In addition to the semi-finals of the Premier League, the Bundesliga quarter-finals are all promoted, changing the situation of Bayern and Dort in the past. This is also very rare in the history of the Champions League. The German team really exulted this year.

The top three in La Liga are also successful. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are still strong contenders for the Champions League.

In comparison, the Serie A team has been weak this year. Naples, who participated in the Champions League play-off, was eliminated by Athletic Bilbao. Only Serie A reached the Champions League group stage and only Juventus and Rome. And Rome fell into the death group of Bayern and Manchester City, and was eventually eliminated. As a result, only the Juventus Serie A team remained in the Champions League semi-finals.

Ligue 1 has performed well this year, with Paris and Monaco both qualifying together. The two teams will fight for the honor of Ligue 1.

The only teams left in the other leagues are Porto and Donetsk miners. They were drawn to a group with no giants, and they stumbled to the siege.

Three days later, on December 13, UEFA held a draw for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

The result of this draw affects the heartbeat of the entire European football team. The teams that reached the top 16 hope to get a good draw; the teams that have not been promoted also hope that the opponents of the league can encounter more difficulties and let their own The team can make a profit in the domestic league.

The final result of the draw was still dramatic.

The result of Manchester United's draw made Manchester United very satisfied: The Red Devils won Porto and they played against the Portuguese superpowers.

Although Porto is not weak, but compared to other giants in the five major leagues, Manchester United is able to draw this opponent is still fortunate.

The Premier League semi-finals were able to break through this time, making England fans happy, but the other three teams did not get a good draw.

Chelsea have drawn Paris Saint-Germain, and the two teams will start a collision of gold and football. At present, Paris is outperforming in the Ligue 1 league. There are many strong players in their team. It seems that Mourinho's team wants to break through smoothly, and it is not difficult.

Arsenal and Manchester City were rather unlucky. They actually won the same opponents in the last eighth finals at the same time: Arsenal went to Bayern and Manchester City went to Barcelona. You know, last year, the two Premier League teams fell to the eighth final and failed to qualify. However, this year Bayern and Barcelona are still very strong in their respective domestic leagues. It seems that Arsenal and Manchester City want to play again. Further, the possibilities are really small ...

Real Madrid is the hottest team to win the Champions League this year, and many industry experts are optimistic that they can defend the Champions League. They won the Bundesliga team Schalke 04 this time, it seems that Real Madrid's promotion path should not be difficult.

Atletico Atletico has drawn the Ligue 1 team Monaco, and the tough Atletico has always been a team that is not afraid of Monaco.

The Serie A team has only Juventus left, so they have become the hope of the entire Italy. Today they have drawn the Bundesliga team Dortmund. Juventus' concrete defense will usher in Dortmund's youth storm, calm Allegri and passionate Klopp. The two will start a fierce collision between Mars and the earth.

The other Bundesliga team, Leverkusen, has drawn the Ukrainian powerhouse Donetsk miners. Compared with the other three Bundesliga teams, their promotion path should be easier.

After the draw of the Champions League this time, some teams are happy and worried, but Kintag has no time to consider these things now. After all, the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals will not start until mid-February the next year, and the next paragraph In time, Manchester United will usher in a series of Premier League matches and domestic cup matches.

And just on December 14, Old Trafford will usher in the first English national derby this season.

Liverpool this season is really tragedy. During the transfer period this summer, Liverpool will be the biggest player in the Premier League transfer market.

Due to Suarez's departure, Liverpool received a large amount of transfer funds ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The board also invested a certain amount of money. Rogers made a lot of money this summer, and they successively bought Balotelli, Lara Ten players, including Markner, Markovic, Emre Jan, Lambert, Lovren, Origi, Mangillo, Moreno, Kevin Stewart! The total cost is 120 million.

But the league has reached the sixteenth round, and the Liverpool board found that they have done one thing wrong: this summer the level of recruitment is still too small, and there is still a position that needs to be strengthened-that is the head coach!

Rogers has brought Liverpool to seventh place in the league for two consecutive seasons. The magnificent giant Liverpool has no European war to play for two consecutive seasons. This is absolutely unbearable for the board!

In fact, at the end of last season, Liverpool's board of directors has begun looking for a new head coach. They looked after Southampton coach Pochettino and wanted to dig him out at the end of the season. But in the end Pochettino chose the more sincere Spurs, and he was obviously more interested in the Spurs club.

This makes Liverpool club very depressed. They tried their best to dig in, but they still didn't succeed, and there is currently no other coach more suitable for Liverpool. In the end, the board decided to let Rogers stay for another season and give him some time and opportunities.

This summer Liverpool's board of directors also made up their minds. They spent huge sums of money to recruit, want to reverse the trend in the new season and return to the Premier League, but the results made them very unhappy.

Now that the league has progressed, Liverpool's results are very stable-ranking seventh in the league. Can't go up, can't go down.

And Rogers has been interviewed by the board many times. He heard some meaning from the board's words: If he can no longer help the team to reverse the trend, then he is not far from class ...
