Chapter 344: European Cup draw

At 5pm GMT on December 2nd, and 7pm local time in Ukraine, the 2012 European Cup group stage draw ceremony was officially held, and Bell also appeared at the lottery.

  Bell is the only active player who appeared in the lottery and the only team captain who came to the lottery instead of the head coach.

Because five days ago, the Welsh men’s football coach Gary Speed ​​died unexpectedly, and he had not had time to admit a new coach. As the team captain, Bell had to accept the temporary assignment of the Welsh FA and the Welsh FA. Officials flew to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, to participate in the draw ceremony.

The lottery was hosted by the Ukrainian beauty host Olga Flemut and the Polish host Piot Sobczki, and the UEFA Secretary General Jenny Infantino.

  Before the draw began, the Ukrainian National Folk Dance Troupe presented a dance full of Ukrainian national characteristics. Subsequently, Ukrainian President Yanukovych delivered a welcome speech at the scene. After the welcome speech by President Yanukovych, the promotional videos of the eight host cities of the finals of the European Championship were broadcast live.

After the    video, the famous Ukrainian singer Yamara presented a beautiful song. Subsequently, representatives of 13 former European Championship champions including Van Basten entered the venue. Bonedernik, Zidane and Capdevila also accepted interviews with the host.

   Next, the official ball of the European Championship finals in 2012 was officially launched, and Ukrainian pole vault legend Bubka brought "TANGO12" to the stage. UEFA President Pratini took the Delaunay Cup on stage after the highlights of the last European Championship.

  After the introduction of 16 participating teams in this European Championship, the draw ceremony officially began. The draw process was chaired by UEFA Secretary General Infantino, with Van Basten, Zidane, Schmeichel and Hrubesch as the draw guests. Before the draw began, Infantino sent the blessing to the recently deceased Welsh coach Gary Speed, and then the live animation explained the lottery process and rules in detail.

   First draw is the first-grade team, Poland and Ukraine have determined to be in the position of A1 and D1, then the Netherlands entered the B1 position, and Spain entered the C1 position.

   was followed by the fourth draw of the team, Wales was the first to be drawn and entered A4, Denmark entered B2, Ireland entered C3, and France entered D3.

  After the fourth draw, the third draw starts. The first to be drawn was Greece, they entered the A2 position and will open the game with Poland. Subsequently, Portugal entered the B4 position, Croatia won the C4 position, Sweden was drawn to the D2 position.

   In the last second grade, the teams returned to their respective positions, and Russia entered the A3 position, drawing the super sign. Germany entered the B3 position, forming the death group. Italy entered the C2 position and England was drawn into the D4 position.

   In this way, the grouping of Wales is very clear, they are drawn together with the host Poland and Greece and Russia. Bell is satisfied with this group, and the other three teams with the Welsh group are also very satisfied with this group, because the strength of these four teams is not strong, everyone thinks they have drawn a good opponent, especially The soft persimmon of Wales was drawn, and the hope of qualifying increased greatly.

   The lottery ceremony ended and Bell walked out of the hall.

   There is a lounge outside the hall of the venue. When Bell walked over, he saw a few rows of tall sofas with coffee tables in the middle. The environment was relatively warm, and it felt like a tea bar.

   After he sat down, a waiter came and asked him what he needed. Bell asked for a while to realize that this side is dedicated to providing various ancillary services for the participants, so he asked: "So, what are your pastime activities here?"

"Some of the recent journals and magazines are relatively complete, and drinks include tea and coffee, as well as fresh milk." The waiter didn't know Bell, but he was so young, and he just came out of it, thinking of this in his heart. Who is probably the son of the boss, but did not expect him to be the famous Gareth Bell.

   "Then let's have a cup of green tea, and then show me some football magazines." Bell said after thinking for a while.

   "Okay." The waiter promised to turn around and leave.

  Without a few minutes, the waiter brought Bell freshly brewed green tea, as well as five or six new football magazines. The waiter was very attentive, and the magazines were all in English.

   "Thank you." Bell is more satisfied with the service attitude here.

   "You're welcome, just tell us what you need at any time." The waiter smiled slightly, then turned and left.

  Bell nodded, then casually flipped through the magazine while drinking tea.

  As time approaches the end of the year, there are naturally many topics about the Golden Globe in these football magazines. Bell looked at it, and it can be said that most views believe that this year's Golden Globe is already in his pocket.

   Of course, there is no shortage of topics related to the European Cup, but it is no surprise that they look at the prospect of declining Wales. After all, they have just lost the team coach.

However, Bell discovered a local Ukrainian magazine, but believed that the impact of Speed’s death on Wales was not as great as everyone thought, because the core of this Welsh is not Speed, and the team’s top star Bell. As far as Speed ​​is concerned, he has only been a Welsh head coach for a year, and the impact on the team is not too deep. As long as the new coach hired by the Welsh Football Association and Bell can have a good relationship, there will be no major fluctuations in the Welsh's combat power.

   "Mr. Bell, may I have an exclusive interview with you?" Someone's voice interrupted Bell's thinking.

Bell looked up, but found that the beautiful Polish host Olga Flemut, who was just at the home lottery, was standing beside his side, looking at himself with a smile, and in his hands. magazine.

   turned his head in this direction to look over, and he saw the full mountain of Olga Flemut, of course, across the clothes.

   Probably Olga Flemut was still uncomfortable with being seen from this angle to see his own height, so he hugged his handbag to his chest and looked at Bell, as if waiting for his answer.

Bell also felt that it was a bit indecent to look at people like this, so he stood up, closed the magazine, and stood face-to-face with Olga Flemut. He asked curiously: "Flemut Miss, I heard that this is your first home football show. Is this a decision to switch careers?"

   Olga Flemut is the female anchor of Ukraine's famous breakfast show "Wake Up". At the age of 28, she was named one of the 25 most beautiful women in Ukraine. Flemut makes Ukrainians love not only smart eloquence, graceful figure, but also her outstanding talent.

  After the City University of London, Flemut became a reporter for the BBC fashion show and wrote good articles. After returning to Kiev, she joined the fifth channel of Ukraine and became one of the most popular female anchors in the country.

   Last spring and summer fashion week in New York, she also appeared as a model at the fashion show of Ukrainian designer OksanaKaravanska.

  Today's European Cup lottery ceremony was the first time Flemut hosted a football show. She cooperated with her partner, Piot Sobczki from Poland, and left a deep impression on the fans.

   Olga Flemut smiled and said, "Isn't it normal for us to change careers? Not to mention that I have such a good opportunity today?"

  Bell nodded and presided over a large-scale football event such as the draw of the European Cup. This opportunity to switch to football is indeed a godsend.

  ………………

   Olga Flemut said: "Thank you Mr. Bell, I just saw that you are reading the report on the next year’s European Cup, why not talk about your views on this issue?"

   "Did I promise to be interviewed?" Bell asked with a smile~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At least you have no objections. Olga Flemut laughed.

  Bell haha ​​smiled, and then said: "I don't really want to talk about this issue, but since you have asked it, I might as well say something casually."

   "Hear your ears and listen." Olga Flemut took out the recording pen, and then took out the notebook again, put it on the table very seriously, and sat down, staring at Bell intently.

Bell looked at Olga Flemut’s actions and said: “Miss Flemut, your gesture is a little too formal. It makes me a little uncomfortable, as if at a press conference. same."

Bell recruited casually and immediately called a waiter and told him to get Olga Flemut a cup of coffee before saying to her: "To talk about next year's European Cup, you have to talk about today I think this group is very interesting."

   "Can you say something more specific?" Olga Flemut asked, raising his head while typing the keyboard on the notebook.

Bell nodded and said: "This group draw, I think it can be well described in one word, that is the group of death. Take our Wales and your group A in Poland, many people think that group A It's easy, but the strength of any team is similar, everyone's strength is relatively close, this is another form of death group, just like the group G of the Champions League group stage this season. And any one of them participate The teams in the European Championships are very strong, also in Group A, but there are two former European champions. For me, I think this group will let us play a more exciting game."
