At the end of August every year, Monaco's Grimalti Convention Center becomes the focus of attention of fans around the world.

The annual Champions League group stage draw ceremony will be held here, and there will be an UEFA annual award ceremony.

In the past few years, Yang Yang has been the protagonist of the Grimalti Convention Center, and this year it is also.

With the long-distance raid that defeated Atletico Madrid two days ago, Yang Yang completely conquered the picky European football world, making everyone praise him, so that when he appeared at the Grimalti Convention Center, not only were the fans outside calling him, but the football people in the conference center were also talking about him.

Those who know each other come over to say hello, and those who are not familiar will nod from afar.

Now Yang Yang has already won a decent position in European football with his brilliant achievements in the past few years.

Of course, there will definitely be some extreme fans looking at him with racist eyes, but these are not mainstream, and more fans and football people still admire the strong.

This is also the reality of professional football, the strong are king!

However, this year's European Player of the Year must have missed Yang Yang, because in the Champions League final last season, Barcelona defeated Bayern Munich 2-1 with Messi's double score, and finally won the Champions League championship that had been away for several years.

This is also Messi's first Champions League title in his career, so the Argentinian is particularly excited.

It can be predicted that he will be the protagonist tonight.

UEFA was worried that Yang Yang would be absent before, so Platini called Yang Yang privately, but Yang Yang smiled and said that he would not be absent and would definitely come to the scene to congratulate Messi on winning the award.

The reason is very simple. For him, this is both a demeanor and a driving force.

Watching Messi win the award will make Yang Yang more motivated.

The number of on-site votes in the top three European Player of the Year is very close. Messi took 21 votes, Bayern Munich's Ribery took 17 votes, and Yang Yang got 15 votes, because Yang Yang won the three best scorers in the Champions League, La Liga and the Copa del Rey last season, and also won the European Golden Boot Award.

Over the past few years, he has always regarded the European Golden Boot Award as his own pocket, even though he has not let it go last season.

When Platini announced that Messi won the award, Yang Yang stood up very gracefully, congratulated Messi on winning the award, and hugged him, acting very freely because he had won this award for many years.

It’s not that he doesn’t care, he just doesn’t take it too seriously.

...

Before the European Player of the Year awards, the results of the Champions League group stage draw were also freshly released.

Real Madrid was assigned to Group B, and the second draws his old enemy Juventus, Galatasaray in the third draws, and Copenhagen in Denmark in the fourth draws.

Needless to say, Juventus has a good overall strength. After sweeping the Serie A league, this Serie A overlord is ambitious to make a difference in the Champions League. From the current point of view, his strength is good, but it is still a bit difficult to say that he can shake Real Madrid.

Of course, Real Madrid cannot be careless at all. Once they perform poorly or have a low condition, they may fall at the feet of Juventus, which will be quite troublesome.

Turkey's Galatasaray is also very strong. He owns Turkey's devil's home court and has famous players such as Drogba. His overall strength is not bad. He also reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season, which shows that this Turkish team is still quite competitive.

As for Copenhagen, the fourth-level team, this team has nearly half of the Danish national team, and its strength is also not bad, and it has rich European experience. It is also worth noting that Nordics entered the winter very early, which will be a big challenge for Real Madrid in Spain and Juventus in Italy, especially the away game in the snowy Denmark.

Overall, Real Madrid's strength is the most promising group first, but you must not be careless. Juventus is sitting in two and looking for one. If the results against Real Madrid are good, the Zebras may not have no chance to step on Real Madrid.

As for Galatasaray, his strength is not enough to compete for the first place in the group, but he still has the strength to second place in the group. In particular, it should be considered whether Juventus will have a sluggish group stage performance like Manchester City last season?

Copenhagen is more likely to accompany the prince to study, but their strength makes everyone dare not underestimate it. It is unlikely to attack the right to qualify, but there is still the ability to disrupt the situation.

...

After the lottery ceremony, as usual, Yang Yang and club representative Butragno were interviewed by media reporters on the spot.

Yang Yang smiled and expressed satisfaction with the lottery.

"In fact, we don't care who we draw, because our goals have always been clear. No matter who we are, we can't stop us. We will definitely qualify from the group and will definitely move forward."

After fully expressing his strong confidence, Yang Yang cautiously stated that the team needs to pay attention.

"No one can guarantee that he will qualify for 100%, and we cannot do so. This requires us to play every game well, whether it is Juventus, Galatasaray, or Copenhagen, they are all very difficult teams."

When the reporter wanted Yang Yang to comment on the three opponents, the first person Yang Yang mentioned was Galatasaray.

"Their home court is very strong and the fans are very passionate. We played away last season. It was an unforgettable and very difficult game. I think we should learn from our lessons and pay more attention to our opponents."

"In my impression, we don't seem to have a record of competing with Copenhagen, right? No? Yes, I remember that there is no, but this also proves from another perspective that we don't understand our opponents, this is their advantage, and the Nordic climate will be a huge challenge for us."

Yang Yang feels that Juventus needs no more to say, this is a very powerful team.

"I just made some special schedule. After playing Juventus in the group stage, we will immediately play against Barcelona. I think this schedule is quite terrifying." Yang Yang said jokingly.

This is undoubtedly because everyone knows that Juventus and Real Madrid are the first in the group, while Real Madrid and Barcelona are the century derby. To some extent, both games will determine the trend of Real Madrid on both fronts.

More importantly, both opponents are very strong.

This is very troublesome, especially considering that there are two weeks of national team competitions in October.

However, Yang Yang changed his tone and smiled confidently: "It is precisely because of the terror that it is particularly challenging."

After a pause, Yang Yang continued to say, "Before I came to Monaco, my teammates told me to relax and not be nervous. No matter who the opponent I draw is, there is only one final result, and we will win!"

…………

…………

After attending the grand event in Monaco, Yang Yang rushed back to Madrid without stopping.

On the weekend, Real Madrid ushered in the third round of La Liga, facing Athletic Bilbao at home.

Since Barcelona will play against Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup, the third round is ahead of schedule. They defeated Valencia three-to-two with Messi's hat-trick away.

The Bats chased two goals in the second half and almost tied the score, but ultimately failed to create a miracle.

...

In Real Madrid's match against Athletic Bilbao, Ancelotti adjusted the squad.

The goalkeeper is Casillas, the defense is Marcelo, Fermuren, Ramos and Carvajal, the midfield is Isco, Xavi Martinez and Modric, and the front tridents are Hazard, Yang Yang and Di Maria.

Isco performed quite eye-catchingly during the period after joining Real Madrid, only a little bleak in the game against Atletico Madrid, but Ancelotti still arranged for him to play against the Basque Lions in this game.

The Spanish midfielder is characterized by its agility and strong dribbling ability, especially the one that gets rid of it, which is very outstanding, but also has many disadvantages, which is that the pace is slow and prefers to dribble and stick to the ball too much, which can sometimes seriously slow down the team's counterattack speed.

But he has been in a very hot state recently, and David Silva is still adjusting, and there is no reason for Ancelotti not to use Isco.

Sure enough, after the opening, Isco was very active again.

In the 26th minute, Yang Yang retreated and received the ball and passed it behind him with a kick. Isco successfully counterattacked and made a shot in the penalty area, opening the first record for Real Madrid and scoring a goal.

In the first half stoppage time, Di Maria cooperated with Carvajal on the right and made a cross. Yang Yang arrived in front of the goal and headed the ball to win another goal for Real Madrid, 2-0.

After the side change in the second half, Real Madrid once again maintained their advantage on the field.

In the 53rd minute, after receiving the ball, Yang Yang forcibly broke through to the edge of the penalty area. When he could hit the ball, he resolutely chose to pass the ball horizontally to Di Maria, who was better at the back point, and there was no one defending him. The Argentine easily pushed the ball into an empty goal, expanding the score to three to zero.

In the 72nd minute, Yang Yang pulled to the left and cooperated with Hazard. He dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough on the left side of the penalty area. He made a cross from the bottom. Isco in the middle followed and shot and made a shot, further expanding the score for Real Madrid, four to zero!

Then in the 79th minute, Athletic Bilbao made a quick counterattack, DeMarcos made a cross from Real Madrid on the left side, and the unguarded Gomez pushed the ball to score, winning a goal for the Basque Lions.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Athletic Bilbao four-to-one with Isco's double score, Yang Yang's assist hat-trick and a goal at his home court, and played the most exciting game of the season.

However, Atletico Madrid also defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 away in this round and continued to maintain three consecutive victories.

In this way, the three La Liga champions all started with three consecutive victories and performed very strongly.

In the scorer list, Messi led La Liga with eight goals and scored two consecutive hat-tricks. Yang Yang has only scored three goals so far, which is equal to new aid Isco, but also has three assists.

So much so that after this round of battle, many media believe that European football is ushering in an era that belongs to Barcelona and Messi.
