The UEFA Champions League's first-fourth draw result Villarel VS Arsenal United VS Porto second half Everton VS Chelsea Barcelona VS Bayern Premier League team civil war appeared, but the British media's prediction failed. UEFA has two Premier League teams in the upper and lower half of the region. According to such a draw result, Chelsea has a good chance of playing against Barcelona in the semi-finals, and the two favorite Manchester United and Barcelona can only meet in the finals in Rome!

It's a little unexpected from the British media, but it's also expected to take a closer look. The Premier League civil war is still going to be staged, but it has become a blue-blue war, and Manchester United's semi-finals are also likely to fight with Arsenal for a while.

UEFA seems to put Manchester United in the finals, and Barcelona will compete with the Blues for another final place.

It is just right to avoid all kinds of possible doubts and reject the predictions of British media analysis. Let's see what else you guys can say. Anyway, the most favorable Premier League team now is Manchester United. They are most likely to enter the finals. How can you question it?

There is a problem, which makes all parties unable to say anything. The UEFA lottery is really beautiful. As for whether there is a so-called hidden operation, think about it yourself?

The match between Barcelona and Bundesliga Bayern has become an important part of the quarter-finals.

And Manchester United's opponent Porto, no one sees them as a role that can block Manchester United.

Manchester United played against Porto, the 2008 Champions League champion PK2004 Champions League champion, but the defending champion camp was overjoyed.

Avoiding the "premier League" and not meeting the 2006 Champions League champion Barcelona and 2001 Champions League champion Bayern Munich. No wonder Manchester United coach Ferguson and club representative Ramsden said "this is a good sign for us" unabashedly after the situation was announced.

When it comes to Porto, it can't be said that Mourinho, who just lost in the top 16 match with Lord Ferg. In the last 16 games of the 2003/04 season, Manchester United was killed by Costinha in 90 minutes, and the total score was 2-3 by Porto. At that time, the "madman" who had not yet dressed up as cool suddenly danced with ecstasy on the sideline of the Dream Theater, and Porto also passed all the way and finally reached the top, becoming the only one in the past 13 years. A non-four-four league teams holding the Big Ear Holy Grail.

However, Mourinho has left the "Dragon" for a long time, and Porto has long lost the power of that year.

Although the group stage beat Arsenal to win the first place in the group, the two-round confrontation with the Gunners was 1 win, 1 loss and two goals. Among them, they swallowed four eggs in the away game against Arsenal, and the first round of knockout was just relying on away goals to barely pass.

In contrast to the defending champion Manchester United, Inter Milan was eliminated by one goal in the top 16 games, which not only set an unbeaten record of 21 in the Champions League, but also shattered the spell that the defending champion could not break through the 1/8 final for four consecutive seasons. Ramsden, the representative of the club in Nyon, said in an interview with Sky TV, "I think we should be happy about this, although this does not mean that we will automatically advance." His words are extremely arrogant, and it also shows Manchester United's satisfaction with this signing.

The two rounds of the game seem to be unfavorable to Manchester United. Ramsden said, "If you want to be perfect, I think Ferguson would rather play away in the first round, but since this is already the case, we will fully adapt to it." In fact, Porto's home court is indeed dangerous. In the past five seasons, the top four of the Premier League went to the Dragon Stadium and failed to win, while Manchester United had a total of 3 away games with 1 draw, 2 goals and 1 goal but lost 6 goals at an absolute disadvantage.

But the Lord doesn't care about this at all. "It's really a sign for us. Sometimes you wonder whether the first round of home is a good thing or a bad thing. But I think the important thing is to face challenges, not to worry, which is a good omen. The only thing we hope for is not to lose the ball at home. However, it is worth mentioning that Manchester United won the championship last year. In the three rounds of knockout matches, they were first and then away. This season's top 16 elimination of Inter Milan is also the same order of home and away. The last time they were eliminated in the Champions League was the 2006/07 UEFA Champions League semi-finals and lost to AC Milan. That time was first home and then away, and before Tao Teriel and Roma are also the first away game and then the home court. The last time they were also the home away game, but it was AC Milan who killed the Red Devils.

Of course, Manchester United has performed well in the Champions League this season, especially in defense, winning the European championship, conceding only 3 goals after playing 8 games, 6 of which were a clean sheet. In terms of offense, last season's UEFA Champions League Golden Boot Cristiano Ronaldo has also made a win. Although the six matches with Porto, 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses (three two rounds of knockout matches were eliminated by the opponent twice) do not have an advantage, the record between the Red Devils and the Portuguese club still has the upper hand, not to mention that Manchester United has "Portuguese blood" such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani and the previous Queros, so it has been three consecutive seasons. At least it is not difficult to reach the Champions League semi-finals, which means that the advanced Red Devils can become the first team to successfully defend their title in the Champions League after AC Milan (1989, 1990) as long as they win three more games.

The Portuguese media don't think so. After learning that Portugal's only Champions League team, Porto, met Manchester United in the Champions League, the Portuguese media also thought it was a huge challenge for the team, but they also used the example of Porto's elimination of Manchester United in the 2003/04 season to illustrate Porto. It's not that there is no possibility of a cold explosion.

After drawing lots, Portugal's largest portal SAPO believes that Porto's encounter with the defending champion Manchester United is a difficult challenge for the Portuguese, but the host's schedule is a favorable advantage for Porto. In addition, Porto, which has won the Champions League trophy in 1987 and 2004, respectively, will not Easily give up the third chance to hit the Champions League in the club's history this season.

Portugal's website of "publico" also pointed out that although the strength of Porto and Manchester United are not on the same level, in the 2003/04 season, Porto eliminated Manchester United with a total score of 3-2 under the leadership of Mourinho, advanced to the next round and finally won the championship. Now that it encounters the old enemy again, it may also be a good opportunity for Porto to replicate the glory of that year. If they can make it to the final, they will fight against the winner between Arsenal and Villarreal.

Portuguese News Daily believes that Porto will be able to see many Portuguese compatriots in Manchester United. Ronaldo and Nani are the best in Portugal in this century. Now they have also become the main backbone of Manchester United, and Anderson is also They used to be a member of the Portuguese Super League, but now they will challenge Porto on behalf of Manchester United, which also adds a lot of highlights to the war between the two sides.

Porto looks forward to replicating the glory of the elimination of Manchester United in the Champions League five years ago, but Manchester United is also eager to avenge the shame of five years ago.

However, there are some infernal meanings of Manchester United Portuguese players outside the Portuguese media. Can such a thing happen?

Manchester United coach Ferguson believes that drawing Porto is undoubtedly a very good quarter-final opponent for the Red Devils. The first leg of the two sides will be played at Old Trafford on April 7.

"This is a good sign for us," Ferguson said to Manchester United's official website. "Sometimes you want to know if it's a good thing to play home first and then away, but I don't think there is any sign that it's good or bad to play home or away first." The Lord seemed very confident.

However, Ferguson still sounded the alarm for the team, "The only hope of playing at home first is not to let the opponent score away goals."

There is also an innate advantage against the Portuguese team Manchester United, which is that there are two players from Portugal in the team, C Ronaldo and Nani, which also allows the Red Devils to know more about Portuguese football. In addition, Anderson also played for Porto before joining Manchester United. Ferguson believes that the "grape" in the team The tooth factor will be the key to determining the game.

"We have played against Porto before, and we respect any Portuguese team. We have a lot of Portuguese factors in the team. It used to be Queros, but now it's Nani and C Ronaldo, so we know Portuguese football very well. I'm very happy about this draw. We are moving towards the championship.

The cunning old man said good words to others again. The words followed the meaning of the Portuguese media, once again emphasizing the importance of Portuguese players in Manchester United. This kind of smoke bomb is very useful. Is it good?

But please don't forget that Manchester United still has Li Yu, a Chinese player. Ferguson doesn't mention another killer of Manchester United. He affirms my own plan. I don't know whether it is the Portuguese of Manchester United or the flag of China Li Yu leading the attack in the game.

For the focus of the second half, the two giants Barcelona and Bayern Munich met on the narrow road.

Spanish media generally believe that Barcelona drew the lottery because the Reds and Blues avoided the four giants of the Premier League. But in the view of the two giants of Barcelona and the main striker Henry, Bayern is definitely a difficult opponent.

"In the game against Bayern, my personal record is 1 draw and 3 losses, and Bayern has never made me happy." After the draw was announced, Henry said, "Bayern has many excellent scorers who can score 12 goals from Sporting Lisbon. I respect Klinsmann very much, as he has been since he was a player. Klinsmann is a striker who can score goals in any way. The home and away schedule is a little bad for us. This round will be very difficult, but I am confident of winning.

But 31-year-old Henry may have questioned his memory, and the emperor even misremembered the result of the game. Henry did play against Bayern four times, but the record was not 1 draw and 3 losses as he said, but 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. In the 00/01 season, Arsenal were in the same group with Bayern in the second stage of the UEFA Champions League. In the second round, Arsenal drew 2-2 at home to Bayern. Henry scored a goal. In the last round of the group stage, the Gunners lost 0-1 away. In the UEFA Champions League 1/8 final of the 04/05 season, Arsenal met with Bayern again. Arsenal lost 1-3 away in the first round. Although they won 1-0 at home with Henry's goal in the second leg, the Gunners were eliminated.

When asked about his attitude towards the results of the draw, Barcelona President La Porta joked. I know that we don't have a good record in Bayern's history. This is because our relationship is so good that we are embarrassed to beat them. In an interview with Barcelona TV, La Porta said, "The result of this draw is a little unfavorable, because our opponent is a strong team with many advantages, and the schedule is first host and then away. I hope that on the night of the first round at Camp Nou, the fans will bring strength to the team, and we can't tolerate any mistakes.

For Bayern, Barcelona's sports director Bergeristan also gave a very high evaluation. Like us, Bayern is currently advancing side by side on the three fronts. Ribery is a very good player, but it is the credit of the whole Bayern team to being able to beat Sporting Lisbon 12 to 1. Bergeristan said, "We have proved one point many times this season. As long as we can not be overwhelmed by pressure and keep the rhythm, we are confident to defeat any opponent. Bayern will definitely cause us a lot of trouble. Barcelona must adhere to the philosophy of football and play with wisdom.

The German media Kicker used the title of "Bayern will go to Camp Nou": after defeating Sporting Lisbon, Bayern will continue to face the challenge of the team from the Iberian Peninsula, but this time the opponent is obviously too strong. The only thing worth grat from Bayern is that Bayern has the first guest and then the host. If Barcelona can be eliminated, Bayern will usher in a strong resistance from Chelsea. For Bayern, there is no chance to relax in the final battle of the Champions League.

The title of Bild is "Bayern needs to defeat Barcelona."

Facing Barcelona and Messi in the quarter-finals is definitely a difficult challenge for Bayern. Even if the Spanish team is barely eliminated, you will meet the king of the Cup Everton or Chelsea with Barracks. The quarter-finals will be on April 7/8 and April 14/15. OK.

"Sports Pictures" believes that Bayern has a strong opponent: the quarter-finals against Barcelona - there is no doubt that Bayern will encounter a strong opponent in the Champions League. Klinsmann's team must find a way to eliminate Barcelona. In addition, they will also meet the winners of Everton and Chelsea in the semi-finals. Hernes was satisfied with the result of the draw: "It's fantastic. We didn't play in the Champions League last season, and now we are in the quarterfinals. We should have opponents like Barcelona.

Report from the famous sports website sportal.de: The road to Rome, the hegemon of the Bundesliga, will be extremely difficult. In the quarter-finals, Bayern will face Barcelona first. If they can advance, Everton or Chelsea will be Bayern's next opponent. Van Bommel, the current captain of Bayern, who once played for Barcelona, also said in an interview before the draw that it would be an ideal result to play against Barcelona.

In the past, Chinese media said that the Champions League was from the perspective of bystanders, but now it is completely different. Li Yu is in Manchester United. It seems that Chinese people have focused their attention on Manchester United. It is still too early to defend the title, but from the perspective of the draw, Li Yu appeared The possibility of the finals in Rome is extremely high.

What is that? Another great moment for Chinese footballers is not a substitute or soy sauce, but the main striker. Li Yu, who is expected to compete for the best player in the Champions League, is currently ahead of Ronaldo in the Champions League, and Barcelona Messi are leading the scorer list with 6 goals.

As long as Manchester United finally wins the Big Ears Cup, Chinese player Li Yu's best player in the Champions League is likely to become a reality.

The great moment is related to another great record. The emotions of Chinese fans have been completely stimulated by the media, and they have made suggestions for Li Yu one after another. In the quarter-finals against Porto, Chinese fans think that C Ronaldo does not want to embarras his hometown team. Li Yu is a Chinese and has no such way at all. According to the estimate, brushing the data is not negotiable. It's a great opportunity. I'm sorry if I don't brush it!

Porto is very sad and naturally becomes the best choice for Chinese fans to refresh data.

In a text message survey held by CCTV Sports Channel, most Chinese players believed that after two knockout matches in Porto, Li Yu's goal number of goals should be 9, that is to say, most people think that Li Yu will score three goals in the two rounds.

The Chinese reporter stationed in the United Kingdom reflected the results of this survey to Li Yu as soon as possible, and asked him to talk about his own views on the honor that will be impacted!

"If you don't say that, I haven't noticed that the best player in the Champions League is an honor that every player wants to wait for. Of course, I am no exception. I'm also very happy and excited to compete with Barcelona player Messi for the best scorer. It's better to be able to score against each other in the game! In Manchester United, I often work with C Ronaldo, and the result is surprisingly good, but Messi is not a team after all. I enter. He doesn't enter. Manchester United's final championship is the most important thing. That's what I want to say most is to do my best to let Manchester United achieve the great cause of defending the title. Finally, I would like to thank the Chinese fans for their support and goals, Manchester. Joint championship, please keep an eye on the game!"

"Li Yu issued a declaration to defend Manchester United's title, and he wants the goal and the Big Ear Cup!" After reading this report, Li Yu herself felt that the words had changed a little when the media went everywhere.
