The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 1203
1203 Mr. Albertini, Grandmaster
At this time, UEFA announced the classification of the Champions League, as follows:
First-class teams: Leeds United, Manchester United, Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Seville and AC Milan.
Second-tier teams: Real Madrid, Juventus, Inter Milan, Porto, CSKA Moscow, Alkmar, Glasgow Rangers and Lyon
Third-tier teams: Atletico Madrid, Fiorentina, Stuttgart, Marseille, Dinamo Kiev, Olympiakos and Betaxis
Tier 4 teams: Wolfsburg, Standard Liege, Zurich, Kazan Ruby, Haifa Maccabi, Athletic Greece, Debrecen and Unilia
Yes, this is the top 32 teams in the Champions League this season!
This time, there are many new faces. Many small league teams have obtained the chance to enter the Champions League, such as Debrecen from the Hungarian league, Haifa Maccabi from the Israeli league, Unyari from the Romanian league, and so on.
Of course, the strength of this fourth-tier team had greatly decreased.
Of course, there is still a chance of appearing in the death squad this season, because teams of all levels have very strong teams.
The first level was naturally a very strong team. After all, this level was practically a rich club, with the exception of Sevilla. But Sevilla are also very strong, he is the spokesperson for the UEFA Cup, often won the championship, strength can not be underestimated.
There were really too many strong opponents in the second division. Real Madrid, Juventus and Inter were all super strong teams. This was the team that the first division wanted to avoid, and Albertini thought the same.
In the second division, there were teams that were considered fish bellies, such as Glasgow Rangers, CSKA Moscow and Alkmar. These teams are also the ones that Albertini wants to win, which is a good opponent.
Atletico Madrid, Fiorentina and Stuttgart are also strong and Albertini wants to avoid them.
In the fourth grade, there was Wolfsburg. This team’s strength was also very strong, and Standard Liege’s strength was not weak either. However, in the fourth level, the other teams were also weaker, so as long as they didn’t draw for Wolfsburg in this level, there wouldn’t be any group of death.
Of course, the Premier League teams have a high chance of getting into the Group of Death because they have no policy of avoiding teams in the second, third and fourth levels. So it could be in groups like the Premier League, Inter, Atletico Madrid and Wolfsburg, in groups like the Premier League, Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Wolfsburg, in groups like Real Madrid, Fiorentina and Wolfsburg!
Yes, the Premier League team is such a big deal!
Because the four Premier League teams are all first-class teams, it is impossible for them to get a group. Naturally, they will not have any evasive policies.
So the chances of Premier League teams getting into the Group of Death are high.
Now, everyone was wondering who would be this unlucky guy. Of course, the Premier League coaches would be happy not to be in the so-called group of the dead.
Very quickly, Infantino stepped onto the stage and began to introduce some teams in the top 32 of the Champions League this season, as well as some features of the Champions League this season, to promote the Champions League. So they are giving more league teams in Europe the chance to play in the Champions League, which is why there are so many unfamiliar faces at the fourth level.
Then, Infantino looked back at the spectacular moments of last season’s Champions League, when Leeds United’s trophy-winning appearance once again appeared in front of the Leeds United. The Leeds United were naturally very excited.
Then, Leeds United captain Zhong Zheng carried the UEFA Champions League trophy onto the podium, returning the UEFA Champions League trophy to UEFA and placing it in the center of the stage!
Leeds United have kept the Champions League trophy for some time and are now sending it back. The Leeds United Honours Room now houses a replica of the Champions League trophy that only clubs that have won five Champions League titles are said to be eligible to receive a real Champions League trophy.
There really aren’t many clubs with real trophies right now!
Obviously Albertini has such ambitions now, he wants Leeds United to have a chance to have a real Champions League trophy.
After that, Infantino introduced the teams participating in the Champions League this season, and a brief introduction of these teams was shown on the big screen.
After the introduction of these items, the first important thing came.
“After a fair and impartial vote, we announce that the 2010-2011 Champions League final will be held at Crown Stadium in England,” said Infantino in a neutral tone.
Video presentations of Leeds United’s new home, Crown Stadium, were immediately shown on the big screen.
Leeds United are very excited, next season’s Champions League final will be held at their home, they are hoping that the team can reach the final next season, and win the Champions League trophy at their own home.
The crowns stadium was introduced in detail on the big screen. The football players were all amazed. Leeds United’s home court was really too luxurious and advanced.
This is definitely one of the top professional football stadiums in Europe and the world!
This stadium used a lot of high-tech that other stadiums didn’t have at the moment. It was to make the stadium more comprehensive and practical.
Many people were tempted to build a football field like this.
Of course, the clubs that had plans to build the stadium were all prepared to go to Leeds United to learn from them. As for those club executives who had just finished building the new stadium, their hearts were dripping with blood. Countless MMP sentences were piling up on their chests, wanting to spit them out!
If only he had known that there was such an advanced item, his team would have installed it.
Yes, many people envy Leeds United for having such a modern high-tech stadium!
Of course, many players also envied Leeds United’s players. It was great to be able to play in such a safe and advanced stadium.
Albertini was very excited. Leeds United’s Crown Stadium had really been chosen. Amazing!
Tolliver Burch is also very important, he knows that after next year’s Champions League final, Leeds United will be more pressure, which is very, very helpful for the brand promotion of Leeds United.
Right now, the surroundings of Crown Stadium were filled with commercial entertainment circles, and it was simply extremely popular. After the baptism of the Champions League final, there will definitely be a lot of tourists who will come here as a humanistic attraction in the future. The brand of Leeds United Club will be improved even more.
Moreover, Leeds City would also gain a lot of benefits. This would tie Leeds City and Leeds United even more tightly, making it easier to do some things in the future.
After all, there were many benefits to this matter, and Tolliver Burch was very excited.
Tolliver Burch was really excited. Think about what he was doing five or six years ago. And now, he had actually reached such a state. Tolliver Burch is now very grateful to meet Zhong Cheng, this is his new starting point in life.
Of course, the Leeds United players were now paying attention to the drawing of lots ceremony.
Prior to the drawing of lots, the first prize was awarded. Leeds United’s Zhong Cheng won last season’s Champions League goalkeeper of the year award, there is no doubt. Zhong Zheng did very well last season, conceding very few goals, and he was a goalkeeper for the Champions League.
After that, the drawing of lots began. Soon, the teams of the first stage were all ranked. From Group A to Group H: Bayern Munich, Manchester United, AC Milan, Chelsea, Liverpool, Barcelona, Sevilla and Leeds United!
Leeds United were divided into the last group. Albertini suddenly felt that there was no problem with Leeds United this season.
At this time, the second prize was drawn, with Leeds United’s Compani winning last season’s Champions League centre-back of the year award. Leeds United could be the biggest winner of the season.
Next was the drawing of lots for the second group.
At this time, Albertini is very nervous, because at this time Real Madrid, Juventus and Inter are all going to participate in the drawing of lots. Leeds United still have a high chance of winning against them. Albertini is a little worried. Don’t draw against these teams.
Perhaps it was Albertini’s covert tactics that worked, but Leeds United did not turn out to be unlucky. Leeds United are very lucky. They got Alkmar in Holland.
The second-tier teams were also drawn, from Group A to Group H: Juventus, CSKA Moscow, Real Madrid, Porto, Lyon, Inter, Glasgow Rangers and Alkmar.
Bayern Munich, AC Milan and Barcelona were hit. They got three of the best teams in the second division. Seeing this, the mentality of the Serie A fans exploded. Was this f*cking Premier League team going to die last year and Italian team again this year?
However, it was quickly said that the Italian team had a tough time last season. It turned out that UEFA was going to kill Italian teams. Italian giants had already encountered strong teams!
Very quickly, a third prize was decided, with Cristiano Ronaldo winning the Champions League midfielder of the year award.
Following that was the draw for the third-tier teams. Atletico Madrid, Fiorentina and Stuttgart were also very powerful in the third-tier teams. Albertini began to secretly try to avoid these three teams.
Albertini was truly amazing. He was simply a master. Their Leeds United managed to bypass the three teams again and drew an average team, Olympiakos.
Third-tier teams have also been drawn out, from Group A to Group H: Bordeaux, Beta Xis, Marseille, Atletico Madrid, Fiorentina, Dinamo Kiev, Stuttgart and Olympiakos.
Fortunately, the Absolute Death Group did not appear. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the worst thing didn’t happen. Many people were really relieved.
A fourth award has been decided, with Barcelona’s Rio Messi winning last season’s Champions League striker of the year award.
Then there was the drawing of lots for the fourth level, and the only thing to pay attention to in the fourth level was Wolfsburg. Albertini insists he will not meet the Bundesliga side and Leeds United have had a very lucky day.
Sure enough, Leeds United missed Wolfsburg against Standard Liege.
The fourth-tier teams were also finished, with Haifa Maccabi, Wolfsburg, Zurich, Athletics Greece, Debrecen, Kazan Ruby, Unilia and Standard Liege in descending order from Group A to Group H.
In the end, Leeds United’s Cristiano Ronaldo won last season’s Champions League Player of the Year award.
