In the league against Bari at the weekend, Mazzari once again made a big rotation, Chen Yingying, Arshavin, Cassano and others did not appear in the starting lineup, and some people did not even follow the team to the away team ().

However, Napoli continued to be tenacious as a substitute, with the substitutes in high spirits, scoring three goals on the road, and Bari, who had home advantage, also scored three. So in the end, the two sides ended up in a 3:3 draw.

Chen Yingying only got a chance to play in the last ten minutes, leaving him with too little time to score.

For the team to suffer another win, the Napoli media and fans did not take it seriously. Now they are most concerned about what Napoli will be able to draw at the draw for the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

After a successful group stage, Napoli fans have high hopes for the team's performance in the Champions League.

I finally won the group, how can I draw a good sign, and then go further in the Champions League knockout round, right?

With a draw, Napoli returned to their own turf and they could not afford to regret the draw, as the draw for the Champions League had arrived.

Mazzarri didn't even go back to Naples with the team, but traveled directly from Bari to Nyon, Switzerland, where UEFA is headquartered.

He was accompanied by the general manager of the Naples Club Club (Bigan).

Others who didn't go there could follow the draw via televised.

※※※

Chen Yingying also sat in front of the TV, but not in front of the TV in his own home, but was invited by Naples Provincial TV to watch the draw ceremony in the studio. This is a special program run by Naples Provincial Television, and you can watch it live while chatting with the Napoli players.

And the person who hosted this special program is no longer the original host Antonella. Canali has quit her job and moved to Milan's TV 4, which is much more promising than Napoli TV.

Now the beauty who is partnered with the original male host has been replaced by a young and beautiful woman, and I believe that it will not be long before the locals in Naples will call this newcomer "Neapolitan Sex Goddess". The title is always the same one, but people can change it at will. Men are forgetful creatures, especially after having a new love.

The young newcomer saw Chen Yingying and his teammates Cassano, Hamsik, and captain Paul Young. Cannavaro's eyes lit up visibly as they walked into the studio together. Chen Yingying could even see her winking at herself.

Cassano touched Chen Yingying's arm: "Hero, hehe." ”

Apparently he saw it too.

Chen Yingying glanced at him: "If you are interested, I can help you get in touch, Antonio." ”

Cassano hurriedly shook his head, looking like a decent gentleman, and said in a low voice: "I have Carolina!" ”

Chen Yingying rolled his eyes. Don't care about this unsound friend.

He smiled slightly at the newcomer who winked at him, this was just out of politeness, but he didn't expect the other party to think that Chen Yingying was also interesting to him, and as a result, he kept throwing winks at Chen Yingying in the subsequent live broadcast of the show ().

It's a pity that Chen Yingying didn't pay attention to her eyebrows after that......

Before the draw officially began, the male hosts interviewed several Napoli players who participated in the show one by one, just like a normal talk show.

Of course, the topic is still time-sensitive, revolving around recent events. For example, Chen Yingying won the European Golden Boy Award, and the results of the draw.

The moderator also did a small interaction, which was to ask the four players to write about the opponents they most hoped to meet in the quarterfinals and the opponents they least wanted to meet.

Everyone's answer is different, but in a nutshell, the weaker the opponent you want to meet, the weaker the better, and the least likely opponent is the strong team. It's understandable that only against underdogs will they have more chances to go far in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

An exception is Chen Yingying, who writes "whatever".

"Is there a 'whatever' team?" The rookie beauty host thought she was laughing charmingly and interjected, saying that there was actually no laugh and that she was deliberately pretending to be stupid and cute. But the male audience in front of the TV still eats this set......

The male host also had to laugh a few times to show that this sentence was really funny.

Chen Yingying didn't smile, but replied, "Of course not." I think it's the same with everyone, we have to win against Olympiacos, we have to win against Real Madrid......"

Cassano waved his hand next to him and interjected: "I don't want to run into Real Madrid......"

Real Madrid were the team with the best finish in the group. They were beaten home and away by AC Milan, so they ended up in a lower group ranking than AC Milan and became second in the group.

The eight teams currently second in the group are Bordeaux, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Porto, Lyon, Inter Milan, Stuttgart and Olympiacos (). The strongest group runners-up are probably Manchester United, Real Madrid and Inter Milan.

Based on the principle that teams from the same league do not meet in the quarter-finals, Napoli will certainly not be drawn with Inter Milan, so only Manchester United and Real Madrid are likely to be drawn.

Manchester United lost Cristiano. Ronaldo seemed to be looking for a feeling afterwards, and his form was up and down, which was the main reason why they ended up finishing second in the group. CSKA Moscow instead took first place in that group, much to the surprise of many experts.

This season Real Madrid has Cristiano. Ronaldo and Kaka, two superstars, as well as powerful players like Benzema, have very strong attacking firepower in the frontcourt, which makes many people daunting.

Meeting Real Madrid in the quarter-finals is definitely the last thing that any group winners want to happen.

The male host also smiled and said: "The probability of meeting Real Madrid is too low, and I don't think it's likely." ”

Mazzarri sat at the draw next to the managers and coaches of the teams that had reached the knockout stages of the Champions League and Europa League (formerly the UEFA Cup).

He was a little nervous.

According to the lottery procedure, the eight blue balls represent the eight group runners-up and are placed in the draw pool. The first team to be drawn is the home team in the first knockout match, which means that the home team plays first. The computer program will list all the group winners who can play against that team according to the draw rules, represented by small white balls, and put them into another draw pool. According to the draw rules, teams belonging to the same national football association will not be drawn together, teams in the same group in the group stage will not be drawn together, the first place in the group will not be drawn together, and the second place in the group will not be drawn together, so in fact, the teams that can be selected are very limited.

The guest draws one team as the away team for the first game and plays against the second team in the first draw ().

Then repeat the above process to draw out the remaining six pairs of matchups, until there is only one group winner left, then there is no need to draw, and it will be directly assigned to the last vacant group second.

Napoli, for example, are likely to face only Bayern Munich, CSKA Moscow, Real Madrid, Porto, Stuttgart and Olympiacos after being eliminated under the Champions League draw.

It seems to be all computer programmed, and the guests randomly draw a small ball in the draw pool and open it to see which team it is, so there is no possibility of cheating.

But for the rule-makers and the organisers, UEFA, it was too simple to think that some matches could be arranged. This has also been confirmed many times in previous Champions League draws. For the sake of commercial interests and TV broadcast gimmicks, UEFA can operate in the dark and arrange a lot of strong conversations in the first round, which can hype up the attention of the Champions League and also allow those commercial sponsors to get more advertising benefits. It's a no-brainer.

Before the draw ceremony, some media outlets had already revealed some information about the matchups, such as Manchester United will meet AC Milan and Chelsea are likely to play Inter Milan. Because these two games are too gimmicky, AC Milan's David Beckham is from Manchester United and has a deep affection for Manchester United, and he returned to Old Trafford on behalf of AC Milan this time, what a memorable game.

On the other hand, Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho will also return to Stamford Bridge, where he is still in love. It's also worth hype, and it's quite interesting.

And "Premier League vs Serie A" is also the Champions League show that Platini has been pushing since he came to power. Since he defeated Johansson in 2007 to become the new UEFA president, Premier League and Serie A teams have collided more and more frequently in the knockout stages of the Champions League, even to the point of "aesthetic fatigue".

Mazzari feels that Napoli is not a strong team, and if they play against other strong teams, there is no hype value and gimmick, so it is unlikely that they will meet a strong team in the first round, maybe a mid-level or even a low-end team, so that Napoli can go further, play better and reach the quarterfinals...... That's an overachievement. If you're lucky, you'll be able to make it to the quarterfinals if you don't have a strong opponent in the quarterfinals.

After entering the semi-finals, Mazari does not expect to meet any weak teams, and there are no weak teams that can reach the final four. But being able to reach the semi-finals is already a miracle, and he won't think about it more.

The first group runner-up was Stuttgart, who played the first quarter-final against ......

"Barcelona." The winner of the lottery won the prize with a note in his hand and pronounced the name with a blank face.

The camera quickly gave close-ups of the representatives of both teams.

Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has a smile on his face and is very satisfied with this signing, Stuttgart is definitely not a strong team, and Barcelona has no problem playing them. Barcelona's sporting director, Begiristan, seemed relaxed as if nothing had happened.

The representative of the club club in Stuttgart smiled wryly and kept shaking his head, feeling helpless about the draw to Barcelona in the first round. Stuttgart only got the right to qualify in the last round of the group stage, and the strength is not strong.

The other second-placed teams in the group were clearly relieved – what does it mean that Barcelona were pulled out at the start? It shows that they don't have to worry about meeting Barcelona in the future.

The biggest ray was stepped on by Stuttgart.

The TV broadcast was also very clear about the thoughts of the representatives of the club, so they gave close-ups one by one and told the world about their relaxed expressions.

This shows Barcelona's status in Europe today – where no one wants to come face to face.

"Stuttgart is really unlucky, ha!" Cassano couldn't help but laugh when he saw the wry smile of the Stuttgart representative, a little schadenfreude.

Just as gloating as he is there are quite a few Napoli fans (). Now they feel more and more that they were right to try to win the first place in the next group, otherwise maybe it would be time for others to see their jokes.

※※※

One team after another was drawn, and Chen Yingying and they also casually posted some views on the teams that were drawn, such as "Bayern Munich is so lucky, it actually drew Olympiacos!" "Sure enough, it's AC Milan and Manchester United......

When Leon was drawn with CSKA Moscow, the four of them were stunned.

Among the eight teams that won the group, CSKA Moscow was recognized as the weakest, and they also relied on their home advantage, only one point more than Manchester United to win the group, and it can be said that the luck component of this group leader is very large.

Lyon and CSKA Moscow drew together, and it must be said that Lyon drew a good lot.

Sure enough, Lyon's head coach Puel had a happy look on his face. He had been worried before, for fear of drawing strong teams such as Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Arsenal, but he didn't expect that it would be CSKA Moscow in the end, which was really unexpected!

Mazzar was also stunned when he saw this result.

He didn't expect Leon to be drawn to the top of the weakest group...... He frowned and cast a glance at the main podium, and Platini looked expressionless and serious.

For some reason, Mazari's heart suddenly began to beat wildly......

He had a bad premonition.

※※※

Cassano whistled, "The result of this draw is ......" he shrugged, and everyone understood what it meant. The results of this draw are truly intriguing.

But they don't have much time to discuss the results of this draw because the draw for the next match has already started ().

Group 2 Real Madrid were drawn before in the fifth game, just drawn out of the fourth game, Lyon and CSKA Moscow.

Who will Real Madrid's opponents be?

According to the rules, there are only three teams left to meet Real Madrid – Chelsea, Napoli and Arsenal – with a chance of one of the three......

Mazari watched as the draw guests reached into the draw pool, and he couldn't help but clench his hands, as if he had drawn the ball of fate.

The lottery guests fumbled in the lottery pool for a while, and finally grabbed one of the small white balls and took them out.

Who will be and own Cristiano. What about Ronaldo, Kaka, Raul, Casillas, Benzema's Real Madrid as opponents?

The guest unscrewed the ball, pulled out the note, and unfolded it to show it to the camera lens, reading out the name on it.

"Naples."
