Explosive shooting at full level at the beginning, the arrival of the British Emperor Star

The lottery ceremony began, and the camera lens first gave a panoramic view.

Sun Ke saw Wenger with a serious face. He was far away from Ferguson, and Ferguson didn't look relaxed either.

A bearded host said a bunch of opening remarks, and the highlights of the top [-] promotions appeared on the big screen behind him.

There are four La Liga teams, three Bundesliga teams, two Premier League teams and two Serie A teams in the top [-].

The Scottish Premier League, Ukrainian Premier League, Portuguese Premier League, Turkish Premier League and French Ligue [-] each have one team.

The person in charge of the draw was Zidane. Seeing this guy, Sun Ke felt that Arsenal would not get a good draw.

In the past few seasons, UEFA has obviously favored Real Madrid, and they have also been good to Manchester United and Barcelona.

These three teams are traffic teams, and UEFA usually reserves them for the quarterfinals.

But with Manchester United eliminated from the group last season, they should have lost their "privilege".

In the previous life, Manchester United drew Real Madrid in the first round of the knockout round.

Sun Ke feels that in the first round of UEFA's draw, they usually try to find ways for a Serie A team to advance to the quarterfinals.

Then use the top two of La Liga or Bayern to consume a Premier League team.

As a result, it will be impossible for three teams to advance to the quarterfinals in the Premier League.

Sun Ke feels that UEFA’s idea is to create a tit-for-tat situation between La Liga and the Premier League.

Under this policy, the upstart Premier League Manchester City was drawn into the Group of Death for two consecutive seasons.

Last season, Napoli defeated Manchester City in the group, and UEFA immediately drew them and Chelsea into the first round of the knockout rounds.

If Chelsea hadn't been lucky enough, they would have probably missed the top [-].

On the TV screen, a UEFA official came up to introduce the draw rules for the knockout rounds.

There are two rounds of draws in the Champions League knockout rounds, namely the draw for the top [-] and the draw for the quarter-finals.

After the quarter-finals are drawn, the eight teams will enter two halves, and there is no need to draw lots for the semi-finals.

The draw for the top 04 follows the same league avoidance principle, that is, Bayern will not draw Schalke [-], and Barcelona will not draw Real Madrid and Valencia.

After introducing the rules, the host started chatting with Zidane and asked him which matchups between teams he would like to see.

Zidane said seriously that he did not want Real Madrid to meet a strong team early.

Look how deep the routine is.

If they are drawn together at that time, some live broadcast effects can be added.

The nonsense time is over and the drawing ceremony begins.

Zidane drew Porto first, and the Portuguese giants can only be regarded as weak teams in the top [-] of the Champions League.

Sky Sports host Martin Taylor simply called Porto a big gift package. He expressed the hope that Arsenal or Manchester United would draw this opponent.

Zidane quickly turned around in the ball that ranked first in the group and pulled out a ball.

At this time, the live camera gave him a close-up. Zidane broke open the ball, took out a note, took a look at it, and then said loudly: "Malaga!"

Sun Ke found that there were seven or eight glass containers on the table, and there were several balls in each container.

He felt that the lottery ceremony was like a magic show.

The UEFA official began to draw the second ball in the group, took out a red ball, and it turned out to be Real Madrid.

At this time, the live broadcast screen began to show a close-up of the head coach of the first team in the group.

Several head coaches looked obviously serious.

Zidane drew a blue ball from the glass bottle that ranked first in the group.

After opening it, Zidane opened the note in surprise and shouted: "Arsenal!"

For a moment, the entire venue let out a burst of exclamation.

Arsenal drew Real Madrid!

The focus of the first round of the knockout round!

No!

This plot is too scary!

Sun Ke didn't expect that UEFA was so cruel!

In order to get rid of Arsenal, Real Madrid was released!

If you look at the strength of the players alone, Real Madrid will always be among the top three in the world.

Because their marketing work is so good.

When it comes to Real Madrid, the first concept that comes to the minds of this generation should be "Galactic Battleship".

Although the superstar policy was not successful at the competitive level, it left an indelible impression on a generation of Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has not won the Champions League trophy for 12 consecutive years, and has even been suppressed by Barcelona in La Liga.

But it still hasn't affected their glorious image in the hearts of players and fans around the world.

Real Madrid's marketing case is the focus of study in many European and American university business schools.

In short, Real Madrid always attracts the best players.

At this time, the live broadcast camera gave a close-up of the head coaches of both teams.

Wenger looked at the three people on the stage angrily, while Mourinho held his chin in his hand and smiled eagerly.

Avoiding Bayern and meeting Real Madrid again.

Arsenal's life is so miserable!

The draw ceremony continues.

Immediately afterwards, Paris drew Schalke 04, and Bayern drew Galatasaray.

Later, Zidane drew Manchester United from the glass bottle that ranked first in the group.

The host began to introduce: "Manchester United's opponents will be between Celtic, Valencia, Shakhtar Donetsk and AC Milan!"

The UEFA official immediately grabbed a red ball and opened it to take a look.

It's Valencia!

Look, if Valencia doesn't give it to Arsenal, it will give it to Manchester United.

Although the strength of this Valencia team is far inferior to the Valencia team that reached the Champions League final ten years ago, it is still difficult to handle.

The live broadcast showed a close-up of Ferguson. The old man had no expression on his face, but the Valencia coach was a little eager to try.

Because Arsenal and Real Madrid were the main players, Manchester United's draw against Valencia did not cause much shock.

Subsequently, Barcelona drew AC Milan, and the stadium once again let out exclamations.

The two teams met in the group stage last season, and this time they were arranged by "fate" to be together.

This pick guarantees Barcelona's advancement to the quarterfinals.

Then Dortmund and Shakhtar Donetsk were divided together, and Juventus and Celtic naturally formed a group.

Ha ha!

Sun Ke didn't expect that UEFA would play such a ruthless game!

In recent years, whether Arsenal finished first or second in the group, they would always encounter Bayern.

Occasionally, for a change, give me Barcelona.

In the past few years, if Arsenal had not encountered Barcelona and Bayern, there was a high probability that Arsenal would advance to the quarterfinals. After all, competing for the top four is no joke.

Letting Real Madrid play Arsenal is a risky move. Although Real Madrid's players are stronger, Arsenal was evenly matched with Barcelona last season, and their strength has improved to a higher level this season.

But it is worth noting that Real Madrid’s head coach this season is Mourinho.

The biggest characteristic of "Madman" is stability. Real Madrid has a high probability of winning when facing Arsenal.

Paris' treatment was very different, giving them Schalke 04.

It seems to be a team from the five major leagues, but the overall strength is definitely far inferior to them.

As a social person who traveled through time, Sun Ke has already figured it out.

Everything in this world that is linked to interests has a script.

Variety shows have scripts, and football also has scripts.

What role ordinary people play in this script all depends on the script.

Only a handful of people can use hard power to change their destiny.

If the light is bright enough, it can either break through the script, or someone can change the script for you.

In this world, the vast majority of people live in a script that a few people have set early.

Sun Ke didn't feel like he was controlling his destiny. Life was not a chess game.

Although the rules of the game were set early, they could only direct the development of the story and had no way to prevent accidents from happening.

Last season, Chelsea changed their fate and won the Champions League trophy.

Chelsea can do it, Arsenal can do it too.

Once the script is rewritten, maybe you can become the protagonist of the story from now on.

The Champions League knockout groups were announced, and the showdown between Arsenal and Real Madrid immediately attracted the attention of the world.

At the end of the draw ceremony, the two old enemies, Ferguson and Wenger, got together for a rare occasion.

This time it was Sir Alex Ferguson who took the initiative to find the professor. In fact, a long time ago, Ferguson had tried to repair the relationship with the professor many times.

But the professor was very dissatisfied with Sir Alex Ferguson's domineering style and was unwilling to have anything to do with him.

But after so many years, the relationship between the two is not as bad as it was in the era of the two heroes competing for hegemony.

If the relationship between the two people is really incompatible, the professor will not be able to sell the Dutch striker to Manchester United.

The two people came together and chatted quietly for a while. Sir Alex patted the professor on the back, and the professor nodded with a slight smile.

The two people walked to the door of the conference room, and Mourinho, who had been waiting there, took the initiative to extend his hand to Wenger.

Wenger reached out and touched Mourinho, said a few polite words and left immediately.

Mourinho was not embarrassed at all. He turned around and chatted with Ferguson with a smile.

After walking out of the conference room, reporters immediately surrounded Wenger and asked him to share his views on the knockout round.

Wenger said with a serious face: "I'm not surprised. Arsenal always encounters the strongest teams."

"Theoretically we will draw eight teams, including Real Madrid, so I shouldn't be disappointed because it is a real possibility."

When asked if he was confident of beating Real Madrid, the professor said calmly: "We are first in the group and they are second in the group. Whether they are confident or not should be their question."

Not far away, Mourinho was also very calm: "Our goal is the championship, and the championship needs to defeat all opponents."

"Arsenal is just one of many opponents and I have no doubt about the quality of the players. We have the best players in the world."

"The players are confident that we can beat any opponent because we have the ability to beat them all."
