Chapter 631 The World Cup Begins
In the end, the national team's World Cup squad was announced as scheduled.

This list is basically the same as the top ten list.

The final list of 23 players is as follows:

Goalkeepers: Li Lie, Chen Yuan and Han Qi.

Back line: Guan Lei, Zhang Haitao, Wan Lifeng, Xu Qi, Zheng Jun, Jiang Chao, Gu Yueming, Su Qingfeng, Duan Zhihai.

Midfielders: Gu Dongming, Qi Haiming, Lin Junan, Shi Jinchao, Yu Yang, Jiang Hanyu, Xu Feng.

Forward line: Sun Yixuan, Su Zihan, Zhang Yitao and He Penghui.

After this list came out, it caused a lot of controversy.

Compared with the national team list before the top ten, this list has changed a lot.

The previous national team had only eight players selected, mainly in the midfield.

As for the remaining [-] players, except for Gu Dongming, they were all from the previous Olympic team. There were as many as [-] players.

Some voices of doubt also appear frequently.

But Liu Feiyu didn't stop there.

After the national team assembled, Liu Feiyu adopted closed training.

Then I flew directly to KT country, where the World Cup is held this time.

After arriving, Liu Feiyu still gave the players a day off.

Let's all go shopping around.

The players had already left the hotel. Liu Feiyu was just about to go out. When he passed Zhu Yitong's room, Zhu Yitong just walked out.

Zhu Yitong is dressed in casual attire today, looking extraordinarily energetic.

"Are you leaving too?" Liu Feiyu greeted.

"Yeah, originally we were with Milan, but her plane was delayed, so it might be late at night." Zhu Yitong said.

"I know, she told me, let's pick her up at night." Liu Feiyu said.

"Well, but I have no one to accompany me now." Zhu Yitong said, looking at Liu Feiyu flickeringly with his big eyes.

"Okay, I happen to be fine." Liu Feiyu said with a smile.

"I didn't force you to do this." Zhu Yitong said with a smile.

The city where the national team group match is held is the second largest city in KT country, very prosperous.

It is also a city full of exotic charm.

Throughout the day, Liu Feiyu and Zhu Yitong had a great time.

"It would be great if it could be like this all the time." Zhu Yitong said unsatisfactorily.

"Yes! But we have to pick up Milan now. If we play again, it will be too late." Liu Feiyu said with a smile.

"Too!"

At the airport, Miranda said with some disgust when she saw Liu Feiyu and Zhu Yitong; "Why do you both smell like sweat and didn't take a shower?"

"It's too late." Zhu Yitong said with a smile, "Besides, how interesting is it?"

"It doesn't taste good?" Miranda still looked disgusted, "I tell you two, pay attention to the impact! This is in a foreign country, it would be bad if people smell it."

"Let's go, there are so many things." Zhu Yitong said with a smile.

"That's right. We'll wash up when we get back to the hotel." Liu Feiyu said with a smile as he pushed his luggage.

The national team started training the next day.

As the game approached, the whole city became more lively.

Fans from the four countries in this group also flocked.

Fans from various countries can be seen in the streets and alleys.

There are even more fans from the motherland. In the past few days, outside the training ground of the national team, a large number of fans have gathered from time to time

Naturally, the national team has also arranged several public training sessions, so that fans can get in touch with the national team at close range.

At this time, the first round of the first few groups can already start.

The first round was unexpectedly unpopular, and neither the seeded teams of the first group nor the second group won the first game.

It also makes the rush behind the game less appealing.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the national team's group match.

The first game of the group is the match between XB team and MG team.

In terms of strength, there is still a big gap between the two teams.

But if football can determine the outcome based on strength, it will not be so attractive.

After 10 and [-] minutes of competition, the MG team was unexpectedly upset and beat the XB team by one goal, which also revealed the biggest upset of this World Cup!

The result of this game also surprised the national team.

The plan for scoring points that was originally formulated seems to be changing.

Half an hour later is the match between the national team and the DM team.

"The MG team defeated the XB team!" Liu Feiyu said looking at the players who were about to play, "Then we also have a chance to beat the DM team. Football games are like this. No one can predict the outcome in advance. As long as we do our best, the balance of victory will be in our favor! Come on everyone!"

"come on!"

In the live broadcast seat, the commentator was talking with Director Yang.

"Director Yang, the average age of our national team this time is less than 25 years old. It can be said to be a young army. What do you think of our national team this time?" the commentator said.

"Our country this time is indeed very young, but even so, we cannot be said to be the youngest among all the teams participating in the World Cup, and we have not yet ranked in the top three." Director Yang said: "Actually, age is not the key. There are many factors that affect the outcome of the game."

"Well, what do you think of the prospects of the national team in this World Cup?" asked the commentator.

"Naturally, I hope that the national team will go as far as possible!" Director Yang said with a smile, "But first we have to qualify from this group."

"Yes," the commentator said: "But in the first game of the group, the MG team defeated the XB team, the favorite to win the championship. Will this affect the national team's qualifying?"

"It will definitely. After losing this game, the XB team will definitely try to win the next two games. We will definitely not play well in the next game, but the MG team won the game and scored three points. It also occupies a very favorable position. All these are bad factors for us." Director Yang said: "However, as long as we do our best and play well game after game, there is still hope for qualifying."

"Yes, first of all we have to play well today's game against DM." The commentator said.

"That's right, if you want to qualify for the group stage, you must at least score points in this game!" Director Yang said.

"Well, well, we now have the starting lineup for the national team for this game, let's see,
The goalkeeper is Li Lei, the central defenders Guan Lei and Wan Lifeng are on the back line, and the two full backs are Zheng Jun and Xu Qi. This has not changed from the top ten games.

In the defensive midfielder position, the veteran Duan Zhihai returned from injury, and his partner was Su Qingfeng.The double lower back was discharged today.The two wingers are Qi Haiming and Jiang Hanyu, and the two forwards are Su Zihan and Sun Yixuan.

No high center was sent today.

Director Yang, what do you think of this starting lineup? "The commentator looked at Director Yang and said.

"The DM team's style of play is focused on playing high and high. We don't have an advantage in height, so we will send two players who focus on speed and foot skills. Looking at this formation, Director Liu probably wants to play a defensive counterattack." Director Yang said.

"Okay, now players from both sides can enter the field, let us wish the national team a good start!" said the commentator looking at the field.
