Nyon, Switzerland.

Once again, the club coaches of the quarter-finals of the knockout rounds gathered here. This time Worrall stood in the crowd and was no longer alone. Many coaches, club presidents or presidents came over to greet him.

Today's Worrall is a European celebrity, and the team is the most shining and powerful team in Europe, so naturally many people will take the initiative to say hello. It's just that Carlmond, who came with him, was always wary in his eyes, because he felt that the presidents and presidents of other clubs had bad intentions.

I guess they all want to poach Worrall? Why don't you come and say hello to him?

After staying in the position of CEO for so long, his senses are always very sensitive, and he will never be wrong.

Of course, there were people who greeted him.

"Hey,"

"Fatty,"

It's Ferguson.

Ferguson was proud, his face wrinkled into bitter melon every day a few days ago, and Ferguson didn't smile at all before yesterday's game was over.

But now Manchester United has come along and the mood is very good. I can finally strike up a conversation with Calmond.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he called Kalmond a fat man.

"Thank you."

Ferguson's face was full of smiles.

"If you don't succeed in sniping, it's Trapattoni standing in front of you."

"Oh."

Carlmund glanced at Ferguson with a blank expression, a sense of disgust for him, as if Ferguson owed him something.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"We didn't snipe Bayer Leverkusen, if you were strong or you escaped, I wish you would lose the game."

"Huh,"

Ferguson still smiled, "You must still be mad at me." ”

"What am I mad at at you?" Carlmond shrugged, pretending not to do so.

"Don't pretend, isn't it just because I'm digging into your corners? In fact, if I don't dig your corner, other teams will also dig your corner, so fat man, there is no need to take this matter to heart, I still come openly, and others come secretly. ”

As he said this, Ferguson deliberately looked at Hoeness, who was not far away.

This time, after Bayern Munich reached the last 8, head coach Heathfield did not come to the draw on the spot, but was selected by general manager Hoeness.

Of course, everyone understands the reason why they didn't come. The scandal-ridden Heathfield could not possibly appear in front of the media.

Ferguson's meaning is obvious, referring to Hoeness secretly accosting Ze Roberto and then poaching Roberto.

And he, Ferguson, came above board, so what is there to be angry about Carlmond?

At this time, Kalmond's face finally softened.

"But it's not the time, you want to shake our morale, and if you really want to, you should tell us at the end of the season."

"Yes, I admit it, so I'm talking to you now, we at Manchester United are still interested in Zheng Zhi."

!

Carlmond took a step back in an instant, looking at Ferguson warily again.

"The heart is not dead, is it?"

"How could we possibly sell him?"

Ferguson waved his hand and continued.

"Fatty, you know."

"You can't keep them."

"You think, now that several guys in your team are being targeted by other clubs in Europe, as long as enough price is given, those players will definitely be tempted, even if your club forcibly keeps them, they can't play well for the club, right?"

Twisted melons are not sweet! Ferguson's words hit the nail on the head, straight to the heart of Carlmond.

"At that time, such a team will not be able to compare its combat effectiveness with what it is now, so it is necessary to let go when it is time to let go."

'Of course we're not talking about what is happening now, I have to reiterate that we're thinking about this summer.'

'I just want to say that they will say hello to me in advance when the time comes, and no matter which club wants to do this, they are not as sincere as Manchester United.'

Ferguson patted him on the shoulder, almost earnestly.

Carlmond was still passive, and didn't answer, but it was a tacit acquiescence.

But then Ferguson said again:

"Zheng Zhi, Ronaldinho and Ballack, I will pick one of these three players."

Calmond almost fainted......

……

At the draw site, the draw for the League Cup was carried out first, and then the draw for the Champions Cup.

The UEFA president and the guest of honour for the draw, Dutch football legend Basten, stood on the rostrum together and prepared to start the draw.

Basten first pronounced the names of the last eight of the Champions League. Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Porto, Bayern Munich, Lazio and Bayer Leverkusen.

The first to come out was Real Madrid, who met Chelsea.

Then there was Bayern Munich, who drew Porto.

Fack!

As soon as he saw these two results, Worrall's heart broke a little. This means that Bayer Leverkusen has no choice at all, and must only run into Barcelona!

Barcelona coach Louis van Gaal, who is not far away, is also in pain.

They didn't want to draw Bayer Leverkusen either, but they did.

The most difficult opponent, and perhaps the strongest opponent, is as confident as Van Gaal would not dare to say that Barcelona can beat Bayer Leverkusen. But now that the raw rice is cooked and matured, they are drawn to Leverkusen.

The last group was Valencia vs. Lazio, which attracted little attention.

In this way, the quarterfinals are out.

Real Madrid vs Porto

Bayern Munich vs Chelsea

Bayer Leverkusen vs Barcelona

Manchester United vs Lazio

The result of the lottery is really some people crying and some people laughing. In the first time after the draw, Real Madrid coach Bosque was smiling, maybe he felt that he had drawn a big package?

Real Madrid's opponent is Porto of the Portuguese Super League, and the opponent is indeed relatively simple.

More people frowned, especially Ferguson.

Before the draw began, his satisfied face turned into a bitter gourd face again.

Having just escaped from Fiorentina and running into Lazio, it's no wonder he's happy.

Fiorentina has tossed enough, and Lazio is even stronger. This is the PK between the Premier League leaders and the Serie A leaders.

mmp~

As for Bayern Munich and Chelsea, Hoeness is even less likely to have any joy, even Hertha Berlin has not taken advantage of Chelsea, and now it is Bayern Munich's turn, and he is also cautious. Perhaps it was the defeat to Manchester United in the Champions League final last year, which added a bit of a burden to Hoeness's heart.

But no matter what, Van Gaal's expression is not ugly, he really doesn't want to touch Bayer Leverkusen.

Why do they have to be?

As he walked out of the draw, his mind kept circling around Bayer Leverkusen.

"Luis,"

"What do you think of the draw?"

Van Gaal was stopped by Spanish reporters halfway through.

On the chest hangs the sign of "World Sports".

Van Gaal didn't notice at first and almost crashed into the opposition.

"What did you say?"

He asked.

"I want to ask you what you think of the results of the draw?"

"Ah, the results of the lottery?"

He paused for a moment, but still pretended to be calm and said: "It's okay, it's expected, and it's unexpected." You can't always be so lucky and always want to draw the lottery you want. ”

'Bayer Leverkusen is difficult to play, everybody knows it, but if we want to win the title, we have to beat any opponent.

As the head coach of Barcelona, Van Gaal's goal is naturally to lead the team to the final and win the final title.

"What are you going to do with them?"

"We have the new Ballon d'Or winner Rivaldo, who is one of the best players in the world. But we don't just have Rivaldo, all of our players are geniuses and I think that's what Leverkusen thinks about, not us. ”

Drag~

At least in terms of mouth, Van Gaal is not going to lose.

'They also have a lot of talented players, but they lack experience in the Champions League, so the group stage is not the same as the knockout stage, and when it comes to the knockout stage, everything will change.

So confident? The reporter of "World Sports" was very surprised, even they did not dare to be optimistic about Barcelona, Barcelona is very strong, but the level of Bayer Leverkusen is the same, the probability of promotion should be about five or five, where does Van Gaal's confidence come from?

Ballon d'Or winner Rivaldo's form is indeed very good, whether Barcelona can reach the semi-finals, Rivaldo is the key, and other players in other positions are also fierce.

However, the opponent's state is also very good, the young Brazilian Ronaldinho, Zheng Zhi in the backfield has always been very stable, Barcelona is really difficult to pass this hurdle.

However, what Van Gaal said is actually right, in terms of the luxury of the lineup, Barcelona is actually stronger than Bayer Leverkusen!

Hespor, Reziger, Deu, Abelardo, Pellegrino, Frank de Boer, Puyol, Bogarde, Sergi, Pep Guardiola, Cocu, Xavi, Gabri, Ronald de Boer, Enrique, Dani, Figo, Littmanning, Rivaldo, Kluivert, Zenden, Simao......

On the cards, it's better than Leverkusen. More than half of the Ajax players in 1995 are here, and it can be said that Van Gaal has almost poached the most awesome talent in the Netherlands.

However, Van Gaal's all-attacking and all-defensive flashy tactics still did not win Barcelona much. A good hand is played poorly.

When looking forward to this game, the "Ace newspaper" actually stood on the side of Leverkusen, and there was no way, the Ace newspaper was on the side of Real Madrid, so it was natural to step on Barcelona.

- Even if the entire Dutch national team is moved, Van Gaal's dismissal can't win against Bayer Leverkusen, and the attacking team lets go of the scum group, what will they win?

Marca also took a similar view - there was no way to solve the defensive problem, Van Gaal's side could not reach the last four, the characteristics of the two teams are extremely similar, but Bayer Leverkusen is the team that really balances attack and defence, although they have top stars such as Rivaldo, Figo, Litmanen, Kluivert, Pep Guardiola and the De Boer brothers, they are still not a reassuring team.

"World Sport" - This is almost the Ajax youth army VS Bayer Leverkusen youth army back then, who will kill the deer? We will have to wait until the two rounds are over.

Daily Sport backed Barcelona – at Camp Nou, Barcelona will knock Bayer Leverkusen back to square one!

……

……

On the German side, the analysis of "Kicker" is very objective - in terms of form, it is obvious that Bayer Leverkusen is superior, Barcelona wins in the knockout stage, and the probability of both sides advancing is five or five. Barcelona is strong in attack and weak in defense, while Bayer Leverkusen is more balanced, maybe it is the play of the stars of both sides that breaks the balance?

Bild is not so objective - Bayern beat Real Madrid, Real Madrid beat Barcelona, and Bayer Leverkusen beat Bayern, so Bayer Leverkusen definitely beat Barcelona!

How simple, where are there so many complex analyses?

Europe's leading spinach companies have once again adjusted their odds to win the Champions League, with Bayer Leverkusen still in third place, behind Real Madrid and Barcelona.

And they are also slightly optimistic that Barcelona can reach the last four of the Champions League......

Bayer Leverkusen fans are optimistic.

"What is there to be afraid of in Barcelona? They couldn't even win against Manchester United last year and we beat Manchester United all over the place. ”

"What about the Golden Globe winners?"

"Bayer Leverkusen have several Ballon d'Or candidates in the team! I just think that Rivaldo's level is really not as good as Ronaldinho's! ”
