"That's right, it's Dynamo Kyiv." Seeing the surprised expressions of Karin and Little Groz, Zhuang Mingge, who felt good, said triumphantly.

"Antonio, why are you optimistic about Dynamo Kyiv?" It was still Grozzi Jr. who was the first to jump out and expressed doubts about Zhuang Mingge's opinion, "Arsenal, Inter Milan and Liverpool, which of the three teams is not more famous than it, in terms of the number and quality of stars, this Ukrainian team is not dominant...... What is it about it that deserves such a different look at it? ”

"Although Dynamo Kyiv, its biggest advantage over the other seven teams is that it has a world-class manager." In response to the question raised by Little Groz, Zhuang Mingge quickly answered and said.

"Tony, are you talking about Coach Valery Lobanovsky?"

"Exactly, you must not underestimate the role of a good manager." Zhuang Mingge said seriously, "As the saying goes, if there is a soldier, there will be a nest of bears." If you don't have a great manager to lead the team, it won't help you have a lot of good players. ”

"But Arsene Wenger, Robson and Houllier are all very good managers." Little Groz didn't seem to want to admit defeat so lightly, and was still there trying to retort.

However, Groz Jr. apparently didn't notice that she inadvertently excluded Inter Milan coach Simeone from the category of "excellent manager".

"Yes, they are very good managers, but compared to Lobanovski, Wenger and Houllier are much less mentally resilient, and they often wilt themselves when it is their turn to boost morale; The elder Robson is not weaker than Lobanovsky in terms of ability, but it is a pity that the overall strength of Eindhoven, who has lost blood, is not at all comparable to the Kiev Dynamo that Lobanovsky has painstakingly built for many years. ”

While Zhuang Mingge explained to Karin and Little Groz the reasons why he was optimistic about Dynamo Kyiv, the draw ceremony was also going on in an orderly manner.

In the top half, in addition to the aforementioned Liverpool and Monaco, the remaining three pairings have also been released: Ajax's opponents are the Bianconeri Juventus, Inter Milan and Kaiserslautern with Inter Milan veteran Sforza have been drawn, and Manchester United and Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven will meet in the quarter-finals.

The grouping of the lower half is clearly more gimmicky than the upper half. Real Madrid met the dark horse team Dynamo Kyiv predicted by Zhuang Mingge, and whether the La Liga giants can overcome the freezing weather in Ukraine in early March will be key to these two legs; Bayern Munich met Benfica in the quarter-finals, with Rui Costa, who moved from Fiorentina to Bundesliga Hollywood this season, set to play his parent club in the round of 16; Parma's opponent is the Portuguese Super League giants Porto, and the debut of the Milk Army led by stars such as Crespo, Cannavaro, and Buffon is the biggest attraction of this matchup!

In this way, the last Fiorentina who has not yet been assigned is naturally drawn to the last position in the bottom half of the field, and the opponent is Arsenal guessed by Zhuang Mingge!

Seeing this result, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help laughing, while Karin and Little Groz turned their heads to look at him at the same time, with incredible expressions on their faces.

"You actually guessed it again by Tony...... Karin couldn't remember how many times she was speechless about the accuracy of Zhuang Mingge's prediction, "Although there are factors in Beckenbauer that explained to you in advance, you can't help but guess too accurately, right?" ”

"Well, it's not a big deal, as long as you master the method, the result can be easily guessed." Zhuang Mingge scratched the back of his head and explained to Karin, "After all, among these eight teams, there are only three teams that are not much worse than Fiorentina, and Inter Milan is impossible to meet us because of the principle of avoiding the national team." As a result, only two options remain, Liverpool and Arsenal. ”

"Moreover, in the group stage of last season's Champions League, Liverpool were our Fiorentina underdogs, and one summer was not enough to make a drastic change in the overall quality of the Reds, while Arsene Wenger led Arsenal to break Manchester United's dream of a third consecutive league title last season and win the league and FA Cup double." After listening to Zhuang Mingge's narration, Karin, who suddenly realized it, was quite clever to put this theory into practice, "Therefore, considering this, UEFA is very likely to exclude Liverpool and let Arsenal, which seems to be the most reliable, deal with us." ”

At this time, Wenger, who had also learned the result of the draw, smiled and walked towards Zhuang Mingge's location, apparently planning to recount his friendship with his old acquaintance.

"Yo, isn't this Arcena?" Seeing Wenger take the initiative to come over to greet him, Zhuang Mingge, who knew that he couldn't be rude on this occasion, greeted warmly, and at the same time made a small joke by the way, "I didn't expect my Fiorentina to draw together with your Arsenal this time, and I hope you can save me a little face in the game for the sake of our friends for many years, don't let Fiorentina lose too ugly, how about it?" ”

Hearing Zhuang Mingge's undisciplined words, Wenger almost fainted without breathing, and said in his heart that your Fiorentina is much better than my Arsenal in any way. When the time comes, Arsenal will not be directly packed and taken away by Fiorentina, I should burn high incense, and say let me save some face for Fiorentina in the game, so that you don't lose too ugly? It's okay to joke and not bring such a thing!

"Haha, Antonio, you're really joking, who doesn't know that Fiorentina is the best team in Europe?" Wenger, who roared in his heart, barely managed to hold his mind, and at the same time squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "I came to look for you this time, but I want you to help with Capello."

"Well, Arsène, I'm afraid I can't help it." Hearing Wenger's request, Zhuang Mingge spread his hands and said helplessly, "Although Coach Capello is my employee, he is fully responsible for the affairs of the team, and I, the boss, have no say in this regard." ”

"Oh, that's a pity, I hope Coach Capello can let me go with reason and let us not lose too badly." Wenger shrugged his shoulders and said in a regretful tone.

Subsequently, Wenger and Zhuang Mingge exchanged views on other topics before leaving.

"Tony, it looks like Coach Wenger is deliberately showing weakness in front of us so that we can take Arsenal lightly, and he can profit from the game." Looking at the back of Wenger leaving, Karin said.

"Hehe, of course I can see this." Zhuang Mingge smiled and agreed, "Wenger is indeed a first-class player in running the team, but he is still too immature in terms of playing psychological warfare. Such a simple strategy, let alone the scheming head coach of our team, even I would not be fooled. ”
