613 Champions League Quarter-Finals Officially Unveiled
The 2006-2007 Champions League quarter-finals draw was officially held in Athens, Greece, with UEFA official Gianni Infantino presiding.
The moment Gianni Infantino appeared, thunderous applause echoed.
Gianni Infantino raised her hands and the applause stopped. He smiled and said: “Thank you very much for attending today’s drawing of lots. On behalf of UEFA, I would like to thank you all.”
There was another round of thunderous applause.
Then Gianni Infantino got down to business, and the big screen opened, starting with a European Champions League promotional film announcing the official start of the drawing of lots.
Gianni Infantino then began to introduce the teams to the top eight, and on the big screen there were some highlights of the Champions League matches and brief interviews with coaches and players.
This matter had been going on for a long time, but the coaches at the scene were not impatient.
On the other hand, Zhong Cheng and Rogers were fascinated by the video, although these video collections didn’t mean anything. But careful people can still see some things.
After reading the information of these teams, Zhong Cheng looked very serious.
Sure enough, none of the teams that can advance to the Champions League quarter-finals are mediocre. On the contrary, Leeds United seemed to be a little lucky to make it into the top eight.
Because the introduction above seems to be a bit weaker for Leeds United. Looks like Leeds United is really the weakest of the eight teams. It seems that many teams are willing to draw for their Leeds United, right?
Of course, not everyone wants Leeds United, such as teams from the Premier League and Valencia.
Yes, no matter how loud the hubbub was before the game, Valencia really didn’t want to draw for Leeds United. Of course, Leeds United were reluctant to draw for Valencia, so the two teams had only produced so many things before the game.
Because they knew that the more fierce they were before the game, the less likely they were to draw together. Of course, it’s not impossible for UEFA to really intervene, but the chances of that happening are too small.
After the introduction of the teams, the atmosphere was a little depressing. Everyone could feel the pressure from other teams. This year’s Champions League quarter-finals were really strong. No team could underestimate them. Of course, Leeds United should be the exception.
However, there weren’t many people who had such thoughts. Leeds United were also a difficult team to deal with.
Gianni Infantino looked down at the faces of the coaches below and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. This was what he wanted to see.
Gianni Infantino is the next guest to be drawn in the Champions League quarter-finals. The guest is French star Zidane. You have to know that Zidane has just retired and was invited to participate in this ceremony, which shows Zidane’s fame.
After Zidane stepped onto the stage, Zhong Cheng leaned back slightly and leaned back into his chair. His eyes were fixed on the drawing of lots on the stage.
Julia Olivera slowly reached out her small hand and held Zhong Cheng’s left hand tightly.
Feeling the exquisite and smooth touch coming from his hand, Zhong Cheng was slightly stunned. Then, he turned around and smiled at Julia Oliveira, indicating that the other party was fine.
Julia Olivera smiled sweetly at Zhong Cheng.
At this time, the 2006-2007 Champions League quarter-finals drawing ceremony began.
At this time, the Champions League draw is about to begin, divided into two and a half regions, this is also the last time this season’s Champions League draw.
That’s why the draw concerns all the remaining Champions League matches and the coaches are so nervous.
Here’s the draw, with guest Zidane picking the team first and Gianni Infantino picking the position of the team.
Zhong Cheng’s eyes were fixed on the stage. At this moment, everyone present was staring at the stage. At this time, the drawing ceremony had officially begun. At this time, Zidane’s left hand had already penetrated into the team’s glass jar and started stirring, preparing to draw lots.
Because there were no rules for drawing lots at this time, all teams were placed in the same glass jar, and all positions were placed in the same glass jar.
Zhong Cheng looked at Zidane’s left hand stirring in the glass jar. His heart started to chase after him. Who would be the first to be pulled out?
Countless viewers in front of the TV were also guessing who was the first unlucky person to be pulled out?
Suddenly, Zidane grabbed a small ball with his left hand, causing the hearts of everyone present and in front of the TV set to jump. Which team was inside this small ball? Which team was it?
Zidane took a deep breath, took out the ball and showed it to everyone. Then, he lowered his head and unscrewed the ball with great difficulty. Then, he took out a folded piece of paper from inside. Everyone present and in front of the TV were extremely nervous.
At this moment, Zidane slowly opened the small piece of paper. He secretly took a look at it. This action caused the people in front of the TV and the scene to be very angry. Why did this fellow have so many small actions? It was simply too exciting.
Zidane smiled and flipped the paper over, revealing it to everyone present. It read-Leeds United!
A burst of sighs and cries of alarm came from the scene, and their voices were very loud.
Zhong Cheng’s eyes widened. He hadn’t expected that their Leeds United team would be the first to be drawn out. This was unexpected.
When the first one is pulled out, the rest will still be nervous, because you don’t know when your opponent will be pulled out, and you don’t know who your opponent will be?
At this moment, everyone’s gaze was focused on Gianni Infantino. They wanted to see which half of the district the Leeds United had been assigned to?
Gianni Infantino knew that this wasn’t the time to be nervous, so he didn’t do anything. He opened the folded piece of paper and showed it to everyone. It said–B1!
Leeds United were placed first in the lower half of the region, so they couldn’t tell whether this position was good or bad, so they could only continue to watch. Everyone was getting nervous now, because it was possible that the second one to be drawn would be Leeds United’s opponent. This drawing was so exciting that you could never guess when a team would already be paired up. Don’t want some lotteries to sort a row of teams first, and then pick who their opponents are one by one?
Now, every drawing of lots was very exciting. Zidane started to play his little tricks again, mobilizing the minds of everyone present and in front of the TV set. He was very nervous and anxious.
At this moment, Zidane unfolded a second piece of paper, which read-Valencia CF (Valencia)!
Everyone at the scene cried out in alarm. Oh my God, it can’t be true. Leeds United are going to hit Valencia?
Zhong Cheng and Enrique Flores were both shocked. At the same time, the two of them didn’t even look at each other. Their hearts were extremely nervous, extremely nervous.
Gianni Infantino also unfolded the small piece of paper, but no one saw it at the scene or in front of the TV. Gianni Infantino was the only one who saw it. Everyone was watching Gianni Infantino’s expression. What did they want to see from it?
Gianni Infantino smiled strangely when she saw the contents of the paper in her hand.
Everyone at the scene was shocked. Was it possible for Leeds United and Valencia to be together? The people in front of the TV were also shocked, and at the same time, they were all looking forward to it.
Zhong Cheng and Enrique Flores had ugly expressions on their faces.
Seeing that the atmosphere was enough, Gianni Infantino spun the small piece of paper, and it read–B4!
When they first saw B, everyone’s hair stood on end. Unfortunately, the latter number was 4, not 2, so Leeds United managed to avoid Valencia. This made many people unhappy and uncomfortable. Why didn’t Valencia and Leeds United play together?
Zhong Cheng and Enrique Flores exchanged glances and felt relieved.
The next draw was equally tense, with Zidane drawing third-Manchester United! Gianni Infantino pulled him to A2. This shocked Leeds United and the Valencians, who almost hit Manchester United.
It’s getting more and more tense now, because it’s very likely that the next team to be drawn will be able to play the first game of the Champions League quarter-finals this season, and everyone is looking forward to it.
At this moment, Zidane made another small gesture, mobilizing everyone’s minds. Then, he flicked the small piece of paper over. What appeared in everyone’s eyes was Chelsea!
The players from the teams who had been drawn out in front were all nervous. Who would win against Chelsea? Or will Chelsea start filling the last vacancy?
At this moment, Gianni Infantino, who was smiling strangely, flipped over the small piece of paper in his hand and wrote–B3!
Immediately, the scene was filled with exclamations. The first match of the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season appeared. Chelsea against Valencia!
Enrique Flores’s face tightened. The drawing of lots was terrible.
The next draw was getting more and more exciting. The team Zidane came in contact with was FC Bayern Munich! Gianni Infantino took out a piece of paper that read-A2!
This way, there would be teams in every match, and the next step would be to officially draw the opponents. Every time he pulled it out, there would be a match. This was extremely exciting. Zhong Cheng was also a little nervous. The remaining teams were AC Milan, Liverpool and Roma. Now the fans in England naturally hoped that Leeds United would win the Serie A duo, so that the Premier League teams could all make it to the final.
Zinedine Zinedine Zidane then pulled out the team-Liverpool (Liverpool)!
At this moment, all the media reporters in England became nervous and prayed that Leeds United would not win. Zhong Cheng also stared at the note in Gianni Infantino’s hand. Suddenly, Gianni Infantino turned the piece of paper in his hand and saw that it read–B2!
Zhong Cheng exhaled a little while the English media reporters started to curse. Leeds United versus Liverpool, this was a Premier League civil war.
Next, the drawing of lots had nothing to do with Zhong Cheng, so it was very easy. The penultimate team drawn by Zidane was AC Milan (AC Milan)! On Gianni Infantino’s little piece of paper was-A1! This is AC Milan versus Bayern Munich!
So the final result came out. Zidane took out the last remaining team. The paper said “Roma”. The paper in Gianni Infantino’s hand was also-A3! This meant that there was no shady scene.
In the end, the draw for the 2006-2007 Champions League quarter-finals was as follows: AC Milan against Bayern Munich, Roma against Manchester United; The second half: Leeds United against Liverpool, Chelsea against Valencia.
