heir to the red devil

Chapter 965
The UEFA Champions League group stage is all over, and now everyone's eyes are on the scene of the draw ceremony.

Because the time for the draw ceremony and the Club World Cup match is very close, Kintiger still did not attend this year in order to lead the team to play in the Club World Cup. Woodward went to the scene as a representative of Manchester United.

Before the lottery ceremony, many reporters interviewed Jin Taige and asked him what he thought about the opponents in the lottery.

Jin Taige smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter who it is. After all, our goal is the championship, so we are not afraid of any team."

Faced with Jin Taige's somewhat perfunctory answer, a reporter asked persistently: "Coach Tiger, there are many of your rivals in the knockout round of the Champions League. Are you not worried that you will draw them and cause trouble for Manchester United? "

Kintag looked calm and at ease: "It is now the fifth season since I coached Manchester United. We have played in the Champions League for five consecutive seasons, and the worst result is the semi-finals. Counting from the group stage, We will meet at least 5 or 6 opponents every season, or even more. In the past few years, I have played against almost famous European powerhouses. Called a mortal enemy? If that's the case, I will really have mortal enemies all over the world."

As if he had a tacit understanding with Kintag, in Madrid, Spain, Mourinho also said something similar to the reporter: "We are Galacticos, the strongest team. I want to step over the corpses of all the teams and finally win To win the UEFA Champions League trophy, if we talk about my mortal enemy, then besides Real Madrid, the whole world is my mortal enemy!"

One is confident and the other is arrogant.The two of them are the two coaches with the best performance in leading the team in Europe this season. Now they have issued a victory declaration, which makes people feel the warm atmosphere of the Champions League competition in advance.

In addition to the two of them, many people also expressed their own opinions.

Paris coach Emery: "Last year we lost the league and the Champions League, this year we want to get everything back!"

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola: "Our goal this year is to surpass last year!"

Liverpool coach Klopp: "We want to tell the world that the horrible Red Army is back!"

Bayern coach Heynckes: "My fourth Bayern career is only this year, and I hope to lead Bayern to the top!"

Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde: "Reviving the Barcelona dynasty in its glory days is our goal this season!"

Everyone hopes to achieve something in this season's Champions League, and this season's Champions League is getting more and more interesting.

On the evening of December 12, at the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monaco, the draw ceremony for the knockout round of the UEFA Champions League round of 11 officially began.

The first eight groups are: Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, ​​Bayern, Manchester City, Liverpool, CSKA Moscow.

The second place in the eight groups is: Paris, Porto, Sevilla, Feyenoord, Atletico Madrid, Dortmund, Juventus, Ajax.

Coupled with the principle of avoidance, this time the Champions League grouping is very interesting.

The top eight teams are all top giants. Even CSKA Moscow is difficult to deal with because of their home court advantage.

And there are no underdogs in the second place in the eight groups. Several teams such as Juventus, Atletico Madrid, Dortmund, and Paris are even strong teams with top strength; and Ajax are not weak.

In this round of [-] finals, there will definitely be many strong dialogues.

Manchester City drew Dortmund.

These two teams are very strong, and their style of play is very open. Their match must be very interesting.

Guardiola said publicly that he likes the result very much.

When he was at Bayern, Guardiola had faced Dortmund many times. He knew the Hornet very well and was confident of defeating his opponent.

Bayern drew Atletico Madrid.

Following the 2015-2016 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, the two teams met again. Bayern had eliminated Atletico Madrid last time. Will the old coach Heynckes repeat the old things this time, or is he just getting old?

Both are La Liga teams, Real Madrid and Barcelona are much luckier.

Barcelona drew Feyenoord.Although the Dutch giants have performed well this season, their ability to successfully break through the Champions League group stage has proved their strength.But in the face of the universe team Barcelona... Feyenoord is still more ominous.

And now Real Madrid, the biggest favorite to win the Champions League, has drawn the giants Porto from Portugal. The strength of the two teams is very different, and it should not be a problem for Real Madrid to qualify.But this game is also very interesting. When Mourinho returns to Porto, what mood will he face his old club?
As Premier League teams, Chelsea and Liverpool are in different situations.

Chelsea drew Sevilla.Although Sevilla is good, at least it is much better than teams like Atletico Madrid and Dortmund.Conte is happy with the result of the draw.

Compared with Conte's good mood, Klopp's mood is not so beautiful.He drew one of the strongest teams in the second group of several groups - Juventus.Although the Bianconeri stumbled into the Champions League knockout round, their strength must not be underestimated.Liverpool is the most attacking team in the Premier League this season. They can break the old lady's defense, which is very exciting.

Among the second in several groups, the luckiest one was Ajax. They won the first place in the group with the weakest strength on paper - CSKA Moscow.It seems that the prospects of the Dutch teenager's promotion are still optimistic.As long as they can survive the icy and snowy away game in Russia, they will enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League with one leg.

Among all the draw matches, the game that fans are most looking forward to is the Manchester United game.Because their opponents are old enemies this time-Paris Saint-Germain!

Last season, Manchester United and Paris met in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In the end, Manchester United eliminated Paris and advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

In the two rounds, the two teams created two jaw-dropping games in world football, and the process of the game is still fresh in the memory.Ibrahimovic's 45-minute hat-trick amazed the world; and Lewandowski's 8-minute five-goal miracle created international football history!
Unexpectedly, a year later, the two teams met again.It's really a narrow road.

This time Manchester United has an extra young talent Mbappe, and the leader of Paris has also been replaced by Neymar from Ibrahimovic. In the end, who will be able to advance smoothly between the two teams?
