NOVEL NEXT Chapter 423 European Super Cup
In the second round of the league, Arsenal returned home to face the challenge of Newcastle United.
Newcastle United's strength is pretty good, especially at home.
But I can't be too complimentary about their away results - if their home and away results were good, then they could compete for fourth place.
So it's no surprise that Arsenal cleanly defeated Newcastle [-]-[-] at home.
However, considering that Arsenal rotated almost half of their main players at home in this game.
In this case, he can defeat his opponent so easily.
Arsenal's strength makes the English media very worried.
Worried that Arsenal will become the dominant player in the Premier League in the future.
"This Arsenal team is too strong. They have a very complete and powerful lineup. Although it is undeniable that Arsenal's strength has a lot to do with Ye Luo, but who made Ye Luo so physically fit? They can definitely do it with Ye Luo. With Luo as the core, we have created two equally strong lineups."
After the game.
Some media commented this way.
After neatly solving Newcastle United.
Arsenal traveled to Prague, the Czech capital of the Eastern European country.
They were going to the European Super Cup.
Originally the Super Cup was held in Monaco.
But that changed this year.
It became a bid for major European cities to host the event.
So this year's Super Cup will be held in Prague.
Two teams that won the European Championship last season will compete fiercely at the Prague Stadium to compete for the final European King of Champions trophy!
The opponents were Arsenal, the Champions League champions.
and Serbia from Spain.
Serbia is now almost turning the Europa League into the Serbian Cup.
They won the Europa League for the second consecutive season.
Emery's team.
Really good at playing in the Europa League.
Although the Europa League is less valuable than the Champions League.
But after all, he can be considered a European champion.
And Serbia is also a La Liga giant.
Definitely not to be underestimated.
For Arsenal.
There is a small problem.
That's where the Super Cup is played in Prague.
However, the UEFA awards and the draw for the Champions League and Europa League are held in Monaco.
So Arsenal had to divide their forces into two groups.
On the way to Prague.
While going to Monaco to attend the awards and draw ceremony.
Arsenal general manager Gazidis replaced Wenger in the Champions League draw.
But he cannot replace the award.
Because the protagonist of the award is Ye Luo.
As the core player who led Arsenal across Europe last season.
He is the favorite for this year's UEFA Ballon d'Or.
Many media broke the news before the game.
Ye Luo will receive this award.
The UEFA Ballon d'Or and the FIFA Ballon d'Or are two different awards.
The former can be regarded as being launched by UEFA to compete with FIFA.
Between FIFA and the continental football federations, the football federations of each continent and the football associations of various countries.
In fact, it is not a superior-subordinate relationship.
It's more of a level relationship.
There are many things that FIFA has no control over UEFA.
Europe is the center of world football.
So sometimes UEFA has more power than FIFA.
Moreover, UEFA has many very influential events.
Champions League, European Cup, Europa League, etc.
These events have almost eaten up most of the football market.
If it weren't for FIFA, it would still be holding a World Cup that would never be snatched away.
FIFA is now unlikely to have the strength to compete with UEFA.
FIFA has the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
UEFA correspondingly launched a UEFA Ballon d'Or award.
Although the two awards are different.
But it is also very likely that it will be awarded to the same person.
After all, the FIFA Ballon d'Or is unlikely to be awarded to players who play in leagues on other continents.
Attention does not lie in a registration.
So this brings up a problem.
If Ye Luo wants to receive the award.
But the next day is the European Super Cup.
Immediately after receiving the award, Yelo will board a plane across the entire European continent.
Fly from the far west to the far east.
There is no way to participate in the team's joint training, and it is also a severe test for her physical fitness.
Of course Arsenal protested.
But UEFA said so.
Or let someone accept the award instead of Ye Luo.
Or let him come in person.
Anyway, changing the venue is out of the question.
Of course, they also said that this is only a temporary phenomenon. Next year, the Super Bowl and the awards ceremony will be held in the same city, so that the players will not have to travel back and forth-if he is selected for the final three candidates...
"Haha, this is Platini giving me eye drops."
Yello said as he and Gazidis flew to Monaco.
"They just want to disgust me, because they don't want to award me this award at all, but if they don't award it to me, the so-called UEFA Ballon d'Or award will lose its authority."
Ye Luo said.
"Platini must feel that if I go back and forth like this twice, my physical fitness will definitely be damaged and my condition will be poor. Serbia is also very strong. Maybe we can really lose the Super Cup. In this case, the so-called seven-time champion will be broken." If it works, he can make us the laughing stock of others!"
Ye Luo analyzed it to Gazidis.
"So I have to come to receive the award. After receiving the award, I have to go back immediately to win against Serbia and let them know. Such small actions are not enough to affect me at all!"
"It's just a futile effort!"
.
, ..
Of course Ye Luo's analysis was correct.
Because Platini just wanted to disgust Ye Luo.
Last season's Champions League final made Platini very unhappy.
At the award ceremony, Yello did not give Platini any face.
This of course made Platini resentful.
If this kid comes to Monaco to accept an award again, he won't make me look bad in public, right?
That's why Platini thought of this method.
And it looks quite dignified.
The Super Cup has been moved away from Monaco.
What if the award ceremony was also moved away all of a sudden?
Isn't this too cruel to Monaco, a city that has served UEFA for more than ten years?
This is to express gratitude to the city of Monaco.
No one can find fault with it.
Platini feels that no matter how good Yello is, I am afraid he will not give up the Super Cup to receive the award.
So he definitely wins.
Won hemp.
who ever thought.
Ye Luo didn't feel embarrassed at all, but came openly and honestly.
at the airport.
Ye Luo was surrounded by reporters.
"If you come here to accept the award now, are you giving up on the Super Bowl the next day?"
"Isn't Arsenal's goal to win seven crowns? Do you look down on Serbia at all?"
Facing the questions of the reporters.
Ye Luo smiled back.
"I will go to the Super Cup, there is no problem. And Platini warmly invited me, how could I not participate? This is a grand event of European football, and I will definitely not miss it!"
Of course Yelo knew that Platini did not want him to come.
That's why he said that on purpose.
Deliberately pissed off Platini.
Platini was indeed feeling aggrieved.
But on the surface.
The cunning UEFA president showed no sign of it.
At the award ceremony, he also praised Yello's performance last season with a smile as historic.
Of course Ye Luo would not show any flaws on the surface.
When he went on stage with Messi and Ronaldo.
He also shook hands with Platini with a smile.
For Ye Luo.
Whatever tricks Platini plays are in vain.
He must be the final winner.
So he has been looking at Platini from the perspective of victory.
This is a look down.
The two people stand in different positions.
Therefore, Yelo does not have the same experience as Platini.
Besides, what Platini most wants to see is probably the scene where Ye Luo is so angry that he becomes furious.
I won't let him succeed.
Messi, Ronaldo, Yello.
The three eventually made it to the top three candidates.
The Golden Globe Award came from three of them. The UEFA Ballon d’Or is different from the FIFA Ballon d’Or in that live voting is used to determine the winner.
As for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, the winner has been selected through voting before the award ceremony, so FIFA's results are often easily leaked. When the award ceremony came, only the FIFA president was still pretending. This result is very suspenseful. In fact, the whole world knows the result.
In comparison, UEFA is still a bit suspenseful.
After all, they were selected by journalists voting on the spot.
But this suspense is also relative. If someone has such an obvious advantage among the three that even ordinary fans are optimistic about him, then there will be no suspense in the result. This person must win the award.
For example, this time the UEFA awards ceremony.
Although UEFA seemed to show suspense throughout the process, they racked their brains and it was in vain.
Unless they dare to risk the world's disgrace and play tricks on the final statistical results.
But they didn't dare. The result of this would be to discredit the entire UEFA.
Let UEFA lose its authority.
Platini doesn't have to do something like this to damage his own brand just because of his personal grudge with Yello.
Platini felt that if Yelo did not come, he would avoid the risk of being embarrassed by Yelo on the spot.
It's better if you come!
You are tired from traveling.
The next day I'll see how you're in shape for the Super Bowl.
If Yello's team loses the Super Bowl.
That would be really funny.
What seven crowns?
Seven-time champion.
When Platini was secretly happy.
Reporters on the scene were voting.
The host of the national TV sports channel, which is broadcasting the game live, joked.
"There is nothing to vote for, it must be Ye Luo. Is there a better player than Ye Luo in the whole world last season?"
"I set new records for goals in the league and the Champions League, and won the Triple Crown. If I can't win the Ballon d'Or, then I don't know how I can perform like crazy."
Messi and Ronaldo both looked unhappy.
They know it too.
I came here just to be a green leaf.
In fact, they don't really want to come.
But UEFA's invitation still carries some weight after all.
If it were FIFA, they wouldn't need to give face.
But UEFA still has to give face.
So two great players stood on either side of Yello.
It is like a green leaf that sets off the red flower of Yeluo.
For Messi and Ronaldo.
They just hope the results come out soon.
So as not to embarrass them for too long.
The results came out very quickly.
In order to reflect the fairness, openness and impartiality of the UEFA Ballon d'Or Award.
It is different from the FIFA Ballon d'Or, which has been rumored to be a secret operation.
UEFA's voting method seems fair.
The results of the voting are displayed directly on the big screen behind the players.
Everyone can see this year's results intuitively.
Everyone can see the results directly.
Now on the big screen.
Ye Luo's name appeared.
Gazidis stood up from his seat and clapped vigorously.
Then there was thunderous applause.
There were people in the hall who whistled excitedly.
Yello's performance last season was impeccable.
His performance on the court was enough to impress everyone.
Even Messi and Ronaldo were applauding.
They are embarrassed to be doing green leaves.
But they are not convinced that Ye Luo won the award.
Ye Luo's performance was too strong.
They all know that such a performance is a sure thing to win the UEFA Ballon d'Or and even the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
If Ye Luo had not won these two awards.
It's not Ye Luo's embarrassment.
It's the embarrassment of these two awards and the recipients.
Even humiliation.
It's better not to take it.
the host shouted.
"Congratulations to Yello, he won the 2013-2014 UEFA Ballon d'Or!!!"
Ye Luo raised his arms and enjoyed the applause and cheers happily. ,
Messi and Ronaldo on both sides were wise enough to move aside and did not join in the fun.
Platini walked up with a stiff smile on his face.
He was holding the UEFA Ballon d'Or trophy in his hand.
"Congratulations, Ye, you deserve this!"
After giving the trophy to Ye Luo. ,
Platini left.
Not even pleasantries were exchanged.
The relationship between the two is evident.
But Ye Luo didn't care either.
He held the trophy, grabbed the microphone handed over by the host next to him, cleared his throat and said.
"Thank you to UEFA for giving me a day to go to the Super Cup, otherwise I would have rushed out of the door with the trophy in my hand."
The people in the audience were stunned at first.
Then there was a collective roar of laughter.
They all thought Ye Luo was being humorous.
But Platini knew it.
This is a mockery of oneself.
His expression instantly turned ugly.
Ye Luo didn't stay on stage for long.
He put his gun and stick in his hand and satirized UEFA before returning to the stage.
Draw lots.
Ye Luo was not interested.
Gazidis is looking forward to it.
After all, this is related to Arsenal's Champions League grouping situation.
In the end, Arsenal were drawn in Group C.
They were placed in a group with PSV, Monaco and Galatasaray.
It is basically impossible for these three teams to pose any threat to Arsenal.
So there is almost no suspense about being first in the group.
Because there is no suspense.
So this result did not cause any waves.
Gazidis was very happy.
I think Arsenal are lucky.
It seems that the team really has a chance to win seven championships this season.
The next day, the media covered the award ceremony and lottery ceremony last night with extensive coverage.
Yello's first UEFA Ballon d'Or win was widely reported.
At this time, Yelo had already taken a plane to Prague.
Yello arrived at the team's hotel in Prague six hours before the game.
After a brief rest, we headed to the Eden Gardens Stadium with the team.
Wenger was originally quite worried about Ye Luo's physical fitness.
As a result, Ye Luo seemed very excited during the warm-up, which made Wenger completely relieved.
Emery is also observing Yelo.
Emery is not afraid of Arsenal.
Because his team is also very strong.
The only thing they are afraid of is Ye Luo.
Because compared to the championships won by Arsenal.
Ye Luo's performance was terrible.
He scored one hundred and seven goals in a single season.
The state of the new season is also quite good.
for Serbia.
Yello going to attend the UEFA awards ceremony is definitely good news.
He did not participate in Arsenal's training and had to travel thousands of kilometers back and forth.
Physical fitness will definitely be affected.
This is Serbia’s biggest reliance.
Arsenal's biggest threat is Yello.
As long as Ye Luo is in good condition.
Arsenal's results are good.
If something goes wrong with Ye Luo, it would be hard to tell.
Everyone in Serbia feels that Yelo's condition is definitely not good.
So this game is definitely going to be a fight.
The European Super Cup is useless for many teams.
But for the city of Prague.
After all, this is also a game between the Champions League champions and the Europa League champions, which is still very attractive to local fans.
Before the game, Prague was full of game atmosphere.
Flags and slogans can be seen everywhere.
European Super Cup match.
Amid people's expectations, it finally started. (End of chapter)
