I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Manchester United reversed Sevilla 3:2, and thus double-killed their opponents with a score of 7:2 in the two rounds of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 knockout round, and advanced to the quarterfinals with their heads held high.

A day later, the last two Champions League quarter-finals were over.

Bayern Munich beat Besiktas 3:1 in the away game, thus eliminated the local super giants with a total score of 8:1 in two rounds, creating the largest score in the two rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals this season.

At the Nou Camp Stadium, Conte's Chelsea lost 0:3 to Barcelona without any suspense, and were swept out with a total score of 1:4 in the two rounds.

So far, the Champions League quarter-finals have all been released.

The Premier League is still the league with the most promoted teams. Five teams advanced to the knockout round, and three teams still broke into the quarter-finals. The London duo Chelsea and Tottenham were unfortunately eliminated.

Somewhat coincidentally, the three teams that advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League happened to be the three teams with the best record in the Premier League! Tottenham and Chelsea, ranked fourth and fifth in the league, were both eliminated.

It can be seen that at this stage, if you want to stay in the Champions League, you still have to rely on your strength.

Of the other five teams, the two heroes of the Western Super League accounted for two places. In Serie A, Juventus and Roma both advanced. Bayern, the only seedling in the top 16 of the Bundesliga, still stayed. Real Madrid double-killed in two rounds and were swept out with a total score of 2:5.

The quarter-finals of the Champions League have become the stage for the four major leagues. The rest of the league is completely reduced to spectators.

On the contrary, the UEFA Europa League presents a situation of competition. Currently, only four teams have entered the top eight from the four major leagues, namely 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 Ligue 1, Sporting Lisbon from Portuguese Super League, CSKA Moscow from Russian Super League, and Red Bull Salzburg from Austria.

………………

At 7:00 pm on March 16th, Beijing time, the eyes of fans all over the world are on Nyon, Switzerland. This season's Champions League quarter-final matchup will be played here.

For Manchester United, Ye Su did not go to Nyon to participate in the draw because he had an FA Cup game to play on Saturday night. The club CEO Santoku participated in the draw ceremony as a representative.

For this draw, Ye Su didn't care too much, because none of the remaining eight teams was weak, and now that there was no avoidance principle, Manchester United would be almost as good as anyone.

Of course, in general,

Roma is relatively weak among these eight teams, and is even called a big gift package by many people. Coupled with Manchester United's overall dominant historical record against Rome, many Manchester United fans hope to play against Rome.

However, Ye Su knew that Rome this season was not weak at all. In the group stage, the two games between Manchester United and the Red Wolves were not easy at all. One game was 5:3 and the other game was 4:2. The games were soul-stirring and the victories were terrifying.

Anyone who really regards Rome as a big gift package will definitely suffer enough.

In addition, people are more concerned about whether there will be a league civil war. After all, three teams from the Premier League made it to the quarter-finals, and two teams from the Western Premier League and Serie A each advanced. In terms of probability, the possibility of a civil war between the same league teams is very high.

Especially the unprecedentedly powerful Premier League team, the Manchester City duo plus Liverpool, the three clubs have the tendency to reproduce the Manchester United, Chelsea plus Arsenal or Liverpool ten years ago and dominate the Champions League.

Under such circumstances, with UEFA's urgency, 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 eyes of everyone, the match between the eight teams only took about ten minutes to settle. The final match-up situation is: Barcelona Vs Roma, Manchester United Vs Bayern Munich, Juventus Vs Real Madrid, Manchester City Vs Liverpool.

The four-pair 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 titles. Under the leadership of Ye Su and Rooney, the Red Devils have achieved a history of no team being able to defend the title after the restructuring of the Champions League.

This season, the Red Devils are unprecedentedly strong and invincible in the Premier League. They have achieved 69 unbeaten games and lead the second place by 4 points, which is also the extraordinary performance of Manchester City. In the League Cup, Manchester United has won. They also reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. With Manchester United's current posture, they have reproduced the 2015-2016 season Grand Slam.

Bayern is also the best in the league, which we will see in almost every Bundesliga season, the most important thing is that under the leadership of the old coach Heynckes, now Bayern has shown its strong Strength, and at the same time, unlike the disastrous defeat to Paris, the Southern Star has found its own best path, and Lewandowski, Muller, Wagner and others on the front line are also outstanding.

The match between Real Madrid and the old lady Juventus is also a super strong dialogue. Although Real Madrid fell at the feet of Manchester United in the Champions League finals in the previous two years, their strength is beyond doubt. After all, reaching the Champions League finals for two consecutive years is already a shocking achievement. And now they were eliminated by the underdogs in the Copa del Rey, and there is no hope of catching Barcelona in La Liga, so Zidane and Real Madrid's top management pin all their hopes on the Champions League, which is very similar to Arsenal in the Europa League.

Juventus has surpassed Naples by four points in Serie A. It gives people the feeling that no matter whether Roma or Naples is leading in front of them, the final Serie A champion is still Juventus. Juventus is also very experienced in the Champions League. Dybala is also in a very hot state recently. At the same time, fans also hope that Buffon can win a Champions League trophy before retiring.

Barcelona's draw to Roma has long been expected by Yesu, and it is also expected by countless fans all over the world.

Barcelona, ​​as the ruler of the Champions League in the years before Manchester United, the Cosmos team in the eyes of countless fans all over the world, has won five Champions League trophies so far. Messi in the team is in excellent condition and eliminated Chelsea in two rounds In the game, he scored three goals and assisted one goal, showing his big heart. And a super team like Barcelona is something that every team is unwilling to encounter. With the league championship relatively secure, Barcelona will also go all out in the Champions League.

Roma is considered by countless Barcelona fans to be the big gift team in the draw, because their overall strength is still slightly inferior compared to other teams, but there is no weak team that can reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Look at 16 into 8 I knew it in the game, even if they lose away, they can show their resilience at home to win the game.

The civil war between Manchester City and Liverpool, the Premier League team, will also be very exciting. Liverpool has 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 frontcourt is Their biggest killer, of course, although Uncle Zha's team's defense line unexpectedly poached the Senegalese central defender from the rival Manchester United, but the overall strength is still relatively weak.

This season's Manchester City has ushered in a big explosion. Under the leadership of Guardiola, the current Manchester City is no longer the previous team in the Champions League knockout round. Manchester City is considered to be one of the biggest favorites to win the Champions League. Judging from the lineup, Manchester City definitely has a chance. Of course, they still need to show their best abilities in games like the Champions League knockout rounds.

………………

An hour after the Champions League match was released, the Europa League draw also had its results. Arsenal, which is considered to be the only one in the Europa League, has drawn a fairly good lottery: they faced the Russian Super League giants CSKA Moscow.

Arsenal are quite satisfied with the result of this draw.

After the Europa League has become Arsenal's only hope this season, fans are turning their attention to their opponents in the Europa League.

Even Wenger, after being drawn to the Russian Super League team, was greatly relieved. After all, for him, the Europa League is already the key to whether he can stay in the Arsenal position. If he misses out on domestic trophies, Champions League seats, and the UEFA Europa League, then the fans will really rebel, and the club management may find it 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 a Champions League seat.

The other three matchups are RB Leipzig vs Marseille, Atletico Madrid vs Sporting Lisbon, and Lazio vs Red Bull Salzburg.

These few matchups are very interesting. They are all teams from the four major leagues. Against the teams outside the four major leagues, the points are quite even.

During the pre-match press conference for the FA Cup quarter-final against Brighton, Ye Su was asked about the Champions League and Europa League draws.

Ye Su originally didn't want to answer questions unrelated to the game at such a pre-match press conference, but after hesitating for a while, he still said a few simple 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 advance, 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 commotion.

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 in 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, which opened the prelude to the Real Madrid Champions League dynasty. From 1956 to 1960, Real Madrid completed five consecutive Champions League titles, directly laying their foundation as the best club in the 20th century. Although it has been a long time ago, and the gold content of the championship at that time was not as good as it is now, but these five consecutive championships are still a real honor, and it is almost impossible to replicate it.

In the early 1970s, another dynasty team was born, that is Ajax in the Netherlands. Under the leadership of the legendary star Cruyff, they completed 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 teams were their opponents on the scene. Ajax's total attack and total defense concept still has a huge impact on current football tactics.

Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich sit on the throne of European football after Ajax won three consecutive titles. Cruyff's lifelong enemy, Beckenbauer, led Bayern to dominate the Champions League for three consecutive years from 1974 to 1976 and completed the treble. They have also become the last team to complete the Champions League three consecutive years crown team. And the peerless double pride of Beckenbauer and Cruyff 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 team to successfully defend the Champions League.

It was precisely because of this that although Ye Su's words sounded shocking, no one dared to say that Ye Su was talking big, because the current Manchester United did have such strength. Not only are they invincible at home, but even if they look at Europe, or even the whole world, they have no opponents.

A reporter also asked about the big gift bag that Barcelona drew in the eyes of the fans. Ye Su joked that maybe after Barcelona opened the big gift bag, they would find that there was a time bomb inside, and then blow up Barcelona to pieces.

The FA Cup quarter-final against Brighton is the last match before the first national team match of the year. After the game, the international players of each national team flew to various parts of the world to participate in the warm-up matches of each national team.

When the World Cup in Russia is less than three months away, all the national teams that have entered Russia have already vigorously invested in the preparations for the World Cup.

And those national teams that failed to qualify for the World Cup finals are starting to train for the new competition.

Ye Su didn't spare the coaches of those national teams. In this FA Cup match against Brighton, Manchester United was at their best.

Brighton is not a weakling. As a newly promoted team, after 30 rounds in the Premier League, they are still ranked 11th in the standings, and their strength is already evident.

The biggest feature of this team is its stability. In the 30 rounds of the Premier League that have been played, they have basically won all the games they should win, but they have basically failed to score points in the games they should lose. The only game that can be called unpopular is the 29th round of the Premier League earlier this month, where they played at home. 2:1 Lectra Arsenal, it was a big upset.

Since there is such a precedent, Ye Su will be very careful not to let Manchester United follow in Arsenal's footsteps and be called a joke by the fans.

In the end, the elite Manchester United scored a goal each on the way to and from get off work. In the first half, De Bruyne assisted Harry Kane to make a contribution. In the second half, Luke Shaw assisted Rooney to help Manchester United seal the victory.
