In the end, Barcelona had the last laugh, just like the headline "Invincible Barcelona" by the English media after the game, this team is invincible. After the game, rumours of Cesc Fabregas moving to Barcelona this summer were rampant again; There was no suspense in the match between Marseille and Manchester United, who maintained their good momentum and form, easily eliminated Marseille in two legs, and the former Ligue 1 hegemon has now been reduced to the second rate in Europe; Chelsea's opponents weren't too strong either, and they drew the luckiest draw to knock out Copenhagen.

In this way, all the quarter-finals are announced, and they are Roma, Hoffenheim, Schalke 04, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea.

Three teams in the Bundesliga have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, a spectacle not seen in German football for a long time, and the last time they had three teams reach the quarter-finals at the same time was in 1997-98, when Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen reached the quarter-finals respectively, but none of them reached the final. Still, it's glorious enough.

The German media rejoiced, chanting that the spring of German football had finally arrived. Others praise the Bundesliga's healthy operating model and emphasis on the quality of youth training as the reason for this prosperity. Since Germany's quarter-final defeat to Croatia in 1998, German football has become old and rethinkable. They went on to reach the semi-finals of the next three consecutive World Cups, one runner-up and two third-place finishers. German football's youth system began to bear fruit, with their youth team beating arch-rivals England 4-0 at the UEFA Youth Championship and the senior team beating England 4-1 at the World Cup in South Africa.

Nowadays in the Bundesliga, many teams have the shadow of young homegrown players, who play a very important role in their respective teams.

It is these young players who have supported the Bundesliga, and a resurgence of the Bundesliga is no longer an unattainable dream.

The Bundesliga is now the healthiest league in Europe, and while many teams in other European leagues are in debt, clubs in Germany are making a profit. The good economic environment has made the German teams have no worries, and the entire Bundesliga has formed a healthy competition environment, with the rise of teams such as Borussia Dortmund, Schalke 04, Wolfsburg, Werder Bremen, Mainz, Hannover and Hoffenheim in recent years, Bayern Munich can no longer dominate the world. The competition is beneficial to improve the overall competitiveness of the league.

Finally, all this was reflected in the 2010-2011 Champions League season.

The fact that three Bundesliga teams reached the quarter-finals, even if none of them made it to the final, was reassuring to German fans showed that German football is on the right path.

※※※ After the list of quarter-finals was released, UEFA conducted the draw for the quarter-finals. The first leg of the quarter-finals will be played on April 5 and 6, while the second leg will be played on April 12 and 13.

According to UEFA rules, teams from the same country will not play against each other during the draw for the round of 16, and teams with the same name in each group will not play against each other. However, the subsequent quarter-final and semi-final draws are exempt from these rules, so having three Bundesliga teams reach the quarter-finals at the same time actually increases the chances of teams from the same country playing each other. In the 1997-1998 season, the last time three Bundesliga teams reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Borussia Dortmund eliminated Bayern Munich, while Bayer Leverkusen were eliminated by Real Madrid, who then eliminated Dortmund in the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 2-0 to reach the final, where Real Madrid defeated Juventus 1-0 to regain the Champions League title after 32 years.

The three Bundesliga teams reaching the quarterfinals have also surprised many European media, according to their previous predictions, only Bayern Munich has the strength to go further in German football, Schalke 04 and Hoffenheim should be eliminated.

Who would have thought that there are the most German teams in the quarterfinals today, with only two seats in the Premier League and La Liga, and only one Rome in Serie A. Today's Serie A is no longer the "Little World Cup" that was popular all over the world, and they are at a disadvantage in the competition with the Bundesliga. The Italian media lamented after the quarter-finals were announced, believing that next season Serie A might be deprived of four Champions League places, and the extra place will be given to the Bundesliga. If it is true, it can be regarded as a great shame for Serie A.

In the end, Bayern Munich and Schalke 04, the same brothers, fought against each other and met in advance. Everyone thinks that Bayern Munich have drawn a good signing, they already know Schalke 04 well enough in the league, and the Champions League experienced big brother will not be a problem to beat Schalke 04.

Hoffenheim drew Chelsea, Ancelotti's Chelsea is facing a lot of problems, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, plus Ancelotti is a very very experienced manager in the Champions League, his Chelsea may not be satisfactory in the league, but it is a good hand to play in the Champions League. He led AC Milan to three Champions League finals and two Champions League titles, a result that is a testament to his ability in the Champions League. In fact, Abramovic poached him from AC Milan because of his Champions League coaching resume, hoping that his experience in the Champions League can help Chelsea, Abramovic still can't lose his Champions League dream, hoping that his team can win even one Champions League title.

The other matches are as follows - Roma vs. Barcelona and Real Madrid vs. Manchester United.

The media generally believe that Barcelona has drawn a good draw, Roma is not the strongest, ranked last in the quarterfinals, they can enter the quarterfinals entirely because the opponents in the quarterfinals are too weak, and now their Champions League road has come to an end, and no team in world football can challenge Barcelona today. Everyone pinned their hopes on Mourinho's Real Madrid before, but Mourinho's Real Madrid suffered a 0:5 defeat away from home, shattering everyone's glasses. After that game, Europe let out a sigh of "invincible Barcelona", and it was absolutely impossible for Rome to stop Barcelona from advancing.

Real Madrid's match against Manchester United is another game that has attracted much attention, and the friendship and grudge between Mourinho and Ferguson are also the duels of the giants, as well as Cristiano. With Ronaldo set to return to Old Trafford, how will he be treated? He once said he didn't want to run into a Premier League team in the knockout rounds, but UEFA didn't let him do that. These are all gimmicks worth the hype.

Hoffenheim's match against Chelsea hasn't been much of the talk.

Only Hoffenheim's own media is very concerned, this sign is not a good sign, and drawing Tottenham is a good sign, because Tottenham is not strong, but Chelsea is definitely not at the same level as Tottenham. Don't look at Tottenham's current ranking above Chelsea, but when it comes to playing the Champions League, Chelsea throws Tottenham a few streets.

Such an experienced opponent is really difficult to deal with.

Some German media even pessimistically said that perhaps only Bayern Munich can break into the semi-finals and continue to defend the glory of German football.

Chelsea, for their part, were pleased with the draw. Carlo Ancelotti's style of football is steady and steady, and he is not afraid of Hoffenheim's sharp attack. In addition, Hoffenheim's strength is not too strong, and if Chelsea plays normally, it should be no problem to win.

Others disagree.

Hoffenheim's captain Chu Zhongtian spoke to the media after the draw results and said it was a wonderful thing to be back at Stamford Bridge.

'I was a Chelsea player? Ah, if you don't say I'll forget. Yes, I used to be part of Chelsea, but I never played a minute there as a home player. So actually Chelsea feels like to me......

This is his answer to the London media that he said that he has a different taste in the face of his old club. He really doesn't feel for Chelsea, he has never played for Chelsea, he hasn't even worn a Chelsea shirt once, he hasn't been in the Chelsea home dressing room, and his team-mates don't know him.

'But I have a lot of affection for Stamford Bridge because everyone knows it's where I'm famous. Chu Zhongtian laughed. 'So I'm really close to Chelsea.'

Journalists also reacted, and it was. At Stamford Bridge, Chu scored two spectacular goals to help Wimbledon, who were still amateurs at the time, knock out Premier League side Chelsea. It was that game that made him famous and later a professional player. It can be said that the game at Stamford Bridge was an important turning point in his life.

'I can't wait to get back to Stamford Bridge, it's my blessed place.'

Chu Zhongtian lightly expressed his belief in victory, and he did not feel timid at all because his opponent was a strong Chelsea.

So what was the reaction from the Stamford Bridge side?

"Chu was once one of us? Ah, sorry, it's been so long, I don't even remember......" Chelsea's press officer's reply was a bit of a disdain, which was also a form of psychological warfare. Just like Barcelona officials always insist that Mourinho is a little translator and not something he calls an assistant coach.

The rivalry between Chelsea and Hoffenheim began a week before the game.

The competition of the Champions League is the competition of the Champions League, and the league still has to take care of it.

Hoffenheim have won both league games since the victory over Tottenham, first with a 2-0 win over Hannover, with a goal from Ibisevic and a goal from Chu Zhongtian. Then he narrowly beat Hamburg 3-2 at home, Chu Zhongtian scored in two consecutive rounds, and the remaining two goals were scored by Obsi and Srna. Two wins in a row have put Hoffenheim back in fourth place in the league and renewed hope of participating in next season's Champions League.

After the game against Hamburg, Hoffenheim will travel away to play Chelsea.

※※※ "Stamford Bridge again!" Ha ha! We're in luck! "At the Wimbledon Bar, everyone was having a good time.

"That's right, it's not many opportunities to be able to see Chu's games in London in a row! Remembering that this Champions League final was played at Wembley, if ...... I mean, if Hoffenheim can make it to the final, we'll be able to see him at Wembley! ”

Before at the White Hart Lane Stadium, everyone also went to watch Chu Zhongtian's game, and Chu Zhongtian performed well in that game, although he did not score, but he had an assist.

As a fan of Chu Zhongtian in that game, the big guys in the Wimble bar watched it very highly.

Stamford Bridge...... It brings back memories of my old days......" Old Bent pretended to be contemplative as he held the bar.

In fact, as early as when the results of this lottery came out, everyone invariably thought of those past events. Wimbledon Athletic are now a professional team in England's fifth tier, just a stone's throw away from the professional league, and judging by their momentum this year, they are likely to be successful in the second division. But after so many seasons, what fans are most talking about is not the upgrades again and again, but the winter of 2004, January 25, a day that everyone will not forget. Amateur side Wimbledon Athletic take on the hosts, the super-strong Chelsea, at Stamford Bridge.

Before the game, everyone felt that the mad gang had been sentenced to death in advance, and the result of this game could be known without fighting. How can a team in the ninth division challenge a super team?

Only Chu Zhongtian refused to admit defeat, he said before the game that he played football to win, and in this bar, Emily also said to him, "May the strong win".

And they really won!

When I think about that game, everyone is still shivering, it's so exciting. Every minute of that game is clearly remembered. Especially when Chu Zhongtian scored those two goals, everyone sang "its_my_chu". The whole Stamford Bridge is the world of the mad gang.

"Don't talk about you, old Bent. I still shudder now when I think of Chu Goal and when we sing on it. Jackson said as he took his glass, and he poured the rest of the wine into his stomach in one gulp. One more drink, John! ”

Everyone also talked about how they felt at the time.

Boss John listened and slowly followed their conversation back to those passionate years. Wimbledon Athletic is also doing well these days, and it's almost in the professional league, but I don't know why he often thinks about what this team was like when it was first formed, and he is still most familiar with the players who have left the team one after another.

This time there is no need for someone to propose, everyone knows that they are going to watch the game live, and which song they are singing, although it is not the first time they have sung it, they will sing it when they watch live TV, and they have also sung it when they watched Chu Zhongtian's game on the spot. But singing in the stands at Stamford Bridge has a special taste in my heart. It's unique and unlike anything else.

When they sing the song again at Stamford Bridge, they are also reliving those passionate years.

※※※ "Stamford Bridge ......" When the bus passed by the side of the Stamford Bridge stadium, Chu Zhongtian looked at the roof of the pitch outside and said secretly in his heart.

It's finally back here again.

It took six years for him to come back. But not as a Chelsea player, but as an opponent.

He doesn't have much affection for Chelsea, but he has a lot of affection for Stamford Bridge.

The stadium brought back a lot of memories for him, some of which he didn't usually remember.

Some of the team-mates in the car were closing their eyes, some were listening to music, some were playing with their mobile phones, and not many of them were casting their eyes at the Stamford Bridge pitch outside the car. They are much calmer than their original teammates.

Yes, now he doesn't have to repeatedly explain to his teammates that they can beat the strong team, although this Hoffenheim team is considered not strong enough by the outside world, but there is a kind of confidence that everyone inside thinks that they can beat all the opponents in this world.

Thinking of this, he also looked away from Stamford Bridge and looked back at the scenery on the street.

Let's relive it when it's time for the game.

I wonder if I'll see my old friends again?

He laughed.

※※※The young male protagonist Wu Qingyu came to Emily's room and knocked on the door, he was going to discuss with Emily about his understanding of the role of "Chu Zhongtian".

As soon as the door opened, it opened and Emily opened with joy. Stan.

"You're just in time, Wu!" Emily spoke to him in English. "There's a really good opportunity to experience the role tomorrow, and I've already scheduled it."

"Ah, do you mean the Champions League for Hoffenheim and Chelsea?" As a fan, such a thing must of course be understood.

Emily nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, the tickets have been bought, and everyone in the crew will go to see it!" ”

"Wow! That's great! Wu Qingyu almost jumped up with excitement, being able to watch a Champions League game on the spot, plus it was still his idol to participate, he couldn't have imagined it before.

Emily looked at his excited face and smiled, "Let's take a good feel for the atmosphere there." You must know that Chu is famous for the game that was played against Chelsea here. ”

"Hmm!" Wu Qingyu nodded vigorously, Chu Zhongtian's brilliant experience was like a treasure.

"It's also a coincidence, I didn't expect Hoffenheim to be able to draw Chelsea. Ha ha! Emily smiled very happily, and she would also think of the way she watched Chu Zhongtian score the second goal in the stands, laughing and crying.

It's crazy......
