Chapter One Thousand and Nine: Top 8 and Schalke Four

? For Notts County, the current English seems to be a copy that has already successfully opened up wasteland. After countless times of experience, it has entered the Farm stage. There is no suspense in the final Boss. 『Teana』Novel Ww』W. ⒉

From the beginning of entering the dungeon this season, it has been smooth and smooth, and the entire dungeon will be completed soon. Perhaps, such a dungeon is no longer a challenge for Notts County.

The second round of the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 is also coming soon. Notts County sits at home to meet the challenge of Lyon. The score of the round win makes the identity of the final qualifier no longer suspenseful. This game is more about fighting for honor. .

The impressive idiot Ben Alpha in the first round didn't even make the roster for the match. He became the laughing stock of the whole of Europe, and he really wanted to cry without tears.

In this game, Notts County still adopted a considerable rotation. Although the control power has declined somewhat, in such a game where the result has almost been determined in advance, how to reduce consumption as much as possible is the biggest problem.

In the end, under the conscious restraint of Notts County, the two teams drew 1:1. Notts County eliminated Lyon with a total score of 4:1 in two rounds and advanced to the quarterfinals. Lyon also relied on This draw retained the dignity, it can be said that everyone is happy.

The knockout rounds of the Champions League round of 16 are also over, and the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League are all released.

All the giants have been promoted one after another, only Liverpool was out because of their encounter with the super powerful Inter Milan.

In the quarter-finals, apart from Liverpool being eliminated, Notts County, Chelsea and Arsenal are listed one after another, which is the largest number of clubs in the quarter-finals in the major leagues;

La Liga Real Madrid and Barcelona successfully advanced to the quarterfinals and became representatives of La Liga;

The Milan duo also performed strongly, falling behind Juventus, representing the high-end combat power of Serie A;

The last lucky team was Schalke O4. After Bayern missed the UEFA Champions League, everyone thought that the Bundesliga would be wiped out, but they didn't expect Schalke O4 to emerge suddenly and reach the quarterfinals.

Then, the draw for the next quarter-finals is very attractive. Will the old friends meet again, will there be a civil war or even a derby, and will UEFA create a new topic duel?

It's all worth the wait!

Since there is no principle of avoidance of the same country and avoidance of the same group,

There is a great possibility that no one knows who and who they meet.

In David's view, among the top eight teams, perhaps only Inter Milan has a real chance of defeating Notts County. Even Chelsea, which is generally believed to have the strength to wrestle with Notts County, is probably not for Notts County's opponent. , As long as they don't meet Inter Milan, Notts County's entry into the semi-finals should be smooth.

David would never believe that the UEFA Champions League draw is not tricky. Even if there is no absolute evidence, there really are not so many coincidences in the world.

UEFA definitely has a reason to attack Notts County. When modern football is getting more and more developed, it is not everyone's happiness for a club to rule a competition for a long time. Notts County must be restricted, and David knows this better than anyone else.

Only Inter Milan has a real chance to kill Notts County, but David believes that UEFA will never allow Inter Milan and Notts County to meet so early. It is best for such a peak match to appear in the final or semi-final, the strongest It is also not in the interests of UEFA that the team is out early.

The biggest possibility is to allow other top teams to snipe Notts County, such as Chelsea, such as AC Milan, etc., which can also make Notts County spend a lot of energy. It takes a lot of energy, so that the team behind will have a chance to get rid of Notts County.

So from the very beginning, David felt that Notts County's opponent in the quarter-finals would be Chelsea, which was a strong premonition.

This time, however, David's premonition lost its magic.

I don't know if UEFA really didn't target Notts County, or there was some accident in the middle. Notts County not only did not encounter super teams like Inter Milan and Chelsea, but also did not encounter traditional giants such as AC Milan and Real Madrid. , unexpectedly met the weakest club in the quarterfinals.

Schalke o4

For such a result, David didn't know how to express his feelings. Should he be thankful, or should he be worried about the deeper conspiracy?

Inter Milan and Barcelona met, Arsenal and Real Madrid met, AC Milan and Chelsea had a strong dialogue, and the three matchups were all exciting battles of the century. Only Notts County picked up a big bargain, the strongest and the best in the quarterfinals The weaker clubs are grouped together.

Is this the rhythm of recommending Notts County to advance to the semi-finals?

Does Notts County have this kind of treatment now?

The Notts County fans are very happy, but they don't know if other clubs are going to be jealous!

However, Schalke O4 is very single, because they know that with their strength, it will be very difficult to pass anyone they meet in the quarterfinals, so there is essentially no difference who they meet. A real match with Notts County The contest of swords and guns is actually not bad.

Heynckes breathed a sigh of relief after getting the results of the draw immediately. Although he has absolute confidence in the strength of Notts County, the difficulties for Notts County are not small now. The integrity of the lineup is a big problem. If If you really run into a big team like Chelsea or Inter Milan, even if you really get through the risk, the consumption will definitely not be low, and the subsequent games will be unsustainable.

Opponents like Schalke O4 are limited in their own strength and are far from reaching the level of giants. Even if they are compared with Tottenham, they may not be as good. Create too much trouble.

The two-round contest of the quarter-finals will be in early April. If Notts County continues to maintain a winning streak in the league, they may have won the league early at that time. As long as they can eliminate Schalke O4, then they can Concentrate all your energy on the Champions League semi-finals and finals, which will undoubtedly occupy a greater advantage.

When the results of the draw came out, the media couldn't help exclaiming that UEFA had cleared the way for Notts County's four consecutive championships.

Such good news, for Notts County, the degree of surprise is simply indescribable.

However, extreme joy and sorrow seem to go hand in hand. The good news of the Champions League draw has not been fully digested, but bad news came from Notts County immediately.

Notts County's injury wave has widened again.

Capdevila suffered a torn muscle in training and Gary Cahill suffered a fractured toe, with both players on Notts County's injured list.

Now, the players who are recuperating can already compete with the healthy players in terms of strength!

It really beeped the dog!
