57. World Club Cup

Yes, at the time of seeing this result, almost all Serie A fans and Premier League fans thought that this Champions League draw was shady, super shady. Especially Premier League fans think so, because the fate of the Premier League team in this year's Champions League draw is really too sad, so sad that everyone can see the shady.

In addition to the top three Premier League players against the top three in Serie A, just looking at the signing of Liverpool against Real Madrid, you can see that there is a big shady scene in this.

Liverpool's manager Rafael 61 The "relationship" between Benitez and the La Liga team has exposed UEFA's shady intentions, isn't this just to add to the highlights?

These two teams are really very related, and the total number of times the two Champions Cups have reached 15, which is simply a matchup between the Champions League winners. And the total number of finals reached is as many as 20, and these two teams are simply the giants of the Champions League.

However, this time there must be a team that will have to fall early, and they will not even be able to reach the quarter-finals, in fact, Liverpool's third Champions League trophy was won after beating Real Madrid in the final.

Although that was the only time the two clubs had played each other before that, Liverpool were in the same group as Atletico Madrid, another club in the city of Madrid, in the group stage. In February next year, in addition to Torres, Benitez, who was born in Real Madrid, is also worth paying attention to facing his old club. Of course, Real Madrid's current manager, Sergio Ramos, is no stranger to Liverpool, after all, he has been at White Hart Lane for almost a year.

There is a real inextricable relationship between these two teams, and UEFA has really painstakingly arranged it, and all the fans can see it.

As soon as the Champions League round of 16 was revealed, it immediately attracted countless media attention, reports and comments, and the British media immediately made a big report on it.

England's The Times reported on the draw under the headline "Four Giants, Four Battles". The article mainly mentions the encounters between European champions Liverpool and Manchester United against Real Madrid and Inter Milan, which also means that they will be caught in a new round of war of words.

In the article they added: "Manchester United will face Inter Milan and we will see Jose Mourinho return to Old Trafford for the first time since leaving Chelsea. There are a lot of highlights in this game, of course, mainly on Jose 61 Mourinho, after returning to England, what kind of answer will the Portuguese manager deliver? Will he be able to continue to press Alex 61 Alex Ferguson? ”

In addition to this, they also mentioned the other top three of the Premier League: "Jose 61 Jose Mourinho's former club Chelsea will face Juventus, a Bianconeri who are now chasing Inter Milan, while the coach of the 'Old Lady', Claudio Ranieri, is another former Chelsea manager. Claudio Ranieri's return to Stamford Bridge may be the perfect opportunity for the tinkerer to prove himself to the Chelsea man. ”

Then they said about the Arsenal game: "This matchup between Arsenal and Roma is a good opportunity for the Roma to get revenge on the Premier League, and of course they want to regain the face they lost to Manchester United. ”

Zuihou "The Times" said of the last champion Liverpool: "The duel between Liverpool and Real Madrid is the heaviest duel in the history of the Champions League, because the two teams have reached a staggering 20 Champions League finals in total, and the total number of titles has reached an astonishing 15. ”

At this time, England's "Sun" newspaper spread the news that "Real Madrid poached the Reds, and Benitez changed hands before the quarterfinals".

The Sun's report reads: "At the beginning of the season, Real Madrid had their eye on Liverpool's manager Rafael Benitez, and Benitez was not happy at Liverpool at the time, and Liverpool's American boss was very reluctant to Benitez. Real Madrid approached Benitez at that time and hoped that Benitez would return to Spain to coach.

Although Benitez stayed for the time being because of the retention of Liverpool's American owner, there was news recently that Benitez had been away from Real Madrid for a long time. Privately, the two sides seem to have reached some sort of agreement, with Benitez leaving Liverpool for Spain in January.

In other words, when Real Madrid face Liverpool in February next year, Benitez will be on the sidelines of this game, but they will not appear in the Liverpool dugout, but in the Real Madrid dugout.

It's definitely a very interesting scene. ”

As soon as the news of "The Sun" came, it scared Liverpool fans a lot, Benitez can't leave at this time, Liverpool still needs him.

The "Daily Mail" made a single comment:

Chelsea v Juventus: This is the first game to be drawn, with former Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri facing the division of Scolari, who dodged Jose Mourinho but made a date with the tinker.

Real Madrid vs. Liverpool: According to the rules, Real Madrid could only meet English clubs at the time, but they avoided Manchester United and then met six-time Champions League winners Liverpool. This is the heaviest duel in European history. And Benitez will return to his hometown, and of course former Tottenham coach Sergio Ramos has also been given a chance to refute the accusations made against him by the English media.

Arsenal vs Roma, Chelsea had a hard time playing Roma and now Roma are aiming for a final at home, but the Gunners may have been happier to avoid Barcelona in the first knockout round.

Inter Milan vs Manchester United: This is Jose 61 Mourinho's first date with Alex 61 Ferguson since leaving the Premier League. After leaving the Premier League, will Jose 61 Mourinho still be able to continue to suppress Arakes 61 Ferguson? It's a suspense.

In the eyes of the English, the Premier League team's last-16 matchup is full of highlights, and at the same time, it is not a good signing.

In the eyes of the Spanish media, the La Liga team's signing this year is generally very good. In their view, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Submarine have a bright prospect of qualifying, while Real Madrid face Liverpool, who have a good record in the Champions League in recent years.

According to Marca, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Submarine are not strong opponents, and these three teams should play normally and should join hands to reach the round of 16, while Real Madrid drew one of the worst draws.

Reds Liverpool have reached the semi-finals three times in the last four years and have also won the Champions League twice. Liverpool are now the defending champions, very strong and in the limelight. Real Madrid, on the other hand, are likely to be kept out of the quarterfinals for the fifth season in a row.

The situation of the two teams is so different, Real Madrid in recent years has been really shabby in front of Liverpool. Real Madrid is really unlucky.

Shijie Sports said that the matchup between Real Madrid and Liverpool was a repeat of the 1981 Champions League final, and they also believed that Real Madrid had drawn the worst draw, especially Liverpool was one of the most successful teams in the Champions League in recent years.

Liverpool, who have five Spanish players, are very familiar with Real Madrid, especially the striker Fernando Torres, who was once Real Madrid's arch-rival Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid manager Sergio Ramos will play Benitez again. By any measure, Real Madrid's chances of winning are very slim, and this signing is really terrible.

Of course, Shijie Sports is very optimistic about Barcelona, and they believe that Lyon is simply not enough to stop Barcelona, because in history, the Ligue 1 champions have never won against Barcelona, and they have not won in the past, and they will not in the future.

Real Madrid's mouthpiece "As" also issued an article after the draw for the round of 16, saying that Real Madrid's prospects are worrying. Liverpool is one of the most successful teams in the Champions League in recent years, and they have faintly risen, while Real Madrid has been worse than a year in recent years.

Of course, the newspaper "As" encouraged Real Madrid in Zuihou, believing that Liverpool are not invincible, and as long as they put their heart and soul into the game, they still have a chance to win against Liverpool. Of course, if Benitez is brought to Real Madrid in January next year, then Real Madrid's chances are even greater.

Now, there are a lot of reports on the Champions League 16 in the outside media, and almost all of them are reports about the draw for the Champions League round of 16. At this time, Liverpool were far away from Europe, the epicentre of the incident, and they flew to distant Asia.

Liverpool have flown to as far away as Asia for this year's Club World Cup.

The FIFA Shijie Club Cup, or Club World Cup for short, is an international football tournament hosted by FIFA and featuring top clubs from six continents.

The first Shijie Club Cup was held in Brazil in January 2000, and FIFA hoped that the tournament would change the original format of the Intercontinental Cup (Toyota Cup) for European and South American clubs, and that the new event would attract the best clubs from all six continents, but unfortunately FIFA could not reach an agreement with the Intercontinental Cup organizers, so the Intercontinental Cup was allowed to continue, and the Shijie Club Cup was held as usual in 2000.

From January 5 to 14, 2000, the first FIFA Shijie Club Championship was held in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with a total of 8 clubs from Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, Oceania, and North and Central America participating.

The competition is divided into two groups with 4 teams in a single round-robin, with the first place in the two groups competing for the championship, and the second team in the group determining the third and fourth places. In the end, Golendes from the host country Brazil met da Gama in the final, and Golendis won the inaugural Club World Cup on penalties.

The inaugural Shijie Club Cup was not well received, and the second tournament in 2001 was originally scheduled to take place in Spain with 12 teams, but the tournament was cancelled due to the abrupt collapse of FIFA's marketing company ISL. In 2003, the event was intended to be restarted, but it was still not possible. Eventually, FIFA and the Intercontinental Cup reached an agreement to merge the two competitions into one, and the reopened FIFA Shijie Club Cup was officially held in Japan in 2005.

Every subsequent tournament has been held in Japan, and this year's Shijie Club Cup was also held in Japan.

This is not the first time that Liverpool have participated in the Shijie Club Cup, when the Shijie Club Cup was resumed in 2005, Liverpool was the winner of the UEFA Champions League that year, and Liverpool also participated in the 2005 Shijie Club Cup.

Liverpool Zuihou and Copa Libertadores champions Sao Paulo of Brazil competed for the title of Zuihou, but Liverpool did not perform well in that game, losing 0-1 to Sao Paulo of Brazil and losing the chance to win the Shijie Club Cup.

This time, Liverpool are back in Asia, in Japan, in the Shijie Club Cup, and they certainly don't want to repeat the mistakes of three years ago, this time they came to Japan to win the title.
