What is different from previous years is that for the first time, the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League left UEFA's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, but was held at the venue of the Champions League final.

This time it is Paris City Hall, France.

The lottery will start on time at twelve o'clock and will be broadcast live to the whole world.

At the Milanello training base in Milan, Italy, Kaka and his teammates from AC Milan were also sitting in front of the TV in the lounge, watching the live TV broadcast, concerned about the opponents the team would encounter next.

According to the rules of the lottery, this time the eight teams will be divided into the upper and lower halves. There is no limit to the lottery, and teams from the same country can meet each other.

AC Milan's Galliani said in an interview with the media before that the last team he wanted to meet was Inter Milan, but this team stopped at the top [-], and they have nothing to fear.

As for Juventus, AC Milan is not very afraid.

Capello's team played somewhat conservatively this season, their offensive ability was not strong, and the most important thing was their excellent defense.

The double midfielder composed of Vieira and Emerson is really too extravagant. In addition, Capello's coaching style has always been stable, which makes Juventus not play well this season, whether it is the league or the Champions League.

Capello's one-to-zero doctrine has once again been criticized by the outside world, but it cannot hold back the stability of others.

AC Milan defeated Juventus [-]-[-] at home in the league, and they are not afraid of this team.

Outside of Serie A, AC Milan is more reluctant to encounter Rijkaard's Barcelona. This is the strongest attacking team in Europe this season. There is no one. Everyone has to be afraid of three points.

In addition, AC Milan is not afraid of any opponents!

Kaka sat among his teammates and did not participate in the discussion of his teammates, but he thought of Yang Yang in his mind.

Will Ajax be drawn?
This idea has been lingering in Kaka's mind.

AC Milan's strength is indeed better than Ajax, but it is unlikely to be sure of winning.

……

The draw ceremony was presided over by UEFA CEO Olsen. Laurent Blanc, the main defender who won the World Cup in France in [-], was the guest of honor for the draw. Real Madrid star Gento and last year's Champions League champion Liverpool captain Gerrard held the trophy and handed it over to Paris Mayor Delano through Olsen.

From today, the St. Brad's Cup will be on public display in Paris until the final day.

Gento is one of the Real Madrid players who won the first Champions Cup. He is also the only player in the world who has won six Champions Cups. So far, no one has been able to reach his height in the past few decades.

It can be seen through live TV footage that Galliani, the general manager of AC Milan, is on the scene.

The eight-team draw went quickly.

The first to be drawn was the first matchup in the upper half. Benfica from the Portuguese Super League drew Barcelona from La Liga.

This signing made the representatives of Barcelona very excited. Everyone knows that this has basically announced that Barcelona has entered the semi-finals ahead of schedule.

With the strength of Rijkaard's team, it is impossible for Benfica to snipe them.

The first group drawn from the second half was Lyon against Villarreal.

This immediately made the scene of the lottery and in front of the TV gasp for a while.

Four teams came out, and the remaining four teams are Ajax, Arsenal, Juventus and AC Milan.

No matter how these four teams are drawn, it will be a strong duel.

Among them, Ajax's overall strength is relatively weak, while Arsenal, Juventus and AC Milan will be relatively better.

And in the next small ball that Blanc drew out, after opening, the third team in the upper half was Ajax.

…………

…………

De Tokmorst, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Yang Yang didn't take a nap like usual, but stayed in the rest area to watch the live broadcast.

He also cares about the team's next opponent.

When Olsen announced the name of Ajax, he clearly felt a breath of cold air in the rest area.

Everyone started to get nervous.

In theory, Ajax has the possibility of meeting Arsenal, but this may not be a good thing for the Dutch team.

The two sides played two games in the group stage, and the second game did not perform very well. In the first game, Ajax narrowly won [-]-[-] at home. It seems to have a certain advantage, but in fact, Arsenal will know Ajax better.

Juventus is difficult to deal with, the defense is very good, and there are two former Ajax players, Ibrahimovic and Trabelsi, in the team. If you look at the strength of the lineup, Ajax really has no advantage.

Vieira and Emerson's double midfielder, coupled with Nedved and Camoranesi, it is difficult for Ajax's midfielder to carry the opponent, and it is likely to fall into a difficult situation like last season.

But Yang Yang didn't mind meeting Juventus, because he wanted to see if he had made any progress this year.

The iron wall of Juventus could not be broken a year ago, can it be broken a year later?

However, what he most wants to meet is AC Milan.

The team's midfield strength is not bad. Although the three midfielders composed of Seedorf, Pirlo and Gattuso have excellent pass and control skills, they have a lot of defensive problems. In addition, there have been frequent defensive problems recently, but they are still one of the strongest teams in European football.

The reason why Yang Yang wants to touch AC Milan is because he still remembers the grievance two years ago and the challenge letter he gave Kaka.

……

Looking at the TV screen, Blanco drew another small ball, and the Ajax players were very nervous.

Yang Yang felt somewhat uneasy, after all, the lottery was related to the future trend of the team, but he still smiled calmly and comforted his teammates.

"Don't be nervous, no matter who the opponent is drawn, just fight!"

Hearing what Yang Yang said, the teammates also lightened their burden a little.

Blanc unscrewed the ball and handed the note to Olson, who flipped it over neatly.

"AC Milan!"

There was an obvious exclamation in the venue.

In other words, there is no need to watch another matchup in the second half, Arsenal against Juventus.

The reason for drawing lots again is to determine the home and away games.

Ajax meets AC Milan!

Yang Yang's long-awaited duel is finally here!
"I got my wish!" Yang Yang stood up and said harshly.

Sneijder, Maxwell and De Jong also nodded.

As early as September, when Yang Yang invited everyone to the Shenji Chinese Restaurant in Almere, he had already expressed his attitude that he wanted to touch AC Milan, but then Ajax and AC Milan were the first in the group, so naturally it was impossible to meet.

It can indeed be said that it is good luck to meet the top eight.

"It's been two years, and it's time to resolve the grievances two years ago!" Yang Yang shouted loudly.

"That's right, I've been holding back my anger for the past two years, and now I just want to get it back in one breath!" Sneijder also shouted loudly.

According to the schedule, Ajax is the host first, relatively speaking, the schedule is more favorable.

But football games still rely on strength to speak after all.

"Kaka, we finally met!" Yang Yang murmured eagerly.

What he didn't know was that at the same time, Kaka was also full of expectations in the Milanello training base.

"Since we met, I can beat you to the ground two years ago, and I can still bow your heads two years later!"

…………

…………

As soon as the results of the draw for the quarter-finals knockout round came out, it immediately caused an uproar all over the world.

The rumors of the shady lottery are once again clamoring.

The reason is simple, Ajax and AC Milan are the teams with the best offensive power in this Champions League.

AC Milan eliminated Bayern Munich in the top [-] knockout round with a total score of [-] to [-] at home and away. This report card is not something that any team can do, because Bayern Munich is not inferior to other giants at all.

However, the Rossoneri did not fall behind in the away game, and they were fully suppressed at home, showing a very good ability to control the game.

However, the Rossoneri's problem is also obvious, that is defense.

Neither the defense nor the goalkeeper Dida is satisfactory this season, especially Dida. After two seasons of perfect performance, the Brazilian goalkeeper's state has declined rapidly this season.

Another problem is that the left back, whether it is Sergio or Jankulovski, has no reassuring performance, and Nesta's partner also has hidden dangers, which also makes people have doubts about AC Milan.

Ajax's resume is also excellent. The group defeated Arsenal to qualify, and defeated Real Madrid [-]-[-] in two rounds in the round of [-]. It is also the most eye-catching result in the Champions League this season, especially the hat-trick of young player Yang Yang, which is even more brilliant.

Interestingly, Ajax's problem also lies on the defensive end.

Shevchenko and Yang Yang currently lead the UEFA Champions League scorer list with eight goals. Both leading shooters are in excellent condition, and both teams have weaknesses and deficiencies in defense.

But from a comprehensive assessment, AC Milan is even better, and there is no suspense in winning.

After attending the draw ceremony in Paris, Galliani said in an interview with the media on the spot, "Ajax is not an easy team to deal with. They have very good players, a top scorer in Europe, and an experienced head coach, which makes this team difficult to deal with."

"But we are still very confident that we can beat our opponents and advance to the semi-finals."

The general manager of AC Milan later said that compared with the quarterfinals, he was more worried about the semi-finals.

"We are in the top half, and when we reach the semi-finals, we will face Barcelona, ​​which will obviously be our biggest test, because Barcelona is currently the favorite team in the Champions League."

For Galliani's statement, the Dutch domestic media have expressed dissatisfaction, thinking that Galliani lacks respect for Ajax, and he has already begun to look forward to the semi-finals before the knockout round of the quarterfinals.

Ajax coach Ronald Koeman made it clear in an interview with the media, "We are indeed not a strong European team, but we are definitely not an underdog at the mercy of others."

Yang Yang was also interviewed by the media according to the arrangement of the club the day before the No.20 eighth round of the Eredivisie against Eindhoven at home.

He firmly stated, "We will use our performance to make any team that ignores us pay the most painful price!"
