Chapter 401 Get What You Want

Different from previous years, the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals left UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland for the first time, but was held at the venue of the Champions League final.

This time, it is the City Hall of Paris, France.

The lottery started at twelve o'clock on time, and it was broadcast live to the world.

At the Milanello training base in Milan, Italy, Kaka and AC Milan's teammates were also sitting in front of the TV in the lounge, watching live TV and caring about the opponents the team would meet next.

According to the lottery rules, this time the eight teams will be divided into the upper and lower halves, with unlimited draws, and teams from the same country can meet.

AC Milan's Galliani previously said in an interview with the media that the team they least wanted to meet was Inter Milan, but this team stopped in the round of 16, and they have nothing to fear.

As for Juventus, AC Milan is not too afraid.

Capello's team played a little conservative this season, with weak offensive ability, and most importantly, excellent defense.

The double midfielder composed of Vieira and Emerson is really too extravagant. In addition, Capello's coaching style has always been stable, making Juventus this season, whether it is the league or the Champions League. Not pretty.

Capello's one-to-zero doctrine was once again criticized by the outside world, but it could not hold back the stability of others.

AC Milan beat Juventus 3-1 at home in the league and is not afraid of this team.

Outside of Serie A, what AC Milan is more reluctant to encounter is Rijkaard's Barcelona, ​​which is the strongest attacking team in Europe this season. No one has to fear three points.

In addition, AC Milan is not afraid of any opponent!

Kaka sat among his teammates and did not participate in the discussion of his teammates, but he thought of Yang Yang in his mind.

Will Ajax be drawn?

This idea has been lingering in Kaka's mind.

AC Milan's strength is indeed better than that of Ajax, but it is impossible to say that they will win.

...

The draw ceremony was under the auspices of UEFA CEO Olsen. Laurent Blanc, the main defender of France who won the World Cup in 1998, served as the draw guest. Real Madrid legend Gento and last year's Champions League champion Liverpool captain Jay Ladd played with the trophy and passed the trophy through Olsen to Paris Mayor Delano.

From today onwards, the Saint-Bride's Cup will be on public display in Paris until the final day.

Gento is one of the Real Madrid players who won the first Champions League. He is also the only player in the world who has won six Champions Leagues. In the past few decades, no one has ever been able to reach his level.

It can be seen through the live TV lens that the general manager of AC Milan Galliani is on the scene.

The eight-team draw went quickly.

The first to be drawn was the first match in the first half. Benfica from the Portuguese Super League drew Barcelona in La Liga.

This signing made the Barcelona representative excited. Everyone knows that this has basically announced that Barcelona will enter the semi-finals ahead of schedule.

With the strength of Rijkaard's team, it is impossible for Benfica to snipe them.

The first group to be drawn in the second half was Lyon against Villarreal.

This suddenly made the lottery scene and in front of the TV a breath of fresh air.

Four teams came out and the remaining four were Ajax, Arsenal, Juventus and AC Milan.

No matter how these four teams are drawn, they will be in a strong duel.

Among them, the overall strength of Ajax is relatively weak, Arsenal, Juventus and AC Milan will be relatively better.

And in Blanco's next small ball, after it was opened, the third team in the upper half was Ajax.

…………

…………

Amsterdam, The Netherlands, De Tokmost.

Yang Yang did not take a nap as usual, but stayed in the rest area to watch the live broadcast.

He also cares about the team's opponent in the next game.

The moment Olsen announced Ajax's name, he could clearly feel a gust of breath in the lounge area.

Everyone started to get nervous.

In theory, Ajax has the possibility of meeting Arsenal, but this may not be a good thing for the Dutch team.

The two groups have played two games in the group stage, and the second game was not very good, and the first game was Ajax's 2-1 victory at home, which seemed to have a certain advantage, but in fact, Arsenal played against Ajax. Cox will know better.

Juventus is difficult to deal with, the defense is very good, and there are two former Ajax players in the team, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Trabelsi. If you only look at the strength of the lineup, Ajax is really good. There is no advantage.

The double midfielder composed of Vieira and Emerson, plus Nedved and Camoranesi, it is difficult for Ajax's midfield to carry the opponent, and it is likely to fall into the same situation as last season. Such a difficult situation.

But Yang Yang doesn't mind meeting Juventus either, because he wants to see if he has made progress this year.

Juventus was unable to break through the impregnable wall a year ago, will it be able to break through a year later?

However, what he most wants to meet is AC Milan.

The midfield strength of this team is not bad. Although the three midfielders composed of Seedorf, Pirlo and Gattuso are excellent in passing and controlling the ball, their defensive problems are not small. Still one of the strongest teams in European football right now.

The reason why Yang Yang wants to touch AC Milan is because he still remembers the grudge two years ago and the challenge he gave Kaka.

...

Looking at the TV screen, Blanco drew another small ball, and the Ajax players were very nervous.

Yang Yang was also somewhat uneasy in his heart. After all, the lottery was related to the future trend of the team, but he still smiled calmly and comforted his teammates.

"Don't be nervous, no matter who the opponent is drawn, just fight!"

Hearing what Yang Yang said, the teammates also lightened their burdens a little.

Blanco unscrewed the ball and handed the note to Olsen, who turned it over neatly.

"AC Milan!"

There was a clear exclamation in the venue.

In other words, there is no need to watch another matchup in the second half, Arsenal vs. Juventus.

The reason why we have to draw lots is to decide the home and away games.

Ajax meets AC Milan!

Yang Yang's long-awaited duel is finally here!

"I got what I wanted!" Yang Yang stood up and said fiercely.

Sneijder, Maxwell and De Jong also nodded.

As early as September, when Yang Yang invited everyone to eat at Shen Ji Chinese Restaurant in Almere, he already expressed his attitude that he wanted to touch AC Milan, but then Ajax and AC Milan were the first to qualify for the group, so naturally it was impossible. meet.

And the top eight can meet, it can indeed be said to be lucky.

"It's been two years. It's time to resolve the grudge from two years ago!" Yang Yang shouted loudly.

"That's right, I've been holding my stomach full of anger for the past two years, and now I'm just getting it back in one breath!" Sneijder also shouted loudly.

According to the schedule, Ajax is the first guest before the host, relatively speaking, the schedule is more favorable.

But football games still rely on strength to speak.

"Kaka, we finally met!" Yang Yang muttered to himself.

What he didn't know was that at the same time, Kaka was also full of expectations in the Milanello training base.

"Since we met, I could beat you to the ground two years ago, and I can still make you bow your heads two years later!"

…………

…………

As soon as the results of the draw for the quarter-finals were released, it immediately caused an uproar around the world.

The shady narrative of the lottery is once again buzzing.

The reason is very simple, Ajax and AC Milan are the most outstanding attacking teams in this Champions League.

AC Milan eliminated Bayern Munich by a total score of 5-2 at home and away in the round of 16. This report card is not something that any team can do, because Bayern Munich is not inferior to other giants at all.

However, the Rossoneri did not lose out in the away game, and completely suppressed at home, showing a very good ability to control the game.

However, the Rossoneri's problem is also obvious, and that is defense.

Neither the defense nor the goalkeeper, Dida, have been satisfactory this season, especially Dida. After two seasons of perfect performance, the Brazilian goalkeeper's form has fallen sharply this season.

Another problem is that the left-back, whether it is Sergio or Jankulovsky, has not performed reassuringly, and Nesta's partner also has hidden dangers, which also makes people suspicious of AC Milan .

Ajax's resume is also excellent. They beat Arsenal in the group and defeated Real Madrid 4-1 in the round of 16. It is also the most eye-catching result in the Champions League this season, especially the hat-trick of the teenager Yang Yang, which is even more brilliant. lofty.

Interestingly, Ajax's problems are also on the defensive end.

Both Shevchenko and Yang Yang currently lead the Champions League scorer list with eight goals. The two leading scorers are in excellent condition, and the defenses of both teams have weaknesses and deficiencies, which has also caused many people to express this. It's going to be an interesting matchup.

But from a comprehensive assessment, AC Milan is better, and there is no suspense to win.

Galliani said in an interview with the media after attending the draw ceremony in Paris, "Ajax is not an easy team to deal with, they have very good players and a top scorer in Europe, There is also an experienced manager, which makes this team difficult to deal with."

"But we are still very confident that we can beat our opponents and advance to the semi-finals."

The general manager of AC Milan then said that compared with the quarter-finals, he was more worried about the semi-finals.

"We were placed in the top half, and after entering the semi-finals, we will meet Barcelona, ​​which will obviously be our biggest test, because Barcelona is currently the favorite team in the Champions League."

For Galliani's remarks, the domestic media in the Netherlands expressed dissatisfaction, believing that Galliani lacks respect for Ajax. He has already begun to look forward to the semi-finals in advance before the quarter-finals are played. .

Ajax coach Ronald Koeman made it clear in an interview with the media, "We are indeed not a strong European team, but we are definitely not a weak team that can be slaughtered by others."

Yang Yang was also interviewed by the media according to the club's arrangement the day before the home game against PSV Eindhoven in the 28th round of the Eredivisie.

He firmly stated, "We will use our performance to make any team that ignores us pay the most painful price!"
