"It's a bit of a pit!"

"In this year's Champions League knockout round, there are so many strong teams in the second group ......"

As soon as the group stage of the Champions League ended, many fans realized that the first place in the group this year was not very strong, but the second place in the group was very strong......

After the group stage, the eight teams that won the first place were Roma, Panathinaikos, Barcelona, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Bayern, Porto and Juventus. They will face eight teams that finished second in the group: Chelsea, Manchester United, Sporting Lisbon, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, Lyon, Arsenal and Real Madrid. The principle of the draw is: the first team in the group is the second in the group, and the teams in the same group and the same football association are avoided. In addition, the team that finishes the group will play home first.

In fact, there are not many strong teams, that is, Chelsea and Real Madrid have run to second place...... Chelsea have been strong and Real Madrid are the defending champions......

"According to the principle of avoiding opponents in the group stage, Inter Milan's opponents have a lot to choose from, as long as they don't touch Chelsea or Real Madrid, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

"Inter Milan has a very high probability of drawing a good sign."

Fans are talking about Inter Milan's signing.

However, Mourinho, who appeared at the draw site, did not think so, anyway, Inter Milan's goal is the championship, who is not to fight?

"At this stage of the Champions Cup, no team is a weak team, if you want to get a good result, everyone is the same in the draw, and even the more difficult teams the better, Inter Milan have the strength and confidence to knock out the opponent."

Ahead of the draw, Mourinho was optimistic about the prospects of qualifying.

"I don't have any particular team I want to meet, I always meet old acquaintances every year, I don't know which one I will meet this year?"

Mourinho subconsciously swept the scene in the hall and really saw a lot of old acquaintances......

When he saw Wenger, Wenger deliberately turned his head, this guy seems to have a deep grudge against Mourinho.

Alas, the lords are all gone, and Mourinho is a little too lazy to bother with Wenger......

'But I would like to meet Arsenal or Liverpool because I miss the Emirates Stadium and Anfield Stadium ......'

Wenger, who was not far away, suddenly trembled, and his right eyelid throbbed violently.

The devil wants to meet you!

※※※※

Soon, the draw ceremony officially began.

Barcelona drew a good draw, Ligue 1 champion Lyon, Lyon is very strong, but in the face of Barcelona, it seems that there is no future......

Then Real Madrid drew the king of the cup Liverpool, obviously, Real Madrid's signing has some headaches, Real Madrid is most afraid of encountering a team of Liverpool's style, but the defending champions have Ronaldo and Kaka, which is enough.

Next, Mourinho's old club drew Juventus.

Villarreal drew Panathinaikos.

Sporting Lisbon drew Bayern Munich.

Atletico Madrid drew Porto.

Manchester United drew the old rivals Roma the year before.

Finally, Mourinho caught another glimpse of Arsene Wenger's gaze.

"Ha, it's really fate." Mourinho was happy, I didn't expect to really meet Wenger, things in this world are so coincidental, you don't want to, but let you get your wish......

Arsene Wenger's eyes had to return to Jose Mourinho.

"Well, I'm going back to England and the Emirates Stadium is going to have a packed and exciting night anyway. I want to lead the team back there. ”

'It was very interesting to meet Arsene Wenger again.

Wenger......

Even if Wenger wanted to shut up and not talk about Mourinho, the media would not let him go, so Wenger still said coldly: "Mourinho? He's a good manager of quality, but it's no surprise that Chelsea have chosen Scolari. ”

Answering the question, his resentment against Mourinho is not ordinarily deep......

As soon as the Champions League round of 16 was revealed, the English media immediately made a big report on it. Most of the media used Arsene Wenger's sideline "reunion" with Jose Mourinho as a gimmick.

The Times reported on the draw under the headline "Four Giants, Four Battles". 'Inter Milan will face Arsenal and we will see Jose Mourinho return to the Emirates Stadium for the first time since leaving Chelsea. Jose Mourinho's former club will face Juventus, who are now chasing Inter Milan in second place in Serie A, while 'Old Lady' coach Claudio Ranieri is another former Chelsea manager. Manchester United's clash with Roma will see a third Anglo-Italian matchup, with the Stadio Olimpico also hosting the final in May. Liverpool, meanwhile, will face Real Madrid.

The BBC noted: "Former Chelsea coach Claudio Ranieri will lead Juventus back to Stamford Bridge in what is now a clash between the second-placed teams in the Italian-English league." After Arsenal met Inter Milan, the sideline conversation between Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger was reminiscent of a lot of the Premier League's past.

The Daily Mail made a one-game commentary: Chelsea vs Juventus: This is the first game to be drawn, former Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri will face the division of Scolari, Chelsea avoided Mourinho this round but had a date with the tinkerer. Inter Milan vs Arsenal: Arsene Wenger vs Jose Mourinho, an interesting matchup. It's Manchester United VS Roma, I wonder if Manchester United will die directly?

Compared with the grinding and chirping of the English media, the Italian media is very high-profile.

"Milan Sports Daily" directly said that Mourinho vs Wenger, Inter Milan vs Arsenal, do you still need to guess such a result? It must have been Mourinho and Inter Milan who reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which is not something to think about at all. Arsene Wenger has never been an English Jose Mourinho, and Chinese Dong has never disappointed in the duel with Arsenal, needless to say, Arsenal will continue to maintain their Champions League last-16 title!

Torino Sport believes that Inter Milan and Roma have both drawn a good signing, while Juventus have drawn a signing, because Manchester United is not what it used to be, Arsenal is not an opponent of Inter Milan, and Chelsea is still in the sky.

"Roma Sport" elaborated on this year's Champions League showdown from another angle, "Italy vs. England, three teams from each of the two countries face each other, I don't know why, every year's matchup is basically like this, is it only Spain's team can draw an easy opponent?" ”

Roma Sport sent conspiracy theories to UEFA and Spain, and it's no wonder they think so, because every year Italian teams meet the best teams, while Spanish teams always draw some cats and dogs......

At the same time, after the draw, Spinach also updated the odds to win the championship, and the defending champion ranked first:

1 Real Madrid 10 to 3

2 Barcelona 11 to 2

3 Inter Milan 6 to 1

4 Juventus 17 to 2

5 Liverpool 11 to 1

6 Arsenal 12 to 1

7 Real Madrid 14 to 1

8 Bayern 16 to 1

9 Manchester United 20 to 1

10 riaris 20 to 1

"Sure enough, Real Madrid is ranked first, after all, with Ronaldo and Kaka, the top two of this year's Ballon d'Or are enough to ensure that they have enough strength to go to the end, and the second-place Barcelona is mainly because the team is too strong, the league has not lost so far, and Messi is also breaking out frequently."

"Inter Milan is ranked third, mainly because the power of Chinese Dong is too strong, and how far he can go with his own system with Inter Milan depends on his personal performance...... And, of course, Mourinho's on-the-spot command. ”

In terms of the odds of the top scorer, Dong Fangzhuo is still at the top of the list with 1 to 3.00, Ronaldo is second with 1 to 4.70, and Messi is third with 1 to 6.23. The three most goalscoring guys in the world occupy the top three positions, and the odds of Kaka, Torres, Villa, etc., are much worse than them.

Italy's "Slow Motion" said, "Dong only played three games in the group stage, scored seven goals, played in both the away game against Rangers and the home and away games against Denmark's Aalborg, and if he played in all three games, his Champions League goal tally would probably exceed 10 goals, and it seems that Mourinho does not want him to break the previous year's record of 19 Champions League goals." China Dong himself also said that he does not mind his individual goal tally, he only cares about the European championship. What Inter Milan want most now is a European title. ”

How long has it been since Inter Milan won the European title?

Perhaps, Inter Milan is the most miserable European giants in Europe......

44 years of waiting.

Known as the "Grand International" in the 60s of the 20th century, Inter Milan won the UEFA Club Champions Cup for the first time in 1964 when they defeated Real Madrid 3-1 in Vienna, Austria, and successfully defended the title the following year.

After that, the Champions Cup was insulated with Inter Milan...... It's much worse than Juventus, another giant in Serie A, Juventus has reached the N finals and has never won the championship, and Inter Milan can't even enter the finals.

Of course, if you compare it to AC Milan next door, Milan is six Champions League winners......

Every Inter Milan fan is looking forward to what the team can do in the Champions League this year, and Mancini has disappointed them in the past few years at Inter Milan, and they hope that the arrival of Mourinho and Dong Fangzhuo will take them to achieve their Champions League dreams.

In the days that followed, Inter Milan continued to make steady progress in the league track.

Inter Milan 4:2 Chievo

Siena 1:2 Inter

Inter Milan 1:0 Cagliari

With the addition of Lazio, Inter Milan went on a four-game winning streak to end in 2008 with a four-game winning streak, and Serie A entered a winter break......

"The league has scored 21 goals, Brother Dong, you are ready to break the record again!"

At this time, Dong Fangzhuo had already returned to China, sitting on the sofa at home and bragging with Zhu Ting......
