Chapter 261: Paris Saint-Germain

   The Champions League quarter-finals match day is coming, and the world's most gold-rich top club competition is about to begin again.

   On the morning of April 1, the Schalke team left the Dusseldorf Airport and flew to the French capital Paris, where they will challenge Paris Saint-Germain, the new European tycoon who has become famous in the past two years.

   The name of the Saint-Germain team first reminds people of the Germans.

   Speaking of Germans, many people think of Germans, that is, Germans. Many people are natural and equate Germans with Germans.

   Therefore, the team name of Paris Saint-Germain really makes many people feel strange.

   If there is a team in Berlin called Saint-Germain, everyone will think it is normal, but the Paris team is named Saint-Germain, which is indeed a bit confusing.

   In fact, the Germans themselves were very early European natives. They were once known as the three European barbarians together with the Celts and Slavs. The Germans are not limited to Germans.

   In today's Europe, Germans, Austrians, English, Dutch, Swiss, Swedes, Norwegians, etc., are all descended from Germans.

   Speaking of, why the United Kingdom has been severely divided domestically. The main reason is that the English people are of Germanic descent, while the Scots and Irish people are of Celtic descent, and they are not of the same race.

   And the reason why the Celtics are so sparsely populated is because they have been slaughtered by the Germans for many years. The history of the rise of the Germans is the blood and tears of the Celtics.

   Although there are many Germans in Europe, the French are not included.

  The French themselves are also European natives. Strictly speaking, they are heavily Romanized Gauls and should be classified as Latins.

   But in the French capital, their most popular team is named Saint-Germain, which is really strange.

   In fact, the name Saint-Germain is just named after a local neighborhood in Paris.

   When Grand Paris was founded, there was already a team called Paris FC in Paris, so in order to distinguish them, they named it according to the Saint-Germain district where the team is located, called Paris Saint-Germain.

   Just like the London teams, some are called Chelsea, some are called Fulham, and some are called Tottenham, they are named after the local neighborhood.

   And the reason why the Saint-Germain block is called Saint-Germain is also not related to the Germans. The name of the Saint-Germain block is just to commemorate an archbishop named German Dauton, so it was named Saint-Germain.

  The saint of Saint-Germain refers to the neighborhood that is related to Saint-Germain.

To use an analogy, if there is a celebrity surnamed Han in a place in China, the locals will change the place name to Hancheng, Hanzhen or Hancun to commemorate him. This does not mean that this place belongs to Korea ever since. People.

On the evening of April 1, the Champions League quarter-finals were played for two games. The final result was that Barcelona drew 1:1 at Atletico Madrid and Manchester United drew Bayern at home 1:1. And the scores are exactly the same.

   At 8:45 pm on April 2nd, French time, the other two Champions League quarter-finals will start at the same time.

   At the Parc des Princes in Paris, both sides of the game are ready to go.

   Paris arranged a 433 formation at home,

   Goalkeeper: Siligou;

   Defenders: Maxwell, Thiago Silva, Alex, Christopher Yalai;

   Midfielder: Mota, Matuidi, Verrati;

   Forwards: Ravitch, Ibrahimovic, Cavani.

   Goalkeeper: Navas;

   Defenders: Kolasinac, Matip, Hévedes, Uchida Atsushi;

   Midfielder: Kanter, Neustadt, Kevin Boateng, Draxler;

   Forwards: Li Chenglong, Huntelaar.

   In an important game like the Champions League quarter-finals, Stevens did not arrange for Gretzka, a young teenager to start, instead let a more stable veteran play.

   "This is the first time the two teams have played against each other in the history of the European war, so we have no historical record of combat to compare." The commentators of various countries also talked about the game.

   "But if you simply compare the experience of the Champions League, Schalke 04 is the better side.

"The best results of the two teams in the Champions League are the semi-finals, but Paris Saint-Germain only achieved it once, and it was in the 1990s. For Schalke 04, they have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League twice in the last four seasons. Up."

"However, both teams are currently in the domestic league with stable results. Paris Saint-Germain is the stable first place in the Ligue 1 and Schalke 04 is the stable second place in the Bundesliga, so they don’t need to be too distracted by the domestic league. It was rotated during the weekend league."

   Although Paris Saint-Germain became famous in the world after the Qatar tycoons took over in the last two years, in France, they have long been one of the two most successful teams in Ligue 1 and they have many fans.

The French Ligue 1 teams have always had poor results in the European war. In decades of European war history, they have only won two championships. One is Marseille won the Champions League in 1993, and the other is Paris Saint-Germain won in 1996. European Cup Winners Cup champion.

   It's sad to say that as one of the five major leagues, they have not even managed to gather the three major cup championships.

   So Saint-Germain who has won the Cup Winners' Cup~www.NovelMTL.com~ is also located in Paris, the capital of France, a famous big city in the world, and naturally has a large number of fans in China.

   The national derby of the French League is played between Marseille and Paris Saint-Germain.

   Now that Paris is rich, the goal is naturally not limited to dominating Ligue 1.

   What they want more is the Champions League, the highest honor of the European club.

   But what they need to do at present is to try to tie the team history record first, and strive to reach the Champions League semi-finals led by George Weah.

   In the Champions League quarter-finals last season, they were unlucky enough to meet Real Madrid, but it is normal to fail, because Real Madrid is obviously stronger than Paris.

   But this time they met Schalke 04 in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. This is their chance, at least in Paris.

   They are on the dominant side. As long as they play their due strength, they can eliminate Schalke and enter the Champions League semi-finals after many years.

   In this game, many celebrities came from the stands of the Parc des Princes, the former French President Nicolas Sarkozy and a bunch of French politicians, and many French celebrities.

   In addition, the Brazilian national team coach Scolari and the French national team coach Deschamps, the two are also in the stands to observe the players, preparing for the upcoming World Cup.

   With a whistle from the Serbian referee Marzic, Paris Saint-Germain's home game against Schalke 04's Champions League quarter-final match officially kicked off.
