Real Madrid vs Manchester United

Barcelona vs Alkmaar

Bayern vs Porto

Valencia vs Lazio

The results of the quarter-knockout draw have been announced. Real Madrid and defending champion Manchester United will have a showdown between giants. Barcelona, ​​the best-fitting club, accepts the challenge from the super dark horse AZ Alkmaar. Bayern Munich, the lone Bundesliga champion, has the weakest opponent from the Portuguese Super League.

It is difficult for Porto to pose much threat to them. And Lazio and Valencia became the only civilian battle.

The British media had mixed opinions on the draw result, and the focus was naturally on the battle between Real Madrid and Manchester United.

The headline of the "Daily Mail" is: Manchester United and Real Madrid meet on a narrow road. The article describes: This is a real showdown between giants, a world war. The confrontation between Manchester United and Real Madrid will be the focus of this round of knockout matches.

They have played against each other four times in this century, with two wins and two draws. Each side has advanced once. This time, the defending champion Manchester United has stronger momentum and Real Madrid is relatively sluggish. Who will win the first game of the new century and get off to a good start will become a hot topic.

"The Sun" was even more exaggerated, directly putting a large picture of Zidane and Keane together, with a short and powerful headline: Let's have a showdown between men!

"AS" commented: This is the best opponent. The defending champion will become the touchstone of the new Real Madrid. Del Bosque's team is on the right track. They need a strong opponent to stimulate their sluggish nerves.

.

"Marca" was worried about this, saying: "Real Madrid has been in poor form recently and conceded 8 goals against Bayern. Can they withstand the impact of Manchester United, which defeated Bayern?"

The German media were very happy that Bayern was drawn against Porto, and it was a more favorable first-come-first-served situation. This was simply a walk-off. "Bild" said: "Bayern has the best chance. This is their sweep of Real Madrid."

In exchange, their path to the semi-finals is now very bright. Now they can consider their next opponent, Real Madrid or Manchester United? Bayern definitely likes Real Madrid the best, but they will be more motivated to play Manchester United, because Manchester United lost in the last two games last season.

Minutes snatched away their big ear cups.

"Kicker" was more cautious, "This is of course the best result. There is no easier opponent than Porto, Alkmaar? Let others beat them. Bayern prefers to meet them in the final. However.

Porto has always had a good Champions League tradition. The team won the Champions League in the 1986/87 season. Compared with the giants, they have no psychological burden and may perform beyond their level. I hope Bayern's soldiers will not take it lightly.

The Portuguese media accepted this reality calmly. "Guangming Daily" said: There are four giants in the quarter-finals. We cannot expect to avoid them all. Bayern is certainly not easy to beat, but we must accept it and work hard. It doesn't matter whether we win or lose.

The goals set before the season have been achieved.

The Italian media cheered for Lazio, with Corriere dello Sport commenting: "This is a good signing. Although Valencia is a La Liga team, they play defensive counterattacks, which is the same approach as Eriksen's team.

, I believe Eriksson will find a way to restrain his opponent.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" said: "As the representative of Serie A, Lazio shoulders the important task of competing for Serie A honors, and Valencia is obviously a good opponent. For the two defensive counterattack teams, whoever scores first will take the lead.

Chances are, whoever will advance among the last two teams may be the one who scores first.

Facing an opponent like Alkmaar, Barcelona has mixed feelings. In terms of reputation, Alkmaar is definitely far inferior to the other six teams. In terms of strength, Alkmaar is at most similar to Valencia, Lazio, and Porto, but this

The team's combat effectiveness is extremely strong and its condition is excellent. Even though Barcelona is happy, they dare not despise it.

The pro-Barcelona "World Sports News" commented: "It is certainly a good draw to draw Alkmaar, but I believe Barcelona would rather draw teams like Lazio, Valencia and Porto, who are stronger.

But nothing unexpected can happen, and this Alkmaar team is too unfamiliar, a bit like Dynamo Kiev last season. Barcelona must be careful about being eliminated by Dynamo Kiev last season.

"Daily Sports" also believes that drawing Alkmaar increases the risk for Barcelona. Among the four teams outside the giants, Alkmaar is the most unpredictable. However, "Daily Sports" believes that as long as Barcelona

Be cautious, there is no doubt about promotion, Alkmaar's strength is not enough to block Barcelona's path forward.

Barcelona coach Louis van Gaal believes that drawing Alkmaar will undoubtedly be a very good quarter-final opponent for Barcelona.

"It's a good signing for us," Van Gaal told Barcelona's official website. "Sometimes you wonder if it's a good thing to play away first and then home, but I think there's no indication right now whether it's better to play home or away first.

Damn, we don't need this advantage yet." Dutch coach Louis van Gaal seemed very confident.

However, Van Gaal still sounded the alarm for the team. "The best hope for playing away first is to score away goals. However, Alkmaar's offensive power is very strong. In the group stage, they scored Chelsea and Lazio in two games.

Ten goals, I think away goals may not be of much use."

Barcelona also has an inherent advantage against the Dutch team. This is that the head coach Louis van Gaal is from the Netherlands. His most successful record and honors are also from the Netherlands. Now there are many players from the Netherlands in the Barcelona camp, such as the De Boer brothers.

Litmanning, Kluivert, Cocu, Zenden, Bogard, etc. This also gave Barcelona a better understanding of Dutch football, even like an Eredivisie battle. Van Gaal believed that the "Dutch factor" in the team

"It will be the key to deciding the game. "We have never played against Alkmaar before, but we respect any team that reaches the quarterfinals. We have many Dutch players. I am also from the Netherlands and I know it very well.

Dutch football. I am very happy with the draw. We are heading towards the championship."

Barcelona's core player Rivaldo said: "There is no better opponent than Alkmaar, not to mention we have the advantage of playing away first, which can better utilize our offensive advantage. I hope it ends in that stadium called that."

Competition, we have more important tasks in the league."

Another world-class superstar Figo also said that Alkmaar is nothing to worry about, but players have to overcome the mentality of underestimating the enemy. "Although Alkmaar is a dark horse, no one can say that this is a bad signing, otherwise Real Madrid

We are going to be angry with Manchester United. As long as we don't underestimate the enemy, there is no doubt about promotion. What makes me even more happy is that we are in a good half zone. Our next opponent after promotion will be Lazio or Valencia.

West Asia, this is our best chance to reach the final."

However, the Dutch players in Barcelona said they must not be too optimistic. Litmanen, who played against Alkmaar, said: "Alkmaar is by no means an easy bone to chew. Their defense is very tough and their attack power is very strong. In addition, Alkmaar is not easy to chew."

Their head coach is very flexible and can always play the most surprising cards. It is very dangerous to play against such a team, and we must avoid a recurrence of Dynamo Kyiv."

Frank De Boer was still frightened. He said: "Alkmaar's biggest danger is their head coach. That young Chinese has a magical power. Their team is full of fighting spirit and passion even in the last minute.

, their pressing makes you afraid of the ball passing. I hope my teammates will be mentally prepared in advance and don’t think that this is a soy sauce team from a small town. They have already shouted the slogan of entering the finals. We must deal with it carefully.

To avoid capsizing in the gutter.”

The draw for the Champions League quarter-finals in Nyon, Switzerland, is nothing to fear for Alkmaar, even if the opponent is Barcelona with Kluivert, Figo and Rivaldo - this is the club Alkmaar

The attitude of the boss, head coach Jiang Mu and their players after the draw ceremony.

"Our team will write a great legend." AZ Alkmaar chairman Dirk said excitedly after watching the draw ceremony. "We have always emphasized that we are eager for a great game. This is the team's

As expected. We have an amazing coach like Jiang Mu and an amazing player like Ronaldinho. For our fans, it will be a dream journey from Camp Nou to De Hoot."

"I'm very happy that we can prove ourselves, which is a huge encouragement because our opponent is currently the best team in Europe," Jiang Mu also believes that encountering a heavyweight opponent like Barcelona is worthy of satisfaction. "This will make the whole

The game will be different, Barcelona is a great team. But anything can happen and I believe we will give our best and there will be no fatigue.”

"There are many Dutch players in the opponent's lineup. The De Boer brothers and Litmanning have all played against us before. This can help Barcelona understand us better, but we also understand them. Barcelona is a team, not a magic show team.

, the players are still the same players when they arrive at Barcelona. We know how to deal with these players, and Barcelona’s style of play is very Dutch, and our players will be more familiar with it. We performed very well in the Eredivisie, and I think the players will be better in the Champions League.

I can find the feeling of playing in the league."

Jiang Mu seemed a little excited. After all, this was the first truly wealthy team he had officially encountered. In his previous life, he had been to Camp Nou, the largest stadium in Europe, but he could only watch Barcelona's games from the stands as a fan.

game, and now, as the head coach, he will direct the team to play against such a wealthy team that he could only watch from a distance. He can even decide the fate of this wealthy team, which makes Jiang Mu feel excited when he thinks about it.

The team's captain Van Bommel was also happy to be drawn against Barcelona. He said: "Among the seven teams in the quarter-finals, the one I want to meet most is of course Lazio, so that we can deal with it easily, although it will make the fans

I feel a little tired. Apart from Lazio, Barcelona is the team we most want to meet. The Champions League has reached the quarterfinals. It is a huge regret if we have not played against a giant team. We hope to pass

The giants came to prove their strength and let the whole world see how well we played."
