Chapter 319 Champions League quarter-finals draw (daily transition)
Emirates Stadium.
The stands on all sides convey restlessness, heat and passion.
Deafening cheers flooded every corner.
Break the curse of the Champions League quarterfinals?
No!
Arsenal fans now firmly believe that the team has the ability to create European history!
"Lee!
"
"Lee!
"
"Lee!
"
Coach Top and Li Kang met on the sidelines.
The white-haired old man smiled and patted his shoulder, and said gently: "You will definitely go further... This time, no one can stop you."
Li Kang was startled.
He suddenly discovered that the other person's spine was more curved than in previous years.
Subconsciously, I held the hand that had experienced vicissitudes of life.
Reporters from nearby media raised their cameras to record this tender scene.
Dino stepped forward quickly and said in surprise: "Boss, is the sand in the Emirates Stadium that big?"
Old Man Top frowned and said, "Asshole, you're blocking the camera!"
...
Wenger also shook hands with members of the Leverkusen coaching staff in a very graceful manner, holding a training jacket in his hand.
Boulder couldn't help but sigh: "Boss, I feel like everything that happened this season is like a dream..."
Wenger put his coat on Li Kang and said with a smile: "All your wishes will come true this season."
the other side.
Morata is standing in front of the billboard and being interviewed by media reporters.
"Alvaro, your assists in the Champions League this season have reached eight! As a forward, what do you want to say?"
The handsome face gradually became serious.
The Arsenal forward said seriously: "Every goal is the effort of the whole team. We disrupted the opponent's defensive deployment through passing and cooperation. Every successful pass in this process contributed to the final goal.
No less than my assist."
"Li, he can improve our offensive coordination by several levels!"
Bang bang bang!
The applause lasted for a long time.
...
Return to Colney training base.
Wenger announced that he would give all staff a day off and hurried home to celebrate his daughter's birthday.
Daughter Liya is the same age as Li Kang and is majoring in veterinary medicine.
Speaking of the love history of the Arsenal coach, it is also quite rich...it can only be described in four words: old and strong.
Li Kang held the tablet and walked towards the parking lot step by step.
The Chelsea match video was playing on the screen.
Maguire caught up, took a closer look, and said:
"Lee and Conte's three-centre-back system is rampant in Europe! Even the England and Belgium national teams are imitating this tactic."
"I think this is the self-upgrading of football to a certain stage of development, just like the process of our evolution from single cells to humans. It is a natural law."
"You want to say what is the core of Conte's three-centre-back system?"
"Two wing-backs, of course."
"Even a mediocre player like Moses can become Chelsea's main force..."
...
That night.
The Champions League quarter-finals are released:
Atletico Madrid, Napoli, Monaco, Leicester City, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Juventus, Bayern Munich.
The number of comments and likes has skyrocketed.
-[Leicester City has a good life. They were massacred by Porto with five goals in the group stage. They got good draws all the way and were sent to the quarterfinals.]
-[Look, no matter how you play, there are still two places in the Premier League that have reached the quarterfinals, and the points in the European War have to increase a lot.]
-[I hope that Xiao Lizi will also be walked and walked, and he will not draw an opponent who is too powerful.]
-【What if Real Madrid is drawn?】
-[To be honest, Arsenal facing any team among Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Bayern, and Real Madrid is as difficult as the Champions League final.]
-[What’s so difficult, wasn’t Leverkusen, who reached the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, also defeated by Leonardo DiCaprio? 】
-【...】
-[I said there was something missing from the quarterfinals this year, but it turned out that Barcelona was missing!]
...
Two days later.
Li Kang once again enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the Laimang River.
Quiet ancient mountains.
Narrow streets.
Colorful display windows.
Arsenal personnel finally arrived at the UEFA headquarters in the Swiss town of Nyon.
When in town, do as the Romans do.
The small country of Switzerland has a world-famous "punctuality obsession".
Without waiting for long, the exciting Champions League theme song sounded in the venue.
Li Kang followed the number plate and found his seat, again between Ronaldo and Buffon.
The Juventus goalkeeper patted him on the shoulder enthusiastically: "I have been studying your game recently... You can't wait until I retire. We haven't played against each other in the Champions League, right?"
Retirement?
When will Buffon retire? This is one of the unsolved mysteries in European football.
Ronaldo couldn't help but smile when he heard these words. When he felt Li Kang's eyes looking over, his serious expression immediately returned.
snort.
The Arsenal midfielder is his strongest contender for the Champions League Golden Boot this season!
Sitting next to Buffon is Yin Guayin.
Juventus suddenly sent two player representatives this time.
...
The large LED screen on the main stage played the highlights of the Champions League round of 16.
Li Kang's super heavy artillery.
Saul defeated four people in a row.
Cristiano Ronaldo volleyed.
Mbappe is soaring to the extreme.
Yin Guayin has a graceful arc.
The breathtaking scenes made the atmosphere of the venue more and more exciting.
...
Coach's representative seat.
Zidane and Wenger exchanged words.
I don't know what the two of them are talking about.
The Real Madrid coach glanced at Li Kang from time to time, while the Arsenal coach looked embarrassed.
Simeone next to him frowned: He must conquer the players with his charisma.
...
Li Kang suddenly felt something soft and hard poking his back.
Turn around and look.
It's Griezmann.
The guy handed over a folded note.
"Our leader asked me to give it to you..."
The smile of the Atletico Madrid core was very stiff.
He doesn't like yellow people and has insulted *** on social platforms three times, but this has not affected the number of his fans in Asia at all.
Li Kang unfolded the note and took a look.
The crooked lines and symbols above correspond to Chelsea’s three-centre-back formation!
Buffon frowned and quickly interjected: "Conte and I have a very good relationship. There is no need to listen to Simeone. Juventus has the best tactical analysis team in Europe. Let me tell you..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!...
The ceremony went on in an orderly manner.
Host Pedro Pinto did a lot of talking.
About half an hour passed.
Marchetti, who arrived belatedly, announced that he had entered the draw.
The coaches of each club couldn't help but become nervous.
Li Kang and Buffon in the audience were writing and drawing engrossedly and making gestures from time to time...
...
Ian Rush is a Liverpool legend.
Why is he the guest of honor at this lottery ceremony?
Because he is Welsh.
Because the Champions League final is held in Wales: Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium!
"The first match result is out."
"Atletico Madrid vs. Leicester City!"
Simeone smiled evilly and looked at Ranieri with a bitter expression.
Let Kanter go.
Leicester City is fighting on multiple fronts and is struggling.
"The results of the second match are out."
"Juventus vs. Monaco!"
Alegre's expression was very calm.
Jacob remained calm as well.
The Bianconeri love to end the dark horse's run.
Players' bench.
Buffon breathed a long sigh of relief, took a sip of mineral water, folded the note covered with symbols, and stuffed it into Li Kang's suit pocket.
Then he laughed and said: "Maybe when I retire... we won't have a chance to play against each other in the Champions League."
...
Wenger took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
Three opponents remain.
He doesn't think Arsenal will draw Napoli...
Why do you feel an inexplicable sense of crisis?
"The results of the third match are out."
"Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich!"
The whole place was in an uproar.
Bayern draws another Premier League team?
Arsenal again?
People have lost count of how many times Bayern have abused Arsenal.
In the Champions League group stage last season, the Bundesliga giants trounced the arsenal with five goals!
Ancelotti crossed his hands on his chest, full of confidence.
Mueller looked bitter and glanced at Li Kang subconsciously.
People often say: Bayern is the dream monster of the Premier League team and the real king of London.
However, Bayern's nemesis is not only Borussia Monchengladbach, but also that kid Li Kang!
...
"The result of the fourth match is out!"
"Real Madrid vs. Napoli!"
Ronaldo and Yin Guayin smiled at each other unconsciously.
The two used to be good forward partners.
Time goes by.
It felt like I was back to that wonderful night many years ago.
Yin Guayin was about to score a goal alone, but was knocked down by his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo... and received an angry scolding.
But this little episode did not affect their friendship.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Yin Guayin are still good friends.
Buffon raised his hand to interrupt the eye contact between the two.
He said to Yin Guayin: "You are now a Juventus player and have nothing to do with Naples."
