~.-~    In the second team, Valencia, Lyon and Sevilla are all relatively difficult opponents. Relatively speaking, AC Milan obviously hopes to meet Benfica and Eindhoven.

The second team in Group D where AC Milan is located is the fifth one drawn by Maldini. The team name is Benfica, and then the letter drawn by UEFA officials happens to be...d!

This also means that AC Milan is separated from Benfica, the second team!

Seeing that it was Benfica, Galliani clapped excitedly. After all, this is a good signing! Although AC Milan is naturally not afraid of Valencia and Lyon, which are relatively strong second-tier stadiums, but who would not be happy to save more effort in the group stage?

Ancelotti also smiled inadvertently when she saw Benfica pulling out.

Relatively speaking, the three of Seedorf, Zhang Yang and Kaka were relatively calm. Sidorf was more knowledgeable, and Zhang Yang didn't care about who the opponent was at all, while Kaka was always calm, had good tutors or the demeanor of a general.

Under the collaborative draw between Maldini and UEFA officials, the second-tier team quickly found their own home.

There are several second-tier teams that are quite interesting and eye-catching.

The Champions League is an event that has always been a history. Every draw of lottery will lead to a lot of old ways. When Maldini drew Roma and then drew Group F, he smiled, and everyone on the venue also laughed. Roma and Manchester United, the enemy who last season, encountered again. Old Trafford's 7-1 was a wonder of the last Champions League. It was this game that made Roma club realize the importance of the depth of the bench and introduced many new players this summer. Roma's strength has improved, experience has increased, and his mentality has become more mature. This time, the real strong dialogue is exciting to play against Manchester United again.

As for the Blues Chelsea, they met their old opponent Valencia again. To be fair, this is an opponent that Chelsea doesn't want to meet. What Chelsea is relatively unwilling to meet is a technical team like Valencia. Last season's Champions League quarter-time knockout, although Chelsea eliminated Valencia, the promotion process was not easy and could be regarded as a very difficult promotion experience.

In addition, Benfica has also fought with AC Milan four times in the past, with AC Milan winning 3 and drawing 1. I don’t know if this time can continue to be overwhelming. The record of the battle is also known as AC Milan meritorious star Rui Costa, the current Benfica captain, will return to San Siro to visit the place where he has been familiar with and fought, sweating for it and has achieved great success. This is an exciting landscape in the 2007/2008 European Champions League group stage.

Barcelona is in a group with the French Ligue 1 giants Lyon. This will be a complicated battle for Abdal, who has transferred from Lyon to Barcelona this summer.

Then, the results of the selection of the best midfielder in European football last season were announced!

The previous two best awards last season, the best goalkeeper was won by Chelsea's Czech goalkeeper Cech, and the best defender was won by AC Milan captain Maldini.

Among the three candidates for the best midfielder, AC Milan midfielder Seidorf is also among them, and the Ross and Blacks are likely to win again. However, the media also believes that the runner-up of the Champions League last season, Liverpool captain and midfielder Gerrard are also very likely to win the award. As for Xavi, the media generally believes that the Catalan general is unlikely to win the award this time.

This time, it was actually a pk between Seedorf and Gerald!

The guest who announced the best midfielder of the Champions League last season was French iron-blooded midfielder legend Deschamps.

Finally, the name of the best midfielder who came out of Deschamps was - Seedorf!

After winning the award, Seedorf also hugged Zhang Yang, then hugged the club's teammates and coaches, and then walked onto the stage.

Sidorf is loved by fans as an "old demon". His football has been turned into a state of mind and shows his master's style. In the Champions League knockout match last season, Sidorf's outbreak was crucial to AC Milan, which relies too much on Kaka.

Seidorf also participated in the draw of the third team as a guest.

Among the third-tier teams, Schalke 04 and Stuttgart are relatively strong. However, to be honest, after the Bundesliga overlord unexpectedly failed to qualify for the Champions League this season, the Bundesliga lost Bayern and dominance. Stuttgart and Schalke were in the third-tier and Bremen were in the second-tier, but their strength declined too much, and it was not impossible to eliminate the entire team.

In addition, there is Marseille in the third team. In fact, many media are still looking forward to the draw between AC Milan and Marseille. Zhang Yang plays against his old club and returns to the Villodem Stadium. This is also a very good hype gimmick and focus.

However, it disappointed some media. AC Milan's luck was still good. They drew the Celtics with average strength in the third team. In this way, the draw ceremony has been held. AC Milan's D group D has now produced three teams, AC Milan, Benfica and Celtics, and only one fourth team has not been produced.

Benfica and the Celtics are also old opponents last season. Both sides played 3:0 at home. I don’t know how this time I will go back.

Of course, there are also favorite "old opponents". Before the lottery ceremony began, Galliani smiled and told Zhang Yang and others that he hoped AC Milan could draw the Celtics.

Galliani smiled and said: "Every time AC Milan encounters Celtics, they can always reach the final."

Indeed, in the 2003/2004 season, AC Milan 3-1 at home and 0-0 away from home, advanced to the final against Liverpool and won the runner-up. Last season, AC Milan eliminated the Celtics 0-0 away in the 1/8 finals and 1-0 home overtime, and finally won the championship.

Now, the Celtics who actually got the draw are not very convinced of these so-called data fates, but they are still a little happy. Everyone will be happy in their hearts.

After the third-tier team draw, everyone knows that the first heavyweight award at tonight's awards ceremony: Best Forward is about to be announced.

Former Yugoslav legendary scorer Savicevic appeared on the stage as the award presentation guest of European football's best striker last season.

When seeing this former Yugoslavia legendary shooter and the A-Milan legendary star as the award presenter of the Best Forward, many people focused on the two AC Milan stars Kaka and Zhang Yang. The best forward is likely to compete between the two. Cristiano Ronaldo's goals are incomparable to Zhang Yang and Kaka.

"The best forward in European football in the 2006/2007 season is - zhang!!" Savicevic seemed very excited, wondering if it was because of the reason why he admired Zhang Yang, the junior in AC Milan. He shouted after a long tone.

Zhang Yang has long been mentally prepared for winning the award. Although he played for Marseille last season, he was not as honored as his current teammate Kaka in team honors, but he scored more goals! He tied Altafini's goal record, and UEFA could not turn a blind eye!

He smiled and stood up to hug Maldini, Ancelotti, Kaka and Shidov beside him.

"Congratulations, Zhang, this is what you deserve." Kaka congratulated.

"Thank you, Kaka. I'll take this, you take the other one." Zhang Yang whispered with a smile. The other one he pointed to was the award for the best player.

Kaka smiled and said nothing. He has a different personality from Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang has a somewhat perverse personality. Kaka is simply a model of a polite gentleman. Although Kaka may also think that he will definitely win the best player in his heart, Kaka will still be very reserved before the result comes out.

Zhang Yang did not go directly to the podium, but walked to the area where Marseille club is located and hugged Marseille head coach Fernandez.

"Thank you, dad, I love you." Zhang Yang hugged Fernandez in an emotional mood. This old coach was his mentor and was as kind as a mountain to him.

"Zhang, I'm proud of you." Fernandez was also very excited. He had already emerged from the entanglement of Zhang Yang's transfer and leaving. He knew that players like Zhang Yang were not something that Marseille could have. Moreover, the better the future achievements of his disciples he trained, he would only be happier and proud of them! He once trained Zidane, and Fernandez wanted to see what Zhang Yang's future achievements would be.

Afterwards, Zhang Yang hugged Diouf, the chairman of the Marseille club. Although he left Marseille, he broke up peacefully with Marseille. Marseille did not spend a penny of transfer fees on him, but instead made a big profit now, so naturally there was no reason to have a quarrel with Zhang Yang.

There was warm applause at the scene.

Although Zhang Yang is now a player in AC Milan, the young man walked over and hugged the old master, saying that he had won the award from Marseille, which also gave Marseille a glory. Everyone praised this action. Even Zhang Yang's current boss AC Milan will only be happy about Zhang Yang's action, but not angry. This young man is a young man who knows how to be grateful.

"Zhang Yang, AC Milan striker, this young Chinese striker, scored 14 goals in the UEFA Champions League last season when he played for the Marseille last season, tying the record of 14 goals in the single-season Champions League set for Altafini for AC Milan for 44 years ago! At the same time, in the Ligue 1 League, he also defended the league's Golden Boot, and scored 37 goals, setting a new record for the single-season French Ligue 1 goal set and maintained by himself! He was definitely worthy of being the best forward in European football last season!"

With the introduction of the host, Zhang Yang stepped onto the stage and took over the trophy of the best striker from Savicevic!

"Thank you, thank you UEFA for awarding this trophy. As a striker, I am very excited to win the award for Best Forward. Because I know how excellent my competitors are." Some people say that Zhang Yang is unruly, vicious in words and unforgivable, but in fact, as long as others don't provoke Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang will never say anything. Cristiano Ronaldo is friends with him, and Kaka is his teammate. Zhang Yang has no stinginess in praise of these two competitors.

"Here, I would like to thank my mentor Mr. Fernandez, and for his teammates in Marseille, who have scored so many goals, and their teammates have helped me a lot. This trophy is also worthy of their contributions!"

After a brief speech, Zhang Yang also stayed on the stage. He was about to go out with UEFA officials to draw a fourth-level team, but female host Melissa Terrio stopped him.

"Zhang, wait a moment." Melissa Terrio said with a fascinating smile on his face, "You have another award."

Zhang Yang was stunned, and then understood.

The other award Melissa Terrio mentioned should be the European Golden Boot Award last season!

Melissa Terrio took over the European Golden Boot Award from the staff and presented her to Zhang Yang. When Zhang Yang took over the Golden Boot with both hands, a scene that made the audience exclaim. The beautiful female host stood on tiptoe and kissed Zhang Yang gently. Then, the female host with a blushing face pretended to be nothing, saying to the microphone, "This is a special gift I have given to the best European shooter last season."

Although Melissa Terrio said this, some people still think that things are not that simple. However, the stars, coaches and club executives on the scene were all there, and there was no too much gossip.

Only Cristiano Ronaldo tsk out, "I know."
