After Valencia defeated Real Madrid at home and away to win the Spanish Super Cup, their performance continued to be outstanding.
A week later, in the European Super Cup at the Louis II Stadium, they defeated the 2011-2012 Europa League champion Madrid with a score of 4:0.
Competitive and become the European King of Kings.
In addition, Atletico Madrid's overall strength is not as good as Valencia.
Losing to Valencia in the European Super Cup is a normal result, which means that it will only become news if Valencia loses to Atletico Madrid.
The end of the European Super Cup also means that the new season of the UEFA Champions League has begun again.
The thirty-two teams shortlisted for the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League will attack for the final championship.
But before that, the 32 teams still need to be divided into four levels under the coordination of UEFA, and then divided into eight groups.
Before the draw, UEFA also needs to award trophies to the best players in the UEFA Champions League in the 2011-2012 seasons.
Valencia, which won the UEFA Champions League in the 2011-2012 season, once again became the biggest winner.
The best goalkeeper was Wang Xiaolei, the best defender was Godin, and the best midfielder was controversial.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who played as a winger for Real Madrid for almost the entire season, became the winner.
Best midfielder.
The best forward is naturally undisputed.
Aiello, who led Valencia to become the European champion, was selected for this honor.
As for the best player in the Champions League, there is no suspense.
It is still Aiello's bag.
Interestingly, during the selection of the best forward and best player in the Champions League, many media yawned when they remembered it, because for them, these two honors had no suspense.
And the results also verified their conjecture After the awarding of the best awards last season, the group draws for the 2012-2013 UEFA Champions League were held.
I don’t know if it was because UEFA was deliberately trying to cause trouble for Valencia, where Valencia is.
Group D drew the new Premier League champion Manchester City and the Dutch Eredivisie champion Ajax.
Just when everyone thought that the team in the fourth tier of Group D would be a balanced draw, the 2011-2012 Bundesliga champion Dortmund, which returned to the Champions League, was drawn out as the fourth tier team and placed in Group D.
In other words, the four teams drawn from Group D of the Champions League in the 2012-2013 season, Valencia, Manchester City, Ajax and Dortmund, formed the group of death.
What are the odds that the champions of the four leagues are drawn in the same group?
Reporters who are extremely sensitive to news looked at UEFA President Platini sitting in the first row.
They believed that there was definitely an artificial factor in this draw, because Platini has been I am extremely dissatisfied with those teams that have a lot of money, especially Valencia and Manchester City who spent a lot of money in the first two or three seasons.
The super purchasing power of the two teams directly caused chaos in the European transfer market, and at the same time led to the inflated value of players, even making it impossible for small and medium-sized teams in urgent need of players to buy their favorite players at actual prices.
Therefore, Platini's main job after being elected as UEFA president is to speed up the implementation of the Financial Fair Play Act.
In the last year when each football team can not care about the financial deficit, UEFA is behind the scenes for the rich players such as Valencia and Manchester City.
It is also very possible for the team to stumble.
Therefore, it is pointless for the media to remember to use their full imagination.
It is a normal space for imagination.
"Oh my God, Dortmund was drawn into Group D.
It's unbelievable.
That means the four league championship teams form the first group of death for the European Championship this season.
It can even be said that this is the most terrifying group of death in the history of the Champions League. " Sky commentator Andy Gray's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
His partner Martin Taylor continued: "Except for the Eredivisie champion Ajax, whose strength is an obvious disadvantage, the other three teams are likely to compete for the right to qualify for the group, especially the defending champion Valencia, but then again, who Ajax can’t win the right to qualify from the group with Valencia, Manchester City and Dortmund.”
"Of course, Valencia has the best chance of qualifying for the group, because with Ai, they are bound to become the strongest team in this group.
They just suffered from Manchester City and Dortmund."
Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV 5, gave a different opinion and said with a smile: "Oh, the fourth-tier team drawn in Group D is Dortmund.
This group is so interesting.
Ai Luo and Feng Xiaoting, the first time for national team teammates.
The war as enemies is coming.
I believe that the fans sitting in front of the TV at this moment to watch the 20122013 Champions League group stage and raise money are very excited and eager."
At the same time, on China's domestic Internet, Weibo, which has gradually become a social network for netizens, is almost overwhelmed by fans.

The Weibo hot spot for Ai Luo and Feng Xiaoting's first confrontation became popular in just five minutes.
Tens of millions of Weibo updates.
Fortunately, Weibo's backend server is strong enough, and it never crashes when the traffic exceeds the standard.
Just when the media and fans were focusing on the draw itself, the on-site director suddenly showed close-ups of the head coaches of the four teams.
Except for Ancelotti’s expression, which was relatively natural, whether it was Mancini or Knicks Lopp, looking at the camera, it can be easily seen that they are extremely dissatisfied with UEFA's draw.
Especially Manchester City coach Mancini.
Last season, he miraculously led Manchester City to regain the English top league championship after 44 years, which made him feel a little proud, but this draw almost made him cry.
He would not be in the mood to be drawn into a group with Valencia, because Valencia is very strong and will definitely occupy one of the group spots, so Manchester City can compete for the second qualifying spot, but Bundesliga champion Dortmund will be drawn into Group D. , which makes Manchester City’s qualifying situation more delicate, especially since the third tier is Eredivisie champion Ajax.
Dortmund coach Klopp was also unhappy.
When they returned to the Champions League in the 2011-2012 season, they were drawn into a group with Arsenal and Marseille.
As a result, they finished at the bottom of the group after six games, one win, one draw and four losses, and were eliminated.
Unexpectedly, after defending the Bundesliga title, they would once again be drawn into a group with two teams in the Champions League group draw of the new season.
If foul language is allowed, I believe Klopp will definitely greet Platini in a loud voice.
Ajax's young coach Frank de Boer was more open-minded and just shrugged his shoulders and accepted the reality
