Four hundred and sixtieth chapters the enemy's road is narrow

When the lottery guests standing on the stage spread the first note from the ball towards the camera, people's eyes immediately focused on Liu Feng and Conte's faces who were sitting upright.

The two obviously also became interested and quickly sat up and looked at the second ball that was being touched. Then, when the note was slowly unfolded, the host and the lottery guest both showed a fascinating smile.

"Piacenza's opponent is Arsenal!"

"boom!"

The scene became lively at the first time. Since there were no restrictions on avoidance in the draw after the start of the Champions League quarter-finals, it is still possible that the teams in the same group would draw again, but the chances were very small.

The director's footage was then given to Wenger and his beloved disciple Van Persie who accompanied him to attend the lottery ceremony. A distance between them, the two had a direct contact with Conte not far away and Liu Feng, with polite smiles on both sides' faces.

Speaking of the two teams' matches in the Champions League group stage, the Gunners actually suffered a considerable loss. They first were pressed on their heads at home by Super Maple to complete their first hat-trick in their career and were defeated, and then they were tied by their opponents when they wanted to take revenge away.

This is definitely a comfortable experience for the Gunners who have shown a trend of warming up in various competitions as their youth teams improves faster and faster in recent seasons.

At this moment, Lu Zhai met this dark horse from Serie A again. What would Wenger, the leader of the Gunners, think in his heart? It is not complicated. Using revenge to inspire the current team may really dream of that summer in 2006?

Thinking of this, Wenger couldn't help but look at Van Persie beside him. This disciple who had been honed by him for six years is now able to stand on the front line.

The draw on the stage will naturally not end there. After giving the reporters present and the two teams a brief time to recall, the guests continued to start the lottery, and then the situation of other teams in the Champions League quarter-finals this season was also drawn one by one.

Ligue 1 powerhouse Lyon plays Barcelona, ​​Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich plays European Red Devils Manchester United, and Inter Milan from Serie A draws the La Liga team Sevilla. In media comments, this team is a slightly inferior team than the other six teams, just like Piacenza.

As a result, the highlight of the lottery ceremony came to an end. Although the host and the guests were still having a very happy chat on the stage, the coaches and players of each team below were no longer here.

The Champions League quarter-finals will officially start on March 31, only a dozen days ago. With the fact that each team still has the league to play, everyone has begun to wonder whether they can leave the field in advance to arrange for spying on opponents' intelligence and targeted training.

Fortunately, UEFA officials were still very clear about the coaches present, and the lottery ceremony came to an end soon.

That night, news about the lottery results quickly spread all over the world, and fans from all over the world were discussing the matchups of each team very fiercely. In China, the most discussed was naturally the match between Piacenza and Arsenal.

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

"Upstairs, you also said it was a group stage, it was a knockout round, can it be the same?"

"What's different, Piacenza has already experienced a round."

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

"Stop talking, A Feng is the best in the world! Damn, I've had a hat trick at the Emirates Stadium before, what's impossible!"

"I agree with this upstairs very much. A Feng is the best in the world!"

"No problem, A Feng is the best in the world!!!"

"It's done!!!"

...

Domestic fans have been discussing on major forum platforms for a long time, but the final outcome is surprisingly similar, that is, they will always end up with Gao Ge's own China Maple's strength.

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 through the ladder to other foreign social platforms to leave messages in order to help their Ah Feng, some Italian fans who also like Liu Feng very much also slowly learned their catchphrase: "Liu Feng NB!"

The happiness of netizens is actually very simple, but when these come to the team, it is different. Conte and Piacenza naturally cannot win by shouting. After the team resumed training the next day, they began their career preparation in advance.

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

Such a compact arrangement forced Conte to pay attention to it. First of all, in the league, when the season ended, Piacenza is still in fourth place by three-point gap.

Behind him, Sampdoria, who performed well in the second half of this season, has slowly moved closer with its recent steady scoring efficiency. Before heading to the Emirates Stadium again, the target they are going to face is officially a Mariner who has a direct competition 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 been concerned about the combination of work and rest, finally had to make a ruthless move. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the team only needed to go to the away game in the new week and played against the Livoruo team, who had already locked a relegation place early, he began to activate the potential of all his players as much as possible.

The media said one thing very well. The Champions League knockout stage is destined to be incomparable to the intensity of the group stage. Piacenza, who can defeat Bordeaux, who is also a dark horse, is likely not an opponent of the Gunners with sufficient Champions League experience.

Preparing for the future, Conte can only accumulate enough cards before the two teams meet.

So, before the next round of the league came, on the training ground of Piacenza, the coach's loud shouts and the lively training scenes never paused again.

It was not until the team was about to go out the next day that Conte summoned the players to the conference room to arrange the lineup.
Chapter completed!
