"That's right, it's Dynamo Kiev." Seeing Karin and Groz Jr.'s surprised expressions, Zhuang Mingge said triumphantly.

"Antonio, why are you optimistic about Dynamo Kiev?" Groz Jr. was still the first to jump out, expressing doubts about Zhuang Mingge's views, "Which of the three teams, Arsenal, Inter Milan and Liverpool, is better than it?" Famous, in terms of the number and quality of stars, this Ukrainian team does not have an advantage... What is it that deserves your special attention?"

"Although Dynamo Kiev, compared with the other seven teams, its biggest advantage is that it has a world-class head coach." Zhuang Mingge quickly answered the questions raised by Groz Jr. , said.

"Tony, are you talking about coach Valery Lobanovsky?"

"Exactly. You must not underestimate the role of an excellent coach." Zhuang Mingge said seriously, "As the saying goes, a raging army will raging in a nest. If there is no excellent coach to lead the team , then it doesn’t matter how many good players there are.”

"However, Arsene Wenger, Robson, and Houllier are all excellent coaches." Groz Jr. didn't seem to want to admit defeat so easily, and still tried hard to refute.

However, Groz Jr. obviously didn't notice that she inadvertently excluded Inter Milan's coach Simeone from the category of "excellent coach".

"Yes, they are indeed very good coaches, but compared to Lobanovsky, Wenger and Houllier's psychological endurance is much worse, and often when it is their turn to boost morale, they themselves Let’s just fade away; the old Robson is not weaker than Lobanovsky in terms of ability, but unfortunately, the overall strength of Eindhoven, which has suffered a lot of blood loss, is simply not as good as Kiev, which Lobanovsky has painstakingly built for many years Dynamo."

While Zhuang Mingge was explaining to Karin and Groz Jr. why he was optimistic about Dynamo Kiev, the draw ceremony was also proceeding in an orderly manner.

In the first half, apart from the previously mentioned Liverpool and Monaco, the remaining three pairings have also been hotly released: Ajax’s opponent is the Bianconeri Juventus, Inter Milan and Kaiser who owns the former Inter Milan player Sforza Slautern was drawn together, and Manchester United and Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven met in the quarter-finals.

Compared with the upper half, the grouping of the lower half is obviously more gimmick.Real Madrid meet Dynamo Kyiv, the dark polo team predicted by Zhuang Minge. Whether the La Liga giants can overcome the freezing weather in Ukraine in early March will be the key to the two legs; Bayern Munich meets Benfica in the quarter-finals , Rui Costa, who transferred from Fiorentina to the Bundesliga Hollywood this season, will play against his home team in the round of sixteen; Parma's opponent is the Portuguese Super League giants Porto, Crespo, Cannavaro, The first appearance of the Milk Legion led by Buffon and other stars in the Champions League knockout round is the biggest highlight of this duel!

In this way, the last unassigned Fiorentina was naturally drawn to the last position in the lower half, and the opponent was Arsenal that Zhuang Mingge guessed!

Seeing this result, Zhuang Minge couldn't help laughing, while Karin and Groz Jr. turned their heads to look at him at the same time, with incredulous expressions on their faces.

"You were guessed right by Tony again..." Karin couldn't remember how many times she was speechless about the accuracy of Zhuang Mingge's prediction, "Although Beckenbauer explained the truth to you in advance. inside, but you guessed too accurately?"

"Well, it's actually not a big deal, as long as you master the method, you can easily guess the result." Zhuang Mingge scratched the back of his head and explained to Karin, "After all, among these eight teams, they are no worse than Florence in terms of status. There are only three of them, and Inter Milan can’t meet with us because of the avoidance principle of their own teams. In this way, there are only two options left: Liverpool and Arsenal.”

"Moreover, in the Champions League group stage last season, Liverpool was the defeat of Fiorentina. One summer is not enough to make the red army with little action change drastically in terms of overall strength, while Arsene Wenger led Arsenal last season. Broke Manchester United's dream of three consecutive league championships, and won the league and FA Cup double." After hearing Zhuang Mingge's narration, Karin suddenly realized that she was quite clever and applied this theory, "So, considering At this point, there is a high possibility that UEFA will exclude Liverpool and let Arsenal, who seem to be the most reliable, deal with us."

At this time, Wenger, who had also learned the result of the lottery, walked towards Zhuang Mingge's place with a smile on his face, apparently intending to chat with an old acquaintance.

"Hey, isn't this Arsene?" Seeing Wenger take the initiative to greet him, Zhuang Mingge, who knew he couldn't be rude on such an occasion, greeted warmly, and at the same time made a small joke, "I didn't expect this time My Fiorentina has actually been drawn with the Arsenal you coached. I hope you can save me a little face in the game for the sake of our friendship for many years, and don’t let Fiorentina lose too embarrassingly. How about it? "

Hearing Zhuang Mingge's unscrupulous words, Wenger almost fainted out of breath, thinking that your Fiorentina is much better than my coached Arsenal in every aspect.At that time, if Arsenal are not directly packed away by Fiorentina, I should be very proud. He also said that I should save some face for Fiorentina in the game, so that you don't make it too embarrassing to lose?It’s okay not to bring such a joke!

"Haha, Antonio, you really know how to joke. Who doesn't know that Fiorentina is the strongest team in Europe?" Wenger, who was roaring in his heart, managed to stabilize his mind, and at the same time squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "I'm here to look for you this time, but I want your help with Capello"

"Well, Arsene, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do to help you." Hearing Wenger's request, Zhuang Mingge spread his hands and said helplessly, "Although Coach Capello is my employee, the affairs of the team are up to him. Fully responsible, my boss does not have any right to speak in this regard."

"Oh, that's really a pity. I hope that Coach Capello will let me go in a reasonable way, so that we don't lose too badly." Wenger shrugged and said in a regretful tone.

Afterwards, Wenger and Zhuang Mingge exchanged views on other topics before leaving.

"Tony, it seems that Coach Wenger is deliberately showing weakness in front of us, so that we can take Arsenal lightly, so that he can profit from it in the game." Looking at the back of Wenger leaving, Karin said so.

"Hehe, of course I can see this." Zhuang Mingge smiled and agreed, "Wenger is indeed a first-class player in managing the team, but he still seems too immature when it comes to playing psychological warfare. Such a simple plan, not to mention the wily head coach of our team, even I would not be fooled."
