What is a destructive midfielder?

Chapter 291 The results of the top 16 matchups are announced (daily transition)

The incident of Barcelona being eliminated from the Champions League group stage continues to ferment.

Relevant institutions pointed out: Not only the Champions League bonus and the Champions League broadcast share, but also the club's various incomes will drop significantly.

The subsequent Champions League ticket revenue, the advertising revenue of the Nou Camp Champions League home stadium, and the additional terms and tiered bonuses of brand owners are all gone.

Reputation damaged.

Commercial value has shrunk significantly.

The value of some stars in the transfer market has fallen to a low point.

Fans have joked on the online platform: If the Champions League faces Li Kang again in the next few years, will Barcelona be kicked out of business?

On the other hand, Arsenal won more than just a game.

Li Kang, who was in the battle of the gods, has become a new synonym for traffic.

Barcelona meeting room.

The club's top executives launched a heated discussion.

"Enrique can't leave. There is nothing wrong with his reform direction. We must give him more time and see the advantages of a person. Enrique likes to interact with fans on the Internet!"

"He has perfected Barcelona's set-piece tactics!"

"We need to give him more time. Tactical reforms cannot be abandoned halfway!"

Two hours later.

Barcelona's official website released a message: "Goodbye! Enrique bids farewell to Camp Nou."

The formation in the comment area is extremely unified.

"Two hundred million and one million."

The next day.

Compared to Barcelona's turbulent situation, the Kearney training base is as calm as ever.

The 7:1 victory seems to have magic. The physical and mental conditions of the injured are still good. Many people have returned to the green field and are doing simple recovery training.

After Li Kang finished training, he was pulled by Maguire to talk about the final battle of the half.

Old Ma also took out an estimated starting lineup.

"Lee, you don't have to clean up my mess next game."

"I can defend this guy named Lukaku by myself!"

"To me, he is not as threatening as Benteke from Crystal Palace."

"He is 1.92 meters tall and weighs only 180! He is afraid of confrontation! He only dares to bully the full-backs! What kind of little monster is this? Well, where should you point your finger? Do you mean to pay attention to this kid named Barkley? I have dealt with him! Don't worry about the defense line."

Mertesacker and Koscielny will not recover from their injuries so quickly. Maguire, who has won the starting position, is very positive in his preparations.

But before they finished speaking, their communication was interrupted by Boulder's shouting.

"Lee, get ready to change clothes!"

"We are leaving!"

Nyon, Switzerland.

The media reporters set up their cameras.

The security personnel lined up in two rows and stood outside the cordon, ready for battle.

Several commercial vehicles with the Champions League logo came rushing in!

The crowd began to riot!

"Lee!!!"

"Messi!!!"

Many tourists who came here for the game didn't even realize that Barcelona was eliminated.

The security guards were extremely alert.

The business car stopped at the entrance of UEFA headquarters.

Sarri and Jorginho got out of the car and stepped slowly onto the carpet.

The Napoli master and apprentice don't seem to be very well-known. The originally restless crowd instantly calmed down, and even the cameras became lazy.

However.

A small number of fans still applauded.

Since Sarri took over Napoli, European football has added a radical team that is good at "vertical strikes"!

Neutral fans will be obsessed with the Lightning Army's Death Three Smalls.

Our own fans will be disgusted with Jorginho's ball passing speed.

"Lee! It's Lee!"

In the lobby.

Jorginho excitedly rushed to Li Kang.

While gesturing with his fingers, he spoke in rapid succession.

"Li, I often watch your games!"

"Van Gaal called me last season! He said I might have a chance to form a new midfield partner with you"

"He said you are the most suitable person to assist me in passing the ball. The new generation of Pirlo and Gattuso, did Van Gaal tell you?"

He was so excited that he was about to say something more, but was interrupted by his own coach.

"Pay attention to social propriety and don't disturb Li!"

"I don't want to draw Arsenal in the round of 16."

Everyone laughed.

The Naples coach was not as serious as before, but smiled at Li Kang and led Jorginho away.

Wenger looked at the other side's back and shook his head with a smile.

He stayed up late to study the basic tactical framework of all opponents in the Champions League round of 16.

This season's Naples can still threaten Juventus' dominance in Serie A.

Arsenal is not afraid of the opponent's vertical offensive system, but after two rounds of kicking, it will definitely be skinned. If they can draw an opponent with the style of Monchengladbach, it will be much easier.

The receptionist came forward warmly.

He led the Arsenal team to the venue.

The draw rules for the round of 16 are briefly summarized as follows:

1. The first team in the group will play against the second team in the group;

For example, Arsenal will not be drawn against Napoli, which is also the first team in the group.

2. Teams in the same group and association will not meet;

For example, Arsenal will not encounter Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, which are also in the Premier League, nor will they encounter Monaco in the same group.

3. Home and away double-round elimination system.

For example, if Arsenal are drawn against Bayern Munich, they will play one round at the Allianz Arena and then another round at the Emirates Stadium. If the total scores of the two rounds are tied, then the number of away goals will be calculated. If the number of away goals is tied, then the number of away goals will be calculated. If the winner cannot be decided in overtime, it will be a penalty shootout in the end.

Enter the venue.

Wenger and Li Kang made a "CALL" gesture and immediately walked to the club representatives' seat.

Li Kang took the number plate and found his seat.

First row again.

There are Buffon and Ronaldo next to him again!

"Li, long time no see."

"You know? Juventus fans like you very much and often leave messages on my social media account asking about the possibility of you joining. I replied that I might not be able to wait for that day!"

"Haha, just kidding."

Buffon smiled kindly, stood up and patted Li Kang on the shoulder.

When Cristiano Ronaldo heard these words, he couldn't help but smile, but when he felt the two eyes looking at him, he immediately became serious.

snort.

He has not forgotten the European Cup final.

A simple nod is considered a greeting.

Buffon smiled and said: "Li, he was not so stingy before."

Ronaldo almost failed to maintain his stern expression

But.

I couldn't see Messi on this occasion.

He felt empty in his heart, as if something was missing.

More and more people are entering.

Li Kang saw many familiar faces: Reus, Calhanoglu, Mbappe, Muller, Pjanic. There were also many famous coaches in the club’s representative seats. Teacher Top was still chattering as always.

The Champions League theme song suddenly stopped.

The emcee Pedro Pinto wore a pink suit and walked onto the main stage with small steps!

Jiligulu said a set of lines.

The words in the scene made everyone feel sleepy, and the scattered applause seemed to urge him to shut up quickly.

After a long time.

The lights dimmed.

Several staff members carried two large tables and quickly set up the place.

When the lights come back on.

A young woman slowly walked towards the main stage holding two transparent glass jars, each containing 8 mini footballs.

Li Kang thought she looked familiar.

It's Eisley again!

Buffon covered his mouth and said with a wicked smile: "This little girl will definitely peek at you again this year!"

Li Kang nodded seriously.

Just as the Juventus goalkeeper expected: Eisley put down the glass jar, quietly glanced at the players' bench, then his cheeks turned red, he bowed his head and smiled and left the side stage.

Immediately afterwards.

Two senior officials from UEFA took the stage and spoke for a long time.

It's like a lullaby.

Make everyone sleepy.

After a long time.

Two tall and burly figures appeared on the main stage, breaking the dullness and bringing the atmosphere of the lottery ceremony to its climax!

Thunderous applause!

Drogba!

Henry!

The two of them were the guests at this Champions League top 16 draw ceremony!

"The drawing ceremony is about to begin!"

Coach's seat.

Old Man Top couldn't help but become nervous, adjusted his sitting posture a few times, and then stared at the Benfica coach!

The Benfica coach's mouth twitched: Does Leverkusen think that they are the soft eggplant in the first place in the group? Do you think I'm useful? Can you draw Benfica just by looking at me?

Pochettino looked solemn.

Tuchel remained calm.

Wenger's smile is brighter than in previous years.

Guardiola kept writing and drawing on the scratch paper and stayed out of it.

Simeone is eager to try.

Ancelotti crossed his hands on his chest, giving the impression that it would be the same for anyone he slapped just because he was going through the motions!

Zidane didn't seem to be looking forward to the draw.

The Real Madrid coach always looks towards the players' bench from time to time.

The drawing ceremony officially begins.

Drogba will never dawdle.

His strong arms reached out and grabbed a fragile ball.

Bang.

It accidentally broke!

The scene burst into laughter.

Drogba scratched his head in embarrassment, then unfolded the note inside and pointed it at the camera.

"Atletico!"

the other side.

Henry took out a small ball.

"Gladbach!"

"The first match result is out: Atletico Madrid and Borussia Mönchengladbach!"

Studio.

Barrage flying.

[I expect an upset in this game! 】

[Can you let me watch the Champions League: Bayern VS Borussia Mönchengladbach! 】

[It is impossible to be upset, Atletico Madrid was the Champions League runner-up last season! 】

Henry's mood was a little complicated.

He and Wenger are like father and son, and together they created the myth of being undefeated in the Premier League.

Although he often criticizes Wenger on TV,

But I still hope that Arsenal’s Champions League journey will be less difficult.

This year, no matter what, I have to draw a damn, why do these second placers look so arrogant?

As the mini footballs were broken apart one by one.

The results of the Champions League round of 16 matches have been released one by one.

"Benfica vs. Napoli!"

"Manchester City vs. Monaco!"

"Leicester City vs. Lyon!"

at this time.

Old Man Top frowned.

The weak persimmons have been pinched.

The remaining opponents are all tough.

When the fifth draw result comes out.

The whole place was in an uproar.

"Real Madrid vs. Paris Saint-Germain!"

Emery strives to maintain his famous handsomeness.

Zidane smiled and shook his head.

[Is UEFA trying to get rid of Real Madrid this year? 】

[Just kidding, Paris cannot stop Real Madrid. 】

[Mars hits the Earth! The quality game of the Champions League semi-finals is staged in advance! 】

[A small meteorite hits the earth, and Paris has no chance of winning the Champions League. Real Madrid’s lineup is now the only one in Europe and has a high probability of defending the Champions League. 】

[I also want to watch Li Mingdeng fight Di Maria, Cavani, Verratti, and Thiago Silva! Hope in vain! 】

[It seems Arsenal will still draw Bayern. 】

[Is there any inside story about the Champions League draw? 】

The drawing ceremony did not stop for long.

Drogba continues to break the ball.

"Leverkusen!"

Henry's heart skipped a beat.

He looked at Wenger from a distance.

The pilot shot happened to give a close-up of two people.

The King of Highbury took a deep breath, took out the ball decisively, and broke it open with all his strength!

"Arsenal!"

"The result of the sixth match is out!"

"Leverkusen vs Arsenal!"

The whole place was in an uproar.

Mr. 200 Million will return to North Rhine so soon?

Henry was overjoyed.

Old Man Top was stunned and instantly became paralyzed.

Studio.

Barrage flying.

[Beautiful, Henry! 】

[Okay, Arsenal has been suffering for so many years, and they can finally walk out to the top eight! 】

[Who doesn’t eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year? 】

[It’s hard to say, Leverkusen spent so much money in the summer window, if Balotelli can perform normally. 】

[I don’t know how Li Kang feels about facing his old club. 】

【How can you feel? It’s impossible to let go of water! Even if Leonardo DiCaprio comes on the bench, it will be difficult for Arsenal to overturn. 】

[Looking forward to Li Kang’s return to North Rhine for his superb performance. 】

[The place where dreams begin. 】

Players' bench.

Li Kang's expression was calm.

Calhanoglu looked helpless.

Apart from Bayern, which group wants to draw Arsenal second?

Who doesn't know that they are now the team with the strongest offensive firepower in the Champions League!

Main stage.

Drogba displays a new note.

"Juventus!"

Henry cheered up and took it hard!

Snapped!

"Dortmund!"

"The result of the seventh match is out!"

The result of the last matchup was no doubt in doubt.

Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich.

Just distinguish the order of home and away games, and the balls must be broken according to the process.

The draw ceremony for the Champions League round of 16 has ended.

The coaches of each club were surrounded by reporters.

An English reporter asked: "Mr. Top, are you satisfied with the result of Leverkusen's draw this time?"

What's the problem?

Old Man Top wanted to curse.

He straightened his suit and held his head high: "I very much hope that Li can return to North Rhine, but not as an opponent. He will always be my pride."

A pun.

The wise and humorous answer won applause from the audience.

Winning or losing is another matter, but maintain your grace.

at the same time.

Arsenal is also surrounded by a lot of media.

"Mr. Arsène, can Arsenal break the curse of stopping in the top 16 this season?"

"Does Li have a girlfriend?"

"Can Arsenal, with many wounded soldiers, resist the dark horses of North Rhine?"

"."

Wenger patiently answered all kinds of messy questions.

"Leverkusen cannot be described as a dark horse. Judging from the current lineup, they have the strength to challenge any giant."

"Don't worry, Arsenal's injury wave will ease soon."
