football career from scratch

"The Chinese team won two and one draw. They scored [-] goals and conceded [-] goals. They qualified first in the group. Their offensive power was fully displayed, but there seemed to be some problems in defense. They conceded goals in every game. But what's the problem? When a team's offense can be guaranteed enough, some conceded goals are harmless... More and more people are beginning to pay attention to the Chinese team. In the eyes of most people, the Chinese team is nothing more than a dark horse that disrupts the situation and will not have much impact on the general trend. However, in the group stage, the performance of the Chinese team has proved that they are capable of launching the World Cup championship. Sprinting...Of course, there are many teams capable of doing that."

With the progress of the group stage, the most outstanding team in this World Cup has gradually surfaced.

China is naturally the most competitive team in Asia. Asian teams are still relatively weak in the World Cup. Although the results of Asian teams are better due to military expansion, the only ones that can enter the knockout stage are Japan and South Korea. Australia, they all entered the knockout stage as the third place in the group.

The performance of African teams in this World Cup is mediocre. Although there are many top African players playing in Europe, their biggest problem is the unevenness of good and bad, and the biggest problem for African teams now is that they no longer have European clubs. The core players, they are more in the main lineup of European clubs, including players like Mane, they are not the kind that play a pivotal role in Liverpool, they are just a part of the main lineup.

But their background is still good, Cameroon and Senegal are doing very well.

Mexico, the leader of Central and North America, qualified as the second place in the group. They have always had such strength, and the US team performed well. However, Costa Rica and other teams were a bit more miserable. They either did not group well, or they did not perform well. Get out of the group.

Among the South American teams, the host Argentina performed well, winning all three games and qualifying. The same is true for Brazil. Another team with outstanding performance is Chile. They have many outstanding players.

The strong teams in Europe have achieved outstanding results, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, Portugal... However, England among the traditional strong teams is even worse. They only got to the third place in the group, and it is very likely that they will fail in the knockout round. Meet a top team.

"England's performance is not worthy of the Premier League status."

This kind of criticism has come up again, but for everyone, there are already many such criticisms. The performance of the England national team is not worthy of the status of the Premier League. Such an evaluation of people...

After all the group matches are over, the draw ceremony for the knockout stage will begin immediately.

The first place in the twelve groups, the second place in the twelve groups, and the third place in the eight best-performing groups will be drawn for the knockout round. There will be no match between the first and third place in the group. In the second round of the group, eight teams will face each other.

However, for the first place in the group, they may not encounter good opponents in the draw. In the third group, there are teams like England, Sweden, and Cameroon. In the second group, there are teams like France, Chile, Senegal, and Mexico. , Compared with the first place in the group, they may not be at a disadvantage.

Argentina, Brazil, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, China, Belgium, Portugal and other top-ranked teams all hope to draw a relatively weak team. The state is often not very good, because this will make the team's state better and better. All the strong teams that can finally win the World Cup often have one characteristic, that is, they may perform very well in the group stage, but they are the first in the knockout stage. The state of the field seems to be normal.

After passing the risk under such circumstances, they are often able to get better and better, and finally reach their peak in the finals.

Although not every strong team with average performance in the first round of the knockout round can finally win the World Cup, but this is also a very important condition.

Under such circumstances, it is necessary to encounter a slightly weaker team in the first round of the knockout round, so that they will not suffer too much setbacks in the first round, otherwise they will not be in a good state. When you meet a strong team when you are good, you can only work hard, otherwise, you will be eliminated before you are in good condition...

32 head coaches gathered together, waiting for the final result of the draw.

"I think we will be lucky, maybe we will draw the Japanese team." Zuo Feng said to other players in the meeting room.

"Korea is also good."

"Australia, too."

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another. When Bu Qingyun was asked, Bu Qingyun waved his hand: "What you said is not enough. If you want me to say it, you should meet a strong team, such as England, Chile, Mexico Ah, this kind, with outstanding strength, but also desperate to kill this kind of opponent, that's a great feeling."

"Fuck, you crow mouth, can you stop talking nonsense."

Others extended their middle fingers to Bu Qingyun, and Bu Qingyun smiled: "It's not that I have the habit of being abused, but that it's more valuable for you to train against a strong team. If you don't make more progress, how can we have it?" A chance to win the World Cup?"

"Fuck, he looks down on us, hit him!"

Zhu Yucheng raised his arms and shouted, and found that none of the others moved, so he could only sit down again in embarrassment.

"Watch the live broadcast and watch the live broadcast." Bu Qingyun said.

After the cumbersome ceremony, the meat of the lottery finally arrived—the twelve first-place teams were drawn first, and then the four second-place teams were drawn.

The four second-ranked teams in the group will not meet the first group in the first round of the knockout round, which is relatively a very good position.

In the end, France, Croatia, Uruguay and Mexico became the four lucky ones. The first team in the group breathed a sigh of relief. The strongest team in the second place in the group is probably France and Croatia. Once they meet, the probability of them encountering a strong team is naturally reduced a lot.

The host, Argentina, has drawn a good lottery, and their opponent is the Japanese team, and the next lottery will be a few joys and a few sorrows.

Everyone knows that in the first round of the knockout round, there will definitely be a few strong dialogues, otherwise, the attractiveness of the first round will drop a lot. Even if it is artificially manipulated, FIFA will arrange at least two It came out of three strong dialogues, which is something anyone can think of.

But although I can think of it and understand it, it doesn't mean that those strong teams want to be a part of it-it's impossible to be reduced to the second and third in the group, but as the first in the group, you still have to face it. It is more difficult to think about a strong opponent...

When the Italian opponent was Switzerland, the Italian head coach looked very ugly. Although Switzerland may only be regarded as a second-rate team in Europe, they have produced some outstanding players in recent years. The top players are in the lineup, but there are many players who are close to the top level. If it is not for bad luck in this World Cup group stage, they will not be ranked No.2. You must know that their FIFA ranking is in the top five positions , even better than Italy!It is indeed a very bad choice to encounter Switzerland under such circumstances.

The players of the Chinese team are gloating. They hope that the opponents in front will draw more strong teams, so that the chances of the Chinese team meeting a weaker team will increase a lot.

However, Gao Yuan at the scene was not so optimistic. One thing he knew very well was that the Chinese team did not have any foundation in the World Cup, and although their performance was impressive, they did not have the traditional outstanding performance to give them confidence. They have no status in the World Cup. ...

No status, good grades, impressive performance - if such a team doesn't use it as a gimmick, when will we have to wait?
In other words, the Chinese team is very likely to meet a strong team, maybe Chile, Poland, Colombia in No.2, or England in No.3, who can be sure?

And even if they are assigned with such a top team, they have nothing to complain about. It is normal for a new team to suffer a bit in the World Cup draw. After all, you are not a popular team and you will not receive any preferential treatment.

Coupled with the fact that some strong teams have fallen to the second and third positions, it is not what FIFA wants to do...

So Gao Yuan's mentality is very relaxed now, he still has the mind to chat with several coaches around him, discussing the opponents he may encounter next, with a smile on his face all the time, looking very relaxed.

"The head coach of the national team, Gao Yuan, seems very relaxed, but this is as it should be. The result of the draw is beyond his control. The Chinese team can only play one game in the knockout stage of the World Cup. Against any team, we will have no chance. What has changed? With the performance of the Chinese team in the group stage, they will not be afraid to meet any team! What's more, the strongest teams are basically in the first place in the group, and the Chinese team will not encounter too many problems. test."

The commentator of CCTV commented, but when he saw the opponent getting closer and closer to the Chinese team, he also began to feel a little nervous involuntarily.

"Next, the opponent of the Chinese team will be drawn."

The voice of the master of ceremonies sounded, and a football star walked up, and then put his hand into the goldfish bowl for the lottery.

Take out a little ball, open it, unfold a note, and he's laughing.

"England," he said simply to everyone, and then showed the letters "England" to the camera lens.

There was a big uproar in the audience.
