Chapter 075: Quarterfinals
The quarterfinals of the Champions League have all been announced, and everyone's eyes have been attracted by the draw for the quarterfinals.
After the day's training, Jiang Chenxi watched the draw for the quarter-finals of the 201/2014 Champions League season broadcast live on ZDF 2 with Reus, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan and Gundogan, who is still recovering from injury.
Before the draw ceremony began, ZDF showed some special 'tidbits'.
These tidbits are the 'special memories' of the teams that have just finished the Champions League 1/8 finals.
For example, after Atletico Madrid eliminated Napoli and advanced to the quarter-finals, their manager Simeone ran passionately and skelt in celebration.
For example, after Paris Saint-Germain eliminated Bayer Leverkusen bloodlessly to advance, their number one star Ibrahimovic said proudly, "This is my best season in the Champions League!" ”
For example, after miraculously reversing Olympiacos to break into the last eight of the Champions League, the Manchester United manager David Moyes, who was in tears, showed his pride, "Manchester United has the strength to win the Champions League!" ”
……
Looking at these tidbits, Borussia Dortmund's players are also discussing possible matchups.
"I think it's better to run into Manchester United." Aubameyang said.
"Why?" Gundogan retorted, "Paris is not bad, either." ”
The two then debated whether David Moyes's Manchester United side would be the best bully or whether Paris would be weaker.
Jiang Chenxi was amused, "Are we so proud that we think Manchester United is easy to bully now?" ”
Manchester United, as the top giant in the Premier League, this team can be said to have the best European record among the Premier League giants, and it is very difficult to deal with.
"The Greeks could have almost killed Manchester United." Mkhitaryan said.
Jiang Chenxi was slightly stunned, but also smiled, this is true, the Manchester United team under Moyes can be said to be the best 'bully' among the other seven teams that have entered the quarterfinals......
……
At this time, the draw for the quarterfinals has begun.
The draw was made by Portuguese star Rui Costa who drew Real Madrid first.
This made Jiang Chenxi and the others breathless, no one wanted to touch Real Madrid, unless it was the final that they couldn't dodge.
Subsequently, UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino touched another sign and showed it to the audience: Bayern Munich!
"Well done!"
"Oh yes!"
Dortmund cheered and some whistled, this is a great match, let Bayern and Real Madrid fight it.
The camera was written by Real Madrid president Florentino and Bayern Munich boss Hoenest, the former with a serious expression, and the latter a little helpless.
At this moment, in a luxury villa in Madrid, Ronaldo also showed an excited expression, no matter who the opponent was, he could not stop him from scoring and leading the team forward.
For Rowe, an opportunity to make history is on the horizon and he will not allow any team to stop him. He has scored one goal in seven Champions League games so far this season, and the most goals scored in a single season in the history of the Champions League is 14, with Milan striker Altafini from 1962/196 and Barcelona Lionel Messi from 2011/2012.
……
Figo then drew a draw and showed it to the audience: Barcelona!
The live broadcast is also very interesting, and immediately gave a close-up of the other five clubs that have not yet been drawn out of the scene: In the past two years, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich have been considered to be superior to other teams, and no one wants to meet these three teams, and the strength of these three teams can be seen from their records in the Champions League in recent years.
Among them, Barcelona has broken into the quarterfinals of the Champions League for 7 consecutive years. Since the 2010/2011 season when Jose Mourinho was coached, Real Madrid has changed from "Huang Shilang" to "Huang Shilang", breaking into the quarterfinals of the Champions League for four consecutive years, and previously setting a miracle of reaching the top four of the Champions League for two consecutive years. Bayern came out on top in a love-and-match match with Schalke 04 and eventually reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for consecutive years.
Real Madrid and Bayern have just been drawn together, and only Barcelona is left, who would have such bad luck?
Infantino smiled and pulled out the next sign and showed it to the audience: Atletico Madrid!
There was a burst of laughter, which was the laughter of the club personnel who avoided Barcelona. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Real Sajen (so scary) have all been pumped out, a good thing, a great thing!
Since the draw for the last 8 of the Champions League does not circumvent the principle, everyone is looking forward to which league will be the first to stage a civil war? Now the answer is out, it is La Liga with the top three, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid meet in advance, which is also an extension of the two teams' La Liga championship line.
The two teams met in the Spanish Super Cup at the beginning of this season, with Barcelona winning the title on away goals after two consecutive draws. At present, in La Liga, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are only 1 point apart, and they are still competing for the title. The Champions League draw together means a total of six meetings this season. In the past, the two teams were friendly because they both hated Real Madrid, but this season, they fought for honor and faced each other, and they became new enemies.
……
The Dortmund players in front of the TV were cheering and whistling again.
Now, the remaining four teams are Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, which, to put it mildly, can almost be said to be a rookie pecking at each other. Of course, the media will think so, and Jiang Chenxi and others will not think so.
However, there is one thing they have to admit, they are excited at this moment, after all, compared to 'Real Sarena', whether it is Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, or Manchester United, they are now slightly inferior and more manageable.
Figo has once again made a sign, and it is Paris Saint-Germain.
Subsequently, Infantino also showed the signing he had touched: Chelsea!
There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and it was an interesting match, as Chelsea set a precedent for European football to spend heavily on people, and it was Paris Saint-Germain who took that strategy to the extreme. In the past three years, Paris has invested nearly 500 million euros in recruitment, and all positions are the world's top stars; This is a collision of old and new tyrants.
The camera caught a faint smile on the face of Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.
……
In front of the TV, the Dortmund players erupted in cheers and whistles, and now, although there are still two signings to be drawn, the results are already clear, and the remaining two goals are Dortmund and Manchester United, who will meet in the quarter-finals.
On TV, Figo and Infantino also drew the last two signings in turn, Dortmund vs Manchester United!
Royce even hugged Aubameyang excitedly and kissed him, "Pierre, you are simply a prophet!" ”
The rest of the crowd was also excited, and even Gundogan, who thought Paris was weaker, had to admit that Manchester United were a good opponent.
Jiang Chenxi covered her stomach and laughed, you are so excited, you don't want to give Manchester United face, Manchester United wants to beat people when they know it, right...... That's not good.
At this time, in the TV picture, I don't know what the purpose is, German TV 2 once again broadcast the miraculous reversal of Olympiacos to break into the Champions League top 8, the excited and tearful Manchester United coach Moyes shouted to the camera lens, "Manchester United has the strength to win the Champions League!" Video footage.
Looking at the Manchester United manager on TV who cried with joy because the team staged a big reversal and announced that he was aiming for the Champions League winner, the corners of Jiang Chenxi's mouth in front of the TV raised a curvature...... A smile of meaning was revealed......
Mr. Moyes, please take care of us for this first time.
