The 2007-2008 Champions League group stage draw has begun.

The draw for the Champions League group was officially launched by UEFA Secretary-General Infantino, who announced the start of the UEFA Champions League group draw.

Then UEFA president Alessandro Platini appeared with the Champions League trophy in hand.

Platini also spoke on stage, full of anticipation for the new season.

After that, Infantino started to introduce the 32 teams in the Champions League. The big screen on the stage showed the introductions of the 32 teams.

Zhong Cheng’s gaze stopped at this big screen. He watched carefully to see what level the top 32 teams were at this time.

After the video was played, Infantino claimed that UEFA had divided the 32 teams into four levels through team and league points. When the group drew lots, teams of the same level would not meet, and teams from the same association would not meet.

At this moment, the big screen behind Infantino showed up in the top 32 of the Champions League this season, as follows:

First team: AC Milan, Barcelona, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Leeds United, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United

Second team: Valencia, Lyon, Porto, Seville, Eindhoven, Roma, Benfica, Werder Bremen

Third division: Marseille, Celtic, Schalke 04, Stuttgart, Bucharest, CSKA Moscow, Sporting Lisbon, Lazio

Fourth team: Rosenberg, Glasgow Rangers, Dinamo Kiev, Beta Ksis, Donetsk Miners, Olympia Cos, Fenerbahce and Prague Slavia

Yes, Bundesliga’s Bayern Munich did not make it into the top three of the Bundesliga and are out of the Champions League this season. Just like Arsenal in the Premier League, they are out of the top four and out of the Champions League this season.

Zhong Cheng saw the windshield. The only team in the second tier was afraid of Rome. Roma were very strong. If they were assigned to a group, they had to be careful. If they added a Bundesliga team, then this group would be a true death group.

Zhong Cheng naturally did not want Leeds United to be assigned to such a group. He hoped that Leeds United’s group would be as easy as possible.

Leeds United players watched the Champions League draw on television.

Zhong Zheng is sitting next to Zhong Cheng because he was nominated for the best goalkeeper in the Champions League. I wonder if he will win the award or not.

Zhong was joined by AC Milan goalkeeper Dida, who won the Champions League last season, and Chelsea goalkeeper Peter Cech, who won the Champions League title last season,

Infantino introduced the draw rules for this Champions League group match. The teams under the same level of football association will not be divided into the same group, so there is nothing else to worry about.

At this point, Infantino will present a prize for the best goalkeeper in the Champions League last season before drawing lots.

Infantino claims: “AC Milan’s Dida, Chelsea’s Peter Cech and Leeds United’s Aldrich Bell are among the top goalkeepers of the 2006-2007 Champions League.”

Every time a person’s name was spoken, the cameras on the scene were aimed at that person, and the atmosphere on the scene was adjusted to the most tense moment.

It was at this moment that Infantino announced: “The winner of the Champions League goalkeeper of the year 2006-2007 was Peter Cech, from Chelsea!”

The corners of Zhong Zheng’s mouth curled slightly before he applauded and congratulated.

Evidently, Zhong Zheng himself was unconvinced. He believed that this award should belong to him. But he did lose to Peter Cech in the end.

Zhong Zheng believes that the reason he did not win the award is because Leeds United did not make it into the Champions League quarter-finals, which made Zhong Zheng very unhappy. At the same time, he was determined to lead Leeds United into the Champions League quarter-finals and even directly win the Champions League.

Zhong Cheng understood Zhong Zheng very well. He patted Zhong Zheng on the shoulder and said, “It doesn’t matter. The best goalkeeper in the Champions League this season will definitely be yours!”

Zhong Zheng looked up at Zhong Cheng and said, “I think so too! Don’t worry, I’m not depressed. I feel like my body is filled with energy!”

Zhong Cheng smiled and nodded.

Jack goalkeeper Peter Cech from Chelsea has stepped up to receive the award, the first award to be presented today.

Then Infantino announced that the drawing of lots was beginning. The first team to be drawn was the first-class team. Of course, picking first-tier teams is not often stimulating, because it is simply a matter of sorting, allowing the first-tier teams to return to their respective positions.

The guests invited by Infantino began to draw lots. The first to draw was Real Madrid. They were drawn into Group C. The second Red Devils United team to be drawn was drawn into Group F. The third to be drawn was Liverpool, who were drawn into Group A. The fourth Barcelona to be pulled out, they were pulled into Group E.

By this time, half of the first-tier teams had already been drawn out, but they still hadn’t arrived at Leeds United. Zhong Cheng’s heart was still in turmoil.

The fifth team to be drawn was Leeds United. They were assigned to Group H, the last group. The sixth to be drawn was Inter Milan, who were drawn into Group G. The seventh to be drawn was AC Milan, and the defending champions were drawn in Group D. The last one was naturally Chelsea and they were assigned to Group B.

At this time, the results of the draw for the first-grade team were out. Everyone was already in good shape. Next was the time to be nervous and excited. It was time to select a second-tier team.

At this moment, many people were thinking of avoiding Roma.

Zhong Cheng smiled faintly. According to FIFA’s bad taste, Zhong Cheng felt that Roma were very likely to be hit by Red Manchester United. Because Roma and Manchester United played in the knockout stages of last season’s Champions League, and Roma were bloodbathed 7-1 by Manchester United, the two sides took on a death grudge. If the two teams met in the group stage, they would definitely have something to look forward to.

In the past, there had indeed been similar draw results in the Champions League. No wonder so many people claimed that UEFA’s draw was a secret operation. It had long been planned by UEFA. These drawing ceremonies were just a formality.

Zhong Cheng also imagined that if that was the case, UEFA would still be able to put Chelsea and Valencia in the same group, because Chelsea also played Valencia in the Champions League knockout game last season, and there was also some unhappiness between the two teams. Who knew if they would meet again earlier this time?

Zhong Cheng’s eyes were fixated on Infantino. Could this fellow really dare to do this?

However, before that, UEFA will have to come up with another award for the best centre-back in the Champions League last season, with AC Milan centre-back Nesta, Liverpool centre-back Jamie Carragher and Chelsea centre-back John Terry nominated.

After seeing these people, there was no suspense at all. Sure enough, the 2006-07 Champions League Guard of the Year award went to defending champions AC Milan centre-back Nesta, who went on stage to receive the award and made his comments.

Next, the most nervous and exciting group drew lots.

This was a second-grade team. Now that the grouping was about to start, everyone present and in front of the TV started to get nervous, one after another.

It was at this moment that Infantino invited the second guest to draw lots today, and then drew lots for the group.

First of all, the team drawn by the guests was Roma!

Zhong Chengxin was shocked. Oh my God, should I make such a big deal from the start?

Roma are the strongest teams in the second division, and they are also the last teams they want to meet in the first division. Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

It’s dangerous. Who’s going to draw for Roma?

Zhong Cheng was also worried that Leeds United would be drawn to Rome, but he still felt that according to UEFA’s urinary nature, it was definitely Manchester United, it must be Manchester United.

At this moment, Zhong Cheng couldn’t help but glance at Alex Ferguson.

Alex Ferguson raised his eyebrows and his face darkened. Feeling Zhong Cheng’s gaze, he immediately said indifferently, “What, are you really treating a gentleman like a lowly person? UEFA …”

Before Alex Ferguson could finish his sentence, Infantino opened the piece of paper in his hand and read aloud, “Group F! Roma and Manchester United are in the same group!”

Hearing this, Zhong Cheng burst into laughter and couldn’t hold back!

Alex Ferguson’s face was ashen, and his psychiatrist was filled with endless rage!

The damned UEFA was actually operating in such a flagrant manner. It was simply insulting the public’s intelligence. Damn UEFA, damn it, it was garbage!

The Roma coach Spalletti’s expression was also very ugly and his mood was very bad.

The scene was strangely quiet. It seemed that many had already guessed that UEFA would put Roma and Manchester United in the same group. Now that this matter had truly occurred, everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air and had nothing to say.

UEFA is really awesome. It is actually so blatant. After the drawing of lots, there will definitely be all sorts of shady comments. UEFA is going to be hacked very miserably again.

Zhong Cheng also gave UEFA a thumbs up in his heart. This group of guys really dared to play. Moreover, they were playing so brazenly. This group of people from UEFA were really the heroes of the heroes!

Zhong Cheng raised his head to look at Infantino. Could this fellow really have given Valencia to Chelsea? If that was the case, UEFA would really be courting death!

At this moment, the other coaches all thought the same as Zhong Cheng and waited quietly.

At this moment, Chelsea and Valencia’s head coach were both a little worried and nervous. The two of them exchanged glances and felt a very tacit understanding in their hearts. It seemed that their Chelsea were really going to be in the same group as Valencia this time.

Everyone on the scene and in front of the TV was staring at Infantino on the stage. They were all guessing if this guy would let such a thing happen?
