Chapter 672 Domineering Declaration
When Group H drew Zenit St. Petersburg, the on-site director quickly showed the German Schuster's face.
Obviously...he has a lot of facial expressions.
In fact, it is normal for Ramos to have this expression. Real Madrid and Juventus, who have returned to the Champions League, as well as last season's UEFA Cup champion Zenit, can be called the "group of death".
However, this has little to do with Chelsea.
At the same time, the other head coaches in Group A—G were laughing wildly in their hearts, especially Guardiola, who had just taken over as the head coach of Barcelona, because Real Madrid, who had fallen into the death group, must not care about the league. This was good news for him who had just taken over as the head coach of Barcelona.
Next up was the award for best midfielder, with Ballack, Lampard and Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo selected for the trio.
In fact, after the final list of three candidates came out, there was no suspense anymore. Because of Aiello's super performance last season, it is obvious that he will win the best striker and best player awards.
So... They borrowed from last season's selection method and let Cristiano Ronaldo, who often plays the position of winger, be selected as the best midfielder.
This will also allow last season's Champions League runner-up Manchester United to have the best award income.
Sure enough, after the VCRs of the three candidates were played on the big screen, the UEFA president opened the card and said: "The best midfielder is --- Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United!"
There was applause at the scene, and Aiello, who is a good friend of Cristiano Ronaldo, also clapped his hands vigorously.
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't look too happy, but he shined when he delivered his acceptance speech.
He stood on the podium, turned his head and glanced at the UEFA Champions League logo trophy, which symbolizes the best midfielder, and then said helplessly: "Actually, I am not happy to win the best midfielder, because... I was born to score goals, and the best striker is my goal, but... someone performed better than me last season." Speaking of this, his voice changed, and his voice was louder twice: "So I will perform better in the new season than last season, so as to win the best forward and best player in the new season, thank you!"
Cristiano Ronaldo's acceptance speech was not fancy, but it resonated with countless players on the scene. A true professional player has a heart to become the strongest, and Cristiano Ronaldo showed his heart to become the strongest on the podium.
But Messi, who came to the conference center with coach Guardiola, didn't take it seriously. In his mind, only he had the chance to surpass Aiello.
other players?Let's practice for a few more years...
You must know that under the leadership of the Argentine Olympic team, BJ won the Olympic gold medal, and... What is more relieved is to defeat the Chinese Olympic team led by Ai Luo and climb to the top.
In addition, Ronaldinho transferred from Barcelona to AC Milan a few days ago, and the club executives handed over the vacant No. 10 jersey to him without hesitation. This is a recognition!
Thinking of this, he instinctively turned his head to look at the Chelsea coach and players sitting in the front left...

The final draw was for the fourth-tier teams, and Chelsea's Group A was from Cluj, Belgium.
Everyone thought that there was only one group of death in group H, but what they didn't expect was that when group D was drawn, the second group of death appeared.
In addition to Liverpool thriving in Group D, Eindhoven, Marseille and Atletico Madrid are similar in strength and have the hope of advancing. If they play well, they may even threaten Liverpool's first position in the group.
So Benitez's expression is not good.
Until Borisol, the last fourth-tier team, was drawn to Group H, the draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2008-2009 season was all over.
Group A: Chelsea, Roma, Bordeaux, Club Brugge
Group B: Inter Milan, Werder Bremen, Panathinaikos, Anorthosis
Group C: Barcelona, Sporting Lisbon, Basel, Shakhtar Donetsk
Group D: Liverpool, PSV, Marseille, Atletico Madrid
Group E: Manchester United, Valencia, Celtic, Alborg
Group F: Lyon, Bayern Munich, Steaua, Fiorentina
Group G: Arsenal, Porto, Fenerbahce, Dynamo Kiev
Group H: Real Madrid, Juventus, Zenit St Petersburg, Borisol
All the 32 teams that have entered the 2008-2009 UEFA Champions League match have all been drawn, and the next two awards are the best striker and best player.
There is no difference between this award and the one awarded in the UEFA Champions League group draw last season, both of which were won by Aiello.
Next, it is the place where the players, coaches, guests, and the media focus on - Ai Luo, who has won the two best awards, came to the stage to deliver his acceptance speech.
What's interesting is that at this moment, both Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi sat upright, their eyes fixed on Aiello who was about to deliver his acceptance speech.
Of course, only they know their state of mind at this time.
Everyone on the earth knows that Aiello is currently at the peak of his status and strength. If he wants to become the No.1 in the world, he must catch up with Aiello in terms of personal performance and team honor. In the current world football, there are only two people who are closest to Aiello——Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi.
Therefore, the on-site director also gave the shots to the faces of the two of them very meaningfully.
At the same time, Ai Luo coughed twice and found that there was nothing wrong with the microphone in his hand, so he raised his head and looked at the audience.
In fact, instead of describing it as looking down the stage, it would be better to say that he looked in the direction of Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi respectively, smiled, and then said: "I know that at this moment, my two friends really want to appear on this stage next season, but I am here to tell you...the situation that appears here is only in a dream, because...in reality, only I can do this. I am the No.1 in football!!"
Just when the facial expressions of Ronaldo and Messi changed significantly, Ai Luo changed his voice: "But... you can use your own efforts to defeat me, I am here! Waiting for your surpassing... Thank you!!" After finishing speaking, he raised the two best trophies in his hand.
For a while, none of the guests at the scene reacted.
Because... Ai Luo's declaration is too domineering!
Football No.1, waiting for you to surpass.
In the end, the four players who won the five best awards of last season all returned to the stage for a group photo. The three Chelsea players Cech, Terry and Aiello double-teamed Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo. That is to say, in the UEFA Champions League last season, the performance of Chelsea players was overall ahead of Manchester United.

The next day, mainstream European media reported on the draw ceremony for the 2008-2009 UEFA Champions League group stage that ended yesterday evening.
Among them, the report focuses on Ai Luo's domineering speech after winning two best awards.
The headline of "French Football" is: Once again won the two best, seek to surpass!
"The draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League group stage for the 2008-2009 season was concluded at the Grimaldi Conference Center in Monte Carlo, Monaco yesterday evening. Except for Group D and Group H, where the 'group of death' is exciting, the other six groups are all strong and weak. The strong teams from the major leagues will likely easily enter the top [-] of the UEFA Champions League in the new season."
"...It is worth mentioning that after Chelsea won the UEFA Super Cup the night before, they won four awards again in the evening yesterday evening. Among them, the number one star in the team, Ai, has won the title of best striker and best player in the UEFA Champions League for two consecutive seasons. I wonder if anyone can challenge his authority after the start of the new season? Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United? Or Leo Messi who just took over Ronaldinho's No. 10 jersey? Let us wait and see..."
The authoritative German newspaper "Kicker" also said: "...Ai's performance last season can be said to be one of the most brilliant seasons of his career. It is not surprising that he won the best striker and best player in the UEFA Champions League for two consecutive seasons. This is the official recognition of his strength!"
"Chelsea played a very hard game against Manchester United in the Community Shield without Ai before the season. In the end, they lost 1:2. However, in Ai's first game back to the team, the whole team seemed to have found their soul. They defeated last season's UEFA Cup champion Zenit St. Petersburg 4-0 cleanly, showing their due strength to win all the championships in the new season. I believe this season Ai will lead the ambitious Chelsea to the top again!"
As the most influential newspaper in England, "The Times" has a very clear attitude. As always, it is on Chelsea's side. The title is: Who will compete in the new season?
"In the blink of an eye, the draw for the 2008-2009 UEFA Champions League group stage has come to an end, which means that the new season of the UEFA Champions League is about to kick off... Chelsea's coach Mourinho and core player Ai Du, who won the Grand Slam last season, expressed their determination to climb to the top again last week... However, the new season of the UEFA Champions League will be unprecedentedly intense, because Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona have all increased their team investment to make the lineup more perfect! And... Chelsea wants to defend the title Grand Slam, then Ai, who announced 'Football No.1' and 'Waiting for you to surpass', will take on greater responsibilities..."
