Chapter 289: Europa League round of 16 draw
Real Madrid is the cancer of European football, and even if not, it is the cancer of world football.
Zolke thought so.
However, fortunately, Gu Zhen and Klopp both chose Dortmund, which made him feel a lot better. However, it is obvious that after the end of this season, Dortmund will definitely have to bleed a lot if they want to keep Gu Zhen.
Otherwise, they Dortmund really couldn't keep Gu Zhen.
Zorke wants to discuss it with Watzke to see how to keep Gu Zhen.
And Gu Zhen and Klopp naturally flew to Nyon, Switzerland, and UEFA headquarters to participate in the draw ceremony for the knockout round of 16 of this season's Europa League.
Yes, at this time, the round of 16 of this season's Europa League has all been born.

There were still some upsets in this Europa League, and the biggest upset was that Italy's giants Roma lost to Greece's Panathinaikos, which was unexpected by many people.
This season's Europa League round of 16 is currently the most teams in the Bundesliga, and there are three teams in the Bundesliga that have qualified, and then La Liga, the Premier League, the Portuguese Super League, the Belgian League, and the French Ligue 1
It was made up of two teams that qualified, one from the Russian Premier League, one from the Greek Super League and one from Serie A.
Therefore, the Europa League or the Bundesliga is more powerful.
Of course, everyone understands the fact that Serie A has really declined, and only one Juventus has advanced to the round of 16 of the Europa League so far, which is really a bit bad.
At this time, the German media is naturally very happy, which is what they are most happy to see, which shows that the competitiveness of the Bundesliga is gradually strengthening, and it has a pivotal position in the top five European leagues, and the German media is naturally very proud.
At this time, everyone is hotly discussing the round of 16.
The German media also felt very sorry that Hertha Berlin made a mistake in the knockout round of 32, and they lost to Benfica 1-5 on aggregate, which they did not expect.
Although Hertha Berlin had a terrible season in the Bundesliga, they were able to put all their attention on the Europa League.
Unfortunately, after the start of the second half of the season, Hertha Berlin knew that the relegation situation was very serious. So they are gradually putting the focus of the game back to the league, and they are ready to go all out to avoid relegation. Therefore, when they played against Benfica away this time, they had such a big problem, losing 0-4 to Benfica away and missing the Europa League round of 16.
In fact, they still have some strength, and they should be able to beat Benfica.
Unfortunately, Hertha Berlin was lost to themselves.
If Hertha Berlin still pays full attention to the Europa League, there will be four German teams that will advance to the last 16 of the Europa League this time, so the Bundesliga will simply win the Europa League.
It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity!
Yes, German journalists think so, they feel that Hertha Berlin is a little unfigured, or that their club is really too small to spend too much money to increase the depth of the bench, so the current result is caused.
The result was very bitter for Hertha Berlin!
Not only did they not get the results they wanted in the Europa League, but they also made their league results so bad that they couldn't even be relegated this season, and they will have to go to the Bundesliga next season to relegate!
Naturally, the fans of Hertha Berlin felt very disappointed and unhappy.
I knew that this would be the result of fighting for the Europa League, so why did you insist on going your own way and frantically attacking the Europa League?
The Europa League title is really not something they can get Hertha Berlin!
All Hertha BSB fans know that this is a mistake in the decision-making of the club's top management, which has led to Hertha Berlin falling into the current passive situation, and may never even be able to turn around.
Of course, Chinese fans are naturally very distressed about Zhang Ningpeng, Zhang Ningpeng has just been to Hertha Berlin not long ago, Hertha Berlin was not only eliminated in the Europa League, but also fell into the relegation war, and even the hope of relegation is very slim.
Now Zhang Ningpeng should be going to play in the German Second League!
At the draw ceremony for the round of 16 of the European Cup, Gu Zhenshi was interviewed by media reporters, and these Chinese reporters asked about Zhang Ningpeng.
Gu Zhen said: "I think it's too early to talk about Hertha Berlin's relegation, after all, the Bundesliga is not over yet, and no one knows what the final result will be?" You know, last season Hertha Berlin
The performance is outstanding! ”
The reporters are all slightly bowed, and last season's Hertha Berlin really made everyone's eyes shine. But this season is different, Hertha Berlin is ruined by itself.
Gu Zhen also said: "As for Dapeng, I don't think we should think about anything about Deyi now." Now he should perform well, take out all his strength, help the team to avoid relegation, and try to stay in the Bundesliga, which is the best result! ”
Media reporters asked Gu Zhen: "So are you optimistic about Hertha Berlin's relegation?" ”
Gu Zhen gasped, and then said, "I don't know about this matter. Whether Hertha Berlin can be relegated or not, it's not up to me to decide. It's that they have the final say, and if they work hard in place, I believe they can be relegated! ”
Then Gu Zhen didn't answer this question anymore.
Media reporters have also shifted the focus of the conversation to the upcoming Europa League round of 16 draw ceremony. At this time, the draw naturally still has the principle of avoidance, so the three teams in the Bundesliga should still not be able to meet, and the media reporters are asking Gu Zhen which opponent he would prefer to draw?
Gu Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "Obviously, Juventus, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid and other teams ......"
The media reporters were all shocked in their hearts, is this guy Gu Zhen crazy? Do Borussia Dortmund want to draw these European champions in a streak of deaths? Is Dortmund alive or not?
Gu Zhen saw the reactions of these media reporters, and he smiled and said, "We naturally don't want to encounter these strong teams now." As long as it's not them, it's actually very good, our Dortmund strength is still there, we are confident to defeat our opponents! ”
Hearing this, the media reporters suddenly realized that they were tricked by Gu Zhen!
But that's right, Gu Zhen definitely doesn't want to run into these strong teams. In fact, only these strong teams can make an impression on them, and the other teams Dortmund should be sure to win!
However, the German media still hope that Dortmund will meet some weaker teams, so that it will be much easier for Dortmund to advance to the quarter-finals or even the semi-finals.
Yes, the German media is full of confidence in Dortmund.
They believe that Dortmund are one of the favourites to win the Europa League this season, and of course Dortmund is in the eyes of more media reporters and some European bloggers. It seems that the lottery company will still be inferior to the likes of Juventus, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.
However, Dortmund's odds to win the title are also in the top four, which is still very powerful.
However, for Dortmund fans, they believe that Dortmund have the best chance of winning the title this season, and they are the winners of this season's Europa League.
Now Gu Zhen and Klopp are sitting on the scene, quietly watching the changes on the stage, and they are calmly waiting for the results of the lottery to appear.
Whatever the outcome is acceptable, Klopp thought.
And Gu Zhen is staring at Juventus, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid. Although Dortmund can beat these teams, there is no need to meet them now, these teams should stay behind, or even be eliminated by other teams, so that their chances of winning the championship will be much greater.
We are not afraid of Juventus, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, but there is no need to meet them now.
At this time, the eyes of all the head coaches on the scene fell on the stage, they were all watching the progress of the draw ceremony, they all wanted to know who their next opponent was?
