Chapter 278: Internal and Foreign Additions

"What kind of opponent?"

Xiang Hao was stunned for a moment in response to the Times reporter's question, indeed he hadn't thought much of this question.

"Depending on our luck, we just hope we don't meet Barça because I think Barça are too strong this season."

Without preparation, Xiang Hao could only tell the truth. The six-crown champion should be this season's Barcelona, Xiang Hao doesn't remember it very clearly.

"Robin, what about you?" Knowing the result from Xiang Hao, they naturally let it go and shifted the topic to Van Persie.

"Hopefully it's an easy opponent, we want to go further, but those who can get to the quarterfinals are all their own characteristics, and they are not very easy to play."

Van Persie also gave only vague remarks, slick a little.

After the routine questioning, Xiang Hao and Van Persie were also let go, comparing the top four of the Premier League, there are people, and you can't take care of your Arsenal family.

As for Jia Bald, this person, to be honest, has only been here for less than a year, and he is really not treated by British coal.

As the representatives of each club took their seats, the best eighths of the team also appeared, and it was like sharing a cake, and all eight clubs had to be represented.

The representative of Arsenal, there is no doubt that it is Xiang Hao, and the best player, who won a small trophy of his own, and Xiang Hao can be regarded as a real face in front of the European powerhouses.

After a simple award ceremony, UEFA Secretary General David Taylor and Ambassador Bruno Conte, the finalist in Rome, took to the table and the draw began.

The ball rolled, Taylor pulled the first one out of the red ball, and glanced at the representatives of the clubs below, "Group A: La Liga,"

A sentence of La Liga made everyone a little nervous. Without him, Barcelona, a team that looks a little unstoppable this season, is the team that five of the other seven teams want to avoid.

"Villarreal."

The secretary general read out the team, and immediately everyone's eyes lit up, in the quarterfinals, the two teams faintly were fish belly, Villarreal in La Liga and Porto in the Portuguese Super League.

Arsenal's strength is three likely, but the future generations of Cosmos Ren are now similar to Arsenal's competitiveness in Europe.

The other four, Barcelona in the first and second pots, are the other three teams in the Premier League, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool, Manchester United is slightly higher, but it is not up to the level of Barcelona.

As soon as Villarreal's name appeared, representatives of other clubs were immediately expecting it, even Porto, who were the worst of the teams.

There is no way, in the seven teams, they will gnaw Villarreal.

Conte also took out a blue ball at this time, glanced at it, smiled mysteriously, and read: "Premier League - Arsenal team." ”

"It's Arsenal, they're funny."

"I don't know if the top four of the Premier League will play separately, it will be interesting."

"Liverpool and Chelsea are miserable, hehe."

When this match came out, people from various clubs talked about it, and they all knew something in their hearts.

It's really interesting, even Conte himself thinks it's interesting.

It's just a coincidence that Roma is a famous man who gave a good draw to the team that eliminated him.

Taylor put the two balls together and went on to draw the second red ball, "Group B: Premier League - Manchester United. ”

Xiang Hao was stunned, and so did Van Persie and Jia Vulture, and the joy of drawing Villarreal just now was immediately diluted.

Because the winners of the two groups of AB have to talk directly, even if they pass the Villarreal level, the opponent in the next round is likely to be Manchester United.

You must know that in the Champions League, Manchester United's attitude is very different from the Carabao Cup, just look at their expressions.

Hearing the name of their team, Ferguson and Ronaldo both looked at Conte intently.

Of these eight teams, the most important in European competition is Manchester United, who are the defending champions.

If Ferguson wants to completely kick Liverpool down, he must lead the Red Devils to overshadow Liverpool in European competition, and there must be a miracle to defend the title.

This period of the Red Devils is one that Ferguson can best grasp, and he can't help but look forward to it.

And Ronaldo, although he is still so buggy in the Premier League this season, but in the European arena, he seems to have lost his magic and has not scored for a long time, showing an obvious downward trend.

Cristiano Ronaldo is eager to bounce together in European competition, eager to reach the Champions League final again, and help his team defend the title, so that his position will be completely solidified, even to new heights.

Such a goal is waiting for him, and he naturally has endless expectations, especially looking at who the opponent is.

"Portuguese Premier League - Porto." Conte read the blue ball.

"Buzz".

As soon as this match came out, people from other clubs talked more in private.

"Manchester United are going to the final."

"Arsenal have passed this hurdle, and they are also Xuan."

"For Barcelona, this gimmick is enough."

As soon as this match came out, everyone almost understood, and this draw was almost seen.

The rest, the most speechless is almost Arsenal, they understand that they are going to be used as a stepping stone, whether they can get up, it depends on your own strength.

The next draw, Liverpool vs. Chelsea, the Premier League strong dialogue.

In the history of the Champions League, unless the general trend is irreversible, otherwise, there will never be a situation where a country will host the Champions League semi-finals.

So a civil war is bound to happen, and as soon as Arsenal and Manchester United come out, this result can be imagined.

That last group, do you still need to draw, Barcelona vs. Bayern.

The two Cosmos teams, but now, have always been the teenagers of the Cosmos team, one is still a baby, and it is not a dialogue at the same level.

It is no wonder that when others saw the confrontation between groups A and B, they so quickly deduced the situation behind the performance, and even the possible teams in the finals.

At this level, they are all human spirits.

However, the general scale is circled for you, if you can perform at a higher level, or if something unpredictable happens, it is not impossible to turn the tables, and they will not forcibly interfere.

After all, they still know the unspoken rules.

After the draw, Xiang Hao and Van Persie immediately returned to London, and there was no time to make a pre-war declaration with Pire. Because they have to play in the league against Newcastle next.

If it weren't for Cesc Fabregas's deep 'mouth spat' incident during this time, Wenger would have sent the draw of lots.

At this time, Cesc Fabregas is not suitable to go out at all, because the saliva gate has escalated.

'Yes, the club's hierarchy has already complained to the FA and I don't think it's a dwelling because he did.

We were insulted twice at the Emirates Stadium, one by him and the other by Bol, so we have reason to express our displeasure. ”

In an interview with the media, Hull City manager Brown was still indignant.

And Hull City's radical attitude has pushed this matter to the top, and Hull City, daring to do so, is obviously very sure.

The media have written articles to criticize Fabregas, you know, as early as 05, Fabregas was suspected of spitting on Ballack, but Bayern took the initiative to help Fabregas clarify.

This time, if such a thing broke out again, the media would naturally not let it go, and Hull City sent the matter to the FA and asked them to investigate, which made the media extremely excited and stuck to this matter.

Obviously, this is a wave of premeditated hype, the purpose, sales!

Arsenal are too quiet, so let's always come up with something to draw readers in, and Cesc Fabregas gives them excellent fodder. Without 'killing' him, these reporters will not be able to stop.

While Fabregas has mixed opinions from the outside, Arsenal are at ease.

In an interview with his official website, the old chairman said that the media deliberately demonized Fabregas, and they just wanted to attract the attention of readers, and they did not know the real situation at all.

And the Arsenal players have said that they didn't see it and don't understand why Hull City and the media are holding on.

In an interview, Bendtner replied very absolutely, and asked the media in a righteous and awe-inspiring rhetorical question, "Why do you reporters keep hacking me?" ”

The dissatisfied tone and aggrieved expression immediately made the reporters dispel the idea of interviewing him. It's better to hack him directly with such a second goods, don't give him a chance to ask why.

"Click, click, click."

There is a draw on the outside, and there is turmoil on the inside. As the helmsman of Arsenal, Arsene Wenger is naturally the subject of media interviews.

Arsene Wenger also had to be interviewed because the game against Newcastle was about to take place and the pre-match press conference was always to be held.

Without waiting for the reporters on the scene to ask anything, Wenger said directly, "I know what you want to ask, but as I said before, I really haven't seen anything about Sesk, and I can't give more answers."

We will also accept any investigation from the FA. If they want to remain deeply involved in this, we will fully cooperate, and we always have. For me, things will end here. ”

"What do you think about the controversy between Horton and Sesk? Sesk was dressed in civilian clothes and was not supposed to enter that area. There are still reporters who are unwilling and ask.

Although the saliva is not seen, Fabregas's Horton's dispute is indeed real.

"It's totally unfair criticism."

Arsene Wenger's first sentence was negative: "We have a lot of players on the bench and I think it's normal for them to come on the pitch and share the thrill of winning with the players.

As for what he wore that night, he could wear it however he liked, so I beg to agree with you. ”

As if he felt that Arsenal had been accused of going too far in the past few days, Arsene Wenger spoke again, "I know it was a controversial goal, no one will be happy if they lose, I understand Hull City's feelings.

But if you want to take advantage of this incident and the newspapers come up to exaggerate Sesk's problem, I think it's far-fetched and baseless, and I think the media should stop in moderation. We will be formally investigated. ”

The old man's tough statement severely shocked the reporters who were planning to make trouble.
