If you want to talk about the best team in Europe today, I am afraid that different people will have different choices, but if you want to talk about the most watched league in the world, it must be the Premier League. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the past two seasons, with the rapid rise of the Red Rebels, as Chelsea, Manchester City and other giants squandered rubles and oil pounds, the Premier League has become more and more intense, from the earliest Manchester United and Arsenal double hegemony, evolved into the Red Rebels, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea four together, and now the top 6.

It can be said that the Premier League has become more and more intense in the past two or three seasons and has attracted more and more attention from fans.

This season, the Premier League officially announced that it will launch a series of overseas strategies, which makes the Premier League further spread its influence, especially in the United States, Asia and other regions, and is included in the key development areas of the Premier League.

With the Red Rebels winning the Champions League last season, the rise of the Premier League has become an unstoppable trend.

In the top 8 of this season's Champions League, Serie A occupies 3 of them, La Liga and the Premier League each occupy 2 seats, and Ligue 1 occupies a seat, while the Bundesliga is completely wiped out, and even the traditional Banba Bayern has failed to reach the top 8, which is regarded as a major signal of the decline of the Bundesliga, especially the Bundesliga powerhouses such as Werder Bremen have stopped in the group stage, which is a pity.

Theoretically, Serie A retains its traditional edge, which is also believed to be related to the style of the Serie A teams, who are generally more durable in the two-legged knockout rounds that focus on tactics, defence and team balance, after all, they regard defense as the first priority of the team.

Among the three teams in the Premier League that reached the round of 16, the more balanced Red Rebels and Chelsea both entered the round of 8, while Arsenal was eliminated by Barcelona.

Among the teams currently in the last eight, Juventus, who defeated Real Madrid over two legs, is undoubtedly the strongest, after all, Capello's team has just beaten Real Madrid 2-1 in the two-legged knockout round, and Luxemberg has been widely predicted by the media to leave the Bernabeu coaching post after the season.

With the elimination of Real Madrid, Fabio Capello's side immediately reversed the fans' perception of the eventual winner of the Champions League, and Juventus became the team with the biggest possible name to win the championship, and the momentum overshadowed the Red Rebels who eliminated Bruce by a large score.

To put it bluntly, the Belgian team is simply not comparable to the La Liga giants, and Juventus has a big lead in Serie A, and now Juventus has even shouted the slogan of winning the championship in advance to concentrate on the Champions Cup.

Juventus are followed by the Red Rebels, a team that has always been reassuring in European competitions, winning three European titles in three years, two League Cups and one Champions Cup, with a 100% winning rate.

Some say that this season's Red Rebels may even break the record that no team has defended since the Champions League was restructured, but everyone can see how difficult it is to break this record!

In addition, teams such as AC Milan, Chelsea, Barcelona and other teams are also very loud to win the championship, after all, these teams have also performed well in the knockout round, relatively speaking, Inter Milan, Lyon and Villarreal are underestimated, especially Villarreal, the yellow submarine can beat Manchester United to qualify first in the group, and the strength is still very strong.

Nowadays, the gambling industry is really very developed, and bookmakers bet on everything, not only betting on the top scorer, betting on the champion, and even betting on the lottery, and they have opened all kinds of lottery results to lure fans to bet.

Among them, the Red Rebels have the highest odds against Barcelona, Rijkaard once shouted the slogan of revenge after being killed by the Red Rebels in two legs in the group stage, and he also kept saying that he had found a way to deal with the Red Rebels.

The Red Rebels are second in odds against Chelsea, with the English derby undoubtedly the most attractive gimmick, especially since the two teams are battling each other in the Premier League this season, with the Red Rebels currently at the top of the league table.

The Red Rebels vs Juventus are touted as a direct rivalry for the leaders of the Premier League and Serie A, and the two teams also met in the quarter-finals last season, and now it will be up to Capello to restrain the Red Rebels.

Among the other matchups, the Milan derby is undoubtedly the most gimmicky, and everyone wants to see the wonderful collision of the two Italian giants, especially last season's Milan derby, which is very nostalgic.

In short, a series of hype before the game made the draw for the quarterfinals this time more attention.

…………

…………

"Unlike previous draws in Switzerland, this is the first time UEFA has arranged a draw at the venue of the final, so this time the draw will be held in the Paris City Hall, chaired by UEFA CEO Olsson himself, with legendary French centre-back Blanco as a guest."

With the words of the live broadcast guest, at 12 o'clock, I saw former Real Madrid star Gento and Red Rebels captain David Beckham with the trophy, which is a new trophy designed by UEFA to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Champions Cup, with the names of all 50 Champions Cup winners engraved on it.

Hento was the first Real Madrid player to win the trophy and the only player to have won six trophies, while David Beckham captained the previous champions of the trophy and together they handed the trophy to Olsson, who in turn passed it to the mayor of Paris, Delanoë.

In keeping with UEFA tradition, the trophy will be on public display until the final, at the Hôtel de Ville in Paris!

After a brief opening by Olsson, the draw ceremony officially began.

The draw for the top 8 does not have clauses such as the same group to circumvent the same country, and after completely disrupting the 8 teams, the teams are randomly selected to form a matchup, so Olsson and Blanco put 8 small soccer balls down in a glass jar, and each football has the name of a team in it.

Olsson reached into the glass jar and grabbed a random ......

The UEFA CEO glanced at the crowd in front of him and smiled, "Barcelona! ”

There was immediately a round of applause, and then a matchup immediately appeared on the big screen behind Olsson, which was divided into two halves, of which the name of Barcelona immediately appeared in the position of the first team in the upper half.

Blanco also put his hand into the glass jar, and the live camera specially gave a big close-up to show the fairness and justice of the draw, but the outside world has long been accustomed to UEFA's longitudinal draw.

"It shouldn't be our Red Rebels this time, right?" Xiao Yu watched the live broadcast in front of the TV, and he shook his head with a wry smile.

If the Red Rebels are arranged to meet Barcelona every time, it can only be said that UEFA is too uncreated, why should it save some face outside, the group stage has just met, and now it will meet again?

"Leon!" Blanco's smile could not hide a trace of sourness, as the only team in Ligue 1 to enter the top 8, against the mid-sky Barcelona, it is undoubtedly quite difficult for Lyon to qualify, although Lyon has the advantage of the schedule.

According to the rules, the first team drawn plays at home first, and the next team has a certain advantage in the schedule.

Laporta, who rushed to the scene to participate in the draw, was captured by the camera, only to see the Spaniards excitedly and constantly celebrating with the assistants beside them, for them, being able to draw Lyon can almost be said to be a draw, if you get a draw, it is best to draw Villarreal, as a rival in the same country, Barcelona is very experienced in dealing with the yellow submarine, and relatively speaking, the yellow submarine is the weakest of the eight teams.

After resting for a while, Olsson put his hand into the glass jar again, and after deliberately tinkering for a while, he took out another small football ball and took out a note from it, "AC Milan!" ”

This time the audience burst into applause again, and Galliani's expression suddenly became serious, this is related to AC Milan's income of more than 10 million, if you can draw a good sign, it is equivalent to stepping into the top 4 with half a foot.

But Blanco's hand disappointed Galliani!

"Inter!"

Seeing Galliani pat his forehead hard, he obviously felt very sad about drawing Inter Milan, although he said in an interview with reporters before that AC Milan is not afraid of encountering any team, but in fact he still has several teams that he does not want to meet, and Inter Milan is undoubtedly one of them.

Every Milan derby always brings endless news, and a whole lot of trouble!

After completing the draw in the upper half of the district, the draw ceremony was suspended for a while.

"I have a hunch that we will either touch Juventus or Chelsea, Villarreal will not have our share!" Xiao Yu smiled bitterly, maybe he was suspected of giving himself psychological hints by saying this.

Now deliberately say it badly, and wait until the draw comes out, so that you can surprise yourself.

Sometimes he really thinks that the lottery is like a gamble, and the reading of the results is like unveiling the cup, playing with a heartbeat.

Otherwise, he really didn't think there was anything good about such a lottery ceremony, the ratings were so good, and UEFA even sold a good price code to the TV station for live broadcast.

"Although I don't want to see it, I have to admit that such a possibility is very big!" Mark? David also said helplessly, after all, the Red Rebels are the defending champions.

As UEFA, there has always been a subtext, that is, to refuse the team to defend the title, because they are worried that the championship will defend the title too much, and it is easy to have a dominant scene, and once there is dominance, it will be a huge challenge to the vitality of a cup competition.

Therefore, UEFA will do everything possible to prevent Ferrari from winning the championship in the same way that F1 will prevent the previous champion from defending the title, while the Red Rebels will participate in the cup as the defending champions and reach the last 8, and the possibility of winning the championship again is very small.

Of course, when it comes to the football field, everything still depends on strength!

After a short break, the draw ceremony began again.

This time it was Chelsea who drew Olsson's name, whose name immediately appeared in the first place in the bottom half, while Blanco drew Chelsea's opponents, an opponent that all teams aspire to meet.

"Villarreal!"

As soon as he heard this name, Xiao Yu's office immediately burst into an uproar.

"This shit luck guy!" Xiao Yu scolded with a smile.

It can be said that Chelsea drew one of the weakest teams in the last eight, and many people say that if you want to limit Villarreal, you must limit Riquelme, as long as you control Riquelme, then Villarreal will not have much of a threat.

The magic of the Argentine is that he has made Villarreal almost his one-man team.

Mourinho once told Xiao Yu that when he meets Villarreal, the chance of promotion is as high as 90%, because he has a way to limit Riquelme; Against Lyon, the chance of promotion is 80%, and the last team he wants to meet is Barcelona, only 55%, and the extra 5% is because he feels that his team has an advantage in morale and mentality.

Six teams were drawn in the round of 8, and the remaining set of matchups did not need to be guessed to know that it was the Red Rebels against Juventus, and the final suspense of the draw was who played first at home and who had the advantage in the schedule.

As a result, I believe that all the Red Rebels fans are eager to chop off Olsson's hand, and he directly pulled out the Red Rebels, followed by Juventus, which means that the Red Rebels are at a disadvantage in the schedule.

Not only that, but the English football media, which were the first to disclose the results of the draw the next day, have interpreted the draw, and they all agree that the Red Rebels are hanging, and England is also hanging!

Based on the performance of the Red Rebels and Chelsea this season, if they are staggered, then these two teams are even likely to reach the final, but drawing these two English teams in the same group means that at most only one English team will reach the final, or even none, after all, Juventus is also very strong this season.

As for the Red Rebels, they are placed in the bottom half of the table with Chelsea, which means that even if the Red Rebels win against Juventus, they will have to meet Chelsea next, with the semi-finals scheduled for April 18/19 and April 25/26.

However, there is one thing that must be noted first, and that is the schedule of the Red Rebels.

Some people say that the Red Rebels have suffered a big loss in the schedule this season, first participating in the Club World Championship to survive the winter break more difficult than all opponents, and then it is a continuous multi-front battle, and finally won a League Cup, and the league also took advantage of the chaos to get out of the way, occupying the top position, and the Champions Cup also ushered in the dawn, reaching the top 8.

It should be said that it is absolutely commendable that the Red Rebels can achieve such results in such difficult circumstances, and looking at European football this season, what team can play so hard like the Red Rebels?

But what awaits the Red Rebels is an amazing devilish race!

On March 25, in the 31st round of the English Premier League, the Red Rebels welcomed Manchester United at home; On the 28th, the Red Rebels faced Juventus at home; On April 1, the Red Rebels welcomed Liverpool at home; On April 5, he played Juventus away.

For two weeks in a row, three of Europe's top teams and four jaw-dropping conversations were unbelievably arranged together, and on April 15, the Red Rebels will challenge Arsenal away.

If it weren't for the Premier League's schedule before the season, I believe everyone would suspect that this is a joint effort between the FA and UEFA to get rid of the Red Rebels.

And it is precisely because of such a difficult and frequent schedule that everyone feels that the Red Rebels are really hanging!
