Vol 2 Chapter 1007: Champions League lottery, some people are happy and some are crying


At 19 o'clock on the evening of December 10th, Beijing time, the draw of the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League knockout was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
Before the lottery ceremony began, the main coaches were naturally the targets of the reporter's interview.
In recent years, Mourinho's team has been the Champions League winning hotspot, and this year is also. Mourinho became famous after he won the Champions League in Porto, and then won the championship in Chelsea and Inter Milan, as well as Real Madrid this year.
And Real Madrid, who has just beaten Barcelona, ​​is naturally an opponent that all teams do not want to encounter.
Because of the second place in the group stage, Arsenal is likely to usher in a strong enemy in the 1/8 finals, and even encounter Barcelona who eliminated them last season. Wenger is very calm about this, and Wenger said: "Barcelona is undoubtedly one of the most popular championship teams in the Champions League. We will face any team bravely, even if Barcelona is drawn, there is no fear. ."
"But I don't even want to meet Real Madrid. If I meet them, maybe it means death."
"If we had to face Barcelona or Real Madrid, it would be to face Messi and the Chinese director again. It's too bad. I really don't want this to be a reality at all."
Guardiola, who was just disappointed in the national derby, will definitely not encounter Mourinho in the elimination, so he said very calmly that he does not want to meet the Ligue 1 team as soon as possible: "We don’t want to meet in the Champions League. The French team, they are very strong and have rich football resources, I don’t want to meet them. Take Marseille for example, they are very, very strong, and they are like beasts in physical terms, which can exert great pressure on their opponents. Overall , Their physical and tactical abilities are excellent."
"I don't particularly care about who I draw, no matter who we are, we have to prepare well. In fact, the Serie A team is also difficult to handle."
Because Inter Milan coach Benitez is leading the team to the World Cup finals and cannot attend the event in person, it was Inter Milan director Blanca who participated in the draw.
As the defending champions, Serie A giants have been in a bad state recently. They not only trailed the leader AC Milan by 13 points in the league, they also only qualified as the group's second point in the Champions League. In the 1/8 finals, they may encounter Schal Ke 04, Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Bayern, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Valencia, except for Schalke 04 without the Champions League heritage, the other teams are not the Nerazzurri want to meet in advance, but this also gives them a wreck Determined, Inter Milan’s technical director Blanca named Barcelona:
It’s Barcelona in the knockout? Why not, it’s definitely a very challenging game. It’s better than Real Madrid! I think as long as it’s not drawn Real Madrid, that is a good sign!"
"We all think, don't draw Real Madrid. Other teams are considered a good draw. I think Real Madrid is difficult for other teams to match in Europe, and then Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona's current situation is not very good. Okay. Inter is a member of a huge group afterwards. We think we can fight against any team. Of course, this does not mean that we can beat them. It depends on a lot of details."
In previous years, everyone was afraid of drawing Barcelona, ​​but this year everyone worried about drawing to Real Madrid.
After losing to Inter Milan in the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich vowed to make a comeback. Although the team's current results in the league are not very satisfactory, they are in the Champions League. They are in great strength, especially the ace star Robben is about to recover from injury , The team coach Heinkes said with confidence in the future: "2010 is a good year, we won the double crown. Now Robben has returned, Schweinsteiger also signed a new contract It can be said that this is a happy Christmas, we can be full of optimism about the future. I think everyone is mythical Barcelona and Real Madrid, playing with Barcelona, ​​we have at least 50% win rate, although playing with Real Madrid is a lot more difficult, But there is also a 40% win rate, and football matches are never determined by win rate."
Mourinho also rarely spoke.
After leading Inter Milan to win the six championships last season, Mourinho chose to come to La Liga giants Real Madrid. At the Bernabéu Stadium, his mission is not only to overturn Barcelona's in the league, but also to lead the Royal Forest in the Champions League. Champions League.
"We will fight to the end in every event. We are ready. We will invest in the knockout with the best state and the most concentrated energy."
According to the rules, Real Madrid may encounter opponents such as Arsenal, Inter Milan, Roma and Lyon in the 1/8 finals. He said in a low-key way: "No matter which team is encountered, the game will be very difficult. But we No fear of any opponent, let us see what will happen."
Mourinho, who won three Champions Leagues, did not dare to speak in front of the media. It is really not easy to win the Champions League.
Finally coach Ferguson appeared, and Ferguson's words were the most representative.
"Every coach dreams of winning the Champions League, but the Champions League is the hardest to win. I would rather use five league titles for a Champions League trophy! No, maybe ten!"
You can imagine how hungry Ferguson is for the UEFA Champions League with ten league titles.
Ferguson originally had this hope, but he left Manchester United prematurely. Otherwise, if he sits with two core players of Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo, he can certainly create a myth...
Now, Mourinho is the happiest head coach in the world.
※※※※
In the top 16 in the Champions League, the Premier League has 4 exclusive seats for the fourth time in the last five seasons, 3 seats each in La Liga and Serie A, 2 seats each in Bundesliga and Ligue 1, and the remaining 2 seats belong to the Russian and Danish leagues. The eight teams that won the first place in the group were Tottenham Hotspur, Schalke, Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Bayern, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Valencia; the eight teams that made the second place in the group were Inter Milan and Lyon , Donznek miners, Copenhagen, Rome, Marseille, AC Milan, Arsenal. Among them there are 7 former champion teams, 9 teams have reached the top 16 last season, and 3 teams have entered the Champions League knockout for the first time (Tottenham, Copenhagen, Shakhtar Donetsk).
The 16 payout team follows the principle of drawing lots: the team is first against the second in other teams, but the same football team must avoid it. The team ranked second in the group stage played first at home.
It’s the same for everyone. We’re not even afraid of Barcelona. Are we afraid of other teams? Mourinho is sitting on the Diaoyutai, his expression is very relaxed, and on the contrary, the head coaches of other teams are dignified.
I don't know when Ferguson sat next to Mourinho, and he seemed very quiet.
"Are you afraid of meeting Real Madrid?"
"what?"
"It's the first in the group, how can you meet it, but I hope it will be the last." Ferguson was happy, "I will fight Ronaldo and Dong by then."
Mourinho also smiled.
UEFA Secretary General Infantino presided over the draw, and Milan's former captain Maldini played as a draw guest.
When Maldini pulled out the first team, he was immediately dumbfounded.
"AC Milan."
"Vs Tottenham."
Milan's new head coach Allegri immediately showed a big smile.
Good luck, he got a recruit egg, of course he was happy.
"I'm feeling lucky. I got a good draw." Maldini, who was still handsome, smiled and continued to draw.
"Valencia VS Rome."
The head coach of Valencia smiled, and Rome was still gnawing.
"Schalke VS Miners." The head coaches of both teams laughed happily, because everyone thought the other was a soft persimmon, so good. There is no better signing.
Later, Maldini's expression froze, and then said: "Inter fans must not hate me, your signing is not good..."
"Bayern VS Inter"
Inter fans who watched the live broadcast on TV immediately exploded.
"Fak!"
"Shady! Why Inter Milan got Bayern, Milan got Tottenham? The grades of these two teams are too different, Maldini's luck, do you say we don't hate you? Must!
"Chelsea VS Copenhagen."
Chelsea fans cheered in front of the TV. It was not easy. Chelsea won a good draw in the knockout for the first time.
At this time, Ferguson's heart was set a lot. Because then only Manchester United's opponents are Lyon and Marseille, Manchester United can not meet Arsenal.
These two opponents are actually not very difficult to deal with.
But Wenger's face was very ugly.
I'll you, don't you need to be so ugly?
The remaining two opponents are not Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​choose one out of two! There is simply no way to choose.
Just now tmd should not talk nonsense in front of the media and lose character...
"Real Madrid vs. Lyon."
Real Madrid's name finally appeared~EbookFREE.me~The finale also appeared in advance.
Neither Manchester United nor Arsenal have to choose. Only Barcelona VS? Arsenal; Manchester United VS Marseille.
"Oh, this lottery is OK." Ferguson smiled happily, and he was happy to see Wenger jumping up and down.
"It's okay, Real Madrid's signing is also good." Mourinho also nodded happily, he also looked at Wenger meaningfully.
People's destiny is different...
Just like last season, Arsenal went to Barcelona again. You know that Arsenal were washed by Barcelona last season. Messi even staged a big four in the game...
At this point, the draw for the UEFA Champions League round of 16 elimination ended, and some people were happy and some were crying.
At this time, the World Club Cup finals also started. Benitez knew the lottery results before the start of the game. His face is so good that he can’t see where to go, just like he has lost the finals... remember the site URL , Www. biquxu. Com, easy to read next time, or Baidu input "", you can enter the site
