tenth

Benitez was also troubled by these things. Seeing that the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League was about to be held, Benitez flew to UEFA with members of his coaching staff and club officials.

headquarters to attend the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of this season’s UEFA Champions League.

The draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League was held in Nyon, Switzerland, the headquarters of UEFA. Of course, Benitez did not dare to delay and flew directly to Switzerland.

The teams entering the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League this season are Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal from the Premier League, Barcelona and Villarreal from La Liga, Porto from Portugal, and Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga.

Yes, Premier League teams still occupy four seats in the top eight of the UEFA Champions League this season. This is the third consecutive season that the Premier League has occupied four seats in the top eight of the Champions League. The rise of the Premier League is already obvious.

They seem to have become the number one league in European football.

Before the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, the media in England were very excited. The top four of the Premier League made them very proud. Now they all regard themselves as the first league in Europe, and they are all in front of reporters from other countries.

Full of air, Beier has face.

To be honest, the Premier League is indeed ahead of other leagues now. A large number of stars are now pouring into the Premier League, which explains everything. This is also something that people in other countries’ leagues admit. The Premier League is indeed developing very fast now.

good.

Spain still occupies two of the top eight in the UEFA Champions League this season, which is not much different from before. Usually in La Liga, only Real Madrid and Barcelona can earn some points for them. However, the only difference in recent years is that

, Real Madrid, which was supposed to advance to the quarter-finals, did not enter. Instead, Villarreal, who was not optimistic, suddenly emerged and entered the quarter-finals, helping Real Madrid bear what they should bear.

To be honest, it is really surprising that Villarreal can enter the quarterfinals this year. However, this is because they have good signings and good luck. Their strength among the top eight teams is definitely at the bottom, so they can enter the quarterfinals.

Being strong is already their limit. Now, they have become the weaklings in everyone's eyes, and everyone hopes to win them in the lottery.

This season, only one Bundesliga team occupies one of the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League. This result will not be a regret or a surprise for the Bundesliga. This is often the case. Only Bayern Munich can earn a little bit for them in the Bundesliga.

Just scores.

This season, the top eight Chinese and Portuguese Super League teams in the UEFA Champions League will occupy a seat, which is in line with common sense. In the UEFA Champions League in recent years, there have always been teams from the Portuguese Super League that can occupy a seat, which is not surprising to everyone.

Anticipate.

The only thing that shocked everyone was that when the UEFA Champions League entered the quarterfinals this season, all the teams in Serie A and Ligue 1 were wiped out.

It is undoubtedly the coldest winter.

Now that the top eight teams of the UEFA Champions League have been formed, what everyone is most concerned about now is the matchup of the final eight.

Among the top eight teams, the weaker ones are Villarreal from La Liga and Porto from the Portuguese Super League. Both of these teams are popular in everyone's eyes, and everyone wants to draw these two teams.

.Liverpool’s head coach Benitez certainly hopes to draw either of these two teams.

However, in this lottery ceremony, there is no longer the principle of avoiding teams from the same group as the Football Association and the same group. Therefore, at this time, the Premier League team has the possibility of drawing the Premier League team, and the chance is very high, because eight

Half of them are Premier League teams.

In fact, at this time, English media reporters and fans hope that the principle of avoiding teams under the same Football Association will be adopted during this draw. In this case, it is very likely that the Premier League teams can win the European championship.

The top four in the league.

However, now they still have this possibility, but they have to pray now and hope that the Premier League team does not draw the Premier League team.

The head coach who came to Nyon, Switzerland this time became the head coach of the top eight team. When he came to the scene, Liverpool head coach Benitez and Manchester United head coach Alex Ferguson bumped into each other.

The two are now mortal enemies.

Last season, Liverpool not only snatched the Premier League title from Manchester United at the last minute, but also snatched the UEFA Champions League title from Manchester United. Moreover, this season, Liverpool is undoubtedly Manchester United's most powerful team.

Competitors, the relationship between the two is really a bitter rivalry.

However, the two of them were quite friendly when they met, and they were still talking and laughing. This made the reporters at the scene a little surprised. What happened between the two of them? The two of them could be like this——

Respect each other as guests?

In fact, it was nothing. They were just ordinary greetings. Of course, Sir Alex Ferguson shamelessly asked Rafael Benitez how much Qiu Ze could be sold for. This made Benitez.

Nitus was shocked. It turned out that this old guy had not given up on Qiu Ze.

Yes, the current head coach of Manchester United, Alex Ferguson, has no intention of giving up on Qiu Ze. Because now Cristiano Ronaldo is very close to Real Madrid, and Alex Ferguson was able to win last season.

If you retain Cristiano Ronaldo at that time, you may not be able to retain Cristiano Ronaldo this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo's move will definitely have a great impact on Manchester United. He hopes to introduce Qiu Ze to fill the gap left by Cristiano Ronaldo. Moreover, he firmly believes that Qiu Ze can definitely be better than Cristiano Ronaldo.

?Ronaldo did better.

Unfortunately, Rafael Benitez rejected Alex Ferguson and asked how to sell Wayne Rooney?

As soon as this guy Alex Ferguson smiled bitterly, he knew that this would be the result. It seemed that the only way to keep Cristiano Ronaldo was to find a way.

Soon, the head coaches and entourage of each team arrived. The draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League officially began. First, the host came up to open the game, and then let the UEFA officials speak.

After finishing the conversation, the draw ceremony for this season's UEFA Champions League quarter-finals officially began.

The guest invited by UEFA to the draw ceremony this time is Portuguese star Rui Costa, who retired last season. Rui Costa was also very excited to receive this invitation. He walked away with great excitement.

Got on stage and was about to start drawing lots.

The biggest rule of this draw is that there are no rules, that is, there will be no avoidance of teams in the same football group. Any two teams have the possibility of meeting.

At this time, the draw will be divided into two halves, upper and lower. After that, the UEFA Champions League will not draw lots again. At the end of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, the semi-finals will be played.

It happened, teams in the same half of the zone were fighting each other.

Next, Rui Costa will draw the top four teams. First of all, Rui Costa will draw the first team in the top half. The scene is not too nervous because who will qualify?

The position doesn't matter.

Rui Costa took out a ball from the glass jar, unscrewed it, and then slowly opened the small piece of paper folded inside, and then displayed it in front of the public - Villarreal.

Then came the second draw, which was the first team in the bottom half. Rui Costa repeated the above steps, opened the white piece of paper, and showed everyone - Liverpool.

Seeing this, Rafael Benitez frowned slightly. At this moment, he lost the chance to play against Villarreal, a relatively weak team. Benitez felt worried in his heart.

Some regrets. However, there was still Porto ahead, and he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

As we went to the back, the atmosphere became more tense. At this time, Rui Costa drew the third team, which was the second team in the top half - Manchester United.

Alex Ferguson and Rafael Benitez both exhaled at the same time. They seemed to be grateful that the two teams did not meet in advance.

Yes, before the draw, there were rumors in the outside media that Manchester United was likely to draw Liverpool because the two teams were opponents in last season's European Championship final. According to UEFA's usual practice of attracting people's attention, they are very likely to win.

Maybe it's to allow the two teams to meet in advance.

This comment made both Rafael Benitez and Alex Ferguson very nervous. Fortunately, there is no need for it now, as the two teams did not meet in advance.

Next, Rui Costa drew the fourth team, which is the second team in the bottom half-Barcelona.

The head coaches of the previous three teams breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they didn't encounter Barcelona.

The next step is the most nervous moment, because the next match is about to be drawn. Now the head coach of Villarreal and the head coaches of other teams that have not been drawn out are starting to get nervous. In fact, at this time

Villarreal's head coach most hopes to draw the Porto team, because their chances of being drawn against Porto are much greater.

Rui Costa put his hand into the glass jar at this time and began to extract the ball. The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense, and everyone was paying attention to all this. Rui Costa immediately took out a ball from it

Come, then unscrew and unfold the white paper - Arsenal.

Suddenly, Villarreal's head coach Pellegrini's face turned livid, while Arsenal's head coach Wenger showed a relieved smile. This was definitely a sign. Wenger saw

A chance to advance to the European semi-finals.

The other head coaches were lamenting Wenger's good luck, while Benitez and others looked extremely envious. Why did this guy get drawn by Villarreal? There are also Benitez and

Alex Ferguson breathed a sigh of relief. Their chances of winning the Premier League team suddenly became smaller.

Without giving everyone much time, Rui Costa's hand reached into the fiberglass and he was about to pull out Liverpool's opponent. Benitez immediately became nervous, and the fans in front of the TV were also nervous. Qiu

Ze, Fernando Torres and others were also very nervous.
