Horror scenarios awaiting seniors of Europe... and Mourinho fears of two!!

If you are one of the faint-hearted, which do not bear the big excitement, at the same time a fan of eight greats in Europe, you are required not to pursue the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League which its ceremonies will be performed in Nyon, Switzerland.

Eight seniors who have succeeded in booking their seats in the biggest and most important tournament in the World Cup, the Spanish trio Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and German duo champions Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund of Germany, and the English duo Chelsea and Manchester United, as well as Paris St Germain.

Procedures of the draw, Although it probably will not exceed ten minutes, but it will be ten minutes as a summit in excitement and grinds terrifying scenarios for eight senior, the reason behind it first is the great value for each team, and suffice it to say that six of them have already achieving the title, at the time remains the duo Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid, who have strong chances to achieve first title.

The second and most important reason is that the draw would not be directed, as happened in the draw for the first knockout round, but the draw will be open to all possibilities and difficult scenarios with the possibility of two teams of one country to face.

Scariest scenario will carry names both of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich on the grounds they were the most ready and best in Europe during this period, namely, the confrontation between the two will clash as a real final of the tournament, the draw will not be fair if this resulted in a confrontation.

The second nightmare scenario in the lottery is the Spanish Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona, and everyone knows the great value of this confrontation, which are usually most attention in the world, whatever the level of both.

It will not be less difficult to rivals if one occurred in the face of stubborn Atletico Madrid, the remarkable level domestic and European team, which has an ability to stand in front of the strongest teams.

Barcelona in turn feared scenario is more difficult if he faced by Bayern Munich, and perhaps sevenfold last year carried by the Blaugrana from the Bavarian giants in the semi-final of the tournament is not far away, at a time when Barcelona two more than it was last year.

Another side in this confrontation potential Bavarian Catalan, which they will be the first official confrontation between Guardiola and his former team, after they met in a friendly last summer and Bayern won under the leadership of Pep duality.

By mentioning Guardiola, the talk takes us to the arch-rival Jose Mourinho and everyone knows what happened between them when they were driving seniors of Spain, it is surly that "Mo" does not like to collide with Guardiola and Bayern again, at least at this stage, especially as he failed in the test of the European Super.

Mourinho feared another scenario, which is the face of Real Madrid for two reasons: first, the good level provided by the club these days, and the second is that it will be the first encounter between him and his former club And usually these confrontations carry sensitivity of a particular kind, especially since the Portuguese coach leaving Real at the end of a difficult season in which did not achieve any title.

Trio Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund will not be ordinary guests of private club Parisian of level featured during the last two years, comes after, but to a lesser extent English duo of German who are going through difficult circumstances somewhat contrary to what the duo were in recent years, but their names keep enough to put the opponent under pressure.

Observers of the Champions League will find that Spain has succeeded in maintaining the presence of three clubs in the quarter-finals for the second year in a row with the entry of Atletico replaced Malaga, and the same applies to the German duo Bayern and Prussia.

On the other side of the draw for the European Union being the quarter-finals of the Europa League, which is determined by the features the final on Thursday evening after the end of the meetings knockout.

And it qualified for this role Juventus and Lyon, Valencia and Sevilla, Portuguese Porto and Benfica and FC Basel and AZ Alkmaar.

Mourinho refuses the Mancini "call" at dinner if he lost from Galatasaray!

 

The Portuguese coach of Chelsea Jose Mourinho Keep on his controversial character after he considered that the only common thing that collects him with Italian coach Galatasaray Roberto Mancini is they are coaches.

This issued statement by the team coach comes on the eve of London's upcoming game against Galatasaray in the second leg of the second round of the Champions League (first leg ended in a 1-1 draw).

And Mancini comes back to England again after he left her in May 2013 following the dismissal of Manchester City, who coached the team since 2009, and led the team to the league title in 2012 and the cup in 2011.

Mancini has been suggested to play the nerves of Mourinho that invites him to dinner in the event that the Galatasaray skips Chelsea today and reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but the response of the Portuguese coach was clear and rude to some extent when he said at a press conference on the eve of the meeting: "No. this matter (the call) I do not care., I do not do similar things that was in the case of defeat or victory., I do what I like I do. With Mancini, the only common thing between us is that we are coaches. "

And the upcoming game today after the draw back in Istanbul, Mourinho said: "It's easy. If you look at the score, it ended 1-1., and if you look at the game, there was a dominant team in the first half and another in a dominant second half. In natural conditions, it is expected to a similar test match and must wait for the final whistle to know (the result). I do not think the result would be a foregone conclusion with the halftime break. "

Mourinho confirmed that he does not face any inferiority complex or pressure to deliver the London club to the final, something which has failed to achieve during his adventure with him unlike the first two coaches ahead beyond, Avram Grant and Italian Roberto Di Matteo.

Mourinho Turning to the return of striker Didier Drogba to the stadium, "Stamford Bridge" to face his former team, saying: "It's one of the most important players in the history of this club, this is unquestionable. We all, fans of Chelsea, are in agreement on this matter. We cannot say he is the best player over in the club's history, because this will not be just right the other players. He is at the age of thirty-sixth the same player who was in the sixth century? No one as well. but one of the best scorers in the world and this is no doubt. "

As for the possible return of Drogba to Chelsea again, as did the Portuguese coach last summer after six years away from the "Stamford Bridge", he replied: "It is not the time to answer it. There is a big game ahead of us tomorrow. He is a Galatasaray player, and this it (talk about returning to Chelsea) improper. We know that he will be free at the end of the season and that his contract will end. "

And Mourinho continued, "My desire is not taken into account, but what matters is the desire of Chelsea. This matter (the return of Drogba) will happen one day but I do not know when. As a player, coach, today, tomorrow and after 10 years ... when a player means a lot for the club when the club means a lot to this player, and this is the case, then the person will return one day. "

Drogba will not be the only player who played under the supervision of Mourinho and will face the Portuguese coach in today's game, but there is also a Dutchman Wesley Sneijder, who was crowned with the title of the Champions League in 2010 when the men were with Inter Milan.

Coach Real Madrid spoke in the face of the former Dutch midfielder, saying: "It's one of the best of wearing the number 10 shirt in the world. It's that simple."
