After the game against Sunderland, Arsenal's league points reached 12 points, still ranked first in the standings, 2 points more than Liverpool, the third place was Tottenham Hotspur, with 9 points, and the fourth and fifth place were Manchester City and Manchester United, with 7 points.

What makes all Premier League teams uneasy is that this year's Arsenal is not only in a fierce momentum, but also terrifying that it still has zero conceded goals so far!

Such powerful defensive ability is definitely not what they are willing to see!

So no matter which team it is, they have begun to concentrate on studying the current Arsenal and studying the magical China that has changed Arsenal. Especially China, how can it curb him and limit his performance? This is the focus of research on the top majors in the Premier League.

Just as they were studying and planning the tactics of curbing China, Wenger represented Arsenal to UEFA to hold the draw ceremony for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League final circle.

What surprised Zhang Xu was that Wenger did not bring Wilshere, who participated in the European Champions League last season, but brought him over.

The lottery ceremony was held in the Political Palace of the Royal Plaza of Monaco, the capital of Monaco.

When Zhang Xu and Wenger arrived in Monaco, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the lottery ceremony was held at 5:45 o'clock in the afternoon.

Since time was not very good, Zhang Xu and Wenger rushed directly to the Political Consultative Hall of the Royal Plaza of Monaco.

When they arrived at the Gongzheng Hall, the guests had already begun to enter the venue one after another. Zhang Xu and Wenger had no time to prepare more and had no time to solve the dinner. They simply sorted out their clothes and entered the Gongzheng Hall in order.

At the door, Zhang Xu met many acquaintances along the way.

"Hi, zhang, wow, I'm so happy to see you here! You are, oh, Professor Wenger! Are you here on behalf of Arsenal?" Just as Zhang Xu was queuing up to enter, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

Zhang Xu looked back and found it was Messi!

"Hi, Messi, hello!" Zhang Xu waved to the other party. After the other party approached, he hugged the other party and hammered it twice.

"Damn it, zhang, be gentle! Who can stand your strength? Do you want to get me to the hospital?" Messi screamed strangely and asked, "I didn't expect you to come to the European Champions League field. I really don't want to meet you, a monster. I hope that our Barcelona will be lucky today!"

"Haha, what's wrong? We Arsenal are even more afraid of meeting you Barcelona. Your strength has been too strong in the past two years! We want to go further!" Zhang Xu said frankly.

"Yeah, I like to hear this very much! But why does it feel a bit fake? Are you scared? Hell!" As he said that, Messi seemed to remember something again: "Oh, zhang, I heard that you have been doing well in Arsenal recently, and we heard the news of killing all sides in Spain!"

"Kill the four sides?" Zhang Xu was stunned: "It's really a rumor. We just won 9 consecutive games!"

"Oh, my God, 9 consecutive victories! Are you not satisfied? Just? How many do you want? One hundred games? Do you want to break the world record?" Messi gently stroked his forehead, accompanied by pain.

"It seems that 100 games are not a lot!" Zhang Xu continued casually.

"Okay, I really have no common language with you and such a monster!" Messi rolled his eyes and was completely speechless.

At this time, the sharp-eyed Zhang Xu saw another acquaintance: Ronaldo!

This time he took the initiative to say hello: "Hi, Cristiano, here!"

"Haha! zhang! I was wondering if I could meet you here just now! I didn't expect to meet you so soon! Hey, Messi! Hello!" After Ronaldo walked in, he saw Messi. He smiled and said hello.

"Hi, Cristiano! Hello!" Messi also replied, then greeted Zhang Xu, and went to find his head coach.

Ronaldo looked at Messi's figure who was leaving and said, "Zhang, I heard from Ozil that he won the first game he participated in!"

"This kid has revealed secrets all day long!" Zhang Xu shouted strangely: "The opponent is the black cat Sunderland, and it is not worthy of pride to defeat the opponent! If you can meet your Real Madrid, it will definitely be very interesting."

"Damn it! That would be very boring! I don't want to meet you, a pervert, so early! If you want to meet, I think it's better to meet in the finals!" For Zhang Xu, Ronaldo is indeed a headache. Such a player who has repeatedly created miracles, even if Real Madrid is powerful, it is not easy to successfully defeat his opponent, let alone be likely to be attacked by his opponent.

"Hehe, Ronaldo, if I fight all the way to the end and you are killed halfway through, what should I say?" Zhang Xu smiled strangely.

"Uh, zhang, your assumption is not true! Our Real Madrid is invincible! Just wait and see!" C Ronaldo was full of confidence.

Zhang Xu was happy and suddenly said, "If you meet Barcelona, ​​you will be able to kill them?"

"Uh, of course!" C Ronaldo said with a firm support. For Barcelona now, C Ronaldo really dares not say that he can definitely defeat the opponent. But in front of Zhang Xu, hold on first, so as not to make Zhang Xu laugh.

Don’t you know that his hard-working expression had already fallen into Zhang Xu’s eyes, and immediately caused a series of laughter from Zhang Xu.

"Okay, okay, damn guy, if you meet Barcelona, ​​it depends on your own luck!" Ronaldo finally admitted and said embarrassedly.

"Haha, okay, Cristiano, let's see how luck our two teams are this season!" Zhang Xu hugged each other and walked towards the entrance of the Political Affairs Hall.

Zhang Xu also saw many acquaintances along the way. Of course, he knew most of them, but others knew him... In fact, there were many, but the two sides had not met formally, so they just smiled and nodded.

At the entrance, a red carpet was laid, just like attending a film festival.

Zhang Xu followed Wenger immediately, waved to the reporter at the entrance, and entered the Political Affairs Hall under the leadership of the etiquette guide.

When Zhang Xu and Wenger sat down in their seats, the entire hall was already in full swing.

This is a very science fiction hall. There are two sci-fi-style floors on the front. The circular floor below is obviously the site of the award lottery draw. There are an arc-line LCD screen on the top. At this time, exciting clips of the European Champions League last season are being played.

At about six o'clock in the evening, a music started and two hosts walked up from behind.

One is Pinto, the host of CNN, and the other beautiful host is Melanie. After the two came up, they directly announced that the lottery ceremony had officially begun.

Then he played the wonderful scenes of the last season and some touching scenes in the finals. Then, a short VR was played, which showed everyone the experience and past of the last season's European Champions League in the form of a visitor entering the 2012-2013 European Champions League Memorial Hall.

Afterwards, the host invited Celtic legend Galliwell to the stage, and the other party told the trophy of the European Champions League to be won in front.

Galliwell will also be the draw guest today. Next, two UEFA officials who have manipulated the fate of the European Champions League giants for many years came up. Finally, another image ambassador guest was invited, that is, the Portuguese - Figo.

Next, the Secretary-General of the European Company began to introduce the European Champions League events in a long and detailed manner.

Subsequently, the teams that ranked first in the European Champions League season were announced, namely: Manchester United, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Byron and Munich, Chelsea, Porto, Benfica and Barcelona!

Immediately afterwards, the lottery ceremony officially began.

What surprised Zhang Xu and Wenger was that the first team to be drawn was Arsenal! Then Figo pulled out Group F.

Then, the nervous draw ceremony went back little by little, and soon, the teams who were divided into a group with Arsenal were drawn out, namely: Dortmund, Naples and Marseille!

This should be a good arrangement for Arsenal. Except for Dortmund's slightly stronger strength, the other two teams are not very strong.

Real Madrid is in Group B, with Juventus, Barcelona is in Group H, AC Milan, Ajax and Celtics.

Overall, there is no real death group in this group. If Arsenal did not join Zhang Xu, the Arsenal group would really have the meaning of a death group, because Arsenal without Zhang Xu is the same team as Marseille and Dortmund.

But now, with Zhang Xu, Arsenal's strength has undergone earth-shaking changes. Qualifying in the group is not difficult. The difficulty is that in the subsequent games, those teams will encounter in the knockout round.

At the following award ceremony, the best player in Europe selected was not Messi or Ronaldo, but Ribery of Byron and Munich.

And the best team of the 2012-2013 season is as follows:

Formation is 4-3-3:

Goalkeeper: Caballero (Malaga/Argentina)

Defender: Ramos (Real Madrid/Spain) Santana (Borthur/Germany) Subotic (Borthur/Serbia) Dante (Bayern Munich/Brazil)

Midfielder: Arturo Vidal (Juventus/Chile) Thomas Muller (Bayern Munich/Germany) Robben (Bayern Munich/Netherlands)

Forward: Ronaldo (Real Madrid/Portugal) Messi (Barcelona/Argentina) Lewandowski (Bortmond/Poland)

After all the ceremonies were held, the guests left separately, and Messi and Ronaldo were somewhat disappointed on their faces. Zhang Xu walked up to them, hugged them one by one, expressed his condolences, and said with a teasing voice:

"Hey man, next time I will definitely take that damn best player in Europe back and give you revenge!"

However, his words were laughed and scolded by the other party!
Chapter completed!
