Chapter 329 Champions League Quarterfinals Draw

UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw

"My penalty kick was too bad," Ronaldo was a little frustrated after the game, but he didn't give up. "It's not a problem with the goal. I should take responsibility. Only those who take responsibility are the ones who made mistakes. I once scored. A lot of much more difficult goals, but things are not going so well now, we would love to keep the points lead, but unfortunately, we only got one point. Fortunately, against Valencia, they only scored One point, the gap with me has not changed. We will continue to strive for victory, and may need to make some sacrifices during this period, but for us, the most important thing is the championship."

He hit the goal post twice, Ronaldo really can only sigh luck, but even so he still has to ask for the fans' understanding, after all, Real Madrid failed to expand the points because of him: "Except for that penalty kick, I think I have everything else. Not bad, lack of luck in the penalty kick, I ask the forgiveness of the team and the fans, after all, it was supposed to be a very important three points. The morale of my teammates is good, we missed the three points, but we will continue to work hard to improve , and I will continue to look for goals."

Ronaldo is in really good form this season, leading the scorer list a lot, but he has not scored in several games, which is a relatively difficult scoring drought for him.

But even if there is no goal, people still see Ronaldo's role in promoting Real Madrid in the game. At least compared to the situation where Raul can't even catch the ball, Ronaldo has got a near-fatal chance here, but just like people As I said, luck sometimes runs out, and God will be fairer sometimes.

Although when summing up the game, some people feel sorry for Real Madrid, thinking that they were a little less lucky today, but they didn’t concede a goal. Isn’t it a kind of luck? about there.

"There has never been a striker who can score goals all the time. It is normal for Ronaldo not to score in the last few games. Football players are always in good or bad form. What's more, Ronaldo's state is not a problem now." Brazil national team coach Pereira He recently participated in an event in Spain, and he expressed his support for Ronaldo in an interview.

Of course, people are more concerned about Adriano and Ronaldinho at this time. Compared with these two, although Ronaldo is trying his best to recover, after all, he owed too much money in the past two years, and people are full of expectations for him. Can't help but have infinite doubts.

Ronaldo's goal this year is not just the triple crown, he also needs a world championship. This is his last chance and the best chance for everyone.In another four years, although people think he is okay, but Ronaldo himself knows that he has little hope, and now he can control his body, but it is all supported by one breath. How much confidence can hold on to the past.

However, talk of Ronaldo's missed penalty disappeared on the second night, as Barcelona, ​​who were also on the road, were beaten by Osasuna.

Perez LS became the protagonist of this game. He repeatedly misjudged the ball in favor of Barcelona, ​​which caused strong dissatisfaction among the Barcelona players. An easy shot from the left side of the goal area for an empty goal.

The inner resentment and the conceded goal caused Barcelona to fall into chaos for a while. Not only was the game state bad, but it also created opportunities for the opponent many times.Eto'o even kicked a back pass straight into his own half, fortunately Milosevic's cross was topped by Raul García, otherwise it would have produced another 'classic' goal.

But this is not the climax. What really made Barcelona powerless was the red card. First, Edmilson was expelled from the field after chasing Milosevic for a second yellow card for a foul in No. 60 minutes, but the place of the foul was It happened in the penalty area, even though the slow-motion replay showed that the Brazilian never touched Milosevic, but the referee refused any explanation.

Punyar volleyed the middle of the penalty kick, and Valdez made a mistake in judgment and failed to save the team.

This penalty made the Barcelona team depressed, and the offense became more and more weak. Then at the end of the game, Motta shoveled Weber from the side and was sent off directly with a red card.

In this way, the two generals ended up without a waist, and Barcelona could only drink their hatred on the spot.

For this reason, although Real Madrid only scored one point, they also expanded their points advantage, leading Valencia by three points and Barcelona by five points.

After the game, Rijkaard was very upset, and directly criticized the referee on duty: "Osasuna is very particular about physical confrontation, and fortunately gained an advantage in the score. There are some processes that limit the game, and we cannot find our own rhythm. , After falling behind 0 to 1, we thought we could reverse the score, but the opponent's second goal and one of us was sent off affected the team. I still can't believe that foul. I think the referee can see everything that happened process, but it turned out not to be like that. I cannot accept that penalty. Also, I must stress that Motta has not lost his mind, there is always something passionate going on in football, and not every big move is Malicious foul. At that time, we had a relatively long confrontation with Osasuna. Mota was only a little late in the tackle, and the referee did not give a penalty for a foul on us by the opponent before that. In short, I don’t think the referee Motta was sent off because he thought he had lost his mind."

It is not terrible to lose a game, but what is terrible is that there are two defensive generals. As for who will replace Motta and Edmilson in the next game, Rijkaard is very helpless: "We have to be careful. Consideration and detailed assessment, and then solve this problem quietly, we were originally chasers, and the current situation is getting worse for us.”

"It wasn't a tactical error on the part of the team, there was no wrong positioning of our players, it wasn't a marking problem, we lost in the details of the game. There are always people who don't want us to win games, but, trust me, our team There is no problem with the running of the team. Some things happened in this game that seriously damaged our image, but we can only overcome these difficulties in the future. Whether it is three points or five points, these will not be a hindrance. There is a game, we will play one-on-one with Real Madrid, that will be the best time for us to reverse Real Madrid."

Criticizing the referee many times in the interview, Rijkaard will definitely be punished, but he followed this opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction and made Barcelona a party worthy of sympathy.Of course, the most important thing is that public opinion seems to have forgotten Barcelona's loss, and started talking about the referee's penalty.

Don't underestimate anyone, Rijkaard's actions are just shifting the pressure of the whole team to others, even if there is any residue, he has fully accepted it.

As for what Valdés said after the game, it was all because of the wind, which is irrelevant to the overall situation.

Real Madrid will not be provocative here, and making a fortune in silence is the kingly way.

After Inter Milan knocked out Ajax, the Champions League quarter-final draw was held in Nyon, Switzerland, and Real Madrid was represented by Butragueno. At least after Sacchi left, Mr. Vulture was in charge of Real Madrid's football. Most of the work.

This time the top eight is almost a confrontation between Spain and Italy. The two major leagues of La Liga and Serie A each occupy three seats. They all have the possibility of reaching the final. Relatively speaking, Serie A is a lot more difficult, but it is not hopeless, especially Inter Milan with Adriano. Of course, Juventus, which ranks first in the standings, is also a big favorite, but this year Juventus Si just hopes to go further. Their goal is not ambitious, but at this stage, if they don't shout the slogan of winning, they are a bit sorry for the top eight seats.

Milan is currently relatively difficult, but after all, they have rich experience in the Champions League and will never admit defeat easily. Therefore, relatively speaking, Villarreal, which is participating in the two major leagues for the first time, has little hope.

The other two teams are Benfica in Portugal and Lyon in France.Compared with the previous ones, Lyon has won the championship every year, especially this year, they beat Real Madrid to death in the group stage. Although the odds of winning the championship are only ranked fourth, they seem to have the highest hope of advancing.

On the contrary, Barcelona has been questioned because of the ups and downs in the league.

"Every team is the favorite to win the championship. We can only strive to be the best. No matter who the opponent is, our goal will not change. The triple crown is not just a slogan. Our whole team is moving towards this goal. Work hard for the goal, I believe we have the strength." Butragueno will not be humble at this time, and Real Madrid does have the qualifications to make great strides.With capital, being high-profile is nothing.

But he doesn't care who the opponent is, the first one drawn is Lyon.

Then, the last thing AC Milan wanted to happen happened.Just yesterday, Galliani also said: "The last thing we want to touch is Lyon. In fact, they are the strongest team." This is true. Milan is definitely unwilling to meet with Serie A teams. La Liga is dead, and I don't want to face the coquettish Lyon.

Judging from the record statistics of this year's Champions League from the start to the present, Lyon is currently the best among the remaining eight teams, and they have won 7 of the [-] games.

Although the number of goals is less than that of Barcelona and Real Madrid, no team can match the goal difference.Therefore, in terms of statistics, Lyon is the "leader" of the Champions League so far this season. It was also said earlier that Lyon competes for the championship every year, and no one can tell where its strength lies.

However, AC Milan did not really give up the game just because the opponent was Lyon.They still have their own advantages. Of course, other giants also have this advantage, because Lyon has been one of the poaching targets of European giants for a long time. The scouts, executives and even the head coach of each team will often watch Lyon games. It's no secret.Therefore, everyone can tell about the advantages and disadvantages of Lyon.

In one, Milan this time first guest before host, which is very favorable.In recent years, they have had a lot of good scenes of first guest and then host reversal.

However, AC Milan is more worried about the long-term, because if they can successfully get rid of Lyon, then in the semi-finals, they have a high chance of facing Barcelona.

Although Barcelona has been severely suppressed by Real Madrid recently, Barcelona, ​​which is currently No.1 in the world, must not be ignored.The two teams also faced each other last year. At that time, Barcelona had an advantage in ball possession. If it weren't for AC Milan's stronger defense, they might not have the chance to reverse Liverpool.

It seems that Milan has set the target on Barcelona so early, it seems a bit overbearing, but after all, the strength of Barcelona and Benfica is too different. Although there are no underdogs in the top eight, let alone the defending champion Liverpool eliminated by Benfica, but Barcelona is different For Liverpool, they have a strong dominance over any team that is weaker than them. Possession is really troublesome, but it is really powerful.

What's more, now there is an unknown Messi, the whole world is optimistic about Messi's future, although he is suppressed by the young man of Real Madrid in all statistics, but AC Milan can't take Kaka and fight Messi, right? Who is Nardinho going to?

Two games are scheduled. Although Lyon is not weak, everyone is still optimistic that the final team will be produced between Milan and Barcelona.

In the second half of the division, the real confrontation between Italy and Spain, UEFA really did not arrange a civil war at this time.

Juventus took the lead. When Gerrard drew the lottery, the club's CEO Giraludo kept talking about Villarreal. The whole world knows that there are three teams left, and the yellow submarine is easy to bully. .

It's a pity that Giraudo's prayers didn't work. The team he drew was Real Madrid, the last thing he wanted to meet.

Looking at the name printed on the big screen, the Italian's expression was extremely gloomy.

Facing the inquiries around him, he insisted on using the official answer: "At this stage, none of the teams that have reached the quarterfinals is easy to play, and everyone is similar, so there is nothing to comment on. Now I just I'm happy to have passed Bremen, that's the main thing."

Look, people's hearts are cold, it's enough to pass the Bremen barrier!

Real Madrid, which was so bad last year, was not killed. Can Real Madrid conquer this year?What an international joke.

Juventus is not afraid of anyone, but it shouldn't be so deceitful. What kind of story is it like to meet Real Madrid for two consecutive years.

Butragueno doesn't matter, whether it's Juventus or Inter Milan, Real Madrid must face a problem, that is defense, how to break the dense defense?

Of course, Butragueno doesn't need to worry about these, he just needs to smile and show confidence now.

In this way, the remaining two teams will be decided. Inter Milan will face Villarreal first at home and then away. Showing excellent defensive confidence, Inter Milan's offensive power will be tested.
