With a 5-1 win over Hannover 96 at home to the Westphalia Stadium, Borussia Dortmund's first half of the 2012-2013 Bundesliga season has come to an end, with the players on a three-week holiday. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

According to Klopp's requirements for the players, everyone is asked to stay in shape as much as possible, and then return to training on the ninth of next month to prepare for the second half of the season.

At the same time, Jurgen Klopp also breathed a sigh of relief, suffering a back-to-back away winless run at the start of the first half of the league, with Bayern Munich trailing Bayern Munich by nine points at one point, and a surprise home defeat to Wolfsburg at the end of the first half of the league.

The 2012-2013 Bundesliga season is only two points behind Bayern at the halfway point, and as long as there is no more active death in the second half, it is very possible to overtake the points, after all, there is a German national derby worth six points at the end of the league.

However, the end of the league does not mean that everything is over, and the draw for the quarter-finals of the 2012-2013 Champions League season will be held as scheduled.

At 12 noon on December 20, Swiss time, the draw ceremony for the 1/8 finals of the 2012-2013 Champions League was held in Nyon, Switzerland, at UEFA headquarters.

Three of the 16 teams that have qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League this season have finished second in their group, giving the media and fans some reverie.

Which group winner was so unlucky to draw Real Madrid?

Which group winners will be drawn against Arsenal or AC Milan?

In terms of overall strength, the strongest group runner-up is undoubtedly Real Madrid, followed by Arsenal.

As for AC Milan, with Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva leaving for Paris Saint-Germain, the current AC Milan squad looks a bit shamstringy, and it is thanks to the limited ability of the teams in the second and third tiers to qualify from the group.

The media who came to UEFA headquarters in Nyon to participate in the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals was the focus of the media on which group winners would be drawn to Real Madrid.

With the exception of Barcelona, Malaga and Borussia Dortmund, the other five group winners were fearful.

Tang Zheng and his girlfriend Zhao Lina watched the draw live at their home on the Phoenix Lake in Dortmund, and the draw ceremony for the Champions League 1/8 final was still presided over by UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino and UEFA Competition Director Marchetti.

UEFA Secretary-General Gianni Infantino introduced the rules for the draw for the 1/8 finals according to the usual practice, such as the same national team and the same group team are avoided, and the first team in the group has the right to play the knockout stage first.

He then extended his greetings to Barcelona coach Vilanova, who underwent surgery.

After introducing the new Wembley Stadium, the venue of the final, a promotional video of the Champions League round of 16 was played on the spot.

When he saw the Dortmund clip, Tang Zheng couldn't help but admire: "This editor has to give thirty-six praises, which fully reflects the wisdom and martial arts of this handsome guy!"

"Cut~ not ashamed at all. Zhao Lina, who was sitting next to her, said angrily.

"Really, am I not handsome at all?" Tang Zheng took Zhao Lina's hands and stroked his resolute face, looked directly at him, and then asked seriously.

Zhao Lina's pretty face was slightly red, and she didn't pay attention to Tang Zheng, but turned her face away and looked at the TV.

"Hey, hey. The corners of Tang Zheng's mouth raised a good-looking arc, and he took Zhao Lina's little hand and continued to look at the TV.

After the 2012-2013 Champions League round of 16 promotional video was played, the host Gianni Infantino invited UEFA Competition Director Marchetti and final ambassador McManaman to assist in the draw.

"Brother Tang Zheng, which team do you want to draw the most?" Zhao Lina asked curiously.

"I really haven't thought about it. Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, whoever draws it will have to do their best." ”

"Let me ask you which team you would most like to meet!" Zhao Lina said coquettishly.

Tang Zheng now pondered the changes in the girl's facial expression very thoroughly, and hurriedly coughed lightly, and said very seriously: "The weaker, the better." ”

“……”

Zhao Lina rolled her eyes.

Before the draw ceremony for the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, the three teams representing the Bundesliga all won the first place in the group, which means that Dortmund could not draw Real Madrid, and the other seven group runners may be drawn.

As for who he wants to draw the most, Tang Zheng really didn't think about it, the second weakest team in the seven groups is undoubtedly the Scottish team Celtic, but thinking of their 2:1 home defeat to Barcelona, it won't be too easy to really play.

According to the UEFA draw, there are only three teams that Dortmund are most likely to come across, Porto, Arsenal and AC Milan.

Borussia Dortmund and Porto met in the 2010-2011 Europa League 1/16 finals, and finally eliminated Porto 4-2 on aggregate.

It was in the same group as Arsenal in the Champions League group last season, and both games were drawn.

AC Milan were opponents in the quarter-finals of last season's Champions League, with Borussia Dortmund beating each other home and away.

Real Madrid, who unexpectedly finished second in the group, has become the object of discussion in major European media, and according to the rules of the same national football federation team avoidance and the same group team avoidance, Real Madrid may encounter strong opponents.

Paris Saint-Germain, Schalke 04, Juventus, Bayern Munich and Manchester United.

If there is a choice, Real Madrid will definitely be willing to draw Schalke 04, after all, Schalke 04's overall strength is the worst in the first place in each group.

UEFA Secretary-General Gianni Infantino was the first to draw the second place in the group, not Real Madrid, which has attracted much attention, but Galatasaray, the only team to qualify from the Turkish Super League.

Maybe Galatasaray's overall strength is off, but I have to admit that their home atmosphere is very difficult and it is a difficult home stadium to conquer.

Galatasaray are the only team to have progressed to the knockout stages of the Turkish Super League and are likely to face the top of all groups except Manchester United.

UEFA Competition Director Marchetti took a Champions League logo draw ball from each of the seven group winners and placed it in a basin pocket, which was then drawn by final ambassador McManaman.

In the end, the team drawn out was Bundesliga team Schalke 04.

The live director switched cameras, and the club officials who came to draw lots on behalf of the two clubs smiled separately.

Obviously, it was an acceptable draw for both sides.

Immediately, Infantino drew Celtic from the remaining seven teams, and McManaman drew the group top of the group to Juventus.

Tang Zheng saw on TV that Nedved, an official representing Juventus at the draw ceremony for the Champions League 1/8 finals, smiled mysteriously, obviously very satisfied with the draw result.

So he smiled and was speechless: "The best opponent in the knockout round was taken away by Juventus." ”

'Don't be discouraged, there are Porto, Arsenal and AC Milan waiting for you to touch. Zhao Lina said coldly beside her.

"......" Tang Zheng was speechless.

Meanwhile, Gianni Infantino drew one of the remaining six second-placed teams in the group, Arsenal.

Tang Zheng's facial expression instantly became richer, and Zhao Lina stretched out her right hand and pinched Tang Zheng's right cheek: "You're nervous." ”

"How is that possible? I wish I could draw Arsenal!" Tang Zheng certainly wouldn't admit that he was a little nervous.

"Really?"

Zhao Lina smiled playfully.

A short time later, McManaman pulled a Champions League logo ball out of the bowl.

Unscrewing the ball, he said aloud: "Bayern Munich." ”

Suddenly, Tang Zheng let out a sigh of relief.

Truth be told, he doesn't want to draw a strong team too early, with Borussia Dortmund finishing the second half of the season rather tight, two points behind Bayern Munich in the league, and he worries that the team will focus too much on the Champions League and ignore the domestic league.

If the opponents drawn in the Champions League 1/8 finals are weak, the energy invested can be slowed down, so as to play a role in still focusing on the league.

Arsenal drew Bayern Munich, and the officials of both clubs did not look good.

But the on-site reporters were very excited, and the Champions League 1/8 finals finally had a strong dialogue!

The draw ceremony continued, with UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino drawing Shakhtar Donetsk.

With Schalke 04, Juventus and Bayern Munich all drawn, Shakhtar Donetsk could face only Málaga, Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona and Manchester United.

"Shakhtar Donetsk? is also acceptable. Tang Zheng's brain was running at high speed, and he tapped his head.

The runners-up of the four groups were drawn, and the remaining four runners-up were AC Milan, Real Madrid, Valencia and Porto.

In addition to the ironclad inability to draw Real Madrid, Dortmund's most hopeful team in the second of the four groups that have not been drawn is naturally Shakhtar Donetsk.

Although Borussia Dortmund beat AC Milan home and away last season, they still have a strong heritage in the end.

Of course, Shakhtar Donetsk's most desirable opponent is Malaga.

Half a minute later, McManaman pulled out - Dortmund.

The live camera showed Dortmund sporting director Zolke, who looked much better than last season's Champions League 1/8 final and 1/4 final draws.

Shakhtar Donetsk's overall strength is significantly inferior to Dortmund, and as long as they play normally, it is normal to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Next, the atmosphere at the draw site became visibly tense.

Valencia, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Porto are the only four teams that finish second in the group, while Malaga, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Barcelona are the top of the group.

In other words, if Real Madrid is drawn next, according to the rules of the same national team, they can only choose one of the two, either Manchester United or Paris Saint-Germain.

However, Infantino's team is AC Milan, and in addition to Malaga, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Barcelona are all likely to draw.

Paris Saint-Germain have the biggest chance, with two of AC Milan's biggest stars, Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, both moving to Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

But the team McManaman drew was Barcelona -

Immediately, the expressions of AC Milan officials and Barcelona officials who appeared in the broadcast camera became the object of ridicule by the commentators.

Infantino continued to debug the 'golden right hand', and Yang 5 commentator He Wei joked: "There are still three games to be drawn, who is the second group that Infantino will draw next? Will it be Real Madrid?"

The next moment, he was stunned, dumbfounded, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's really Real Madrid! Did they draw Paris Saint-Germain, or Manchester United?"

Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo and Manchester United CEO David Gil had very rich expressions, and it was clear that neither wanted to draw Real Madrid.

"Brother Tang Zheng, who do you think Real Madrid will draw?"

When UEFA's competition director Marchetti took out the draw ball for Paris Saint-Germain, Zhao Lina asked.

Tang Zheng thought for a moment and muttered: "Personally, I feel that it is possible to run into Manchester United. ”

"Why?"

"Silly. Tang Zheng stretched out his hand and pinched Zhao Lina's nose, and said with a smile: "Isn't it a good gimmick for Manchester United's star Cristiano Ronaldo to return to his hometown? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, McManaman unscrewed the draw ball, looked at it, and smiled while flipping the piece of paper: "Manchester-United-F.C." ”

"Whoa," said Andy Gray, the British Sky commentator, with his head in his hands and a painful face, "Manchester United have drawn Real Madrid!" I would like to congratulate Cristiano Ronaldo on coming home, and at the same time I am worried about Sir Alex Ferguson, the manager who will retire next summer, Real Madrid is not an easy team to deal with......

With Real Madrid drawing Manchester United, the remaining four teams no longer need to draw lots, because the undrawn group leader Malaga and the group second Valencia are the same National Football Federation teams, which means that Porto will automatically draw Málaga and Malaga will automatically draw Paris Saint-Germain.

The draw for the 1/8 finals of the 2012-2013 Champions League knockout round is over, and a few are happy and a few are sad.

The strong dialogue is what fans want to see, but it is definitely not what those big teams are willing to meet, especially the clash between Real Madrid and Manchester United, which can be called an early encounter in the Champions League final.

Manchester United, who are preparing for the Christmas Devils' schedule, and Real Madrid, who are in the final domestic league game before the winter break, are depressed, so what can be said about the draw?

The draw for the 1/8 finals of the Champions League is over, followed by the draw ceremony for the 1/16 finals of the Europa League, with 24 teams advancing from the group and eight third-placed teams in the Champions League group stage.

Prior to this, Infantino also announced the time of the Champions League 1/8 finals.

February 12/13, February 19/20, March 5/6, March 12/13, 2013.

The next Europa League round of 32 has nothing to do with Dortmund, Tang Zheng turned off the TV, and pulled Zhao Lina, who was flushed but full of femininity, to the room......

The next day, the media around the world who paid attention to the Champions League analyzed and analyzed the draw for the Champions League 1/8 finals that ended yesterday, and the most talked about 1/8 final encounters in the Champions League were undoubtedly the clashes between Real Madrid and Manchester United, followed by Arsenal vs Bayern Munich and AC Milan vs Barcelona.

Borussia Dortmund's draw against Shakhtar Donetsk was a decent draw, not bad, but not good.

Of course, compared to Bayern Munich's draw to Arsenal and Schalke 04's draw to Galatasaray, the results are much better......
