Mixed with pleasure and pain, the short vacation soon ends, and Tang Jue and Alice return to Paris. When she left, Alice was still a little reluctant, and the strong family atmosphere made her nostalgic.

Back in Paris, the two began to live a fast-paced life again. Tang has endless games, and Alice has endless catwalks. After Tang Yuantian's short training, Alice's cooking skills in Sichuan cuisine have improved rapidly, and Tang Jue eats with satisfaction every time, praising Alice from time to time at the table.

The two slept together in Lyon for nine days, and when they returned to Paris, Alice began to change slightly. She no longer allowed Tang Jue to casually enter her room. Tang Jue had a lot of opinions about this, and Alice said to him: "You told me that there is an old Chinese saying that 'men and women do not kiss each other'. ”

Tang Jue looked at Alice suspiciously, he didn't remember that he had said this to Alice.

On January 7, the round of 16 of the Champions League was drawn and divided into eight pairs: Bayern and Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, PSV Eindhoven and Monaco, Real Madrid and Juventus, Bremen and Lyon, Barcelona and Chelsea, Manchester United and Inter Milan, Saint-Germain and Ac Milan.

After a tough group stage competition, there is not a single underdog in the round of 16. Many of the matchups are between the giants, with Barcelona vs Chelsea and Real Madrid vs Juventus being the most eye-catching.

The team report analysed the three French teams, and they are optimistic about Lyon and Monaco, with Lyon being strong and still sure of winning Bremen. As runners-up in the last Champions League, Monaco has a wealth of European experience, and a win over PSV Eindhoven is not out of the question.

According to the team newspaper, the situation of Saint-Germain is the most serious of the three teams, and AC Milan are now very good in terms of player configuration and form. As Kaka matures, AC Milan's attacking capabilities have become more and more powerful. Saint-Germain are very unlikely to climb the mountain of Ac Milan.

……

Subsequently, UEFA announced the match time for the round of 16, and the Champions League round of 16 will start on February 23. Saint-Germain have seven Ligue 1 games to play before they play AC Milan. If they can knock out their opponents in the French Cup, they will play four more French Cup games.

On January 13, Ligue 1 restarted, Saint-Germain's injured main force gradually returned, and the twentieth round of Ligue 1, Saint-Germain and Caen match, the main left side of the back Arman recovered from injury, and in the twenty-second round of Ligue 1, in the game with Etienne, the main right forward Mbami recovered from injury......

With the return of the main team, Saint-Germain is full of confidence. They had won four and drawn three of their seven Ligue 1 matches before their last-16 tie with AC Milan, but Lyon were in better form with five wins and two draws. Widen the difference between the two sides to seven points. If Saint-Germain are to challenge Lyon for Ligue 1 dominance, they will need to perform even better.

Saint-Germain is not without good news, as they have managed to climb to second place in the Ligue 1 table.

Another piece of good news is that in the French Cup, Saint-Germain managed to reach the round of 16 of the French Cup after four knockout games. Lyon abandoned the French Cup in order to perform well in the Champions League, and they were kept out of the round of 16 by Marseille.

The reason why Saint-Germain did not give up the French Cup is because they know that in the Champions League, it is difficult to climb the mountain of Ac Milan, and Lyon has been strong in Ligue 1. Saint-Germain's favourites to win the trophy this season are the French Cup.

With Pauletta's return, the happy and troubled Wayd Alilozik is constantly adjusting his forward partner. Reinaldo had the most playing time of the three, and his header advantage gave him an advantage over the competition. For a long time, Pauletta and Don had to share another place to play.

As the playing time decreased, so did Tang's goal tally, and before the winter break, he played a total of eight games in Ligue 1, scoring a total of 12 goals. In the seven games since the winter break, he has scored just five goals, and the number of goals scored and the percentage of goals scored have dropped significantly.

What makes Tang Jue happy is that as of the 26th round of Ligue 1, he has climbed to the first place in the scorer list with 17 goals. The media gave high praise to the top scorer list. In 15 Ligue 1 games, 17 goals were scored, and the goal rate of Chinese forwards reached 1.13, which is a shocking statistic.

……

At 7 p.m. on February 24, at the Parc des Princes Stadium, Saint-Germain and AC Milan played the Champions League round of 16.

There were no surprises in the pre-match media predictions for the match, and even the French media agreed that AC Milan would dominate the game. Saint-Germain's unbeaten run at home is the best outcome.

The mighty AC Milan, who won the Champions League trophy in 2003, are in their prime. Last year, they won 4-4 against Deportivo La Coruna at the San Siro Stadium. Just when people thought they would make it to the last four, they lost 4-0 at home to Deportivo La Coruna, and ended up in the last eight with fewer away goals than their opponents.

They came back strong again this year, beating La Liga giants Barcelona in the group stage to advance to the round of 16 by winning the group. Their goal for this year's Champions League is to win the title!

AC Milan is like a mountain, and Saint-Germain is a cheap mountain bike, and to climb this mountain, Saint-Germain can only pray for a miracle.

As predicted by the media, AC Milan, who were at their peak, broke the deadlock in the first fifteen minutes. Ukrainian striker Sheva received a pass from Kaka after breaking through in front of the penalty area, and after a slight adjustment, Sheva pulled his foot and fired a furious shot from outside the box, like a cannonball, through Letizi's five fingers, and flew into the net.

The bigger blow came twenty minutes later, when Kaka took a direct free-kick and fired a fierce shot from just outside the Saint-Germain box to blast past Letici's goalkeeper again.

AC Milan are more than a notch above Saint-Germain in terms of quality. Now they were even more relaxed than the media had predicted before the game, with a two-goal lead in the first half.

AC Milan went into the break with a 2-0 scoreline. Before the start of the second half, as soon as Wayd Alilozik walked into the stadium, the Saint-Germain fans began to shout Tang Jue's name: "Don! Tang Dynasty! Tang Dynasty! ”。

This is because Tang Jue has been sitting on the bench in the first half.

Ten minutes into the second half, Tang Jue finally walked to the sidelines. The Saint-Germain fans seemed to have found a savior, and they collectively stood up and applauded Tang Jue. These applause were like war drums, and the blood in Tang Jue's veins began to flow faster, like the rushing water of the Yangtze River.

With the fire of war burning in his eyes, he will be stronger when he challenges the strong.

At this time, there was a bald head sitting in the VIP seat, and a gleam flashed in Galliani's eyes. The AC Milan vice-president came here tonight for two purposes, one is to cheer on his team, and the other is to see how the Chinese striker is performing.

Three days before this match, Galliani will raise the offer to Saint-Germain to 12 million euros, and he wants to buy the Chinese striker. His offer is two million higher than Real Madrid's. Shepchenko, a Ukrainian, is in Milan and his heart is at Chelsea, and Galliani is very annoyed by this. He now has to think about who will take the place that will remain after Sheva leaves.

Tang Jue's excellent performance in the Champions League made him excited. When he was about to make an offer to Saint-Germain, Tang Jue hit his own low point, failing to score a goal in three consecutive games.

Even the greatest striker will have a low ebb period, but Tang Jue's low ebb period is not a problem of state, but a problem of technical bottlenecks.

Galliani, whose eyes were like fire, couldn't see it, so he took back the quotation form that was about to be handed out. After these three games, Tang Jue suddenly broke out, and in the match with Sochaux, he scored a hat-trick in just 70 minutes. Galliani cautiously kept a wait-and-see approach.

On the third day of Saint-Germain's match against CSKA, AC Milan quoted their first price, €7 million. Saint-Germain directly rejected AC Milan, their price was too low, and Real Madrid had already bid to 10 million. Instead of blindly raising the offer, Galliani chose to continue to observe.

Tang has scored five goals in seven Ligue 1 games since the winter break. So he quoted a second price three days ago, 12 million euros. It is absolutely extremely rare for a seventeen-year-old player to give 12 million euros. When AC Milan bought Kaka, it only cost six million dollars.

The de facto ruler of AC Milan tonight will be watching Tang Jue's performance at the Parc des Princes Stadium. See for yourself if the Chinese striker can fill the position left by Sheva, and see for yourself whether the Chinese striker is worth the 12 million euros he offered.

……

Ancelotti looked at Tang Jue who was standing on the sidelines, and hurriedly walked from the bench chair to the command area. He called Gattuso to the sidelines and whispered a few words, Gattuso kept nodding, and two fierce gazes appeared in his eyes, shooting towards Tang Jue.

Looking at Tang Jue on the sidelines, a sharp flashing in the eyes of Dewu standing on the court. Midfielder Boskovic had joy in his eyes. Reinaldo has a big mouth, showing white teeth, and his goal rate has increased significantly in the match with Tang Jue.

Pauletta looked at the number plate held up in the fourth official's hand, and ran to Tang Jue from the front court a little lonely. The applause from the home fans was not for him, but for the Chinese striker who replaced him. In the applause, Pauletta hugged Tang Jue, and he whispered in Tang Jue's ear: "Come on!" ”

Wayd Alilozik kept Reinaldo on the pitch because he wanted to keep Reinaldo's high point. Let Reinaldo attract the attention of Milan defenders and leave more space for Tang Jue.

This pair of strikers with one high and one fast have performed well in the Champions League. It was the striker's performance in the final game of the group that saw Saint-Germain advance to the last 16 with a 4-2 win over CSKA at the Luzhniki Stadium.

Tang Jue's fighting spirit is like fire now, and he doesn't feel Pauletta's loneliness at all. He said firmly in Pauletta's ear: "I will break through the gate guarded by Dida!" The loneliness in Pauletta's eyes is even worse!

Walking into the playing field, Tang Jue's first Champions League knockout match began!
