Football King Bale

On the morning of August 29, Bell, Ferguson and Manchester United’s new CEO Ed Woodward flew to Monaco on Bell’s Asgard. On this evening, the 2012-2013 UEFA Awards Ceremony and the 2013-2014 Champions League The draw will be held at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco.

As the core of Manchester United, Bell won the Champions League Golden Boot and was naturally shortlisted for the top three candidates for UEFA's best player. The other two shortlisted are, no surprise, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Originally, Ribery, who would have won the best player in another time and space this time, lost the opportunity to advance to the final three-man roster because Bayern lost to Manchester United in the Champions League final.

Compared with the absolute success of this award in the previous two years, this selection has a few more variables. Because Messi performed very well in La Liga last season. Not only did he lead Barcelona to regain the La Liga championship, tying the La Liga points record set by Real Madrid a season ago, but he also scored 46 goals in La Liga. Bale, who scored 41 goals, won the European Golden Boot. This has led some Spanish media, especially Catalan media, to believe that Messi is also qualified to win the UEFA Player of the Year award last season.

But in fact, anyone with any sense knows that although Messi snatched the European Golden Boot from Bale, he still has no chance of winning UEFA's best player. The most important thing is Bell and Manchester United. In the past season, their results were too dazzling.

Winning the Quadruple Crown again and winning the Triple Crown three times in a row is a miracle that has never happened in the history of football. Although Bell is slightly inferior to Messi in terms of league goals, that is because Bell took many games off after Manchester United won the Premier League earlier. Otherwise, the European Golden Boot will most likely belong to Bell.

More importantly, Bell also led Manchester United to win the Champions League and won the Champions League Golden Boot for the third time in a row.

………………

After a brief ceremony, Bale, Messi and Ronaldo, the three giants in world football, were invited to the podium together. Because he was scolded by Bale in the crowd of three, Cristiano Ronaldo came to the award ceremony bravely and did not become a deserter.

Media representatives from UEFA's 53 member football associations voted for the three players on site. Each media member had a chance to vote, and the player with the highest accumulated votes was elected the best.

The voting was very fast, and the final result was announced quickly. There was no surprise. Bale won the final victory, and the number of votes he received was also super high. He received 43 of the total 53 votes, while Messi received 7 votes. C Luo only had 3 votes.

UEFA President Platini took the stage to announce the final winner. Bale, who led Manchester United to achieve an unprecedented three consecutive trebles in football history, finally beat Ronaldo and Messi to win the best award.

Platini presented the UEFA Player of the Year Award to Bale, who held the trophy at the scene and expressed his gratitude to his teammates, club staff and family.

Finally, Bale invited Messi and Ronaldo to take a photo together. He himself held the base of the Best Player Trophy, while Messi and Ronaldo held the two corners of the Best Player Trophy.

However, the expressions of the three people in the camera are different. Bell has a bright smile on his face. Messi was also smiling, but there was a bit of bitterness in his smile. As for Ronaldo, he looked depressed.

After the birth of last season's UEFA Player of the Year, the draw ceremony for the group stage of the new season's UEFA Champions League was immediately held.

The draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League group stage was hosted by British BBC anchor Pedro Pinto and Miss Switzerland Melanie Wenig. Before the draw ceremony began, a retrospective short film of last season's UEFA Champions League final was shown on the big screen. The short film started with In the form of an art gallery, it reviews Manchester United's journey of winning the Champions League trophy last season.

The last shot is the moment when the Manchester United team lifts the Champions League trophy.

After the screening of the short film, McNeil, who once led the Scottish powerhouse Celtic to win the Champions League trophy, walked into the draw ceremony holding the trophy in hand.

The drawing of lots officially begins,

The first draw guest is Portuguese legendary star and Champions League ambassador Figo. Under the auspices of UEFA Secretary General Infantino, the draw ceremony officially began. Infantino first introduced the rules of the draw. The 32 teams were divided into 4 levels and evenly divided into 8 groups. Teams from the same league will not meet.

As a team that has won three consecutive Champions League titles and won four Champions League trophies in the past six seasons, Manchester United has undoubtedly become the first-tier team and is the team that leads the UEFA points rankings. The remaining seven first-tier teams are Barcelona, ​​Chelsea, Bayern, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Benfica and Porto.

………………

McNeil and Figo placed Arsenal in Group F, then the two placed Chelsea in Group E, Real Madrid in Group B, Bayern in Group D, Barcelona in Group H, and Benfica in Group C. Group, Porto was assigned to Group G and Manchester United was assigned to Group A.

In Group B, Plzen Victory was assigned to Group D, and Austria Vienna was assigned to Group G.

At this point, the UEFA Champions League group stage draw has concluded.

………………

Both Santoku and Ferguson are quite satisfied with this draw result. Although two of their three opponents are teams from the five major leagues, and the other Shakhtar team is also a strong player in the Champions League, it is almost impossible to say that they can threaten Manchester United's qualification.

It can be said that this is already a top signing for Manchester United, because they missed out on AC Milan, Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and many other powerful players in the second tier.

After the Champions League draw ceremony, Bell, Sir Alex and Santoku took the Asgard again and flew to Prague, the Czech capital, because this year's European Super Cup changed the tradition of being held in Monaco. Starting from this year, the venue for the European Super Cup will be determined by competition between member states affiliated with UEFA.

The two sides of this game are Manchester United and Chelsea. This is also the second consecutive year that there has been a civil war between Premier League teams in the European Super Cup.

Of course, this is another confrontation between Ferguson and his old enemy Mourinho, who has returned to the Premier League. It is also the second game between the Red Devils and the Blues in four days.

Just four days ago, Chelsea, the blue team led by Mourinho, had just tied with the powerful Manchester United at Old Trafford and reached the top of the Premier League standings.

The new season of the Champions League has not yet begun. Such a strong dialogue between the Super Cup will undoubtedly sound the opening whistle for the new season of European football.

In addition to the game itself, the confrontation between the coaches of the two teams, Ferguson and Mourinho, is also very eye-catching. These two top coaches in today's football have been competing against each other all year round in the Champions League and Premier League. There were many sparks.

………………

The prize money for this game is very generous. The winner will receive 3 million euros, and the loser will also receive 2.2 million euros.

Both sides attach great importance to this game, and both teams basically sent out their strongest lineups to face it. Especially for Manchester United, Bell, who had just recovered from injury, appeared in the starting lineup.

After the opening, Chelsea took the lead. In the eighth minute, Hazard broke through, Schürrle made a pass, and Torres scored from behind.

Although his form has been poor since joining Chelsea, Torres's scoring performance has been unrivaled. Torres has scored goals in the seven top competitions in world football. Everyone has to admit that he has become a big winner in life.

In the subsequent game, Manchester United was the main attacker and Chelsea was the main defender. Manchester United had a 64:36 advantage in possession of the ball throughout the game, and a 37:14 lead in shots.

Manchester United finally tied the score in the 47th minute when Bale, who had just won three consecutive European Player of the Year titles, scored.

Next, before the end of regular time, in the 85th minute, Chelsea's midfielder Ramirez reached out to drag Bell down after being broken through by Bell. He received the second yellow card of the game. Two yellow cards turned into one red and he was sent off. Chelsea Ten men had to take on the challenge and finish the rest of the game.

Chelsea, with one less player to play, could no longer stop Manchester United's tidal offensive. When the game entered stoppage time, Manchester United successfully countered offside. Bell changed lines from the left, broke through Chelsea's defense, cut in to the small penalty area, and passed by. After David Luiz defended, he fired a low shot with his right foot, triggering the decisive blow and the shot was successful.

Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech, who performed well in this game and was cheered by tens of thousands of local Czech fans, could not do anything about Bell's sudden shot.

Shortly after Bell scored the goal, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

With Bale's two goals and a buzzer-beater, Manchester United also successfully won their second championship of the new season and also achieved three consecutive European Super Cups.
