Unlike the German media, the Chinese media are not only focusing on the performances of the two Bundesliga teams Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 in the Champions League, they also focus on Atletico Madrid. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Atletico Madrid have performed well after reaching the Champions League this season, and they are on par with Bayern Munich, with both teams finishing with the same number of points, but they are not as good as Bayern Munich in second place.

But such results are also good for the Chinese media.

Why does the Chinese media pay attention to Atletico Madrid?

Because Atletico Madrid has Chinese players.

Sun Pan, a player on loan from Chelsea to Atletico Madrid, is in his final season at Atletico Madrid. If nothing else, with his good performances, he will definitely be repossessed by Chelsea when his loan expires.

Although he is a player who will leave Atletico Madrid in the future, Sun Pan has worked very hard in the game, giving his all in every game to help the team win.

In the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid has not lost again except for the first group stage game away to Bayern Munich 1-2. Twelve goals have been scored in six group games, which is only fewer than Bayern Munich, but only two goals conceded, the fewest in the group.

They also conceded the second-fewest goals of all 32 teams in the group stage, behind Paris Saint-Germain who conceded just one.

In addition to Atletico Madrid's overall excellent performance, Sun Pan's performance in front of the goal is also great.

Having entered the knockout round of the Champions League as the second in the group, the three Chinese players will go further in the Champions League, which also gives Chinese fans thousands of miles away to look forward to next year's Champions League match day. For them, staying up late to watch football is not just to cheer for the club team they support, but they will also pay more attention to the Chinese, even if his team is not their favorite team, they will definitely stay in front of the TV.

In fact, there is also a Chinese player who participated in the Champions League, He Ying was included in Barcelona's Champions League squad by Vilanova at the beginning of the season.

But it's a pity that after six group stage games, He Ying didn't get the chance to play in the Champions League, so the Champions League has nothing to do with him.

Not to mention the Champions League, he has never been given a chance to play in the league. His only chance to play at Barcelona came in the Copa del Rey, coming off the bench for five minutes without a performance, but those five minutes really didn't give him much of a chance to perform.

So much so that He Ying played in the Copa del Rey, and the reaction in China was not very strong, because there was really nothing to brag about in the five-minute soy sauce fight......

Under the backdrop of Sun Pan, Yang Muge and Sun Pan, He Ying seemed to be a failure.

Guo Nu is because he is in Siena, so he has no chance to play in the Champions League, but he is also the main player in Siena, as long as he is not suspended for fouls, he is never absent.

It is rumored that Inter Milan regretted his performance in Siena and are considering negotiating with Siena to buy back the ownership of Guo Nu in Siena.

If that's the case, then Guo Nu will have a chance to participate in the Champions League. No matter how good Siena is, but the strength is limited, and if you want to participate in the Champions League, it is almost impossible.

After the Champions League group stage was over, UEFA held a draw for the round of 16. This draw ceremony has attracted much attention, after all, this is the draw of the knockout round, which is more confrontational and easier to have strong conversations. For participating teams, a single draw could decide their fate this season.

A team like Shakhtar Donetsk, if they meet Barcelona, their Champions League journey this season will definitely stop there.

There are also some rules for the draw for the round of 16, such as the first team in the group meets the second in the group, teams in the same group cannot meet, and teams in the same national league cannot meet.

Therefore, Dortmund will definitely not meet Paris Saint-Germain in Group A, Schalke 04 in Group B, Malaga in Group C, Juventus in Group D, Bayern Munich in Group F, Barcelona in Group G, and Manchester United in Group H in the round of 16.

Moreover, these eight teams also include Schalke 04 and Bayern Munich in the same national league, plus Real Madrid, who are second in the same group, will not meet.

So in fact, there are only seven teams left that can meet Dortmund. But in fact, this time, it is not the seeded team that hesitates to have a few group winners, so even if Dortmund meets the second place in the group, it may not be a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch.

The second place in Group A is Portugal's Porto, the second place in Group B is the seeded team Arsenal, the second place in Group C is the seeded team AC Milan, and the second place in Group E is Shakhtar Donetsk - the defending champion Chelsea upset the group and finished third with the Shakhtar team because the relationship between wins and losses is not advantageous, and was squeezed out of the round of 16 and can only go to the League Cup knockout round - the second in Group F is Atletico Madrid, the second in Group G is Celtic, and the second in Group H is Galatasaray.

Three of the remaining seven teams are seeded, and the second squad in this group is also very strong.

Before the draw ceremony, a reporter interviewed Zhou Yi and asked him if he wanted to avoid the seeded teams in the second place in the group. In this regard, Zhou Yi said that he entered the knockout round of the Champions League, and no team was easy to play. So he doesn't care which opponent he meets, anyway, it's the same with whoever he meets.

But the reporter insisted that he predict the result, perhaps because the "wizard" was famous before, and everyone wanted to see how accurate his prediction was this time.

Zhou Yi couldn't help it, so he had to say: "It's hard to say who I want to draw with, there are too many teams, but if I want to say it, I don't want to be separated from Atletico Madrid." ”

As soon as he said this, the reporters' eyes lit up: "Why?" they hurriedly asked.

"Because Sun Pan is at Atletico Madrid, I still hope that Chinese players can go further in the Champions League. Zhou Yi said very seriously.

Yang Muge's Schalke 04 is the first in the group, and it will definitely not be touched. He Ying's Barcelona will definitely not be able to meet him, and he may not be able to play if he does.

Of the teams that Dortmund could face, only Atletico Madrid have Chinese players.

His reason is quite convincing, because the Chinese reporters do not want the teams of the Chinese players to meet too soon, if possible, of course, they hope that all three teams can reach the semi-finals, and then three of the semi-finals will have Chinese players, which is simply a "Chinese civil war"!

With such good wishes and expectations, everyone waited for the draw ceremony for the round of 16 of the Champions League.

Compared to the Champions League group stage draw and grouping ceremony with a medal ceremony, the draw for the round of 16 is much simpler.

Soon, the results of the draw were released in turn.

Borussia Dortmund were drawn with Shakhtar Donetsk, avoiding Atletico Madrid perfectly, and the Chinese players did not have to kill each other when they had just reached the round of 16.

Yang Muge's Schalke 04 drew Galatasaray, the strength of this team is not very strong, Schalke 04 has the ability to fight with one, play better, and it is not out of reach to enter the quarterfinals.

As for Atletico Madrid, where Sun Pan is located, he was assigned to Paris Saint-Germain.

He Ying's Barcelona opponent is AC Milan, this is a strong conversation, but it may have nothing to do with He Ying......

The other quarter-final matches are Juventus vs. Celtic, Manchester United vs. Real Madrid, Bayern Munich vs. Arsenal and Malaga vs. Porto.

In addition to not being very satisfied with the draw result of Bayern Munich, the German media can accept the draw results of Dortmund and Schalke 04. Dortmund, in particular, was called by the media as "drawn to the top".

Shakhtar Donetsk should be considered the weakest team in the round of 16, everyone wants to be "friends" with them, and in the end, Dortmund got their wish and basically guaranteed to reach the last eight.

Some media ridiculed Dortmund's biggest suspense now is who their opponent is in the quarterfinals.

However, Klopp said with a straight face in an interview that there is no weak team in the top 16, and any opponent must be taken seriously and cannot be underestimated.

After the Champions League draw, the teams ushered in the league matches.

In the 16th round of the league, Dortmund faced Wolfsburg at home, and the two sides fought against each other in this game, and finally Dortmund defeated Wolfsburg 3:2 at home.

However, thanks to Bayern Munich's 2-0 win away at Augsburg, they have already won the halfway round with a four-point lead over Borussia Dortmund. This is the hot topic of German football, and the Munich media has begun to celebrate.

In German football, the half-way title is very significant, with 80 per cent of league titles coming from half-way winners.

Therefore, being able to win the halfway championship means that the hope of winning the league is very high.

That's why the Munich talent values this "champion" with no trophy and two medals.

Yang Muge's Schalke 04 lost 1:3 away to Stuttgart, and this season is soaring in the Champions League, which has a great impact on the league. Now that they have reached the knockout stage, Schalke 04's coach Stevens may have to think more about how to ensure that by the end of the season, Schalke 04 will still be in the top four in the league and qualify for next season's Champions League.

There is still the last round of the league, and after the game, the Bundesliga will enter the winter break, and the players should take a vacation and repair.

However, those teams who have reached the quarter-finals of the German Cup will have to take a break a little later to play another German Cup.

Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 are among them. (To be continued.) )
