Chapter 1036: The Anticipated Showdown

Conte has been having a hard time recently, and there are now rumors throughout England that Conte will definitely leave Chelsea Club after the end of this season.

When reporters ask him about this, he always replies: "Wouldn't you know the final answer by the end of the season?"

When the reporter asked again and wanted Conte to talk about his views on the prospects of the Champions League, Conte said firmly: "Currently Chelsea only has one Champions League title to compete for, and we will definitely go all out to compete for this championship!"

Conte told the truth. All domestic cup competitions have been eliminated, and there is no hope of winning the league. The only one who can compete now is the Champions League champion.

As a Premier League team, Guardiola's emotions are somewhat complicated, because two of the top eight teams in the Champions League are his former clubs - Barcelona and Bayern. The probability of two out of seven is not small, and it is very possible for Guardiola to return to his old hometown.

Reporters always like to create topics. When they asked Guardiola about this matter, Guardiola's answer seemed very official.

"Both Barcelona and Bayern have left me with many wonderful memories. I have also won many championships with those two teams. If we meet again this time, I believe it will be an unforgettable experience. Currently Barcelona and Bayern They all have excellent coaches and excellent players, and they have the ability to win the Champions League, just like Manchester City, so I can’t predict the final game in advance, time will give you the answer.”

The coaches of these seven teams all faced reporters and talked about their thoughts. However, Juventus coach Allegri had a headache. The person he hates most now is reporters.

Since the last round of the Champions League group stage, Juventus won the right to qualify at the last moment with two controversial penalty kicks. Since then, Juventus has been surrounded by controversies. After qualifying from the group, Juventus and Manchester United also had some unpleasantness.

In fact, the cause of that incident did not come from Juventus, but from some unscrupulous Italian media. They made a statement at the time, saying that Manchester United might deliberately lose to Ajax to help the Dutch advance despite qualifying first in the group early.

At that time, this statement aroused the anger of many people in Italy, especially the defenders of Serie A. They even scolded Manchester United in advance, saying that Kim Tiger's team has always been unsportsmanlike. Most of these Serie A fans are Juventus fans, because Juventus frequently encountered Manchester United in the Champions League in the past few seasons, but they were all beaten hard by Manchester United. This made them feel very unhappy, so they took this opportunity to scold them. Scold Jin Taige to relieve his anger.

At that time, the two clubs, Manchester United and Juventus, were engaged in a war of words and it was a big deal.

But I didn't expect that a few days later, Manchester United tried their best to defeat Juventus in the last game and used practical actions to maintain the fairness of the game; however, Juventus encountered two misjudgments in the final round and finally caught up. The last team in the Champions League round of 16 was lucky enough to advance.

After the game, Kim Tiger criticized Juventus: "Manchester United used a fair victory to tell some people what sportsmanship is! What is the true spirit of fair play! However, some teams profited from misjudgments during the game. After the game, you still dare not admit it. You actually consider yourself a wealthy club and look down on other clubs. This is a shame for a wealthy club!"

Originally, the relationship between the two clubs was relatively good due to Dybala's transfer, but this incident brought the relationship between the two clubs to a freezing point.

Kim Tae-ge doesn’t care. Since you have publicly questioned Manchester United's spirit of fair play, then I will publicly criticize your unfair profit-making behavior!

Originally, Juventus had been cast aside by public opinion because of the group stage. Unexpectedly, in this Champions League quarter-finals, they eliminated Liverpool in a disgraceful way, and they became the target of public criticism.

Facing the reporter's interview, Allegri simply kept silent and did not make any comments.

After the Champions League quarter-finals were successively produced, the draw ceremony was also expected by people and it finally arrived. No matter which two teams meet this time,

I believe it will be very interesting.

Because he had to prepare for the league game, Jintiger still did not go to the lottery ceremony, and Woodward went there on his behalf.

In fact, as Woodward was there, there was no need for him to go, but considering that he had to deal with matters with other clubs and spend more time with UEFA officials, Woodward still went in person.

Kim Tiger and others who stayed in Manchester watched the lottery ceremony at home.

Because it has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, there is no principle of avoiding the same league. The top three of the Premier League or the top two of La Liga may also meet. At this time, both Scholes and Phelan gathered at Kintiger's house, and the three of them watched the lottery ceremony together.

There was still some time before the live broadcast ceremony. Wen Na prepared some English black tea and Chinese pastries for them, and the three of them chatted while eating.

Scholes said expectantly: "It would be interesting if we were drawn against Manchester City. After last season, there will be another Manchester derby. I believe UEFA will be interested in seeing it."

Ferran shook his head: "It's so boring to always play against Premier League teams. I still hope to meet teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Bayern. That would be so enjoyable."

Scholes disagreed: "Now we are still fighting on the third line. If we can draw a weak team, it will definitely be beneficial to us. I don't want us to meet a team of Huang Saren's level so early. If I choose , I want to meet Ajax most. If we meet the Dutch giants, wouldn't our promotion road be smoother? We defeated them twice in the group stage. Both in terms of strength and psychology, we have a big difference. Advantages. And we can take advantage of this opportunity to take a closer look at the recent progress of the three primary schools in the Netherlands. This is the best choice."

Listening to the discussion between the two, Jin Taige smiled: "I think UEFA will not let several top teams meet so early. Now Manchester United, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern are ranked in the top four in the odds list. , based on UEFA's wishful thinking, they may let our four teams separate and wait until the semi-finals to meet again. Of course, even the remaining teams will definitely have the possibility of a comeback. It cannot be taken lightly.”

An hour later, when the results of the draw came out, the three of them all laughed.

"This group draw is really dramatic: old friends reunite, enemies meet, and two teams are fighting against each other."

"This year's Champions League quarter-finals are really interesting!"
