(Look at the Premier League double red meeting, this chapter is late, sorry)
The match between Real Madrid and Manchester United made the next draw look a bit out of date.Of course, it's not that the other three groups have no giants duel, but that Real Madrid and Manchester United are too big. Compared with the Premier League civil war between Arsenal and Liverpool, it is a bit insignificant.
In this round of draws, Platini arranged very well, and a round of focus battles was arranged for both the upper and lower halves.
Anyway, the media fans are talking about it, of course, the Premier League fans must be unhappy, except for Chelsea.
In the first half, Real Madrid vs Manchester United, Schalke 04 vs Barcelona; in the second half, Arsenal vs Liverpool, Chelsea vs Fenerbahce!
The most attention in the upper half is naturally the duel between the La Liga giants and the Premier League hegemony, and the winner between the two will play against Barcelona.What, you said that Schalke 04 might beat Barcelona in an upset. Don't be kidding, although Barcelona has fallen, it is not enough for Schalke 04 to beat.Except for Bayern, the other teams in the Bundesliga are just the role of the prince's companion in the Champions League.
In short, every round of the upper half has a highlight. If Real Madrid is a little stronger and kills Manchester United, they will be able to stage the second part of the World War in the Champions League semi-finals.
In the lower half, the duel between Arsenal and Liverpool, the Premier League double red, has attracted the most attention. However, the Gunners have always been weak in the Champions League. In addition, Henry has left. Liverpool.After all, it was last year's Champions League runner-up, and Torres' performance this season is indeed very good, so that the Red Army is favored in various ways in terms of winning odds.
Among all the draws, Chelsea fans are probably the only team besides Barcelona who can laugh.Probably Mourinho has offended too many people in the past few years. In the past, the Blues have always killed Barcelona or Liverpool. However, this year Abramovich fired the Magic Birds, and Chelsea was shrouded in the halo of being a godfather in the Champions League draw.
In the group stage, they were assigned to Group B, the weakest opponent. After entering the knockout round, they met Olympiacos in the top sixteen, and Fenerbahce in the top eight. All of them were the weakest fish belly in comparison. .
Grant, who replaced Mourinho as the head coach, smiled happily when he was interviewed by the media at the end of the draw.It is said that every time Chelsea copy the head coach halfway, they will explode into a strong combat effectiveness in the Champions League.
If Gago remembers correctly, this year's Chelsea reached the final with ease, and after Abramovich copied Villas-Boas, Di Matteo, the smiling Buddha, took office and was eliminated under unfavorable circumstances. The invincible "cosmic team" finally defeated the Bundesliga Banba at the Allianz Arena and won the championship.
But now Gago put all his thoughts on the upcoming quarter-finals, Manchester United, but this year's Champions League champion in history.As long as he can crack this hardest bone, then in this Champions Cup, there will be absolutely no team that can stop him from reaching the top.
Schuster did not accept any media interviews after the draw, and returned to Madrid in a low-key way.Instead, Ferguson announced in a high-profile manner that he would end the suspense of the game in the first round.He said that he will compete with Real Madrid, the strongest attacking team in La Liga, at the Bernabeu to see who is the strongest attacking team in Europe.And when the media asked about the strength of Gago and Ronaldo, Ferguson certainly supported his player, but at the last minute he still said something that excited the media.
"It is undeniable that Gago and Cristiano are two of the best players on the planet. If the two of them can join forces, I have the confidence to build an invincible team."
The media believed that this was Ferguson showing his favor to Gago. If Manchester United, already a dominant player in the Premier League, gets Gago as a midfielder, the Red Devils will probably rule the Premier League for another ten years.
But for Ferguson's words, Gago did not express anything, but his sister, who is an agent, rejected this request when interviewed by the media.
"Fair is doing very well in Real Madrid. As long as Real Madrid doesn't sell him, he can't leave. As he said, he hopes to live in Real Madrid for the rest of his life!"
When Xia Weier said this, the expression on her face was upright, as if she was not an agent, but the press officer of Real Madrid.This speech made Gago soar in the hearts of Real Madrid fans, almost keeping pace with Raul.Today's Real Madrid fans have already regarded this Argentine prince as the future of the team and a candidate for the next captain.
But the real situation is that after the interview, Xia Weier received a call from the top management of Manchester United, hoping that she could have a good talk.Ferguson did give the club an order, hoping to bring Gago to Old Trafford and form an invincible partner with Ronaldo.
And Xia Weier didn't refuse, but she was in the limelight recently and it was inconvenient for her to come out, so when she attracted the attention of the media, Linaya went to London to meet the transfer manager of Manchester United in a low-key manner.Manchester's goal is too obvious, but London, a metropolis full of dragons and snakes, is safer.
Is the big hermit hidden in the city?
Of course, all of this was done without Gago's knowledge. With Xia Weier's ability, he was able to put all his energy on playing football.
However, probably the match against Manchester United surprised the players of Real Madrid. In the next league, Real Madrid lost a rare game.Riazor's curse worked again. In the away game against Deportivo, the always reliable Pepe actually scored an own goal, sending the ball into his own goal during a clearance.
But this time Real Madrid was never able to reverse again, probably because the previous few reversals were too hurtful. Finally, when Real Madrid repaid the debt, after blasting against Deportivo's goal for 10 minutes, Real Madrid had to accept A loss.
Fortunately, this round of Barcelona also failed to win. After two consecutive losses, Rijkaard only got a draw.Messi scored twice against newly promoted Almeria, but was equalized by two goals in the last minute, making his goal worthless.
However, when No.20 faced the newly promoted Valladolid in the ninth round, Barcelona finally won and ended their three-round winless in the league.But what is regrettable is that due to his amazing performance in the last round, Messi encountered the opponent's strict defense, and was knocked off the field by a malicious foul shovel by the opponent in the opening No. 20 minutes.However, this foul also caused the opponent to be sent off with a red card, which became a turning point in this game.Eto'o, Bojan, Iniesta, and Sesma scored four goals in a row, helping the team beat the opponent 4:1 at home and win.
And Real Madrid's bad luck seems to be continuing. When they played against Valencia at home, they still failed to win, and their record of winning at home was broken. , scored a world wave to help the team equalize the score, I am afraid that Real Madrid will usher in the first defeat at home this season.
After the civil strife between the team coach and the board of directors in the first half of the season, Valencia slowly recovered after the winter break.But the hole buried at the beginning of the season is too big, and it can't be filled now.Anyway, don't even think about the Champions League next season. At most, the UEFA Cup can give the Bats some hope.But it was this hope, coupled with Real Madrid's hatred of the Bat Legion's six-goal massacre at Mestalla away, that almost made them overturn Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
The first half of this game belonged to Raul, the Lord of the Rings received two goals in succession from Gago and Guti under the cheers of the fans at the Bernabeu, helping the team enter the midfield with a two-goal advantage rest.But in the second half, the current Spanish national team's top scorer Villa also scored twice to help the team equalize the score.
In the No. 90 minute, the teenager Silva quickly broke through and scored a goal from the wing to help Arismendy score an overtake goal, which almost made Real Madrid swallow the bitter fruit of defeat at home.
At the critical moment, Gago stood up. In the 3rd minute of stoppage time, the Argentine prince intercepted the ball from Silva's feet, and then accelerated to throw away three people. There was a world wave.Although this game broke Real Madrid's record of home victory this season, it also sounded the alarm for Schuster. limit.
At this juncture, Schuster knew that it was time for a rotation. In the first half of the season, the frantic grabbing of points in the league was for this moment to be able to stay strong.
But looking at the opponent in the next round, the German frowned. Sevilla, facing this opponent, he really couldn't lose.In the first half of the season, it was a shame for the Germans to be defeated 2-0 by the opponent who strangled Real Madrid to the last minute at the Pizjuan Stadium last season.If they are double-killed by Sevilla this season, even if they win the championship in the end, they will be ridiculed by them.
In addition, this is a home game, and the last draw lost the home record. If this game is lost again, and the home undefeated gold is directly broken, the next home game against Manchester United will be dire. not enough.
Don't think that unbeaten at home is just a record, it is a glory that can stimulate the potential of players at critical moments.If the team loses its home unbeaten record before facing Manchester United, it will be regarded as unknown. Before the game has started, morale may have been low.
Gritting his teeth, Schuster did not rotate in the face of Sevilla, and discharged the full main lineup.
But at this time, good news came. Van Nistelrooy, who had been away from the stadium for nearly two months, finally passed the physical examination and returned from injury. This is such an important moment before facing Manchester United.
As soon as the news came out, the entire team was boiling, and then spread to the whole world.
The king of the wicket will face his former owner in the Champions League knockout round!
