I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 346: The spree goes online

Latest website: After winning the crucial battle with Manchester City, the whole Manchester United team took a plane that night and rushed to the UAE in the Middle East to prepare for the Club World Cup semi-finals three days later.

Ye Su did not go to the Middle East with the team, but flew to Nyon, Switzerland. The UEFA Champions League round of 16 draw will be held at noon the next day. Ye Su will be the representative of Manchester United to attend the round of 16 draw ceremony.

This season's Champions League group stage, the top five in the Premier League can be said to dominate the Champions League. All five teams advance to the knockout round as the first in the group. The result of this is that Premier League teams basically do not need to consider any avoidance principles in the Champions League, that is, avoid the team that is second in the group.

However, there is no shortage of super giants among the teams that advanced to the top 16 in the group. For example, the Galaxy Battleship Real Madrid, Ronaldo's team performed poorly during the group stage, and was pressured by Tottenham. Another example is the Nantah King Bayern Munich and the old woman Juventus. The former was squeezed to second place in the group by Paris, while the latter was crushed by Messi's Barcelona.

Marchetti, director of UEFA's competition department, presided over the draw, and Harvey Alonso, who had won twice, served as the guest of the draw. The principle of the lottery is that the group is the first against the second place of the other groups, but the same football association team must avoid. The second-ranked team in the group stage will play home first.

………………

The Manchester United team qualified for the first place. Due to the principle of avoiding the same group and the same country, Manchester United could not draw Rome. Therefore, the Red Devils originally had 7 potential opponents, namely Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Sevilla, Miners, Basel and Porto. In the end, Manchester United successfully avoided the three powerful rivals of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus.

The remaining four potential opponents are very close in strength. Considering that the expedition to Shakhtar Donetsk in February should be considered the most difficult away game, Manchester United also managed to avoid this opponent.

In fact, the most ideal situation, of course, is to draw Basel or Porto to the two non-big five league teams. But the final draw to Sevilla can also be counted as a sign.

Manchester United hadn't played against Sevilla much, but in recent seasons, the number of encounters between the two sides has suddenly increased.

In the 2014-2015 season, the two sides met in the Europa League semi-finals; at the beginning of the 2016-2017 season, the two sides met again in the European Super Cup, and then they fell in love in the quarterfinals.

This season, the two sides have been teamed up in the Champions League round of sixteen. This is the sixth time the two sides have played against each other in the past three years.

Many fans ridiculed that this is a duel between the Champions League hegemon and the Europa League hegemon. Manchester United have won the Champions League in the first two seasons, while Sevilla has won the Europa League twice in the past four seasons.

However, Sevilla failed to win the championship for two years. Once they lost to Manchester United in the semi-finals of the 2014-2015 season, and the other time they participated in the Champions League last season. They met Manchester United in the round of 16. Manchester United was eliminated by a big score of 7:2 in the two rounds.

Having been eliminated by Manchester United three times in a row, Manchester United is already the de facto sufferer of Sevilla. Sevilla is already a little afraid of meeting Manchester United.

Some third-party fans ridiculed Sevilla, in fact, they should compete for third place in the UEFA Champions League group stage, and then continue to the Europa League arena to dominate.

Now that they have worked so hard to break into the Champions League knockouts and encounter a super enemy like Manchester United, they are likely to have another round of the Champions League knockouts.

And Manchester United, as the first defending team after the restructuring of the Champions League, they are still one of the favorites to win the Champions League this season. Now they are facing Sevilla, who has performed in general in the Champions League, and they have taken another step towards the Champions League three consecutive championships!

………………

In fact, it is not just Manchester United that draws a good sign for the Premier League team. Their city rivals Manchester City also have a good sign. They were drawn to the Swiss team Basel. In terms of Manchester City's strength and the state of this season, this is undoubtedly a signing.

In fact, according to the principle of avoiding the same group and the same national team, in the non-seeded team, Manchester City may encounter the three super giants of Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus. Compared with these three "bombs", in addition The four teams (the miners avoiding the same group in the same group are Sevilla, Basel, Porto and Roma are relatively easy to play, and the most ideal "soft persimmon" is Basel.

Unexpectedly, when this was signed, Blue Moon really got the draw.

This is the fifth time Manchester City has entered the Champions League knockout round. In the 2013-2014 season, Manchester City entered the Champions League knockout round for the first time. In the round of 16 they drew the "cosmic team" Barcelona. With Manchester City's strength and Champions League experience at the time, it was naturally unable to compete with Barcelona. To contend, the total score of the two rounds of 1:4 was eliminated.

Unfortunately, in the 2014-2015 season, Manchester City met Barcelona again in the Champions League round of 16 and was eliminated again.

Having met Barcelona for two consecutive seasons, Manchester City's luck is really terrible.

Time came to the 2015-2016 season, Manchester City ushered in good luck, Blue Moon drew Dynamo Kyiv in the knockout rounds, and after a smooth pass, they beat Paris Saint-Germain and entered the semi-finals. In the semifinals, Manchester City lost to Real Madrid.

Reaching the semi-finals is also Manchester City's best Champions League result so far.

Last season, because Manchester City only got fifth in the Premier League the previous season, Guardiola can only play in the Europa League after coming to the Premier League.

However, this also allowed Blue Moon to win the European War trophy again after winning the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1970. And Guardiola is also able to appear in the Champions League because of this UEFA Champions League when he only finished fifth in the Premier League.

As soon as the result of the draw tonight comes out, I believe that the Manchester City club, including Manchester City fans, will breathe a sigh of relief.

Compared with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and even compared with Porto and Sevilla ~ www.readwn.com~ Draw Basel is an even better result.

For the other three Premier League teams, Chelsea also got a good lottery. Their opponent was Shakhtar Donetsk. Liverpool’s lottery was also not bad. They faced Portugal’s Porto. Only Tottenham was more sad and met with Serie A class fighter Juventus. Tus.

The other three duels were Barcelona vs. Rome, Real Madrid vs. Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich vs. Besiktas.

Although Bayern Munich was squeezed to second place in the group by Paris Saint-Germain in the group stage, they did not expect to be able to mention Besiktas, the biggest gift package of the round of 16. On the contrary, it was Paris Saint-Germain who worked so hard to grab the first place in the group, and suffered the Champions League first giant Real Madrid.

Luck is really hard to guess!

As for Barcelona, ​​the fans of the Universe think that they also got a big gift package.

Although Roma is a Serie A team, they performed very poorly during the group stage. In the end, Manchester United defeated Atletico Madrid and were lucky enough to advance to the knockout rounds.
