Chapter 123 Two consecutive victories are like a mountain
In the middle of the two annual awards ceremonies, against Fiorentina, the draw for the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League knockout stage was also announced, with a league-less AC Milan draw again against Celtic Scotland's last-16 opponents.
It is said that it was signed, because there was no big upset in the process of entering the round of 16 this time, and if the defending champion Madiburg was eliminated at the bottom of the group, it would not count. In the round of 16, there are four seats in the Premier League, three seats each in Italy and Spain, two seats in Ligue 1, one seat each in Portugal and the Netherlands, and only Bayern Munich is left in the Bundesliga.
The strength should not be underestimated, they are all familiar customers over the years, only the Celtic is a new hand, in comparison, the Su Super League is the opponent who wants to meet the first of the eight groups. In the league, it is difficult to drink cold water, but AC Milan is clearly lucky in the Champions League.
The fall of Madiburg has restored the Bundesliga to the bleakness of its previous years, but Bayern, the only remaining fruit, does not dare to breathe, because their opponent is Real Madrid.
The little pig Schweinsteiger was angry and didn't fight anywhere, he complained in the Six Musketeers brothers: I'm really a dog, every year like this, every year it's all you sluts. It's either the second brother or the scar, and the scar is still the second brother. It's hard to take advantage of the second brother this year, butcher, are you interesting? This championship is just for me to draw lots......
Except for the butcher and the piggy face to face with the gong, the other four brothers are still lucky, Scar has no feelings for Porto, but Mourinho once again faces his old club that has made him famous, and I don't know if the mood is still up. Grandpa and his Manchester United meet Lille in Ligue 1 that Zhuo Yang just destroyed, it must not be difficult, and their recovery momentum this year is very good.
The second brother is a little trickier, and I don't know what kind of turmoil Inter Milan and Valencia will bring.
All in all, while the four brothers are betting on the butcher and the piglet, they are also ready to watch Barcelona and Liverpool kill each other with great interest. Of course, this will all be in February of next year.

The late start of Serie A this season has caused an unusually tight schedule, with Zhuo Yang returning from Zurich and AC Milan facing Catania at home in the 17th round of the league two days later.
Catania is a club that was founded quite early, but it has been up and down between B and C, and occasionally appears in the first division and then quickly disappears from people's sight, and Catania is a promoted horse this year. However, there is something worth mentioning about this team.
Old TV viewers know that in the early years, Serie A has always been 18 teams, resolutely not blindly expanding the army, this number is also very reasonable, 34 rounds of league arrangements in the middle of many other competitions, the 'mini World Cup' during the scale but also wonderful. In order to match the size of the top league, Serie B has also maintained the number of 20 teams. However, this stable league structure was broken in 2003.
That year, Catania and Siena drew in a Serie B match, and after the game Catania complained that Siena had used a player who was supposed to be suspended. Anyway, there are a lot of bullshit things in it, so I won't go into details.
The Italian Football Federation first ruled in favor of Catania, but Siena appealed and then changed the decision to a draw. As a result, Catania took the lawsuit to court with a complaint, which also broke the industry rules for the settlement of football matters. The court ruled in favour of Catania, which had legal effect.
The Football Association's ruling is contrary to the court's decision, and what is even more embarrassing is that Catania's three are involved in the issue of whether Napoli and Venice will be relegated. In the end, the Football Association lived in the mud within its own circle, Catania got 3 points, and those two teams did not need to be relegated, no one was relegated this year, and Serie B was directly expanded to 24 teams.
In the following year, Fiorentina in the second division with the assistance of AC Milan jumped to replace Cosenza to play in the second division, coupled with the intensification of competition after the expansion, this series of turmoil caused strong dissatisfaction among the second division clubs, and began to plan a boycott to protest.
In order to appease everyone, the anxious Italian Football Association can only increase the number of places promoted to the first division, but it cannot also increase the number of relegation places in the first division at the same time, which will completely turn the table. As a result, the army was simply expanded.
Since then, Serie A, which is known for its stability and prosperity, has become the current scale of 20 teams. If it weren't for the toss of this small club, with the lazy and conservative work attitude and style of the Italian Football Association bureaucrats, it is estimated that there will still be 18 Serie A teams in another 100 years.
.
For the first time at home after the double awards, Zhuo Yang naturally wanted to hold two trophies, one gold and one bronze, to show to the Rossoneri, and the whole Catania team was also very interesting, and lined up to express their respect for Zhuo Yang.
AC Milan has no shortage of this stuff in their history, but who would be so honorable? The fans in the San Siro stands congratulated Zhuo Yang with the cheers of the mountain and the tsunami. No matter how strange it is, Zhuo Yang is also the only active European footballer in the AC Milan team, and the club's senior management attaches great importance to this, and there are a series of celebrations to celebrate the many unpleasant things behind the phone door.
Fame and fortune are not all floating clouds, but it is not the end of life. Satisfied, they have to fight for the games they should face, and although Catania have been promoted and deceived at the start of the season, they have recently changed their appearance. Milan has no wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in the last 8 rounds, while Catania has only one loss in the previous 9 rounds with 4 wins and 4 draws, although the loss was slaughtered by Roma 7:0, even so, it looks more energetic than Milan.
However, maybe it was the joy of getting the trophy, maybe it was because the bald general manager gave the military order that 'two consecutive victories must be won before the winter break', Milan's three armies fought bravely to kill the enemy one by one, and even Bonella, who was always frightened in the past, showed Nesta's demeanor.
Even Ji Momoko Radino scored again, and AC Milan gave Catania a 4:0 the second defeat in the last 10 rounds.
Life must be full of joy, and all good things cannot be taken up. The European Golden Ball was very beautiful, but it didn't bring much luck to Zhuo Yang, he didn't open in front of the goal again, but Kaka maintained his goal strong, following the brace in the last game, this game scored a hat-trick. The winter break is coming, and when the Europeans are approaching the New Year, Kaka can also be regarded as a New Year's pig.
Just two days later, AC Milan topped Udinese 3-0 away. Perhaps it was age that caused him to be indifferent to the holidays, and the centre-back Simic, who was temporarily partnered by Kaladze, turned into a concrete wall, and the two new star strikers of Iaquinta and Di Natale, who have been unusually vigorous this season, have met in front of Simic and have nothing to do. Holidays make young people impetuous.
Kaka opened the scoring for Milan and closed the scoring with another brace, while Oliveira, who failed to score in the game against Momoko Yoshi, was also more excited than Kaka, who scored seven goals in three games.
Zhuo Yang still didn't score, not because he didn't want to, but because it was useless to think about it. However, in these two games with a total of 7 goals, he directly assisted 3 times and planned the attack 3 times.
After successfully completing the high-level two-round killing order, the shortest winter break in Zhuo Yang's four years in Europe came.
