Chapter 337 14 Finals against Barcelona
Chapter 336 Quarter-final against Barcelona
There have been 29 rounds of Premier League games. Manchester United has played one less round and achieved the best record of 26 wins and 2 draws in the same period. The points reached a record high of 80 points. They are 2 points ahead of No.13 Manchester City and 3 points ahead of No.14 Chelsea.This championship should be the safest one for Manchester United. After all, in the last ten league games, it would be very difficult for Ferguson to make the last mistake of last season.

In the FA Cup, Manchester United has entered the semi-finals, the remaining three teams are Manchester City, Millwall and Wigan Athletic.It is not yet known who Manchester United's next opponent will be, but for Manchester United at present, it doesn't matter who they are, their goal is the championship.

The Champions League is always the top priority. Manchester United successfully advanced to the quarter-finals after crossing the barrier of Real Madrid, but none of the remaining teams are good at it. If they want to go to the end and win the cup, Manchester United needs absolute strength and luck.

On March 3th, it was time to test Manchester United's luck. Today's Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

In the living room of Lin Yi's villa, the sofa was overcrowded at this time. Everyone was looking forward to the lottery on TV, or there was nothing wrong with being nervous.

The guest of draw invited by UEFA today is the famous retired Italian bald referee Collina. This alien-like referee has officiated countless games in his life, and his level and authority have also been recognized all over the world.

After Collina retired in 2005, "Gazzetta dello Sport" said that there is no referee in the world who can calm those football superstars, and UEFA and FIFA also lack a referee who is absolutely assured in major games.

Collina has whistled countless games in his life, and he once whistled the international friendly match between the Chinese team and the England team. In the match between the US team and the Chinese women's football team in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Collina was also the referee on the field.

As a European, Collina has played 7 Manchester United games in his career. Manchester United has 5 wins and 2 draws. He can be described as the lucky star of Manchester United.The most famous 1998-1999 UEFA Champions League final miracle at Camp Nou was whistled by Collina.

Ji Dong has never worked with Collina on the same court, but this does not hinder Ji Dong's respect for him. After all, reputation is still very important in most cases.

Collina started tonight's draw after a brief interview with the beauty host.

The first ball he draws is for Bayern Munich, meaning the Bundesliga giants will play their home game first, which is not good news for Bayern.

One of the favorites to win the championship was drawn at the beginning. The tense palms of the audience on the scene and before the TV festival were sweaty. No one touched Bayern, at least not now. The German team is too stable this season. They are even more balanced than Manchester United.

The second ball was drawn, and when the note was unfolded, the Juventus club representative let out a sigh. They did not expect to touch Bayern. The German team and the Italian team had some conflicts. The latter was most afraid of the iron-blooded and disciplined team football of the Bundesliga.

The first quarter-final matchup between the two sides was released, Bayern Munich played against Juventus, there is no doubt that this is also a final-level confrontation.

When this result came out, Juventus hated Collina even more. In 2004, a group of angry Juventus fans set up a website with the domain name www.odiocollina.com, which translates into Chinese as "I hate Collina".

Juventus have not won a Serie A game under Collina's charge since 2001 and lost all three of his games in 2004.

Of course, Collina did not actually make any mistakes in these games, and after the outbreak of "Call Gate", Collina was the first referee to be ruled out of suspicion, which can be regarded as a divine assist for Juventus fans.

In the second set of duels, Collina drew Dortmund and Malaga successively. Although they had to play at home first, the TV camera clearly captured the picture of Dortmund general manager Watzke and his colleagues secretly smiling.The German team drew a good lottery, and their fans must be singing the praises of Collina.

Malaga is a bit sad. After all, except for Galatasaray, there is not much difference between their other teams. After all, they are very reluctant to reach the top 8.

"Why haven't Manchester United come out yet, won't they face Barcelona!"

Although he can't play for Manchester United, Ross Barkley is still very nervous. If Manchester United can win the championship, he will have the opportunity to play in the Super Cup and the Club World Cup.

"It won't be so unlucky, isn't there Paris and Galatasaray!"

Januzaj doesn't believe United's luck is that bad.

"If you want to win the championship, it doesn't matter who you bump into, but Lin's suspension is a big trouble."

Lucio's words are very pertinent, after all, he has experienced everything and won everything.

"Don't make a noise, don't make a noise, Collina draws lots again!"

Mateus gnawed an apple in his mouth and said he didn't care, but in fact he was the one who cared the most about the lottery.He has championship medals including the UEFA Cup and Super Cup, and his entire career is short of the Champions League and Club World Cup championship medals.He was the one who was most nervous in tonight's lottery, but in order not to be seen by others, he used to eat to cover up his nervousness. This was already the second apple he ate, but he was so nervous that he forgot about it.

With the fifth ball drawn by Collina, Galatasaray, the Turkish team that was slaughtered by Manchester United 8:0 in the group stage, not only qualified, but also entered the quarterfinals.But at this time, everyone regarded them as good signings.

At this point, the sixth ball drawn by Collina is related to the fate of the four teams. Which one will it be?

"Crack", Mateus bit off a large piece of apple again, and he silently said "Manchester United, Manchester United, Manchester United..."

"Oh, F*U*C*K!"

Van Persie, who has always been gentle and gentle, even exploded with foul language, not to mention that the others were already furious.

"There must be something shady about this fucking!"

"Hell, is UEFA going to report Barcelona and Messi?"

The note in the sixth ball unfolded and the name of the Paris Saint-Germain team appeared on the TV screen.Seeing this result, everyone on the scene laughed, especially the representatives of the Barcelona club, who laughed the most.

"It's really bad, Galatasaray played home and then away to Paris Saint-Germain, which means Manchester United must play Barcelona.

These two teams have the lowest odds of winning at 3.25, and now they meet in the quarter-finals. This is the most intense collision, but because Manchester United's core player Lin is suspended, he will miss the first round of the game, which will have a great impact on Manchester United.

In addition, after Lin eliminated Real Madrid as a savior, Manchester United has basically won half of the Premier League title this season. He is now one of the favorites for this year's Ballon d'Or.But if he loses in the Champions League to another Messi who is almost certain to win the La Liga title, then Lin's road to the Ballon d'Or is very hanging.

Barcelona are very lucky, they may encounter the weakest time of Manchester United this season.

This is really dramatic. Of course, if Lin and Manchester United can cross the barrier of Messi and Barcelona, ​​then they will become the third team in history to eliminate Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League in one season. The previous two teams were Bayern Munich and Liverpool, and they finally won the championship that season. "

No one in Lin Yi's villa listened to the analysis of the BBC host. They all thought that UEFA was recommending Messi and Barcelona.

It is no secret that UEFA President Michel Platini likes Messi and Barcelona, ​​just like the Chinese like to call Michel Platini the godfather of Barcelona and Messi. In fact, Europeans also have this understanding. After all, with the rise of Barcelona over the years, there are too many controversial stories about them on the pitch.

"Although there is no suspense in the matchup of the last group, Collina still needs to draw the last ball. The team drawn first needs to play at home first..."

"What else is there to draw, idiot host, the **** knows that the seventh ball is definitely Manchester United, UEFA just wants to play us to death."

Hearing the endless scolding from his teammates, Ji Dong also began to suspect that everything was normal aside from the group stage.But when it came to the knockout rounds, something was wrong. First, they met Real Madrid, which made the outside world shout in disbelief, but now they met Barcelona again, and Lin Yi happened to be suspended for one round.

Just as his teammates were worried, Collina's seventh ball was indeed Manchester United, and then the eighth ball was opened to Barcelona.

"Manchester United are hosts and then away. After they knocked out Real Madrid, they met Barcelona. What can I say, maybe this is the status quo of English football. We always draw the most difficult draws."

The BBC did not say outright that there was a problem with the draw, but their words were clearly dissatisfied with the draw.

In fact, since the UEFA Champions League has drawn lots, almost every few years, some people have questioned the fairness and transparency of the draw.

There have also been media questions about cheating in the draw before. Some said that the temperature of these balls will be artificially controlled. The draw guests only need to draw the hot ball to develop according to the draw plan set by UEFA.

The media and draw guests also broke the news that the club name paper is a high-tech product, and they will change the name of the club they want to draw at any time according to the needs of the backstage.

In short, there are all kinds of guesses, and these two guesses are the most marketable.

Ji Dong didn't believe that Corina would do this, and he also believed that the guests who drew lots before would not do this. Otherwise, in the 1/8 finals, Maldini would cooperate with UEFA to pit AC Milan. This kind of thing is impossible to think about.

Ji Dong believed in Corina, and he also believed in other draw guests, but after these two draws, he absolutely did not believe in UEFA. At this time, Ji Dong finally knew why the English media always used conspiracy theories to see UEFA. They were indeed suspicious.

Since it has been so many years that no club has directly stood up and openly questioned UEFA's draw, it means that everyone has accepted this unspoken rule.If you want to play happily with your friends, you must accept the rules of the game.

This matter cannot be investigated, let alone investigated, so no matter how reluctant Manchester United and the English media are, they must accept this lottery arrangement.

The first round of the match between the two sides will be held at Old Trafford on April 4. It is expected that the two sides will have a fierce collision. As for the war of words outside the field, it has already begun.

Everyone thought that it would be Manchester United fans or players who expressed dissatisfaction with the draw, but no one expected that the first ones to jump out were Barcelona players.

On the second day after the lottery ended, at the gate of Barcelona's Gamper training base, a reporter from "World Sports Daily" interviewed his friend Pique.

As a player produced by Barcelona's La Masia, Pique has not always been famous in Barcelona. From 2004 to 2008, Pique was a player of Manchester United.Although he was loaned to Zaragoza, after returning to Manchester United, Ferguson also gave him a lot of opportunities.

The turning point of Pique's Manchester United career was on November 2007, 11, in Manchester United's away game against Bolton. In the game, Pique miscalculated the height and caused Manchester United to lose the game 24-0.After this game, Pique lost the trust of Ferguson, and Pique's chances of playing were reduced accordingly, and he was eventually marginalized.

In May 2008, Pique left Manchester United and returned to Barcelona Football Club, perhaps returning to the familiar La Masia system. After returning to Barcelona, ​​Pique rose rapidly and became an international central defender who could compete with Ramos.

However, with the rise of Pique, there are more and more controversies about him.Pique is the most staunch Catalanist, he has a strong political appeal, he has expressed support for Catalonia's independence from Spain more than once in public.

In addition, Pique is also extremely hated towards Real Madrid. He has publicly attacked Ronaldo and Ramos many times, even though Ronaldo is his former Manchester United teammate, and Ramos is his current national team defense partner.But nothing can stop Pique's big mouth from talking nonsense.

"As a former Manchester United player, this time against Manchester United and returning to Old Trafford, do you have anything to say to Manchester United fans?"

"Hehe, in fact, if you don't say that I have forgotten that I had a Manchester United experience, it is really a bad memory. But this time I go back, I will make them regret ignoring it.

Borrowing a famous internet saying, 'At the beginning you ignored me, but now I, Pique, make you unable to climb high! '

Thank you Manchester United, thank you for sending me back to the great Barcelona. In 2009, I proved that I was better than any Manchester United central defender in the Champions League final, but it was a pity that it was not at Old Trafford. This time I finally had the opportunity to wear the Barcelona jersey and go to Manchester United to eliminate them. This is God's arrangement. "

"Then how do you see the rivalry between Messi and Lin?"

"Competition? Are you kidding me, yes, you must be!

Messi is Mr Ballon d'Or, at club level he wins everything, what Lin has, I really don't know, and losers get nothing, that's what history tells us.

Unfortunately, the loser in the Champions League this season is destined to be Manchester United. "

"I heard that Lin may transfer to Real Madrid, what do you think about it?"

"It's just right! It's all the same thing, just right, every time you teach Real Madrid a lesson, you can teach the rookies by the way. Welcome to La Liga, where you will know what is the fear of being dominated by Barcelona."
