Chapter 465 Old Rival

As the quarter-finals of the Champions League come to an end, the draw for the quarter-finals will follow.

"Interesting" When the results of the quarter-final draw came out, Li Yi was too lazy to complain.

AC Milan, this is Real Madrid's next opponent. When Cagliari failed to qualify from the group stage and failed to meet in the quarter-finals, UEFA gave Li Yi another old opponent.

Last season, Cagliari, led by Li Yi, stepped on the corpse of AC Milan and made their debut at the top of Europe. It was also because of you, the champion, that Li Yi finally won the title of Real Madrid.

In fact, before Li Yi, Real Madrid was selecting coaches throughout Europe, and Ancelotti was one of Real Madrid's goals at that time, but because Ancelotti lost the Champions League final, the Real Madrid chairman's choice was skewed.

Of course, even if Florentino really invites Ancelotti, he may not be willing to come. After all, the whole of Europe knows that Real Madrid is a mess.

Although Ancelotti has a good temper, he is still very wise on this issue. In the original history, Ancelotti rejected Real Madrid's invitation.

After the lottery results came out, Li Yi received a call from Ancelotti. The two made complaints about UEFA's lottery draw, and then Ancelotti also expressed his determination for the next two rounds of competition.

Ancelotti was one of the few friends of Li Yi in Serie A. After leaving Serie A, the two rarely communicated. After all, Li Yi was busy and Ancelotti was also busy.

Real Madrid vs. AC Milan is also the last game of the quarter-finals, and then Juventus vs. Arsenal. Barcelona advanced to the quarter-finals with a red card due to Messi's "excellent" performance, and Barcelona's opponent in the quarter-finals is also an old acquaintance of Mourinho, Benfica from Portugal.

The last one is Inter Milan. Speaking of which, the quarter-finals also continued the duel between La Liga and Serie A. Inter Milan's opponent is another La Liga team, Villarreal.

Both La Liga and Serie A have three teams entering the quarter-finals, and the matchup is actually predictable. In fact, Li Yi had thought of this as early as the quarter-finals.

With the result of the draw, Li Yi and Real Madrid can return to the league a little bit. The first round of the quarter-finals will be at the end of September. During this period, Real Madrid will need to play four league games.

If Real Madrid can maintain the current point difference between Barcelona after these four games, then Real Madrid can concentrate more on preparing for the Champions League.

Well, no matter what happens in the next three games, against No.20, Barcelona has already given a big gift in the seventh round, and Barcelona, ​​who was a guest at Osasuna, ushered in another defeat.

2:1, Osasuna at home has lost more recently, not only widening the gap with Barcelona, ​​but also being surpassed by Valencia, and Valencia's opponent in this round of the league happens to be Real Madrid.

In other words, this round of the league is a direct dialogue between the top four. The first Real Madrid will face the third Valencia, and the second Barcelona will face the fourth Osasuna.

At present, the fourth Osasuna has counterattacked the second Barcelona, ​​and with this victory of Osasuna, the standings have caught up with Valencia.

So the next game will have a crucial effect on both Real Madrid and Barcelona. If Real Madrid wins, the point difference with Barcelona will widen to 18 points. If Valencia wins, it will lead Osasuna again. There is a huge gap between the third and fourth places in the Champions League.

No.3 of La Liga directly enters the final, while No.4 needs to play the qualifying rounds. If one is not careful and is eliminated in the qualifying rounds, there is really no place to cry. In the history of the Champions League, there are not a few teams that are eliminated in the qualifying rounds.

Both Real Madrid and Valencia wanted to defeat their opponents, and both wanted to win, but the final result was somewhat contrary to what the two teams thought.

When the referee blew the whistle for the whole game, the score on the field was 0:0. You must know that in this game, you came and I shot nearly [-] shots, but in the end they failed to score even a single goal.

This is also the first time that Real Madrid failed to score a goal in a game this season, and even this matter was widely reported by many media. From this, we can see how abnormal Real Madrid is this season.

In this game, Real Madrid's starting lineup once again made a lot of changes, and many young players appeared on the field. This is one of the reasons why Real Madrid failed to score goals.

In the last 20 minutes of the game, Li Yi changed three players in one go. Ronaldo and Ribery both appeared on the field, but they still failed to win the game for Real Madrid.

Although this result cannot be said to be a happy one, both of them got the points they wanted. Real Madrid widened Barcelona's point difference from 15 points to 16 points. Valencia also surpassed Osasuna again, occupying the third place in the league with a one-point advantage.

As for Barcelona and Osasuna, they can only feel depressed. It is said that these two teams are eager for Real Madrid and Valencia to beat each other, but they support different objects.

Although Barcelona has little hope, Rijkaard can't give up. I hope that if you believe in him, he may have it, but if you don't believe it, then he must not, and as a rich family, you must be firm on this point.

With the 27 rounds of the league completely over, Li Yi once again gave the players a day off. According to the agreement, there was no holiday for this draw, but considering that there will be double matches in a week, Li Yi finally chose to give the players a day off.

In fact, it was just one day. After returning to training, Li Yi also relaxed a lot. It was more to relieve the fatigue of the players. The time has come to the middle of March. The players have worked hard for more than half of the season, and Shenxing is a little tired.

This is also the reason why players go out to play like crazy when they are on vacation. Outsiders only see the players' scenery, but they cannot see the day-to-day hard work and persistence behind the scenery.

The ease is actually just a few days ago. With the approach of the No.20 eighth round of the league, both the team coach and the players began to tense up.

Real Madrid's current advantage is indeed great, but Barcelona is not without a chance, there are still eleven rounds in the league, and with the current advantage of Real Madrid, if there is any problem in the end, then Real Madrid's players will really be nailed to the pillar of shame.

In order not to let themselves be nailed to the pillar of shame, Real Madrid players need to work harder, so in the next game, Real Betis is unlucky, and the Real players will definitely vent their depression on Real Betis in the last draw, not to mention that Li Yi will do his best to get back on the winning track.
