Chapter 421: Lottery Results

"Do you think UEFA will cheat at the draw ceremony?"

While everyone was chatting, Wilshere, who had begun to gradually train with the first team, asked suspiciously: "They all say that UEFA will manipulate the draw, how did they get it?" Was everything really arranged? ”

Cesc Fabregas put his arm around Wilshere, he has a very good relationship with Wilshere recently, after all, Xiaofa is just 20 years old, and when several of his midfield partners are getting old, I am afraid that he and Wilshere are partners in the midfield, and the two are almost the youngest in the team and have a common language.

"Manipulation must be manipulated, otherwise how would they achieve their intentions?"

Xiaofa replied in the tone of a big brother: "It is said that they will put the small balls in the refrigerator and the oven separately in advance, and then mix the freshly baked small balls into them, and distinguish them according to the temperature, and take which ball they want!" ”

Wilshere doesn't seem to understand, although he is not a top student, but he probably also knows that if the hot and cold balls touch together, there should be condensed water droplets on the surface, that is, the balls are sweating, which is easy to expose, right?

However, Xiaofa obviously can't answer his doubt, because Xiaofa doesn't know what high-tech means UEFA will use to make ghosts.

At this time, it is Quaresma's turn to play!

Quaresma coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, before he spoke slowly.

"Controlling the temperature of the ball is actually easy to get caught, although UEFA may not really care too much, but they shouldn't make such a low-level mistake!"

"Although I don't know exactly how UEFA works, I won't get away with it."

"For example, controlling the size of the ball, making the draw ball different sizes, because of factors such as distance and glass refraction and angle, it is not easy to be found, but the lottery guests can easily find out the size, and then they can do whatever they want!"

"Otherwise, it is to choose different materials to make small balls, so that some balls are more sufficient, as long as the guests have done their homework before and are familiar with the weight of the balls, they can easily distinguish different balls."

"In addition, you can also magnetize the small ball that needs to be touched, and at the same time, the lottery guest carries an iron ring, as long as you put your hand into it, the small ball will be automatically sucked over! So, let's see if the lottery guests are wearing rings! ”

"Of course, there are other ways, such as tightening the balls tightly, some tightly, some loosely and half-open, so that you can distinguish between different balls!"

"Otherwise, you can also train the lottery guests in advance, and make the article on the lottery guests, there is no blank paper in the ball itself, but at the moment of unscrewing the ball, the note will be turned into the ball in a close-up magic way, although it is a bit difficult to do this, but as long as the guests are fast, it is almost the most risk-free way!"

......

The teammates were dumbfounded!

They never imagined that there would be so many ways to cheat in the lottery, that is, as long as UEFA is willing, it can play with everyone!

"Are you sure you didn't participate in the lottery?" Henry muttered, "How do you understand the twists and turns so well?" ”

Quaresma smiled, smiling without saying a word.

Whatever UEFA does, as long as they are careful, they will not be caught, and without evidence, you have no way to blame them.

The teammates were all dumbfounded, at this time, even Wenger was stunned, he had been to the lottery site so many times, but he still couldn't find the trick in it, obviously, he was also the one who was deceived.

"But you don't have to worry about that!" Quaresma clapped his hands and said indifferently: "Our strength is here, no one will want to meet us, no matter how UEFA manipulates the draw results, we all want to win the championship, so, this is not a problem at all!" ”

Although that being said, the problem is that no one will be happy to be toyed with.

It's one thing whether I can win or not, it's another thing for you to fool around!

These methods casually mentioned by Quaresma are not untargeted, but some possible ways of cheating that everyone speculated in his previous life.

At the draw ceremony of the German World Cup, the draw guest Mateus drew the United States team into Italy's group, creating a group of death, and before that, Mateus had obviously picked up a small ball, but finally put the ball down, and then drew the United States team......

If there is no catty in this, it is just that Mateus's hand slipped, and Quaresma would not believe it.

While this is what FIFA does, what is the essential difference between FIFA and UEFA?

Coincidentally, in the 07 Asian Cup draw in the previous life, the Thai child in charge of the draw picked up a ball and twisted it according to Wilapan's instructions, and immediately quickly screwed it back and replaced it with another one!

Anyway, the world is as black as a crow, and it's the same everywhere.

At this moment, the lottery guests came on the stage, and everyone fell silent.

The draw was made by former Brazilian star Zico, which is also the usual practice of the draw ceremony, and the football legend will always be featured as a guest of the lot.

Of course, the self-proclaimed celebrities of UEFA will not be invited, because they simply cannot control it.

Everyone watched the broadcast intently, and when Zico finished his formulaic speech, the lottery ceremony officially began.

Zico smiled and reached into the container under everyone's gaze, pulling out the first ball.

"Porto!"

Zico unscrewed the ball, took out the note, unfolded it in front of everyone, and read the name of the club on it, and said it loudly.

The sound of rapid breathing in the multi-purpose hall of the training base instantly became soothing, and it was clear that Porto's opponents would not be Arsenal, as the two teams had just met in the group stage and could not be opponents in the knockout round of 16.

And at this time, Zico also drew out Porto's opponents.

"Chelsea!"

There was an uproar at the draw scene, and even the teammates around Quaresma looked at each other, surprised by the result of the draw.

Actually drew Chelsea and Porto together, UEFA obviously wants to completely consume the story between Mourinho and his old club!

In Quaresma's season in Porto, Mourinho had just reigned in the Premier League, and in order to create a buzz, UEFA put Chelsea and Porto in the same group, and it was precisely because of the two-legged game against Chelsea that Quaresma, who played a wonderful performance, re-entered everyone's attention.

And now, UEFA has actually done this again, and Mourinho is about to be hyped up again in the face of the topic of his old club!

Quaresma said he was speechless, although Chelsea seem to have lost their dominance this season, they are still strong, far from being able to resist the frequent squad changes Porto, who are afraid of losing the knockout round of 16.

I can't help but feel sorry for my old teammates, although they can't play any group winners, and they have some chances, but when they meet Chelsea, they really don't have any chances.

The draw is still going on, and after Zico took out the balls one after another, several sets of duels have also been freshly baked, attracting everyone's attention.

Celtic vs Bayern

PSV Eindhoven VS Lyon

Lille v AC Milan

Roma vs Manchester United

I don't know why, Zico drew out all the weak teams in the second type of the group, and the three real giants in the second group still did not show up.

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Inter Milan, these three teams are the kings of the second place in the group.

Among the seeded teams, there are three teams that have not been drawn, Arsenal, Liverpool and Valencia.

Everyone started to get nervous, because the next step was probably a real life-and-death showdown.

"Inter Milan"

"Inter Milan"

"Inter Milan"

......

Eboué and the others had folded their hands and began to pray, muttering incessantly, as if God would receive his signal if he had said too much.

Quaresma was amused, and followed his example, clasping his hands together and muttering in his mouth.

"Barcelona"

"Barcelona"

"Barcelona"

......

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched as they looked at Quaresma, obviously they didn't like the opponent Quaresma was talking about.

Although Arsenal swept Barcelona in last season's Champions League final with Quaresma's outburst, Barcelona cannot be considered weak because of this, what if their form recovers in the second half of the season?

It's bad enough that Arsenal didn't meet those fish belly teams, so let's not run into Barcelona, an opponent who is not easy to deal with!

Obviously, of the remaining three giants, Barcelona are the most difficult to deal with, and none of them want to bump into them.

As for Real Madrid, the Galaxy Battleship disintegrated in the first phase, but it seems that Real Madrid has also put down its baggage and played well in La Liga, and Capello's team is not so easy to play.

Among the three teams, no matter how you look at it, Inter Milan's strength is slightly worse, even if Inter Milan is unique in Serie A, but Serie A behind the phone door is almost out of the five major leagues, so everyone hopes that they can meet Inter.

"Inter Milan"

Zico pulled out Inter and then reached into the container on the other side.

At this time, Quaresma will inevitably get serious, but even if he doesn't think about it rationally, he has a feeling that Inter's opponent is not Arsenal.

"Valencia"

When Zico announced Inter's opponents, everyone at A.T. Kearney couldn't help but let out a sigh of chagrin.

"I actually let Valencia pick up this bargain!" Van Persie said frustratedly, and it was clear that his words could speak for everyone.

Quaresma can't help but have a black line, do you really think Inter is a soft persimmon?

What do you mean by "Valencia picked up this bargain"?

Valencia is depressed enough that it didn't draw those fish bellies in front of it, Inter's strength is almost the same as that of the Bat Army, and even slightly stronger, drawing Inter, Valencia is not enough to worry about?

However, there are only two teams left, and Arsenal's opponents are either Real Madrid or Barcelona, and it is estimated that they will have to fight with the two giants of La Liga.

Last season, Arsenal met Real Madrid in the knockout rounds, and then played Barcelona in the final, ravaging the La Liga duo.

Now, the two teams are once again in front of Arsenal, only this time with a choice between two or the other.

Quaresma couldn't help but hold his forehead, but he didn't expect his guess to be right.

It's either Real Madrid or Barcelona!

Is UEFA really going down this line?

At this point, though, Quaresma felt as if he had overlooked something.

The names of the remaining four teams appeared in his mind, and Quaresma watched the scene in amazement, thoughtful.

Arsenal and Barcelona are Nike teams, while Real Madrid and Liverpool are Adidas teams.

What does this mean?

The Champions League draw is a feast of compromises in many aspects, and among them, Adidas and Nike, as the world's two major sports brands, will obviously participate in the competition.

It would not seem to be an exaggeration to say that the Champions League is a showdown between Adidas and Nike.

In recent years, the sponsorship rule throughout the knockout stages of the Champions League has been to avoid teams from the same camp as much as possible from bumping into each other too early.

Last season's Champions League final was Nike's big victory, which turned into a Nike civil war, while Chelsea and Milan and other Adi teams were blocked from the final, and Nike became the biggest winner.

And if this principle is followed, then Arsenal and Barcelona, two teams sponsored by Nike, may not meet in the round of 16, so Arsenal's opponent is not only Real Madrid?

Thinking of this possibility, Quaresma didn't know what to make.

Sure enough, football is commercialized, and he doesn't even know if it's right or wrong.

"Real Madrid"

Zico pulled out Real Madrid and immediately reached into another container and took out the ball.

For some reason, Quaresma looked at Zico's serious appearance and felt extremely funny, as if he were watching an opera full of irony.

"Arsenal"

When Arsenal's name came out of Zico's mouth, everyone let out mixed exclamations.

In fact, the opponent can only be one of Barcelona and Real Madrid, and no matter who is drawn, such exclamations are indispensable.

"It's Real Madrid!"

"This result seems to be good, at least Real Madrid shouldn't be able to beat Barcelona, right?"

"Now in La Liga, Real Madrid is leading the way, okay?"

"Anyway, they're all defeated, what are you worried about?"

......

The teammates discussed it in a gossiping manner, although they were a little surprised to draw Real Madrid, but they were not panicked, after all, the stable record gives everyone the strongest self-confidence, and they can easily pass the test in the face of any opponent.

At this moment, the broadcast screen gave the Real Madrid representative a shot, and the wry smile on the face of the Real Madrid representative could not be concealed, and from his expression, everyone could see Real Madrid's attitude - for Real Madrid, this is not a good sign.

Indeed, Arsenal destroyed the Galaxy Battleship with their own hands last season, and finally won the Champions League all the way, so strong!

After Arsenal strengthened their midfield this season, their record was terrible, and no one wanted to be Arsenal's opponent, but they just let Real Madrid meet them, how could they be happy?
