The second leg of all 16 1/16 finals of the 2011-2012 UEFA Cup has ended, and the teams that advance to the round of 16 have been decided.
The draw ceremony for the 1/8 finals kicked off at UEFA headquarters at 12 noon on Friday.
The draw process is simple and goes very fast.
Although the attention paid to the UEFA Cup cannot be compared with that of the Champions League, the competition between the two strong teams will still attract great attention.
Manchester United, the runner-up of the Champions League last season, was drawn out first.
The officials of the remaining 15 teams in attendance all felt great pressure.
Atletico Madrid players who were dining at the Espino training base and the first-team restaurant were holding their plates and watching the LCD TVs hanging on the wall.
"Hey, I don't know which team will be unlucky."
Chang Jin said.
The next moment.
Marchetti, the competition director in charge of the draw, had already unscrewed the ball with the UEFA logo and naturally opened the paper with the team name printed on it.
The on-site director used the broadcasting technology to advance the picture.
"Atletico Madrid!"
At the same time, Marchetti's voice was transmitted to the ears of Atletico Madrid players in the restaurant through the broadcast signal.
"Damn~"
Chang Jin and his teammates who were dining looked at each other in bewilderment.
No one spoke for a long time, and you could hear a pin drop.
Chang Jin laughed heartlessly: "Well, it's just Manchester United, what's there to be afraid of? Ferguson's hands were shaking when he was beaten by Barcelona in the Champions League final last year. We just beat Barcelona 3:0 at Camp Nou. According to the law of conservation of energy, we should at least beat Manchester United 6:1, right?"
"..."
Everyone was speechless about Chang Jin's understanding.
But the draw is already set, no matter how many complicated emotions there are, it can't change it. It's better to empty your mind and prepare for the two-round Europa League quarter-finals with Manchester United.
There are also two strong teams in the other seven quarter-final draws.
Sporting Lisbon VS Manchester City, Twente VS Schalke 04.
Before the first round of the Europa League quarter-finals, Atletico Madrid still has two rounds of league games.
Away challenge to Osasuna and home game against Sevilla.
The draw results are out.
The reports of British and Spanish media are polarized.
The British media has always regarded the Premier League as the world's first league, and Manchester United is the most successful team since the establishment of the Premier League.
Drawing Atletico Madrid is undoubtedly a good draw.
Advancement to the quarter-finals is a foregone conclusion.
Steady!
The views of the Spanish media are different from those of the British media. They believe that Atletico Madrid can beat Barcelona by three goals at Camp Nou, which has proved that they are strong overall and are not afraid of Manchester United.
The most important thing is that Simeone has never lost since he coached Atletico Madrid.
Seven wins and two draws in nine games!
Only 4 goals were lost on the defensive end.
Only 0.44 goals were lost per game.
Atletico Madrid also has advantages that Manchester United does not have.
Early elimination in the King's Cup means that they can only fight on two fronts.And there is no task to compete for the championship.
On the other hand, Manchester United.
Ranked second in the league, two points behind its city rival Manchester City, and there is also the FA Cup.
In summary, Atletico Madrid faces much less pressure as a whole, and can hit the Europa League championship without reservation!
……
The 25th round of the 2011-2012 La Liga season was first played at the Sardine Stadium.
Santander Racing, the brother in distress, faced Gijon Sporting.
The two teams fought hard for 90 minutes and each got one point.
Real Madrid, who needed to be distracted in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, visited the Vallecas Stadium and won all three points with a score of 1:0 thanks to Ronaldo's final goal.
There was no upset in the game played in Barcelona later.
With two goals from Messi and Pedro, they defeated Zaragoza 2:0.
Atletico's league match against Osasuna at El Sadar Stadium kicked off on Sunday night.
Facing the team with the third fewest goals and the second most goals conceded in the league so far this season, Atletico, who played the Europa League on Thursday but did not consume much, won 3:0 with goals from Godin, Thiago and Salvio.
Chang Jin made an outstanding contribution again.
Perfect defensive data and created many opportunities on offense.
Two precise transfers won one-on-one opportunities and also sent a direct assist.
Although he was not officially named the best player of the game, he made great contributions.
Manchester United coach Ferguson, who watched Atletico's live broadcast, was both excited and worried.
What excited him was that he finally found a dream midfielder who met the requirements, but what worried him was that this young midfielder was very compatible with Atletico's overall tactics, which greatly increased the team's combat effectiveness.
He also knew why Barcelona was defeated by Atletico at home with three goals.
The success rate of frontal defense is 100%, and he also has excellent defensive command and backup capabilities.
He can organize, pass, be strong, and have excellent long passes on the offensive end...
He has almost all the qualities of a top midfielder.
If you have to find a shortcoming.
His header ability is obviously weak, and his control of the game rhythm is still lacking.
But such a shortcoming is not worth mentioning for a young player who is only 17 years old.
The future is promising!
...
Atletico Madrid, who won the game, took all three points.
With one game ahead, they reversed Valencia by 1 point and ranked third in the league.
Atletico Madrid fans suddenly became one of the happiest fan groups on the planet.
Before the winter break, the team ranked tenth in the league.
After eight rounds of the league, they directly ranked third.
I don’t know if Valencia, who played at home, felt the huge pressure, but lost the league match against Sevilla.
1:2.
So, Atletico Madrid became the third in La Liga!
There is also good news for Valencia.
8 points ahead of Levante, the fifth in the league, meansIt won't be too difficult to qualify for the Champions League qualifiers next season.
After narrowing the gap, Atletico Madrid did not become complacent. On the contrary, under the encouragement of head coach Simeone, they showed a strong desire to fight.
They are actively preparing for the next round of the league against Sevilla at home, and the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals at Old Trafford next Thursday.
As Atletico Madrid ranked third in the league, the mainstream European media paid more and more attention to the Europa League knockout match between Manchester United and Atletico Madrid.
The highly-watched Atletico Madrid head coach Simeone, players Falcao, Chang Jin, etc.
They all focused their energy on preparing for the league and the Europa League, and were not affected by the outside world.
After the league match against Osasuna and Sevilla, there was almost a week of rest.
Simeone has more room to adjust the lineup.
However, after almost two months of coaching, he already has a stable tactical system in mind.
During the preparation period, he focused on physical recovery and tactical running-in.
On the premise of ensuring the smooth implementation of the previous tactics, Chang Jin was gradually pushed to the core of offense and defense.
Most players had no opinion on Simeone's tactical thinking.
Diego, who wanted to regain his peak form in Atletico, was the only one who complained.
Simeone had the guarantee of results and was a famous player.
The club's status was getting higher and higher, and the support in the locker room was strong.
So Diego became the first player to be banished since Simeone took over Atletico.
Chang Jin had no choice about it.
That's how the workplace is.
Simeone wanted to help him become the core, but he couldn't just say no, right?
Besides, the coaching staff asked in advance if he had the confidence to be the core of the midfield.
How could such an opportunity be missed?
