Back in Manchester, the Premier League made a comeback, and Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City won again.

In the middle of the week, the League Cup final between Manchester United and Chelsea has arrived. The third collision of the season was the Community Shield Cup, Manchester United won the penalty shootout, and the second time was at Old Trafford. Manchester United beat Chelsea 4-2 and successfully chased three-pointers.

This time, it is the competition for the League Cup championship.

Chelsea obviously cares about this trophy. All the main players have played, and the same is true for Manchester United. Both sides want to win the championship, even if it is one of the most useless events.

At Wembley Stadium, Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo led the team to play again.

But luck no longer belongs to Manchester United this time. Mourinho prepared enough for this game and seized Manchester United's defense weakness to formulate tactics. The 433 formation was successful, and Manchester United's defense in the middle was once again problematic.

He defeated Manchester United 3:2 in regular time and won the first championship of the season. During the game, Ronaldo scored twice, and Hazard added icing on the cake. On Manchester United, Dong Fangzhuo and Mbappe each scored one goal, and Mbappe also lost two single shots.

Manchester United's seven-champion title was shattered and mocked by the entire English media, saying that Dong Fangzhuo was talking big before the season. When the European champion also failed again, the myth of Dong Fangzhuo's unbeaten in the final was broken.

However, there is a team that has no choice, that is Barcelona. Barcelona, ​​who is visiting Old Trafford in the second leg of the Champions League, failed to turn the tables. Although Neymar performed well, Barcelona also had big problems in the backcourt, and there were huge loopholes in the defense. Barcelona was not Chelsea after all, and Enrique was not Mourinho. There was still a gap between the two sides. Barcelona had a 2:3 at Old Trafford. In the end, Manchester United won the game 7:2 in total and successfully advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals.

The pain of losing the League Cup soon passed. After all, Manchester United fans and players won so much in the League Cup, so they no longer care about it. What they care about the most is the league championship and the Champions League. Especially in the Champions League, the more they win, the better. Manchester United's Champions League is not as good as Liverpool's. How can they not want to get more?

4 vs 5, just take another one and it just a draw.

So basically no one is sad.

At 12 noon local time on March 18, Switzerland, the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the 2015-16 Champions League will be held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

After the last four games of the week, all the Champions League finals of this season ended. The four games ended last week showed a double-kill pattern. Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain at home and away, Real Madrid defeated Roma 2-0, Wolfsburg and Benfica also defeated Gent and St. Petersburg Zenit respectively to advance to the next round. In the mid-week game, Manchester United defeated Barcelona twice, Bayern Munich narrowly eliminated Juventus after overtime, Manchester City successfully defeated Dynamo Kiev, Atletico Madrid narrowly defeated Eindhoven through a penalty shootout, and the Champions League quarterfinals were born.

Among the top 8, Premier League teams occupy three seats, which still reflects their overall advantage. In addition, two teams in the Bundesliga and La Liga have reached the quarter-finals, Portugal only has one place, while Serie A is wiped out.

According to the Champions League draw rules, there will be no evasion principle in the draw in this quarter-finals. Teams in the same league and teams in the same group may meet in a narrow road, which will greatly increase the viewing of the game.

Because there is no principle of avoidance, teams in the same league have the possibility of meeting, and Premier League teams occupying three seats are likely to meet in advance. Among them, the most anticipated one is of course the early encounter between Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City. If the three favorites to win the championship really meet in advance, the first ** of the Champions League this season will also usher in the first **. In addition, if the Madrid derby is staged in advance, it will also become the most eye-catching event in the quarter-finals.

This season's Champions League quarterfinals gathered, and strong dialogues are inevitable. In addition to the Spanish national derby mentioned earlier, the showdown between other powerful men is also worth looking forward to. As a favorite to win the championship, Bayern Munich has just eliminated Serie A's only Juventus. This time, whether they encounter the top three Premier League or Real Madrid, it will attract widespread attention.

There are powerful men, and naturally there are also "weak teams". Wolfsburg has reached the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time in history, and they are also regarded as the best opponents to deal with. In addition, Benfica is also an opponent that other giants hope to meet. Can these two teams create miracles to advance to the semi-finals? It will also attract attention.

According to the schedule, the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season will be held on April 5, 6 and 12 and 13. The draw ceremony of the semi-finals will be held on April 15. The two semi-finals will be held on April 26, 27 and 3 and 4. The finals will be staged on May 28 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy.

Ferguson did not go to Nyon, Switzerland, only Sandezi went to participate in the draw. For Ferguson, he no longer cared about which opponent he met. The only goal was to win the championship, and he had to defeat all opponents.

In the end, the lottery result was not ideal...

Wolfsburg vs Real Madrid

Bayern Munich vs Benfica

Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid

Chelsea vs Manchester City

Although it is not ideal, it is better than Chelsea vs. Manchester City, because Messi and Ronaldo have met again.

Manchester United plays Atletico Madrid, which is pretty good...

After all, it is always much easier to deal with Griezmann than Messi and Ronaldo. Although it is not as good as Bayern Munich and Real Madrid's signing.

In terms of the odds of winning the Champions League, Ronaldo's Chelsea rose to first. After all, they defeated Manchester United last week and won the League Cup, while Manchester United ranked second, Bayern third, Atletico Madrid fourth, Real Madrid fifth, poor Manchester City, just ranked sixth...

However, if you don’t do things like Champions League, you will only know after playing the game.

In terms of odds for the top scorer, Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo were on the same side. Although Ronaldo scored many goals in the Premier League, Dong Fangzhuo scored many goals in the Champions League, so Ronaldo had no advantage.

They just hope that the best result is to meet again in the final...

Messi was very confused. He said in an interview with The Times, "Everyone is not optimistic about us, and there is not much pressure. But why are we the weak side? I don't understand. Maybe when the results come out, many people will be disappointed. Manchester City only lost two games this season."

"But, Leo, the two games you lost, one is Manchester United and the other is Chelsea. Doesn't that mean anything?"

"Of course nothing can be explained. These are the past and history, and the new competition is the new history!"

Of course Messi will not admit defeat...

This inspires his fighting spirit even more. In the weekend's league, he led Chelsea to beat Stoke City 5-0 and also scored a hat trick himself, but Manchester United and Chelsea did not show such a state. They just easily defeated their respective opponents 2-0. However, none of the three teams encountered too many difficulties.

Although the fourth team Liverpool stumbling, they also won Tottenham. This indirectly helped Arsenal and Southampton. Arsenal, fifth and Southampton, sixth, both won, widened the distance with Tottenham.

This season, Arsenal no longer wants to be a foul monster. They are so desolate that they only want to live in the Europa League... But these two teams are actually not much different from Liverpool, which is fourth, and are only 5 points away. In the next round, Arsenal will face Southampton at home, which may be a bloody storm...

Sure enough, Southampton defeated Arsenal 3:2 away, overtaking their points and climbed to fifth place. But at this time, Liverpool actually lost to the last league away. Southampton really caught up, only 2 points away from Liverpool!

"It's incredible." After the game, Southampton captain Gerald was quite happy. He has almost forgotten Liverpool and has played happily in Southampton. "I'm happy to be able to catch up with Liverpool. We all want to go to the Champions League."

"If I have hope to surpass Liverpool this season, then I can only be sad for Liverpool."

At the beginning of the season, no one was optimistic about Southampton. They all believed that Sun Jihai and Dong Fangzhuo's selling strategies were a waste of money. It was impossible for a group of veterans to lead the youth army out. As a result, they have become fourth-ranked strong competitors.

Destiny is so magical. After crossing the Arsenal level, Southampton will go to Anfield to challenge Liverpool. If they succeed in the challenge, they can overtake Liverpool and rush to fourth place.

"They won't have a chance."

"Gerard knows how terrible Anfield is."

"We will beat them here and tell them that only Liverpool can go to the Champions League, and they can only go to the Europa League." Klopp started a psychological battle.

"After Gerald returns here, he doesn't even know how to play football. He will think he is still a Liverpool player."

"But seriously, his condition is really good. I should have let him stay. He can still help Liverpool and he can also be the captain of Liverpool."

Klopp started playing the emotional card again, but Gerald no longer belongs to Liverpool. Can he really make Gerald perform poorly?

Spinach Company drew a draw for the handicap of this game, not thinking that Liverpool could beat Southampton at home.

"The heart of glory can allow Southampton to defeat Liverpool at Anfield, come on!" Dong Fangzhuo also shouted for Southampton on Twitter.

"The Champions League is waiting for you, everything in the future is not a dream! Defeat Liverpool! Captain Southampton!"

He also @ed Gerald and specifically reminded him that he is now the captain of Southampton, not Liverpool anymore!

Southampton fans also responded and left messages on Dong Fangzhuo's social networking.

"Yes, Steve, you're the captain of Southampton now!"

"You are doing something even greater!"

To be honest, Gerald felt very painful in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. If he sent Liverpool to the European Union, he would be Liverpool's sinner...

But there is no way, as everyone said, he is the captain of Southampton, and he is also respected and loved here.

He has to be professional enough...

This week, these two teams became the focus of England.

Manchester United won the first victory, and then Dong Fangzhuo drove to Anfield to watch Southampton play in person here.

Anfield fans saw Dong Fangzhuo appear in the stands and immediately gave him a huge boo.

He now appears as the boss of Southampton and appears in the VIP seat, surrounded by Sun Jihai, Liverpool Chairman, etc.

No matter how loud the boo is, it will not affect his mood to watch the football.

Both teams start all the main players without reservation at all.

Gerald did walk out of the stadium with the captain's armband. The Liverpool fans were naturally in a very conflicting mood. This was the first time Gerald returned to Anfield as a player of other teams. I don't know whether to give him applause or be silent. Anyway, booing is impossible. This old minister has been fighting here for more than 20 years and is still the greatest captain of the team.

The song "You Never Walk Alone" came to an abrupt end for the first time, when Gerald appeared.

There was a little noise in the stands because the fans began to get into pain.

"I don't know what to say,"

"He was suddenly very sad."

"He still wears the captain's armband, but he is not the captain of Liverpool. But this scene makes me think he is."

“It feels so bad.”

"I don't even want to sing team songs because I feel the smell of loneliness."

"This is not what he wants most in his heart, right?"

A Liverpool fan expressed his heart like a poem, and also pondered Gerald's heart.

Gerald stood at the entrance of the player's passage and listened to the familiar song. The sudden interruption of the song made his heart skip a beat, as if the strings were broken, and everyone's mood was condensed in one piece.

This is Anfield, which he is familiar with, but he does not belong here, just like the song suddenly breaks, no longer the love of the past!

well……

He specially tightened the captain's armband on his left arm and stepped firmly into the court.

This day, I belong to Southampton!

"Brothers, be ready to fight!"

His voice was loud and loud, and he was still full of fighting spirit with his arms raised.

"come on!"

"come on!"

Looking at Gerald, the mentality of Liverpool fans is also changing.

"This is the enemy."

"At least he is the enemy today!"

"Never let Southampton take the victory here!"

Beep—

The referee's whistle sounded, and the eye-catching game finally started. Both sides entered a crazy confrontation from the beginning. Gerrard first gave Liverpool fans a big gift with a foul.
Chapter completed!
