Chapter 173
Another match, Chelsea and Schalke 04, ended in a draw.

In this case, Atletico Madrid will have 04 points, Chelsea will have 2 points, Schalke [-] will have [-] points, and Rosenborg will have [-] point. The situation is very clear. Atletico Madrid leads No.[-] Chelsea by [-] points. It is still two rounds in advance to lock the first place in the group.

For Javier, this is very good news. At least in the next two rounds, he can send some substitute players to play, so that the main players can have a good rest.

Focusing back on the league, Atletico Madrid is still in a very good state. They have won consecutive victories in the league without giving anyone else the slightest chance.

The number one position in the league has been occupied by Atletico Madrid, which also makes Real Madrid and Barcelona behind them very unhappy, but they have no way to catch up with Atletico Madrid.

While the competition in the European arena was in full swing, the tense draw ceremony for the top [-] matches began on the Asian side.

Feng Wei, chairman of the Football Association, and Zhu Bo, the head coach of the national football team, were all present to participate in the draw ceremony this time.

The Asian qualifiers for this World Cup started in October, and the specific competition schedule is divided into three steps.

The first stage is the qualifying round. A total of 43 teams in Asia have signed up to participate in the World Cup qualifiers. Therefore, according to the rankings of the previous World Cup, the top five teams are removed, which are Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran and those who joined the AFC. Australia has only been in the league for two years.

The remaining 43 teams, No. 6 to No. 24 are divided into one group, No. 20, five to No. 40 are divided into three groups, and the teams of the two groups are drawn by lottery. In the knockout round, nineteen victorious teams advanced.

Among the nineteen teams that advanced, the eight teams at the bottom once again competed in the knockout rounds. The four victorious teams were combined with the top eleven teams for a total of fifteen teams.

The fifteen teams in the qualifiers, plus the five seeded teams, make up the Top Twenty.

This is the second stage of the game.

Twenty teams will participate in the lottery ceremony in South Africa. The twenty teams will be divided into five groups. The teams in each group will have two rounds of home and away games with the teams in this group. The top two teams in the final group will enter next stage of the game.

The last stage is also commonly known as the top ten. The ten teams are divided into two groups. The top two directly advance to the South Africa World Cup finals. The No. 3 of the two groups will play home and away play-offs. The winner will compete with Oceania. The winner will then go to the play-offs, and the final winner will enter the main draw of the World Cup in South Africa.

It can be said that the competition in Asia is very complicated.

The Huaxia team was listed as the second tier team.

The lottery has officially started, and Zhu Bo is still a little nervous. If he can't recruit Goldwind, Zhu Bo will have to consider which opponents are easier to deal with.

The five groups draw lots according to different gears.

The first to be drawn was Australia, which was placed in the first group.

Australia has always been regarded as a European team, and their strength is regarded as a top Asian team.

The first teams that were then drawn were Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.

Then came the second tier of teams.

Zhu Bo began to get nervous, because Huaxia was in the second tier.

A person came to the stage and started to touch the ball. After touching a ball at random, he opened it for a look, and then unfolded it for everyone to see.

"China." The host shouted.

The second team of the first group was born, and that was the Huaxia team.

Zhu Bo shook his head. I don't know whether this lottery is good or bad. Huaxia has never played against the Australian team seriously. It can be said that Australia is a mysterious team.

After the second tier teams are drawn, the third tier teams will be drawn.

The teams in the third tier are all from West Asia, and none of them are easy to deal with.

Among them, if Zhu Bo is to choose, it is best not to meet any of them. If he has to choose a team that he does not want to meet, Zhu Bo will definitely choose Iraq.

The Iraqi team has a tenacious style and very good strength. If the Asian Cup semi-finals were not for the existence of Goldwind, Zhu Bo absolutely believed that the Huaxia team would be eliminated by Iraq, so Zhu Bo was unwilling to meet Iraq.

Whatever you are most afraid of, will come.

The third team in the first group was drawn to Iraq. Zhu Bo had no expression on his face. This is really not a good draw.

Feng Wei doesn't have much impression of these teams, he thinks any kind of team can bear it.

Teams in pot four are Qatar, Syria, Singapore, Thailand and Turkmenistan.

In Zhu Bo's view, as long as the fourth-tier team is not Qatar and Syria, Zhu Bo is sure to win the game when the other three teams meet.

I don't know if it was because Feng Wei's coming to power brought bad luck to Chinese football, but this time it was actually Qatar.

Zhu Bo felt like he was going to pass out. Isn't this bad luck?In the beginning, it could only be regarded as a good signing, but now it can be clearly said that this is an extremely poor signing.

In the end, all the groupings of the top [-] were over, and Australia, China, Iraq and Qatar were assigned to the first group.

As soon as this group came out, everyone knew that the first group would be the most terrifying group of death.

Australia is regarded as a European-like team, the new Asian Cup champion of the Huaxia team, the third runner-up of the Asian Cup in Iraq, and the champion of the Asian Games in Qatar.

Such a gorgeous grouping situation also made this group the most confusing group.

After the grouping ended, Chinese fans also felt that this grouping was not a very good grouping situation for the Chinese team.

In particular, Qatar and Iraq have ruined China's dream of entering the World Cup three times.

When Zhu Bo was interviewed, he bluntly said that the grouping this time is not a good thing for the Huaxia team. Anyone may enter the top ten and must be dealt with carefully.

Of course, this was Zhu Bo's helpless move. If he could recruit Jinfeng, Zhu Bo wouldn't say such modest words. The situation is compelling.

On the contrary, Feng Wei was very active and enthusiastic.

Feng Wei, who seldom accepts interviews, thanked the media for their concern for Huaxia football. Then, Feng Wei expressed his satisfaction with the grouping situation of the top [-] matches, and said that the Huaxia team had drawn the lottery.

It's not that Feng Wei is blindly confident, but that he really doesn't understand football, and he doesn't understand these teams. He can only rely on the performance of the Asian Cup to estimate the strength of everyone in the game.

Feng Wei felt that Qatar did not qualify in the group, Australia did not enter the semi-finals, and the Iraqi team was defeated by the Chinese team. Against them, the Chinese team should not lose even if Jinfeng is missing.

　The second update is here, begging for various tickets and subscriptions.
