football world number one

Chapter 690
When the lottery guests standing on the stage unfolded the first piece of paper inside the small ball towards the camera, people's eyes immediately focused on the faces of Liu Feng and Conte who were sitting upright.

The two obviously became interested and quickly sat up straight and looked at the second ball that was drawn out. Then, when the note was slowly unfolded, the host and the lucky draw guests showed bewildered smiles.

"Piacenza's opponent is Arsenal!"

"boom!"

The scene became lively at the first time. Since there are no avoidance restrictions in the draw after the start of the Champions League quarter-finals, it is still possible for the teams in the same group to be drawn together again, but the probability is very small.

The camera also showed Wenger and his lover Van Persie who accompanied him to the draw ceremony. After a distance, the eyes of the two had a direct contact with Conte and Liu Feng who were not far away. Both sides had polite smiles on their faces.

Speaking of the match between the two teams in the UEFA Champions League group stage, the Gunners actually suffered a lot. First, they were beaten by Super Maple at home to complete their first hat-trick of their career.

This is definitely not a comfortable experience for the Gunners, who have shown a trend of recovery in various competitions as their youth team's ability has improved faster and faster in recent seasons.

At this moment, it is not complicated to think that Wenger, the leader of the Gunners, will meet with this dark horse from Serie A again. It is not complicated to use revenge to motivate the current team. Maybe it is possible to dream back to the summer of 06?
Thinking of this, Wenger couldn't help looking at Van Persie beside him. This lover who has been honed under him for six years is now able to play a unique role on the front line.

Naturally, the lottery on the stage would not end there. After giving the reporters present and the two teams a short time to ponder, the guests continued to draw the lottery, and then the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League this season were also drawn out one by one.

The Ligue [-] powerhouse Lyon played against Barcelona, ​​the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich played against the European Red Devils Manchester United, and Inter Milan from Serie A drew the La Liga team Sevilla. This team, like Piacenza, is slightly inferior to the other six teams in the evaluation of the media.

In this way, the highlight of the lottery ceremony came to an end. Although the host and the guests were still chatting happily on the stage, the coaches and players of the teams in the audience were not thinking about it.

The UEFA Champions League quarter-final match will officially start on March 3. It is only a few days away. Since each team still has a league to play, everyone has already begun to think about whether they can leave the field early to arrange spying on opponents and targeted training.

Fortunately, UEFA officials are still very aware of the mood of the coaches present, and the draw ceremony came to an end shortly thereafter.

That night, the news about the result of the draw quickly spread all over the world. Fans from all over the world discussed the matchups of each team very intensely. In China, the match between Piacenza and Arsenal was naturally the most discussed.

"The team has never lost against the Gunners in the group stage. I think Piacenza can be stable."

"Upstairs, you also said that it is a group match, but this is a knockout match, can it be the same?"

"Everything is different. Piacenza has already experienced a round."

"But can Bordeaux be at the same level as Arsenal? A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. You haven't seen Arsenal's level this season."

"Stop nagging, Afeng is number one in the world! Fuck, I had a hat-trick at the Emirates Stadium before, what is impossible!"

"I agree with this point upstairs, Afeng is number one in the world!"

"No problem, Ah Feng is number one in the world!!!"

"It's done!!!"

……

Domestic fans have been discussing for a long time on various forums and platforms, but the final ending is surprisingly similar, that is, it will always end with singing the strength of their own China Maple.

From this point of view, it has to be said that the Chinese people's sense of national identity is far greater than that of other countries.

For a time, even because many domestic fans went to other foreign social platforms to leave messages through the ladder in order to support their own A Feng, some Italian fans who also like Liu Feng very much also gradually learned their mantra: "Liu Feng NB!"

The happiness of netizens is actually very simple, but when these come to the team, it is different. Naturally, Conte and the Piacenza team can't just rely on shouting to win. The team started their preparation career ahead of schedule after resuming training the next day.

Since the date of the game is at the end of the month, according to the schedule, Piacenza will play two more rounds of the league before that, the second round is three days before the quarter-finals, and in the first round of the quarter-finals, they still play away games.

Such a compact arrangement makes Conte have to pay attention to it. First of all, in the league, at the end of the season, Piacenza is still in fourth place behind Milan, which is third by three points.

Behind them, the Sampdoria team, which played well in the second half of the season, has slowly moved closer with their recent steady scoring efficiency. Before going to the Emirates Stadium again, they will play against the sailors who are officially in direct competition with the team for the Champions League qualification.

In this way, selectively giving up the league before the Champions League becomes an impossible option.

Conte, who has always paid attention to the combination of work and rest, finally had to make a tough move. Taking advantage of the new week when the team only needs to go to the away game to play against the Livoro team, which has already locked in a relegation spot early, he began to activate the potential of all his players as much as possible.

The media is right about one thing. The Champions League knockout stage is destined to be incomparable with the intensity of the group stage. Piacenza, who can beat the Bordeaux team, which is also a dark horse, is probably not the opponent of the Gunners who have sufficient experience in the Champions League.

Taking precautions, Conte can only accumulate as many hole cards as possible before the two teams play against each other.

Therefore, before the next round of the league, on the training ground in Piacenza, the loud shouts of the coach and the enthusiastic training scene never stopped.

It was not until the team was about to go out the next day that Conte called the players into the conference room to arrange the lineup.

This is a game with very little pressure. The last time against the league, Conte can finally perform a large-scale rotation smoothly.

　Chapter 2 here!thanks for your support! ! !Before Van Persie defected to Manchester United, the professor really trained him as the next Henry. Hey, I personally don’t hate General Fan, but he is really sorry for Wenger...
