Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 124 After the Drawing of Lots (Third Update, Please Vote for Me!)

Chapter 124: After the lottery (Third update, please vote for me!)

On the TV screen, the draw guest, Portuguese legendary star Luis Figo, was drawing teams for the quarter-finals.

Starting from this round, the draw will no longer be conducted in the same group or the same Football Association to avoid the principle. It will be completely random. Therefore, it is possible to stage a large number of derbies with the same country here, and teams that have played against each other in the group stage are also likely to be Reunion.

Prior to this, Figo had drawn Lyon and Sevilla, Bayern Munich and Manchester United to play against each other.

Now he is drawing the third group to play against, and the first one to draw is the team that plays at home first.

"Inter Milan." Luis Figo pulled out his old club.

"Naples! Naples!" In front of the TV, Hamsik was staring at the screen and muttering.

This time, Naples TV did not invite Naples players to the studio to record the program and watch the draw live.

So everyone watched the live broadcast from their own homes.

So far, there are three teams that have not been drawn out, namely Naples, Arsenal and Barcelona.

Barcelona is definitely something Naples is unwilling to touch, and Arsenal is too unfamiliar. Only Inter Milan and they have played against each other many times in the league. This season they are double opponents. They have enough psychological advantages to choose the zone. Inter Milan is the remaining one. The only team they want to face.

But Hamsik was disappointed. Figo fumbled in the bottle for a long time and found only three balls. He pulled out one and unfolded it to see...

"Arsenal."

※ ※ ※

"It's Yiying's fight again!"

"Platini likes to play this trick!"

Journalists who were also watching the TV broadcast also commented on the result, but then they suddenly realized that the one they should complain about was not Inter Milan vs. Arsenal, but the remaining group of games that no longer need to be drawn...

※ ※ ※

"Damn it..." Naples head coach Mazzarri, who was also watching the live TV broadcast at home, threw his head back and leaned on the back of the sofa.

Napoli will face Barcelona in the quarter-finals...

Platini will never stop until he kills Naples!

Hamsik opened his mouth and looked at the TV with bulging eyes. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Cassano was stunned for a moment and suddenly sneered.

※ ※ ※

There is only one exception.

When Arsenal was drawn out, Chen Yingxiong burst out laughing in front of the TV.

Because he was right again, he felt proud that he was a prophet or a prophet. Of course, his teammates will definitely not be proud of this...

Christine Cabrera sat next to him and looked at Chen Yingxiong who was smiling happily.

A bit unclear.

"Bassa, Basa! Oh oh oh!! Basa Basa! Oh oh oh!" Chen Yingxiong raised his arms and shouted after laughing.

Play Real Madrid first, then Barcelona, ​​playing against two of the best teams in the world in one season.

Sure enough, it is something that can only happen in the Champions League. The Champions League is indeed more worthy of his expectations than the UEFA Cup.

Chen Yingxiong noticed that Cabrera looked at him with a psychotic look, so he sat down and explained to Cabrera: "Do you know why I am so happy, Christine?"

"I don't know," Cabrera replied.

"Because it's fun to compete against a strong opponent! Christine!"

"Is Barcelona strong?" Cabrera asked.

"Not so strong!" Chen Yingxiong nodded vigorously. "The most powerful team on the planet is almost invincible. Whether it is the individual strength of the stars or the overall level, they are all otherworldly, and even... do not belong to the level of this earth at all."

The media would be shocked if they heard this - that arrogant boy who always looked down upon his opponents in front of the media would actually have such a high opinion of an opponent.

"Since they are so strong, if you still want to compete with them, aren't you bound to lose?" Cabrera sometimes couldn't understand what her boss was thinking...

"Who said that?" Chen Yingxiong looked at her, "Almost invincible but not absolutely invincible. Precisely because our opponents are so powerful, only by defeating them can we appear more powerful!"

He said it as a matter of course, as if Napoli could definitely beat Barcelona.

When Arsenal was drawn out, there was a burst of laughter. Obviously the laughter was not for Arsenal and Inter Milan, but for the two remaining balls in the glass pool.

Barcelona and Napoli met.

They didn't think too much about it, they just thought it was a great show. Naples, which has just eliminated Real Madrid, is in the spotlight and is the biggest dark horse in the Champions League this season. Now that the biggest dark horse and the strongest team meet, there will definitely be countless sparks.

This game is really interesting. Sure enough, the Champions League is the top football competition in the world today!

Although the result of the match has been announced and there is no suspense, we still have to draw, who will draw first at home and who will draw first away.

Figo didn't dig around inside for a long time before taking out the ball this time. He took out one directly, opened it and said: "Barcelona."

Barcelona will play at home first and Napoli will play away first.

After the draw, the media began their routine evaluation work.

In the quarter-finals, the most worthy of discussion and the most imaginative match-ups are actually only two teams. The match between Inter Milan and Arsenal can be regarded as a strong dialogue, while Barcelona and Naples are the defending champions and the biggest dark horses. dialogue.

In addition, according to the results of the draw, the winners of these two groups will meet in the semi-finals.

Mazzarri received the reporter's call immediately. He had not yet recovered from the anger caused by the result, so his words were a bit harsh.

"With Barcelona? What else can I say? I have nothing to say. I can only say that it is against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals and Barcelona in the quarter-finals. As Naples has returned to the Champions League after 18 years, , this treatment is great!”

Any fool could hear the sarcasm in his tone.

Naples Club Chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis also accepted a phone interview from reporters.

"When we drew Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, many people thought we were finished, but we proved with actual actions that we can do it. So...Barcelona or something, I think it doesn't matter."

The old man's answer was relatively tactful, giving people confidence without complaining. Although he himself is well aware of the meaning behind this draw.

As for the players...

When the team trained the next day, everyone met in the locker room.

There was no situation where "everyone was listless", but everyone yelled and cursed.

"Fuck! UEFA is too arrogant!"

"Platini is really not a good bird!"

"Isn't it just that I won Lyon once? Look at him holding a grudge until now..."

Chen Yingxiong appeared at the door of the locker room and greeted everyone energetically: "Hey, brothers, good morning everyone!"

Everyone turned to stare at him.

"Uh..." Chen Yingxiong raised his hands, "I really don't blame me this time, you all blocked my mouth..."

"You crow mouth!!"

A group of people got together again...

※ ※ ※

Mazzarri was originally worried about the team. After encountering two super giants in a row, he was afraid that the team would lack fighting spirit. This is quite normal. Any team that encounters Barcelona will probably lack fighting spirit and have a "desperate" mood. .

So he planned to come to the locker room to check on the situation before training. If the team's morale was low, he had to find a way to boost morale.

As a result, as soon as he reached the door of the locker room, he heard the sound of fighting inside.

"This time I really have to shut up the hero's mouth!"

"Just use smelly socks. His mouth smells much worse than socks anyway!"

"Hero, listen! This is the angry cry of the people!"

"Damn! It has nothing to do with me, this is Platini's fault!"

"Then tell me, are you Platini's godson? Why do you know the results of the draw in advance every time!"

"So many media have guessed the lottery results correctly many times. Are they also Platini's godson? Isn't Platini's heart known to everyone..."

"Stop talking nonsense! You are not allowed to express any opinions on the results of the lottery in the future, and you are not allowed to make predictions!"

"I'll do it. It's just Barcelona. You guys are so scared! At worst, you'll have to fight with them..."

"Hell, who's afraid of Barcelona! It's you we're unhappy with!"

Mazzarri did not go in in the end because he felt that his worries might be in vain...

This Naples team really has a shadow of the Maradona era.

After the fight was over, everyone took a break. Chen Yingxiong asked his teammates: "Are you really not afraid of Barcelona?"

"Are you afraid, hero?" Hamsik asked him.

"I'm afraid of a hammer!" Chen Yingxiong said in his hometown dialect.

But none of the teammates understood: "What did you say?"

"Oh, my hometown dialect means I'm not afraid at all!"

"Your hometown dialect is quite interesting, hero..."

"I have always liked Chinese culture, you see!" Cassano rolled up his sleeves, and there was a row of Chinese tattoos on his arm: Antonio.

This is his name.

"I've had this idea for a long time - just ask me to speak Chinese!" Cassano said to Chen Yingxiong.

His words were echoed by other teammates: "How cool it is to be able to speak Chinese! I want to learn it too!"

With the joining of Chen Yingxiong, more and more Chinese reporters come to the Fort Volturno training base to interview Naples. You can often see them and sometimes be interviewed by them. They generally speak English and can only meet occasionally. When I met someone who spoke Italian, it was really difficult for both parties to communicate.

However, Cassano and others want to learn Chinese not to communicate with reporters, but just to make a joke in front of Chinese reporters.

Chen Yingxiong chuckled: "Okay, I'll teach you. Come, look at my mouth shape and learn from me - I'm a turtle son!"

A group of teammates followed his example: "I am a turtle paper..."

"No, no, it's 'guierzi'!" Chen Yingxiong said seriously as a teacher.

"guierzi!"

"woshiguierzi!"

"woshiguierzi!!"

After the Champions League quarter-final draw results came out, Naples players still didn't feel nervous at all.
