"That's right, it's Dynamo Kiev." Seeing Karin and Groz's surprised expressions, Zhuang Mingge felt the great-looking Zhuang Mingge said proudly.

"Antonio, why are you optimistic about Dynamo Kiev?" Groz was still the first to jump out and expressed doubts about Zhuang Mingge's view. "Which of the three teams, Arsenal, Inter Milan and Liverpool, is not as famous as it. In terms of the number and quality of the stars, this Ukrainian team does not have an advantage... What is it worth looking at it so differently?"

"Although Dynamo Kiev, its biggest advantage over the other seven teams is that it has a world-class head coach." Zhuang Mingge quickly answered the questions raised by Groz Jr. and said.

"Tony, are you talking about Coach Valery Lobanovsky?"

"That's right, you must not underestimate the role of an excellent coach." Zhuang Mingge said seriously, "As the saying goes, a soldier will be a group of people. If there is no excellent coach leading the team, then no matter how many good players there are, it will be useless."

"But Wenger, Robson, and Hollier are also excellent head coaches." Groz Jr. seemed not to want to admit defeat so easily, and still tried hard to refute.

However, Groz Jr. obviously did not notice that she inadvertently excluded Inter Milan's coach Simeone from the category of "excellent head coach".

"Yes, they are indeed excellent head coaches, but compared to Lobanovsky, Wenger and Hollier's psychological endurance is much worse. Often when it is their turn to boost morale, they will be depressed by themselves; Old Robson is not inferior to Lobanovsky's ability, but unfortunately, Eindhoven's overall strength is simply not as good as Dynamo Kiev, which has been hard-working for many years."

While Zhuang Mingge explained to Karin and Groz the little one that he was optimistic about Dynamo Kiev, the lottery ceremony was also underway.

In the first half, except for Liverpool and Monaco mentioned earlier, the remaining three pairs have also been released: Ajax's opponent is the Zebras Juventus, Inter Milan and Kaiserslautern, who owns Inter Milan's former player Sforza, were drawn together, and Manchester United met with Dutch giant Eindhoven in the quarterfinals.

Compared with the first half, the grouping in the second half is obviously more gimmick. Real Madrid met Dynamo Kiev, the dark horse team predicted by Zhuang Mingge. Whether the La Liga giants can overcome the cold weather in Ukraine in early March will become the key to these two rounds; Bayern Munich met Benfica in the quarterfinals, and Rui Costa, who transferred from Fiorentina to Hollywood in the Bundesliga this season, will play with his parent team in the quarterfinals; Parma's opponent is Porto, Crespo, Cannavaro, Buffon and other stars, the Milk Legion led by stars such as Portuguese Super League giants Porto, Crespo, Cannavaro, and Buffon, making their debut in the Champions League knockout match is the biggest highlight of this showdown!

In this way, the last Fiorentina, who has not been assigned yet, was naturally drawn to the last position in the lower half, and the opponent was Arsenal, which Zhuang Mingge guessed!

Seeing this result, Zhuang Mingge couldn't help but laugh, while Karin and Groz turned their heads to look at him at the same time, with incredible expressions on their faces.

"You guessed it again by Tony..." Karin couldn't remember how many times she was speechless about Zhuang Mingge's predictions. "Although Beckenbauer explained to you in advance, you guessed too accurately, right?"

"Well, this is actually no big deal. As long as you master the method, the result can be easily guessed." Zhuang Mingge scratched the back of his head and explained to Karin, "After all, among these eight teams, there are only three companies that are not much worse than Fiorentina. Among them, Inter Milan cannot meet us because of the principle of avoidance of their own teams. In this way, there are only two options left: Liverpool and Arsenal."

"And, in the group stage of the Champions League last season, Liverpool was our Fiorentina defeat. One summer was not enough to make the Reds, who were not very active, undergo earth-shaking changes in overall strength. Wenger led Arsenal to break the dream of Manchester United's three consecutive championships last season and won the double championships in the league and the FA Cup." After listening to Zhuang Mingge's narrative, Karin suddenly realized that she learned this theory very smartly. "So, UEFA considers this and is likely to expel Liverpool and let the most reliable Arsenal deal with us."

At this time, Wenger, who had also learned the results of the lottery, walked towards Zhuang Mingge's location with a smile. It seemed that he was planning to have a relationship with his old acquaintance.

"Yo, isn't this Arcena?" Zhuang Mingge, who saw Wenger coming to greet him and knew that he could not be rude on such occasions, greeted enthusiastically, and at the same time made a small joke. "I didn't expect that my Fiorentina will be drawn with the Arsenal you coached this time. I hope you can save me some face in the game for the sake of our many years of interactions, so that Fiorentina will lose too ugly. How about it?"

Hearing Zhuang Mingge's words of unconventionality, Wenger almost fainted without breathing. He thought to himself that Fiorentina, your Fiorentina, is much better than Arsenal, whom I coached, in any aspect. At that time, if Arsenal is not packaged and taken away by Fiorentina, I should burn the incense. He also said that I would give Fiorentina some face in the game and not let you lose too ugly? Just kidding, wouldn't you bring such a thing!

"Haha, Antonio, you are really good at joking. Who doesn't know that Fiorentina is the strongest team in Europe?" Wenger, who roared in his heart, barely stabilized his mind, and at the same time squeezed a smile on his face, saying, "I'm here to find you this time, but I want you to help Capello."

"Well, Arcena, I'm afraid I can't help this." Hearing Wenger's request, Zhuang Mingge spread his hands and said helplessly, "Although Coach Capello is my employee, he is fully responsible for the team affairs. My boss has no right to speak in this regard."

"Oh, that's a shame. I hope that Coach Capello can let me go rationally and let us not lose too badly." Wenger shrugged and said in a regretful tone.

Afterwards, Wenger and Zhuang Mingge exchanged some views on other topics before saying goodbye and leaving.

"Tony, it seems that Coach Wenger is deliberately showing weakness in front of us so that we can take Arsenal lightly, so that he can benefit from it in the game." Karin said as he looked at Wenger's back as he left.
