Football King Bale

Chapter 238: Top 8 Battle

This season's Champions League quarter-finals list, the Premier League is still strong, except for the Gunners who had bad luck and lost at the feet of the Cosmos team Barcelona, ​​the other three teams participating in the Champions League, Manchester United, Barcelona and Tottenham, all advanced to the quarter-finals. The performance of La Liga can be considered within the normal range. Barcelona and Real Madrid, the two poles of the Western Premier League, entered the quarterfinals again after seven years; as for the remaining three teams, Serie A and Bundesliga each occupy a place, and the last one The promoted team is Shakhtar Donetsk, which belongs to the Ukrainian Super League.

When the Champions League knockout rounds reached the quarterfinals, people discovered that it had once again become a game for the four major leagues, or a game for wealthy teams.

Even the only "upset" double defeat of Roma, the Shakhtar, who was lucky enough to advance to the quarterfinals with a score of 6:2, has now become a big gift package in the eyes of the other seven teams.

Even Tottenham and Schalke 04, two quasi-rich teams from the four major leagues, are also soft peaches in the eyes of other wealthy teams.

That is to say, Chelsea, due to its rise in recent seasons, is no less powerful than the traditional giant teams. It is a tough nut that none of the four giant teams want to encounter.

Now, people are paying attention to who will be hit by the big gift bag, who will lose the soft peach, and who will become the unlucky one who gnaws on the hard bones.

Under such circumstances, people have focused their attention on the Champions League quarter-final draw at 12 noon Central European Time on March 17 at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

………………

Then, the result was quickly revealed. Barcelona, ​​the dual son of UEFA and FIFA, became the lucky one and won the big gift package of Shakhtar Donetsk; Real Madrid and Inter Milan also had very good luck. They picked up two soft peaches, Tottenham and Schalke 04 respectively; only the Red Devils Manchester United, which has always been disliked by UEFA and FIFA, went to fight against the hard nut of Chelsea.

Seeing this draw, it is easy to understand why Manchester United is not valued by major gambling companies.

After the Champions League quarter-finals came out and before the quarter-finals were drawn, among the winning odds given by the well-known gambling company bwin, the only team that had achieved a complete victory in the first eight games, it could even be said to be a complete victory. The team is only ranked fourth. The odds of winning the championship are 9 to 1, which is not even as good as Chelsea. The Blues’ odds of winning are 7.5 to 1. As for the top two teams with the highest probability of winning, the Darlings of the Universe ranked No. 1. First, the odds of winning the championship are 2.2 to 1; the Champions League Genetics team is close behind, and the odds of winning the championship are 4.5 to 1.

And when the match came out, many people suddenly realized that the spinach company really had a sharp eye and could see everything.

However, the only thing that the betting company missed was the next semi-final matchup. This year's Champions League semi-finals did not arrange a special draw, but were divided into the upper and lower half during the quarter-final draw. As a result, the Darlings of the Universe and the Champions League Genetics team entered the same half zone. In other words, if they each eliminate their opponents and advance to the semi-finals, they will have to fight for two rounds first.

However, the betting company’s odds can also be understood to mean that whether the Darlings of the Universe or the Champions League Genetics advance to the finals, the Champions League trophy will belong to the winner among them.

The odds are even lower for Darlings of the Universe simply because UEFA prefers younger sons, but that doesn't mean they don't like eldest sons any more.

As for the four teams that entered the other half, they were already destined to run with them, but two teams were lucky.

They will only accompany them to the semi-finals; the remaining team will be more miserable. They will accompany them to the finish line and become sacrifices and stepping stones for the two sons of UEFA to ascend to the top of Europe.

As a time traveler, Bell knows very well that Manchester United eventually became the unlucky guy, becoming the sacrifice and stepping stone for the Cosmos team to finally ascend to the throne.

The desperate and trembling hands of the elderly Sir Alex are telling the ultimate sorrow.

………………

No discerning person will ever believe that the Premier League, which has been severely suppressed by UEFA, can win the Champions League. However, as the British media, they have to continue to immerse themselves in fantasy, because if they don't do this, they will have nothing to write about.

Sky Sports made the headline that Manchester United will face Chelsea, saying that Manchester United and Chelsea will meet again in the Champions League after the 2008 Champions League final. It said that if Ancelotti wants to win the first Champions League title for Chelsea, he must first defeat his country's rival. This level, and in last month's league clash, Chelsea played a soul-stirring game against Manchester United at home. The final score was 3:3. Although the Red Devils tenaciously brought back 1 point from Stamford Bridge, they have won consecutive games. The record was also ended.

Sky Sports also lamented that after Tottenham eliminated Milan, which has won the second most Champions Leagues, they met Real Madrid, which won the most Champions Leagues. Moreover, if they advance, they will also encounter the top favorite Barcelona, ​​which is full of difficulties. .

The Guardian also considers Manchester United's encounter with Chelsea again as the top priority of this Champions League draw. Manchester United won the 2008 Champions League final with a penalty kick. Now Chelsea will usher in a two-legged match, first home and then away. The outcome is unpredictable. .

"The Independent" pointed out that Manchester United has the advantage of playing at home this time. The two teams will continue to fight in Europe outside the league competition. Although Tottenham met Mourinho's Real Madrid, they also have the advantage of playing at home. advantage, the newspaper does not think Real Madrid is invincible, because it used "theoretically powerful" to describe the Galacticos.

The "Independent" also made it clear that after eliminating Arsenal, the favorite Barcelona drew one of the two weakest opponents in theory, Shakhtar. There is almost no suspense in advancing. This also means that once Tottenham is upset, they will encounter It will also be a La Liga giant. The newspaper is also very interested to see if Inter Milan, without Mourinho, can get past Manchester United or Chelsea once they eliminate Schalke 04 and advance to the semi-finals.

The always sensational "The Sun" pointed out that the Chelsea people who broke their hearts in Moscow in 2008 will take revenge on Manchester United no matter what this time. Although the Blues have often defeated Ferguson's team in the Premier League schedule recently, this is the league after all. Abramovich, who is extremely eager to win the Champions League, will definitely order his team to use all their strength to kill their opponents, and the newspaper also encourages Tottenham to be equally confident in eliminating Real Madrid after defeating AC Milan.

The Mail and the Telegraph also believe that Manchester United and Tottenham's advantage of playing late at home will help them eliminate Chelsea and Real Madrid. These two newspapers also believe that Barcelona is very lucky to have drawn one of the two weakest teams. .

………………

Manchester United VS Chelsea!

Premier League civil war!

In the Champions League quarter-finals in the past four seasons, this is the third time that a Premier League civil war has occurred!

Optimistic Premier League fans will say: Yes, one team advanced to the semi-finals; pessimistic Premier League fans will say: The Premier League has been cheated by UEFA again!

No matter what, the benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom. At the very least, this should be an exciting showdown.

Since they are in a league in the same country, the two sides can be said to have lowered their heads but never looked up. A total of 158 games have been played so far, and Manchester United has a lot of advantages with 67 wins, 48 ​​draws and 43 losses. However, during the Mourinho and Ancelotti periods, Chelsea did not fall behind. Ancelotti led Chelsea against Manchester United 5 times and achieved 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the most recent confrontation, the Blues played at home Tied with the Red Devils 3:3. Last season, Chelsea defeated Manchester United three times in the league and Community Shield.

In the Champions League, the confrontation between the two sides is still fresh in my memory. In the 2007-2008 Champions League final, Grant's Chelsea lost to Manchester United in a penalty shootout and gave up the Big Ears Cup.

Terry and Anelka missed key penalties in that game, which put them under tremendous pressure. This game is also the best time for Chelsea to take revenge.

On the other hand, the referee aroused Ferguson's anger in the last two confrontations between the two sides at Stamford Bridge. I wonder if this game will cause more trouble.

In the league, Chelsea only conceded 27 goals in 29 rounds and was the best defensive team; Manchester United scored 96 goals in 29 rounds and was the best offensive team in the Premier League and even in Europe.

As far as this season is concerned, Rooney and Berba are not in stable form, but Bale is in good form and the barrel is hot; in addition, Nani and Hernandez are also in very good form. Especially the timely return of Nani and Valencia, this is good news for Ferguson. On Chelsea's side, Alex also returned from injury in time, adding another layer of insurance to the already stable Blues defense.

But if Chelsea's spear is used to attack Manchester United's shield, it will appear to be greatly reduced. Ferdinand's return has been postponed indefinitely, and there are still doubts whether Vidic and Rafael can recover from injuries in time to participate in the red-blue showdown. The Red Devils only conceded 2 goals in the Champions League, but this does not mean that they have no worries about their defense. . Chelsea's forward line also has big problems. Torres and Drogba have yet to break through, and the two sides have barely produced any chemical reaction so far. The offensive problem is what Ancelotti needs to solve in the next half month.

The midfield will be the key factor in the decisive victory between the two sides. From the perspective of star configuration, Chelsea, which is full of strength, has a certain advantage, but Ferguson's super tactical deployment should not be underestimated. In the FA Cup, he sent a 7-back formation He asked Wenger to surrender. I wonder what kind of changes Sir Alex Ferguson will make this time.

In terms of schedule, Chelsea, who are focused on nothing else, undoubtedly have a great advantage. Manchester United currently competes on three fronts in the Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup, and there are strong opponents on all three fronts. They have established a very large advantage in the league, and Arsenal's hope of comeback is slim; but in the FA Cup, Manchester United's situation is not so good. They need to face their local rival Manchester City; in the Champions League, again Need to accept Chelsea's challenge. The three opponents are all focused on pursuing a championship, but Manchester United needs to fight one against three.

April this year is another devilish schedule for Manchester United. They will first go to London to challenge West Ham United on April 2. The Hammers, who are eager to avoid relegation, will definitely fight them to the death; on April 6, they will go to London again. Challenging Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, this is the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals; on April 9, the Red Devils, who return to Old Trafford, will face the challenge of Fulham. The Cottagers are also a relegation team. Fighting against Manchester United is certain; on April 12th, the Blues will visit Old Trafford again to compete with the Red Devils in order to advance to the next round of the Champions League; on April 16th, the Red Devils and their city rivals Manchester City will go to New Vancouver Bully Stadium fought for a ticket to advance to the FA Cup final; on April 19, they had to rush to Newcastle non-stop to play the 33rd round of the Premier League against the Magpies; in late April, The Red Devils' schedule will be slightly easier, with only the 34th round of the Premier League and the Toffees Everton at Old Trafford, and a Champions League semi-final game. Of course, this is if they can eliminate Chelsea and win. In case of promotion.

Eight fierce battles in one month, with no easy opponent to deal with. For the Red Devils, this is a truly devilish schedule, even a death schedule.
