On 20 March, the day before the FA Cup tie, Leicester's players wrapped up their preparation period and officially set their sights on a crucial link.

Champions League quarter-finals draw!

This will be the last draw for Leicester City in the Champions League table, because after the quarter-final draw, the upper and lower halves will be divided, and there will be no more draws in the future.

In other words, it is also an important step in determining whether Leicester can reach the final.

No one wants to run into Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern too early, and Monaco, another dark horse team in this tournament, is the best opponent in Leicester City's mind.

The draw took place at 7 p.m. as Leicester players gathered at Vardy's home to watch the thrilling and fateful draw.

They were used to this, and whenever an important moment came, they would come to Vardy's home, which had become their secret base.

"The rule is that the matchups of the quarterfinals will be drawn first, and then the four groups will be divided into the upper and lower halves through the draw?" Kanter sat nervously on the couch and asked.

"Yes, may we have the best of luck."

Vardy raised an eyebrow and smiled: "If you draw Monaco, it will be lucky." ”

"Don't think so, there is no soft persimmon who has reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, we can't look down on them, what if Monaco goes to the final?" Hutt turned his head and reminded.

Everyone nodded slightly, didn't say anything more, and focused their eyes on the screen first.

"Real Madrid."

The first draw is drawn, which means that the next draw will face Real Madrid in the quarterfinals.

"Bayern Munich."

Another voice sounded, and the Leicester players suddenly felt a lot less pressure in their hearts.

Real Madrid meets Bayern!

There are already two teams drawn out of Huang Saren!

Their probability of avoiding the super giants has increased a lot!

"It's really not good to face these opponents too early, and of course we can say that if the final goal is the final, then you shouldn't be afraid of every opponent."

Morgan, the former captain, said at this time: "But if we go to the semi-finals or even the final and meet the super giants again, the mentality will definitely change, and everyone's desire to win will be stronger, and they will be more confident and more focused." ”

"The further back you go, the stronger your fighting power becomes, and this must be the case for us as a group of Champions League newcomers, a team that has climbed up from the bottom."

"So, in the early days, I hope that there is nothing wrong with having a good sign, and everyone should not have a psychological burden because of this idea."

He was right, and then everyone nervously turned their eyes to the screen.

Except for Chen Yufeng, who knew in his heart that Real Madrid would win the championship in the end, others did not know at this time.

In their hearts, there are still Barcelona and Juventus who have not been drawn, which are one of the biggest favorites to win the championship, and the deterrent power is no less than that of the defending champion Real Madrid.

"Monaco."

The host pulled open a piece of paper and smiled and drew out the second group.

"Dortmund." However, the sound that followed still disappointed the Leicester City players.

They didn't run into the best opponent.

Perhaps Monaco's side is also looking forward to the showdown with Leicester City, because the rest of the teams are not good teams.

However, if you don't draw it, you won't draw it, so you can only see if there will be a chance to meet in the future......

"Barcelona."

"And ...... Juventus. ”

After the draw for the third group came out, the Leicester players stood up again, laughing and waving their arms.

Although they missed the chance to face Monaco, they did not meet the four super giants in the quarter-finals!

Atletico Madrid!

This will be their final opponent in the quarterfinals!

"Ness!"

"I'm not afraid to play Atletico Madrid, but now, everyone's goal will be clearer again, and we will go all out to enter the semi-finals! Try a taste of the Champions League semi-finals! ”

"Yes! Atletico are much stronger than Sevilla, but we're not afraid! ”

"Simeone, let Yufeng test your iron-blooded defenses, hahaha......"

Everyone sighed, and everyone felt a little urge to celebrate.

That's a good result.

"Wait......"

Chen Yufeng suddenly remembered some bad things, "It's a very stupid thing to celebrate after drawing lots, and it's not lucky, people like us are slapped in the face every day in world football." ”

"So everyone, stop."

Hearing his words, everyone immediately became superstitious, and they stood in place and closed their mouths tightly.

Next, the grouping of the upper and lower halves also officially began.

"Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich, and Monaco vs Borussia Dortmund."

"Juventus vs Barcelona, and, Atletico Madrid vs Leicester City."

This is a very simple lottery ceremony, the host did not play tricks, but quickly and straightforwardly completed the lottery.

In this way, the upper and lower halves are officially released.

The four teams above and the four teams below will each determine the final winner, and then compete in the finals for this year's Big Ears Cup!

Every step means a lot of hardships and obstacles!

This is a hunting battle between the super giants and the dark horse team, and it is also a miracle battle for the dark horse team to find life in the cracks!

Who will become the ultimate champion will become a topic of discussion throughout the world during this time.

"Oh ......!"

And at this moment in Vardy's house, what is surprising is that Chen Yufeng, who had just finished talking and avoided celebrating in advance, waved his hand and shouted at this moment.

This made everyone else slightly stunned, what is this big brother doing?

There's no need.

Although this lottery is not bad, it is not the most ideal effect.

Chen Yufeng noticed the gazes cast around him, and quickly withdrew his arm and touched his face.

What others don't know, he knows.

Avoiding Real Madrid is crucial for Leicester to reach the Champions League final.

…………

On the Internet, after the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the discussion was overwhelming, and countless reports seemed to drown out all news platforms.

The Champions League, this is an annual drama, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is attracting worldwide attention.

If you want to watch the most exciting and exciting games, then go and wait for the World Cup, watch the World Cup.

But if you want to see the most technical and tactical level of players on the planet, look no further than the Champions League!

Here, the best and strongest team of the year will be born!

They will be the undisputed number one in the world!

Looking at the whole discussion storm, we can see that everyone's focus is different, some people want to see Real Madrid's consecutive championships, some people also want to see the peak MSN dream 2017, and some people want to see the revival of the Serie A giant Juventus.

In short, because the favorite stars and teams are different, everyone's discussion points are also different.

But no matter how you talk about it, there are two teams that have been at the center of everyone's conversation.

Leicester City and Monaco.

These are the two dark horse teams in this year's Champions League, and the word dark horse means what kind of great things they have accomplished, and it also means traffic and attention.

Even passers-by.

Like Leicester City last season, the Champions League has now been played when fans find out that Leicester City have not been sanctioned prematurely.

Everyone is starting to look forward to it again, can Leicester City become the warriors of the dragon slayer again, snatching the Champions League trophy from many giants?

It's going to be an even more gorgeous fairy tale that will make every fan's imagination come to mind.

Of course, needless to say, the difficulty of winning the Champions League, although everyone wants to, but they are still very restrained when expressing themselves.

Some even sang the opposite.

"Leicester City are in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and draw Atletico Madrid, which can be a good thing or a bad thing......

"What I said upstairs is right, Leicester City doesn't have the ability to fight on multiple fronts at all, just look at Chen Yufeng, who has recently rested for two games in a row, their players have all entered the state of the end of the crossbow, and the collapse will come soon."

"Yes, it's a poor team with no money, and so far this season, it's good luck that there hasn't been a large-scale wave of injuries, and it's a bit ridiculous to fantasize about competing for the title on multiple fronts."

"Why are you so dark in your heart, everyone knows that Leicester City has a chance to enter the semi-finals in the FA Cup and Champions League, why do you still deny it first?"

"It's not a denial, I'm also looking forward to Leicester City getting better, with the Community Shield, I very much hope that they can focus on the domestic FA Cup and the Premier League, two lines to compete for the title, maybe there is a complete domestic treble! Playing in the Champions League is a complete burden! ”

"Do you think I don't want to watch another fairy tale that is even more miraculous? The current situation is that after drawing Atletico Madrid, Leicester City are reluctant to give up on any front, and they will definitely squeeze into the semi-finals of the two cup competitions, while keeping the Premier League that has played so many games. ”

"As long as they lose one front, the line they are tightening may break, and they will move the whole body with one shot, and they will directly face a multi-front rout."

"It's still too greedy, either give up the Premier League and play the Champions League, there is a slight possibility of a Champions League final...... As for winning the championship, I don't dare to look forward to it, it's pure fantasy. ”

"From this incident, I can see why Ranieri has not achieved anything after so long, it is completely because he doesn't know what he wants."

"It's not that Chen Yufeng is in too good shape this season, scoring many goals to save the team, this team is far from reaching the level it is today."

'Claudio Ranieri got out of class, he didn't lead a team that was competing for the title on multiple fronts, it seems that there was one, it was Chelsea? Look at how he did that season, I can only describe him as a failure. ”

“……”

There are a lot of voices on the Internet, and there are many 'rational visitors' who are scrambling to express their opinions on this team and show off their opinions on football.

Their argument is simple: Leicester should abandon a front.

It seems to be reasonable, but in fact, saying it is equivalent to not saying it.

In this situation, which one do you want Leicester City to give up?

It's been a tight season, and it's time to wrap up, and taking the initiative to be a coward to give up something, isn't this more hurtful to self-esteem and self-confidence, and more likely to affect the whole body?

They don't understand how the inner workings of this team work, how decisions are made.

It is a bit irresponsible to make such a conclusion, and even elevate everything to the quality of the manager.

Let's take a look down a bit and see what kind of results Leicester City will play, and the decision has always been in the hands of these players and members of the coaching staff.

They are the authors of this Blue Fox chapter.

That night, it seemed that the fermentation of public opinion on the Internet was felt, and some Spanish media had been ambushed in front of the house of Atletico Madrid coach Simeone for a long time, and Simeone, who squatted home at night, conducted a simple interview.

"Mr. Simeone, the draw for the quarter-finals is over, what do you think of Leicester as an opponent and are the team ready to play against them?"

A reporter put the microphone directly to Simeone's mouth, "We saw a point, Leicester City seems to be excited to draw you, because they think it is not difficult to cross Atletico Madrid to enter the last four. ”

"Do you think they are too arrogant or underestimate the quality of Atletico Madrid?"

Simeone was a very iron-blooded man when he was a player, and his coaching style has the same label as Atletico Madrid, but that doesn't mean he is not easy to get along with.

He was very patient in answering the reporter's interview: "I think the whole world now knows that Leicester City is a very strong team, and no one will think of them as the team they were two years ago. ”

'But I would say that Atletico Madrid is ready for everything and we have absolute confidence to beat them.'

'It's a bit of a coincidence that I watched Leicester play at Leicester some time ago and I didn't think we would meet in the Champions League in a short period of time.

"Can you ask why you went to Leicester City to watch the game live? Shouldn't it be, or isn't it, just observing potential adversaries? "The reporter has a bit of a taste of seeing through everything.

"Yes."

Simeone scratched the bridge of his nose and said helplessly: "Everyone can see that the media said my thoughts that night, and I covet their full-guard Chen Yufeng very much." ”

"It's not a hard motive to admit, Chen Yufeng is a man of great prowess and has become one of the most dangerous attackers in world football."

'In a sense, I think the ceiling of competitiveness for this Leicester team is on him, and he has it all on his shoulders.

The reporter nodded slightly, but seemed not very satisfied with Simeone's answer, standing on the stage of the Champions League, how can the head coach of the Spanish team praise an opponent's player so much?

Isn't this to increase the morale of others and destroy one's own prestige?

"There is a voice that Chen Yufeng's strength is only stronger than some weak teams, and his dominance in the Premier League is only because he is too familiar with the league, and he has not yet proven himself in the Premier League."

He uttered something very inexplicable, "Do you agree with that?" Are you confident that you can lead Atletico Madrid to victory over him? ”

"First of all, for your first half of the sentence."

Simeone is not Spaniard, he is passionate about football because he loves the sport, and he loves a sport, and sometimes he tells the truth: "If you take it out of your position, you will find it a very funny statement. ”

'If that's the case, then the rest of the Premier League's strikers won't be able to play? Or, those players who have played in La Liga over the years and sunk in the Premier League are not people? ”

"It's so irresponsible, we have to look at one thing objectively."

'I don't agree with that, but I'll do my best to beat him with Atletico Madrid, it's a challenge for us and an opportunity to prove ourselves.'

After answering the question, Simeone waved his hand at the reporter and walked towards his home.

All his words were quickly sent out by the Spanish media and spread to football media all over the world at a very fast speed.

There is no doubt that Simeone has been attacked by some Spanish fans and media, but he doesn't care......

This incident also made Chen Yufeng's name flash in front of the eyes of all Spanish fans again, attracting some black.

That's the way it is, when your name comes up in the negative press, even if you're not the one who created the negative news, the fans will get angry with you and target you.

Not to mention, this incident was originally caused by Chen Yufeng.

Not to mention, Spanish fans are very afraid of this captain who recently drove a blue ship to bloody Seville.

When fear grows, nothing can be done.

Early the next morning, some Spanish media squatted on Ronaldo, who was going out, and asked him a question.

"Chen Yufeng is about to break your Champions League scoring record, what do you think about that? You don't want to see him do this historic feat with Atletico Madrid, do you? ”

For this acute question, Ronaldo himself has no intention of speaking at all.

He just chuckled, then snatched the reporter's microphone with a change of expression, and said the only thing to the camera: "It's my personal time, and I don't want anyone to disturb me in my personal time." ”

After his video was exposed, people still felt Ronaldo's sense of loss for the record being broken from slow down, which was an obvious change in micro-expression.

Is this a blow to Ronaldo?

Definitely, yes, because no matter how much he makes excuses, he can't change this very likely fact.

He doesn't like to fail, and he doesn't want to be aware of this sense of loss.

But he couldn't help it.

However, for Cristiano Ronaldo, it was more of an inspiration to become a better version of himself and accomplish more amazing things.

Football is like this, the more excellent people there are, the more fulfilling the sense of achievement of victory.

Sometimes, something that upsets the balance can be uncomfortable at first, but then there may be some excitement in it......

Cristiano Ronaldo is used to success, and he will definitely face this as a success, which is to get up and fight again.

Another boss in the peerless duo, Messi, was also intercepted by the Spanish media that morning.

"If you beat Juventus, you could meet Chen Yufeng, many people say that he broke the dichotomy between you and Cristiano Ronaldo, what do you think about that?"

As long as he is not in a particularly bad mood, Messi is still acceptable to answer one or two small questions once in a while.

After listening to what the reporter said, Messi first put on a hat for his eldest son Thiago next to him, and then looked up and said: "I've always been concerned about him, and I'm looking forward to going head-to-head with him." ”

"We had a brief encounter when we were in the United States, but that time, we were obviously not very serious."

"It's not good to say that, but I still wish him to reach the final four, and I wish I can go to the final four, that's all."

Without further ado, Messi took Thiago for a walk.

The reporter also retreated with interest.

Although Messi's words are somewhat similar to Simeone's, they are even more serious.

But you must know that people with different passers-by must be treated differently.

The Spanish fans only condemned Messi on a small scale, and no one said anything too serious.

This is Messi, do you want to accuse him of not wanting the Spanish team to qualify?

Simeone, you say? Simeone: That's a matter of position, as a manager, he can't destroy his team's prestige, it's not a nature.

…………

March 21, White Hart Lane.

In the locker room, Chen Yufeng picked up his mobile phone and briefly browsed the turmoil on the Internet in the past two days.

He must usually pay attention to some media news, and it is impossible not to read it completely.

The good thing is that he tends to block out the negative news and focus only on the situation of other people.

"It's interesting."

After sighing, Chen Yufeng put down his mobile phone and began to change his shoes.

The FA Cup is just around the corner, and if they are to win the title, it will be the penultimate game, a hurdle that must be crossed......

"Where's the lens?" Chen Yufeng looked left and right, looking for several entertainment companies that had been following them.

It's a documentary production that has been going on since very early on, and the players occasionally go over to say something, but Chen Yufeng rarely does that.

Today, Chen Yufeng, who is in a good mood, decided to say a few words.

"Listen, by the time we see this video again, we'll probably already have the title."

Chen Yufeng gestured three fingers, "I know this is our penultimate game in the FA Cup, even if I don't play, I can guess that we beat Tottenham Hotspur neatly and beat them to the bottom. ”

'I was on my knees on the grass at White Hart Lane again, and my old club was attacked by Tottenham fans again.

'However, the focus of the fans' attack is on Pochettino, for which I apologize, Mr. Pochettino and I were friends.

In the end, Chen Yufeng couldn't hold back his laughter.

He had to clench his fists and hug Kante and Shinji Okazaki next to him, "1,2,3......"

"Leicester City, come on!!"
