Chapter 352: The Battle of Revenge! (Ask for a recommended ticket commuter pass)
Maldini: "Zenit St. Petersburg!" ”
The camera gave Zanetti, the legendary captain of Inter Milan reached out and touched the ball, took out a sign, twisted it, glanced at it, and then unfolded and said: Benfica!
It was a coincidence that the weakest seeded team, Zenit St. Petersburg, drew Benfica, the weakest of the remaining group runners.
"It's intentional!" Salah shouted.
There is a lot of discussion, which is obviously in line with UEFA's urine, and every year in the draw, there will be this kind of balanced 'weak team' confrontation, which can ensure that a team from the non-top five leagues can enter the quarterfinals, in order to highlight the 'results' of UEFA's support for small and medium-sized leagues.
In this situation, Liverpool only have two options, either to meet Roma or Juventus, and they are going to collide with the teams in Serie A anyway.
Subsequently, Maldini and Zanetti jointly drew Dynamo Kiev to Manchester City, and the Blue Moon can be said to have drawn a good draw.
Maldini: "Barcelona! ”
Zanetti: "Arsenal! ”
The camera immediately showed the representatives of Barcelona and Arsenal, with the former smiling and the latter smiling.
Arsenal, who were slaughtered by Bayern Munich 5-1 in the group stage, met an even more ferocious Barcelona in the first round of the knockout round, which can be said to be more than lucky.
……
Now, only Real Madrid and Liverpool are left in the seeded team, and Roma and Juventus are the only unseeded teams.
In terms of strength, Liverpool is best able to meet the Roma team, compared to Liverpool, Roma's strength is indeed a lot inferior.
Of course, Real Madrid will definitely want to draw Roma as well, Juventus were the runners-up in the Champions League last season, and no one wants to meet Juventus so early.
Maldini: "Real Madrid! ”
The camera follows Zanetti all the time.
Zanetti took out the sign, twisted the sign, looked at the note, and showed an inexplicable smile: "Roma!" ”
Real Madrid vs Roma!
In this case, there is only one group of teams left, and you don't have to go to the draw to know the result: Liverpool vs Juventus!
There was also a burst of discussion at the scene, Liverpool can be said to have met the strongest group runner-up, as the runner-up of the Champions League last season, Juventus's strength can be said to be stronger than most of the seeded teams, at least in the eyes of the media and fans, Juventus's strength is above Liverpool.
Moreover, you must know that Liverpool was eliminated by Juventus last season.
……
Lallana: "It's definitely arranged. ”
"yes, how could it be so coincidental to run into Juventus again!"
For example, UEFA's precedent for a match between Liverpool and Juventus that 'enemies are particularly eye-catching when they meet', and it has to make people suspect that it was arranged in advance.
"Alright." Jiang Chenxi clapped his hands and said, "This is the best match!" ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all looked excited.
That's right, it's the best matchup!
Liverpool players were unwilling to be eliminated by Juventus last season, and now they are ready to meet Juventus again in the knockout round after a year, and this time they want to take revenge!
To be honest, in the first round of the knockout round, they met the strong Juventus, which was definitely a signing for Liverpool, and Klopp was worried that the players would be under pressure, and he was going to say something.
But, now, it seems, he doesn't need to say anything more.
Jiang Chenxi expressed his attitude in one sentence, and it also aroused the fighting spirit of the whole team!
As Jiang Chenxi said, this is the best lottery result!
Juventus may indeed be a difficult obstacle to overcome, but if Liverpool can overcome Juventus, then this matchup will be a good baptism for Liverpool, and the players will be able to overcome the shame and greatly boost the confidence of the whole team.
……
So far, the 2015/2016 quarter-finals have all been revealed:
Real Madrid vs Roma;
Bayern Munich vs Gent;
Chelsea v Paris Saint-Germain;
Barcelona vs Arsenal;
Manchester City vs Dynamo Kyiv;
Atletico Madrid vs VfL Wolfsburg;
Zenit St. Petersburg vs Benfica;
Liverpool vs Juventus.
After the results of the draw were announced, it also caused heated discussions in the media.
Of the four teams in the Premier League, only Manchester City drew Zenit St. Petersburg, which is considered a good signing, and the others, Chelsea against Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal against Barcelona, and Liverpool against Juventus, can be said to be signed.
The media in England have questioned that the Premier League has been hacked by UEFA again.
Conspiracy theories are always compelling.
The most critical thing is that the Guardian also found 'evidence'.
……
The Guardian believes that Liverpool should have played against Roma, however, UEFA arranged for Roma to give Real Madrid.
The media's 'slow motion' replay analyzed the moment when Real Madrid drew Rome, but careful reporters and netizens found the trick: when the draw guest Zanetti drew Real Madrid's opponent, the video showed that his hand reached into the middle of many small balls, and then pressed the "specific" one, and "pretended" to stir around in the middle of the ball, but his hand never left the original "selected" one. When he took out the note inside the ball, it showed the team: Roma.
Therefore, the English media believes that Real Madrid drew Roma, which was arranged in advance, or it can also be said that Liverpool drew Juventus as well.
Some people say that on TV, those small balls are the same size, how to cheat? In fact, there is a mystery in the doorway! - The size of the ball is the same, but the weight can be made differently, and you can feel it when you play with your hand. Then there is to change the temperature of the ball, heat the ball in advance, and draw which one is hot. Or freeze whichever ice hand picks. This is really not a wild guess, a certain year of the sports day draw, the small ball in the glass basin has been frozen, but thousands of calculations, the cheater forgot that it is summer, after this treatment of the ball encountered hot gas, the surface of the water droplets, instant goofs, leaking horses' feet.
Roma are one of the weakest teams to qualify this season and have the lowest number of points, and are considered to be relatively weak opponents.
The English media questioned whether UEFA's decision to put Real Madrid and Roma together was deliberate and guaranteed to advance them to the next round.
The English media also threw out more evidence to prove that Real Madrid was escorted for a long time.
In 2013, at the Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony, Turkey's Galatasaray drew the favourites Real Madrid. The Turks, who felt that it had been "deliberately arranged", were determined to investigate, and they found clues in the picture: before the draw guest McManaman was about to draw the ball, the UEFA Secretary General Invatino, who was standing on the side, suddenly put his hand on the side of the glass, and his left hand made a gesture of pressing something, and then gently lifted the glass a little with his right hand - this trick-like move is ironclad evidence that UEFA manipulated the lottery!
Because Vatino is turning on a switch with his hand, activating a system that can manipulate the rolling frequency of the ball. Subsequently, the Turk followed Infantino's method "by the script", and the result was very accurate and consistent with the results of the UEFA draw. The Turk was furious: "It is clear that the Champions League and Europa League draws have been rigged by UEFA. ”
The media in Madrid categorically denied this, and they also brought Bayern Munich as a shield, saying that Real Madrid drew Rome as a guarantee, so how can Bayern Munich draw Gent? !
……
The media in England are upset about Liverpool.
However, the whole Liverpool team was very calm.
They did not make irresponsible remarks about the 'greasy' of the draw, but directly accepted the result and showed a strong fighting spirit.
Jurgen Klopp: "Juventus are very strong, they eliminated us last season and this time we want to make a breakthrough. ”
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson: "We're looking forward to seeing Juventus again! ”
Liverpool's number one star Jiang Chenxi was even more blunt: "The result is very good, I am very satisfied!" ”
This sentence also caused strong dissatisfaction on the part of Turin.
The Turin media criticized Jiang Chenxi for being too arrogant, and be careful of crying when the time comes.
Juventus' French star Paul Pogba responded on his personal social account: Relive old dreams!
He used the picture of Juventus' home elimination of Liverpool last season, with Jiang Chenxi's lost expression sitting in the stands in the background!
The Liverpool media also criticized the French for being too arrogant, and Jiang Chenxi will personally teach him a good lesson when the time comes!
All of a sudden, although there are still more than two months to go before the quarterfinals, Liverpool and Torino can already be said to be tense.
……
A day later, on December 13th.
In the 16th round of the English Premier League, Liverpool was forced to draw 2-2 by West Bromwich Albion at home, and Jiang Chenxi scored a goal.
The English media have criticised Liverpool, believing that they are habitually distracted when facing teams in the middle and lower tiers, and the results are always unsatisfactory.
The Times also explores Liverpool's problems this season, with Liverpool often winning against the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea, and by a big margin, but conceding points against mid-table teams is a no-brainer for a team aiming to defend the league title.
The Chinese media also analyzed the situation, and some netizens joked that Liverpool's behavior is called 'robbing the rich and helping the poor'!
Forced to a draw by West Bromwich Albion, Liverpool dropped top spot in the Premier League table, with Leicester City leading the table with 35 points, while Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are all tied on 32 points, in second to fourth place.
Some reporters hurriedly went to interview Ranieri, they wanted to hear what this old man would say now, they didn't believe this old man's current situation and the face to say that Leicester City's goal is relegation!
Claudio Ranieri: We're five points away from relegation, it's tough, and we don't know how many games we're going to have to get those five points!
This bad old man......
……
16 December, 2015/2016 English League Cup quarter-finals.
Liverpool are back at Southampton and their quarter-final opponents are Southampton for the second time this season.
The media in England joked that the match between Liverpool and Southampton, Liverpool fans did not have to worry at all, and woke up to another victory.
Southampton fans were unhappy with this, and they strongly protested, believing that it was disrespectful to Southampton.
Southampdo fans are still gathering at the team's training base to cheer on the team, and this time it must be good for Liverpool!
Ninety minutes of play ended.
Southampton's St Mary's Stadium booed the sky.
The scoreboard on the pitch is very glaring: Southampton 1:8 Liverpool!
Scoring time: 11 points, 19 points, 35 points, 61 points Jiang Chenxi; 26 points, Mane; 39, 66, Salah; Van Dijk, 81 points.
Jiang Chenxi scored four goals in the game, Mohamed Salah scored twice, and Sadio Mane and Van Dijk also scored a goal each, and Southampton suffered a very heart-wrenching defeat.
The English media also discussed the game after the game, and the "Daily Mirror" even joked that when the bookmaker encounters the match between Liverpool and Southampton in the future, it is best to close the market and not accept betting, otherwise it will lose money.
The Sun interpreted the game from another angle, "Petren, Lallana, Klein, Mane, Van Dijk, look at these players wearing Liverpool shirts, you can see why Southampton ended up in such a situation......
The Sun criticized Liverpool as Bayern Munich in the Premier League, and Southampton as victims of being hollowed out by Liverpool, and reminded Southampton fans to be careful, Liverpool will continue to gather wool.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp strongly disagrees with this, believing that these accusations are nonsense, and solemnly stated that Liverpool has no intention of bringing in reinforcements from Southampton in the future......
……
Three days later, in the 17th round of the English Premier League, Liverpool scored with Jiang Chenxi's header in the first half and defeated Watford by one goal.
A Liverpool win is not news.
In this round of the league, Arsenal beat Manchester City 2-1 at home, which was the highlight of this round.
In addition, the media focus was on Leicester City winning again, with the Foxes beating Everton 3-2 away to continue leading the table.
Now, in the Premier League standings, Leicester City leads with 38 points, Liverpool follows with 35 points, Arsenal has 35 points, but the goal difference is less, ranking third, Manchester City is in fourth place with 32 points, and the blue moon, which has been leading before, is gradually falling behind.
The media is also focused on what the old man Ranieri will say this time.
Claudio Ranieri: We're two points away from relegation, it's difficult.
The melon-eating crowd is now a little speechless when they hear Ranieri say this.
Then, the media and fans were excited, because in the 18th round of the league a week later, Leicester City will meet Liverpool directly, which is another atypical battle for the top spot!
