555, a good sign

How ruthless is Allegri?

It can be seen from the starting line-up for this match.

With Lonshette suspended, Kaka and a number of key players resting en masse, veteran captain Ambrosini leading a group of substitutes against Ajax, and even two Under-18 Academy players sitting on the bench......

These substitutes really want to win and prove themselves in front of the manager and the fans, but with their strength, even if they are at home, they may not be able to beat the united Ajax, not to mention that Allegri also emphasized to them intentionally or unintentionally:

"Friendship first, competition second, focus on participation, don't get hurt......"

Moreover, because he was worried that Ajax would not be able to score, Allegri also sent the "defender" Bonella in the second half, ready to make a suicidal strike at the last moment......

Fortunately, Ajax was very competitive, and Bonella, the big killer, did not shoot in the end, which also made this tacit goal not too obvious.

-

Despite AC Milan's defeat, Allegri still didn't feel ashamed, and instead gave his players a day off to recuperate and adjust.

It was rare for Long Shute not to do his daily training, but to lie on the sofa in the living room of his mansion in the middle of the day, and turn on the TV.

-

"Audience friends, good evening, I'm Duan Yixuan."

In China, thousands of miles away, Duan Yixuan, who was wearing a suit, was sitting in danger:

"It's late at night, but I'm sure there will be a lot of people waiting in front of the TV because in 30 minutes the draw for the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals will take place in Brazil.

Compared with the past, this draw is bound to attract more attention, because this time in the World Cup, 1.3 billion Chinese will no longer be just spectators, our national team will also participate 100% in it, competing with other 31 world giants! ”

Sitting next to him were his female colleague Weng Xiaomeng, as well as two guests, Zhang Lu and Xu Yang, all of whom had professional smiles on their faces, and they couldn't see the fatigue of working late at night.

Not only is there no tiredness, everyone's face is full of excitement and excitement, even the hostess who doesn't understand football and rarely participates in football coverage.

"The last time the Chinese team entered the World Cup, I had just graduated, and it has been 12 years in a blink of an eye," Weng Xiaomeng accidentally revealed his age, "To be able to enter the World Cup again, the highest stage of football competition, proves that Chinese football has made great progress in recent years, our FIFA ranking has improved from 81 three years ago to 22 today, and has also won three championship trophies of the East Asian Cup, Asian Cup, and Confederations Cup. The Chinese team has produced a world-class superstar, and I believe that the whole Chinese team can closely rally around the captain Long Shute, play their own style, and play their own level......"

Sitting in his mansion, Long Shute smiled and shook his head.

Has the current CCTV carried a sedan chair for itself so openly?

Of course, he definitely deserves such an evaluation!

-

"First of all, let's introduce the bracket of the 32 teams......

After a period of small talk, Duan Yixuan finally returned to the topic:

According to the FIFA rankings for October, the eight teams in Pot 1 are:

Hosts Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland.

The second pot is played by teams from Africa and South America:

Algeria, Cameroon, Chile, Côte d'Ivoire, Ecuador, Ghana, Nigeria.

Pot 3 is from Asia and North America, with China also in this bracket, as well as Japan, Iran, Australia, the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica and Honduras.

Pot 4 is all European teams:

Netherlands, England, France, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Greece, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of which will be drawn into Pot 2.

What do you think about the upcoming draw? Will there be a group of death with strong dialogue? ”

"Hehe, it's still very possible."

Zhang Lu smiled:

"This year's bracket rules are not the same as in the past, especially the team in the fourth pot is not inferior to the seed team in the first pot, according to the principle of avoiding the same continent, the first gear of the group of death must have a strong South American team, but Brazil is the host, and will definitely not dig a hole for itself, so I can only choose Argentina, and in order to create a lively atmosphere, the second gear will choose Portugal, Messi's opponent is of course Ronaldo, and the third gear will be given to Japan, hehe, I choose England in the fourth gear, as we all know, England and Argentina are feuds, and there are so many stories in them......"

In the midst of their lively discussions, the draw ceremony is finally approaching.

FIFA President Seppat and the female president of Brazil delivered speeches respectively, and after a song and dance performance, the official ambassador of the Brazilian World Cup, the alien Ronaldo, appeared on stage, and the draw officially began.

In addition to Ronaldo, Zidane, Hierro, Mateus, Cafu, Hirst, Cannavaro, Hygia and other eight football celebrities also appeared on the stage as lottery guests, and under the nervous gaze of the world's audience, 32 teams were divided into the corresponding groups one by one.

Group A: Brazil, Cameroon, Mexico, Croatia.

The hosts did put themselves in a much more comfortable group.

Group B: Spain, Chile, Australia, Netherlands.

The group may be looking at how the winners and runners-up of the last World Cup scored points against the other two teams.

Group C: Colombia, Côte d'Ivoire, China, Greece.

When the Chinese team fell into this group, Duan Yixuan and others all let out a cheerful laugh:

"This should be a good signing, there are no super teams like Germany, Brazil, and Argentina in the group, and every team has a chance to qualify!"

Group D: Uruguay, Italy (drawn in Pot 2), Costa Rica, England.

This group is the one that most resembles the Group of Death, and England, who have a habit of collapsing in major tournaments, looks the most like the one that could be eliminated......

Group E: Switzerland, Ecuador, Honduras, France.

I'm afraid the Gallic roosters are going on a killing spree in this group......

Group F: Argentina, Nigeria, Iran, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Argentina have not been drawn into the group of death, their opponents are even weaker than the other, and the plum ball king can probably spit out the evil spirit of Champions League elimination and brush up the goal statistics in these teams!

Group G: Germany, Ghana, United States, Portugal.

Messi's fans couldn't help but laugh, they were extremely looking forward to Ronaldo's Portugal being ruthlessly crushed by the German tank!

And Ronaldo's fans can only shake their heads and sigh, they can only pin their hopes on Portugal can brush up enough points on Ghana and the United States.

Group H: Belgium, Algeria, Russia, Japan.

Although Belgium has been gaining momentum in recent years, it has not yet officially entered the ranks of giants, and this group is probably still a rookie group in the eyes of most people.

"As we said before, the Chinese team drew a good draw."

Duan Yixuan's face smiled even more:

"I just took the time to check Weibo, and the Chinese captain Long Shute happened to update a message, let's take a look at what he said?"

The background quickly switched the screen, and a picture was clearly displayed on the screen.

Long Shute posted a picture of the Chinese team's grouping opponents, followed by a very simple comment:

"It looks like we're going to have to stay in Brazil for a few more days and hopefully my team-mates won't complain about the heat in Brazil."

Zhang Lu smiled "hehe":

"It seems that he is already thinking about what will happen after the Chinese team qualifys......"
