It's opened, take a rest of your eyes, and it's not bad to listen to books!

Many people only know that UEFA is headquartered in Nyon, Switzerland, but they don't know that the specific location is not in the city of Nyon, but in the south of Nyon, next to the main road to the Crown and Cerini, on the shores of Lake Ri Neva.

Because it is a suburb, it is #sparsely populated, and it is either a luxury villa estate or some famous lakeside holiday homes, UEFA owns a large number of properties here, except for the two-storey headquarters next to Lake Ri Neiva, and across the street from the headquarters is a public stadium with relatively simple facilities.

Surrounding this public stadium there are 3 standard football pitches and a smaller one.

Not only that, the headquarters is directly opposite the Ri Neiva Lake, between the back of the house and the Ri Neiva Avenue, there is a large grassy area, the area is about the size of a football field, which shows that the UEFA headquarters is a standard landlord here.

Mourinho was visiting UEFA headquarters for the first time, and when he listened to Jorge Mendes talk about the UEFA assets, the Portuguese sneered at the corners of his mouth, because he knew very well where all this UEFA was coming from.

"The Chinese have a saying that wool comes out of sheep," Mourinho said lightly.

After Mendes listened, he glanced at Mourinho, obviously wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, but he still saw some changes in Mourinho, but he just put it in his heart.

The UEFA headquarters is a two-storey lakefront building with a narrow square shape along the lake's edge, and the exterior walls are all designed with transparent glass curtain walls, so that everyone in the office can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Ri Neiva.

Not only that, but there is a small pier by the lake in front of the house, and even several small curved breakwaters have been specially built, and between the breakwater and the pier, several small boats are docked, needless to say, all from UEFA's private property.

As soon as you enter, you can see the scenery of Lake Ri Neiva at a glance, and you can occasionally see some yachts passing by.

The staff had been here for a long time to greet and receive visitors who had come to the UEFA Champions League knockout draw, a small number of club officials or managers of the eight teams that had reached the top of the Champions League, and among them, Mourinho noticed Peter Kenyon as soon as he entered the door.

The appearance of Peter Kenyon means that Ye Qiu did not come, which makes many people know that the Chinese are angry with UEFA, and no one is willing to easily bow their heads and submit to softness, and the reason is not difficult to guess.

This year's Champions League is a lot of dark horses, including AC Milan, Real Madrid, Arsenal and other European giants who have reached the quarterfinals, and the others are Deportivo La Coruna, Lyon, Chelsea These powerful teams, among them, Chelsea's limelight has completely changed those giants.

Porto's Mourinho and Monaco's Deschamps are the two major young coaches who have risen rapidly in Europe in the past two years, although they are not as good as Chelsea's, but they are also well-known in Europe, especially Mourinho, because he beat Ye Qiu in the two major awards of UEFA, so his popularity and influence have soared.

"Hello, Mr. Kenyon," Mendes smiled and greeted Peter Kenyon beside him.

This made Mourinho unable to think that he couldn't see it, so he nodded lightly, which was polite.

"Hello, Mr. Mendes," Peter Kenyon replied, looking at Mourinho, "I didn't expect that Mr. Mourinho would personally come to this draw ceremony despite his busy schedule." ”

Peter Kenyon said it in a joking tone, but in Mourinho's ears, it always sounded a little unpleasant, because he hated the relationship between Wu and the house, he didn't like Ye Qiu, so naturally Peter Kenyon from Chelsea was not liked, which was a bad impression that had been generated since they had not met.

And people are usually the same, when you have a bad impression of a person, what he says will make you involuntarily have some bad associations, and you can't help but think about the bad things, which can easily cause some misunderstandings.

Mourinho didn't answer, didn't even give any reaction, Peter Kenyon didn't expect his casual words, but got such a cold response, he was suddenly a little embarrassed, and he was also very annoyed, this Portuguese is too arrogant, right?

As everyone knows, it is not entirely Mourinho's arrogance, but the result of a mistake.

"Hey, Mr. Kenyon, are you coming alone?" Mendes didn't understand why Mourinho would be so cold, and immediately smiled awkwardly to help Kenyon resolve the embarrassment.

"Yes, Ye Qiu is very busy, and he has a lot of experience in the Champions League, so he doesn't care what opponent he draws, so I can only come alone" Peter Kenyon's tone this time obviously meant something else, but after he finished speaking, he confessed and left.

This sentence sounded to Mourinho, it seemed to be sarcastic and sarcastic that he had no experience in the Champions League, so he attached great importance to his opponents, and he was nervous to come to the draw ceremony, but he didn't want to come at all, but Da Costa and Mendes both felt that this kind of occasion should be used to praise the UEFA field.

"Don't look at it, he obviously won't take us seriously" Jorge Mendes saw Mourinho staring at Peter Kenyon viciously, and a wry smile broke out at the corner of his mouth, obviously feeling that Mourinho was angry with Peter Kenyon for his taboo against Ye Qiu.

Speaking of which, the relationship between people is indeed complicated enough, especially like Mourinho, who seems to be arrogant on the surface, but in the eyes of people like Mendes, who have watched him go up and down in the past few years and have experienced all kinds of things, he is very inferior and fragile In the hearts of people who treat a person, their emotions are often very complex and difficult for outsiders to understand.

Mourinho's arrogance is disguised, and he actually has a low self-esteem.

But beware, inferiority complex here is not a derogatory term, but only a description of a person's state of mind.

Many people also say that Ye Qiu is very inferior, because he comes from a weak football country and has been looked down upon since he came to Europe, so he has an inferiority complex in his bones, but what he embodies is tenacious and unyielding arrogance.

The same is true for Mourinho, in Mendes's opinion, he actually has a lot of similarities with Ye Qiu, but the interesting thing is that the two seem to be incompatible, and as long as Ye Qiu is mentioned in front of Mourinho, the Portuguese face will definitely make you deeply understand what it means to have knife-like eyes.

But what no one knows is that Mourinho watched dozens of Chelsea home games before the two-legged knockout game against Manchester United, and he has always kept an eye on Chelsea in the past, but his reason and excuse is that he cares about his old player Deco.

I don't understand, it's really incomprehensible

Mendes shook his head with a bitter smile in his heart, and if he didn't understand it, he wouldn't understand it, just let it be

After waiting in the hall for a while, the lottery began at half past one.

Among the eight teams, Chelsea, Arsenal, Real Madrid, and AC Milan are recognized as the four strongest teams among all teams, among which the Premier League duo is needless to say, the only two unbeaten teams in Europe in the past six months, and many have listed them as the favorites to win the Champions League this season.

Real Madrid's strength has declined a lot this season, especially the transfer of Makelele, which has caused a very serious problem in the back of the horse, coupled with the decline in strength caused by the departure of Hierro in the backline, and the aging of the superstars in the midfield, which have become the most serious problems of Real Madrid at present.

But there is a good saying, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Real Madrid, no matter how bad it is, is still one of the strongest teams in Europe.

As for AC Milan, Carlo Ancelotti's side have greatly improved the speed and efficiency of their midfield this season after acquiring Kaka, and the Brazilian has become one of the hottest top stars in football today.

The final draw was a surprise as Chelsea drew Arsenal and Real Madrid drew Monaco, with the two teams gathered in the top half, with Porto meeting Lyon and AC Milan drawing Deportivo La Coruna, who were in the bottom half.

As soon as the draw results came out, everyone in the venue immediately started talking, and Peter Kenyon's face became even more ugly, because no one would have imagined that the two Premier League teams known as the most promising champions would face each other in advance.

It's strange to say that Chelsea have met Arsenal twice this season, both of which have been draws, which shows the quality of these two teams.

"You say, the result of such a draw is not against Chelsea, who believes it?" Mendes said a little amusedly.

Three of the four strongest teams are in the top half, and Chelsea and Arsenal are scheduled to fight each other in advance, while Real Madrid have become a defensive line in the semi-finals, which is already obvious, placing the teams most likely to limit Chelsea in the top half.

Not to mention, if teams such as Lyon, Monaco, and Porto are allowed to play Chelsea, it is purely looking for death, and even Ancelotti can't help it, because Ancelotti's results in meeting Ye Qiu are not ideal, and Serie A teams have always been more afraid of Premier League teams.

"If the strength is strong enough, it is useless for anyone to target," Mourinho replied coldly.

Mendes wanted to retort, you took advantage, of course he said that, but he didn't say it in the end, because this draw is the most beneficial for Porto, Lyon is the only team that is better than Monaco and weaker than Monaco among all teams, and as for Deportivo La Coruna, Super Laco is still there.

Therefore, for Porto, it is not very difficult to enter the semi-finals, the key is to cross the semi-finals.

In Mendes's heart, he would also think, can't he really be so evil?

Ye Qiu also won the League Cup in the first year, the semi-finals in the second year, and the Champions League in the third year.

Just as Mendes was thinking, he saw Mourinho suddenly stand up and walk towards Peter Kenyon, who was not far away.

The Portuguese stood in front of Peter Kenyon, still with a cold face, "Go back and tell Ye Qiu that I will wait for him in the final"

"I'm waiting for you in the final"

In Ye Qiu's office at the Harrington training base, Peter Kenyon, who rushed back to London from Nyon, Switzerland, was relaying Mourinho's words.

There is a good saying, the three become tigers, there was not so much hatred in Mourinho's tone, but because Peter Kenyon didn't like Mourinho, he naturally substituted some emotions, and it became a deep tone.

Of course, Peter Kenyon didn't mean it, he didn't care to do such a small trick, but he did it inadvertently, not his personal conscious behavior.

"Why didn't you slap him directly at that time, and then suck at him, and then asked him very forcefully, like me, get away, and wait until you get to the finals" Roland also deliberately learned Ye Qiu's retort after hearing Peter Kenyon's words.

Everyone in the whole office couldn't help but laugh, especially Luo Fatzi, who felt funny no matter how he looked at it.

"Porto's strength is still very strong, Lyon can't trap him, AC Milan and Deportivo may not be" Ye Qiu is very calm, because he knows very well that AC Milan will fall at the feet of Deportivo La Coruna, and Super Laco will also fall at the feet of Porto.

Although AC Milan has got Kaka this season and the strength of the midfield has made a qualitative leap, Ancelotti is still familiar with and adjusting the operation of the team, that is to say, the entire operation mechanism of AC Milan is not mature enough, and many places still need to be further run-in, and the shortcomings of this team are also relatively obvious, and they are still on the side.

And you have to know that from last year's control flow play, to this year's addition of Kaka, adding some changes, AC Milan's adjustment is a kind of progress, but it still needs to be further integrated and formed, after all, improvements and reforms cannot be achieved overnight.

Ye Qiu's Chelsea can take shape in a summer, a very important reason is that the Chelsea team, especially the midfield, is a group of very experienced stars, these stars know very well, and they are also very good at adapting to the new environment and new teammates, and the run-in is relatively fast, and Ye Qiu's division of labor is also very meticulous.

If it is a group of younger rookies, after such a big change as Chelsea, don't expect results in a season.

Playing the Champions League knockout round is different from playing the league, the knockout round is more targeted, as long as you have obvious loopholes, then you may be sniped by the opponent, and the reason why Chelsea does not have a very effective way to take Arsenal is because Arsenal does not have too obvious loopholes, both teams are very balanced, and neither can take the other

"You say, is UEFA really planning to kill us?" Tengkart was a little worried.

Ye Qiu smiled after hearing this, but Roland took the lead, "Do you need to say this?" When I was at Ajax last year, there was already a crazy rumor outside, saying that UEFA was going to kill us, but when it came to the worst, who did whom? ”

Many people are even speculating that it was because they couldn't do Ye Qiu and Ajax last season, which caused UEFA to lose face, so they were reluctant to award the two major coaching awards to Ye Qiu, but no one knew anything about it, and they could only rely on yin's strategy.

Ye Qiu has always believed in one thing, things in the world realm cannot be fully believed in yin conspiracy, but it cannot be completely without yin conspiracy.

In the words of the ancestors, there is no wind, where is the wave?

"No matter who we meet, as long as we are strong enough, we can still advance, and if we are not strong enough, even if you advance, you can reach the finals? Can you win the championship? Ye Qiu said with a proud smile.

"I'm thinking now, let Mourinho's arrogant guy make such a cruel remark in front of him, should I make a phone call and also make a cruel remark?" Ye Qiu smiled boredly.

Sure enough, everyone in the office almost fell down, how boring would it be for such a childish thing to be?

Chelsea continued their unbeaten league run with a 0-0 win at Bolton Wanderers on 13 March.

The Blues conceded a goal in the last round of last season, when Claudio Ranieri's side lost to West Ham United, so Chelsea's unbeaten record so far so far is a total of P games.

Arsenal also beat Souness Blackburn 0 in this game, and the Gunners conceded three goals at home to Leeds United in the 37th round, but because the 33rd round of the league is behind, they are technically more unbeaten in the league than Chelsea, that is, 30.

The competition between the two Premier League teams is so fierce, which naturally makes the whole world fans pay attention, but Manchester United is not good, Ferguson's team was eliminated from the Champions League, morale was hit, 4 away to Manchester City, lost this city derby, and it seems that the possibility of competing for the title has been completely lost.

Not to mention, the battle between Arsenal and Chelsea seems to be really close.

A week later, Chelsea played a game at home to Fulham in the Premier League first round, and a day later, Arsenal hosted Bolton Wanderers, and with the 90th minute still being L, Arsene Wenger roared loudly from the sidelines, only to bring in Spanish rookie Reyes during the winter break and come off the bench to score the winning goal for Arsenal at a crucial moment.

Both teams have scored and conceded two consecutive games, which has also caused jokes among England fans that if it continues like this, maybe both teams will really have to maintain this unbeaten record until the end of the season.

After the round, the first leg of the Champions League knockout stage was ushered in in midweek, with Chelsea taking on Arsenal away.

The fixture schedule is clearly in Chelsea's favour, not only because they have an extra day off than Arsenal, but also because Arsenal are facing bitter rivals Manchester United at the weekend, which is a crucial highlight, and if Arsenal lose at home, the Gunners will be in a very dangerous position, while Chelsea are relatively against Wolves

Ye Qiu is obviously not worried, because for him, playing Highbury away will be a very interesting thing, I believe that Wenger must have a headache at this moment, because if the main team is arranged to play Chelsea, then it will become very dangerous to play Manchester United on the weekend, but if it is the other way around, the main team will play Manchester United, and it will definitely be swallowed by Chelsea in the middle of the week.

At the end of the day, it's the team's bench lineup that's not big enough.

It seems that Ye Qiu, for the midweek game, even Davies, Ronaldinho and others are resting when they play Fulham, because Chelsea's bench is enough to sè.

The league, or the Champions League, I believe Wenger should make a difficult choice
