356. Voices of European football

The UEFA Champions League group stage has ended, the top 16 teams have been decided, and now everyone is most concerned about the results of the draw for the next UEFA Champions League round of 16.

During this time, the major media in Europe have been predicting the results of this draw, and there are even a lot of media who have invited a lot of football celebrities to predict the draw for the knockout round of this season's UEFA Champions League.

Among them, Pele, the most famous former football king in international football, said in an interview with a Spanish media: "In this Champions League, I am optimistic about Real Madrid, they will definitely win the UEFA Champions League championship in Zuihou." ”

Speaking of the next draw prediction for the Champions League round of 16, Pele said: "I think this Champions League round of 16 match will definitely be very good, it should be Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich, Manchester United vs. Inter Milan, Chelsea vs. AC Milan. ”

At this time, a reporter asked: "What about Liverpool?" ”

Mr. Bailey thought for a moment and then said: "I think Liverpool will definitely have good luck this time, their opponents should not be strong." ”

Mr. Pele was optimistic about Liverpool's good fortune, and these media reporters observed a moment of silence for the Liverpool team, because according to the past practice, Pele said that the player or the team must be finished.

The German media interviewed the German football emperor Beckenbauer, and Beckenbauer predicted this: "I will definitely not be too lucky with Bayern Munich this time, Stuttgart, I think the prospects are not optimistic." However, I believe that the Bundesliga teams will have a good performance on the Champions League stage. ”

The English media interviewed former England superstar Alan 61 Shearer, who said: "Of the four teams in England, I think the Gunners must have had a little better luck. Of course, what I would most like to see is David return to Old Trafford. ”

In addition to interviewing these football celebrities, the media also interviewed the stars and managers of today's football. Italy's "Milan Sport" interviewed England star David 61 Beckham, who is now playing for the Rossoneri.

David 61 Beckham said in an interview with Sport: "It stands to reason that I hope my team can meet a weak team. However, I really want to go back to Old Trafford now because I haven't played back in seven years since I left Old Trafford, so I'm expecting Manchester United. Haha, I say so, the Milan fans will not pump me! hahaha......"

Yes, David 61 David Beckham has been away from Manchester United for seven years and he has never returned to Old Trafford as a player. If the Rossoneri do draw Manchester United, it will be a nice thing to watch.

Sport also spoke to former Rossoneri manager and now Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti, who said: "To be honest, it's not easy to deal with what has been able to hold on until now. Of course, if you were to ask me who was the toughest to deal with, I would think it would be the Milan duo, especially Inter, who are very strong. ”

Inter Milan's Zanetti actually had the same idea as Carlo Ancelotti, saying in an interview with Milan Sport: "When you enter the knockout round, all the teams are very strong, and if we want to reach the final, we will definitely have to face these difficult teams sooner or later. But if I were asked which team I would most like to avoid, I think it would be Chelsea. ”

It can be seen from this that neither Inter Milan nor Chelsea want to touch each other.

At this time, England's "Mirror" interviewed Benitez, the head coach of the worst English team in the group stage of the Champions League.

Speaking to the media, Benitez said: "The teams that can win the group stage of the Champions League are very strong, we are the same as everyone against us, we only have one goal, and that is to beat the opponent. ”

Benitez's answer, of course, did not please the Mirror reporters, who asked: "If you had to name one opponent you would least want to meet, who would you choose?" Of course, it is necessary to remove the other top three in the Premier League. ”

Clearly, the Mirror reporter didn't give Benitez a chance to gag.

By this time, Benitez was embarrassed, but he thought about it for a while and then replied: "If I had to say it, I don't think I want to meet Real Madrid, everyone knows they are in the limelight, they have invested so much this summer, they must be desperate to make a difference." ”

Indeed, Real Madrid really spent more than 90 million to bring in Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, more than 60 million to introduce Kaka, and three or four thousand to bring in Benzema, as well as Xavi 61 Alonso and so on, this summer, Real Madrid only did one thing, that is, to burn money.

With such a huge cost, if Real Madrid weren't aiming for the Champions League, who the fuck would believe it?

Liverpool's manager Rafael Benitez doesn't want to meet Real Madrid, but the team's star Qiu Ze is the opposite of Ah's idea, Qiu Ze said in an interview with the Mirror: "I think it's best for our Liverpool team to meet Real Madrid, although Real Madrid has burned a lot of money in the summer, but a team can succeed if it wants to win the championship more than just burning money. ”

Qiu Ze also said: "Real Madrid now seems to be star-studded and outstanding. In fact, it is a plate of scattered sand, as long as they encounter some difficulties, it will collapse. So, I still hope that we in Liverpool can meet Real Madrid. ”

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard agreed with Qiu Ze's words in an interview with the Mirror: "I think Chris is right, Real Madrid seems to be strong, but in fact it is strong and weak, and we hope to draw Real Madrid." ”

The Liverpool team is treating Real Madrid as a soft persimmon, and of course the players of Real Madrid can't accept it, and they have been interviewed by the Spanish newspaper "Marca" to fight back against the Liverpool team.

Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, the biggest foreign player introduced by Real Madrid this year and the most valuable player in Shijie football at present, accepted an interview with Marca, and he said: "If you want to ask me who the opponent Real Madrid wants to draw, I will definitely say Inter Milan, because everyone knows that Inter Milan is the strongest team in all the second group, as long as we beat them, then the Champions League championship is in our bag." ”

Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's words did not take the Liverpool team into account at all, and the Liverpool team was directly ignored by Cristiano 61 Ronaldo.

And Real Madrid's flag Raul said in an interview with media reporters: "Originally, we didn't expect the Liverpool team, to be honest, the current Liverpool team is not the Liverpool team of two seasons ago, and it can be seen from their results in the Champions League group stage this season that they are not too strong opponents." ”

Raul continued: "But after hearing what the Liverpool goal said before, I hope we can draw the Liverpool team, so that we can prove to the Liverpudlians with practical actions that we Real Madrid are not any shrimp that can be challenged." ”

Raul added: "Our goal at Real Madrid has always been Liverpool because our goal is to win the Champions League, and to be honest, we don't care about anyone because we only have the title in our eyes. ”

Real Madrid's centre-back Pepe also spoke to the media and said: "Our squad has improved a lot this season, we are very confident in the team, we seem to have a feeling that the Champions League is beckoning us, so we can meet anyone. ”

Real Madrid's players are behind this, but they are full of confidence, and of course they also give people an arrogant image, as if they don't take anyone to heart, which makes everyone unhappy with them.

Before the game, all kinds of interviews and predictions are flying all over the world, and everyone has their own opinion, so the results of these predictions are varied. Of course, everyone still found one thing in common after summing up all this, that is, everyone wants to be able to see that kind of strong matchup here.

And the discussion during this period is much more intense than in the same period of the past, mainly because there are very many strong teams in the second place in the group stage of this season's Champions League, which gives the opportunity for a matchup.

Now the outside media and fans are looking forward to the upcoming draw ceremony, and they seem to be unable to wait.

At this time, Qiu Ze and Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez left Liverpool and flew to UEFA headquarters to attend the draw for the upcoming UEFA Champions League round of 16 draw.

At this time, the managers and presidents of the major clubs flew to Nyon, Switzerland, to participate in the draw for the last 16 of the Champions League. Almost all of them came to Switzerland on the same day because of the tight schedule.

They all rested for a few hours in the organizer's hotel before they began to walk into the venue for the day. When Qiu Ze followed Benitez, they saw a lot of team managers and club presidents.

Many of them greeted Qiu Ze and Benitez, including Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini, Chelsea FC manager Carlo 61 Carlo Ancelotti and others. Especially Pellegrini, he also invited Qiu Ze to join Real Madrid in person.

After a brief pleasantry, Qiu Ze followed Benitez to the place where the Premier League coaches gathered and sat down. They are all waiting for the official start of the draw for the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
