Godfather of national football

Chapter 574 World Cup Draw ([-])
"Okay, I will definitely help you with this."

Everyone is looking forward to it, who is so unlucky to be in the same group as the host, and the teams in the second tier are also good, teams from Africa and South America.

Finally, the unlucky one appeared, Cameroon.

The image flashed on the big screen, and the flag of Cameroon ran to Group A. Russia's first opponent was born, and it was also the opponent of the opening match.

Batty smiled and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

Tuo Weng chuckled, "To be honest, I don't really understand football."

Then it was the turn of the second opponent in Group B.

B1 is occupied by the European Cup champion Portugal. This time, Ronaldo is also here. The camera is on Ronaldo. If there is no accident, this should be Ronaldo's last World Cup.

"So who is the second team in Group B?"

Batty turned the small note in his hand, "Nigeria."

Ronaldo is also applauding, this is a good pick, Nigeria is a medium-strength team.

Then Batistuta drew out the teams in the second tier one by one, so that the top two in each group have already been produced.

The embryonic form of the group of death is not yet visible, because X has not been officially announced, but after the third gear is drawn, the embryonic form of the group of death will gradually become clear.

Pot [-] is from Asia, North America and the Caribbean, and the Chinese team is among them. Teams from this region used to come to the World Cup to play soy sauce, but in recent World Cups, this situation no longer exists. In the World Cup in Brazil, the two dark horses, China and Costa Rica, were the teams in Pot [-].

Tuo Weng once again invited a new guest, the Russian Arshavin. This is a custom, and the guests of the lottery must have the host player.

"I grew up reading your books," Arshavin said with a smile.

"I grew up watching you play football."

Hahaha, there was a burst of laughter at the scene, maybe the people in the robot development team who played Tuo Weng really grew up watching Arshavin play football.

But Arshavin is indeed a literary youth. During the 2012 European Cup, when his teammates were warming up, Arshavin sat alone on the bench and read a book. It was later known that he was reading a book by Haruki Murakami.

"I can only say that it is a pity that if you are 10 years younger, you will be able to participate in the World Cup in Russia next year."

"This is actually my dream, too bad."

"Okay, then you can complete today's task first, and help us draw the third team."

Arshavin laughed at himself: "It's a bit stressful, especially for the group A draw."

"It's okay, we'll forgive you,"

"Why do you say that? I haven't done anything wrong yet."

Hahaha.

"Iran."

When Arshavin drew Iran, there was a burst of laughter on the scene, which is the top draw for Russia.

"You have drawn a good lottery," Tuo Weng said.

Arshavin pursed his lips and shrugged, "Who knows?"

"Oh no, what I mean is that if you didn't draw the Chinese team, it's a good sign."

Hahaha.

Obviously because of the relationship of the last World Cup, Costa Rica and China are the teams that everyone wants to avoid in the third tier.

Arshavin felt relieved that he didn't cheat his own country, and immediately relaxed, and then the camera showed Li Guo again.

The Russians are very concerned about who will be in Group B. If it is not for the Chinese team, then the so-called host curse is theoretically impossible.

This robot is obviously highly intelligent. Before Arshavin drew the second lottery, he jokingly asked, "Have you ever heard of the curse of the host?"

"What is the host spell?"

"There is a team that has stepped on the host for three consecutive years."

Such an obvious hint amused everyone at the scene, and Arshavin was also amused: "I know people in the football circle are very superstitious, but I am also. For example, if I am used to a certain brand of shin guards, I will not change them."

"In other words, you believe in spells?"

"No, I don't think I know."

"That's the best."

This remark aroused everyone's interest. Originally, everyone's interest was in the group of death, but now there is an extra host spell. Whatever it is, let's just watch it.

After being told by Tuo Weng, Arshavin became nervous again. He took out a small ball and said to himself, "It's not China, it's not China."

He almost stamped his feet angrily when he opened the ball.

"Chinese team."

There was warm applause at the scene, and everyone didn't know what they were happy about, they just thought it was interesting.

Because even if the Chinese team is drawn to Group B, it may not necessarily meet Russia in the knockout round, but theoretically, this possibility is already very high.

At this time, what Li Guo thought was Andy Lau's "God's Will" - if everything is God's will, everything is fate, no one can escape.

Tuo Weng pretended to be frustrated, "Well, I can only say that this is even weirder than my novel, but what can I say."

Then the teams in the third pot also took their positions, and then came the last pot, which is the European team.

First of all, what Gullit wants to announce is the unlucky X, this time the unlucky is the Netherlands, and then Gullit will come to the teams that have drawn the fourth tier one by one.

At this time, the most nervous thing for Chinese fans is of course that B is rented. Portugal is already a strong opponent, and there are no underdogs in Europe. If there is another France or something, should they still play?

When Gullit was drawn to Group B, the Chinese fans in front of the TV were very nervous, for fear of another group of death.

At this time, Tuo Weng spoke again, "Group B already has the European champion and the Asian champion. Let's see who the fourth team is."

Gullit stirred gently in the glass jar and caught a ball. There was no pressure for him, because the fate of his homeland, the Netherlands, had already been determined, and now it was time to decide the fate of others.

"Croatia."

As Gullit read out Croatia, all four teams in Group B were formed, Portugal, Nigeria, China, and Croatia.

"This group is not easy to play," Chen An said.

The main reason is that there are two European teams, both of which are very strong European teams, which is really unlucky.When the top 32 on the big screen are in their respective positions, it is like a treasure map slowly unfolding, containing infinite possibilities.

The draw ceremony is over, and the World Cup in Russia is about to start. The teams are also planning to prepare several friendly matches next year, where they will be held, and their locations in Russia.

Walking out of the venue, Chen An asked, "Going back to the hotel?"

"no."

"Then why?"

"Follow me, let's go skiing."
