Episode [151]: The Desire to Kill Me Will Never Die!

There are three rules for the draw of the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League. The first is for clubs under the same Football Association to avoid, the second is for two teams in the same group to avoid, and the third is for the first in the group to play against the second in the group.

That's the general rule.

Let’s take Leeds United as an example to explain this rule:

Leeds United are first in the group, and their opponent can only be drawn from the second place in the group. Therefore, the second-placed teams in the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League this time are Chelsea, Inter Milan, Sporting Lisbon, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Lyon, Arsenal and Real Madrid.

The first is to avoid teams under the Football Association, that is, Leeds United cannot draw Chelsea and Arsenal. Secondly, the second place player in the same group must also be avoided, that is, even Atletico Madrid cannot be drawn.

Therefore, the only opponents that Leeds United can draw are Inter Milan, Sporting Lisbon, Villarreal, Lyon and Real Madrid.

To put it bluntly, seeing this result, Zhong Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

The top 16 teams in the UEFA Champions League this season are all very strong, and the second-placed teams in the group are also very, very strong. This top 16 knockout round will definitely be very difficult to play.

To be honest, after knowing this situation, the teams Zhong Cheng least wanted to be drawn were Inter Milan and Real Madrid. Yes, these two teams are indeed very strong. At this stage, Zhong Cheng naturally hopes to be more relaxed.

However, the remaining teams Sporting Lisbon, Lyon and Villarreal are not very good either.

But compared to Real Madrid and Inter Milan, these teams are easier.

If Zhong Cheng had to choose, Zhong Cheng would definitely choose Sporting Lisbon.

Because relatively speaking, Sporting Lisbon should be easier to deal with, Zhong Cheng himself thinks so.

In fact, in Zhong Cheng's opinion, the best person to deal with should be Panathinaikos, who is number one in the group.

Unfortunately, Leeds United can only choose to play against the second team in the group, and there is no possibility of drawing Panathinaikos.

Zhong Cheng knew that the UEFA Champions League should be difficult this season, but he did not expect it to be so difficult. It seems that Zhong Cheng will spend more energy on the UEFA Champions League next and give the league a little more time.

This time you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Now that he thought of this, Zhong Cheng felt very calm when he was drawing lots. As for who he drew, Zhong Cheng didn't care, anyone would do!

Now is the time to fight for character.

Cristiano Ronaldo said to Zhong Cheng beside him: "Who do you want to draw, boss?"

Zhong Cheng smiled lightly and said: "It doesn't matter who it is, what's important is that we all have to win!"

Cristiano Ronaldo was shocked when he heard Zhong Cheng's words, and he instantly understood Zhong Cheng's mood. Yeah, it doesn't matter who it is. The important thing is that we have to win!

Cristiano Ronaldo also calmed down and watched quietly.

Looking at Cristiano Ronaldo's appearance, Zhong Cheng raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly.

Soon, the draw results for the top 16 of the 2008-2009 UEFA Champions League were officially announced. The matchups are as follows:

Chelsea vs. Juventus, Villarreal vs. Panathinaikos, Sporting Lisbon vs. Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid vs. Porto, Lyon vs. Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid vs. Leeds United, Arsenal vs. Roma, Inter Milan vs. Manchester United .

This is the result of the last 16 matches of the UEFA Champions League in the 2008-2009 season.

After seeing this result, the British mainland media began to bombard UEFA again. This is simply a desire to kill me!

Look, who are the opponents of the four teams in the Premier League?

Chelsea's opponent is Juventus, Leeds United's opponent is Real Madrid, Arsenal's opponent is Roma, and Manchester United's opponent is Inter Milan. This damn team simply wants to wipe out all the Premier League teams.

In the past few consecutive years, the results of the Premier League teams have been very, very good, very amazing. For several consecutive years, Premier League teams have reached the top 16, and even all the top eight. Even the top four teams have three Premier League teams.

The Premier League is too strong, and UEFA does not want to see one company dominate. The Premier League teams have performed too well, and this is not in UEFA's interests.

Many people are now claiming that UEFA is now enthusiastic about Barcelona, ​​and FC Barcelona is the godson of UEFA!

The media in the British mainland madly claimed that UEFA was operating behind the scenes.

Of course, the Italian media has the same voice. Look at this matchup. Isn’t UEFA going to get rid of the Premier League and Serie A?

At this time, UEFA's shady theories are very, very serious.

Many people are madly criticizing the damn UEFA, of course Platini is the first among them. Everyone claims that Platini is helping his godson Barcelona. Otherwise, Barcelona's opponent would not be Lyon.

Now the outside media is embarrassing UEFA!

However, after the draw results came out, more and more people are paying attention to the UEFA Champions League, and fans are paying more and more attention to this game.

However, at this time, some wealthy clubs stood up and claimed that the establishment of a European Super League was imperative, and they could not continue to allow UEFA to do whatever they wanted.

UEFA is completely using them to create these powerful matchups to attract attention.

Instead of doing this, it would be better for our wealthy clubs to form an independent Super League and let UEFA play with it. These wealthy clubs no longer need to participate in some so-called group matches, and they will not become bargaining chips for UEFA to win over small teams.

Anyway, at this time, there are a lot of rumors from the outside world.

The image of UEFA is very bad.

At this time, Zhong Cheng was wearing a suit, facing the beautiful woman Bian Yuqing!

Yes, Bian Yuqing is now interviewing Zhong Cheng and asking Zhong Cheng what he thinks of the lottery results!

Zhong Cheng said: "Actually, we can predict this result. The opponents of the Premier League team will never be too weak. Everyone knows why. I won't say more!"

Bian Yuqing frowned slightly, Zhong Cheng was afraid that what he said would cause a lot of controversy.

Zhong Cheng continued: "This season our Leeds United team's main energy is in the Champions League, so no matter who our opponent is, our Leeds United team has only one goal, and that is to win. Therefore, whoever is drawn will be very important to us. Nothing is really important to us!"

Bian Yuqing stared at Zhong Cheng closely to see if Zhong Cheng was duplicity.

Zhong Cheng's eyes were bright and very determined. Bian Yuqing nodded. It seems that Zhong Cheng has great ambitions this season.

Bian Yuqing asked some more questions.

Zhong Cheng said: "Real Madrid's current strength is actually not strong, and we are confident that we can defeat them. What I want to say is that Real Madrid's journey to the Champions League this season is about to end now!"

Bian Yuqing felt Zhong Cheng's strong confidence, but Zhong Cheng's words would definitely trigger a crazy counterattack from the Real Madrid people.

After that, Bian Yuqing went to interview Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo said lightly: "The result of this draw is indeed very interesting. What I want to say is that Real Madrid is very strong, but our Leeds United team is even stronger. This season our Leeds United team won the European Championship." The determination in the league is very strong and I believe we will succeed!”

Bian Yuqing was surprised again. It seemed that the Leeds United people had already held an ideological unification meeting.

Cristiano Ronaldo also said: "What can I say about this game? We completely believe in our head coach, our boss is full of confidence, and we are also full of confidence. Real Madrid is not weak, but we must To win!”

Bian Yuqing seems to understand what Zhong Cheng and Cristiano Ronaldo mean. Leeds United's goal this season is the UEFA Champions League championship.

Leeds United wants to go to the end and has only one goal against everyone.

Bian Yuqing nodded slightly. This was really Zhong Cheng's temperament. Once he did something, he would definitely do the best.

Now many fans are excited. This season's UEFA Champions League top 16 matches have a lot of focus.

This matchup between the top four in the Premier League is very exciting to watch, and many people are paying attention to them.

Many European betting companies are now offering a lot of odds, betting that several Premier League teams will reach the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League this time.

This time, the odds given by the bookmaker are very, very high, which means that they are not optimistic that all the Premier League teams will advance to the quarterfinals. UEFA this time obviously wants to kill the Premier League teams and prevent the Premier League from becoming a dominant player.

The Premier League teams are still very confident in this matchup.

Alex Ferguson, the head coach of the Red Devils Manchester United, was interviewed by media reporters.

Alex Ferguson said: "Inter Milan's strength is good. The team created by Jose Mourinho is difficult to deal with. He is also very familiar with our Manchester United routines. But we still feel bad about this game. I am very confident and I firmly believe that our Red Devils Manchester United team will advance in the end!”

Arsene Wenger also accepted interviews with media reporters. He said: "The Roma team is naturally very strong, there is no doubt about it. Who is not a strong team that can advance to the top 16? Against them We have only one way, and that is to fight hard. I believe we can beat Roma, just like Manchester United did in the previous two years!"

Well, Arsene Wenger gave Roma two stabs in the chest.

In the past two seasons, Roma has met Manchester United. In the past two years, Roma has not escaped to the advantage. When they met for the first time, Manchester United bloodbathed Roma and gave Roma a humiliating record. Last year, they met. The Roma team wanted revenge, but they never expected that the revenge would not come. Instead, they continued to be embarrassed.

Now that Arsene Wenger said this, didn't this stab the Romans' hearts twice?

Scolari was also interviewed by media reporters. He said: "Our Chelsea team is very dissatisfied with this draw. This draw makes me feel as if it was arranged. It makes me incredibly excited." . Although our opponent Juventus has returned to the Champions League, their strength cannot be underestimated. Our goal at Chelsea is to defeat them until the end!"

Scolari's words obviously meant something, which surprised many people, and the media reporters were overjoyed. It will definitely attract everyone's attention the next day, and UEFA will even focus on taking care of Scolari!

Now Zhong Cheng doesn't pay attention to this. Zhong Cheng is now preparing for the weekend league. Leeds United will face Luiz Scolari's Chelsea at the weekend, which is a tough battle. Chung Cheng has to hit all the attention to beat Chelsea.
