70. The quarterfinals

After winning the 2011 Ballon d'Or in January, Leo Messi has been one of the most talked-about players in European football. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Especially since February, his state has been even hotter.

League, league, national team, Champions League, league, he scored 15 goals in five games, an outrageous three per game!

Moreover, he has successively achieved a hat trick for the national team and a single big five yuan in the Champions League knockout round, which is enough to become a heavyweight record in history.

He even had a hunch that he was going to have the craziest year of scoring in 2012.

But I don't know when an unfamiliar name began to enter his life.

A name so simple that you can never forget it after hearing it once.

good-qin。

A Chinese name.

This guy has a lot of nicknames: "Chinese God", "Asian MVP", "Dort Core", "Bayern Killer", "Bundesliga Heavy Gunner", ......

Chinese, Bundesliga, such a person would not have made Messi feel any threat at all, but recently he has become the one chasing him.

In the first six rounds of the group stage and the first round of the quarterfinals of this Champions League, Messi scored 7 goals, and the average of 1 goal per game would have made him quite satisfied, but that Chinese...... In the case of the first time in the Champions League, it took only 5 games to brush up on 13 goals!

This is a slight embarrassment for the Champions League Golden Boot winner, who scored 12 goals in all 13 games last season.

So he used a "five-son denko" that shocked the world to narrow the gap between the two to one goal.

Fortunately, the Chinese kid was dumb in Italy, otherwise his efforts would be a little embarrassing.

I really hope to meet him in the Champions League......

High pressing + fast advancement, such a team, Barcelona also likes it.

Quarter-finals or semi-finals?

Could it be the final round?

Messi shook his head, dispelling the image of the Chinese from his mind.

He's starting a new day of training.

Cristiano Ronaldo has also been a bit upset lately.

His Real Madrid side are in a rosy position to beat rivals Barcelona in the league, and it looks like they can end Barca's monopoly on the league this year, but in the Champions League, his performance has been somewhat underwhelming.

As a top goalscorer, the Champions League is his highest stage at club level. Not long ago, this stage belonged only to him and Messi, but two months ago, the little guy called the Chinese God was born and not only became a terrible spoiler, but also left himself and Messi behind.

Messi managed to score five goals in a single game to save face, but he failed to break out in time to get back a game, what can I do?

Unless a quarter of Platini can give himself a big package?

March 16, 2012.

On the same night that the major leagues had just concluded a new round of competition, UEFA held a draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League at their headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Compared to the quarter-final draw after the group stage, the draw is much smaller.

After all, this is not an off-season, and the managers of the teams rarely come to the venue for this small meeting of less than half an hour, but UEFA stipulates that clubs must send a representative to attend the meeting, so they can only appoint high-level personnel such as CEOs and sports directors to attend, and these senior executives are also willing to take the opportunity to travel abroad at public expense, and by the way, they will be interviewed by the media to increase their fame.

Before the draw, Dort's sporting director Zorke gave an interview to the media.

Of course, there is only one question: "Which team would you like to play against?" ”

Zolke's answer was as rigorous and meaningless as a written team announcement: "To be able to reach the quarterfinals, every team has a lot of quality, and every team is not easy to play. No matter which team we draw, all we have to do is prepare carefully and play our best in the game......"

At this time, the reporter really began to miss the somewhat big-mouthed Klopp......

The draw ceremony was presided over by UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino as usual, and to a low background music, the famous bald head of the football world gave a short speech.

Combined with the thanks to the guests and the condolences to the Barcelona star Abidal who is battling his illness, Infantino took up less than five minutes in total.

As the big screen took turns showing the promotion performances of each team, the draw guest Paul Breitner slowly walked out.

Even though it was early in the morning, CCTV5 also broadcast the brief draw ceremony because it was about the next opponent of the Chinese players.

He Wei briefly introduced the guests to Beijing for the audience who stayed in front of the TV: "As a German player of the same era as the 'Emperor of Football' Beckenbauer, Breitner, nicknamed 'Explosive Head', is also an important member of the West German national team. Although he is a defensive player in central midfield, he has been able to score in double figures in each of the five seasons since his second move to Bayern, enough to put most forwards to shame. ”

"Like most famous German players, his main peak was at Bayern Munich, and he also played for Real Madrid for three years, and with the club and national team winning the Bundesliga, La Liga, Champions League, European Championship and World Cup, he also won the title of German Footballer of the Year, and he is a famous figure in German football."

His partner Xu Yang introduced the rules of the draw: "According to the latest rules, there is no limit to the draw between the quarter-finals, which may form a same-country derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid, or Bayern and Dort, but considering that it is only the quarter-finals now, even for the sake of ratings and commercial effect, UEFA will try to avoid such a thing from happening......"

At the draw site, Breitner, who was a guest, also expressed his opinion: "The Greek from Cyprus successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which surprised many people, but they showed tenacious fighting spirit and tacit cooperation in the elimination of Ligue 1 hegemon Lyon, and their performance was worthy of this quarter-final position; Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund beat Italy twice over two legs against Inter Milan in an equally impressive match, with Gudchin's brilliant pass sending fans to cry out for a miracle. However, given the quality and experience, defending champions Barcelona are still favourites. ”

After talking nonsense, the exploding head fished out the first ball from the pool with eight small balls, and he slowly unscrewed the shell and opened the note inside.

"The Greeks compete." The first one he drew was the Cypriot dark horse that he had just highly praised.

Then he pulled a ball out of the pool.

"Real Madrid."

The scene was slightly quiet, and the media's cameras were all aimed at the representative of Real Madrid Club, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he was very satisfied.

Nonsense, with this gift package that everyone wants, Real Madrid was simply carried into the semi-finals by UEFA!

The Bayern legend then drew another big package for his home side, Benfica, and Rummenigge looked equally happy.

The remaining three opponents, Barcelona, Milan, and Chelsea, are not at all a level away from Benfica and Atletico Greeks!

Breitner showed his impartiality by reaching out and stirring around the pool twice at random, then pulled a small ball out of it.

"Dortmund."

Zorge immediately held his breath.

The German guest stirred again, and took out another of the remaining three balls.

He slowly twisted the shell of the ball, unfolded the note inside, and aimed it at the guests and the camera.

"Barcelona."

Klopp, who was watching the live broadcast in Germany, suddenly felt a bitterness in his mouth.

Lao Tzu has really become a crow's mouth?

It's okay for you to let me smoke AC Milan, why did you draw the Cosmos team in full swing?! (To be continued.) )
