The cold wind is howling, and the winter in Croatia is still so cold.

For Dinamo Zagreb fans, they experienced a historic low two years ago.

They were in despair for a season.

But the rebound came just as quickly.

In just one season, they regained the league title and sent a shout to Europe this season.

This cry crossed the Alps and resounded throughout the heart of Europe.

No one believed it before the game. This group of young people brought this team with no Champions League achievements to the Champions League knockout rounds.

They fought their way through double-teams from Real Madrid, Roma, and Leverkusen.

What an amazing feat they performed!

Dinamo Zagreb! ! !

Dinamo Zagreb! ! !

Dinamo Zagreb! ! !

The cold wind cannot take away the fire inside.

It is a full 20 kilometers from the airport to the city.

Both sides were filled with citizens from Zagreb.

In addition to fans, there are also many ordinary citizens who don't pay much attention to football.

At this moment, they are all gathered here.

The city hall dispatched a police car and two police cavalry to escort the entire process.

In the bus, Suk and others looked at the scenery on both sides.

Fans put their arms around each other's shoulders and they jumped up and down.

In the cold wind and under the heavy snow, they tirelessly shouted the name of "Dinamo Zagreb".

Yes!

At this moment, football has transcended itself.

Dinamo Zagreb represents not just a team, but the city of Zagreb and the Croatian League.

The crowd formed a long queue that spread all the way to the city and to their training base.

Only when the bus entered the training base did these young people come back to their senses.

"This is truly spectacular!"

Sirna couldn't help but sigh.

Modric and others also nodded heavily.

They saw the look of expectation in the eyes of these fans.

Different from the moment when they just entered the Champions League, at this moment, these fans also have more desires.

On December 9, the Champions League group stage ended.

The Champions League top 16 roster has been announced.

Group A: Monaco, Liverpool.

Group B: Dinamo Zagreb, Real Madrid.

Group C: Juventus, Bayern Munich.

Group D: Lyon, Manchester United.

Group E: Arsenal, PSV Eindhoven.

Group F: AC Milan, Barcelona.

Group G: Inter Milan, Werder Bremen.

Group H: Chelsea, Porto.

Since Dinamo Zagreb qualified first in the group, their opponents will be the second best in the other groups.

But looking at these lists, which one of these groups is easy to play in second place?

"Why does the second place player in the group feel so strong? Isn't there a team like Yerevan Phoenix?" Duimovich's scalp went numb.

It feels like no matter which team you draw, it will be a headache.

"The Champions League has entered the knockout stage. How can there be weak teams? Don't think about good things!"

The knockout stage of the Champions League begins with a strong dialogue.

There is no real weak team, only a relative one.

Who is in better condition?

Who played the better game.

These can be the keys to advancement.

Boban is right.

The Champions League is a long season. In this cruel schedule, if you want to ensure victory, you have to put in more effort.

Learning, growing, and adjusting are indispensable.

For Suker, as long as AC Milan and Liverpool are not picked in the top 16 of the Champions League, it will be fine.

Of these two teams, one is currently the dominant team in the entire football world.

The other one is the fastest to adjust in the Champions League. Starting from the qualifying rounds, they counterattacked all the way to the finals, and even staged the famous scene of 'Istanbul Night'.

Meeting these two teams is almost equivalent to raising the white flag and surrendering.

The other teams are not without hope of giving it a try!

Since the Champions League group stage, Dinamo Zagreb has also played with confidence.

Especially after the six rounds of the group stage, they continued to make adjustments and even grow. Suker believes that the current Dinamo Zagreb is no longer the same as at the beginning of the season.

Moreover, they will continue to grow.

"The drawing of lots is about to begin!"

Srna suddenly shouted.

Everyone immediately held their breath.

Everyone became nervous at this moment.

At the same time, in bars and homes across Zagreb, fans were nervously watching the lottery ceremony on the TV.

They hope that Dinamo Zagreb can draw a relatively good lottery.

The results of the first round of draws appear.

Juventus VS Real Madrid.

Everyone grinned.

Exciting!

Juventus, which has Trezeguet, Ibrahimovic, Del Piero, Cannavaro and other players, faced off against the Galacticos.

The second round was even more breathtaking.

The current Premier League hegemon Arsenal VS Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich.

Round after round of draws.

Dinamo Zagreb's players felt like they were shaking all over.

Each of these teams is extremely strong.

It was not until the fifth round draw that the team logo of Dinamo Zagrab finally appeared.

"coming!"

At this moment, everyone was focused.

As they watch, the team they need to play appears.

The team emblem has yellow characters on a red background, and there is a trident in the shield in the middle.

This is the team emblem that represents passion, strength and victory.

From the English Premier League, the Manchester United team dubbed the ‘Red Devils’!

"Manchester United?"

Duimovic wiped his eyes and said in disbelief: "Are we going to play Manchester United?"

Others were also silent.

Manchester United!

Under the management of the old Scottish man, this team is known for its iron-bloodedness and tenacity.

Their games are always so passionate and domineering.

It is extremely difficult to defeat such a team.

Even Su Ke remained silent at this time.

Although I thought that the competition would become more intense at the beginning of the Champions League knockout rounds, I did not expect that it would be Manchester United.

After the head coach Besic was silent for a long time, he turned around and clapped his hands and said: "Okay, let's go back and rest today. After the next game, we will enter the winter break. Take a good rest during this period and let yourself go." Let’s adjust our body to the best stage before facing the next Champions League knockout rounds.”

Even Besic was mentally at a loss at this time.

That’s it for other teams.

But can you really win by playing against Manchester United?

This team is not so easy to upset!

Meanwhile, in England, Manchester United's training ground.

The famous Carrington Nine.

When it emerged that Manchester United had been drawn against Dinamo Zagreb, cheers suddenly erupted in the tactical room.

"Good sign! Absolutely good sign!"

"The weakest one was chosen by us!"

"Hahahahaha!! This is awesome!"

Many substitutes were cheering loudly.

Among them is Cristiano Ronaldo, who just joined Manchester United last season and is now known as "Little Ronaldinho".

Ronaldo is now only 19 years old. He has just joined Manchester United and is thinking about how to make a big splash.

And this Champions League draw made him very excited.

This will definitely allow Manchester United to easily reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Compared with other league giants, Dinamo Zagreb is obviously not that strong.

"What are you so happy about?"

Suddenly, a cold scolding interrupted Ronaldo's cheers.

Young Ronaldo looked a little overwhelmed.

Van Nistelrooy was staring at him, his eyes full of displeasure.

Since joining, the relationship between Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy has become increasingly worse.

Ronaldo felt that this guy didn't like him.

In other words, he thinks that Ruud van Nistelrooy thinks he threatens his position and hates himself for it.

"We got a good draw, shouldn't we be happy?" Ronaldo said.

Ruud van Nistelrooy suddenly pointed at Ronaldo and taunted loudly: "Look, his accent, a Portuguese actually wants to learn a Cockney accent! Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard!"

Many players who have a good relationship with Van Nistelrooy also couldn't help but laugh.

The young Ronaldo blushed deeply, and his face became even worse.

"Rudd, it's okay!"

Good old Giggs stepped forward to smooth things over.

As for their captain Roy Keane, he looked like he was watching the show.

Ferguson was also chewing gum and looked on calmly, with no intention of interfering.

However, Ferguson looked at Ruud with some dissatisfaction. Obviously, he supported Ronaldo even more.

After the dispute was suppressed, Ferguson spoke up:

"Whether it will be easy to sign or not is still unknown."

"This Dinamo Zagreb team has qualified first in Group B. They are bound to have the ability to challenge. We cannot be too careless, but before that, we need to play the next game well."

Manchester United's next game.

The famous double red club!

After Chelsea, led by Mourinho, was tied at home in the last round, Ferguson was also very angry.

He plans to take this anger out on Liverpool.

For the Liverpool coach Benitez who expressed contempt for Manchester United, Ferguson also wanted to stuff his mouth full of shit!

Gives you a bad mouth!

The Champions League round of 16 groups have been decided.

Dinamo Zagreb's opponent in the Champions League quarter-finals is the Red Devils Manchester United from the Premier League.

This is a really troublesome opponent.

Manchester United is different from Real Madrid. Their overall ability and performance, especially their concentration and tenacity for the game, are completely different.

Moreover, under Ferguson's iron-fisted management of the team, Manchester United was very disciplined on the field.

It can be said that this is the strongest and strongest opponent Dinamo Zagreb has encountered so far!
