Chapter 247 Champions League quarterfinal opponent: Red Devils Manchester United

At the same time that Atletico Madrid advanced to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, in the Champions League, the most gold-rich quarter-finals team of this season was released. Real Madrid drew 1:1 with Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes. With a good foundation of winning the first leg at the Bernabeu 3:2, they eliminated the Ligue 4 leaders with a total score of 3:[-].Bell assisted Ronaldo to score for the visiting team to take the lead, and Mbappe rode thousands of miles to equalize for the home team. The new European golden boy once again showed his value.Once let the home fans see the hope of winning.

However, Real Madrid, relying on stronger midfield control and a strong foundation built with the championship, maintained the overall score advantage until the end. The defending road of the BBC team is still going on, and the performance of the CNM team in the Champions League can only stop here.

Such a group of powerful dialogues feasted the eyes of all fans.After the game, the French media lamented that the La Liga duo is really the insurmountable nemesis of Paris on the road to the Champions League.

In the last four seasons, Paris Saint-Germain has all broken into the Champions League knockout rounds, and this time, it is the third time they have fallen at the feet of a La Liga team.Barcelona staged the "Camp Nou Miracle" countdown last season, which stimulated Paris to spend 6.4 million euros in the summer to build the No. [-] team in Europe. Originally, the top [-] drew lots to avoid Barcelona.

As a result, he was taught to be a man every minute by the Real Madrid BBC team.Compared with them, the CNM combination of Greater Paris appears to be more than sharp but inexperienced.

Older gingers are more spicy.

The schedule of the Champions League round of sixteen has a very long time span. After the match between Real Madrid and Paris, it took another week for all the teams that have advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League to be settled.

The only upset was that the Ukrainian team Shakhtar Donetsk eliminated Roma with the advantage of away goals after two rounds of confrontation.Other than that, there is no suspense.Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Juventus and Bayern respectively eliminated their opponents and joined the quarterfinals.

Only Bayern took a little trouble in the middle.Facing the dark horse Besiktas of the Turkish Super League who qualified first in Group G, Bayern was actually tied 1:1 at the Allianz Arena in the first round.The Turkish media suddenly saw hope that Besiktas may tie Galatasaray's best record in the UEFA Champions League created by Galatasaray in the 2012-13 season.

But in the second round, the well-prepared Bundesliga overlord made the opponent feel the gap between the dark horse and the giants, not a star.

Despite being a guest at the opponent's Devil's home court, Bayern took control of the rhythm from the first minute.Polish striker Lewandowski scored twice in the first half, and Vidal added to the team's icing on the cake in the second half.And Besiktas' top scorer, Negredo, only got a few poor sporadic opportunities under Bayern's overall targeted defensive care.

……

All eight teams are produced on March [-]th.According to UEFA's official competition regulations, the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals will be held on the second day, which is March [-]th.Taking advantage of the heat of the Champions League, the next round of strong dialogue will be announced immediately, so as to attract a wave of attention. UEFA's influence on the Champions League can be said to have reached a level of nuance.

Unlike the draw for the round of [-], the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League will not have any avoidance rules, it will be completely random, and fate will be decided by God.

This also means that there will be multiple sets of Champions League championship-level contests hidden in the quarter-finals. For Chinese fans, it is difficult to say which opponent Atletico Madrid will draw.The contest between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona is still lingering, and the ups and downs of the game make everyone want to stop.If you can do it again in the Champions League, most people will applaud.

Of course, if Real Madrid is drawn, everyone is welcome.The derby in the knockout round of the Champions League, under the double focus, the game will never be boring.Atletico Madrid's WCG team will face Real Madrid's BBC team for the first time. Chinese fans can look forward to Wen Zhihao leading Atletico Madrid to break the fate of Real Madrid's inevitable defeat in the Champions League.

Regarding the matter of choosing an opponent, Wen Zhihao gave the impression that he was quite indifferent to the outside world, and he had never had a particular tendency.However, journalists like to bring up this question again and again at times like this.

Surprisingly, Wen Zhihao's answer this time is very interesting.

"As long as it's not Shakhtar Donetsk, nothing else matters."

The reporters immediately came to their senses and asked: "Why Donetsk? Will Atletico Madrid still be afraid of the weakest Ukrainian team?"

Wen Zhihao responded calmly: "Of course not! Go check the world map and see who is close to Ukraine, and you will understand. If Shakhtar Donetsk is drawn, the away game must be a devil's trip-I don't just mean the field."

The reporters all had at least a college degree. They were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Indeed!Be neighbors with Russia, a fighting nation, and the fans of the two countries have the same ancestors and roots in history.Who can guarantee that the local fans will not do any shocking things because of their emotions?

It is to create a little trouble, such as blowing the horn at the entrance of the visiting team's hotel to make noise, blocking the visiting team's bus, etc., which will have a great negative impact on the rest and preparation of the visiting team players.

However, as soon as Wen Zhihao's interview was transferred to China, there were many enthusiastic young people on the Internet who gave Wen Zhihao a place.

"Don't be afraid, Zhihao. If you win the lottery, let him go and play. I will be the first one to back you up. If those grandchildren dare to surround you, they must first ask me if I agree."

"On the top floor! When the time comes, everyone will form a group to go there. If you dare to touch Zhihao, you don't have to say, cut him off!"

"Upstairs are full of self-willed young masters who leave as soon as they say they want. I can only silently ask the Chinese consulate over there to pay attention to Zhihao's personal safety..."

The next night, the Champions League quarter-final match was announced at UEFA headquarters.

Wen Zhihao doesn't have to worry about troubles in the expedition to Ukraine, and the passionate Chinese fans can also save trouble-Atletico Madrid did not draw Shakhtar Donetsk.

From the perspective of the team's interests, it is bad news. The weakest opponent has not been drawn, and each of the remaining opponents is a tough nut to crack.

But luck is not the worst. Atletico Madrid also did not draw top teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern.

Their next opponent is the Red Devils Manchester United led by the madman Mourinho!
For Atletico Madrid, it is a not-so-bad lottery.In terms of strength, Atletico Madrid should be stronger, and Wen Zhihao is no stranger to Manchester United. He played against Manchester United in the Europa League last season. From his experience, he can also provide the team with a lot of valuable information.

……

United Kingdom, Manchester.

Just after the away game with West Ham United, Mourinho knew his next Champions League opponent as soon as he returned to Manchester, and immediately frowned.

Facing Atletico Madrid is already under a lot of pressure, and there is also a Chinese name that has been implanted in my mind since last year-Wen Zhihao!

Mourinho feels this is the team's first big challenge in the Champions League this year.

After thinking for a while, Mourinho made a decisive decision and said to his assistant Faria: "Ruy, from now on, send someone to collect the video of every game of Atletico Madrid. Do you still remember the Chinese from Vitesse last year... Yes, Wen Zhihao! Make a summary of all his performances and give it to me. Remember, it’s all of them, and you can’t miss a game!"
