A day after Cristiano Ronaldo won his third Ballon d'Or, UEFA held the draw for the knockout rounds of the Champions League at its headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Despite all the attention, the ceremony was actually very simple, from start to finish in less than half an hour, and most of the club's head coaches and player representatives did not attend, only one or two management staff members were sent to make up the numbers.

The draw took place at 7 p.m. in China and noon in the UK.

The Liverpool players, who had just finished their morning training, watched the live broadcast while changing clothes and eating fruit in the dressing room.

Ronshette also asked Gerald in passing:

"Steven, which opponent do you want to meet?"

Gerald's face was full of a relaxed smile:

"The stronger, the better, isn't it?"

Long Shute laughed:

"Real Madrid, Bayern, Grand Paris, you pick one, right?"

-

Hearing this laughter, Rogerston felt his heart almost jump out of his mouth......

Although he has been with the dragon boss for a year and a half, when he encounters an emergency, the essence of the little cowardly is still exposed.

On the contrary, Liverpool's players, after hearing the conversation between Lonshette and Gerrard, not only did not have any fear, but they were gearing up one by one.

"I'm looking forward to fighting Ramos for the header!"

This is the Red Army's air tyrant Bentek.

"I'm looking forward to ravaging Benzema!"

This is French defender Nicolas Sarco.

"I'm going to teach Neymar how to be a man!"

This positive and cheerful guy must be Lovren, who is gradually coming out of the shadow of the green hat......

-

"After six rounds of group stage matches, there are only 16 teams left in the Champions League, and they have been divided into two pots based on group points......

After the promotion of former secretary general Gianni Infantino, there was no new person to replace him, so his former partner, UEFA's sporting head Marchetti, continued to be in charge of the draw.

With his introduction, the teams that emerged from the group stage and the rankings were displayed on the big screen in turn:

Group A: Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain.

Group B: Napoli, Leicester City.

Group C: Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur.

Group D: Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich.

Group E: Monaco, Bayer Leverkusen.

Group F: Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid.

Group G: Liverpool, Porto.

Group H: Juventus, Sevilla.

Traditional giants such as Paris, Bayern and Real Madrid unexpectedly relegated to second place, which also left a foreshadowing for a possible strong showdown.

As Lonshit and Gerrard said, Liverpool are in hot form now, they are not afraid of any opponent, and they are even very much looking forward to meeting top teams such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern and Juventus as soon as possible to win the title with the most convincing results.

But the result of the draw was a little disappointing for them:

Ancelotti's old club and the only opponent he doesn't want to meet – Bayern Munich was drawn by Arsenal, Carlo Ancelotti must have been happy, and Arsene Wenger could concentrate on preparing for a top-four retention.

Paris was drawn by Barcelona, and Neymar will turn against his former teammates, which is not a small attraction.

Real Madrid also failed to meet Liverpool, with the defending champions drawn to Napoli and Real Madrid's general manager, Jose Sanchez, looking unconcerned.

Dort's encounter with Tottenham was another two-legged collision of passions.

Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen have met narrowly, and Atletico Madrid, who have been in excellent form in recent years, have almost secured a place in the quarter-finals.

Monaco met Leicester City, the weakest group leader met the weakest group second, and the rookies were recognized as pecking each other......

Group G and Group H are free to match:

Juventus vs Porto, while Liverpool's opponents ...... Exactly Seville!

-

"Garbage UEFA!"

"I'm going to fight Real Madrid!"

"I'm going to fight Bayern!"

"I'm going to teach Neymar a lesson!"

"I'm going to compete with the Plum Ball King!"

When the final draw results were seen, a strong resentment erupted in Liverpool's dressing room.

Rogers patted his chest happily:

"Sevilla is also a strong enemy, after all, we also spent a lot of effort to kill them in the Europa League, this time we must kill them convincingly!"

-

December 19, the 16th round of the Premier League.

There was nothing special about this round, with five goals and one pass as Liverpool swept Middlesbrough 8-0 away.

After the game, the whole team of Liverpool FC was invited to the Christmas party in the team.

Christmas 2016 was a bigger and more diverse event than a year ago, with the club even inviting 100 die-hard fans from around the world to the event.

Liverpool even sold the exclusive broadcast rights of the banquet to a certain video website, plus some sponsorships, and made a small profit of hundreds of thousands of pounds, and easily recovered the cost of the banquet......

"Dragon," Gerrard said, holding up his goblet in his hand, "thank you for all you have done for this club." ”

Long Shute smiled and raised his glass, and touched the old captain lightly:

"Thank you for finally accepting my invitation, Steven."

Reflecting the wine in the glass, Gerald's gaze seemed to ripple:

"It's me who should say thank you......"

-

“UNBELIEVABLE！ SIX-NIL！ Unbelievable! 6-0！ Liverpool beat Everton by six goals cleanly away from home! Known as the fiercest Merseyside derby in the UK, it ended with a landslide victory for the Red Army! ”

"Long Shute is once again a hero of the Red Army! Four balls and one pass! If it weren't for the terrible shooting skills of Salah and Mane, the Toffees might have even conceded ten goals! ”

“UNSTOPPABLE！ Unstoppable! Back at home, Liverpool once again staged a carnage to their own fans at Anfield! 7-1！ Stoke City should probably rejoice, because they are in a devilish hell like Anfield...... And even scored a goal! ”

"On the first night after Christmas, Ronshette seemed to have a little weakness in his legs, maybe it was his Emma Witch who was overwhelming him? After 90 minutes, the all-powerful Lonsette had just three goals and two assists, which for the most demanding critics would only have lowered his average of 5.34 goals per game......

……

In the two league games around Christmas, Liverpool, who have made extensive changes, have still won comfortably without any doubt, with neither Everton nor Stoke City able to stop their progress.

But perhaps, as Gary Lineker said, Emma Watson, who is back on holiday in the UK, seems to have really affected Ronsert's goalscoring efficiency, anyway...... His average number of goals per game has plummeted from 5.34 to 5.27, and if the national team's statistics are included, it has fallen from 5.18 to 5.06, and it looks like he is about to fall below his average of 5 goals per game!

It's just too dangerous!

Ronshette vowed to defend his stats of averaging five goals per game, so he boured his spirits and prepared for his next opponent.

On 31 December, the last day of 2016, Anfield will host its 19th league opponent.

The blue moon of the current third place in the league and the number one coach in the world, Josep Guardiola, Manchester City.

This is not a rookie suitable for smashing points!
