Chapter 913： It's against the sky!

While fans all over the world are still immersed in the discussion about whether Messi is going to Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain, the UEFA Champions League continues to proceed in an orderly manner.

After the quarter-final knockout round, the focus of the fans was attracted by Messi’s transfer, but no one noticed that Monaco from Ligue 1 lost a zero to one in the first round and took control of Louis in the second round. The II Stadium, with Fekir's lore, equalized the score by one to zero.

After that, in overtime, both sides failed to score and kept the total score one to one to the end and entered a penalty shootout.

In the end, Navas showed great power in the penalty shoot-out, saving the opponent's three penalties in one breath, relying on both hands to send Monaco into the Champions League semi-finals.

This battle made Costa Rican goalkeeper Navas famous and became famous overnight.

In another arena, Madrid staged a derby.

Atletico Madrid had a zero-to-zero draw with Real Madrid at home, but at the Bernabéu Stadium, Simeone's team had a desperate showdown with Real Madrid. The two sides played in full swing, and neither of them could break the opponent's goal.

In the 80th minute of the second half, Isco, the midfielder of the Sheets Corps, made an uncomfortable foul during a defense, accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off the court by the referee.

This made everyone at Atletico Madrid feel dissatisfied and shocked.

But in the case of one less man fighting, Simeone replaced the young player Bietto.

At the critical moment, it was precisely a subtle assist from the midfielder Alex Teixeira, which helped the teenager Bietto get a single-handed counterattack opportunity at the critical moment. The Argentine teenager calmly seized this opportunity and scored. The winning goal of the whole game.

After Real Madrid furiously counterattacked, Atletico Madrid defended the whole line, and finally kept the score of one to zero to the end.

Simeone's team finally at the Bernabéu Stadium, relying on Bierto's goal to kill, the total score eliminated Real Madrid one to zero, and once again successfully reached the Champions League semi-finals.

With Real Madrid eliminated from the Champions League and Copa del Rey successively, the La Liga championship battle has gradually lagged behind Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid's coach Ancelotti's call for dismissal is also increasing.

There are even media reports that Florentino has notified the board of directors in advance that Ancelotti will dismiss get out of class after the end of the season.

As for who will become the new captain of the Galaxy Warship, it is not yet clear.

Monaco, Southampton and Atletico Madrid have reached the semi-finals one after another. This made Yang Huan happily close from ear to ear, and even wondering whether Benfica defeated Bayern Munich 3-1 at home in the first round. To the semifinals?

If the four teams in the Champions League semi-finals are all from their own, that would be really cool.

But Guardiola didn't give face to the new owner this time.

In the first round, Bayern Munich dealt with a mistake and lost to Benfica 3-1 in the away game.

This battle greatly created the names of the two Benfica wingers, Gatan and Salvio, and also allowed the Manchester United chief executive Santoko to call the young master Huan immediately after the game. , Thank you cheerfully, and repeatedly emphasized that these two players have been sold to Manchester United.

Seeing his unpromising appearance, it seemed as if he was afraid that Young Master Huan would repent, as for?

But in the second round, at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich adjusted their tactics and staged a one-sided massacre, breaking Benfica by a four-to-one at home, and knocking out the Portuguese Super League team without any risk.

This also made Yang Huan feel a little depressed, three missing one!

However, in the Champions League semi-finals, three of the four teams are his own. Yang Huan is already quite satisfied.

According to the rules, in the semi-final schedule, Southampton will face Monaco and Bayern Munich will face Atletico Madrid in La Liga.

The four teams are from the Premier League, French Ligue, Bundesliga and La Liga, which also makes European fans generally excited.

Only the fans of Italy and Serie A were disappointed because they had a chance.

With the launch of the Champions League semi-final team, major bookmakers have also refreshed their odds.

Judging from the market reaction, Southampton has the highest odds.

The defending champions of the Champions League this season can be described as strong and powerful.

Bielsa's team is not only a collection of superstars, but also has amazing offensive power. It was a top performer in the Premier League and established the throne of the Premier League champion early, achieving three consecutive championships.

You know, since the establishment of the Premier League, only Manchester United under Ferguson has achieved two three consecutive championships, 98 to 01, and zero to nine.

What's interesting is that when Manchester United won three consecutive Premier League titles, it was also accompanied by the two Champions Leagues in the 1999 and 2008 seasons.

Southampton is the second team to achieve three consecutive championships since the establishment of the Premier League. More importantly, they also won a Champions League championship. This makes the Saints the third team since the establishment of the Premier League after Manchester United and Liverpool. The Premier League team that won the Champions League.

Even with such a powerful attacking firepower of the Saints this season, it is likely to become the first team to successfully defend the title since the Champions League reform, which will undoubtedly greatly help the Saints' influence in European football.

However, in the semifinals, the Saints faced Monaco from Ligue 1.

If Southampton is the sharpest offensive team in Europe this season, then Ronald Coman's Monaco is the strongest defensive team in Europe.

With the sharpest spear and the strongest shield, this duel is destined to attract the attention of fans all over the world.

More importantly, compared to the star-studded Southampton, Monaco's star configuration is relatively more stringent.

But in any case, if Koeman can once again lead the Monaco upset Saints, it will undoubtedly make the Ligue 1 team go further.

As for another matchup, last season’s Champions League runner-up, Atletico Madrid made a comeback this season and reached the semi-finals, which means to find the place where they lost the championship last season.

However, facing the Bundesliga class tyrant Bayern Munich, Simeone's team may not be able to take advantage of much.

Therefore, in the betting company William Hill's Champions League winning odds, Southampton has the highest odds, followed by Bayern Munich, and Atletico Madrid and Monaco rank third and fourth.

In another popular bet at William Hill, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City are far ahead in the odds of the team that Messi is most likely to join, followed by Manchester United, followed by Bayern Munich, Southampton, and Troy. Tenham Hotspur, Real Madrid and Chelsea.

Because of the Spanish media broke the news, Abramovich asked to buy Messi, but Messi refused to join the relegation team because he did not want to join the relegation team. This suddenly made the Blues fans all over the world very sad.

But no one cares about the mood of the Blues fans, because time continues.

…………

…………

With the further improvement of Monaco's performance this season, especially the consecutive wins in the Champions League, it greatly stimulated the attendance of the Louis II stadium, especially in the Champions League, which was full.

Yang Huan appeared openly in the stands of the Louis II Stadium, which happened to be the first leg of Southampton’s away challenge to Monaco in the Champions League semi-final.

Yang Huan was accompanied by Peter Kenyon and others, sitting with Prince Albert and Princess of Monaco, as well as a group of political and business celebrities of Monaco. The CEO of the Monaco Club Boling Brook and the technical director Jean Luc Bissing was by the side.

The atmosphere in the entire chairman's stand seemed very good, because Monaco had already overfulfilled the task to reach the semi-finals, and it was difficult for fans to demand more from this team.

"Master Huan, I didn't expect that Monaco could improve so fast and play so well!"

The bald Prince Albert smiled, closing his mouth from ear to ear, and even praised Yang Huan when he saw Yang Huan.

"Hehe, these are all managed by Michael, Jean and others. It also depends on the dedication of the coach and players. With the help of His Royal Highness and everyone present, Monaco can achieve today's results."

Yang Huan smiled modestly.

Sometimes, proper modesty can be quite likable.

Especially for people like Yang Huan, who wouldn't like the flattery he shoots?

"Haha, Master Huan, after all, you are the leader!" Prince Albert nodded and praised with joy.

"In the Champions League semi-finals, your team accounted for three. You said, if you are unsuccessful, who will succeed?"

The others around also nodded.

To talk about today's European football, when it comes to Young Master Huan, it can be said to be like a thunderbolt.

If someone said that he didn't know Master Huan, then this person might be laughed to death by others.

Yang Huan smiled and said nothing more.

This is modest, but it is enough, otherwise it will become hypocritical and annoying.

"Master Huan, do you think Monaco has a chance for this game tonight?" Prince Albert asked concerned.

Yang Huan suddenly smiled bitterly, "I said, Your Royal Highness, the back of this hand is meat, and the palm of his hand is also meat. How would you tell me to answer?"

Prince Albert laughed suddenly.

"Frankly speaking, in terms of strength, Monaco has almost no chance."

"Huh?" Prince Albert frowned.

"This has reached the semi-finals, so there is no chance?"

"Yes!" Yang Huan understood what Prince Albert meant, and smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry about any tricks, I can tell everyone very clearly and frankly, there is no trick, who wins and loses, for me, there is no difference. ."

What can be the difference?

Southampton won, and it will naturally bring in a lot of income, but Monaco won, not the same?

Even if Monaco wins, several players in the team will be able to sell for a higher price.

"The players of Monaco are very good, but they have not yet reached their maturity, relying on a breath of air, they are almost the same. Originally they were choking when they played Dortmund, but Koman is really good. Rich experience, he just turned the situation around."

is not that right?

Lost an away goal in the first round, and the performance in the second round was not very good. In the end, Fekir's lore and the magical performance of Navas in the penalty shoot-out was the only way to qualify.

If you play another game, Monaco probably won't be able to advance.

"Relatively speaking, Southampton's overall strength is better. Although there are problems with the defense, the offensive power is quite good. Monaco has basically no chance of winning against such an opponent."

Prince Albert and others all nodded, Yang Huan's analysis was reasonable.

After all, Monaco is able to come to this day, it is somewhat lucky.

When it comes to hard power, they are not enough.

"Could it be that there is really no chance?"

"Yes!" Yang Huan laughed, "Unless Koeman and the players are against the sky!"

The princess chuckled and laughed.

Everyone also laughed.

But what Young Master Huan said was right.

With the overall hard power behind, Monaco really can only rely on the sky to win if it wants to win.

Because, in the face of absolute strength advantages, no matter how good luck, can not change the final result.

Unless, Monaco is transformed into Long Aotian!
