Unlike previous years, the draw for the Champions League quarterfinals knockout round left UEFA's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland for the first time, and was held at the venue for the Champions League final.

This time it is the Paris City Hall in France.

The lottery starts on time at 12 o'clock, and live broadcasts are held in the world.

At the Milanello training base in Milan, Italy, Kaka and AC Milan teammates also sat in front of the TV in the lounge to watch the live TV broadcast, caring about the opponents the team will meet next.

According to the draw rules, eight teams will be divided into two and a half zones this time. Unlimited draws will allow teams with the same national team to meet.

AC Milan's Galliani said in an interview with the media that the team they least want to meet is Inter Milan, but this team stopped in the quarterfinals and they are fearless.

As for Juventus, AC Milan is not very afraid.

Capello's team played a bit conservatively this season, with weak offensive ability, and the most important thing is excellent defense.

The double midfielder formed by Vieira and Emerson is really too luxurious. In addition, Capello's coaching style has always been stable, making Juventus not good-looking in both the league and the Champions League this season.

Capello's one-to-zeroism has been criticized by the outside world again, but it cannot withstand the stability of others.

AC Milan defeated Juventus three-to-one at home in the league and was not afraid of this team.

In addition to Serie A, what AC Milan is reluctant to encounter is Rijcalde's Barcelona, ​​which is the strongest attacking team in Europe this season. No one has to be afraid of three-pointers.

Apart from that, AC Milan is not afraid of any opponents!

Kaka sat among his teammates and did not participate in the discussions between his teammates, but she thought of Yang Yang in her mind.

Will Ajax be drawn?

This thought has been lingering in Kaka's mind.

AC Milan is indeed better than Ajax, but it is unlikely to say that it is a sure win.

...

The draw ceremony was held under the auspices of UEFA CEO Olsen. The main central defender Laurent Blanco, who won the World Cup in 1998, was the draw guest. Real Madrid legend Hento and last year's Champions League champion Liverpool captain Gerrard played the trophy and passed the trophy through Olsen to Paris Mayor Delano.

Starting today, the St. Berede Cup will be open for public exhibitions in Paris until final day.

Hento is one of the Real Madrid players to win the first Champions League and is also the only player in the world to win six Champions Leagues. So far, decades have passed, and no one has been able to reach his height.

Through the live TV camera, we can see that AC Milan's general manager Galliani is on the scene.

The draws of eight teams went very quickly.

The first matchup in the first half was the first matchup, with Benfica from the Portuguese Super League draws Barcelona in La Liga.

This signing made Barcelona representatives very excited. Everyone knows that it has basically announced that Barcelona has entered the semi-finals early.

With the strength of Rijkaard's team, Benfica could not have sniped them.

The first group in the second half of the area was drawn by Lyon against Villarrel.

This immediately caused a snorkel to gasp on the draw site and in front of the TV.

Four teams have come out, and the remaining four teams are Ajax, Arsenal, Juventus and AC Milan.

No matter how these four teams draw, they will be a strong showdown.

Among them, Ajax's overall strength is relatively weak, while Arsenal, Juventus and AC Milan will be relatively better.

After the ball that Blanco pulled out was opened, the third team in the upper half was Ajax.

DeTok Most, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Yang Yang did not take a nap like he usually did, but stayed in the rest area to watch the live broadcast.

He is also very concerned about the team's next opponent.

The moment Olson announced Ajax's name, he obviously felt a gasp in the rest area.

Everyone started to get nervous.

Theoretically, Ajax has the possibility of encountering Arsenal, but this may not be a good thing for the Dutch team.

Both sides played two games in the group stage, and neither of them performed well in the second game. The first game was Ajax's narrow victory at home, which seemed to have a certain advantage, but in fact, Arsenal would know Ajax better.

Juventus is very difficult to deal with, and the defense is excellent. There are two former Ajax players, Ibrahimovic and Trabelsey, in the team. If we look at the strength of the lineup, Ajax really has no advantage.

With the double midfielder formed by Vieira and Emerson, plus Nedved and Camoranesi, Ajax's midfielder will find it difficult to withstand the opponent, and he may be in a tough situation like last season.

But Yang Yang didn't mind meeting Juventus because he wanted to see if he had made any progress in the past year.

If you didn’t break Juventus’s iron wall a year ago, can you break it in a year?

However, what he wants to meet the most is AC Milan.

This team has a good midfield strength. Although the three midfielders composed of Seidorf, Pirlo and Gattuso have outstanding passing and ball control skills, they have considerable defense problems. In addition, there have been frequent problems in the back line recently, they are still one of the strongest teams in European football today.

The reason why Yang Yang wanted to meet AC Milan was because he still remembered the grudge two years ago and the challenge book he gave Kaka.

...

Looking at the TV screen, Blanco pulled another small ball, and the Ajax players were very nervous.

Yang Yang was a little nervous. After all, this draw was related to the team's future trend, but he still smiled calmly and comforted his teammates.

"Don't be nervous, no matter who the opponent is drawn, just fight!"

Hearing Yang Yang say this, his teammates also slightly relieved some of the burden.

Blanco unscrewed the ball and handed the note to Olson, who turned it over quickly.

"Ac Milan!"

There was a clear burst of exclamation in the venue.

In other words, there is no need to watch another match in the second half of the zone, Arsenal vs. Juventus.

The reason why we have to draw lots is to decide the home and away game.

Ajax touches AC Milan!

The long-awaited showdown of Yang Yang has finally come!

"Get what you want!" Yang Yang stood up and said harshly.

Sneider, Maxwell, De Jong and others also nodded.

As early as September, when Yang Yang invited everyone to dinner at Shenji Chinese Restaurant in Almere, he had already expressed his attitude and wanted to meet AC Milan, but Ajax and AC Milan were both the first in the group, so it was naturally impossible to meet.

And being able to meet the quarterfinals can be said to be lucky.

"It's been two years, and the grudge that two years ago has come to resolve it!" Yang Yang shouted loudly.

"That's right, I've been holding my breath for the past two years, and now I'm just going to get it back in one breath!" Sneider also shouted loudly.

According to the schedule, Ajax is the first to go and then to go, and relatively speaking, the schedule is more favorable.

But after all, the football game still depends on strength.

"Kaka, we finally met!" Yang Yang murmured to himself with his hands ready to rub his hands.

What he didn't know was that at the same time, Kaka was also full of expectations in the Milanello training base.

"Since you have encountered it, you can beat you down two years ago, and you can still bow your head in two years!"

As soon as the draw results of the quarterfinals knockout round was released, it immediately caused an uproar around the world.

The shady statement of lottery draws is once again noisy.

The reason is very simple. Ajax and AC Milan are both the teams with the most outstanding attack power in this Champions League.

In the AC Milan quarterfinals, the knockout stage was eliminated by Bayern Munich with a total home and away score of 5-2. This report card is not something that any team can do, because Bayern Munich is not inferior to other giants at all.

But the Ross and Blacks did not lose the away game, suppressed the game completely at home, and showed excellent ability to control the game.

However, the problem with the Red and Blacks is also very obvious, that is, defense.

Neither the defense line nor the goalkeeper Dida this season is satisfactory, especially Dida. After two seasons of perfect performance, the Brazilian goalkeeper's form has declined rapidly this season.

Another problem is that the left back, neither Sergio nor Jankulovsky, did not show reassuringly, and Nesta's partner also had hidden dangers, which also made people have doubts about AC Milan.

Ajax's resume is also excellent. He beat Arsenal in the group to qualify and defeated Real Madrid in two rounds four-one in the quarterfinals. This is also the most eye-catching result in the Champions League this season, especially the hat trick of young player Yang Yang, who is even more dazzling.

But interestingly, Ajax's problem also lies in the defensive end.

Shevchenko and Yang Yang are currently leading the Champions League scorer list with eight goals. Both of the leading scorers are in excellent condition, and the defense of both teams has weaknesses and shortcomings, which has also led many people to say that this will be a highlight duel.

But according to comprehensive evaluation, AC Milan is better and there is no suspense to win.

After attending the draw ceremony in Paris, Galliani said in an interview with the media on the spot, "Ajax is not an easy team to deal with. They have excellent players, a top European scorer, and an experienced head coach, which makes this team not easy to deal with."

"But we are still very confident that we can beat our opponents and advance to the semi-finals."

The general manager of AC Milan then said that compared with the quarterfinals knockout stage, he was more worried about the semi-finals.

"We were assigned to the top half of the league. After entering the semi-finals, we will meet Barcelona. This will obviously be our biggest test, because Barcelona is currently the top favorite team in the Champions League."

Dutch domestic media expressed dissatisfaction with Galliani's statement, believing that Galliani lacked respect for Ajax and that he had already begun to look forward to the semi-finals before the quarterfinals were eliminating.

Ajax head coach Ronald Koeman made it clear in an interview with the media, "We are indeed not a strong European team, but we are definitely not a weak team at the mercy of others."

Yang Yang was also in the 28th round of the Eredivisie, the day before he played against Eindhoven at home, and was interviewed by the media according to the club's arrangements.
