Chapter 491 Good Sign!

On the evening of March 3th, with the end of the last UEFA Champions League quarter-final match, all 15 groups of duels will decide the outcome.

2016-17 Champions League quarter-finals:

La Liga: Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid
Bundesliga: Bayern Mourini, Borussia Dortmund

Premier League: Manchester City, Leicester City

Serie A: Juventus

Ligue [-]: Annihilated

Among these eight teams, the most surprising one is Leicester City, which is recognized by fans as a dark horse in the Champions League this season.

In the second round of the decisive battle, the Blue Fox coach Ranieri, who was rumored to be fired recently, did not live up to the expectations of the fans.

Leicester City lost 1-2 away to Sevilla in the first leg.

But back at home, Leicester City had a back-to-back fight. In the 27th minute of the first half, Mahrez made a free kick from the left, and Morgan scored in front of the goal.

In the 54th minute of the second half, it was still Mahrez. He made a cross from the right. Rami of Sevilla missed the clearance, allowing Albrighton to puff up his chest and then volleyed again, rewriting the score to 2-0. Kicked Seville off a cliff.

Two goals behind, Sevilla still had the opportunity and enough time to come back against the wind.

But it all went down in the hands of one player on their field.

That is, Nasri, who was purged by Guardiola, turned his head over Vardy in the next game, causing him to turn two yellows and one red and be sent off, making Sevilla completely lose the possibility of promotion.

This familiar scene can't help but remind people of the famous scene between midfielder Zidane and Materazzi in the summer 11 years ago.

It was also a moment of life and death, when Italy was also caught in the fierce offensive of the French team.

But because of Materazci's trash talk, Zidane completely lost his mind and turned it over.

Now Nasri has imitated his French predecessors and staged almost the same scene.

In the end, Leicester City defeated the Europa League overlord Sevilla who had won the Europa League for the past three consecutive years with a total score of 3-2.

After the game, Gerrard directly criticized Nasri in the live broadcast room for being full of fat in his head and acting amateurishly. He knew that he had a yellow card and went against Vardy. This is too stupid.

And Leicester City's success in reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League has naturally attracted the attention of many media and won praise from all media.

"The Times" claimed in the report that although Leicester City struggled in the league this year, they did not live up to their status as the Premier League champions in the Champions League. Ranieri is still continuing to write the fairy tale belonging to the Blue Fox story.

And if Leicester City's comeback makes the Premier League proud, then there are naturally aspects that make the Premier League ashamed.

Compared with Leicester City, another team that lost in the Champions League quarter-finals was labeled as a shame by the English media by the English media.

This team is the Gunners Arsenal.

Arsenal and Bayern's second leg match, Bayern's official Twitter after the first leg joke came true.

The Gunners at home were beaten 1-5 by Bayern again.

Arsenal lost 2-10 on aggregate, and even set a new record for the difference between two rounds of English teams in the history of the Champions League. The tragedy is simply appalling.

Before the game, due to the impact of the Nou Camp miracle, Gunners fans have placed their hopes on the team.

They sincerely hope that Wenger can, like Enrique, lead the Gunners to replicate the miracle of the Nou Camp.

However, the reason why a miracle is a miracle is because of its unique and irreproducible nature.

Arsenal's morale in this game was also affected by the Nou Camp miracle, which was quite high.

After the start of the game, Arsenal, who expected to create a miracle, went all out, and even once let the gun fans see the hope and saw the long-lost hot-blooded gunner.

Ancelotti on Bayern's side was out of consideration for the away game, and they adopted a counterattack strategy to deal with it.

As a result, Bayern fell into a disadvantage in the first half and was suppressed by Arsenal.

In the 20th minute of the game, Arsenal scored the first to take the lead.

But countless hopeful gun fans never imagined that not long after the second half started, Bayern had just used ten levels of skill, and the game had a dramatic reversal.

In the 55th minute of the game, Koscielny pushed Lewandowski into the penalty area and was fined a yellow card.

But after discussing with the referee and the bottom line referee, the verdict was changed, and the Frenchman was sent off with a red card.

This is also a controversial sentence whether the sentence is too heavy.

Then Lewandowski made the penalty himself.

After Koscielny was sent off, Arsenal, who still had the belief of 'stand up and die' before giving it a go, knelt down and surrendered very simply.

Arsenal star Henry, who was a guest commentator on Sky Sports, was also very angry, and criticized in front of the live broadcast camera: "They should have done better, but the setbacks on the way of hard work often hit the Gunners. They can't hold their heads up, they lack confidence and they always choose to give up in the end."

The point of Henry's criticism pointed out the fatal problem encountered by the current gunman, that is, the mental attributes are extremely bad, and he has lost his aggressiveness.

After the game, the Sun newspaper even gave such a headline: "Wenger be careful, the Arsenal players' warm-up sports meeting has begun!" "

The meaning of this is to imply that the Arsenal players want to get rid of Wenger through the defeat of the game, which is actually nonsense.

In addition, about 400 Gunners fans marched from the former site of Highbury Stadium to the Emirates Stadium after the game, shouting "Coach Wenger, please leave!" and "Coach Wenger, you are destroying Arsenal. !” slogan.

At the same time, the fans held up banners, urging Arsenal executives to give up signing Wenger this summer.

And this time, no one was on Wenger's side,
Many Arsenal-related people and even Wenger's former disciples and supporters believe that the time has come for Wenger to leave the team, and the professor can almost be said to be deserted.

……

Two days later, at 3:17 on March 19, the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, which attracted worldwide attention, was held as scheduled at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

There are no restrictions on this draw. Teams from the same national league can play against each other. There is no seeding team. The team drawn first will play at home in the first round.

For this draw, the teams have different attitudes.

Because there is no real weak team that can enter the top 8, only relatively weak.

For Barcelona, ​​it doesn't matter who they draw. They have just created a miracle at the Camp Nou. Their morale is high, and they will kill whoever they draw.

And Real Madrid has the same attitude, it doesn't matter if they draw anyone, anyway, they are strong enough.

But for the Manchester City team, Chu Zheng still hopes to draw a team that is relatively easy to play, preferably not Barcelona and Real Madrid.

It is best to be Leicester City, because it is familiar enough, or Dortmund is fine.

Atletico Madrid was the first to be drawn by this season's Champions League ambassador, Welsh legend Ian Rush, and then Leicester City.

Seeing this scene, Chu Zheng's heart turned cold for an instant. His old club was probably about to suffer a tragedy.

Atlético de Madrid, that is a group of living bandits, fighting against those living kings, even if they win, they will be half disabled.

Immediately after that was Dortmund, the Bundesliga's millennial second, and then Manchester City was caught by Rush.

Seeing that he was drawn with Dortmund, Guardiola, who watched the draw ceremony at home, was instantly relieved.

Good sign!

Sign up!
Moreover, they are still hosts first, and they have already occupied some advantages in the situation of promotion.

Don't underestimate the advantage of this kind of customer before the host, sometimes it is this weak advantage that people don't care about that plays a decisive role.

After a while, all 8 teams were drawn.

Atletico Madrid VS Leicester City
Dortmund VS Manchester City
Bayern vs Real Madrid
Juventus VS Barcelona
