Chapter 285 Confidence
Real Madrid vs Manchester United
Barcza VS Alkmaar
Bayern VS Porto
Valencia VS Lazio
The draw results of the quarter-finals are announced. Real Madrid and the defending champion Manchester United will have a big match. Barcelona, the best big team, accepts the challenge from the super dark horse Alkmaar. Bayern Munich's opponent in the Bundesliga is the weakest, and Porto from the Portuguese Super League is difficult to pose much threat to them. Lazio and Valencia became the only civilian battle.
The British media has different opinions on the results of such a lottery, and the focus is naturally focused on the war between Real Madrid and Manchester United.
The headline of the Daily Mail is: Manchester United and Real Madrid meet on the narrow road. The article describes: This is a real big game. In the world war, the match between Manchester United and Real Madrid will be the focus of this round of knockout. The two teams have fought four times in the last century, with a record of two wins and two draws. Each side has advanced once. This time, the defending champion Manchester United has a more momentum. Real Madrid is relatively depressed. Who will be in the new world? Winning the first battle of Ji will become a hot topic.
The Sun is even more exaggerated, directly putting the big picture of Raul and Keane together. The title is short and powerful: a man's duel!
As commented: This is the best opponent, and the defending champion will become the touchstone of the new Real Madrid. Bosk's team is on the right track. They need a strong opponent to stimulate the nerves of the sluggish.
Marca was worried about this and said, "Real Madrid has not been in good shape recently. They have lost 8 goals against Bayern. Can they stop the impact of Manchester United who defeated Bayern?"
The German media is very happy that Bayern has drawn Porto, and it is a more favorable situation of first guests and then owners. This is simply a recommended pass. Bild said: "Bayern has ushered in the best opportunity. This is what they got to sweep Real Madrid. Now their way to the top four is very bright. Now CAN THEY CONSIDER THE NEXT OPPONENT, Real M AD OR MANlian? Bayern must like Real Madrid the most, but it will be more motivated to play Manchester United, because Manchester United stole their Big Ear Cup in the last two minutes last season.
Kicker is more cautious. "Of course, this is the best result. There is no easier opponent than Porto, Alkmaar? Let others hit them. Bayern prefers to meet them in the finals. However, Porto has always had a good Champions League tradition. The team has won the Champions League in the 86/87 season. Compared with the giants, they have no psychological burden and may play beyond the level. I hope the Bayerners will not take it lightly.
The Portuguese media calmly accept this reality. Guangming Daily said: There are four giants in the top eight. We can't expect to avoid all of them. Of course, Bayern is not easy to play, but we must accept it and then work hard. It doesn't matter whether we win or lose. We have achieved the goals set before the season.
The Italian media cheered for Lazio, and La Gazzetta dello Sport commented: "This is a good sign. Although Valencia is a La Liga team, they play defensive counterattack, which is the same way as Eriksson's team. I believe Eriksson will find a way to restrain his opponent.
La Gazzetta dello Sport said: "As the representative of Serie A, Lazio has the heavy responsibility of competing for the honor of Serie A, and Valencia is obviously a good opponent. For the two defensive counterattack teams, whoever takes the first goal will take the lead, and whoever will advance the last two teams will advance. It can be the side of the first ball.
In the face of opponents like Alkmaar, Barcelona is mixed. In terms of fame, Alkmaar is definitely far inferior to the other six teams. In terms of strength, Alkmaar is at most similar to Valencia, Lazio and Porto, but this team is extremely strong in combat effectiveness and in excellent condition, which makes Barcelona happy. I don't dare to despise it.
Pro-Barsa's "World Sports News" commented: "Of course, drawing Alkmaar is a good draw, but I believe that Barcelona prefers to draw teams such as Lazio, Valencia and Porto. Their strength is stronger, but there is nothing unexpected to happen, and this Alkmaar is too strange, a little Like last season's Dynamo Kiev, Barcelona must be careful of the scene of being eliminated by Dynamo Kiev last season.
The Daily Sports also believes that drawing Alkmaar increases the risk of Barcelona. Among the four teams outside the giants, Alkmaar is the most unpredictable, but the Daily Sports believes that as long as Barcelona is cautious, there is no doubt about the promotion. Alkmaar's strength is not enough to block Barcelona. The way to enter.
Barcelona coach Van Gaal believes that drawing Alkmaar is undoubtedly a very good quarter-final opponent for Barcelona.
"This is a good sign for us," Van Gaal said to Barcelona's official website. "Sometimes you want to know if it's a good thing to play away first and then play the main game, but I don't think there is any sign that it's good or bad to play away first. We don't need this advantage." Dutch coach Van Gaal looks very confident.
However, Van Gaal still sounded the alarm for the team. The biggest hope of playing away first is to score away goals. However, Alkmaar's attack power is very strong. In the group stage, they scored ten goals from Chelsea and Lazio in two games. I don't think the away goal may be very useful.
There is another innate advantage against the team Barcelona against the Netherlands. This is that the head coach Van Gaal is from the Netherlands. His most successful record and honors are also from the Netherlands. Now there are also many players from the Netherlands in Barcelona's camp, Debor Brothers, Lit Manning, Cruyvit, Koko, Cenden, Bogard. This also gives Barcelona a better understanding of Dutch football, even like a Dutch battle. Van Gaal believes that the "Dutch factor" in the team will be the key to determining the game. We have never played against Alkmaar before, but we respect any team that has reached the quarterfinals. We have a lot of Dutch players, and I am also from the Netherlands. I know Dutch football very well. I am very happy about this draw. We are moving towards the championship.
Barba's core player Rivaldo said, "There is no better opponent than Alkmaar. What's more, we still have the advantage of playing away first, which can give full play to our offensive advantage. I hope to end the game at that stadium, and we have a heavier task in the league."
Another world-class superstar Figo also said that Alkmaar is not a concern, but the players have to overcome the idea of down on the enemy. "Although Alkmaar is a big dark horse, no one can say that this is a very bad sign, otherwise Real Madrid and Manchester United will be angry, as long as we don't There is no doubt about the promotion. What makes me more happy is that we are in a good half. The next opponent after our promotion will be Lazio or Valencia, which is our best chance to reach the finals.
The Dutch players in Barcelona said that they should not be too optimistic. Litmanin, who has played against Alkmaar, said: "Alkmaar is by no means a good bone. Their defense is very tough and their attack power is very strong. In addition, their head coach is very flexible and can always play the cards that surprises you the most. It's dangerous to play against such a team. We should avoid the reappearance of the scene in Dynamo Kiev.
Frank. De Boer had a lingering fear. He said, "The biggest danger for Alkmaar is their head coach. The young Chinese has a magical magic. Their team is full of fighting spirit and ** even at the last minute. They force you to scare you to pass the ball. I hope your teammates are mentally prepared in advance. Don't think that this is a soy sauce team from a small town. They have shouted the slogan to enter the finals. We must deal with it carefully to avoid the gutter from overturning.
The draw results of the Champions League top 8 match in Nyon, Switzerland, have nothing to fear for Alkmaar, even if the opponent is Barcelona, who owns Cruyvette, Figo and Rivaldo - this is the owner of Alkmaar Club, head coach Jiang Mu and their players after the draw ceremony. The attitude.
"Our team will write a great legend." Alkmaar Chairman Dirk said excitedly after watching the draw. We have always stressed that we are eager for a great game, which is what the team expected. We have a magical coach like Jiang Mu and a magical player like Xiao Luo. It will be a fantastic journey for our fans from Camp Nou to De Hoate.
"I'm very happy that we can prove ourselves a great encouragement, because our opponent is the best team in Europe at present," Jiang Mu also thinks that it is satisfying to meet a heavyweight opponent like Barcelona. This will make the whole game different. Barcelona is an excellent team. But anything can happen, and I believe that we will try our best to never have any burnout.
"There are many Dutch players in the opponent's lineup. Debor brothers and Lit Manning have all played against us, which can make Barcelona know us better, but we also know them. Barcelona is a team, not a magic show team. The players are still the original players in Barcelona. We know how to deal with them. These players, and Barcelona's playing style is very Dutch, and our players will be more familiar. We have performed well in the Dutch League. I think the players will find the feeling of playing the league in the Champions League.
Jiang Mu seemed a little excited. After all, this was the first real rich team he officially met. In his previous life, he went to Camp Nou, the largest stadium in Europe, but he could only watch Barcelona's game in the stands as a fan. Now, he will be the head coach, commanding the team and this could only be seen from afar. When the rich family competed, he could even decide the fate of the rich family, which made Jiang Mu excited when he thought about it.
The captain of the team, Van Bommel, is also happy to draw Barcelona. He said, "Of the seven teams in the top eight, of course, what I want to meet most is Lazio, so that we can deal with it easily, although it will make the fans feel a little tired. In addition to Lazio, Barcelona is The team we want to meet most has reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League. If we haven't played against a rich team, it's a great pity. We hope to prove our strength through the rich and let the world see how well we play.
