Chapter 269 Next opponent: Manchester United!

Just when European football was arguing because of an interview with Van Gaal, another matter that attracted much attention also attracted the attention of European football.

Lausanne, Switzerland, UEFA Headquarters, on the evening of March 3, the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in the 21/09 season was held.

But before that, let's talk about the eight teams that won in the quarter-finals.

They are Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Manchester United, Inter Milan, CSKA Moscow, Bordeaux, Arsenal.

Eight teams from six different leagues. Speaking of which, UEFA most wants to see this kind of scene.

Among them, except for Bordeaux and CSKA Moscow, which seem to be weaker, none of them are easy to deal with.

After all, when the Champions League reaches the quarter-finals, it is already difficult to advance by luck. At this time, strength is the most important thing.

In charge of this draw is Real Madrid's sports manager Butragueno.

Finally, amidst the intense media and team attention, he started the draw.

First, the first group in the first half played against both sides. He took out a small ball and opened it. Butragueno smiled helplessly. He actually drew his own team Real Madrid for the first time.

Next, he drew the opponent for Real Madrid, took out the small ball, opened it, and this time Butragueno smiled even more happily.

In Bordeaux, Butragueno actually drew the best draw for Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.

Seeing this, many people in the media felt that this guy might be cheating!
In the second round of the previous quarter-finals of the Champions League, Real Madrid relied on Ronaldo's performance to turn the tide and advanced at home with difficulty, finally breaking the curse of the Champions League Sixteen Lang.

And now, Bordeaux, who is recognized as the weakest in the group, is drawn again. This is simply to send Real Madrid to the semi-finals.

No wonder Butragueno is so happy.

You must know that playing one more game in the Champions League is not just a matter of honor, it is all money spent in vain.

Maybe because of this draw, Florentino will give Butragueno a bonus when he goes back.

After finishing the first group in the first half, Butragueno started to draw the second group in the first half.

Watching Butragueno open the ball, Yang Mo, who was watching the game at home, found that it was the symbol of Bayern.

"Yang, you actually hit the mark. Now we are likely to play against Real Madrid."

On the sofa next to Yang Mo, Schweinsteiger opened his mouth wide.

"What's right?" Mueller on the other side was full of doubts. Mueller didn't know the reason why Schweinsteiger and Yang Mo were playing games.

That's right, this time Yang Mo didn't watch the quarter-final draw ceremony alone, but invited Schweinsteiger and Muller together.

Ribery was originally invited, but the guy and his wife went to have a candlelight dinner and didn't have time to come.

"Look at the opponent first." Yang Mo's expression was calm.

Real Madrid should not be underestimated, but if they want to face Real Madrid in the semi-finals, Bayern must at least defeat their opponents first.

Among the remaining teams, the best opponent is of course CSKA Moscow.

However, when Butragueno opened the drawer, the three of Yang Mo couldn't help but sighed.

The Premier League Red Devils Manchester United, this is definitely one of the opponents Bayern is least willing to meet in the quarter-finals.

Although after Ronaldo left in the summer of 09, the successors Ferguson found were not very qualified, but Manchester United still ranks first in the Premier League standings this season.

Facing Manchester United like this, needless to say, this quarter-final is destined to be a hard fight.

After the four teams in the first half were drawn, Butragueno quickly drew out the opposing team in the second half.

Inter Milan played CSKA Moscow and Barcelona played Arsenal.

So far, the last draw of the UEFA Champions League this season has ended. On March 3, Bayern will be at home to usher in the first round of the match with Manchester United.

But before that, Bayern couldn't relax at all.

On March 3, the semi-finals of the German Cup will start, and Bayern will go away to play Schalke 24, the current Bundesliga No.2.

On March 3, Bayern will welcome the No.27 opponent of the eighth round of the Bundesliga at home, the old rival Stuttgart.

After such a dense schedule, Bayern will face Manchester United again. Obviously, the Bayern coaching staff must respond and make choices.

But the most critical issue is that it is impossible for Bayern to give up any of the three lines so far.

The triple crown is not only what the fans expect of Bayern, but also what the entire Bayern team expects of themselves.

However, in response to Manchester United's game, Van Gaal still made certain adjustments.

On March 3th, when the starting lineup for the match between Bayern and Schalke 24 was announced, everyone was surprised to find that the Yangberg team, which was in hot form before, did not play in this match.

Although it is still the familiar 442 formation, Olic and Gomez are indeed the partners on the front line.

In the midfielder position, Van Gaal put Muller up.

As for Yang Mo and Ribery, the two sat on the bench talking and laughing. Obviously Van Gaal wanted Yang Mo and Ribery, the two core players, to rest in this game.

But if there is an unresolvable situation on the field, it is estimated that the two will still be replaced.

However, until the end of the game, Yang Mo and Ribery did not set foot on the field.

In this German Cup semi-final, Schalke 04, who opened up a stance against Bayern, failed to withstand Bayern's offensive.

Although Schalke 04 also scored two goals for Bayern in the game, Bayern scored five goals.

2:5, Schalke 04 had no choice but to be out, Bayern and Werder Bremen joined forces in Berlin to compete for the German Cup.

After the German Cup semi-final, on March 3, Bayern ushered in the challenge of Stuttgart at home.

In this game, Van Gaal did not let Yang Mo and Ribery sit on the bench, but started the game.

Facing the starting Youngberg combination, Stuttgart was obviously powerless to resist, falling behind by two goals in the first half alone.

After the start of the second half, Yang Mo, who scored a goal in the first half, was replaced, leaving only Ribery on the field.

In this kind of almost back-to-back game, Van Gaal still wants Yang Mo to preserve his physical fitness and better prepare for the Champions League quarter-finals in three days.

At the same time, in Manchester, England, Ferguson also called all the members of the coaching staff and began to arrange the game against Bayern three days later.

In the conference room where the preparation meeting was held, Ferguson pointed to a projector screen in front of him and said solemnly: "If we want to beat Bayern, we must pay attention to this player!"

The projection on the screen did not show someone else, but Yang Mo's game photo of Yang Mo, who was officially wearing the No. 10 Bayern jersey.

Today's European teams, as long as they are not brain-dead, understand that after facing Bayern, they must put this Chinese kid on the list of key defenses.

In the past, anyone who underestimated Yang Mo has fallen at Yang Mo's feet.

Whether you admit it or not, looking at Yang Mo's astonishing number of goals, you must admit that this is a young man with terrifying strength.

　Hmm... Some people may ask, how did Real Madrid enter the quarter-finals, and I honestly answered the fat man, I let him enter, and playing against Lyon is not as good as playing against Real Madrid.
