Back in the UK, Manchester United threw themselves into preparations for the first round of the Premier League.

On the evening of August 13, Beijing time, Saturday, the 2016-2017 Premier League season officially started. In the opening game, the Blue Fox Leicester City was a guest at the newly promoted Hull City. As a result, the Blue Fox, who performed well last season, was unexpectedly upset and lost 1:2.

On the first match day, apart from Leicester City, only Tottenham can be regarded as a traditional Premier League team. As a result, they drew 1-1 with the Toffees at Goodison Park.

The game between Manchester City and Sunderland, which took the lead on August 14, attracted great attention because it was Guardiola's first appearance in the Premier League.

As a result, at the Etihad Stadium, Blue Moon's performance was not satisfactory. Relying on Aguero's blitz in the opening 4 minutes and Sunderland player McNair's own goal, the lore was the Black Cat, and luckily won a victory.

The first round of Manchester United's match will be held at 8:30 pm on August 14th, Beijing time, and at 1:30 noon local time in the UK. At the Dean Court Stadium, the Red Devils defeated the Clarets 3:1 with the goals of Mata, Rooney and Ibrahimovic.

At the end of the first round, Chelsea at Stamford Bridge defeated the Hammers 2:1 to help West Ham United.

At the end of the first round, Manchester United topped the standings with a goal difference advantage.

A week later, in the first game of the second round of the Premier League, Manchester United faced Saints Southampton at the Theater of Dreams. Ibrahimovic once again staged a great performance, scoring twice to help Manchester United beat the Saints 4-0.

………………

At 00:00 on August 26, Beijing time (18:00 on August 25, Central European time), the 2016-2017 season UEFA Champions League group stage draw and the 2015-2016 season European best player award ceremony will be held in Grimaldi, Monaco held at the conference center. Cristiano Ronaldo, who led the Portuguese team to win the European Cup this summer, beat Rooney and Griezmann to win the best player in Europe last season.

It is worth mentioning that this is the second time Ronaldo has won this award in his career. The last time was in 2014. At that time, Ronaldo won the UEFA gold medal for the first time with two championship trophies in the King's Cup and the Champions League. ball award. This time he won the UEFA Ballon d'Or again. Ronaldo also tied Messi and became the player with the most awards since the award was founded.

In fact, since the establishment of UEFA Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo has been shortlisted for the top three awards for 6 consecutive years.

He is also the only player in history who has entered the top three candidates in every selection.

This time, the other two opponents are Manchester United's Wayne Rooney and Atletico Madrid's Griezmann.

For Rooney's final defeat by Ronaldo, the British media seemed very unconvinced. Because in their view, in the past season, Rooney can be said to have defeated Ronaldo in terms of team honors. The Portuguese's club honors were blank and he only won one European Cup, but Rooney led Manchester United to wins including the Champions League and the Premier League. Unprecedented big four crowns including , FA Cup and League Cup!

Even in terms of personal data, Rooney does not fall behind. In terms of the number of league goals, Rooney is at a disadvantage because the number of games played is significantly lower than that of Ronaldo. However, in the direct competition of the Champions League, Rooney beat Ronaldo with 17 goals and won the Champions League Golden Boot.

However, although the British refused to admit defeat verbally, they are also very clear that the performance of the England national team has dragged down Rooney, making the little fat man finally missed the UEFA best player last season.

As long as England can go a little further in the knockout rounds, such as entering the quarter-finals, I am afraid that the UEFA Player of the Season will fall on Rooney without any suspense.

However, such a fact made the arrogant British a little hard to say, so they could only be stubborn and express their dissatisfaction with this result.

For losing to Ronaldo again, Rooney is also very aggrieved, because in the head-to-head match between the two sides, that is, in the Champions League final, he completely defeated Ronaldo, but because of Hodgson's stubborn old guy, England Early exit in the European Cup also led to his narrow defeat by Ronaldo today.

………………

This ceremony has attracted more attention from all over the world, or the next UEFA Champions League group draw.

After deciding the last 10 participating teams in the middle of this week, the top 32 will be divided into four pots according to the rules and will fall into each group in the draw.

According to UEFA's new group stage draw rules introduced last year, the league champions of the top seven countries in European points will automatically be listed as the seeded teams in the group stage and will be drawn in groups. The defending Champions League champions will also be seeded, while the Europa League winners will participate in the Champions League play-offs. In the event of a team winning the Champions League and domestic league double, the league champions of the eighth-ranked country in UEFA points will be seeded.

In the UEFA Champions League final last season, Manchester United defeated Real Madrid to win the championship. Before that, they had already won the Premier League championship. Therefore, this season's UEFA Champions League group stage seeded team is the top eight league champions in UEFA points. That is, Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica, CSKA Moscow and Dynamo Kiev became the seeded teams. The remaining 24 teams will be assigned to the second to fourth tiers according to their respective UEFA standings.

In the draw, clubs from the same league will be automatically avoided in the group stage. For well-known reasons, clubs from Russia and Ukraine will not be grouped into the same group.

Under such rules, giant teams including Real Madrid and Arsenal are forced to fall into the second tier. This also greatly increases the possibility of a group of death.

In fact, judging from the lineup of the second-tier teams, they don't lose to the first-tier seeded teams at all. The second-tier team lineup composed of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, Sevilla, Porto, Naples, Leverkusen and other teams can be called luxurious.

The eight teams in the third pot are Basel, Tottenham Hotspur, Lyon, PSV Eindhoven, Sporting Lisbon, Club Brugge, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Celtic.

Eight teams in the fourth pot, including Monaco, Besiktas, Warsaw Legion, Dinamo Zagreb, Ludogorets, Copenhagen, Rostov and Premier League runner-up Leicester City.

Leicester City has not participated in European competitions for many years, so although they rank second in the Premier League, their UEFA points are very low and they are included in the fourth tier.

The Manchester City team, which had already approached the top ten in UEFA points, was unable to participate in this season's Champions League because it finally ranked fifth in the Premier League. Guardiola was forced to lead his team to play in the Europa League.

………………

UEFA Marchetti served as host of the draw.

Because this season's Champions League final will be held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, Liverpool's top scorer in history and Welsh football star Ian Rush is the ambassador of the 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League. Ian Rush will have big ears The Cup is returned to UEFA.

Dutch football star Seedorf served as the guest of draw for the seeded team.
