Chapter 1,077, Top 4!

In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the match between Real Madrid and Ajax was very difficult, and Real Madrid's old rival Barcelona played even more difficultly!

Barcelona's opponent is their old enemy Chelsea. Since the Stamford Bridge tragedy, the two clubs have been on the same page and have a very bad relationship.

Both teams are currently in poor shape in the league.

Barcelona is ranked third in the league. They are behind Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, and Sevilla and other teams behind them are also catching up. Barcelona's lead is not big. If they relax even a little bit, they are likely to be caught up by the teams behind them and lose their Champions League spot. This is something that Barcelona will never allow!

Therefore, in the league some time ago, Barcelona fought hard and tried to get three points in every game.

As a result, Barcelona's physical strength will be affected in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Chelsea's recent form is also very poor. They are currently only ranked sixth in the league, and they have the same points with seventh-placed Everton, only leading by goal difference. There are now internal reports that Abramovich has lost patience with Conte and is preparing to sack him after the season.

In this way, Conte's goal is clear-to do his best in the league and compete for the Champions League championship!

Anyway, next season has nothing to do with you, so whether you can get a European seat for next season is definitely not as important as competing for the Champions League this season.

Therefore, in the two Champions League games, Chelsea played Conte's best "mad dog play". They faced the powerful Barcelona, ​​so they were not afraid, bombarded Barcelona indiscriminately, ran without hesitation, and played against Barcelona. attack!

In these two games, Chelsea and Barcelona scored big scores. One game was 2-2 and one game was 4-3, which made many neutral fans excited.

Chelsea's forward combination of Lukaku and Morata performed well and contributed many goals to the team. In the end, Chelsea eliminated the powerful Barcelona with a total score of 6 to 5 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League!

After this game, Messi's tears made many Barcelona fans extremely sad. Their beloved team once again fell short of the Champions League.

So far, all the top four of the Champions League have been produced!

Manchester United and Chelsea from the Premier League, La Liga giants Real Madrid, and Bundesliga hegemon Bayern.

These four teams represent the top combat power in Europe this season. In the Champions League semi-finals, no matter which two teams meet, it will be a showdown of the century!

A few days later, the UEFA semi-final draw took place in Nyon.

UEFA has officially announced that starting from next season, UEFA's quarter-finals will be divided into upper and lower halves, and the Champions League semi-final draw will be cancelled. In other words, this is the last semi-final draw ceremony of the Champions League.

Before this draw, reporters interviewed the head coaches of their respective teams.

Conte said firmly: "Chelsea only has one Champions League title to compete for this season, and we will definitely go all out! The other three teams are very strong, and it will be difficult for anyone to deal with them!"

Heynckes looked very calm, but from his eyes, you can still see the old man's desire for this championship: "This is my last Champions League championship before I retire. I hope I can win it with a championship." A trophy to cap off my career.

If we were asked to choose an opponent, I might prefer to meet Chelsea. Their style of play is somewhat similar to Bayern, and I would rather play against them. "

Mourinho is still arrogant: "It doesn't matter who we meet, anyway, the final Champions League must be ours!"

And Jin Taige is also very confident: "Our goal is to win three consecutive Champions League titles. No matter who is drawn, the final victory will definitely be Manchester United!"

The head coaches of the four teams are all confident and looking forward to the upcoming Champions League semi-finals. In this case, the semi-final draw results were finally announced.

Chelsea vs Real Madrid!

Manchester United vs Bayern!

The result of this match was unexpected for many people, but it was also expected. After all, there are only four teams in total, and there are only a few simple possibilities for who will play against whom.

After the draw results came out, reporters immediately interviewed the head coaches of the four teams to hear their opinions.

When Conte learned that he was assigned to a group with Real Madrid, he frowned: "This result is the last thing I want to see! I would rather meet the more familiar seven-time champion Manchester United than Real Madrid. To be honest, Chelsea It is extremely difficult to qualify for the Champions League final. Our paper strength and the value of our players are not as good as Real Madrid. I have to admit this. But we are a fierce blue team. Facing the powerful Real Madrid, we will never admit defeat!"

A reporter in the back row whispered: "The term "Iron-Blooded Blues" was left to Chelsea by the current Real Madrid coach..."

When Mourinho was interviewed, he said the same words as Conte: "This result is also the last thing I want to see. I always feel uncomfortable playing against Chelsea wearing blue uniforms. . If possible, I really hope to never meet Chelsea on the court. But now that I have met, there is nothing I can do about it. Although I once fell in love, I am now the coach of Real Madrid and I will definitely try my best to win. No. Don’t take it personally. If I had eliminated Chelsea in the end, I would have felt sorry for Chelsea too.”

A reporter suddenly asked: "There are rumors that Conte will leave Chelsea this season. If Abramovich invites you to go back, will you agree?"

Upon hearing this, Mourinho's face suddenly darkened, and he said categorically: "I am the coach of Real Madrid now, and I am not interested in answering your question!"

Heynckes, who was drawn to Manchester United, still had a calm expression, but his tone sounded a little excited: "At the last moment of my coaching career, I can play against the best young coach in international football today. , I am very happy. There is no doubt that Jin Taige and the Manchester United coached by him are the most popular teams in Europe now. I believe that these two rounds of games will definitely be very exciting games. No matter which team advances, it will be Well deserved.”

A reporter suddenly asked: "Will you start Rooney in the Champions League game?"

Heynckes was stunned. He paused and then answered very cautiously: "It's hard to say. After all, the temporary situation of each game is different. Which player comes on depends on his condition at the time. Not only Rooney, but also other players." The same is true for players, so I can't answer this question for you. But I'm sure that as long as Rooney can be in excellent condition, then I will definitely give him a chance to play!"
