"Schalke!" Marchetti pronounced his name on the sign.

"Oye!"

"Awesome!"

Raheem Sterling, Mohamed Salah and others high-fived each other in celebration, and it was a great draw result, although Schalke 04 was not a fish belly, but, relatively speaking, this Bundesliga team was definitely the weakest team Liverpool could face.

Only Balotelli is a little depressed, the Shakhtar Donetsk he was looking forward to is gone, playing in the war-torn Ukraine, you can see the artillery fire in the distance when you look up, this experience is exciting just thinking about it, but it's a pity that Liverpool didn't draw Shakhtar Donetsk.

Jiang Chenxi glanced at the depressed Balotelli, and didn't bother to pay attention to this guy.

In fact, neither Jiang Chenxi nor Balotelli knew that because Donetsk has become a war zone, the home games of Shakhtar Donetsk will be played in Lviv, and the visiting team does not have to worry about the security of Ukraine at all.

……

The draw continues.

Arsenal drew Monaco in Ligue 1, Arsenal as the second in the group, drew the weakest group first, this luck is indeed quite good, I believe that at this moment, sitting in front of the TV to watch the draw Wenger will have a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

Kahn has drawn Shakhtar Donetsk to his former club Bayern Munich, which is a good sign when security is no longer an issue.

At this time, only Manchester City and Barcelona are left among the 16 teams in the round of 16, which means that even if the final draw has not yet been drawn, everyone knows that these two teams will meet in the quarterfinals, and the camera can capture the bitter smile on the face of the Manchester City representative.

Since the 2011/2012 season, Manchester City have played in the Champions League for four consecutive seasons: in the first year, Manchester City finished third in the group stage and moved to the Europa League; In the 2012/2013 season, Manchester City did not perform as well as last season, and they ended up bottom of the group; In the 2013/2014 season and last season, Manchester City, which entered the knockout round of the Champions League for the first time, met the powerful Barcelona in the first round of the knockout round, and finally the blue moon was killed by Barcelona over two legs, with a total score of 1-4.

Jiang Chenxi and his friends also discussed a lot, and they gloated: Why is it always Blue Moon who is injured, is it also a sin to be rich?

So far, the draw for the quarter-finals of the 2014/2015 Champions League has been fully revealed:

PSG (Paris Saint-Germain) vs Chelsea; Manchester City vs Barcelona; Bayer Leverkusen vs Atletico Madrid; Juventus vs Borussia Dortmund; Schalke 04 VS Liverpool; Shakhtar Donetsk vs Bayern Munich; Arsenal vs Monaco; Real Madrid vs Porto.

……

The draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League has been announced, and the English media is also talking about the signing of the Premier League giants.

The general view in the media is that Arsenal drawn to Monaco has the best luck, Liverpool who drew Schalke 04 is also lucky, and Chelsea who drew to Paris is relatively unlucky, and Manchester City who drew Barcelona is really bad.

Famous journalist David. In his column, Smith breaks down the prospects for four Premier League teams:

For Chelsea, previously, the magic bird had a theory that "if you want to go far, you want to draw a weak team, if you want to win the championship, you have to draw a strong team", this time he claimed to win Paris before the draw, and now, Mourinho got his wish.

Manchester City met Barcelona again, for Manchester City, which was suppressed by Chelsea and Liverpool in the league and injured another round of the central axis, the chances are actually very slim, but what is even more slim is that they also have a manager who is weak as soon as he arrives in the Champions League. Manchester City's discipline has always been a dead end for the team, so they often rely on the stars to decide the game, rather than as a team. This is the reason why they are obviously stronger than Chelsea and Liverpool, but they are suppressed by Chelsea and Liverpool in the league, and it is also the reason why they are always winless against the giants.

In this regard, Smith believes that to fight the strong with the weak is to rely on the ability to defend and run to the death of the team to win. If Manchester City still can't learn this, then they still have no chance of winning against Barcelona.

It is worth mentioning that unlike almost most of the media who think that Arsenal has drawn a big package, the famous advocate of Jiang Chenxi is not optimistic about Arsenal, Smith believes that Wenger's tactical concept has not been updated for too long, and in the Champions League, where the tactical concept is becoming more and more diverse, Arsenal is really thoroughly studied, if it is not for Monaco's limited attacking power, but Monaco is more likely to advance.

……

As for the collision between Liverpool and Schalke 04, Smith is worthy of Jiang Chenxi's number one 'dogleg', and bluntly said that this is the most suspenseful game in the top 16:

One of the best strikers in today's football + two powerful wing flashpoints + a talented Brazilian midfielder + Klopp's bloody passion and team spirit, such a Liverpool is really terrifying.

"Now this Liverpool team still has weaknesses, but Liverpool with weaknesses is not something Schalke can knock down, for Schalke, if you can play 15 people, you may have a chance to win.... Or another possibility, if they have Jiang Chenxi......"

In the eyes of many people, Smith's praise of Chinese stars is really a bit excessive, almost kneeling and licking, which is equivalent to saying that Jiang Chenxi is on top of five people alone.

It is worth mentioning that David. Smith has now become a favourite football journalist among Liverpool fans, and even the England journalist has begun to have a following in faraway China.

……

A day later.

Fettness. Frost Field.

In the 2014/2015 English League Cup quarter-finals, Liverpool beat Bournemouth 4-1 away to reach the semi-finals of the League Cup.

Chinese star Jiang Chenxi played for about an hour in the game, scoring two goals and coming off the bench with a stunning performance from Bolini, who made it four to one with a pass and a shot.

The next day, December 18, 2014, the media focus was not on Liverpool's promotion to the last four of the League Cup, but on the annual selection of the best in international football by the authoritative British magazine World Football.

Liverpool's Chinese star Jiang Chenxi beat Real Madrid's Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo to win the title of World Player of the Year, with Cristiano Ronaldo in second and Messi in third. In the Best Manager category, German national team coach Loew was named the best of the best, and the German national team was named Player of the Year.

Of course, in the eyes of fans and viewers around the world, the most unimportant and most sensational and huge heated discussion is that Jiang Chenxi defeated Messi and Ronaldo and won the World Player of the Year!

This is the first time that after the end of the Kaka era, Ronaldo and Messi have dominated football for 7 years, and someone has defeated the peerless duo head-on!

Public opinion is boiling.
