Chapter 68 UEFA Champions League Draw
There is nothing wrong with Manchester United. Everything follows Manchester United's strong status in the Premier League and even in European football, so that Manchester United has always been on the cusp of Manchester United. Good or bad, some are not. Anything related to Manchester United, you will always find it in the media.
As a hot player in Manchester United clubs, Li Yu's contract renewal has always been watched by the media. After the end of the Champions League, everyone is waiting for a person to appear. Li Yu's agent Wiltz, as long as this Frenchman appears at Manchester United, all problems will be clear.
But the problem is that none of the French have seen it. Let's not renew the contract?
Of course not, but put the negotiation after the end of the season. That's what Wiltz means. Li Yu is really a legendary boy. He can let the club take the initiative to renew the contract wherever he goes. Renewing the contract is to add money and pay the signing fee. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to buy loyalty to the players with money, plus some more to the club. Favorable terms or add some contract terms.
The contract between Li Yu and Manchester United is four years, and one year has basically passed. There are still three years left. When the contract expires, Li Yu will be less than 24. Judging from the current performance, it is obviously not a wise choice for Manchester United to let Li Yu go at the age of 24.
What a horrible little guy. People don't easily think of Li Yu's age. No matter how you look at it, they don't think he is a 20-year-old player. At least fans don't treat Li Yu as a young player. He is Manchester United's main No. 9 striker. It seems that everyone chooses to forget Li Yu's age. This is also a side effect of good performance.
First of all, the contract must be increased for a period of time, and it must be extended to at least five years, preferably seven years. If the price is suitable, Manchester United will even give a glorious lifetime contract, which is an extremely glorious thing for the players themselves. There are not many such things in world football. Rich clubs like Manchester United , it will never be easy to come up with such a contract. Of course, at present, the lifetime contract is a little impractical. The relationship between Li Yu and Manchester United Club is far from reaching such a level. The media has such speculation based on the analysis of China's huge market. It can be said that why Li Yu is so popular and the huge market behind it. The field and the fans are definitely one of the important factors.
What kind of contract is it? However, the age has aroused a lot of conjecture.
So what about the weekly salary that people are most concerned about?
Now Li Yu's weekly salary is 80,000 pounds, and Rooney is the same level. It is not easy to change the team's salary structure. It is not easy to catch up with C Ronaldo's first weekly salary of Manchester United. This is the price that Manchester United will give, but everyone knows that if C Ronaldo does not leave, grapes The dentist's contract also needs to increase the weekly salary. Referring to the new contract or the old contract, the gap is not small.
The media has actually calculated an account for Manchester United. With the highest value of 38 million pounds, the sales of Li Yu's jersey alone are estimated to have recovered the transfer cost. Manchester United is not Everton. They just buy jerseys in Liverpool or the United Kingdom. Manchester United also have fan stores in Asia, which is completely global sales. The sales of Li Yu's jerseys have surpassed C Ronaldo, who occupies the first place among the active players in the Premier League.
With this number, Manchester United should have the confidence to give a big contract that satisfies all parties, but a contract like Li Yu can't be decided by Ferguson alone. With the shrewdness of the Americans, even if they want to give it, I'm afraid the two sides will have to argue for a while. Manchester United The most money-making machines in their sports industry are extremely stingy.
In the words of the old Chinese, it's stingy!
Having said so much, the media has also given an estimate of the minimum weekly salary. Li Yuxin's contract should be at least double digits. Of course, this is a pre-tax figure. The numbers mentioned in the media are all pre-tax. In fact, in the hands of players, it will shrink a lot. According to British regulations, if Li Yu is 100,000 pounds before tax, to Li Yu He has 70,000 pounds in his hand. In fact, Li Yu's weekly salary has increased by 14,000 pounds.
What about the additional terms? The Premier League club does not like to add minimum liquidated damages to the contract. There is no such clause in the C Ronaldo contract, but if it comes to Li Yu, there may be no way. There is no way. Li Yu is too young. La Liga is a place where the minimum liquidated damages clause is rampant, but there are also certain rules, and Not all La Liga players have such a clause, but it is also used for potential young people or the absolute main force of the playing year. In other words, players with a market will have such a clause.
Of course, Li Yu has a market, and there is huge market support behind her. There are absolutely no many potential sellers who are moved. No one is a fool. Although he spends a lot of money, there are many ways to return money. He can even make money without losing money. Who doesn't like such a player? Besides, Li Yu's where to go is not just a matter of money. It's so simple. Wherever Li Yu goes, it means that the Chinese and Asian markets will open their doors, and the number of fans will also surge.
What the media said is also true, so will Manchester United make an exception to give Li Yu a clause like this? What kind of astronomical number will the terms be? The media is curious, and the fans are more curious!
A single contract renewal can attract the attention of all parties, which also shows that Li Yu has greatly improved its popularity. In fact, football is such a reality. If you perform well, you will naturally pay more attention to it. The better you pay attention to it, but when it is not good, the taste is also quite uncomfortable. The reason is also very simple. Stand high and fall hard!
Soon, the media found other news about Manchester United. In fact, it is not news, because with the end of the top 16 knockout matches in the Champions League, there will soon be a top 8 knockout match, and the media are predicting the final championship attribution.
Before that, two big gambling companies in Europe gave the news.
The draw ceremony of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals will be held in Nyon, Switzerland.
In the latest championship odds issued by two famous gambling companies, BWIN and William Hill, both ranked the defending champion Manchester United as the first favorite, but in William Hill's odds, Barcelona and Manchester United tied for the first place, while in BWIN's market, Manchester United took the lead with a slight advantage. In addition, the two companies The odds of the top eight are all the same.
For the second consecutive year, the top eight of the Premier League giants are still considered to be the favorites to win the championship, and all four teams are ranked in the top 5. Although Everton performed a miracle to beat Real Madrid in the 1/8 final, perhaps considering Hiddink's entry and last year's case, major betting companies believe that Chelsea's chances of winning the championship are still greater than Everton's.
And another Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich, who staged a massacre in the 1/8 final, only ranked fifth.
In addition, the two companies also set a set of odds on the draw and future trend of the top eight. In BWIN's view, there is the greatest chance of a Premier League civil war in the top eight. The chances of the top four attacking and challenging opponents of various countries are greater than the emergence of two internal PKs. The odds given by William Hill show that the company believes that this year's final in Rome will most likely repeat last year's British reunion.
Bwin Champions League Odds 1 Manchester United 1 to 3.42 Barcelona 1 to 3.63 Chelsea 1 to 6.54 Arsenal 1 to 7.55 Bayern 1 to 106 Everton 1 to 207 Villarreal 1 to 268 Porto 1 to 41 Premier League giants gather in the Champions League to encirclegate other European teams It is already very obvious that in the top 8 half of the day, Everton may also be exposed to the glory of the Premier League. Miracle entered the top 8, and the odds are not the lowest team. On the contrary, Porto, the Portuguese super giant, has become the bottom team.
In this case, the British media began to analyze the Premier League's match in the quarterfinals.
What can be analyzed in the lottery?
Theoretically, it is meaningless to analyze this thing, because it is a random thing. Any combination may appear, and analysis is meaningless.
But what if there are tricks in it? That's another matter~!
The UEFA Champions League draw is tricky. I'm afraid many people think so~! The British media made such an analysis in order to get a preventive injection, or add some obstacles to UEFA. You are plotting against the Premier League team behind your back, and we will put it on the table for you. Let's see how you smoke!
Therefore, the British media believes that there is something wrong with the lottery to analyze and analyze what kind of situation there will happen to Chen in the quarterfinals.
First of all, the British media must consider the factors that may affect the lottery.
What factors? That's the human factor. Who is this person? The answer is only UEFA. What is the mentality of UEFA? I'm afraid this is the most important factor?
According to the analysis of the British media, UEFA has three ideas: 1. The Premier League team is too strong in the Champions League and must be suppressed. The Champions League is not the FA Cup.
2. Make the game more suspenseful and exciting, so as to win the attention of more fans, increase the influence of the Champions League.
3. Under the condition of ensuring the interests of the big club, take care of the interests of the small club to promote the development of the small club and make the football development of the whole European football more balanced, which is also Platini's original intention.
The top eight teams in the Champions League are: Manchester United, Everton, Arsenal and Chelsea.
La Liga: Barcelona, Villarreal.
Bundesliga: Bayern.
Tao Chao: Porto.
UEFA's idea is worth a good analysis: First, the strength of the Premier League team has appeared as early as a few seasons ago. In the last UEFA Champions League, there were three Premier League teams, and the British derby was staged in the final. Well, the UEFA Champions League has become the Premier League giant division.
UEFA definitely doesn't want this kind of thing to happen again this season. It can be seen as early as the August 1st final, and the British media has also shouted about the problem of shady and hidden operation.
The top four of the Premier League were drawn: Inter, Rome, Juventus, Real Madrid, and four Premier League teams drew the strong teams respectively. Why didn't UEFA allow Bayern and Barcelona to join? There is another deep meaning in this. As the most popular team in European football recently, Barcelona's record against the Premier League is not good. It was eliminated by Chelsea on 04-05, by Liverpool on 06-07, and by Manchester United on 07-08.
Only in the 05-06 season, Chelsea was eliminated in the eighth final and Arsenal was eliminated in the final.
To sum up, the performance is not superior, which is one of them.
Second, Barcelona has a large number of fans and is very ornamental. If it touches the Premier League in the eighth final, in case it is eliminated, it will not only affect the ratings, but also minimize the prestige of the Premier League.
As for Bayern, considering the only seed in the Bundesliga, one-eighth encounters the Premier League, which is not enough, but also unfavorable to the schedule after the eighth final.
As the first batch of anti-English teams, it is certainly best to win, but it is better to lose. As a strong team, Barcelona, Bayern will become the second batch of anti-English teams.
As for Porto and Villarreal, they basically do not have the ability to block the strengths of the Premier League. They are the accidental leaking fish in the top 8. This analysis is fully shown in the odds of the gambling company. The bottom is the two missing fish.
The whole army of Serie A was destroyed, and the Ma De Liga fell, which I'm afraid even the UEFA didn't expect.
There are four in the top eight in the Premier League, which is relatively troublesome for the lottery.
After the quarter-quarters of the final, the same national team does not avoid it, so in general, there are three possibilities. One is that the top four of the Premier League are against the rest of the non-English Premier League teams.
Second, two Premier League teams meet, and the other two teams are divided against two non-premier League teams.
The third: four Premier League teams are in pairs, and the four non-Premier League teams are also two-to-two.
Theoretically, the first and the third situation is not big. If the first situation really occurs, it is really possible for the Champions League to become a division of the Premier League giants. Once this happens, it will be a very heavy blow to UEFA. Therefore, UEFA will never allow the first situation to occur. Therefore, the first situation can be ruled out.
As for the third type, the probability of the present is also quite small. If it appears, the UEFA will be too blatant. It will cause the dissatisfaction of the English people and will also cause inconvenience to the future.
Therefore, the second most likely plan to be implemented by UEFA!
In this way, there is already a pair of pairs in the Premier League. What about the other two?
According to UEFA's idea, to suppress the Premier League, one of the other two teams will be in this half of the two Premier League teams?
This is more obvious. It is roughly: three Premier League teams are adding a non-English Premier League team in one half zone, and three non-English Premier League teams and one Premier League team in one half zone.
Among the four Premier League teams, Arsenal and Everton are slightly inferior!
So it is very likely that Arsenal and Everton will be drawn to this half of the three non-English Premier League teams.
Among the four non-English Premier League teams, who will be drawn into the trap of Sanying?
Porto and Villarreal can be excluded. If they are drawn in as the second batch of anti-British teams, it will be too easy for the Premier League. The Premier League giants play-offs will be held as scheduled!
So only Barcelona and Bayern are left!
Among them, Bayern is very likely!
If Barcelona is drawn in, there is no certainty that Barcelona will win against which team?
For Chelsea, a ball like Everton is even more like a ball. Barcelona's pure technical flow is inevitable to lose to a team that pays attention to physical confrontation!
In addition, what is the game that fans want to watch most now?
Of course, Manchester United is the most eye-attracting to Barcelona.
Such a game should appear in the final, not an early encounter!
Bundesliga Bayern is a physical and technical flow, falling against the Premier League.
In the 04-05 season, I did not fall behind against Anathan and Chelsea, so it was obviously more appropriate for Bayern to draw in the Bundesliga than Barcelona in all aspects.
Now it seems that the British media has clearly described the general results of the lottery!
It's like this: Manchester United, Everton, Chelsea, Bayern, will be in the half zone.
The Barcelona, Arsenal, Porto and Villarreal Awards are in another half.
Then who will be against whom?
Theoretically, Bayern will encounter a relatively weaker opponent. Although Bayern is a big team, it is an indisputable fact that its strength has declined a lot in recent years.
Bayern is relatively weaker than the three Premier League teams. Manchester United, Everton and Chelsea are all excellent teams. It is hard to say who is slightly weaker. Everton can eliminate Real Madrid, which makes people feel that Everton has changed a team this season.
Manchester United and Chelsea are strong and stable.
It's just that Chelsea's new coach has changed, and there are variables, so Bayern is most likely to meet Chelsea.
The duel between Manchester United and Everton is more innovative in the Champions League, and there are definitely some off-court topics. The two clubs have a lot of connections. The two strikers in Manchester United, Li Yu and Rooney, will face the old owners again in the Champions League knockout match.
If there is such a dull game between Chelsea and Everton again, I guess no one will like it anymore.
So, Manchester United vs Everton and Chelsea vs. Bayern are relatively reasonable!
In the other half, the situation is relatively simple. There are two main possibilities. One is to keep Barcelona into the semi-finals, Barcelona draws Porto, and then the winner against Arsenal and Villarrell in the semi-finals.
The second is to let Arsenal touch Barcelona first. Both teams have technical flow. Barcelona is known as the enhanced version of Arsenal, and the winner is about 7 or 3. Porto is in Villarreal to ensure that a small goal will reach the semi-finals and take care of the interests of the small team. In addition, if Barcelona wins, it can ensure that Barcelona's chances of reaching the finals will increase a lot.
The British media feels that the second possibility is greater. Barcelona can't even beat Arsenal, and there is no evidence to fight against the Premier League in the final.
Porto and Villarreal will not be too bad for Arsenal, and they will not fall behind in confrontation.
The final result is: Manchester United - Everton Chelsea - Bayern Barcelona - Arsenal Villarreal - Porto
In the end, the British media also proposed a third possibility, which is bound to make the addition of UEFA comprehensive.
The third possibility is that Chelsea will replace Arsenal and be divided into the other half, giving the Premier League a hope that seems to meet in the finals, and let La Liga encircle a Premier League team!
Now we are waiting for the draw result of UEFA!
