was placed in the first bracket, and the Chinese team naturally avoided the Asian giants Japan, Australia, South Korea and Iran.

The second-tier teams in Asia are not very weak, they are the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Uzbekistan.

In the Asian Cup, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan and China have played against each other, which has created a lot of trouble for the Chinese team.

The third-tier teams are Bahrain, Syria, Oman, Iraq and Palestine, and these teams are also strong, among which Iraq was the champion of the Asian Cup, although the strength has declined, but it is still good.

In the fourth bracket are North Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and Lebanon.

The strength of these teams is relatively weak, but the strength of the North Korean team and the Thai team should not be underestimated, because before, the Chinese team has not lost these teams, especially in previous years, the Chinese team encountered these fourth-grade teams and their records were not ideal.

Therefore, these teams are not easy for China, and the Chinese team must go all out.

And now Jiang Chen, the absolute core spiritual leader of the Chinese team, has suddenly been injured again, which is definitely a very big blow to the players of the Chinese team.

This made the players of the Chinese team lose confidence, and the Chinese team had even lost to Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia in the fourth tier when they did not have Jiang Chen before, and their psychology was not advantageous at all.

At this time, the eyes of the world are focused on Doha, Qatar, and the draw ceremony for the state qualifiers for the Qatar World Cup has begun.

Former British star Steven Gerrard, the guest in charge of the draw ceremony for the Asian region, took the stage, and all the fans in front of the stadium and the TV set were glued to him.

Gerrard first made a joke with the guests before starting the highlight of the day, which was the draw.

The eyes of everyone in the audience were quietly staring at Gerrard, Gerrard directly put his hand into the first-grade team tank, Gerrard stirred a few times, and then grabbed a ball directly, and then slowly unscrewed the ball, and slowly opened the folded note inside, he took a look at it himself, his eyebrows raised, and the fans on the scene and in front of the TV immediately felt a pang in their hearts, which one would it be?

Just when everyone was guessing, Gerrard flipped the note in his hand, and suddenly all the fans on the scene and in front of the TV saw clearly that the note was written about that country, the Chinese team!

Yes, the first to be drawn was the Chinese men's national football team, and they were placed in the first group.

At this time, it is actually not a time to be nervous, because this first round of the draw is just a process of sorting the first-tier teams.

The second team to be drawn was South Korea, who were drawn in Group 2.

The third team to be drawn was the Japanese team, and the Japanese team was drawn in the third group.

The fourth team was drawn from Australia, with the Australian national team drawn in Group 4 and the remaining Iranians in Group 5.

At this time, the ranking of the teams in the first group was completed, and all the fans and guests on the scene were nervous, because the next step was the real draw.

Next up is to draw the teams in the second pot, which are the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Uzbekistan, all of which are very good.

Of course, among the second-tier teams, the best ones are Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan, and the first-tier teams don't really want him to draw these two teams.

Although the players of the Chinese team have played against Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan in the Asian Cup and defeated them, they all know the strength of these two teams, and to be honest, they still don't want to meet these two teams at this time.

The next step is to draw out the teams that are in the same group as the Chinese team, and the Chinese fans, players and head coach Lippi are very nervous.

At this time, the minds of the players and the manager of the second-tier team have changed.

When Jiang Chen was not injured, in fact, they didn't want to be in a group with the Chinese team, and the strength of the Chinese team was very good, especially after Jiang Chen.

But now, Jiang Chen, the most powerful member of the Chinese team, was injured, and it is said that he still injured his leg, which is likely to end his career directly.

Leaving Jiang Chen, the strength of the Chinese team is really not to be feared.

Without Jiang Chen, the Chinese team can't even cope with teams like Singapore and Indonesia, so what else do they have to fear?

Therefore, at this time, the second-tier teams hope that they can be drawn to the first group and be placed in the first group with the Chinese team.

In particular, Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan are strong in the second tier, but if they meet the national teams of Japan, South Korea and Australia, they may be crushed to death, and even lose hope of qualifying.

The representatives of the Chinese players and Lippi were very nervous at this time, their eyes were glued to the stage, staring at Gerrard's hands, they did not want to draw out the Qatar and Uzbekistan teams.

At this time, Gerrard directly put his hand into the second-grade glass jar, he stirred it gently, and then grabbed a ball, he immediately unscrewed the ball, took out the note inside, and then slowly opened it, and took a look at it, Gerrard's face changed slightly, which surprised the fans and guests at the scene.

The Chinese fans and guests below were very nervous at this time, they were in a very bad mood, and Gerrard's eyes made them very bad.

At this time, Gerald smiled slightly, opened the self-film in his hand, and everyone on the scene saw clearly what was written on it.

Jordan ----!

When they saw this word, Chinese fans and players breathed a sigh of relief, it was not Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan.

Of course, the strength of the Jordanian team is not weak, and this opponent Chinese team cannot be underestimated, but it is easier to deal with than the Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia teams.

Then the other first-tier teams will be in a hurry, after all, Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan are both there.

The second team to be drawn is a group with South Korea, and the coaching staff of the Korean team is very nervous right now.
