Chapter 354 World Cup Draw
The subsequent CCTV interview was quickly broadcast in China and caused a huge response.
"Xiao Dong's words are very offensive. Doesn't it mean that he won't be released because of the club?"
Some domestic football veterans put forward some personal opinions in the chat about Dong Fangzhuo's exclusive interview.
"It's not that Chinese football will get better if a few kids go abroad to play football. There's something wrong with the whole system. I always feel that something terrible is going to happen in the next few years..."
"This is why I quit Chinese football in time. Before it's too late, I won't play anymore. When the time is right, I may go abroad to acquire a club."
"It's such a pity that there are so many good prospects in China. I have been running football in China for so many years. I know how muddy the water is and how difficult it is to solve."
"Maybe Xiaodong's approach can only save one person. It is naive, but you have to say it is very practical. There is no other way. Before the storm comes, this is the only feasible way."
"It's still far from dawn..."
The person who said these words is another serious football boss in China...
"I wonder which group the Chinese team will be divided into in the World Cup in Germany?"
※※※※
The ten-day international match day is over, and Manchester United players who competed for their country have returned to the club to report.
The 32 teams participating in the finals of the 2006 World Cup in Germany were thus formed. The national teams that participated in the play-offs finally caught up with the last train after two rounds of competition.
The 2006 World Cup draw ceremony was held in Hall 1 of the Messe Exhibition Center in Leipzig, Germany.
The guest of the draw is Pele...
At that time, Pele didn't have such a crow's mouth. At most, his luck was a little bad...
Krauchen accompanied the Football Association leaders in Leipzig. The Chinese team has become the fourth team to appear in the World Cup.
The fantastic Hall 1 of the Convention and Exhibition Center can accommodate 11,000 people, and 350 million fans from 145 countries watched the live TV broadcast. People in the football world who participated in this draw include the top 32 head coaches except Pekerman and famous players such as Havelange, Cruyff, and Rummenigge. Other guests included German President Koehler, female Chancellor Merkel and former Chancellor Schroeder. Merkel gave a speech before the draw.
Supermodel Klum and TV host Beckman hosted the event. The first to take the stage were German President Koehler and FIFA President Sepp Blatter.
Teixeira of the Brazilian Football Association won the Gold Cup, which had been kept for four years, and was handed over by Blatter to German Football Association Chairman Wolfer.
A pre-produced video was played at the venue, introducing the 32 participating teams, host cities and stadiums, and replaying the history of the World Cup, interspersed with representatives of the three stages of German football history, including Ekol, Beckenbauer, Klinsmann and others. talks, magic shows and mascot displays.
Ballack, the new generation core of German football, played the ball and unveiled the official ball for the 2006 World Cup. Popular Latin singer Juanes performed the song "Black Shirt".
FIFA Press Director Siegel appeared and the draw ceremony got down to business. Siegel introduced the lottery rules and procedures.
FIFA divided the 32 teams into 4 pots, with Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico and France determined as the seed teams.
Pot 2 is Angola, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Tunisia, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Australia;
Pot 3 is Croatia, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and Ukraine;
Pot 4 is Iran, Japan, China, Costa Rica, the United States, South Korea, and Trinidad and Tobago. Serbia and Black are special files.
The principle of the draw is that no more than 2 European teams can be in the same group, and teams from other continents cannot be in the same group. Therefore, Serbia and Montenegro, which is listed in the special bracket, can only be grouped with Brazil, Argentina or Mexico.
Germany was assigned the A1 position in advance, and Brazil was assigned the F1 position. This ensures that the two teams can play in the three largest stadiums in Germany.
If the two teams qualify as the top group, they will only meet in the finals.
Pele, Cruyff, Holland, Matthäus, Milla, Kobe Jones, Masashi Nakayama, Karembu and Radebe, representatives from all continents and the next host South Africa, played to assist Siegel. Draw lots.
The first step of the draw determines the group of 6 seeded teams other than Germany and Brazil. Mila, the African representative, drew England (B1) for the first time, and the other five teams also took their places.
Then draw the second pot teams (Africa, South America and Australia) and determine their group positions. When Australia drew Brazil, the venue burst into applause.
In the third step, eight European teams were drawn in the third pot. When the Netherlands avoided Germany, the venue was relieved. The most sensational moment was when the Netherlands was drawn into the group of Argentina.
Step 4: Determine the group to which Serbia and Montenegro belong, and Krum draws Argentina! The Death Group is born.
Step 5 draws the 4th pot (Asian and Central and North American teams).
It doesn't matter how the teams in the first three tiers play. Chinese fans only care about which group the Chinese team will enter?
There are eight groups. In fact, no matter which group you go to, it’s almost the same...
As a result, the Chinese fans waited and waited until their hair turned white and it was not China's turn to be named.
Dong Fangzhuo also sat in front of the TV at home and paid close attention to the draw. He also hopes that the Chinese team can enter a relatively easy group.
As the names of the national teams of Iran, Japan, Costa Rica, the United States, South Korea, Trinidad and Tobago continue to fill in the group.
In the end, the Chinese fans in front of the TV cheered wildly.
I have to say that Bailey's crow's mouth did not pass to his hands. His luck is indeed too good for China, and his hands are holy hands!
Because the Chinese team was finally drawn into the last group, Group H!
Group H features Spain, Ukraine and Tunisia…
"There seems to be hope?"
"Oh my god, China is really lucky!"
"It's entirely possible to qualify from the group this time, right?"
When the Chinese team was placed in the last group, the Chinese fans were indeed quite excited. For the Chinese team, this is definitely a relatively simple group.
Although simple is only relative...
There is a powerful Spain here, but Ukraine in Europe and Tunisia in Africa seem to be relatively weak. Although Ukraine has the nuclear warhead Shevchenko, Tunisia is black and hard...
Anyway, didn’t Chinese fans also fantasize about this during the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan? At that time, the Chinese team was divided into a group with Brazil, Turkey and Costa Rica.
This group is at least not as strong as the previous one...
