Erik Was Confident About the Champions League Quarterfinals Because He Would Receive Remote Assistance from the Master

"Toutiao" reposted—China national football team officially announced its 48-man squad for the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers; Tang Ye, Wu Lei, and Zhang Yuning were temporarily absent.

Next year would be the Qatar World Cup, while the round of 48 in the AFC Asian Cup qualifiers would begin in May.

The timing was quite tricky. Players from the China national football team playing in Europe would basically all run into scheduling conflicts.

Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning would most likely have to return home early to prepare, but whether Tang Ye would go back was harder to say.

After all, getting through a round of 48 would definitely not be a problem for the China national football team.

Tang Ye reposted the China national football team's AFC Asian Cup qualifiers campaign poster on Weibo: (muscle)(muscle)(muscle).

The date arrived at March 19, the day of Bundesliga Matchday 26, Cologne versus Borussia Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund's players had two things to do today. The first was to take down Cologne away from home.

The second was to watch tonight's Champions League quarterfinal draw!

Champions League quarterfinals...

Tang Ye sat in his seat, considering the opponents they might face in the quarterfinals.

The instant Escribá saw Tang Ye's expression, he guessed what the Borussia Dortmund midfielder was thinking about.

"Tom."

Escribá spoke, and Tang Ye raised his head.

"May I sit beside you?"

"Oh, of course. No problem!"

Tang Ye immediately made room for Escribá.

Mr. Ferran's question was entirely unnecessary.

Even if it had not been the respected Mr. Ferran, Tang Ye would still have been willing to give up his seat.

"Actually... the quarterfinals are all right. We just need to focus on the league now."

Escribá spoke slowly.

Of course he valued the quarterfinals, but he also understood Borussia Dortmund's strength.
