After successfully killing Bari away, Fiorentina's next match was Inter Milan led by two former Fiorentine players, Robert Baggio and Djokaf.

However, before the 20th round of Serie A, one major event has temporarily attracted the attention of Fiorentine fans, and that is the draw ceremony of the European Champions League knockout match held in the middle of this week!

UEFA, which is rare to show off its presence, will naturally not give up this opportunity to attract people's attention and make profits easily. They commercially packaged the lottery ceremony to further enhance the influence of the Champions League; at the same time, UEFA also sold the broadcasting rights to Murdoch's Sky TV at a high price, making a small fortune.

Zhuang Mingge, who was a representative of Florence to participate in the lottery ceremony, immediately saw many familiar faces after entering the ceremony venue: Real Madrid boss Lorenzo Sans, Barcelona chairman Nunes, Bayern Munich chairman Beckenbauer... These big guys who stomp their feet will make European football tremble for a while all appeared at the draw ceremony.

The reason why these people appeared here is similar to Zhuang Mingge, because the leagues of various countries are about to enter the critical sprint stage at this time, and the head coaches of each team obviously do not have the time to go to such occasions to talk big. For the head coaches, it is more in line with their own interests to lead the team to achieve a good result or even win one or several championship trophys.

But for each club, UEFA has to give face. After all, they also sent them a formal invitation. Regardless of refuting the other party's words, it will inevitably bring unnecessary disasters. Therefore, Beckenbauer, Nunes and other bigwigs were invited to appear here to support the lottery ceremony.

In this Champions League quarterfinals, Italy teams occupied four of them. In other words, all the four Serie A teams participating in the European Champions League this season passed the group stage and entered the knockout stage. This result naturally made all Serie A fans cheer for it.

"Tony, which team do you think we Fiorentina will meet in the quarterfinals this time?" Karin asked softly beside Zhuang Mingge, "Can it be that any team accidentally fell to the second place in the group to qualify for the giant club, right?"

"I think our opponent in the quarterfinals should be a team that is not easy to deal with. Karin, think about it, Fiorentina has completed two consecutive championships in the Champions League, which can almost be said to be invincible. So, I think UEFA may cause some trouble for us in terms of schedule and competition opponents." To be honest, Zhuang Mingge did not have much expectations for Fiorentina's signing this time, because he knew that UEFA would definitely not allow Fiorentina to complete several consecutive championships in the Champions League like Ajax or Bayern Munich twenty years ago.

If you know who the championship is before the season begins, then for neutral fans, the appeal of football games to them will drop dramatically.

Therefore, whether it is for the suspense of the game, its attractiveness to fans, or the huge benefits brought by the Champions League, UEFA cannot make Fiorentina's path in the Champions League too smooth. Even if it cannot stop them from entering the finals, it must create enough gimmicks and more powerful confrontations in the process.

Zhuang Mingge guessed right. After Fiorentina completed a series of championships in the Champions League last season, UEFA began to set more obstacles for Fiorentina. The reason is the reasons mentioned above.

Platini, who was already looking at Florence, pulled a group of brothers and expressed strong support for this; unexpectedly, Old Johnson, who had always wanted to promote Florence as a new generation of European football label, also expressed his approval of this voice.

In the eyes of Old Johnson, if you want to promote Fiorentina as the strongest team in Europe, it is obviously far from enough to rely on one or two Champions League championships. After all, giants like AC Milan and Bayern Munich have had this experience, not to mention Real Madrid, which has six Champions Leagues. Therefore, if Johnson wants to make Fiorentina famous, then Fiorentina must show convincing everyone in all competitions.

There is no need to say much about the domestic arena. Although Zi Lily just set a record of 76 consecutive unbeaten games in the Serie A, it cannot be said that she is a future generation, but she is definitely unprecedented in the five major leagues.

Therefore, if Fiorentina can defeat a giant team on the road to the throne of the Champions League this season and successfully win the final championship trophy, then even if Johnson blatantly takes the initiative to support Fiorentina, you can have enough confidence - if you have the ability, you can find a team that can be compared with Fiorentina!

Although football is a team sport, it cannot be missing superstars, because the former is the foundation of football, while the latter is the key element to attract fans... Many people start by liking a certain star and gradually fall in love with the sport of football.

What Johnson has to do now is to build Fiorentina into a European star team!

Just as Zhuang Mingge and Karin were whispering, the draw ceremony for the Champions League knockout stage had officially begun under the guidance of the host!

Since Fiorentina qualifies as the top group in the Champions League, Purple Lily's opponent in the 8th final will be generated from eight teams that won the second place in the group; and, according to the principle of avoidance of its own team and teams in the 8th finals formulated by UEFA, Fiorentina was able to avoid Real Madrid in the group stage, as well as Parma and Inter Milan, who qualify as the second place in the group stage.

In other words, Fiorentina's opponents in the quarterfinals will be produced from five teams, including Arsenal, Dortmund, La Coruña, Newcastle United and Ajax.

According to Zhuang Mingge's judgment, Newcastle and La Coruna, which are not very famous in European football, obviously cannot become opponents of Fiorentina; Ajax, who has suffered severe blood loss in recent years and has a close connection with Fiorentina, cannot be spotted by UEFA. If it is said that the Dutch deliberately let the water go, it would be a big deal; Arsenal has always been a soft-footed shrimp on the European court since Graham resigned, and it is not worth fearing.

Therefore, the team that Fiorentina is most likely to meet in this round is their old acquaintance in the Champions League, from the Bundesliga Dortmund Club.

The final draw result was not beyond Zhuang Mingge's expectations. As a special guest of this draw ceremony, Welsh legend Ian Rush drew Bundesliga giants Dortmund and Fiorentina together!
