Four Hundred and Sixty-Seven Look Out, I'll Demonstrate Again!

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: [] The fastest update! No ads!

The draw for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League was scheduled to be held at 12:00 noon.

The eight participating teams have arranged for representatives to go to the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland to witness the draw ceremony on the spot.

The draw guests are representatives of the final venue, Bruno Conte from Rome, and UEFA Secretary-General David Taylor are in charge of hosting, and the draw process is broadcast live to the world.

This time the lottery is not only related to the knockout round of the quarterfinals, but also divides the upper and lower halves.

In other words, the lottery for the semifinals was drawn by the way.

Judging from the distribution of the top eight teams, the Premier League and La Liga are undoubtedly strong, especially the Premier League.

If it weren't for Naples sniping Chelsea, the Premier League would once again occupy half of the top eight seats.

Today's European football is an out-and-out Premier League prosperity.

...

Gao Shen and his assistants sat in the coach's office early, watching the live broadcast of the game.

At the beginning of the live broadcast, he first introduced the situation of the top sixteen and the performance of the eight participating teams.

This is also routine.

"Now I suddenly don't want to touch Manchester United so early." Gao Shen said with a sudden smile.

This man's psychology is really strange.

Before Gao Shen wanted to touch Manchester United and Ferguson, it was more because he did not have too clear requirements for results.

But now it's different.

The two rounds of the knockout round of the top 16 were reversed against Chelsea, which made Gao Shen realize that his team still has a lot to do, and the goal he has set for himself now is the semi-finals, or even go further.

Those who will advance to the knockout round of the quarterfinals.

In this way, it is definitely not a good thing to meet Manchester United too early.

Ferguson is amazing!

If you touch Manchester United now,

Gao Shen really didn't know how to play.

Of course, there is another team that Gao Shen does not want to meet too early, and that is Barcelona.

In the previous life, Guardiola's team really created a new era of tactics. The peak period lasted for several years, but Gao Shen's favorite was actually the team from 2009.

how to say?

Barcelona this year is like a person, making mistakes, making mistakes, and going all out...

Yaya Toure is indeed not suitable for Barcelona's fourth position. Needless to say, he can't even adapt to a single midfielder, because he likes to go forward too much, and with the strength of the Ivorian, he is pressed in the midfielder In terms of position, that is definitely inferior.

But after taking away Yaya Toure and becoming Busquets, Barcelona began to frantically pursue no mistakes, no mistakes, they became more and more obsessed with possession, too many crosses, less and less direct transmission of...

Of course, it can also be explained that the outside world's restraint on Barcelona is constantly escalating and increasing, forcing Barcelona to reduce mistakes.

For example, the two rounds against Mourinho's Inter Milan in 2010.

Regardless of the reason, judging from the results, Guardiola's team did not play as shockingly, excitingly and unbelievably as in 2009 in the next few years.

Not to mention, later, so many Barcelona players collectively studied Stanislavsky's theory, which was really unlikable.

This is the feeling of Gao Shen's previous life, so he feels very special about this Barcelona team in 2009.

But now the fans are not so shocked.

Because Gao Shen and his Naples seemed to have been spoiled in advance.

Even, almost everyone, including Guardiola himself, feels that there are deep and profound traces in his Barcelona.

Who asked him to be Gao Shen's assistant?

Gao Shen doesn't want to meet Barcelona and Manchester United too early, and he doesn't particularly care about other teams.

Even Liverpool like Benitez is actually going downhill now, and the competitiveness is not that great.

Naples' continuous reversal of Chelsea is enough to prove that the advanced team has the qualifications and strength to compete with any opponent in the quarterfinals.

Gao Shen and Naples also have such confidence.

...

While Gao Shen was discussing with his assistants, Arsenal was the first to be drawn out.

Wenger's Gunners can be regarded as the sufferer of the Serie A team.

Gao Shen also jokingly said: "I don't know if Bruno Conte will feel resentful when he pulls out Arsenal? MMP, I want to pull out Barcelona and kill you! Let you eliminate us Roma!"

Everyone in the office burst into laughter.

"In my opinion, he may choose a weaker team, such as Villarreal or Porto. In this way, as long as Arsenal can reach the semi-finals or even the final, it will not be so obvious for Roma to be eliminated in the round of 16." Ugly." Lucas analyzed.

Everyone also felt that it made sense.

Gao Shen even smiled wryly, it really felt like the national football team participated in the World Cup, and the funeral was celebrated.

In terms of lottery conspiracy theory, it is actually difficult to be true.

All the teams that can reach the top eight are not weak. Unless it is a super strong team like Barcelona, ​​otherwise, the outcome is between the two.

If you want to advance, you still have to rely on your performance in the game.

So Gao Shen seemed relatively calm, no matter who he drew, he could accept it.

As everyone is saying, winning the Champions League requires not only strength, but also luck.

What surprised Gao Shen and others was that after Arsenal was drawn here, Bruno Conte's next one was Naples.

Needless to say, the representative of the city of Rome is still smiling like a flower.

"How do I feel, he looks a little gloating?" Lucas scolded with a smile.

Everyone nodded one after another, they really felt that way.

The quarter-finals encountered Arsenal, which is a pretty good signing.

Of course, if it was better, it would be Porto or Villarreal.

But Gao Shen always felt that he was not so lucky.

...

Arsenal touch Napoli.

Manchester United touch Porto.

Villarreal touches Liverpool.

Barcelona meet Bayern Munich.

The first four teams were divided into the upper half, and the last four teams were divided into the lower half.

In other words, if Naples eliminates Arsenal and advances to the semi-finals, they will encounter Ferguson's Manchester United.

Want to touch Barcelona?

Okay, let's get to the Champions League final first.

This signing operation is quite satisfactory.

After all, in the top eight, it is basically unrealistic to want to touch the underdogs.

Even if it was like Chelsea last season, the signings were over the top and they were almost walks all the way. Didn't they also encounter Liverpool in the semi-finals?

If he really wants to be sent directly to the finals, wouldn't he be the illegitimate child of God?

Besides, whether it's drawing lots or buying lottery tickets, anyway, as long as you gamble on luck, Gao Shen has never won in his past and present lives.

The most outrageous thing is that when he was still in school, he once went to a convenience store to buy a drink and won another eight times in a row. Child of Destiny.

So, he immediately ran to the lottery shop and bought the lottery ticket with all the 100 yuan he saved from his frugal living expenses.

As a result... the whole army was wiped out!

Since then, Gao Shen no longer believes in luck.

But this also brought him an advantage, that is, every time he gambled on his luck, he prepared for the worst.

Without hope, naturally there will be no disappointment.

So fine.

...

After the draw results came out, the outside world had their own opinions and comments on the draw results of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Serie A generally believes that Naples' signing luck is not good, but it is not bad.

At least did not meet the strongest Barcelona and Manchester United.

The Roman newspaper Repubblica reminded Naples that Arsenal is not as weak as imagined, and Wenger's team has also performed very competitively in the Champions League this season.

But this somewhat conceals the embarrassing suspicion that Rome was eliminated.

In London, England, when the result of the draw came out, Wenger accepted interviews with media reporters.

The godfather of the Gunners said that Naples is a very competitive team, while Arsenal has rich experience in the Champions League knockout. "I think the chances of both sides winning and advancing are equal."

As for the schedule of host first and then away, Wenger said that it is completely acceptable.

"We need to work hard to gain the advantage at home in the first leg, which will make the second leg more active."

Wenger also commented on Naples' head coach Gao Shen, who he believes is the most exciting of the new generation of head coaches.

"I've played against him, I know, he always surprises with his performances in cup games."

Wenger said that precisely because of Gao Shen and Naples, Arsenal need to be more cautious and step by step.

But Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis, far away at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, clearly sees it differently.

After Naples was drawn, the Arsenal executive was so happy from ear to ear, he even said unceremoniously: "We are stronger than Naples. I am very satisfied with this draw!"

Later, Gazidis also specially explained.

He believes that the game against Roma in the round of 16 was too tense, and the Red Wolves put a lot of pressure on Arsenal, but the youngsters of Arsenal managed to withstand the pressure and beat Roma in a very difficult environment, which proves that It affects the overall strength of Arsenal and the quality of players.

"It's a good sign, no doubt about it!"

"What we need to do now is to focus on preparing for the game, learn from the experience of the knockout round of the top 16, and strive to win the semi-final tickets at home in the first round."

Compared with Gazidis' high-profile, Naples general manager Marino is much more low-key.

There is no way, the team is a team that has just emerged, and the finances are not rich. It is already very popular to be able to reach the knockout round, and now it has advanced to the quarterfinals. Naples is already quite satisfied. .

Where would Marino dare to expect more?

Even De Laurentiis, who lives in Naples, Italy, just said, "The Champions League is a huge stage, every team has his value, Arsenal is a huge challenge, but we will do everything we can to qualify. round."

Obviously, in the Champions League, the Germans, who have always been high-profile and outspoken, have restrained their character.

On the contrary, in Castel Volturno, Gao Shen also faced an interview with the Italian media. He said very high-profilely, "This is a good signing. I like to meet Arsenal and beat the Gunners. I have experience."

"In 2006, when I first coached Real Madrid, the first Champions League game was against Arsenal. We reversed Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium and advanced to the quarterfinals."

"Want to beat Arsenal? No problem!"

"Look, I'll demonstrate again!"
