Chapter 385 World Cup Draw

In the end, although the two magazines failed to buy Bai Xiaotian's portrait rights as they wished, Bai Xiaotian's figure still appeared on the cover of the latest issue.

"Cover" is Bai Xiaotian wearing the uniform of the national football team, doing Bruce Lee's kicking pose; while "Character" is Bai Xiaotian's shirtless body, wearing the sunglasses requested by the sponsor, showing off his eight-pack abs to the camera.

The two magazines came out almost at the same time, and many of Bai Xiaotian's diehard fans bought one each in the United States and China as collections. Twenty years later, the value of the two "supporting" magazines has doubled by a thousand times, and there is no market for it.

The reason for the two magazines to make such a decision is very simple. Besides Bai Xiaotian's tough attitude, there is also Bai Xiaotian's performance in Eindhoven.

Bai Xiaotian's goal was like a flood from the gate, no one could stop it.

On October 10, Eindhoven played against Waalwijk at home.Bai Xiaotian, who was in good form, scored a goal in the first and second halves and scored twice to help Eindhoven win 27-2 at home.

On October 10th, Eindhoven was a guest at Turk Telekom Stadium to face the overlord Galatasaray.

Last season's Europa League champion was Eindhoven, and the last Europa League champion was Galatasaray.

That year, Galatasaray won the quadruple titles of Turkish Super League, Turkish Cup, Europa League, and UEFA Super Cup, and its reputation reached its peak.And in all the Europa League games that season, they remained unbeaten.

In this Champions League group stage, the first round of the contest between the two sides was a small victory for Eindhoven.But after Galatasaray returned to the home court, they also played with the mentality of cleaning up Eindhoven.

But God failed, and PSV was extremely tenacious in defense.Even if there are almost no fans of your own side in the surrounding stands, even if Eindhoven has already qualified ahead of schedule, there is no desire or desire.But Gretz still didn't want to give his opponent any chance.

After nine and 10 minutes of fierce fighting between the two sides, just when everyone thought the game would end in a draw.Bai Xiaotian once again used his classic header to help the visiting team kill the opponent.

In the end, after the group stage, Bai Xiaotian's goals in the Champions League reached 8.The second-ranked Lord of the Rings Raul only scored 4 goals.

If there is no accident, the golden boot of this year's Champions League will fall into the hands of a Chinese who is participating in the Champions League for the first time.

Bai Xiaotian's impressive record has amazed all the fans around the world.

Goal, goal, goal.It seems that no team can stop Bai Xiaotian from scoring goals, and even some head coaches focus on how to play against PSV, how to use the efforts of the whole team to win the game with more goals than Bai Xiaotian.

With the gradual end of the Champions League group competition, the future of the four teams in Group D has also come out.

Eindhoven and Nantes entered the quarter-finals as the first and second in the group, while Galatasaray went to the Europa League to play in the group stage. Lazio didn't get mixed up. He still has a seat in the Europa League qualifiers.

On November 11, Eindhoven beat Sparta 3-2 in an away game.Although Bai Xiaotian only scored one goal in this game, it was this goal that helped Eindhoven equalize the score when they were behind by one goal.

On November 11, Bai Xiaotian still maintained a high scoring efficiency.After a pass and a shot, Eindhoven won Nijmegen 16-3 at home.

All of this was seen by the fans, and they became even more convinced that as long as there is the goodbye boy, Eindhoven's victory is a sure thing.

During this period of time, Bai Xiaotian's active performance on the field made his public opinion among the people fall to his side.And Mario seems to have recognized the reality. Apart from explaining the plot according to Bai Xiaotian's script, he didn't mention anything about Mushroom Head XD, which made Bai Xiaotian very satisfied.

In the end, after Bai Xiaotian and Mario each paid a fine, the matter came to an "anticlimactic" end.Of course, the money from Mario was also provided by Bai Xiaotian privately.

The turmoil of Bai Xiaotian's beating was gradually revealed, and the results of the draw for the eighth group stage of the Champions League were also announced.

Sixteen teams were divided into four groups.Four teams in each group will compete in home and away games, and the top two teams in each group will advance to the quarterfinals.The UEFA Champions League system at this time is like this. In the two group matches, the error tolerance rate is still very high.

In the end, Eindhoven was assigned to Group A of the death group.The other three teams are Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, Boavis and the Red Devils Manchester United.To get ahead in this group, Eindhoven must eliminate a strong opponent.

On November 11th, in the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals of Group A, Eindhoven challenged Alaves away.Although it was an away game, Bai Xiaotian scored the only goal of the game as soon as Eindhoven started.After the group scored three points in the first game, Eindhoven has won five consecutive victories in all competitions.

Eindhoven is in full swing. In the intercontinental arena, the world preliminaries of all continents are also coming to an end.

The European zone and the South American zone ended last. Germany and Uruguay caught up with the last train of the World Cup at the last moment.

Successfully qualified for the World Cup finals are: Asia: Japan, South Korea, China, Saudi Arabia.

Europe: Russia, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Croatia, Spain, Italy, England, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Slovenia, Turkey.

Africa: Cameroon, South Africa, Tunisia, Senegal, Nigeria.

South America: Argentina, Ecuador, Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay.

After the confirmation of the 32 Japan and South Korea World Cup teams, on November 11, FIFA held a press conference in Busan, South Korea. FIFA Secretary-General Ru Feining announced that the grouping principles for the 28 Korea-Japan World Cup were the same as those for the 2002 World Cup in France.Except for the hosts, Japan and South Korea, which naturally became the first seeded team, the national football team and Saudi Arabia were both placed in the third seed.

Rufining also emphasized that a decision has been made at the FIFA Executive Committee meeting that the national football team will be arranged to play in South Korea, no matter what happens during the group draw.In addition, teams from the same continent (except Europe) cannot be divided into the same group, and the result is that the national football team can only fall into Group A or Group C.

On December 12, the 1 Korea-Japan World Cup group draw ceremony was held at the Busan Convention and Exhibition Center in South Korea. Women's football international Sun Wen participated in the draw as one of the 2002 ambassadors.Some fans sitting in front of the TV saw that when Sun Wen came to the stage to draw lots, they had the illusion that the men's football team needed to be saved by the women's football team.Is men's football too stinky?Or is women's football too strong?Watching Sun Wen stretch out her hand on the screen, the fans all held their breath and burned incense and worshiped Buddha.

In the end, the national football team was assigned to Group C.And the result of this group is exactly the same as Bai Xiaotian's previous life.

The seeded team is Brazil and the second tier team is Türkiye.The national football team is the third tier, and the fourth tier is Costa Rica from North America.

As soon as the lottery results came out, the Chinese Football Association delegation expressed their satisfaction with the lottery results.Duo Geng vowed on the spot to strive to play every game well and never give up any chance of entering the top 16.

Bai Xiaotian didn't care about the result of the national football draw, because before that, Eindhoven led by Bai Xiaotian encountered a difficult opponent.
