Chapter 524 The second most eye-catching game in the quarterfinals of the Champions League

Leiden Oriental defeated Leverkusen without bloodshed at home. Jin Kraze, who had been away from the court for more than two years, came on as a substitute in the second half and performed well, which brought unexpected surprises to Leiden Oriental fans, which also allowed Leiden Oriental to sweep away the shadow of being led by Chelsea by four points before and began to gain greater confidence in the next game.

Compared with Leiden Oriental's relatively easy entry into the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the performance of the other three Premier League teams was ups and downs, with joy and sorrow.

Chelsea beat Barcelona four-two in a classic fast attack at home, and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 5-4 in two rounds, while Manchester United lost 0-1 away again. The goals in both games were scored by Crespo, who was loaned to AC Milan. The Argentine seemed to be using this method to prove to Chelsea that he is not unfit for the Premier League, while Arsenal was more unfair. They defeated Bayern 1-0 with Henry's goal at home, but still scored one less goal and were eliminated in the Champions League. The two teams that bit tightly in the league performed equally well in the Champions League. For Manchester United and Arsenal, after being eliminated from the Champions League, they may have some chances to make up for the gap with the top two in the league.

The quarterfinals of the Champions League have become the world of the six major leagues - all the three top three in the Serie A are here, the Premier League is the two upstarts Leiden Oriental and Chelsea, the Bundesliga is Bayern, and Ligue 1 Lyon and Eindhoven of the Dutch Eredivisie have formed all the quarterfinals this season.

There is a last draw before the quarterfinals, and the semi-finals match situation will be decided based on the first and second half of the zones.

The location of this draw was held in Nyon, which is much deserted compared to the group stage draw - after all, there are only eight teams who can enter the quarterfinals.

Leiden Oriental's head coach Xiao Ming, Chelsea's head coach Jose Mourinho, AC Milan's head coach Carlo Ancelotti, Inter Milan's head coach Robert Mancini, Juventus' head coach Fabio Capello, Bayern's head coach Felix Magat, Lyon's head coach Paul Leguen, and Eindhoven's head coach Hiddink.

Among these eight head coaches, except Hiddink and Capello who were born in 46, Magath was born in 53, and was over fifty years old, the other head coaches are all young coaches - Ancelotti is the oldest, only forty-five years old, Mourinho is 42 years old this year, Mancini and Leguen are both less than forty-one, and Xiao Ming is only 35 years old - young people are surrounding the old guys, and they have shown more and more obvious in recent seasons.

After entering the quarterfinals, the rule of "avoiding the same league team" will no longer exist, which has also attracted countless people to draw the quarterfinals. Whether it is the derby of the two Milan heroes, Leiden Oriental and Chelsea from the league to the Champions League, it is enough to attract everyone's attention.

Even if Leiden Oriental plays against any Serie A team, it will be a compelling game. Two seasons ago, Leiden Oriental defeated Juventus and Inter Milan in the Champions League knockout stage, and finally lost to AC Milan in the final. The five games were shocking. This time, not only Xiao Ming had the opportunity to seek revenge on Ancelotti, but Capello and Mancini also had the opportunity to seek revenge on Xiao Ming - these two Italian local coaches who have coached Rome and both suffered the losses of Xiao Ming. Now they have shotguns and are leading giants like Juventus and Inter Milan. Of course, they want to give Xiao Ming a good look.

However, when meeting on site, everyone still seemed polite - when they were murderous, they had to wait until the official meeting.

Perhaps one person is an exception - Bayern head coach Magath, this hot-tempered old man, looked like he ignored everyone he saw. In the past four seasons, he built Stuttgart's youth team into a strong team and then took over Bayern - this is his first time coaching a team of Bayern. After taking over Bayern, he immediately used an iron fist to make Bayern's "Hollywood stars" complain, but none of them dared to say anything more.

However, perhaps it is this method that has enabled Bayern to perform well in the league this season, winning consecutively, and the players' physical fitness has also been much stronger. They often scored big scores in the game, and now ranks first in the standings, surpassing Schalke Zero-4, who is the most threatening to Bayern in recent years - still in the case of being distracted from the Champions League game.

This draw ceremony is obviously much simpler than the group draw in group games. After all, there are only eight teams - but those who stay are all elites, there is no doubt about this.

After a few words of greetings to the head coaches, Johnson, who walked out tremblingly, announced the start of the lottery ceremony, and the reporters at the scene also began to become nervous.

The person in charge of the lottery draw this time was Dutch celebrity Cruyff, and the first person he drew was one of his acquaintances...

"The first game in the first half of the first half of the game, Chelsea, the team that played at home first." The emcee next to him announced.

Mourinho frowned. The first game in the first half of the first game in the first game in the first game of the first game, playing at home, is not a good choice.

After entering the quarterfinals, the order of home and away games also depends on lottery draws. As the first game in the first half of the first half, the team also played home games first after entering the semi-finals, which is not favorable.

Xiao Ming touched his chin. If the next four teams that played at home first did not have their own teams, then Leiden East would probably face Chelsea...

Just when he was thinking this way, Cruyff had already drawn the team to play at home in the second game of the first half.

"In the second game in the first half, the team that played at home first - Leiden East." The emcee continued his work.

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment - first of all, will the home game? Mourinho can't be seen in the quarterfinals, but if Leiden Oriental and Chelsea win, they will encounter the semi-finals...

Just when Xiao Ming looked at Mourinho, he found that Mourinho was also looking at him. In that eyes, he had fighting spirit and even more excited...

However, it is no wonder that Chelsea is invincible in the league and European courts this season, but lost to Leiden Oriental at home in the league, breaking its unbeaten home and unbeaten record this season. Although it has led Leiden Oriental by a quarter in the league, Leiden Oriental is still their biggest threat to the league.

Xiao Ming believed that if he was Mourinho, he would definitely be resentful of him.

After such a break, Xiao Ming did not notice the situation in the second half of the area, but there were signs on the scene. He looked at it and the first ones to play at home in the second half of the area were Lyon and AC Milan.

"Four good-lived guys." Xiao Ming curled his lips and played away first, which is indeed a bit more advantageous.

"The team that plays away." The emcee announced that this is the most tense time, and the suspense will be revealed one by one.

"The first game in the first half of the first game, Juventus, the team that played away first."

Capello was stunned, then turned to look at Mourinho, then lowered his head, not knowing what he was calculating.

Because he expressed dissatisfaction with Swedish referee Frisk after the first round of the quarterfinals and suspected that Rijkaard entered the referee's locker room during the break, Mourinho was still suspended for two games despite commanding the second round of the game on the sidelines, which means that Mourinho was unable to command on the spot in both games against Juventus, which is also a good news for Juventus.

Xiao Ming shook his head. It was a pity that Leiden East had met Chelsea - fucking fair competition, who made Mourinho banned? Taking advantage of his illness to kill him is the bottom line. Unfortunately, Capello seems to have good luck...

After regretting for a while, Xiao Ming began to stare at Cruyff. He wanted to see what kind of opponent this Dutch flyman would draw for him - Chelsea is impossible, Juventus is impossible, is it Inter Milan or Bayern? It won't be so lucky, is it Eindhoven? Although Hiddink is also a very magical guy, Eindhoven's current strength is indeed not particularly outstanding.

At this time, Cruyff had already drawn the final result - Xiao Qing was not so lucky. As soon as this result was drawn, he immediately felt a pair of small eyes flashing with cold light staring at him...

"The second game in the first half of the game, Bayern Munich, the team that played away first." The emcee said calmly.

Xiao Ming sighed in his heart, then turned to look, and sure enough, he saw Magath's small eyes hiding behind the lenses looking at him with flickering eyes.

"You have small eyes and big noses, and you still look at people so arrogantly."

Xiao Ming complained about Magath in his heart, then stretched his body and said in a small voice: "I met Serie A teams two years ago, and I started to meet Bundesliga teams this year... It's a pity that there are not three teams in the Bundesliga for me."

Although his voice was not loud, basically everyone on the scene heard it. Magath was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Ming even more furiously, and snorted heavily. Mourinho laughed and then turned his face. Although Mancini and Ancelotti were worried, they couldn't help but laugh.

Chelsea vs. Juventus, Leighton vs. Bayern, such a match is enough to attract everyone's attention, not to mention that these two games can be regarded as a comprehensive competition between the old coach and the new coach. In the next two games, Eindhoven vs. Lyon is also a match between Hiddink, the old coach, Leguen, the new coach, and the last match was to push the draw to a climax - the contest between two former Italian internationals, the first Milan derby in the European Champions League!

As soon as the result of this match came out, all the coaches knew that the focus of this quarter-finals was that no one could suppress the glory of the Milan Derby.

This should be the second time in history, but because Inter Milan met Leiden East in the semi-finals two years ago instead of AC Milan like in history, the significance of this game is extraordinary.

The first encounter between these two mortal enemies in the Champions League in a century can cover everything.

When the Champions League quarter-finals match result came out, the whole of Europe was discussing the significance of the first appearance of the Milan derby in the European arena: "If Meazza San Siro Stadium had life, it might be trembling with excitement and tears of emotion. After countless derby collisions, two great Italian Milan teams ushered in the first European derby in their history. When this game began, Meazza San Siro Stadium would become the hottest place on the planet."

Milan Sports News reported the results of this draw in extremely sensational words, which was enough to shame Ni Ping to kill Zhu Jun and instantly kill Zhu Jun. However, it is obvious that for Ancelotti and Mancini, this is the situation they least want to see. After all, they meet in the Champions League with their mortal enemies in the city, which is rare.

Xiao Ming did not feel jealous of this, because the four quarterfinals were held in two days, and the Milan derby started at the same time was a contest between Chelsea and Juventus. The match between Leiden Oriental and Bayern was on the second day. Considering that except for the Milan derby, this game was the most eye-catching and attention-catching quarterfinals, UEFA made this decision. On that day, the confrontation between Lyon and Eindhoven was not as eye-catching as this game.

In fact, Xiao Ming was not angry about encountering strong teams and meeting death groups in European courts, but was still very happy - for Leiden Oriental, which has no foundation in Europe, what can attract more attention than defeating strong teams in succession to win championships? If it weren't for the two years that encountered and defeated AC Milan, Lazio, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Bayern and won two Champions League titles and one Cup winner's championship, how could Leiden Oriental's reputation in the world continue to rise like the Rockets?

After winning four consecutive league championships, Xiao Ming began to pay more attention to the Champions League matches. It was a bit unsatisfactory to play Leverkusen in the quarterfinals. Bayern is the best opponent, and that guy, Xiao Ming, has been disliked by him for a long time...

In fact, the first time I learned about Magath's name was because of the Chinese player Yang Chen in his previous life. Although Xiao Ming had an American passport in his previous life, Chinese people overseas still paid great attention to China. Xiao Ming was a fan for a long time, so he was very concerned about Yang Chen, who made a name in Europe. Because he was a pure fan at the time, he was also dissatisfied with Magath not using Yang Chen much. Although he later understood Magath's actions to a large extent after becoming the head coach, the first impression of people is difficult to change, so he has no good impression of Magath.

In fact, as a head coach, whether it is gentle or iron-fisted, it is normal. The key is whether you can win over people's hearts and support you. Magath is a very outstanding coach, but his tense approach makes it difficult for him to do a long time in every team. Except for Stuttgart, which is mainly young and obedient players, he has not coached for more than three years in other teams. In Hamburg, Frankfurt and Bayern both suffered the fate of being dismissed in the middle of the class. Among them, Hamburg was a meritorious figure who played for ten years when he was a player and won three Bundesliga championships, three Bundesliga runners-up, one Champions League champion, one Champions League runner-up and one Champions League champion. This was all just coached for one and a half seasons before being dismissed in the middle of the class. It shows how unpopular he is.

His coaching is often like this - in the first season, he used a lot of devil training to make players' physical fitness grow rapidly and then achieved good results. Because he is a new coach, the players dare not act rashly. In the second and third seasons, the players began to be dissatisfied with his training method, offended almost all the players and were kicked out of class - in fact, his approach is not wrong, because he runs at the forefront in every training, and his proudest thing is his physical fitness that is not worse than that of a young man. However, using rough means to control in the locker room will often backfire.

What's more, Magath was so unfriendly to Xiao Ming at this lottery ceremony, so Xiao Ming naturally disliked this head coach with small eyes and big nose...

"Let you pretend in front of me, and then you will be beaten so hard that even your mother will not recognize you."

Xiao Ming thought so in his heart.

Before the Champions League quarterfinals, Leiden East still has two league games and one FA Cup game to play. Xiao Ming didn't care about the FA Cup, but the league had to be concerned - however, there were still national team games to make trouble during this period, and Xiao Ming didn't even bother to prepare for the way to deal with Magath.

The league's home game against Norwich, away game against Liverpool, especially Liverpool, may be very difficult. After all, three days after the game, Leiden Oriental will welcome Bayern at home...

Manchester United and Arsenal have played. In the next league, Leiden Oriental will only have Liverpool and Chelsea. In addition to playing Leiden Oriental away, Chelsea also has to face Manchester United and Liverpool in a row. Leiden Oriental is now four points behind Chelsea, and there is still a chance. Of course, the premise is that it cannot fall off Liverpool, and at the same time, it must defeat Chelsea at home to win the league championship.

In the next two months, it will determine whether Leiden Oriental can continue its consecutive league championships and its results in the Champions League.
