The cold wind is howling, and the winter in Croatia is still so cold.

For fans of Dinamo Zagreb, they experienced an all-time low two years ago.

They were desperate for a season.

But the bottoming out came just as quickly.

In just one season, they regained the league title and gave a shout out to Europe this season.

The cry crossed the Alps and resounded throughout the heart of Europe.

No one believed before the game that this group of youngsters had taken this unsuccessful team to the knockout stages of the Champions League.

In the bag of Real Madrid, Roma and Bayer Leverkusen, they fought their way out.

What an amazing feat they have performed!

Dinamo Zagreb!!

Dinamo Zagreb!!

Dinamo Zagreb!!

The cold wind can't take away the fire in my heart.

It is a full 20 kilometers from the airport to the city.

On both sides stood citizens from Zagreb.

In addition to the fans, there are also many ordinary citizens who don't usually pay much attention to football.

At this moment, they are all gathered here.

The city hall sent a police car and two police horses to escort the whole process.

Inside the bus, Su Ke and the others looked at the scenery on both sides.

The fans put their arms around each other's shoulders and they bounced.

In the cold wind, under the heavy snow, they tirelessly shouted the name of 'Dinamo Zagreb'.

Yes!

At this moment, football has transcended itself.

Dinamo Zagreb represents not just one team, but the city of Zagreb, as well as the Croatian league.

The crowd formed a long line that spread all the way to the city and all the way to their training base.

When the bus entered the training base, these young people came back to their senses.

"It's spectacular!"

Srna couldn't help but sigh.

Modric and the others also nodded heavily.

They saw that look of anticipation in the eyes of these fans.

Unlike the moment when they just reached the Champions League, at this moment, these fans also have more thirst.

On December 9, the Champions League group stage was over.

The Champions League round of 16 has been announced.

Group A: Monaco, Liverpool.

Group B: Dinamo Zagreb, Real Madrid.

Group C: Juventus, Bayern Munich.

Group D: Lyon, Manchester United.

Group E: Arsenal, PSV Eindhoven.

Group F: AC Milan, Barcelona.

Group G: Inter Milan, Werder Bremen.

Group H: Chelsea, Porto.

As Dinamo Zagreb are the top finishers in their group, their opponents will be second in the group from the other groups.

But looking at these lists, which of these groups is second to play?

"Why does the second place in the group feel so strong? Isn't there a team like Yerevan Phoenix? Dujmovic's scalp tingled when he looked at it.

It feels like it's a headache for any team to draw.

"The Champions League is in the knockout stage, how can there be a weak team, don't think about good things!"

The knockout stages of the Champions League started with a dialogue between the best and the best.

There is no real weak team, only a relative weakness.

Who's in better shape.

Who's playing better.

These can be the key to promotion.

Boban was right.

The Champions League is a long season and in this brutal schedule, you have to work harder to secure a win.

Learning, growth, and adjustment are indispensable.

For Suker, in the round of 16 of the Champions League, as long as he does not pick AC Milan and Liverpool.

These two teams, one is currently the dominant team in the entire football world.

The other is the fastest adjustment in the Champions League, starting from the qualifying round, all the way to the final, and even staged the famous scene of 'Istanbul Night'.

Encountering these two teams is almost the equivalent of raising the white flag and surrendering.

The rest of the teams are not without hope of touching it!

Since the group stage of the Champions League, Dinamo Zagreb has also played with confidence.

Especially after six rounds of group play, they are constantly making adjustments and even growing, and Suker believes that the current Dinamo Zagreb is no longer the same as it was at the beginning of the season.

And, they will continue to grow.

"The draw is about to begin!"

Srna suddenly shouted.

Everyone immediately held their breath.

Everyone was nervous at this moment.

At the same time, in bars and homes across Zagreb, fans watched nervously at the draw on television.

They hope Dinamo Zagreb can draw a relatively good draw.

The results of the first round of the draw appeared.

Juventus vs Real Madrid.

The crowd grinned.

Exciting!

Juventus vs. Galaxy with players such as Trezeguet, Ibrahimovic, Piero, Cannavaro and more.

The second round was even more gasp-inducing.

The current Premier League hegemon Arsenal vs Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

Rounds of draws come down.

The Dinamo Zagreb players felt their whole body tremble.

All of these teams are as strong as they can be.

It wasn't until the fifth round of the draw that the Saghrab Dinamo emblem finally appeared.

"It's coming!"

At this moment, everyone is focused.

Under their watchful eye, the team they need to play against appears.

The team emblem is written in yellow on a red background, and there is a trident in the shield in the middle.

This is the emblem of passion, strength and victory.

From the English Premier League, the Manchester United team that has been given the name of the 'Red Devils'!

"Manchester United?"

Dujmovic wiped his eyes, he couldn't believe it: "We're going to play Manchester United? ”

Others are also silent.

Manchester United!

Under the stewardship of the old Scottish man, the team is known for its iron and tenacity.

Their game is always so enthusiastic and domineering.

It's hard to beat a team like that.

Even Suke was silent at this point.

Although I thought that the Champions League knockout stage would start and the game would become more intense, I didn't expect it to be Manchester United.

After being silent for a long time, head coach Becic turned his head and clapped his hands; "Okay, let's go back and rest today, and when we finish the next game, we will enter the winter break, so we can rest during this time, adjust our bodies to the best stage, and then face the next Champions League knockout round."

Even Besic is mentally bottomless at this time.

The rest of the teams are fine.

But can you really win against Manchester United?

This team isn't so good at upset!

Meanwhile, in England, the training base of Manchester United.

The famous Carrington Nine.

When Manchester United drew Dinamo Zagreb, there was a sudden burst of cheers in the tactics room.

"Good sign! Absolutely good sign! ”

"The weakest was drawn by us!"

"Hahaha!! It's simply amazing! ”

Many of the substitutes were cheering loudly.

Among them is Cristiano, who joined Manchester United last season and is now known as 'Little Ronaldo'. Ronaldo.

The current Cristiano Ronaldo is only 19 years old, has just joined Manchester United, and is thinking about how to do a big job.

And this Champions League draw makes him very excited.

That would certainly make it easy for United to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Compared to other league giants, this Dinamo Zagreb is clearly not that strong.

"What are you happy about!"

Suddenly, a cold shout interrupted Ronaldo's cheers.

The young Ronaldo looked a little overwhelmed.

Van Nistelrooy was staring at him, his eyes full of unhappiness.

Since his arrival, Ronaldo's relationship with Ruud van Nistelrooy has deteriorated.

Cristiano Ronaldo feels that this guy doesn't like himself.

Or rather, he thinks that Van Nistelrooy hates himself for believing that he threatens his position.

"Shouldn't we be happy that we drew a good lot?" Ronaldo said.

Van Nistelrooy suddenly pointed at Ronaldo and taunted loudly; "Listen, his accent, a Portuguese man wants to learn the London accent! Hahaha, I'm laughing to death! ”

Many players who have a good relationship with Vanney can't help but laugh.

The young Ronaldo blushed a lot, and his face became worse and worse.

"Ruud, it's okay!"

Good old guy Ryan Giggs stepped up to play the round.

As for their captain, Roy. Keane has a play-watching attitude.

Ferguson was also chewing gum and looked at it lightly, without interfering.

However, Ferguson looked at Ruud van Nistelrooy with some dissatisfaction, and it was clear that he was more supportive of Ronaldo.

After the dispute was suppressed, Ferguson opened up:

"Whether it's a good sign or not, it's not yet known."

'This Dinamo Zagreb team finished top of Group B and they have the ability to stand out, so we can't take it too lightly, but before we do that, we need to play the next game.'

Manchester United's next game.

The famous Double Red Cross!

After Chelsea, who were led by Jose Mourinho in the last round, drew at home, Ferguson was also angry inside.

He plans to sprinkle this anger on Liverpool.

For the Liverpool coach Benitez, who spoke contempt for Manchester United, Ferguson also wanted to stuff a lot of into the other party's mouth!

Makes your mouth stink!

The Champions League round of 16 grouping has been decided.

Dinamo Zagreb's Champions League quarter-final opponent is Manchester United, a Red Devil from the Premier League.

It's a real headache.

Manchester United are different from Real Madrid in that their overall ability and performance, especially the level of concentration and tenacity they have for the game, are not the same.

With Ferguson's iron fist, Manchester United are disciplined on the pitch.

It can be said that this is the strongest and strongest opponent that Dinamo Zagreb has faced so far!
