"Barcelona!"

When the lottery draw was drawn out of Barcelona during the live TV broadcast, the Manchester United players' rest area suddenly became in an uproar.

Immediately afterwards, everyone turned their eyes to Cristiano Ronaldo.

With the departure of players such as Van Nistrui, Roy Keane and Alan Smith who are not against the Portuguese, and with their outstanding performance in the past two seasons, Ronaldo has gradually become an important player for Manchester United.

Especially this season, he has even become the team's undisputed number one star and a flag-like figure.

Although there was some controversy in the Manchester United locker room about the match between him and Yang Yang, they all supported it unanimously.

The controversy is whether it is to be so high-profile.

However, now, when UEFA draws Barcelona for Liverpool, Manchester United players are all surprised.

This is like a wonderful assist sent by UEFA to Manchester United.

"It's too timely!" Nani laughed. He was a Portuguese and naturally supported Ronaldo. "When Liverpool is asked to meet Barcelona at this time, the schedule will be quite unfavorable to Liverpool."

Everyone nodded, and some even went to see the schedule.

Liverpool's luck has not been ideal since the Champions League quarterfinals, because they drew Inter Milan in the quarterfinals.

Among the eight teams in the second place in the knockout stage, Arsenal is a Premier League team, which Liverpool cannot encounter, and among the remaining seven teams, the strongest one is Inter Milan.

In contrast, in other Premier League teams, Chelsea is Olympiacos, Manchester United is Lyon, Arsenal, the second-place in the group, met AC Milan, and Liverpool, the first-place in the group, has even worse signing than Arsenal, the second-place in the group.

This situation has not changed at all in the quarterfinals knockout stage. Liverpool actually met the powerful Barcelona, ​​which is definitely another desperate fight.

In the two consecutive rounds of knockout rounds, Liverpool's luck is really no one else.

Manchester United draws Roma, the team is not strong enough. Last season, Liverpool was beaten up by blood, and the Red Devils won it. Arsenal met Schalke Zero Four from the Bundesliga, and Chelsea had better luck and met Fenerbahce of Turkey.

The Blues' luck is really good. They draw the weakest team in both rounds of group stages. Whether it is Olympiacos or Fenerbahce, it is impossible to create problems for Chelsea unless the Blues are really bad.

"You see, between the 33rd round of the Champions League quarter-finals knockout match, Liverpool will play Arsenal away." Carrick looked through the league schedule, and the result brought another excellent news.

When everyone in the Manchester United locker room heard this, they became even more excited.

"Fight Inter Milan first, then Barcelona, ​​and then Arsenal. Will Liverpool be in trouble recently?"

"Who said no? Who can stand it when it comes to playing like this continuously?"

"I guess if Liverpool is not careful, he will probably fall behind in this schedule."

"Yang Yang must now regret agreeing to Cristiano's challenge."

"This is simply a devil's schedule. Anyone who encounters such a schedule will be overwhelming."

"Don't forget that Liverpool's bench is not strong either."

"However, Barcelona's condition has not been very good recently, and Rijkaard's team may not be able to beat Liverpool."

"The lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Barcelona is in poor form, they are the top European teams. And they have lost La Liga now and will definitely concentrate all their efforts to play in the Champions League, which is even worse for Liverpool."

"Yes, this kind of continuous playing with strong teams will have a great test for the team."

"From the current situation of the match, we, Chelsea and Arsenal are very likely to advance. If Liverpool can also advance, the Champions League semi-finals this season will be won by Premier League teams."

...

In the locker room, my teammates discussed it in words and words.

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't say a word throughout the whole process, but this did not mean that he had no idea.

Liverpool was still very happy to draw the draw, because this means that the appointment between him and Yang Yang will increase the possibility of winning, because Yang Yang will have to be distracted by the Champions League game and will consume more.

On the other hand, Manchester United is sure to win against Roma.

And he also felt a vague feeling in his heart that this time was a rare and an excellent opportunity to defeat Yang Yang.

The best result is that Liverpool lost to Barcelona, ​​Yang Yang was hit hard, losing the league championship and the scorer king in succession, while Ronaldo himself successfully counterattacked and won the championship in one fell swoop.

Due to his understanding of Yang Yang over the past few years, Luo Xiao felt that this possibility was not very high.

Judging from the situation this season, Liverpool is obviously more attentive to the competition for the league championship, because they have won two Champions Leagues in the past three years, but have not been involved in the league championship in nearly two decades, and the league is more urgent for them.

Therefore, even if the Champions League performance is not ideal, Liverpool will definitely do its best to keep the league.

Besides, Yang Yang has never been a fragile person.

But no matter what, Xiao Xiao Luo felt that adding some problems to Yang Yang is also a good thing.

"You must not lose this duel too early, otherwise it will be boring." Little Luo murmured to himself, looking out the window.

Liverpool draws Barcelona!

This sign shocked the entire European football world and even the world's fans.

There are even some conspiracy theories that UEFA is deliberately creating problems for Liverpool and trying to prevent the Reds from defending their title.

Everyone knows that Liverpool is the strongest team in European football this season and is also the best at playing cup games. It has won two Champions Leagues in the past three years. If the title is successfully defended this season, it will create history since the reform of the Champions League.

Therefore, UEFA obviously does not want to see Liverpool defend their title, so he deliberately created problems for Liverpool in the draw.

Otherwise, how do you explain your encounters with top teams like Inter Milan and Barcelona one after another?

As soon as the lottery results were released, combined with the Premier League, everyone realized the difficulties of Liverpool.

Before playing Barcelona, ​​Liverpool had to play a Merseyside derby, against Everton at home, and then played away from Arsenal, and then against Blackburn at home, all three tough games were tough.

The two-round match against Barcelona happened to be between these three tough battles.

In analysis, the Times said that these five games will likely change the Premier League and Champions League trends this season.

As the schedule was announced, major media and bookmakers also lowered their optimism about Liverpool.

William Hill quickly increased Manchester United's odds to Liverpool, which shows that after the schedule was announced, many lottery players were worried about Liverpool's schedule.

In the battle between Yang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo's scorer king, the Portuguese's odds also surpassed Yang Yang in just one day, which also shows that more fans are optimistic about the Portuguese.

What caused all parties to change their views was undoubtedly the draw in the Champions League quarterfinals knockout stage.

If Liverpool draws Fenerbahce or even Roma, the situation will probably change completely.

…………

Liverpool also has a great response to the draw results.

Benitez and the coaching staff held a meeting as soon as possible. Club general manager Rick Parry, team chief and deputy captain Gerald and Carragher, as well as team number one star Yang Yang, were invited to attend the meeting.

The content of the meeting was not surprising, mainly to discuss how the team would deal with the next devil schedule and whether to make a choice on the two fronts, because with the current situation in Liverpool, it is very difficult to fight on the two fronts.

Rick Parry means that the team should ensure the league first.

"As you said, we are confident enough to catch just one front, and over the past twenty years, our fans' desire for league championships has become stronger and stronger. Now is the best opportunity to hit the league championship in twenty years, and we have no reason to give up."

Even from the perspective of club interests, the Premier League championship prize is not inferior to the Champions League championship prize, not to mention that the Champions League may not be able to win the Champions League.

Gerrard believes that Liverpool has never had a precedent of being afraid before the battle. It is too early to give up now, and there may not be no chance to fight on two fronts. However, he also expressed his opinion that the league still has two points advantage and will strive for the league championship no matter what.

Yang Yang agrees with Gerald's opinion.

"I have seen the schedule. We play Barcelona first and then away. I think we should try to play a home game first. Barcelona is not in a good state recently. The team is very chaotic, and we have a chance."

Benitez nodded. If he focused on the cup, he would be confident of defeating Barcelona.

"The trouble now is that even if we enter the semi-finals, we will meet the winners of Manchester United and Roma, and it will probably be Manchester United." Yesterdam reminded.

If you meet Chelsea and Arsenal, Liverpool is not afraid at all, but Manchester United is different. Ferguson's team's defensive ability is really strong. Vidic and Ferdinand's double center backs are in the prime of their careers. In addition, Rooney and Tevez are both players with excellent counter-attack and oppression ability...

In short, Liverpool is really a headache to play against Manchester United.

"No matter what, play one game after another. If we can win Barcelona at home and establish an advantage, it will not be difficult to play away, isn't it?" Yang Yang asked.

Gerald and Carragher also supported Yang Yang, believing that they should continue to persist.

This season has been going on, and it is very uncomfortable whether it is to give up the Champions League or the league.

Rick Parry opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Obviously, he was a little worried.

It is of course best to continue to fight on both sides if you can go hand in hand. Even if it doesn’t work, it’s good to take a step back and keep the league. I’m afraid that in the end, the Champions League and the League will lose, and they will lose nothing, which will be a loss.
