On June 29, after a brutal single-round robin group battle, the list of the top 16 of the 2018 World Cup was finally released.

Group A: Uruguay, Russia.

Group B: Spain, Portugal.

Group C: France, China.

Group D: Croatia, Argentina.

Group E: Brazil, Switzerland.

Group F: Sweden, Mexico.

Group G: Belgium, England.

Group H: Colombia, Japan.

The group stage can be described as exciting, whether it is Russia's first match against Saudi Arabia in the opening match, or Argentina's redemption battle with Messi, or China, known as the darkest horse, reaching the round of 16.

This group stage can be described as full of passion, excitement and surprise.

In Asia, China and Japan qualified together, while South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Iran were eliminated, but it was surprising that South Korea took Germany with them before leaving.

Many people feel that Germany has no problem in the round of 16 despite their poor performance.

But the championship curse was haunted, and in the end, the defending champion left the World Cup stage early, and even the media were a little sorry for the German team, and at the same time criticized the German coach Loew's passing tactics.

Of course, this is only a small episode, and the public's attention is still focused on the upcoming World Cup round of 16 grouping.

According to the FIFA rules for the match between Group 1 and Group 2, the group winner of each group can play the group runner-up of the other group.

This is the advantage of being first in the group and they can play more easily.

Of course, there are also some group runners-up who are hard bones, such as Argentina and Portugal, which are more terrible than some group winners.

On the night of the end of the third round of the group stage, the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia, played it.

Representatives of national football associations have settled in to participate in this draw ceremony.

The officials of the Chinese Football Association also felt the scene, but they felt a lot of uncomfortable stares as soon as they arrived at the scene.

The Chinese team did not have much attention in the World Cup, except for Yile, and now these people are looking at the Chinese Football Association officials and whispering, which is very uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, the officials of the Chinese Football Association were relieved.

The Chinese team is in the round of 16, and it is a sweet pastry.

Compared to other strong teams, they are undoubtedly a good springboard for promotion.

It can be said that the team representatives on the scene let them choose their opponents, and they will definitely choose the Chinese team.

Although it is very uncomfortable, but this is the truth, with a pair of aggressive eyes, the representatives of the Chinese team came to their positions and sat down, they did not mean to communicate, the first time to participate in the World Cup round of 16 level draw ceremony, they did not know each other's friends, so they simply played their own games.

At 11 p.m. Russian time, the draw ceremony officially began.

The alien Ronaldo has reappeared, adding a sparkle to this draw.

......

In the stands, Da Luo's hands were stirring in the glass box, and seeing this scene, everyone on the scene, including the fans in front of the TV, held their breath.

A metal ball was touched.

Da Luo opened the metal ball, and then unfolded it.

Uruguay!

The first to be drawn was Uruguay, followed by their opponents.

After 30 seconds, the next metal ball appears.

Uruguay's opponent appeared.

Portugal!

Wow!!!!!

The scene was in an uproar.

No one expected that Da Luo drew two strong teams in the first draw.

And for the fans of Uruguay and Portugal, they can't help but hold their heads and wail.

One side is jealous of Suarez and Cavani.

The other side is afraid of the big president!

And the Portuguese fans seem to be a little more afraid, after all, if Suarez bites the president without anything, then everything will be over.

This guy's damage is doubled!

After the first group was drawn, Da Luo drew lots again.

Group 2, France vs Argentina!

French fans: "!!! ”

Argentine fans: "Fat! You are poisonous!! ”

Da Luo was also a little embarrassed, he didn't expect his hands to be so poisonous.

It's another powerful conversation!

Group 3: Brazil vs Mexico.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially the Brazilian representative secretly winked at Da Luo, who didn't dare to take the stubble.

I thought I was finally back to some normal.

Group 4: Russia VS Spain!

The burly representative of the fighting nation almost got up, this is going to kill us?

The hosts met the mighty Spain, which left Russian fans in mourning.

Da Luo was also a little panicked, he wanted to stop doing it.

The national team representatives who were drawn out were panicking, but the others were happy.

The strong teams were picked away one by one, which is simply their gospel.

And hasn't the Chinese team not yet appeared?

The Chinese delegates are very calm, anyway, they play the same for everyone.

The fifth group was drawn from Croatia.

Now the Chinese delegates can't be calm, they remember the discussion of the coaching staff, Croatia is the one that must be avoided.

They could no longer remain calm, staring at the lottery box with a pair of eyes.

Fatty, you smoke well!

The opponent has appeared!

Croatia VS Switzerland!

Call!!!!

The Chinese delegates breathed a sigh of relief, as did the Croatian delegates.

At this point, the draw went much smoother.

Group 6: Belgium vs Japan.

Group 7: Colombia vs England.

Group 8: Sweden VS China!

So far, the top 16 groups have been completed.

The next round opponent of the Chinese team also appeared, which was Sweden, known as the 'Viking Viking'.

......

In the hotel, Yile also saw the grouping on the TV.

The opponent is Sweden.

Yi Le is not very familiar with Sweden, and his impression of the Swedish team is stuck in the team led by Ibrahimovic in '16.

But since Ibrahimovic's departure, the national team has undergone a restructuring of its system and style of play, and has become less aggressive.

And before the World Cup, Yile seems to have heard some contradictions between Ibrahimovic and the Swedish national team.

Ibrahimovic wanted to join the national team, but the Swedish coach didn't seem to like him and refused to let him join the national team.

Even in a media interview, when a reporter asked Ibrahimovic how to go to Russia, Ibrahimovic replied with a dark face: "Go by plane!" ”

It's a child's playful answer, but it also highlights Eevee's face-saving character.

In the middle of last season, Ibrahimovic had left Tottenham to play in the MLS, and I heard that there were many highlights.

While Yi Le was happy for his friend, he also felt sorry for his decision to leave Europe.

In Yile's opinion, Ibrahimovic is still very aggressive, and what he lacks is the support of a midfielder.

If Ibrahimovic is in this Swedish team, Yi Le really feels a headache, but now this Sweden team is not weak, but it can't be said to be too strong in this World Cup!

Overall, the draw was pretty good.

Once the opponent has been decided, the entire coaching staff and the team have started to train in a targeted manner.

The first is air defense, which needs to be put on the agenda.

The second is the tactical classroom.

In this training, Lippi also added penalty training, although there is some suspicion of grinding the gun on the spot, but it is better than not grinding.

Whether it is Lippi or Yile, they all feel that there will be a lot of stalemate in the round of 16 and drag the game into a penalty shootout.

It's too late to prepare!
