166. Champions League quarter-final draw

After defeating Newcastle United, Liverpool began to prepare for the second round of the Champions League against Inter Milan. Although they had defeated their opponent 4-0, Liverpool did not ignore this game.

Liverpool's head coach Rafael Benitez still brought all the main players to Italy. However, in this game, not all of Liverpool's main players started. Qiu Ze sat on the bench.

, Liverpool has a semi-main lineup today.

After the game started, Rafael Benitez discovered that Inter Milan had no intention of playing. They seemed to have accepted their fate and they would not fight anymore in this game. Seeing this result, Rafael Benitez

I almost didn't vomit blood.

If I had known this, I would have brought all the main players to Italy. It would be great to let these main players rest in England, which is very important for the following games.

Under Inter Milan's unwillingness to fight, Liverpool easily defeated their opponent 1-0 in this game. Qiu Ze and other main players sitting on the bench never got a chance to play. Liverpool won with the total score.

Defeated Inter Milan with a score of 5-0 to advance to the quarterfinals of this season's UEFA Champions League.

One day later, all the knockout rounds of the top 16 of this season's UEFA Champions League ended, and all the teams that advanced to the quarter-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League were produced. This time, the Premier League became the biggest winner, because in the quarter-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League

Among them, the Premier League occupies four seats.

Yes! All four teams participating in the UEFA Champions League this season have advanced to the last eight. This has greatly shocked the European football world. The strength of the Premier League has surprised everyone. I don’t know why.

At that time, the English Premier League suddenly emerged, shocking everyone.

The top eight teams in the UEFA Champions League this season are the Red Devils Manchester United, Gunners Arsenal, Blues Chelsea and Reds Liverpool from the Premier League, as well as Barcelona from La Liga. Roma from Serie A, from

Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga, and finally Fenerbahce from Turkey.

In addition to the top four of the Premier League, only one team in La Liga advanced to the last eight, and only one team in Serie A and Bundesliga advanced to the last eight. The French Ligue 1 team was completely wiped out, but it was Turkey.

A dark horse emerges from the league.

If we only look at this Champions League competition, the Premier League has become the first league in Europe, because they occupy four of the top eight in the Champions League. This is simply shocking. The rise of the Premier League has now

It is an indisputable fact.

Now the media in England are reporting that their Premier League will completely surpass Serie A in the next two or three years, and La Liga will become the number one league in Europe.

At this time, the media from the other four major leagues in Europe's five major leagues said sourly that the English media were too shameless and boasted about themselves. The media in Italy and Spain said one after another that their league was the number one league in Europe, and you England

Still a long way to go!

Anyway, this issue has been very hot during this period, and these issues can be stopped almost wherever you go.

However, this has nothing to do with the Liverpool players. The Liverpool players immediately took a flight to leave Italy and return to England, because they still have league games on the weekend and they will participate in the 30th round of the Premier League at the weekend.

Will face Reading at home.

Liverpool's head coach Rafael Benitez flew to the UEFA headquarters because he had to participate in the draw ceremony for the next quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, which is also the final draw of the UEFA Champions League this season.

It's a lottery ceremony.

There is no need to draw lots for the next semi-final matchup, because this round of drawing ceremony will determine the future matchups.

On March 14, 2008, the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League will be held in Nyon, Switzerland, the headquarters of UEFA. All the head coaches of the teams that have entered the quarter-finals will come here to participate in the final draw of this season's UEFA Champions League.

ceremony.

In addition to these head coaches, his assistants and officials of the club, there are also very famous football players who came to the scene. Of course, more of them are media workers. Here are the eight Champions League matches that fans around the world are watching.

Strong lottery ceremony.

The teams entering the quarterfinals are Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Barcelona, ​​Schalke 04 and Fenerbahce.

This draw ceremony will no longer adopt the principle of avoiding clubs under the same Football Association, nor will it adopt the principle of avoiding teams in the same group. In this round of draw ceremony, there is no principle.

This draw ceremony is divided into upper and lower half zones. The two winning teams among the four teams in the same half zone will meet directly in the semi-finals, without the need for another draw.

At this time, all English teams have one idea, that is, they do not want to draw an English team. Before the game, the English media even proposed that the four English teams will not meet in this round, so the four Premier League teams

The conjecture that all of them will enter the semi-finals.

Of course, this is not impossible. However, everyone also understands that such a situation is obviously impossible, because UEFA does not allow such a situation to occur. If England's top four are really allowed to enter the top four,

If it is stronger, then is this Champions League still the Champions League? Isn’t this England’s FA Cup competition?

At the lottery site, the head coaches of several teams chatted for a few words, and then they all got involved in the lottery ceremony. This was very important to them.

At this time, the players of these eight teams were all watching the draw ceremony of this round in front of the TV. They were very nervous now. Qiu Ze was also a little nervous. He didn't know if this would be related to future generations.

The result of the lottery is the same, because there is this little butterfly here.

Soon, the football celebrities invited by UEFA came on stage to start the lottery. At this time, the whole world fell silent and watched the lottery ceremony.

The order of the draw is: first the first team in the upper half is drawn, then the first team in the lower half is drawn, then the second team in the upper half is drawn, and then the next

It is the second team drawn from the bottom half.

These four teams are not opponents, and their opponents will be among the remaining four teams. The order of the draw for the remaining four teams is the same as the first round. In other words, the remaining four teams will be drawn in the same order.

The first of the four teams to be drawn will be the opponent of the first of the eight teams to be drawn.

When the football legend invited by UEFA started to draw lots, everyone fell silent. Their eyes were fixed on the hands of the football legend from Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. He grabbed something from the transparent glass jar.

A ball, then unscrewed the ball, took out the note inside, looked at it first, smiled slightly, and finally unfolded the note to show everyone - Arsenal!

Arsenal became the first team in the top half. However, the mystery was still not solved at this time, and the atmosphere at the scene was still tense.

Next, the other three teams in England hope that they will be drawn into the bottom half so that they will not meet Arsenal.

At this time, the football star grabbed another ball from the vat, then opened it and unfolded the note inside - Roma!

Roma was drawn out and they were assigned to the bottom half, but at this time, there was still no matchup. The result of this matchup was still a mystery. Now everyone is very nervous.

Next, the third one was drawn out - Fenerbahce, which was the second team in the top half. Two teams in the top half were formed. Then the fourth one was drawn out.

The team - Schalke 04. In this way, the four teams in the upper and lower halves have been drawn out, and now it is time to look at their opponents.

So far, it is still possible that the four Premier League teams will not meet, which makes those English reporters press conferences.

At this time, another famous football star came to draw lots. This one was a famous football star from Real Madrid. This guy calmly walked onto the stage, then reached his hand into the transparent glass jar, and grabbed something from it.

A ball came and he unfolded it. He took a look at it. His eyes suddenly opened and he looked extremely surprised.

At this time, the people sitting in front of the TV and below in the hall couldn't help but curse this damn Real Madrid star. Show him to me quickly, otherwise, I will kill you!

Real Madrid, the football legend, smiled slightly, then turned the note over and put it in front of the public - Liverpool!

Arsenal vs. Liverpool! The Premier League civil war was finally born. This made the English media reporters call it terrible, while the media from other national teams were surprised. In this case, the top four of the Champions League would not be all occupied by English teams.

.

Seeing such a matchup, the Liverpool people couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn it, how could they possibly meet an English team, and it's Arsenal! Damn it, this is such bad luck."

Only Qiu Ze was slightly relaxed, because this was the same as his memory in later generations. Arsenal played against Liverpool. It seems that his little butterfly has not stirred up too much of a butterfly effect.

Then, the second team drawn by the Real Madrid legend is - Manchester United! Roma plays against Manchester United.

Next, the third team drawn by the Real Madrid star is-Chelsea! Fenerbahce vs. Chelsea!

In the end, there was no need for this guy to draw any more, and everyone knew the final result of the match, but this guy still pretended to draw, and the team he finally drew was-Barcelona! Schalke 04 vs. Barcelona.

In this case, the top half is very likely to lead to a situation where two Premier League teams will meet in the semi-finals, because Chelsea's strength exceeds that of Fenerbahce. And Fenerbahce is also recognized as the top eight team in this Champions League.

Before the draw, everyone wanted to draw the weakest opponent in the team. Now Chelsea is lucky.

At this point, the quarter-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League have been completely established: Arsenal vs. Liverpool, Fenerbahce vs. Chelsea, Roma vs. Manchester United, and Schalke 04 vs. Barcelona.

This result is somewhat difficult for Liverpool because their opponent is Arsenal.
