Chapter 221 8 Hexagrams 1
All matches in the Champions League quarter-finals are over.
Yang Muge's Schalke 04 lost to Real Madrid 1:3 in an away game and were eliminated with a total score of 2:9, and he is also the only Chinese player to be eliminated so far - he did not participate in the Champions League at all at Inter Milan Guo Nu does not count.
He Ying's Paris Saint-Germain defeated Bayer Leverkusen 2:1 at home in the second round and successfully entered the quarterfinals.
The top eight are all born, they are Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid.
UEFA will conduct another draw ceremony to determine the Champions League quarter-finals and semi-finals.
When the Champions League reaches the quarterfinals, there are basically no weak teams. These eight teams are all superior in strength. Any two teams meeting can be regarded as a "strong dialogue".
What Chinese fans are most concerned about is the performance of Chinese players in the Champions League.
If possible, they hope that the three teams with the remaining four Chinese players will not meet each other until the semi-finals. By then, all three teams with Chinese players will be able to enter the semi-finals. At the very least, it will be guaranteed There is a team with Chinese players that can definitely appear in the finals.
It would be even better if there could be a "Chinese Derby" on the stage of the Champions League final.
Of course, these are the best wishes of Chinese fans, and it is difficult to realize them.
Because the team without Chinese players is very strong, it is not easy to eliminate them.
During the draw of the quarter-finals, many fans in China stayed in front of the TV or online, waiting for the final result.
Manchester United and Bayern Munich were drawn together, followed by a showdown between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
So far, there are no Chinese players in the four teams, which means that the remaining two duels will definitely have a "Chinese Derby", depending on who meets whom.
Before the draw, a reporter interviewed several Chinese players and asked them which team they most wanted to meet.
Sun Pan said that as long as it is not Atletico Madrid, everything else is fine.
He Ying’s answer was Barcelona, and he wanted to meet Barcelona the most. But now it seems that his wish cannot be realized.
Zhou Yi half-jokingly expressed that he did not want to meet Sun Pan.
Because "it was him in the Champions League last season and it was him in the Super Cup. There was nothing new at all. I almost threw up!"
But from the current point of view, it is really possible for him to meet Sun Pan...
Yan Min wants to meet Real Madrid.
What happens in the end?
Real Madrid were drawn with Chelsea.
Sun Pan met Real Madrid.
So He Ying's Paris Saint-Germain met with Zhou Yi and Yan Min's Dortmund...
Chinese Derby.
At the same time, after the quarter-finals, the winner between Manchester United and Bayern Munich will meet the winner between Real Madrid and Chelsea in the semi-finals. The other semi-final opponents are the winner between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and Winner of Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund.
If you are lucky enough, maybe you can stage the "Chinese Derby" again in the Champions League final...
※※※
After the draw results came out, Chinese fans discussed the draw results on the Internet, and the Five Little Dragons also discussed the draw in the "Exclude Lao Guo" group.
"Damn, Real Madrid!" Sun Pan was a little dissatisfied with the result.
Zhou Yi teased him: "Panpan, you said you can do it with anyone except Atletico Madrid. Why are you so unhappy now?"
"Isn't it the same as you? I'm tired of aesthetics. When I was at Atletico Madrid, I played Real Madrid all day long, and I thought I could do something new this time..."
"Then you can only meet Bayern Munich to be a little bit fresh. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atlético Madrid are not good, nor are we and He Ying's Paris Saint-Germain." Zhou Yi said. "Manchester United is always against you in the Premier League, but Bayern Munich has a one-in-eight chance. How is that possible?"
Sun Pan changed the topic and brought out He Ying x-on:.
"Lao He, your chance has come!"
He Ying was very surprised: "What chance?"
"What a chance to advance to the semifinals!"
"Why?" He Ying didn't understand.
"Just think about it, given Dortmund's bad form this season, if you meet them at this time, you will be sent to the semi-finals!"
Zhou Yi: "Haha."
"What are you laughing at!" Sun Pan asked. "Am I wrong? You are currently competing with Bayern Munich in the league and are distracted by the Champions League. How long can you sustain your current incomplete lineup? If you ask me, you should decisively give up the Champions League and focus on League. Win the league title and let Guardiola suffer..."
"What if we win another double crown?" Zhou Yi said in the group.
Seeing this sentence, Sun Pan first typed "..." and then said: "Let's talk about world peace!"
Then Guo Nu also bubbled up in the group and made a surprised expression.
"Hey, is Lao Guo still here?" Zhou Yi said. "Speaking of which, our group really needs to live up to its name. Every time we play in the Champions League, it is a live 'ostracizing Lao Guo' activity..."
"Pfft, it's true." Sun Pan echoed. "Lao Guo, can Inter Milan get into the top six in Serie A this season?"
The topic was naturally transferred to Hei Guo Nu, because Zhou Yi's "double crown" topic was so shocking that after Zhou Yi said it, people couldn't take it anymore.
Guo Nu didn't know what to say other than covering his face and smiling bitterly.
At this time, Zhou Yi's QQ suddenly started beeping. Zhou Yi saw that it was Yang Muge who was looking for him in private.
"Zhou Yi, do you really want to win the double crown?"
"Of course, is it possible that I still pretended to take it?" Zhou Yi then made a lewd expression with his eyes bent and a smile.
"Uh..." Yang Muge didn't seem to know what to say.
"What? You think it's too difficult?"
"If you didn't have so many injuries this season, I really believe you could do it, but now..."
"Hey, don't be scared by the voice of media opinion. In fact, our injuries are not that serious. If you think about it carefully, Gundogan and Subotic are the only ones seriously injured. The injuries of others are not serious enough. The game will definitely be unbeatable.”
"But you cannot rotate normally most of the time, and it does consume a lot of physical energy. When it comes to the sprint stage at the end of the season, whether it is the league or the Champions League, a lot of physical energy is needed to support it. This is an objective difficulty. Ah." Yang Muge still found it incredible.
"Of course, of course it is more difficult than before." Zhou Yi did not escape this reality. "But if it's too difficult, why don't you just do it? It's just that it's a little more difficult, but it doesn't mean it won't work. You always have to give it a try."
"Okay..." Yang Muge didn't know what to say. "Then I can only wish you good luck. It has nothing to do with me anyway..."
"Speaking of which, Schalke 04 is also enjoying a good momentum right now. It is ranked third without any fuss. We must strive to participate in the Champions League next season. Being able to participate in the Champions League every season is not only good for the team, but also for the team. You yourself are also very helpful." Zhou Yi also encouraged Yang Muge, who was eliminated from the Champions League.
"Uh-huh."
"By the way, let me gossip again. Have you ever considered leaving Schalke 04?"
"I'm not thinking about it now. I feel that I haven't played for three seasons at Schalke 04, and I haven't accumulated enough. I can still learn and improve. It would be bad for me to consider leaving now. Let's talk about it later."
Zhou Yi has always respected the ideas of people who have their own ideas, because he himself is such a person. He hopes that others will respect his opinions, and he will naturally respect the opinions of others.
"That's not bad. Then just go with what you want. That's good."
Yang Muge first made a toothy smile, and then asked: "I also want to ask a gossip - will you leave Dortmund this summer?"
After Zhou Yi saw this question, he was stunned for a moment in front of the computer.
Cortana, who was sitting next to her and reading a book, could always hear the crackling sound of Zhou Yi typing on the keyboard. Suddenly for a few seconds, the room suddenly became very quiet, which caught her attention.
She raised her head and looked at her boyfriend, and found Zhou Yi sitting in front of the computer, with his hands on the keyboard, but his fingers were all hanging in the air, not typing, as if he was in a daze.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
Zhou Yi did not answer her, but started typing on the computer.
"...I may leave or stay. I can't tell now, and no other team is looking for me."
Soon Yang Muge's reply sounded over there: "I think you can leave. You have taken everything you can in Dortmund, so what's the point of staying. You should go to a bigger stage, a better place." Team, otherwise your talent and ability will be wasted. The most important thing is that after you leave, our Schalke 04 should win the Ruderby!"
Zhou Yi made a squinting expression.
Over there, Yang Muge replied with a laughing emoticon.
The chat between the two ends here.
Zhou Yi turned around and looked at Cortana.
"What?" Cortana asked.
"Lao Yang just asked me if I would leave Dortmund this summer."
Cortana asked, "How did you answer him?"
"I said maybe, maybe not. I can't tell."
"If there is a suitable invitation, then leave." Cortana said, seemingly seeing the melancholy in Zhou Yi's tone.
Zhou Yi was a little surprised: "I thought you would persuade me to stay..."
This time it was Cortana who was surprised: "Why should I advise you to stay?"
"I think you are from Dortmund and you are the Dortmund team doctor..."
"I am not a Dortmund fan, nor am I a member of the Dortmund club management." Cortana spread her hands. "What impact you will have on Dortmund if you leave or stay is not a question I have to consider."
Only then did Zhou Yi remember that the Wagners had given Cortana a Dortmund season ticket. Cortana had always been a Dortmund ticket holder in name and had a seat in the South Stand. But Cortana did not go to the South Stand to watch the game. She had never considered herself a Dortmund fan. So it’s normal to have such thoughts…
"Okay, then... if I transfer and leave, why won't we have to live in two separate places?"
"Why do you think so?"
"You are the Dortmund team doctor. I went to other teams, and you..."
"I can resign." Cortana blocked Zhou Yi's other words with one sentence.
Zhou Yi looked at Cortana blankly.
The woman smiled and said to him: "When asking your agent to negotiate with the other club, don't forget to add a clause of 'reserving a team doctor' in the contract."
Zhou Yi came back to his senses and hugged Cortana directly: "Let's get married this summer!"
"You haven't proposed yet...well..."
Cortana couldn't protest because Zhou Yi's tongue was almost in her mouth...
