On December 17, UEFA held the draw for the round of 16 of the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League at its headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Not to mention professional players like Qin Lang, in fact, fans and the media are very concerned about this draw ceremony; The Champions League, which attracts too much attention every year. Especially when it comes to the knockout stage, it will naturally be more exciting and intense.

Qin Lang, who was nested at home, was waiting for the draw ceremony to proceed, hoping that it was Inter, and Qin Lang hoped to complete revenge. Losing to Inter in the Champions League final last season, Qin Lang has never forgotten it.

Although many people think that it is easier to draw a weaker team to advance, which can also make Bayern relatively easy in the dense schedule, but sometimes it is really unpleasant not to take revenge, which is also something Qin Lang feels must do.

Before the draw, the UEFA secretary general first complimented the defending champions Inter, then introduced the situation of the teams in the line, especially praised the knockout newcomers Tottenham, Copenhagen and Shakhtar Donetsk, and finally officially started after introducing the well-known rules of the Champions League draw.

As the draw ceremony progressed, Qin Lang was dumbfounded; In the past, I have always heard some media and fans complaining about various 'coincidences' and conspiracy theories about the Champions League draw, but I have to say that these UEFA officials are too good at making trouble.

Look at the draw results of the one-eighth finals, Qin Lang was dumbfounded.

AC Milan v Tottenham; Valencia and Schalke 04; Lyon and Real Madrid meet again, with Inter and Bayern facing off in last season's Champions League final; Arsenal and Barcelona have not been separated.

Marseille and Manchester United, Copenhagen, Chelsea, Roma and Shakhtar Donetsk, there is no grudge!

"It's too exaggerated to play like this!"

Although I saw that the opponent was Inter Milan as I wished, look at the draw this time; Even if it was 'well-informed', Qin Lang felt that it was too exaggerated.

In the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the fortunes of the giants were different.

The claim that UEFA used technical means to manipulate the opponent in the draw has long been recognized by all walks of life, and it would be "too stupid and naïve" to say that there is no catty and conspiracy.

However, as for how to distribute the strong dialogue, there are still many mysteries that can be seen from this draw. This is an esoteric science, although it has been complained about, but it really makes the Champions League full of appeal.

Obviously, the fate of the Premier League giants who have been repeatedly suppressed in the previous two seasons, and no team reached the semi-finals for the first time last season or even in seven years, has shaken the British football world a lot. The top three teams of the Premier League, which have always been "maimed" in the past, in addition to Arsenal this year, Manchester United and Chelsea, the two teams that won the top spot in the league, have drawn good draws.

Arsenal and Milan, who finished second in the group, were in a passive position in the draw, and the Gunners' four potential opponents were all giants except Schalke.

In the end, all three of them also met the top of the league, proving how important the top spot is in the group stage – and the top spot now means more than just a home and away fixture advantage.

But the most important thing is to reflect the theme of the Champions League quarterfinals this time - revenge!

Arsenal vs Barcelona and Lyon vs Real Madrid, two pairs of opponents who met in the knockout rounds last season; And Bayern's rivalry with Inter in the Champions League final last season was also more attractive.

The draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League saw three pairs of opponents who had faced each other in the knockout rounds last season, and all of them were civil wars among the giants. The winner naturally wants to continue the advantage, and the loser will be full of revenge and enthusiasm, bringing too many highlights to the quarterfinals.

With Arsenal finishing second in the group and three of the potential four opponents being giants, the Gunners were calm about the draw. Just think about it, Arsenal should be quite bitter; Maybe these people should know that if the Champions League does not meet Barcelona, there will be a lot of Arsenal.

The two teams play similarly, but Barcelona's individual ability is superior, especially with an absolute strong point like Messi Xavi. In addition, Barcelona's more feared opponents are Premier League teams like Chelsea and Manchester United that are straightforward and have the ability to fight physically; But Arsenal are an alternative to the Premier League, and they are technical streams.

Arsenal are not favoured, and being eliminated by La Liga seems to be something that everyone has expected.

Real Madrid, another La Liga signboard, doesn't know whether to cry or laugh in the face of the opponent who was drawn.

Strange to say, Real Madrid has maintained a high winning rate against other Ligue 1 opponents, such as the group stage double defeat of Marseille and Ouserre in the last two seasons, but against Lyon, they always can't win. In the past five seasons, there have been three draws and three losses against Lyon, and they were directly eliminated by their opponents last season.

The title of the sixteenth lang of the Champions League, Lyon has merit; But this season, the magic bird is in charge of Real Madrid!

As for the match between Bayern and Inter, it is even more interesting.

Neither team is currently in league action as expected, and in May the two teams were still fighting at the Bernabeu to win the third treble in the top five leagues, but both are in trouble at the moment. This early encounter, the loser is bound to make matters worse, and winning the team may not necessarily be able to soar to the sky!

Bayern drew Inter Milan, the rival of last season's championship and runner-up finals, in fact, in general, there is still some initiative. Because the latter is without Mourinho, Benitez is still struggling in a quagmire.

But Bayern themselves are not having a good time, falling behind the Hornets in the standings; And the continuous injuries are a headache for Van Gaal, last season's heroes Robben, Ribery and Olic have been overhauled, and now only Ribery has returned, Olic will definitely not be able to catch up with Inter Milan, and Robben has just returned to training, when will he play is still a mystery, coupled with the team's German internationals after the World Cup decline to varying degrees, Bayern Munich in the first half of the year can be regarded as a year.

Against Inter Milan, who have also been in poor form recently, whether Bayern Munich will lose again and again or succeed in revenge may depend on whether Robben and others can find their form in time by the start of the game in February.

"This time, they can't be allowed to score no matter what! It's better to fight to the penalty shootout, I'll destroy you! No, Inter may not survive the penalty shoot-out, unless my team-mates are out of goal again! ”

Qin Lang, who muttered to himself, is now an eye-opener, the Champions League draw is really too knowledgeable; But in general, the mood is very good, and the reason is naturally because the team has met Inter again, and the opportunity for revenge has come.

As for how the media in the outside world are arguing, Qin Lang actually doesn't care much.

It's a good thing, it's naturally like this for Qin Lang; It's where he fell and where he got up, and he's always been concerned about losing to Inter in the Champions League final.

If it weren't for the fact that my mother attached great importance to the Champions League silver medal, maybe Qin Lang would have used that silver medal as a favor; The reason is that the silver medal is really worthless, it is just a consolation for the participation.

When he meets Inter again, even if it is not the Inter that defeated him at the beginning, but the main framework is still there, Qin Lang is naturally quite looking forward to it.

However, there seems to be a lot of talk from the outside world, and the theme of revenge seems to be haunting Bayern, and many people feel that it is actually quite stressful for Bayern to meet a strong opponent too early.

After all, in the knockout stage of the Champions League last season, Bayern even encountered a team like Manchester United, but in general it was relatively easy.

Now it seems that there is also a crow's mouth called, after all, among the second-tier teams, Inter's strength is definitely quite top-notch, and Bayern must need to die when encountering such an opponent, for Bayern, who has been in fluctuating form this season, such an opponent is actually a very threatening and challenging team.

'I've always wanted to touch Inter and now it's certainly a good thing to meet them again. It's going to be a tough one for the whole team and we haven't forgotten the game at the Bernabeu. We need to find our form again now, we need to win against Inter! ”

Qin Lang was caught by a reporter from "Bild" and asked some questions about the draw for the quarterfinals of the Champions League; Qin Lang feels that there is nothing to hide, although such an opponent is quite challenging for Bayern, but I believe that the whole team is holding their breath, Bayern must defeat Inter!

'I know we're having some difficulties at the moment and we didn't play a good first half. But trust me, we're going to do even better in the next games. We have every reason to believe that they can beat Inter and they won't have a chance to score against me again. ”

Full of confidence, Qin Lang was really happy to meet Inter again; For Qin Lang, what he needs to do now is not to continue to pay attention to the discussions brought about by the draw for the Champions League quarterfinals, what he needs to know is that the team will have a chance to take revenge when they meet Inter again.

It also includes Qin Lang and his teammates who need to start preparing for the game against Stuttgart; Whether it's the league or the German Cup, a win over Stuttgart is needed to make a perfect finish to the first half of the competition.

The opportunity came, and Bayern had a chance to close the gap in the closing stages of the first half.

In the seventeenth round of the league, Dort was defeated by Eintracht Frankfurt, who was deep in the relegation zone; The upset Dort gave Bayern a chance, and the Hornets, who suffered their second defeat of the season, looked to be under pressure.

In the first two days of the game, Dort was upset and capsized, which really inspired the Bayern players; They know that opportunities are rare, so they have to close the gap on Dort, they have to perform better in the game.

Take chances, this is what every team that wants to achieve glory must do; Besides, Bayern have made so many mistakes before that they don't have the capital to make mistakes now. It's important to wait for your opponent to make a mistake, but you can't make a mistake yourself. (To be continued.) )
