Chapter 347: The draw turned out to be very bad
March 15, 2012 at 7 p.m., UEFA headquarters, Nyon, Switzerland, the scene of the Champions League draw.
UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino took the podium to the accompaniment of passionate music.
There was thunderous applause from the audience!
Infantino smiled and greeted everyone: "Hello guests and fans in front of the TV! Welcome to the draw for the quarter-finals of the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League, I'm Infantino as you know it! β
Gu Zhen applauded wildly, this guy on the stage is too capable of pretending.
When Infantino came to the stage, he immediately said: "The team that reached the quarterfinals this season has been born, and they are now on the big screen behind me. Now let's take a look at these eight heroes through the big screen! β
Suddenly, the lights on the scene dimmed, and the wonderful performance of these eight teams in the first round of the knockout round was played on the big screen, which made the people in the audience watch it very seriously and carefully.
Gu Zhen also looked at it carefully, and he said to Klopp: "Sure enough, the Greeks are about to come to an end, and their strength is still a little worse!" β
Klopp also bowed slightly, agreeing with Gu Zhen's statement.
This time he really hoped that Dortmund would be lucky enough to draw the team from Cyprus.
Of course, there were many people who thought the same way as them.
This is really a wolf with more meat and less meat!
Infantino on the stage said: "This time there is a big dark horse in the quarterfinals, they actually advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the first time, which is really amazing. I can see that they are very strong, I wonder if he can continue to play the role of a dark horse in the quarter-finals and reach the final four? β
The Greeks naturally hoped that they would be able to work miracles, but they also knew that it would be very difficult, because no matter who their opponent was, it was very strong, very difficult.
The Greeks are now at the mercy of fate.
At this time, Infantino also said: "Of course, there is one more person worth mentioning in this quarter-final, and that is Messi of Barcelona. He is in very good shape, and in the second leg of the quarterfinals that has just ended, he is a one-man winner of five yuan, and his strength is too strong! β
Gu Zhendu gasped, Messi is amazing!
Infantino added: "Obviously, Messi is aiming for the Champions League, they lost it last season, and this season they are more urgent. So, who wants to face a hungry Barcelona? β
At this time, there really aren't any teams willing to face Barcelona.
Even Gu Zhen didn't want to meet Barcelona at this time, if he could, Gu Zhen hoped that they would meet Barcelona again in the final. Because at that time, all the games are over, there are no bonds, and they will be able to play against Barcelona with all their might.
If Barcelona is drawn at this time, the impact on the league will be very great!
Gu Zhenxinzong said: "Don't be Barcelona!" β
Many people's eyes at the scene were focused on Messi, and Messi did smile shyly, looking a little embarrassed.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo's face is not very good!
It's clear that the Portuguese superstar is on fire and is aiming for the Champions League title this season. Moreover, Cristiano Ronaldo is convinced that Real Madrid can win this title!
This time, he will definitely defeat Messi and Gu Zhen!
This year's Mr. Golden Globe must belong to him Cristiano Ronaldo!
The lottery hasn't started yet, and the atmosphere at the scene is already tense. Infantino is really something, and now everyone is looking forward to the lottery ceremony to start quickly!
Infantino smiled and said: "Now we have invited the draw guests for the UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony, please watch the big screen!" β
Yes, a VCR was also made for the draw guests, detailing the past and glory of the football legend. Then the football legend from the country where the final was played was on the podium and was greeted with thunderous applause.
The guest of honour for this draw is from Germany, and he is Paul Breitner.
Breitner is also an ambassador for this season's Champions League final, so he's in for the final draw of the season.
Seeing this person on stage, the people at the scene were nervous.
It's finally coming!
The draw for the quarter-finals of the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League season is really about to begin, and the most important part is finally coming!
Gu Zhen's eyes were also staring closely at the two people on the stage, they were really going to start the draw for the quarterfinals of this season's UEFA Champions League, very nervous and exciting.
At this time, the people on the stage are starting to get busy, and the lottery is about to begin!
Infantino was in charge of drawing the team, while Breitner was in charge of drawing places, and the two joined forces to complete the draw ceremony.
Suddenly, Klopp turned around again and asked Gu Zhen: "Let me ask you again, who do you think we Dortmund will draw?" β
Gu Zhen was slightly stunned, he didn't expect it. It seems that Klopp is also very nervous, otherwise he would not be so abnormal. He was stunned for a moment, and then said directly: "I still think we can draw the Greeks to compete, we are very lucky!" β
Klopp stared at Gu Zhen tightly for a while before he said, "I believe in you!" β
At this time, Infantino on the stage pronounced the name of the first team drawn in his hand: "The first to be drawn is - Atletico Greek, from Cyprus!" β
Wow, whoa!
The audience was in an uproar, everyone praised it Oh, it was really surprising to think that the Greek Athletic was the first to be drawn, and this dark horse was the first to be drawn, which was really amazing. Of course, at this time, the other seven wolves in the audience were all staring at the Greeks with green eyes, because they all wanted to become the opponents of the Greeks!
At this time, Breitner unfolded the piece of paper in his hand and read: "The position of the Greeks is - A1!" β
This result made many people stunned, which is too coincidental!
AtlΓ©tico Greeks were the first to be drawn and were drawn to the number one position in the top half of the bracket, which was really a coincidence, it felt like it was arranged. At this time, many reporters have words such as "shady" and "black-box operation" in their minds!
The coaches of the Greeks Amatelio are starting to get nervous, who will they draw?
Obviously, AtlΓ©tico Greeks want to draw Marseille in Ligue 1 the most, because this team is the best team to play, and they want to be Marseille!
Then all eyes in the audience were glued to Infantino. For he had drawn the second ball, unscrewed it, and took out the piece of paper inside, which he slowly opened.
Many people at the scene were holding their breath, and they were really very nervous!
At this moment, Infantino read out loud: "The second club to be drawn out is Chelsea, from England!" β
Chelsea was pulled out, and many people were stunned and nervous.
Gu Zhen's eyes widened even more, and he muttered in his heart: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?" It can't be such a coincidence, right? Chelsea are not going to go to A2 to face the Greeks, right? β
The others all had the same idea as Gu Zhen, and they were all nervous.
Of course, the coaches of Atletico Greeks are also nervous, they don't want to touch Chelsea. Chelsea, on the other hand, are very willing to draw Atletico Greek, and they want them to go to A2 against Atletico Greek.
Even many Chelsea fans were expecting, with their hands on their chests and praying frantically.
Here, Breitner had unscrewed the ball he had drawn, took out the piece of paper, and slowly unfolded it. Everyone in the audience felt like their hearts were about to go into arrest, and they were very nervous!
Breitner read aloud: "Chelsea is in C2!"
The Chelsea were disappointed that they had gone to the bottom half of the table and were completely out of touch with the Greeks. The other coaches were relieved, but fortunately this weak team was still there, and it was left to them. The head coach of Atletico Greeks is also relieved, they still have a chance to draw Marseille!
Next is the third team, Infantino immediately pulled out, instantly unfolded, and read out: "The third team to be drawn out is - Barcelona, from Spain!" β
Wow, the scene was full of exclamations again!
A big demon like Barcelona was actually pulled out, and everyone in the audience became nervous. Of course, the most nervous are the people of Atletico Greece and Chelsea, who don't want to draw Barcelona!
At this moment, Breitner read aloud: "Barcelona is located - D2!" β
Barcelona was also drawn to the bottom half, and the Greeks were completely relaxed, but fortunately they were not drawn. The Chelsea are frowning, which means that if they reach the semi-finals, they are likely to meet Barcelona, which is dangerous!
Then Infantino moved very fast and immediately drew the fourth team, and he read aloud: "The fourth team to be drawn is AC Milan, from Italy!" β
This team is still very good, and I don't want to meet despite the Greeks.
Breitner immediately exclaimed: "The position of the AC Milan is - D1!" β
AC Milan's face collapsed in an instant, this signing is really Taipei, it's too rubbish, they are on Barcelona!
Everyone else is relieved, the Barcelona mine has been discharged!
Infantino said directly: "The fifth team to be drawn is - Dortmund, from Germany!" β
Gu Zhen and Klopp became nervous instantly, but they were still full of expectations, and this time it was very likely that they would be drawn to the Greeks to compete
German predecessor Breitner, now rely on your golden hand!
Then Breitner read it out loud: "Dortmund is located - C1!" β
Gu Zhen and Klopp were speechless for a moment, and their faces were a little ugly.
Borussia Dortmund were drawn to the bottom half of the table against Chelsea. This Chelsea team is not easy to play, this will definitely affect the results of the Bundesliga!
Very speechless, very speechless.
After that, Klopp and Gu Zhen didn't pay much attention to the lottery, who won the Greeks in the lottery of Aitama had nothing to do with them anyway, they didn't care.
The sixth team was drawn out of Bayern Munich, and they were drawn to the B2 position, and the suspense was left to the end. Maas became the seventh team to be drawn out, and Bratner did not let the Hellenists get their wish, and Marseille moved to the B1 position, where they faced Bayern Munich.
Therefore, Aletico Greeks finally faced Real Madrid and directly announced the death penalty.
