Chapter 187: Champions League semi-final draw results!

Etihad Stadium.

Carnival and loss are intertwined, joy and bitterness are blended together, forming a grand picture.

Chu Feng and his teammates on the bench stood up suddenly and rushed to the green field frantically to join in the celebration of victory.

They have overcome the highest mountain and only have four games left to win the coveted league title.

Bournemouth, Arsenal, Brighton and Watford.

Every Manchester United fan is calculating the conditions for winning the title in his mind.

One win, two draws and one loss, two wins, one draw and one loss. However, they all did not declare themselves the champions. After all, there was the example of Manchester City's comeback in the 11-12 season, and no one dared to open the champagne in advance.

The more times like this, the more stable you need to be.

certainly.

These have nothing to do with today's carnival, they can just enjoy the pleasure of victory.

Not far away.

The Manchester City players lay powerlessly on the grass, their eyes dull and expressions lifeless, feeling indescribable discomfort in their hearts.

They lost a game that they may remember for the rest of their lives.

Aguero looked at the celebrating Manchester United players gloomily, and couldn't help feeling depressed and nostalgic, as they were once like each other.

That was his happiest day.

He suddenly thought of Messi for no apparent reason and the upcoming World Cup. He didn't want to experience another unforgettable failure.

And Manchester City's journey this season is not over yet.

Maybe Manchester United will perform poorly in the last four games and lose the championship to them again.

There is always hope.

Aguero thought about it, regained his energy, got up and went to comfort his teammates.

Kyle Walker said gloomily: "Don't you think that kid is a bit outrageous? How can he improve so quickly? He had a hard time breaking through Delph last time."

"You are not the only one who has this doubt. I guess the whole Premier League and Europe have the same doubt."

Edson next to him sighed.

He was still thinking about coming to Manchester City to win a championship, but who would have thought that after dreaming about it for most of the season, his dream would eventually be ruthlessly smashed into pieces.

Chu Feng’s brilliant breakthrough from the wing just now kept appearing in his mind from time to time.

Ederson stared at De Gea, his eyes full of envy.

De Bruyne on the bench had a very complicated expression as he recalled his first encounter with Chu Feng, which was at the Champions League knockout draw ceremony.

At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it and just thought of him as a talented junior.

However, as Chu Feng's fame grew and he saw how much Mourinho valued him, he eventually felt a little unbalanced.

This is human nature.

After all, he once wanted to be a sword in Mourinho's hand.

When he saw Guardiola's back in front of him.

The depressed mood was immediately swept away and the fighting spirit became high again.

He believes that under Guardiola's leadership, Manchester City can definitely reach the top of Europe and he will also get the honor he has always dreamed of.

And only after going through long and difficult times will the final victory be sweeter.

Guardiola looked up at the Etihad Stadium.

He has never doubted his football philosophy, which is the most basic quality of a top coach. Even Manchester City's failure to win any of the four major titles last season did not change his mind.

How far is Manchester City's ultimate dream of the Champions League and the Premier League ? He can't give an answer, but he will persist and sooner or later he will be proud of the British world as a winner.

Then he walked quickly towards the player tunnel.

Mourinho, who was sitting next to him, saw Guardiola's movements out of the corner of his eye. After the intense ecstasy faded away, he was replaced by loneliness.

But then the desire to fight arose again.

He has been competing with Guardiola for so many years, but it seems that the winner has never really been decided. There will be many opportunities for them to compete in the future.

Same with Guardiola.

Mourinho has never doubted his football philosophy.

Perhaps his coaching career was hinted at when he said “I am the most special one” in the summer of 2004.

He once changed the landscape of the Premier League.

It certainly can be done now.

Mourinho's expression became more arrogant, as if he had regained his lost magic.

Then he walked quickly towards the green field.

The spotlights on the sidelines were flashing wildly, and Guardiola and Mourinho's backs were facing each other, one walking towards darkness and the other towards light.

After the carnival is over.

Interview area at the stadium.

Chu Feng adjusted his hair style in front of the camera and gave what he thought was the most perfect smile.

Sky Sports hosts Neville and Carragher were holding microphones, standing on either side of Chu Feng.

"As a Manchester United player, I am very happy to see today's victory."

"Chu, what were you thinking about when you dribbled past three people on the wing and scored with a lob?"

Neville asked first.

"Well, I'm paying attention to the defensive players' movements and thinking about how to respond."

"After all, they are all excellent players. If you don't play with full concentration, it will be difficult to break through their defense."

Chu Feng pondered for a moment and answered in a proper manner.

Carragher followed up: "As you play more and more games, do you feel that you have become more confident?"

"Of course, I can clearly feel it. When I started for Manchester United for the first time, listening to the noise made by tens of thousands of fans really made me tremble all over.

"I don't dare to make any moves, shoot or dribble. I always think of the scene after losing the ball."

"But I don't know when I started to stop caring about those things and focus on the football in front of me. I even started to enjoy everything it brought me."

Chu Feng recalled the past.

Although less than a year had passed, he felt that it was a long time, perhaps because of his experience before his rebirth.

After the game.

Reports about this game were overwhelming on social media, and fans were also discussing it enthusiastically. - [Xiao Chu once again became the key man! ] - [A wonderful game! ] - [Just like last time, Manchester City lost by a small margin, and the last ball was really unsolvable. ] - [Xiao Chu's growth rate is too fast. You know, he was still sitting on the bench at the beginning of the season, which is simply challenging my common sense. ] - [In fact, there are many young players who are famous, Owen, Ronaldo, Messi, Ronaldo, etc., who gradually showed their dominance on the field when they were less than 20 years old. ] - [Manchester United is now 6 points ahead of Manchester City. As long as they don't lose the chain in the last 4 games, the Premier League championship is basically a sure thing! ] - [Alas, following Mourinho from Porto to Chelsea, then to Inter Milan, Real Madrid, and Manchester United, from his black hair to white hair, I really hope to see him return as a king. I hope Manchester United will cheer for him! ] - [There will be a Champions League draw ceremony tonight, don't forget to watch it! ] - [.]

Three hours later.

Nyon, Switzerland.

UEFA headquarters.

The draw ceremony for the Champions League and Europa League semi-finals will be held here.

The beautifully decorated venue was packed with people, cameras were pointed at the players and club representatives entering, and spotlights were flashing wildly.

C Ronaldo, Salah, De Rossi Chu Feng just found his position and found that he was right next to Salah.

Although Manchester United and Liverpool are incompatible, the relationship between the two is not too stiff and they greeted each other.

“That pass was beautiful!”

Salah extends his right hand.

"Thank you, your recent goal was also very beautiful."

Chu Feng praised in a friendly manner.

Since Liverpool defeated Manchester City, they have completely changed and are in amazing form.

Salah scored in the 3-0 win over Bournemouth and the 2-2 draw with West Bromwich Albion.

The gap that Chu Feng had worked so hard to open up was once again equalized by Salah with his excellent performance. Compared to the winner of the Premier League championship, the competition for the Golden Boot Award seems to be even more intense.

The two talked for a while, and Ronaldo sat next to them with a sullen face, but he looked at Chu Feng out of the corner of his eyes.

His conflict with Real Madrid is getting worse and worse, and he may leave at the end of this season.

Your successor?

Ronaldo's expression became increasingly cold. He believed that neither Vinicius, Mbappe nor Chu Feng could reach his level.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

As for the next club, perhaps Juventus, which was defeated by themselves, is a good choice.

After the complicated opening ceremony, the draw ceremony finally officially began.

The guest of this draw is Shevchenko.

Without much ado, he pulled out a small ball from the glass jar, opened it and revealed the note.

"Liverpool!"

All eyes turned to Klopp.

This year's Liverpool is a bit like the Liverpool that created miracles in the past. Their performance in the league was not satisfactory and they also stumbled in the Champions League, but in the end they created a miracle.

But Mourinho really hopes to meet Liverpool.

Because Manchester United has defeated Liverpool twice, they have a certain psychological advantage, and both teams' home grounds are in the UK, so the league will not be affected by the travel.

But when he saw the word "Real Madrid" on the note in Shevchenko's hand.

Suddenly, two emotions arose: disappointment and joy.

At this point, the results of the Champions League semi-final draw have all been released.

Liverpool VS Real Madrid!

Roma VS Manchester United!

Club representatives sit in the audience.

Zidane touched his smooth head, with a somewhat helpless expression on his face.

If he were asked to pick an opponent he least wanted to face.

Liverpool were the first to be hit.

Although Real Madrid's overall strength level is much stronger than Manchester United and it has missed the La Liga championship, it can devote itself to the Champions League.

But Liverpool's recent record is too dazzling.

Under Klopp's leadership, the team defeated Manchester City twice in two rounds and the morale has reached its peak.

Mourinho next to him had a gloomy look in his eyes and rubbed his temple with his hand.

In fact, he was quite satisfied with the result.

After all, everyone knows that Roma is the weakest on paper.

But according to the schedule arranged by UEFA, Manchester United and Roma will play two rounds on April 26 and May 2, which is at the end of the Premier League.

Manchester United will face Arsenal during this period.

It is equivalent to fighting three battles a week, which consumes a huge amount of physical energy.

It would be fine if Manchester United lost to Arsenal, but if their competitive state is affected, they may be once again embroiled in the 9320 miracle by Manchester City.

So some trade-offs must be made.

Di Francesco stared at Mourinho not far away and subconsciously adjusted his black-framed glasses.

Since the reversal against Barcelona, ​​his ambition has been ignited like a prairie fire.

Roma had never won a European Cup in history, so why couldn't he be the one to make history? Imagine the whole city of Rome cheering for him, how pleasant it would be.

In the player representative seat.

The corners of Ronaldo's mouth slightly raised, and he glanced to the side intentionally or unintentionally.

Whether it's Manchester United, Liverpool or Roma, it doesn't matter to him.

He would defeat the opponent with one goal after another, leaving Real Madrid with an unprecedented treble and a record that could not be surpassed by future generations.

Salah drank some water a little irritably.

He knew that with Liverpool's current strength, it would be too difficult to defeat the Galacticos. Although they had just beaten Manchester City, there was also some luck involved.

The most important aspect of Real Madrid's strength lies in the balance and depth of its lineup.

In other words, although Ronaldo and Benzema both have strong tactical significance, Real Madrid will have a backup plan no matter who of them leaves the field.

But Manchester City can't do it, Juventus can't do it, Liverpool can't do it, and Manchester United can't do it either.

Perhaps Liverpool's journey to the Champions League has come to an end, but he still has to try his best to at least create difficulties for Real Madrid on their way to the championship.

As for Chu Feng, he was a little surprised by the result of the draw.

He thought he would draw Real Madrid or Liverpool, but he didn't expect it to be Roma.

But we should not underestimate Roma, or even think that they have secured qualification.

After all, there is the precedent of Barcelona being killed by the "big gift package".

If Manchester United beat Roma and reach the Champions League final, will they have a chance to win the Champions League trophy?

Chu Feng shook his head vigorously to drive out the distracting thoughts in his mind.

No matter which team he meets, he just needs to try his best and leave no regrets.

Half an hour later, at the entrance of the venue.

"Mr Mourinho, are you confident that you can continue your unbeaten record in the Champions League final?"

Facing the tricky questions from the reporter, Mourinho looked up at the reporter and said in a deep voice: "It is meaningless to discuss the final now. We will try our best to play every game well."

Then he took Chu Feng into the business car, and the two rushed back to Manchester overnight to prepare for the next league.

On the way back.

Mourinho said earnestly: "I used to worry about gains and losses and things that didn't happen, but later I found that those were unnecessary because they would only make life more narrow."

"So compared to imagining the future, I am more accustomed to focusing on the present."

"I have said so much just to warn you not to be affected by the lottery results and not to have excessive expectations for something that has not happened."

Chu Feng made a joke after hearing this: "Boss, my mentality may be more stable than yours."

Mourinho suddenly remembered the conversation they had in the office and said helplessly, "Yeah! Sometimes I feel like you are more like an old man, without the impulse of a young man, which is not a good thing. Wait until the end of the season and go out and have some fun with your teammates."

He just thought that Chu Feng was under too much pressure in his daily life, so he behaved differently from his peers.

late at night.

The results of the Champions League semi-final draw went viral on the Internet, attracting close attention from hundreds of millions of people around the world. - [If Manchester United can make it to the final, Mourinho's unbeaten spell in the final will be broken! ] - [Although Real Madrid is very strong, it is not certain to win the championship, right? ] - [Let's win the semi-final first, Liverpool is not what it used to be. ] - [Manchester United and Roma, Manchester United has a higher chance of winning. ] - [Indeed, Manchester United's defense is stronger than Barcelona, ​​and it is difficult for an upset to happen. ] - [I hope Xiao Chu will do his best and strive to reach the Champions League final. At least he can touch the big ear cup, which can give us some expectations. ] - [.]
