I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils - Chapter 399
Manchester United reversed Sevilla 3:2, and in the two rounds of the Champions League one-eighth knockout, they beat their opponents with a score of 7:2 and advanced to the quarterfinals.
One day later, the last two Champions League quarter-finals ended.
Bayern Munich defeated Besiktas 3:1 in the away game and eliminated the local super giants with a total score of 8:1 in the two rounds, creating the biggest score in the two rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals this season.
At the Nou Camp, Conte’s Chelsea defeated Barcelona with 0:3 without any suspense, and the total score of the two rounds was swept out of the game with a total score of 1:4.
At this point, the Champions League quarter-finals are all released.
The Premier League is still the league with the most teams promoted. Five of them advanced to the knockout rounds. Three teams still made it to the quarter-finals. The London duo Chelsea and Tottenham were unfortunately eliminated.
Some coincidence is that the three teams that have advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League are just the three teams with the best records in the Premier League! Tottenham and Chelsea, ranked fourth and fifth in the league, were both eliminated.
This shows that at this stage, if you want to stay in the Champions League, you still have to look at your strength.
For the other five teams, the Western Super League doubles accounted for two places. Serie A was promoted by Juventus and Roma. The Bundesliga’s single seed Bayern in the top 16 also remained. Only Ligue 1 was the poorest, and Paris was the most miserable. Real Madrid double-killed in two rounds and was swept out of the game with a total score of 2:5.
The quarter-finals of the Champions League have become the stage of the four major leagues. The rest of the league is completely reduced to spectators.
However, the UEFA Europa League is in a situation of competition. At present, there are only four teams that have entered the quarter-finals. They are Arsenal in the Premier League, Atletico Madrid in La Liga, Lazio in Serie A and RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. . The remaining four teams are Marseille from the French Ligue 1, Sporting Lisbon from the Portuguese Super League, CSKA Moscow from the Russian Super League, and Red Bull Salzburg from Austria.
………
At 7 o’clock in the evening on March 16th, Beijing time, the world’s fans all turned their attention to Switzerland’s Nyon. This season’s Champions League quarter-final match will be drawn here.
For Manchester United, Ye Su did not go to Nyon to participate in the draw because there was a FA Cup game to play on Saturday night. The club’s CEO Santoko participated in the draw as a representative.
For this draw, Ye Su didn’t care too much, because none of the remaining eight teams were weak, and there was no evasion principle at the moment, and Manchester United met almost everyone.
Of course, in general, Roma is relatively weak among these eight teams, and even called a big gift package by many people. Coupled with Manchester United’s overall dominant historical record against Roma, many Manchester United fans hope to face Roma.
However, Ye Su knows that Rome this season is not weak at all. In the group stage, Manchester United played two games against the Red Wolves. It was not easy at all. One game was 5:3 and the game was 4:2. The games were full of energy, and the wins were all feared.
If anyone really treats Rome as a big gift, it will definitely suffer enough.
In addition, people are more concerned about whether there will be a civil war in the league. After all, there are three Premier League teams reaching the quarter-finals, and the Western Super League and Serie A each have two advancements. In terms of probability, the possibility of a civil war between the same league teams may be very large.
Especially the unprecedentedly powerful Premier League team, Manchester City duo plus Liverpool, the three clubs have reproduced the trend of Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal or Liverpool ten years ago to dominate the Champions League.
Under such circumstances, with UEFA’s urination, in order to avoid the situation where there are three Premier League teams in the Champions League semi-finals, the possibility of a civil war among the Premier League teams is almost 100%.
………
Under the attention of the public, the match between the eight teams was settled in just ten minutes. The final matchup is: Barcelona Vs Roma, Manchester United Vs Bayern Munich, Juventus Vs Real Madrid, Manchester City Vs Liverpool.
The four duel, the super dialogue between Manchester United and Bayern Munich is undoubtedly the most eye-catching. Manchester United is the winner of the last two Champions League champions. Under the leadership of Ye Su and Rooney, the Red Devils have achieved the history of the Champions League restructuring that no team can defend their title.
This season, the Red Devils are unprecedentedly strong and invincible in the Premier League. They have scored 69 unbeaten games and are ahead of second place. Manchester City is also an extraordinary performer by 4 points. In the League Cup, Manchester United has won. They also reached the FA Cup quarter-finals. With Manchester United’s current posture, they have reproduced the 2015-2016 season’s grand slam.
Bayern is also the best in the league. This is what we will see in almost every Bundesliga season. The most important thing is that under the leadership of coach Heynckes, now Bayern has shown its strength. Strength, and at the same time different from the original defeat to Paris, the Southern Star has found its own best path, and Lewand, Muller, Wagner and others are also outstanding on the striker.
The matchup between Real Madrid and the old woman Juventus is also a super strong dialogue. Although Real Madrid fell under Manchester United in the previous two years of Champions League finals, their strength is unquestionable. After all, they have reached the Champions League finals for two consecutive years, which is already a shocking achievement. And now they are eliminated by the underdogs in the Copa del Rey, there is no hope of catching up with Barcelona in La Liga, so Zidane and Real Madrid’s top executives pin all their hopes in the Champions League, which is very similar to Arsenal in the Europa League.
Juventus has surpassed Naples by four points in Serie A. It feels like no matter whether the leader is Rome or Naples, the final Serie A champion is still Juventus. Juventus is also very experienced in the Champions League. Dybala is also very popular recently. At the same time, fans also hope that Buffon can get a Champions League trophy before retiring.
Barcelona’s draw to Roma has long been expected by Ye Su, as well as by countless fans all over the world.
Barcelona, as the ruler of the Champions League in the previous years before Manchester United, the universe team in the eyes of countless fans all over the world, has won five Champions League trophies, and Messi in the team is in excellent condition and eliminated Chelsea in the two rounds. In the game, he scored three goals and assisted one goal alone, showing his big heart. And a super strong team like Barcelona is unwilling to encounter every team. In the case of a relatively safe league championship, Barcelona will also go all out in the Champions League.
Roma is considered by countless Barcelona fans to be a big gift team in the draw, because their overall strength is still slightly inferior to other teams, but there is no weak team to reach the Champions League quarterfinals. Look at 16 to 8 Known in the game, even if they lose away games, they can show their resilience at home to win the game.
The civil war between Manchester City and Liverpool against the Premier League team will also be very exciting. Liverpool finally entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League after many years. The ups and downs of a few years have kept them away from the Champions League and even the European arena. However, under the leadership of Klopp, the Red Army that shocked European football is back. The attacking group in the front field is Their biggest killer, of course, although Uncle Zha’s team defense line unexpectedly dug the Senegalese defender from his arch rival Manchester United, the overall strength is still relatively weak.
This season’s Manchester City ushered in a big outbreak. Under Guardiola’s leadership, Manchester City is no longer the previous UEFA Champions League knockout round team. Manchester City is considered to be one of the biggest champions of this UEFA Champions League. From the lineup point of view, Manchester City definitely has a chance. Of course, they still need to show their best ability in a competition like the Champions League knockout.
………
One hour after the UEFA Champions League match, the Europa League draw also came out. Arsenal, which is considered the only player in the Europa League, won a fairly good draw: they are against CSKA Moscow, the giants of the Russian Super League.
Arsenal are also quite satisfied with the result of this draw.
After the Europa League has become Arsenal’s only hope this season, fans have set their sights on their opponents in the Europa League.
Even Wenger breathed a sigh of relief after being drawn to the Russian Super League team. After all, for him, the Europa League is already the key to whether he can continue to stay in the Arsenal position. If you miss the trophy in the domestic competition and the Champions League seat, and then miss the Europa League championship, then the fans are really going to rebel, and the club management, I am afraid it will be difficult to support him.
And if Arsenal can win the Europa League, it will not only solve the embarrassment of not having a championship, but also save the problem of Champions League seats.
The other three matchups are RB Leipzig vs. Marseille, Atletico Madrid vs. Sporting Lisbon, and Lazio vs. Salzburg Red Bull.
These matchups are very interesting. They are all teams in the four major leagues, and the points are fairly even for teams outside the four major leagues.

In the pre-match press conference of the FA Cup quarter-final against Brighton, the reporter asked Ye Suti about the draw of the Champions League and the Europa League.
Ye Su didn’t want to answer questions unrelated to the game at such a pre-match press conference, but after hesitating for a while, he simply said a few words. On the one hand, he said that Bayern is a strong opponent and it is not easy for Manchester United to advance, but he is confident to lead Manchester United to the promotion because his goal is to lead Manchester United to become the fourth team in the history of the Champions League to win three consecutive championships. .
Ye Su’s words caused a huge sensation.
As Ye Su said, if Manchester United can achieve three consecutive championships, it will be the fourth team in the history of the Champions League.
The first European Champions Cup of the 1955-1956 season officially opened. At that time, there were only 16 participating teams. Real Madrid led by Di Stefano defeated Reims in the final to win the championship, kicking off the Real Madrid Champions League dynasty. From 1956 to 1960, Real Madrid completed five consecutive Champions League titles, which directly laid the foundation for them as the best club of the 20th century. Although the age has been relatively long, the gold content of the champions at that time was not as good as it is now, but these five consecutive championships are still real honors, and it is almost impossible to copy.
In the early 1970s, another dynasty team turned out to be the Dutch Ajax. Under the leadership of legendary star Cruyff, they completed their three consecutive Champions League titles from 1971 to 1973. At that time, Ajax was one of the most dominant teams in history. They also won 5 championships in 1972, and almost no other team was their opponent on the scene. Ajax’s concept of full offense and full defense still has a huge impact on current football tactics.
After three consecutive Ajax titles, the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich took the throne of European football. Cruyff’s lifelong enemy, Beckenbauer, led Bayern to dominate the Champions League for three consecutive years from 1974 to 1976, and completed the triple crown. They have also become the last team to complete the Champions League three consecutive championships so far. Team. And Beckenbauer and Cruyff’s peerless twin arrogance has also become the most classic drama in football in the 1970s.
After the restructuring of the Champions League in 1992, it became more difficult to win the championship. Last season, Manchester United became the first successful defending team in the restructuring of the Champions League.
It is precisely because of this that although Ye Su’s remark sounds a bit shocking, no one dares to say that Ye Su is talking big, because the current Manchester United does have this strength. Not only are they invincible at home, even if they look at Europe or even the whole world, they have no rivals.
Some reporters also asked about Barcelona’s gift package Roma that Barcelona has drawn to the fans. Ye Su joked that perhaps Barcelona would find that after opening this gift package, it was a time bomb, and then exploded Barcelona into a mess.

The FA Cup quarter-final with Brighton is the last game before the first national team game this year. After the game, the internationals of various national teams changed to fly around the world to participate in the warm-up matches of various national teams.
Less than three months away from the World Cup in Russia, all the national teams that entered Russia, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, have already vigorously invested in the preparations for the World Cup.
And those national teams that failed to get a place in the World Cup finals are beginning to train for the new competition.
Ye Su did not spare the national team coaches. In this FA Cup match against Brighton, Manchester United is the best.
Brighton is not an underdog. As newly promoted, they are still ranked 11th in the standings after 30 rounds of the Premier League. Their strength is already evident.
The biggest feature of this team is stability. In the 30 Premier League rounds that have been played, they have basically won the games they should win, but the games they should lose also have basically failed to score points. The only game that can be called an upset was the 29th round of the Premier League earlier this month, where they played at home. 2:1 Lectra Arsenal, it can be regarded as a small upset.
Since there is such a precedent, Ye Su will be very careful not to let Manchester United follow in Arsenal’s footsteps, which is called the joke of the fans.
In the end, the elite Manchester United scored a goal each during the commute, De Bruyne assisted Harry Kane in the first half, and Luke Shaw assisted Rooney in the second half to help Manchester United secure the victory.
