"Huh? Why did you exclude Dynamo Kyiv and Kaiserslautern from Antonio? Obviously, these two teams are also outstanding in the Champions Cup group stage! Seeing Zhuang Mingge remove Dynamo Kyiv and Kaiserslautern from Fiorentina's opponent list without saying a word, Grozzi Jr. felt very puzzled, "Especially Kaiserslautern, this is a team that even a giant like Barcelona has suffered a loss!" ”

As a fantastic team that won the Bundesliga title as a promoted horse last season, Kaiserslautern has naturally attracted a lot of attention, and with Fiorentina such a living example in front of them, people are also optimistic about the future of the Bundesliga Red Devils, thinking that it is very promising to replicate the trajectory of Fiorentina's rise and become another powerhouse in Europe.

"Although Kaiserslautern also achieved the miracle of winning the championship last season, it was not the same situation as when we were Fiorentina. Zhuang Mingge patiently explained to Groz Jr., "The first point is that the core of the Kaiserslautern team is Swiss Siriako Sforza and German striker Olaf Marshall, both of whom are over 30 years old at this time, even if they can still maintain excellent competitive form, but the decline in physical fitness brought about by age makes them unable to cope with the situation of multi-front battles, as evidenced by Kaiserslautern's far inferior performance in the Bundesliga this season." ”

"Secondly, due to the relevant legal and financial constraints in Germany, Kaiserslautern cannot develop as we did in Fiorentina, because they simply do not have such abundant funds and a team manager who can find good seedlings."

"So, the main reason why Kaiserslautern performed so well last season was because the other teams in the league didn't pay enough attention to it, and the veterans led by Sforza and Marshall collectively rejuvenated their second career that season, which completed a promotion to win the championship." Speaking of this, Zhuang Mingge concluded, "The situation of Fiorentina is completely different, at that time, Effenberg and Barty were just entering the golden age of players, and people like Vieri and Da Inzaghi were only about 20 years old, so they naturally had more room for growth than the veteran Kaiserslautern." And a team like Kaiserslautern that reuses veterans will only get worse with each passing day. Therefore, it is impossible for UEFA to choose such a team that has been greatly reduced in combat power to play against Fiorentina. ”

"As for Dynamo Kyiv, although the Ukrainian team led by coach Lobanovsky showed good quality in the group stage, and there are young stars like Kaladze, Shevchenko and Rebrov, it is difficult for fans to see them as opponents of the same magnitude as Fiorentina." After talking about the reasons for eliminating Kaiserslautern, Zhuang Mingge, who was very happy, began to explain to Groz Jr. the reason why he was not optimistic about Dynamo Kiev, "Therefore, if you want to choose a decent opponent for Fiorentina, then Arsenal and Liverpool, who are in the same G14 league as us and have excellent records, are the best choices for UEFA." ”

At this time, Di Stefano, who attended the ceremony as a special guest, began to draw lots on the stage, and the host pasted the slips of paper with the names of the teams on the small blackboard behind him in turn according to the order of drawing.

The first to draw are the eight group runners-up, and according to the rules, these teams have a relatively unfavorable schedule in the quarter-finals, with a home-and-away rhythm. Because in the eyes of the vast majority of people, the two-legged knockout round of home and away is generally more advantageous to come away first and then home.

As Fiorentina's two most likely opponents in the round of 16, Liverpool are placed first in the top half, while Arsenal are drawn to fourth place in the bottom half, exactly at the top and bottom of the tree.

Once Di Stefano has drawn the eight teams that finished second in the group in turn and the moderator has assigned their places, it will be the turn of the eight teams that will win the first place in the group.

The first team to be drawn is Monaco, which means that Liverpool's opponent in the quarter-finals will be the Ligue 1 giants who have been propped up by Zhuang Mingge.

"Ah, Liverpool's opponent is Monaco...... It seems that our opponent should be Arsenal led by Arsene Wenger. Seeing Monaco being drawn to play against Liverpool, Zhuang Mingge shrugged his shoulders at Karin and Rebecca, and said with a relaxed face, "It seems that Fiorentina should not have much problem advancing to the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup." ”

"Hey, Antonio, are you sleeping? What nonsense are you talking about? Hearing Zhuang Mingge's remarks, Rebecca said in disbelief, "Although I don't know football as well as you, I also know that Arsenal won the Premier League and FA Cup last season!" Why is it said by Antonio, it sounds like Arsenal is like a dish in front of Fiorentina, you can eat it however you want? ”

"Well, Rebecca, you're not right at all." Zhuang Mingge nodded and said in an affirmative tone, "In my eyes, Arsenal is really not the most difficult team to deal with. Although Arsene Wenger does have a lot of stars under him, there are first-class stars on all three lines, and after he became the owner, Arsenal has become more technical and ground coordination, and the results have also improved greatly, but in fact, this Arsenal still has a lot of weaknesses, especially the lack of attacking ability.

"Huh? So, in your opinion, which of these eight teams is the most difficult for you to deal with? Karin was intrigued by Zhuang Mingge's words and asked curiously, "However, if you sue me for Inter Milan, it won't be interesting, anyone can guess this." ”

"Haha, how is this possible." Zhuang Mingge, who really planned to cite Inter Milan to tease the two girls, hurriedly snorted, jumped directly over the previous paragraph, and said, "Of course, it's the Kyiv Dynamo that I excluded before!" In my opinion, this Ukrainian team has a lot of hope to be a dark horse in this season's Champions Cup! ”

Although they had been mentally prepared for a long time, when they heard Zhuang Mingge say the name of Kyiv Dynamo, Karin and Little Groz were still stunned, and the two of them repeated stupidly: "Kyiv Dynamo?!" ”
