I am Quaresma

"You said, will UEFA cheat in the draw ceremony?"

While everyone was chatting, Wilshere, who had already started training with the first team, asked suspiciously: "It is said that UEFA will manipulate the draw. How did they do it? Is everything really arranged?" ?”

Fabregas has his arms around Wilshere. He and Wilshere have a very good relationship recently. After all, Fabregas is only 20 years old. When his midfield partners are getting old, I am afraid it will be him and Wilshere. Er is partnered in the midfield, and the two are almost the youngest in the team, and they have a common language.

"Manipulation must be manipulated, otherwise how would they realize their intentions?"

Xiaofa replied in the tone of a big brother: "It is said that they will put the balls into the refrigerator and the oven separately in advance, and then mix the freshly baked balls into it, distinguish according to the temperature, and take whichever ball you want. ball!"

Wilshere half-understands, although he is not a top student, but he probably also knows that if hot and cold balls touch together, there should be condensation on the surface, that is, the ball is sweating, which is easily exposed Bar?

But Xiaofa obviously can't answer his doubts, because Xiaofa doesn't know what high-tech means UEFA will use to play tricks.

At this time, it's Quares' turn to play!

So Quaresma coughed lightly, and after attracting everyone's attention, he opened his mouth slowly.

"Controlling the temperature of the ball is actually easy to be caught. Although UEFA may not care at all, they should not make such a low-level mistake!"

"Although I don't know the specific operation methods of UEFA, there will not be so few escapes."

"For example, control the size of the ball and make the lottery balls different sizes. Because of factors such as distance, glass refraction and angle, it is not easy to be found, but the lottery guests can easily find out the size, and then You can do whatever you want!"

"Otherwise, different materials are used to make small balls to make some balls heavier. As long as guests have done their homework before and are familiar with the weight of small balls, they can easily distinguish different small balls."

"In addition, the ball that needs to be touched can also be magnetized. At the same time, the lottery guest wears an iron ring. As long as the hand is put in, the ball will automatically attract it! So, we can take a look at the lottery guest. Not with a ring!"

"Of course, there are other ways, such as screwing the balls to different degrees of tightness, some tightly screwed, some loose and half open,

This way you can distinguish different balls! "

"Otherwise, you can train the lottery guests in advance, and make articles on the lottery guests. There is no white paper in the ball itself, but the moment the ball is unscrewed, the paper is transformed into the ball in a close-up magic way. Although it is a bit difficult to do this, as long as the guests are quick, it is almost the least risky way!"

 …

The teammates were dumbfounded!

They never imagined that there would be so many ways to cheat in the lottery, that is to say, as long as UEFA is willing, they can play with everyone!

"Are you sure you haven't participated in the lottery?" Henry murmured, "How do you understand the twists and turns?"

Quaresma smiled, but said nothing.

No matter what method UEFA adopts, as long as they are careful, they will not be caught at all, and there is no evidence, and you have no way to accuse them.

The teammates were all stunned. At this time, even Wenger was stunned. He had been to the lottery scene so many times, but he still couldn't find the tricks. Obviously, he was also the one who was cheated.

"But in fact, you don't need to care about these at all!" Quaresma clapped his hands and said indifferently: "Our strength lies here, and no one wants to meet us. No matter how UEFA manipulates the results of the draw, we are all I want to win the championship, so this is not a problem at all!"

Although that is the case, the problem is that no one will be happy to be played in the hands of others.

Whether I can win is one thing, but it's another if you mess around!

These methods that Quaresma said casually are not aimless, but some possible cheating methods speculated by everyone in the previous life.

At the draw ceremony of the World Cup in Germany, the guest of draw Matthaeus drew the US team into Italy's group, creating a death group. Before that, Matthaeus had obviously picked up a small ball, but in the end But he put the ball down again, and then the US team was drawn...

If there is nothing tricky in it, but Mateus slipped his hand, Quaresma would not believe it.

Although this is what FIFA does, what is the difference between FIFA and UEFA in essence?

Coincidentally, in the 2007 Asian Cup lottery in the previous life, the Thai kid who was in charge of the lottery picked up a ball and twisted it according to Verapan's instructions, and then quickly screwed it back and replaced it with another one!

Anyway, crows are generally black in the world, and it is the same everywhere.

At this moment, the lottery guests entered the stage, and everyone fell silent.

The guest of the lottery is the former Brazilian star Zico. This is also the practice of the lottery ceremony, and football celebrities will always appear as the guests of the lottery.

Of course, UEFA will not invite those self-proclaimed high-ranking celebrities, because they cannot control them at all.

Everyone watched the live broadcast attentively. After Zico delivered a formulaic speech, the drawing ceremony officially began.

Under everyone's gaze, Zico put his hand into the container with a smile and took out the first small ball.

"Porto!"

Zico unscrewed the ball, took out the note, unfolded it in front of everyone, and read the name of the club on it with a loud voice.

The shortness of breath in the multi-purpose hall of the training base instantly eased. Obviously, Porto's opponent will not be Arsenal, because the two teams have just met in the group stage, and it is impossible to become opponents in the knockout round of 16 of.

At this time, Zico also drew out Porto's opponent.

"Chelsea!"

There was an uproar at the lottery scene, and even the teammates around Quaresma looked at each other, surprised by the result of the lottery.

Actually drawn Chelsea and Porto together, UEFA obviously wants to completely consume the story between Mourinho and his old club!

During Quaresma's season in Porto, Mourinho had just come to the Premier League, and in order to create a topic, UEFA put Chelsea and Porto in the same group, precisely because of the two rounds against Chelsea, Quaresma, who played a wonderful performance, re-entered everyone's attention.

And now, UEFA has done this again, and Mourinho is about to be hyped again when facing the topic of his old club!

Quaresma said that he was speechless. Although Chelsea seems to have lost their dominance this season, they are still strong. It is far from what Porto, which has frequently changed its lineup, can resist. Porto may be defeated in the knockout round of 16.

I can't help but feel sorry for my old teammates. Although they won't be able to play first in any group, and they have a chance to some extent, but they have no chance at all when they meet Chelsea.

The lottery is still going on, and after Zico took out small balls one after another, several sets of duels were also freshly released, attracting everyone's attention.

Celtic VS Bayern

PSV Eindhoven vs Lyon

Lille VS AC Milan

Roma v Manchester United

For some reason, Zico pulled out all the weak teams in the second category of the group, but the three real giants in the second category of the group still did not show up.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Inter Milan, these three teams are the second best in the group.

Among the seeded teams, Arsenal, Liverpool and Valencia were not drawn.

Everyone started to get nervous, because next, it might be a real life-and-death duel.

"Inter Milan"

"Inter Milan"

"Inter Milan"

 …

Eboue and the others had folded their hands together and began to pray, chanting non-stop, as if if he chanted a lot, God would receive his signal.

Quaresma couldn't stop laughing, and followed his example, clasped his hands together, and began to mutter.

"Barcelona"

"Barcelona"

"Barcelona"

 …

Everyone looked at Quaresma twitching at the corners of their mouths, obviously they didn't like the opponent Quaresma mentioned very much.

Although Arsenal defeated Barcelona in the Champions League final last season under the outbreak of Quaresma, it cannot be considered that Barcelona is weak. What if they recover in the second half of the season?

It is unlucky enough for Arsenal not to meet those big teams, let's not meet Barcelona, ​​an opponent that is not easy to deal with!

Obviously, among the remaining three giants, Barcelona is the most difficult to deal with, and they don't want to encounter it.

As for Real Madrid, the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship disintegrated, but it seems that Real Madrid has also let go of the burden and played well in La Liga. Capello's team is not so easy to play.

Among the three teams, no matter how you look at it, Inter Milan is slightly weaker. Even if Inter Milan is thriving in Serie A, Serie A behind the phone door is almost breaking out of the five major leagues, so everyone hopes that they can meet Inter Milan.

"Inter Milan"

Zico pulled out the Inter, then reached into the container on the other side.

At this time, Quaresma can't help but get serious, but even if he thinks irrationally, he still has a feeling that Inter Milan's opponent is not Arsenal.

"Valencia"

When Zico announced Inter Milan's opponent, everyone in the Kearney training base couldn't help but let out a sigh of annoyance.

"Valencia actually picked up this bargain!" Van Persie said in frustration, obviously his words could represent everyone's mood.

Quaresma couldn't help but have a black line, do you really regard Inter Milan as a soft persimmon?

What is "Valencia picked up this bargain"?

It is enough to be depressed that Valencia didn't get the belly in front of them. Inter Milan's strength is almost equal to that of the Bat Corps, and even slightly stronger. Isn't Valencia not troublesome enough to get Inter Milan?

But now there are only two teams left. Arsenal's opponents are either Real Madrid or Barcelona. It is estimated that they will compete with the two giants of La Liga.

Last season, Arsenal met Real Madrid in the knockout round, and then played Barcelona in the final, ravaging the La Liga duo successively.

Now, the two teams are once again in front of Arsenal, but this time they have to make a choice between the two.

Quaresma couldn't help but support his forehead, but he didn't expect his guess to be right.

Either Real Madrid or Barcelona!

Is UEFA really following this line of thinking?

However, at this time, Quaresma felt as if he had overlooked something.

The names of the remaining four teams appeared in his mind, and Quaresma stared blankly at this scene, thoughtful.

Arsenal and Barcelona are Nike teams, while Real Madrid and Liverpool are Adidas teams.

what does that mean?

The UEFA Champions League draw is a feast of compromises in many aspects, and among them, Adidas and Nike, as the world's two largest sports brands, will obviously also participate in the competition.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Champions League is a duel between Adidas and Nike.

In recent years, the sponsorship rule that runs through the Champions League knockout rounds is to avoid premature collision of teams from the same camp as much as possible.

Last season's Champions League final was a victory for Nike, which turned into a civil war for Nike, while Adidas teams such as Chelsea and Milan were blocked from the final gate, and Nike became the biggest winner.

And if this principle is followed, then Arsenal and Barcelona, ​​two teams sponsored by Nike, may not meet in the round of 16. In this way, isn't Arsenal's only opponent left is Real Madrid?

Thinking of this possibility, Quaresma didn't know what expression to make.

Sure enough, football is commercialized, and he doesn't know whether it is right or wrong.

"real Madrid"

Zico drew Real Madrid, then immediately reached into another container and took out the ball.

For some reason, Quaresma felt extremely funny looking at Zico's serious look, as if watching an opera full of irony.

"Arsenal"

When Arsenal's name was read from Zico's mouth, everyone exclaimed with mixed emotions.

In fact, the opponent can only be one of Barcelona and Real Madrid. No matter who is drawn, such exclamations will inevitably be heard.

"It's actually Real Madrid!"

"This result seems to be good, at least Real Madrid should not be able to beat Barcelona, ​​right?"

"Now La Liga is led by Real Madrid, okay?"

"Anyway, they are all defeated, what are you worried about?"

 …

The teammates chattered and discussed. Although they were a little surprised to be drawn to Real Madrid, they were not panicked. After all, the stable record gave everyone the strongest self-confidence. They were confident that they could face any opponent with ease. pass.

At this moment, the broadcast screen showed the representative of Real Madrid. The bitter smile on the representative's face could not be concealed. From his expression, everyone could see the attitude of Real Madrid. For Real Madrid, this is not a Good sign.

Indeed, Arsenal personally destroyed the Galacticos last season, and finally won the Champions League all the way, so powerful!

After Arsenal strengthened their midfield this season, their record has been terribly stable. No one wants to be Arsenal's opponent, but Real Madrid just met them. How could they be happy?
