That day.

The Champions League finals are all over, the media is overwhelming, and in terms of the game, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Juventus are eliminated, which has become a topic of gossip.

Real Madrid fell again in the round of 16.

It's a very interesting thing.

Real Madrid has fallen in the round of 16 of the Champions League for several seasons in a row, and the former 'Galaxy Battleship' can be said to have sunk.

But it's not unexpected.

Real Madrid this season is the most chaotic, President Calderón stepped down because of 'manipulation of votes', a series of conflicts broke out in the dressing room, the head coach has been changed continuously, and various scandals have been broken one after another.

Juventus fell under Chelsea's butcher's knife.

It's a bit embarrassing.

It's not that Juventus is embarrassed, it's that former Chelsea boss Scolari is embarrassed, and he doesn't even dare to give interviews to the media.

Chelsea's situation is not much better than that of Real Madrid, with manager Scolari sacked just after the transfer window in January, and the Brazilian received £7.5 million in compensation, leaving behind a tactical mess of more than half a year in charge.

Chelsea are unable to find a qualified replacement for the time being, and will have to lead the team with assistant coach Ray Wilkins for the time being.

And then the embarrassment came.

Ray Wilkins, a completely unknown coach, led Chelsea to beat Juventus home and away, Chelsea's results seemed to be reversed in an instant, and the moment of successful elimination of Juventus, the Chelsea team also seemed to be unusually united, and Anelka and Drogba, who had revealed the biggest contradictions, also put their shoulders on each other's shoulders to celebrate, as if they had become best friends.

The London press couldn't help but ask, "What did Scolari do?" ”

Finally, there is Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich was eliminated as expected, the first leg of the home '2:4', so that the head coach Klinsmann stepped down, making them look hopeless, the second leg was eliminated in a reasonable way, and the focus of media reports was still on Zhen Shaolong.

Zhen Shaolong has scored too many goals!

Zhen Shaolong played two legs against Bayern Munich home and away, and 'brushed' two hat tricks, that is, he scored six goals individually, and the media couldn't report it or not, and his goal count was really shocking.

Zhen Shaolong's goal, there is also a controversy, that is, the corner kick given by Enzobia, after the first leg and Bayern Munich, the question of 'who scored the goal' has been constantly discussed, whether it is UEFA, Newcastle United club, or various media in the outside world, there is no exact statement.

In the end, the goal was 'awarded' to Zhen Shaolong.

This was mainly due to N'Zogbia's voluntary abandonment of the goal, saying publicly, "The goal belongs to Zhen, it was a cooperation between us, before the corner kick was given, he told me exactly how to play, I didn't even know what he was going to do. ”

"And then the ball went in!"

'I'm pretty sure he touched the ball and played a decisive role in scoring the goal.

In the absence of a definite result, Enzobia's statement played a key role, UEFA 'awarded' the goal to Zhen Shaolong, and Newcastle United also said on its official website that the goal belonged to Zhen Shaolong.

The significance of this goal to Zhen Shaolong is even more at the bonus level.

One hundred thousand pounds.

The accolades and so on that come with scoring goals are completely negligible, because he has scored too many goals and doesn't care about one or two goals.

Zhen Shaolong's Champions League goals have reached 19, and he has already broken the Champions League goal personal single-season record, and he is still breaking the record.

The Guardian commented, "This season, the record set by Zhen Shaolong in the Champions League may be able to last for decades, or it may be a hundred years, if anyone has a chance to break the record in the past ten years, it can only be Zhen Shaolong himself, who set the record......"

Other media outlets have made similar exclamations.

The focus of the British media is also on the entire Champions League, as long as you glance at the British media reports, you can always see the news related to the Champions League, and no other national media is as crazy as the British media.

Because the Champions League is once again 'dominant' by the Premier League.

Chelsea 'unexpectedly' eliminated Juventus to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which made the four teams in England not fall behind, Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle United all eliminated their opponents and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and England's teams accounted for half of the country.

It was a great harvest for English football in Europe.

The other teams that have advanced to the quarter-finals are Barcelona and Villarreal in La Liga, Porto in the Portuguese Super League and Roma in Serie A.

"Manchester Sport" believes that "among the four other national teams, the only one that can challenge the English team is Barcelona in La Liga!" ”

"Manchester Sport" also 'helped' in arranging the quarter-finals, "Barcelona would better meet Newcastle United, they are opponents in the group stage, Barcelona were beaten home and away by Newcastle United, while the other teams met English teams separately. ”

"This match can give England a complete 'domination' of the Final Four!"

What the Manchester Sport newspaper said is indeed hopeful, England's four teams beat their opponents and advance to the last four of the Champions League together, which means that the Champions League is completely dominated by English teams, and it will be a glorious moment for English football.

When the time comes, the British media can say aggressively, "The Premier League will become the number one league", which national media can deny it?

"The Champions League semi-finals are all English teams!"

When clubs in England get enough UEFA points, they can even get more Champions League qualifications for the Premier League.

Of course.

The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The next day was the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and the results were soon announced, with England's four teams failing to play against other national league teams as they had hoped.

Manchester United's opponents are Porto.

Newcastle United's opponent is Villarreal.

Chelsea and Arsenal are engaged in a civil war.

Barcelona met what the British media called "Italy's worst Champions League team" - Roma.

This matchup disappointed the British media.

As a result, all kinds of conspiracy theories were revealed, and if you opened some tabloids and even the analysis reports of large media outlets, you could find reports such as "Platini takes special care of Barcelona" and "the lottery hides a mystery to help Barcelona lock in the top four in advance".

In fact, it is not to blame the British media for creating all kinds of 'conspiracy theories', the main Barcelona luck is too good, and it directly staggered the four teams in the Premier League, Villarreal in their country, and Porto, which has a relatively high probability of upset, and drew the Roma that they want to meet the most.

This makes one have to be suspicious.

Newcastle United don't have to care about the overall matchup, they don't have to care about the chaotic suspicion in the media, they are also very lucky, staggering the three teams in the Premier League, the stronger Barcelona, and the slightly easier Villarreal.

Villarreal is nicknamed the "Yellow Submarine".

Before 2000, the team was almost unheard of outside of Spain, and for many years they played in the lower divisions of Spain as a regional team until the end of the last century, in 1998, when they were promoted to the first division in history.

After being promoted to the top league, Villarreal suddenly became a force to be reckoned with in Spanish football after a short period of discomfort, and also represented Spanish football in Europe continuously, writing the myth of the new European team.

In just a few years, Villarreal has purchased a number of high-quality South American players and has become a powerful team in La Liga.

From 2002 to 2004, Villarreal reached the UEFA Toto Cup final for three consecutive years, winning the title twice.

In the 2004-2005 season, Villarreal finished third in La Liga behind Barcelona and Real Madrid, qualified for the Champions League for the first time, and even beat many opponents the next season to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, and finally lost to Arsenal and was eliminated.

Last season, Villarreal finished runners-up to Barcelona and qualified for the Champions League again.

In this season's Champions League, Villarreal and Manchester United were in Group E, and in the end, Villarreal qualified as second in the group, and in the round of 16, defeated the 'dark horse' team Panathina to advance to the quarterfinals.

The history of Villarreal's rise feels a bit like a 'grassroots counterattack', from a completely unknown team in the lower leagues to becoming a powerhouse in Europe, in just ten years, no, even seven or eight years.

This rise has been too fast.

Of course.

From the perspective of Europe's top team, Villarreal can only be regarded as a 'powerhouse', there is still a huge gap from the giants, and their overall strength is also considered to be 'second-rate', ranking last in the top eight, or even chasing the bottom.

Newcastle United's quarterfinals are still quite lucky to meet the team with the bottom strength, and some Newcastle local media have begun to look forward to the team reaching the Champions League semi-finals.

————

The quarterfinals of the Champions League are indeed hot, but the quarterfinals of the Champions League are played in April, and there is still nearly a month to go.

"Champion Month!"

The headline of the British Football Newspaper shifted the perspective of fans and made more people discover the extraordinary month of March, "March will be the most important month for the championship, and every team at the top of the ranking will usher in a difficult test!" ”

The Premier League title race has been a hot topic.

Before Newcastle United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, there was not much difference in the top four points, and the title race has also entered a hot state, and after the past two rounds of the league, the competition for the top four is still very fierce.

Newcastle United are in first place with 65 points.

Liverpool drew one game and remain second in the table with 62 points.

Manchester United have been winning consistently and have reached 62 points, just one goal difference behind Liverpool.

Chelsea lost one game and dropped to fourth place in the table with 60 points.

March is critical.

Newcastle United have four league games to play in March, three of which are against Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Manchester United also face Newcastle United and Liverpool respectively.

Chelsea only have a game against Newcastle United, but given their current situation, they are the least fancied to come out on top.

Liverpool are going to play against Manchester United, they are a very favored team, because Liverpool has no Champions League pressure, the Europa League has been eliminated, they can focus on the league, the past few rounds of league performance is really solid, with the help of the British Football Newspaper, "Liverpool showed the temperament of a champion!" ”

Newcastle United's schedule is under the most pressure, facing Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal in a row, and three games will be directly linked to the title race, the atmosphere of the whole team has become dull, and the joy of reaching the Champions League quarterfinals is quickly consumed.

Zhen Shaolong feels okay.

He doesn't bother to think about pressure and everything, he just needs to be himself, his job is to score goals in the game, and the wins and losses are played by the team as a whole.

He and his teammates said, "Don't overthink it. We're just normal players, just play seriously. ”

Owen was not impressed by this statement, he said sourly, "We are ordinary players, you are not. ”

"Huh?"

"You are not an ordinary player, a special player, according to the number of goals you score, you can't be classified as a human player, maybe you can be regarded as an alien product, I watched a movie some time ago, it was a child of the earth who was caught on an alien planet, and then became a bounty hunter of the planet......"

OWEN KEPT TALKING, THE RHETORIC IN HIS WORDS BECAME MORE AND MORE EXCESSIVE, AND THE MORE HE TALKED, THE HAPPIER HE BECAME, NOT KNOWING ZHEN SHAOLONG'S DARK FACE AT ALL.

And then.

"Joey! him! ”

Zhen Shaolong shouted, went up and hugged Owen hard, Barton immediately went over to help, Smith and Enzobia next to him were stunned, and they also hurried up to help, Milner and Taylor glanced at each other, hesitated for a long time, and found that Owen had no power to fight back, so he decided to obey the command and carry out friendly activities to make Owen worse.

After all the chaos.

Owen was stripped of his pants and left only his pants.

Zhen Shaolong took several photos in a row, but just promised, "Don't worry, I'm just making a commemoration and won't let others see it." I'm not that kind of person. ”

Then Owen looked around with a sad face.

Zhen Shaolong, I can't afford to provoke him.

Patton, don't get angry with the idiot.

Smith, can't beat it.

Enzobia? Black blood bones are too hard.

Milner, Taylor......

Owen got dressed with a sad face, and rushed out of the room quickly, leaving a cruel sentence by the way, "James, Steven, you two wait for me!" ”

"I'll get revenge!" 8)
