
Martin, as usual, smiled and waved to the enthusiastic fans, and also went out of his way to satisfy the wishes of several fans who were surrounded by police cordons for photos and autographs.
The 2016-2017 Champions League group draw ceremony and UEFA European Player of the Year award started at [-] p.m. The invited guests who arrived in Monaco rested at the local five-star hotel.

Martin said with a half-smile.
"Haha~ also."
Ronaldo smiled and picked up the towel next to him to wipe his sweat, then pointed to the row of fitness equipment behind him: "Do you want to practice?"
"Why not?"
Martin shrugged.
"Good~"
As a result, the two men's "Enter the Dragon" on the court turned into a competition in the gym.
From bench press to barbell squat, from seated chest press to shoulder press...
"You...young man, you must exercise moderation."
Cristiano Ronaldo watched Martin's continuous high-intensity strength equipment training without taking a big breath, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"If you can't keep up, just say it, hehe~ I can let you go."
"Hmph~ I, Cristiano Ronaldo, will not give in easily!"
Martin smiled and said: "Then let's continue and increase the intensity."
"Oops~"
After about half an hour, Ronaldo, who felt a little tired, pretended to wake up from a dream and slapped his forehead: "Suddenly I remembered something personal. I have to participate in the Champions League group draw later. I can't practice for too long. That... little Ma, your strength is pretty good. Let’s discuss it next time when we have a chance.

Looking at Ronaldo's back, Martin laughed unkindly.
Ronaldo returned to the room feeling sore muscles all over his body and was unwilling to move.

"Hey~"
It wasn't until teammate Bale knocked on the door at around five o'clock that Ronaldo took a hurried shower, put on the attire he had prepared in advance, and took the business car prepared by the organizer to the Grimaldi Convention Center.
……
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Martin put on a burgundy suit provided by his sponsor Armani Men's Wear and took a business car to the Grimaldi Conference Center under the arrangement of the staff.
When you arrive at your destination, there will be a dedicated staff member responsible for opening the door, and you will see a red carpet leading inside.
'Click', 'Click', 'Click'...
As soon as he got off the commercial vehicle, Martin felt the continuous flashing lights and shooting sounds.
As the best player in the entire 2015-2016 season, he naturally attracted the attention of a large number of media reporters.
"Hey~Martin! Here!"
"Martin! I love you!"
"My roommate wanted to see a photo of me and you before he died~"

……
This is Martin's first time at the Grimaldi Conference Center, but he is now so famous that almost every guest invited to the scene comes to say hello.
At [-]:[-] pm, the on-site staff reminded the guests to take their seats at the designated seats.
Martin, Ronaldo, Messi, Griezmann and other players are naturally arranged in the front row C position.
No matter which lens you take, you can capture it.
With the official opening remarks of host Pedro Pinto, it was announced that the 2016-2017 Champions League group draw ceremony was about to begin.
However, before that, all guests are introduced as usual, including representatives of the 32 participating teams this season and invited guests.
After Pedro Pinto finished his introduction, Anna Bonnet, another female host sitting in the C seat, introduced the topic other than the draw ceremony-the five candidates for the best male and female players in Europe.
There are three candidates for the European Men's Player of the Year award and two candidates for the European Women's Player of the Year award.
At the end, he naturally took out his mobile phone and took a photo with the five candidates.
After playing the highlights of last season’s Champions League, host Pedro Pinto introduced the ambassadors and lucky draw guests of the Champions League group draw ceremony.
The final was held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. Liverpool's top scorer in team history and Welsh football legend Ian Rush served as the ambassador.
Seedorf, Thierry Henry, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Roberto Carlos served as the draw guests.
When Henry attended, he also held the Champions League trophy as an Arsenal legend and placed it in a prominent position in front of the draw table.
The lottery ceremony was slightly different from the past. Infantino, the original UEFA Secretary-General, was elected as FIFA President, and Marchetti, the director of the competition department, presided over the lottery ceremony alone.

Starting from the second-tier teams, the past team European competition points rankings will still be used.
Arsenal was last season's league champion and Champions League champion. The league champion and Ukrainian Super League champion Dynamo Kiev, ranked 8th in UEFA points, were lucky substitutes and became the eighth seeded team.
As usual, Marchetti introduced the relevant avoidance rules for the lottery ceremony.Seedorf, who was responsible for drawing the seeding teams, drew Barcelona first. Image ambassador Ian Rush drew C among the eight UEFA Champions League logo balls with subtitles for groups A to H. That means Barcelona is the seed of Group C. team.
As the defending champion and Premier League champion, Arsenal was the second seeded team drawn by Seedorf. Ian Rush drew the small ball with the Champions League logo with the subtitle G placed on it.
In about 5 minutes, the eight seeded teams were settled.
Arsenal legend Henry is responsible for drawing the second-tier team.
The first team to be drawn is Porto. Due to the avoidance rules for teams under the same Football Association, it will not appear in the half of Group B where Benfica is located. Therefore, it can only appear in another area and is subject to political influence.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the return rules for teams under the same Football Association, and due to the impact of international relations, the Ukrainian Super League team will not appear in the same group as the Russian Super League team.
UEFA Competition Director Marchetti put the four group letters E, F, G, and H in a separate box, waiting for Ian Rush to draw Porto's group assignment.
The on-site director didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but he suddenly pointed to Arsenal captain Martin.
Central 5 commentator He Wei said: "Martin came from Porto's youth training. Although he has not played a game for the first team, this is an indisputable fact. Returning to Porto will surely be a great welcome, right?"
Shao Shengyi, who served as the commentator, said: "According to Portuguese media reports, the Chinese player Wei Shaohao who plays for Boavista is very likely to join Porto before the summer window closes.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ian Rush, who was in charge of the team's placement draw, unscrewed the small ball with the Champions League logo containing the group number, opened it, flipped the folded paper inside, and pointed it at the screen.
"G."
Martin was a little surprised when he saw this draw.
We were actually drawn into a group with Porto.
He really calls you a good guy!
Last year's Champions League group stage was drawn in the same group as Wolfsburg, and this year's Champions League group stage was drawn in the same group as Porto.
What the hell~
What about next season?
What about next season?
I really have no doubt that no one would believe the Champions League group draw without a script...
Then, he remembered that his friend Wei Shaohao, who had been playing in the Portuguese Super League, would definitely join Porto before the summer window closed. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he took out his mobile phone with a smile and sent Wei Shaohao a WeChat message.
Then he edited a message and sent it to the WhatsApp group of Ruben Neves, Dalot and other friends: adopted sons, are you ready to welcome your father?
After a while, Ruben Neves, Dalot, Diogo Costa and others responded with an expression: →_→.
……
Wenger, who was sitting in the guest seat, was very satisfied with the draw. He avoided the feud between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid and encountered the relatively weak Porto. Looking at the third-tier teams, only Borussia Monchengladbach and Lyon were stronger.
As for the fourth level, it doesn't matter even if we draw Monaco.

In the group of death in recent years, Manchester City was drawn into Group C of Barcelona, Atletico Madrid appeared in Group D of Bayern, and Real Madrid was drawn into Group A of Paris Saint-Germain...
Ruud van Nistelrooy is responsible for the third round draw, and the team that appears in Group G is the Belgian team Bruges.
Drawing last season's Belgian League champion Brugge also means that the seeded team Arsenal can finish first in the group without any effort.
At this stage of the lottery, the third-tier Group E has already shown signs of being a group of death.

In just 5 minutes, the groups of all 32 teams were settled.
Monaco, the strongest team in the fourth tier, was drawn into Group E, officially locking in the group of death.
Manchester City, who had been a special user in the Group of Death in the past few seasons, had significantly better luck after Platini stepped down. The subsequent draws in Group C were Borussia Monchengladbach and Celtic.
If it were darker, Monaco would appear in Group C instead of Group E.
The last team in Group G is Copenhagen from the Danish Super League.
Closer to home, the UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony is over, followed by the awarding of UEFA's best women's football player.
There is no surprise in this selection. Norwegian forward Hegelberg, who won the Triple Crown last season on behalf of the Lyon women's football team, was elected.
She scored an astonishing 2015 goals in 2016 appearances in the 34-54 season.
联赛20场33个，法国杯5场8球，欧冠9场13球。
After awarding the UEFA Women's Best Player, the highlight is the awarding of the UEFA European Men's Best Player.
The on-site director gave the three candidates Martin, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi the same frame.
Messi knows that he is a foil, and he is one of the top three candidates. His facial expression is natural, and he does not have the fleeting nervousness of strong competitors Martin and Ronaldo.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us now warmly welcome Cristiano Ronaldo, Martin, Leo Messi..."
host Pedro Pinto exclaimed.
As the three people stood up and walked to the middle of the stage, shaking hands with the two hosts respectively, the atmosphere at the scene became a little solemn.
Perhaps because he looks the most handsome, Martin stands in the middle.
In a prominent position facing the audience, they placed tonight's grand finale.
The trophy that symbolizes UEFA Europe's best player!
Because it resembles underpants and is silver, it is nicknamed the Silver Underpants Award by many fans.
Although Messi knew that he was a "runner", his eyes that glanced at the "silver pants" were full of passion.
Not to mention the strong contenders Martin and Ronaldo, they all want to hold the trophy high and declare to the world: Me!He is the best player in Europe!
Host Pedro Pinto's words to Ronaldo brought the two of them back to reality: "Although I am a neutral fan, I still want to say 'thank you' in Portuguese for winning the championship for us. …”
At the same time, the upper left corner of the stage also played the wonderful moments when Ronaldo led Portugal to win the European Cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but chuckle: "The championship is the credit of the whole team. I am very grateful to my coach, teammates, every staff member who works silently behind the scenes, and of course... there are tens of millions more Fans who plan..."
After Ronaldo finished answering, Pedro Pinto asked Messi again in Spanish.
Considering that Messi did not achieve much last season, the topic mainly revolved around rainbow farts and prospects for the new season.
Messi smiled shyly. When he mentioned his goal for the new season, he rarely said with sharpness: "Champion! Copy all the championships won in 2009!"
While speaking, he couldn't help but look at Martin.
Martin, who was in the same frame, looked at Messi meaningfully, and it was easy to see what he wanted to express: What?Are you serious?
Finally, Messi nodded solemnly.
Only Ronaldo showed an intriguing wry smile, seeming to say: Do you two think I don’t exist?
"Hahaha~"
All the guests at the scene understood the silent exchange between the three people, and they all burst into good-natured laughter.
"Now... what language should I use to communicate with you? Portuguese? German? English? Or dragon language?"
Pedro Pinto looked at Martin.
"If you can, I can speak Russian, Arabic, Italian, Sakura."
Martin spoke in the languages of four countries.
"How many languages do you know?"
Anna Bonnet asked subconsciously.
"The ten cities with the highest usage rates."
Martin said without thinking.
"Ten languages?"
"Yes."
"real or fake?"
exclaimed Pedro Pinto.
"Look... the seats are packed. There will always be guests from these countries, right?"
As soon as Martin finished speaking, Pedro Pinto actually called out to the scene the captain of the Moscow Middle Road team Akinfeev, the president of Paris Saint-Germain Nasser, the legendary AC Milan captain Maldini and the people from Sakura Country. reporter.
The result left everyone in the audience stunned.
I thought Martin was bragging, but he didn't expect that he actually knew the languages of four countries.
News in the new era spreads very fast. The hot topics that Martin is proficient in ten languages instantly rushed to the top of the major social platforms, which is amazing.
Not to mention that he looks like the reader's father, but he is so perverted in playing football that he can even speak ten languages.
What the hell, it’s so irritating!
After such an episode before the suspenseful announcement of UEFA Europe's best player, the atmosphere became a bit fanatical.
The host Pedro Pinto took advantage of the opportunity to invite the presenter UEFA Acting President Vera to reveal the final suspense of the grand finale.
"The time has come for the excitement..."
Central 5 commentator He Wei watched acting president Vera take the envelope, and his voice became a little nervous.
Martin and Ronaldo, who were standing on both sides, couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
They know that in a matter of seconds it will be revealed who is the best player!
Vera's movements are neither fast nor slow, but people who pay attention to suspense feel that time passes very slowly...
About three seconds later, he opened the white envelope, flipped through the black card inside, looked at the name displayed, and said loudly: "——Martin!"
The live director switched to a close-up shot of Martin's face.
"Congratulations Martin!"
The very nervous Central 5 commentator He Wei heard the name spoken by Vera and blurted out: "In the third season of his career, he beat Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi and was elected the best player in Europe by UEFA!"
