After Valencia's home game against Bratislava, Aiello celebrated briefly with his teammates before entering the locker room because he wanted to know about Manchester United's away game against Benfica that was also being played in Portugal. match results.
"Brother Diving, Rooney, you have to work hard."
Under Aiello's murmur, he opened UEFA's official website on his mobile browser.
In an instant, his attention was attracted by a piece of news: "In a focus battle in Group D of the UEFA Champions League in the 2006 season, Villarreal, playing at home, narrowly defeated French Ligue 1 team Lille with a goal. " How could the game I went to play against Villarreal and Lille compare to the focus of Manchester United and Benfica?
Isn't this a trap?
It was only now that Aiello discovered that UEFA was also a headline-grabber.
What a waste of feelings Aiello continued to scroll down and saw another red headline: "In another focus game of Group D, Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice to help the team reverse Benfica 3-2 with difficulty." call After seeing this result, Ai Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After reading the title, he was immediately attracted by Cristiano Ronaldo's two goals.
He continued reading, "Cristiano Ronaldo took advantage of a direct free kick in the 78th minute and a penalty kick in the 89th minute.
His long-range shot helped the team turn around.”
Not easy Thinking of Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney whom I saw in Beijing this year, they were really a thin man and a fat man.
He shook his head.
Anyway, it’s good to win.
In order to express his gratitude for Manchester United's difficult group qualifying, he sent a congratulatory text message to Rooney and Ronaldo respectively.
All six rounds of the Champions League group stage have ended, and all 16 teams that have entered the top 16 of the 2006 UEFA Champions League have been born.
However, this year's top 16 is a bit different from previous years.
Why Because the five teams that qualified for second place in each group of this year's Champions League are world-class giants.
They are Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Inter Milan.
Therefore, after the group stage ended, not only the mainstream sports newspapers in Europe began to analyze frantically, but also the sports media from other continents that paid attention to the UEFA Champions League also began to analyze the draw of the next 18 finals.
For Valencia, they only need to worry about whether they will run into Chelsea and Manchester United, because according to the relevant rules of UEFA, the draw of the 18th finals stipulates that teams from the same Football Association and group stage opponents will be drawn in this draw.
It is impossible to encounter it.
Therefore, there are only two other powerful opponents to worry about.
However, Aiello knows that Real Madrid will definitely meet Arsenal in the 18th final, and Barcelona will definitely be in the same group due to their grievances with Chelsea last season.
This is UEFA's unspoken rule in the draw, and there will basically be no difference. .
Ai Luo is worried about whether they will draw the Red Devils and Manchester United.
What if they really draw Manchester United?
Valencia Sport, the best-selling local newspaper from Valencia, is also analyzing the draw for the 18-finals of the 2050 UEFA Champions League that will be held by UEFA four days later at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
"This season's UEFA Champions League group stage is all over, but the smoke from the group stage has not cleared away.
UEFA will start drawing lots for the 18th final starting next year.
Although Valencia qualified first in Group H, they successfully Avoided the first place in each group, but this year's Champions League small The group stage is a bit special.
Why is it special?
Because after the end of this year's Champions League group stage, there are five world-class giants ranked second in the group.
They are Bayern Munich in Group A, Manchester United in Group D, Real Madrid in Group F, and Group G.
Chelsea and Inter Milan in Group H, so” "Throw away the draw-avoidance principle of the Champions League 18, that is to say, throw away Real Madrid and Inter Milan in the same group, that is, Bayern Munich in Group A, Manchester United in Group D and Chelsea in Group G are left.
No opponent can be underestimated, although Bayern Munich is The old and the new take over, but they cannot be underestimated, let alone Manchester United.
Under the leadership of Ferguson, they have always been a strong contender for the Champions League title, and the last one, Chelsea, is even more difficult to mess with.
They have the title of international mercenary. , and even eliminated Barcelona in the 18th final last season.”
After analyzing and analyzing, in the end, I still think that Valencia's games are not easy to play.
Throw away these three giants, and the remaining Werder Bremen, Ajax and Eindhoven are not weaklings.
After all, how many teams can stand out from the group stage are easy to pinch?
When it comes to the knockout rounds, no one wants to lose.
In fact, not only the sports media in Valencia are analyzing Valencia's opponents in the Champions League 18 finals, but the media in China, thousands of miles away, are also analyzing, but what they are analyzing is not the chance of competing with these giants.
Instead, we analyze the odds of the Champions League Chinese Derby.
Valencia vs Ajax Valencia vs Werder Bremen After the Champions League group stage ended, all kinds of headlines became rampant on newsstands, and even fact-based newspapers that had nothing to do with sports got involved in this event.
The headline of this issue of Football News reads like this: UEFA is organizing "Chinese players in the Champions League derby."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Not to mention, the analysis by this Football News makes sense.
The text reads: "As a global The UEFA Champions League, the country with the largest number of fans and the most commercially mature, cannot abandon this big piece of cake in China and then In addition, the current UEFA president Lennart Johansson has a close relationship with China.
As allowed by the rules, in the draw ceremony of the Champions League 18 finals, Valencia was drawn to Ajax, which also had Chinese players.
It is not impossible to compete with Werder Bremen.
After all, the amount of money attracted by the UEFA Champions League is there, so it is impossible to give up.”
And readers who bought this issue of Football News all subconsciously said: Damn it Indeed, the Chinese market is very attractive to UEFA.
It is not impossible to host a Champions League derby with Chinese players.
It just depends on whether they want to.
Before the draw for the UEFA Champions League 18-finals has even begun, the mainstream media in Europe are speculating on the next match-ups in the UEFA Champions League 18-finals.
Not to mention, both sides of the match have been speculated by various media.
The most eye-catching one was the headline of the World Sports Newspaper that day, "Kneel down and beg Chelsea."
After all the Champions League group matches were over, Mundo Deportivo began to do a survey.
Surprisingly, it was discovered that Catalan fans chose Chelsea as their opponent, accounting for 44 of them.
This choice even exceeded the Eredivisie.
Ajax and PSV combined.
Among them, World Sports News mentioned this wish to draw a lot, but also did not forget to ridicule Valencia, "Like thousands of Barcelona fans, we all hope that Barcelona can draw Chelsea.
Why is it because we want to achieve success in football?"
Revenge, because being eliminated last season is unfair.
Compared to Valencia who are picking weak persimmons to play, we are more confident in our own strength.
Without strength, there is no football.
This is the confidence of our Barcelona."
Therefore, Valencia also had to lie down and get shot.
Since there was no game in Valencia before the draw, the team was undergoing restorative training, and technical and tactical training was only performed for about ten minutes a day, because the coaches all knew that Christmas was approaching and the players' mentality was early.
It’s not about the game, they want to go where and where to play when the winter break begins.
After all, you have worked hard for half a season and have nearly half a month of rest.
Why don’t you have some fun?
Combining work and rest is the way to go At noon on the 16th, after Valencia ended its training for the day, club president Soler, head coach Flores and captain Canizares boarded a plane to Nyon, Switzerland, to attend the game that evening.
The draw ceremony for the 18th final of the UEFA Champions League in the 0506 season.
At seven o'clock that evening, the 18th final of the 2050 UEFA Champions League knockout rounds officially began in the Exhibition Hall 1 of Nyon, Switzerland, UEFA headquarters.
The draw ceremony was hosted by UEFA CEO Olsson.
The venue first played two short films, a clip of the first Champions League final 50 years ago and a brief review of the current group stage.
Afterwards, the Director of UEFA Club Competitions announced the draw rules: Teams belonging to the same football association cannot meet; teams in the same group cannot meet again; teams with the same ranking in the group stage cannot meet; the team ranked second in the group stage plays home first.
After the announcement, UEFA CEO Olsson began to draw lots.
The first red ball drawn was Chelsea.
Immediately, the scene was in an uproar.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Barcelona's President Laporta and head coach Frank Rijkaard.
What people expected was that Facchetti, who was the guest of the draw, had a strange look when he drew the green ball. smile.
Immediately afterwards, the green ball with Barcelona's English letters was announced.
Wow The scene is boiling What's interesting is that head coach Rijkaard and captain Puyol celebrated with high fives after learning the draw results, as if this was not the draw ceremony of the Champions League 18th final, but the victory of the game.
The next draw was Real Madrid, and their opponent was the Premier League giant Arsenal.
Werder Bremen drew Juventus Seeing this, countless Chinese fans began to feel sorry.
The next one drawn is Bayern Munich, and their opponent is AC Milan.
"Ai, who do you think our opponent will be?"
The draw on TV had already decided four games.
When there were four other games left, David Villa asked a little nervously.

"Hey, I want to play against a strong team."
At this moment, the third world-class giant Manchester United, which Valencia might encounter, appeared on the TV.
"No way," David Villa said in surprise, "You don't want to touch Manchester United, do you?"
Iroh didn't speak, just nodded.
"Fuck, put your crow's mouth away" At this time, the boss Marchena quickly covered Ai Luo's mouth, and at the same time he did not forget to say the Chinese proverb he learned from Navarro, "Children's words are not forbidden, children's words are not forbidden."
"The last powerful giant, Manchester United, has been drawn, so who will be their opponent next?"
Facchetti, the guest of the draw, took out one of the four remaining red balls from the red box.
Valencia s: Three updates, please recommend:
