Chapter 412: The Great Shock Caused by Gambling
The discussion in the audience lasted for three minutes, and the hostess was embarrassed and couldn't continue.
The fans in front of the TV don't think much, at most they suspect that the Champions League draw has an insider, but the people on the scene are different, they are all from various clubs, representing the club to participate in the draw, and there are many interests first.
For example, Manchester United in Barcelona.
The hostess on the stage talked about Inter Milan, and after a turn, it became Barcelona, which made Ferguson have an urge to vomit blood, Manchester United may meet three teams, Barcelona is the most difficult to deal with, when the host shouted Inter Milan, he also felt that Inter Milan was better than Barcelona.
But...... Mispronounced?
In the history of the Champions League draw, there has never been a case of the host pronouncing the wrong team's name, but this is a live broadcast in front of the world's fans, and if the host makes such a mistake, it will definitely have a huge impact on his career.
Also, how can you mispronounce it?
Inter Milan and Barcelona are two completely different words, how can 'Barcelona' deviate, and you can't pronounce 'Inter Milan', right? I'm afraid that the host has long felt that Manchester United met Inter Milan? But in the end, it was Barcelona that ran into it?
Ferguson hopes the other way around.
The head coaches, presidents, managers of the clubs, as well as the football celebrities who were invited, but no matter what the discipline of the venue, everyone was discussing this matter, and anyone with a discerning eye could think of a possibility: the host knew the results of the draw for Manchester United in advance.
It's just possible, not 100 percent, but the odds are still very high, otherwise how could Barcelona and Inter Milan be mispronounced?
How did the moderator know?
Could it be that the results of the matchup have been decided since the draw has not even begun?
Many people think deeply, it's too big.
In fact, there are some insider situations in the Champions League draw, which everyone can accept, there are many rumors from the outside world, and there are many statements about various situations, but if it is made public, it will be different.
It's sure to be a big deal!
In the end, Manchester United faced Barcelona, Bayern Munich faced Lille, and Inter Milan were lucky enough to meet Sporting Lisbon, who were the worst in the group.
A lot of people don't care about the outcome anymore.
After the draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League, one by one the head coaches, chairmen, and managers were interviewed, and the presidents and managers of the clubs were better, and they still had to pay attention to what they said, otherwise they would be very difficult to be targeted by UEFA.
The managers have much less scruples!
The managers don't care much about UEFA's targeting, many of them plan to leave the team at the end of the season and change to another team, and the Champions League draw is out, and it doesn't matter what they say, as long as they don't give UEFA a reason to penalize.
All sorts of skepticism have emerged--
"I really don't understand why anyone would think of Barcelona as Inter Milan, the two names are not even written in the same format."
"Maybe it's a mistake? Yes, maybe ......"
"The draw should be fair and I believe in the final result." Ferguson said this angrily, but the sarcasm on his face was on the outside.
Mourinho said: "It's strange that we ran into Porto again, for three seasons we have either met Barcelona or Porto. ”
Even AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti couldn't help but say, "Maybe the sports sponsors are going to be disappointed." A civil war broke out with Nike. ”
Ancelotti's words were the finishing touch.
Ancelotti not only metaphorically said that 'there may be an inside story in the draw', but also mentioned the unspoken rules of the Champions League group draw - every year in the round of 16 draw, there will be sponsor confrontation, and the focus of the round of 16 will always appear in the battle between Adi and Nike.
The result of this draw must have disappointed Nike.
Barcelona and Manchester United are both 'Nike' teams, and when the two teams meet, it is the civil war of the Nike team, and the focus of the battle between Adi and Nike seems to have become 'Real Madrid vs. Millwall'?
This matchup gimmick is a little smaller.
In addition, Ancelotti's words, carefully analyzed, also implied that 'there was a mistake in the UEFA draw ceremony', UEFA definitely does not want the sponsors to be disappointed, they should arrange a big battle between Adi and Nike, maybe they think so, when Manchester United draws, the female host will break out the name of Inter Milan.
The confrontation between Manchester United and Inter Milan will certainly not be a 'focus battle', and among the remaining teams, Bayern and Barcelona have a good chance of meeting each other.
The conclusion is obvious!
After Ancelotti was interviewed, the reporters all made up the situation, and they also felt that it must be the truth - UEFA planned to let Barcelona and Bayern Munich meet together, but I don't know what happened, the guests pulled Barcelona out in advance, and the hostess thought that Manchester United drew Inter Milan.
Manchester United lying down shot!
Bayern Munich skips a catastrophe and doesn't have to fight Barcelona!
Barcelona are still bleak because Manchester United and Bayern Munich are very difficult teams to play against.

Zhang Yang didn't know that the reporters had analyzed so many connotations, and at that time he just wanted to use gambling to make some trouble for Barcelona.
Wilkinson is to blame.
Wilkinson said that UEFA considered putting strong attacking teams on the table to increase the attractiveness of the Champions League game, and Zhang Yang felt that Barcelona would be taken care of, so he used gambling to find a strong team for them.
This is revenge for Millwall's draw to Real Madrid!
After the draw ceremony, Wenger's Arsenal team and Millwall's three groups of people had a brief analysis together, and he found that things were probably different from what he imagined.
Barcelona is not being taken care of because of the good looks of attacking football?
The above is all personal speculation, and no one can say what the specific situation is, except for the head of UEFA.
When he walked out of the gate of the venue, Zhang Yang also accepted an interview with reporters, he said, "Our luck is not good, and we drew Real Madrid." It was a very strong team, but it didn't matter, we just wanted to learn more from European experience and we didn't care about the outcome or defeat. ”
Later, in response to the host's mistake, Zhang Yang said with an attitude of 'absolutely nothing to do with me', "I never maliciously speculate on others, just say something wrong, who hasn't made such a mistake?" Just because she's the host? I don't think I should delve into anything. ”
"What opponents Manchester United draw has nothing to do with Millwall. It doesn't matter if they play Barcelona or against Inter Milan, it doesn't affect us. ”
'All we have to do is prepare for the game against Real Madrid.'

At the draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League, a mistake by the host caused an uproar.
The media will not let go of such an opportunity.
The hostess's resume was turned out, and some gossip was overwhelming, such as 'the story that I had to tell with a certain UEFA official', 'I relied on a certain relationship to get a job as a host', 'I once had an affair with a certain star', and the most important one was, "I may have had an affair with a certain UEFA vice president." ”
Fortunately, even if the rumors are true, the most he can do is resign and retire a little earlier to take care of his old age, but it is UEFA President Johansson who will be most affected.
Johansson is the old president of UEFA, and next year is the election year, and he needs to run for the next UEFA president with the nominated Platini.
Now it's a stain!
At this critical point in time, the Champions League draw revealed a suspicious inside story, which was definitely a major blow to Johansson's prestige.
Johansson was probably worried, he was confident of defeating Platini in the election, but less than five months before the election, the scandal suddenly appeared. Although the matter is inconclusive as a 'scandal', there must be many people who suspect that they would not have voted for themselves.
UEFA will immediately do the post-work: first, set up an investigation team to investigate the matter, so that the outside world can see the enthusiasm of UEFA's self-examination; The second is that football people stand up one by one to speak for UEFA's 'justice', refute those gossip, and fight for public opinion in the media.
Johansson also publicly apologized.

Zhang Yang didn't expect that using a 'gambling trick' to find a stronger opponent for Barcelona would cause such a big turmoil, and it was even related to next year's UEFA presidential election.
He wouldn't admit that it was about him.
After this time, Zhang Yang knew the strength of the 'supernatural ability', such as the 'gambling' ability, which was really very strong, as long as there was more than a one-third chance of the event, he could let it get the result he wanted.
The lottery in the future will also be very useful.
No matter what the inside story of the various draws, as long as the chance is more than one-third, it will be useless in the face of 'gambling'.
That's good news.
Millwall has already met Real Madrid, and UEFA will definitely not conduct a redraw, which is a slap in the face.
Zhang Yang ignored the turmoil outside and devoted himself to the team's training and games.
Two days later, the League Cup quarter-finals began.
Millwall continued to show a strong show, beating visiting Bolton Wanderers 2-0 at home.
The result is not the point.
Bolton had no chances at all throughout the game, with Millwall having 73 per cent possession, three times more than Bolton, Millwall had thirteen shots on goal and Bolton had only two of them, almost equating to no chances.
After the game, the media said, "This is not a level of competition at all!" ”
Millwall reached the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, but there was nothing to celebrate, the game was over and the team was ready to prepare for the next opponent who had to be taken seriously: Arsene Wenger's Arsenal.
