After the league game, all the attention of Porto was on the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Before the game, Gao Xiaodong said that he hoped to draw Manchester United in the quarter-finals, and his teammates also helped on Twitter, saying that the Premier League team is their favorite, and in the history of the Champions League, Porto has not been afraid of Manchester United, in the quarter-finals of the 2003/04 season, Porto also eliminated Manchester United under the leadership of Mourinho, and finally won the Champions League.

But the people of Porto definitely don't want to run into the defending champions, just like the other seven teams in the quarterfinals want to draw Porto, the other six teams want to draw Porto and Villarreal the most, and the team Porto wants to draw the most is also Villarreal.

Porto and Villarreal are the weakest in the quarterfinals, there is no doubt about it, no matter how well Porto and Villarreal play in the quarterfinals knockout round, compared with the top four of the Premier League, the Bundesliga team and the La Liga hegemon, these six giants, they are fish belly.

If you want to enter the top four, of course, you want to play fish belly.

Fortunately, the new rules have been changed in this year's quarter-finals, and there is still a lot of hope for Porto against Villarreal.

According to the new rules issued by UEFA, the draw for the quarter-finals this season is completely random, first of all, there is no restriction of "avoiding the same group and the same country", the top four clubs of the Premier League and La Liga are likely to stage a civil war, and Arsenal and Porto, Manchester United and Villarreal, the two pairs of group stage opponents, are also likely to meet again;

The draw took place at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, when Porto manager Diogo and head coach Pacos Ferreira flew to Switzerland to attend the draw, where Porto assistant coach Emmanuel summoned the players to the studio to watch the draw live.

The head coach was not there, and the players were relaxed, everyone was sipping melon seeds, drinking drinks, talking about women and the upcoming draw.

After getting Gao Xiaodong's exquisite free kick assist in the Champions League, Falcao's attitude towards Gao Xiaodong has changed greatly, and he is much more affectionate than before.

"Team, you don't really want to draw Manchester United. "Falcao seems a little apprehensive, Gao Xiaodong is red in the quarterfinals, Falcao and Hulk are still a little flat, they still hope to have a good performance in the quarterfinals, if the Red Devils Manchester United are drawn, it may not be easy to have a good performance.

Gao Xiaodong almost lay on the chair and said leisurely: "I want to be useful, why don't I do anything, I think about it every day." ”

Hulk said: "The high team, I think the best is to draw Villarreal, followed by Arsenal. ”

Captain Alves said: "No one is easy to play, and the one who can reach the quarterfinals is the fish belly." ”

Assistant coach Emmanuel said: "We are fish belly. ”

Alves said: "Yes, everyone outside treats us as fish belly, in fact, we have completed the goal of the quarterfinals, it doesn't matter who we smoke, they all look down on us, we have hope of an upset." ”

Rodriguez said coldly: "Lexus thinks the same way. ”

Which pot is this, Alves's face immediately sank, "Rhexos can compare with us, Porto is also a former Champions League champion, what capital does Resos have." ”

Guarin said: "That is, we can't lose 12 of the bus." ”

Everyone else laughed secretly, what is this Rodriguez really not happy to say, Guarin thought that he was talking to the captain, but in fact, Rodriguez and Alves were afraid that they were not happy.

Gao Xiaodong was about to fan the flames and tease the three, when the draw ceremony had begun, and UEFA Secretary General Taylor drew the first team in the top half, which was Villarreal.

The eyes of the Porto players widened, and many people began to shout: "Porto!

Unfortunately, Arsenal were then pulled out by Bruno Conte, the manager of the club at Roma, who was the venue of the final.

The players in Porto were depressed, and the two teams they liked to play the most actually bumped into each other.

Hulk slapped his thigh and said angrily: "Is this Villarreal the godson of President Platini? ”

Falcao said stupidly: "So, Arsenal is also Platini's godson, they drew Roma in the quarterfinals, and this time they drew Villarreal. ”

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "You don't need to look at it below, it's the same for whoever smokes." ”

At this time, Taylor pulled out Porto, the third team in the top half, and the players held their breath to see who Conte was drawn.

It just so happened that Conte opened the ball and it was the defending champions Manchester United.

"It's Manchester United. ”

"Team Gao, you've made a prophecy!"

"Damn, look at Ferguson, it's all smiling. ”

"Manchester United are going to die of joy and this is a chance to avenge them. ”

"Nima, Manchester United is going to be in the final. ”

……

Gao Xiaodong was also speechless, he didn't expect that he would talk about it casually, and he would really face Manchester United

Guarin said to Gao Xiaodong with a shocked face: "Team Gao, are you also the godson of Chairman Platini?"

Gao Xiaodong patted Gua Er's stunned shoulder, "I'm Platini's godfather." ”

Seeing that everyone looked very depressed, Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "Let's make our wishes come true, after Manchester United, we will either play Villarreal or Arsenal." ”

Everyone was speechless, for the defending champion, he still wants to enter the semi-finals, this possibility is too small.

The draw continued, with Taylor and Antonio Conte drawing Liverpool and Chelsea together for the fifth consecutive season in a row in the Champions League, with Bayern Munich and Barcelona not having to be drawn, as they were the last two teams.

At this time, Alves, who was surfing the Internet with his laptop, said: "Nima, as soon as the draw ended, the bookmaker adjusted the odds to win the championship, Manchester United surpassed Barcelona first, let's be first." ”

Falcao said: "This is too boring. ”

Hulk said: "We don't lose to Manchester United. ”

Gao Xiaodong said with a smile: "The opportunity for counterattack has come." ”

Assistant coach Emmanuel's face was solemn, and he said: "The record is a fart, don't say anything about the counterattack upset, let's be objective, Manchester United is much stronger than us, we want to advance, we need to work hard, plus good luck." ”

Emmanuel said about good luck, Gao Xiaodong suddenly remembered the three special points he used to buy talent points, and he gently slapped his face, Nima, I knew that I would play Manchester United, and I should keep special points to buy luck, and make a big news.

Inside the conference hall at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland

The quarterfinals draw ceremony ended, some people were happy and some were worried.

Representatives and coaches of Arsenal and Manchester United smiled as if they had hit a two-colour ball.

The coaches of Liverpool and Chelsea smiled wryly, five times they met in Europe, plus domestic leagues and cups, I don't know how many times they have been played, whether it is the players, coaches or fans, they are aesthetically tired.

Barcelona and Bayern have no joy and worry-free, according to the results of the match, Bayern has not lost to Barcelona, but now Barcelona's strength is the top two in Europe, naturally not afraid of Bayern, both sides feel that this signing is okay.

Subsequently, the coaches and managers of the major giants were surrounded by reporters for interviews.

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson was very pleased with the signing, saying to his Sky Sports reporter that "it's a very good signing for us, there is no better one in the quarter-finals, and as for the home-and-away fixtures, I don't think it's anything, there's no indication whether it's good or bad to play home or away first." The only hope for playing home first is not to let the opponent score an away goal. ”

'We've played Porto before and we respect any Portuguese team. We have a lot of Portuguese elements in the squad, previously Queiroz, now Nani and Cristiano Ronaldo, and Anderson, who played for Porto. So we know Portuguese football very well. I am very happy with this draw. We are on our way to the championship. ”

Speaking to Sky TV, club secretary Aaron Ramsden said: "It would have been better if we had played away in the first leg, but I think we should be happy about that, even though it doesn't mean we're going to qualify automatically. ”

Ramsden's words were so arrogant and hurtful that Ferreira was angry in an interview, saying: "This signing is not the best, but it's not the worst, at the Dragons Stadium, no Premier League team has won, Manchester United have played us six times, the record is 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats, if I remember correctly, three two-legged knockout rounds, we won twice." ”

Although Porto's record against Manchester United is good, but that is the old calendar, the media and fans don't look at this, whether it is print media or the Internet, everyone thinks that Manchester United can now consider the opponent of the semi-finals, and Porto has reached the quarterfinals, which is very good, don't be like Lexus to be embarrassed and complete the task.
