After playing the same city derby against Atletico Madrid, the next game is the Champions League and the final round of the Champions League group stage, with Real Madrid hosting Ajax.

It was a do-or-die battle for Ajax, but it was a routine game for Real Madrid, who had already secured the top spot in the group.

However, before this match, Lu Wenbin and the media and fans around the world should first pay attention to the draw ceremony of one world competition: the draw for the 2013 Confederations Cup.

The Confederations Cup, also known as the mini-World Cup, is hosted by the host country that hosts the World Cup the following year before each World Cup.

Therefore, the Confederations Cup is also regarded as an outpost of the World Cup, and the organizers and FIFA can also use the Confederations Cup to inspect the venue, transportation, coordination and other aspects of the World Cup host country.

At the same time, it is also an important stage for the world's giants to prepare for the World Cup.

The 2014 World Cup was hosted by Brazil, so the 2013 Confederations Cup will also be hosted by Brazil, with matches taking place in six cities: Brasilia, Belo Horizonte, Fortaleza, Rio de Janeiro, Recife and El Salvador.

The Confederations Cup started on 15 June 2013 and the final was played on 30 June.

There are a total of 8 teams in the competition, namely Brazil, the host of the 2014 World Cup, Spain, the winner of the last World Cup, China, the winner of the Asian Cup, Uruguay, the winner of the Copa America, Mexico, the winner of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the champion of the Oceania Nations Cup, Tahiti, the champion of the European Cup, Italy (the champion is Spain), and the winner of the African Cup, which will be produced at the beginning of next year.

According to the draw rules, the host country Brazil and World Cup winner Spain were seeded into Group A and Group B, respectively.

Then, Italy needed to circumvent Spain due to the principle of circumvention by teams from the same continents, so Italy automatically entered Group A, a group with Brazil.

The remaining five teams will come back to the draw and see their luck.

On December 1, 2012, the draw ceremony for the 2013 Confederations Cup group was held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, attended by superstars and famous coaches such as Ronaldo, Cafu, Scolari and Prandelli.

Of course, as the head coach of the Chinese national team, Gao Hongbo was also able to attend the draw ceremony, but he didn't pay much attention.

At 11:40 a.m. local time in Brazil, the draw ceremony officially began.

First of all, FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valker introduced the history of the Confederations Cup and the situation of the teams in this Confederations Cup as the moderator, and then the former Brazilian national team captain Cafu revealed the match ball.

After that, the draw begins.

Brazil and Spain are seeded in the No. 1 position in Group A and Group B, with Italy being placed directly in Group A to avoid meeting Spain.

Therefore, of the remaining five teams, the first draw is the second team in Group B.

Group A has Brazil and Italy, and it will be almost difficult for the other teams to qualify from the group.

As a result, the remaining five teams are all hoping to be drawn from Group B and compete for one of the remaining qualifying spots outside of Spain.

As a result, the first draw was Uruguay, who moved on to Group B, alongside Spain, successfully avoiding Brazil and Italy.

The coach of the Uruguayan national team and officials of the Football Federation cheered.

Then, the second team is drawn and the draw will enter Group A.

As a result, it was Tahiti that was drawn, and Tahiti was drawn to a group with Brazil and Italy, and there must be no hope.

There are three teams left: China, Mexico and the African champions who have not yet been produced.

The African champion has not yet been produced, so naturally no one cares, and the players, fans, national team coaches, etc. of China and Brazil are all looking forward to being drawn into Group B.

In his own villa in the city of Madrid, Lu Wenbin and his fiancée Kate, as well as members of his personal team such as assistants, doctors, lawyers, and even nannies, all sat in the living room, nervously watching the lottery ceremony.

In China, countless officials, coaches, reporters, and fans watched the lottery ceremony nervously, waiting for the verdict of fate.

The chubby lottery guest Ronaldo took out the note from the box, opened it slowly, and then turned the note to the audience and the camera, and said slowly: "CHINA." ”

"Yay!" Lu Wenbin raised his arms and shouted, and then hugged Kate next to him, and everyone in the living room also cheered.

In the land of China, countless fans screamed excitedly.

The Chinese team avoided Brazil and Italy in Group A, and it is entirely possible to qualify from the group and reach the semi-finals.

Of course, it's just that the chances of qualifying from the group are better than those of Group A.

Neither Uruguay, nor the fourth African champion that has yet to be produced or Mexico, will not be worse than the Chinese team, even if the Chinese team has Lu Wenbin.

Subsequently, the fifth team drawn was Mexico, and Mexico was unlucky to be placed in Group A where Brazil and Italy were.

Of course, relatively speaking, their strength is still much higher than that of Tahiti, and there is a little possibility of an upset.

There is no suspense about the last team, and the African champions, who will only be produced at the beginning of next year, will be divided into Group B where Spain, Uruguay and China are located.

This concludes the group draw for the 2013 Confederations Cup.

Obviously, as the two nations that have won the World Cup the most times (5 and 4 respectively), the clash between Brazil and Italy in Group A will be the most eye-catching matchup.

In Group B, Spain dominates the competition, with Uruguay, China and next year's African champions fighting for another qualifying spot.

Therefore, for the champions of Uruguay, China and Africa, Group B can be called the group of death.

Of course, it's better than Tahiti's lack of hope of being in Group A.

In addition, the media and fans are most interested in whether Lu Wenbin can continue his record of winning the championship as long as he participates.

Prior to this, including China's domestic high school leagues, Lu Wenbin won all the championships as long as he participated, including the Asian Cup championship of the national team and the Olympic championship of the national Olympic team.

But the Confederations Cup is different, there is no opponent here who is an Asian underdog or an underdog team. It is almost certain that even if the Chinese team qualifys, it will definitely meet Brazil or Italy in Group A, and one of Brazil, Italy, and Spain in the final.

In the semifinals and finals, can Lu Wenbin still lead the weak Chinese team to victory?

Perhaps, this Confederations Cup is the time when Lu Wenbin's law of "you can win the championship if you participate" is broken.

Although many Chinese fans and die-hard fans of Lu Wenbin still hope that Lu Wenbin can lead the Chinese team to win the championship, this is really too difficult.

Even if Lu Wenbin himself is cheated, he has no confidence.

In an interview with reporters, Lu Wenbin low-key declared:

"Spain and Uruguay are both world champions, African football is also more developed than Asian football, and African champions are also extraordinary. As a Chinese team participating in the Confederations Cup for the first time, our goal is simple: to try to play every game as well as possible, increase the experience of the World Series, and then try to qualify from the group. ”
