Section 284 Top 10 Tournament Grouping
Before the start of the season, Li Ze had predicted that Magath would return to Wolfsburg, and the ultimate goal was likely to be the league title. +◆ With +◆ Dream + ◆ Little +◆ said, .com his prediction was confirmed by Magath himself after the end of the season. In front of the whole team, Magath proudly declared that he wanted to make Wolfsburg and Dortmund, Bayern stand on his feet, and his ambitions were finally revealed to the players after a season of gestation.
This ambition did not make the players feel unattainable or too bizarre. Magath has this in mind, and the players are also full of confidence in the future of the team at this time. Although everyone in this team doesn't like Magath very much, they are still very interested in winning the championship.
After all, watching Dortmund win the Bundesliga championship for two consecutive years, they are still extremely envious. And in the team, they can also see the 08-09 season, which has not faded to win the championship. Sometimes, veteran players such as Makoto Hasebe will talk about their championships, and the pride and yearning between those words are enough to make people fascinated.
Next season, the goal of the championship - when the league break is coming, the players have also made such a pact with each other. They are confident that they can play as well as Bayern and Borussia Dortmund, and they are confident that they can live up to that standard.
Gao Shunyao also has such thoughts, and after the team ushered in the vacation, after watching the final of the German Cup and the Champions League at home, his thoughts are even heavier.
This year's German Cup final was played between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. And almost as no one expected, Bayern was pushed to the ground and pumped wildly in front of Dortmund. Eating and sleeping and playing Bayern may have become a part of Dortmund's daily life, playing Bayern three times in a season, home and away neutral ground, Dortmund's various victories, which also made Gao Shunyao feel a little excited after seeing it.
Although Gao Shunyao has always thought. Dortmund is stronger this season, but in his heart, he still feels that the biggest enemy in the Bundesliga is Bayern instead of Dortmund. Although Dortmund has also won the Champions League. It can be regarded as a giant, but what really makes Gao Shunyao feel worthy of the four words of a top giant is still Bayern. Bayern's stars are better, more money, these aspects. Dortmund can't compare, Gao Shunyao also regards them as bigger opponents in his heart, seeing them lose, Gao Shunyao feels that this is also an incentive for himself, at least, he also knows from this game that Bayern is not invincible in the world.
And then, the Champions League game made him witness this: in the Champions League final. Bayern lost to Chelsea on penalties at their home stadium and handed over the Champions League to a runners-up again.
This title made Gao Shunyao even more excited: it was not because he saw the emergence of a new Champions League winning team, nor because of how remarkable it was for Chelsea's veterans to win the championship. Gao Shunyao's excitement is only due to one thing: Chelsea have actually played very badly this year. The sixth place in the league and the coach who quit the class halfway through the class are enough to show how big their problems are. And such a team, a group of old-fashioned players. was able to defeat Bayern, which also made Gao Shunyao have a lot of ambition in his heart.
A group of old men can do it, and they are young. What's not to do? The coming day is long, and I will definitely have an honor one day. Maybe next season, your team can play really well, on the football field, everything is possible.
"Three runners-up, Bayern is really unlucky this year. Let's look at next year. Maybe next year, they won't have so many runners-up. ”
After the game, when Gao Shunyao and Chen Sirou talked about the game, they also said with some pride: In his opinion, Dortmund is better than Bayern, if Wolfsburg plays well again, maybe next year, Bayern will have a third place. It's just that his words made Chen Sirou frown.
"Instead of having time to gloat over Bayern's bad luck, think about how to play the next ball, right? June is just around the corner, and the national team competition is about to start, so if you have time, shouldn't you prepare more for the national team competition? ”
Gao Shunyao's thoughts, even the people around him may not be able to fully understand. After Chen Sirou saw him laughing, she mistakenly thought that he was gloating. She was very unaccustomed to the villain's behavior, and couldn't help but open her mouth on the side, reminding Gao Shunyao that he had more important things to do.
And her reminder also made Gao Shunyao's smile fall, "Why don't you mention that...... The national team is quite difficult to play, can't you make me happy for a while? ”
reminded Chen Sirou that Gao Shunyao was a little helpless. The national team match in June was one of those things he really didn't want to think about. He at least thinks that way, for no other reason than because he doesn't have much confidence in June.
The national team competition came at the beginning of June. On the European side, the main match of the European Championship will be welcomed at this time, and the Asian side will also welcome the top 10 matches. There are three rounds of the World Preliminary Tournament in June, of which the Chinese team has only one round of byes, and the other two games have been announced in March, and these two games have also made Gao Shunyao quite depressed.
The grouping of the top 10 matches is divided according to the number of FIFA points, and then decided by lot. According to the points, the first three pots are one for every two teams, and the last pot is four teams, so that the draw is made.
In this bracket, Australia, ranked 22nd in the world, and Japan, ranked 30th, were both placed in Pot 1. South Korea and Iran, ranked 34 and 47 in the world, are placed in the second bracket. What is quite surprising is that in this bracket, the Chinese team, like Iraq, is the team in the third bracket.
The Chinese team was not the last gear, and Gao Shunyao was a little surprised when he saw this sub-gear. However, he was relieved to think that the classification was based on the FIFA ranking: the Chinese team has always been ranked well during the coaching of Coach Gao.
They have always been in the top 80 in the world, although there is a big gap with the previous four teams, but with Iran, Uzbekistan, and the eliminated Jordan are in between, everyone is around 80, and the difference in points is even within 10 points. In fact, it's not a big deal - 77th and 79th in the world, compared to 80th in the world, even if it is really strong, how strong can it be? Don't look at Uzbekistan as a team in Pot 4. But if you really meet the Chinese team, it is not necessarily who wins or loses.
However, it seems that if it is really said, who loses and who wins, it doesn't make much sense. Because there are only two qualifying spots in the group. It doesn't seem to be the turn of the teams in Pot 3 and Pot 4 to compete either. Compared to them, the team's first and second pot teams seem to be the teams that have firmly locked in the qualifying places.
If you follow the grouping of this one...... In other words, Japan and Iran are theoretically the most likely teams to qualify. Compared with them, the Chinese team, the Oman team, and the Lebanese team seem to be here to accompany them.
This time, the opponents in the group. It's really strong. Fighting against these two opponents, Gao Shunyao is not completely sure that he will win. It seems that he has a good level of self-examination, but there are a lot of Iranian and Japanese players in Europe, and they are better than him alone.
It's a pity that these two teams can't be avoided. Especially this June, the Chinese team needs to encounter two of them in a row. Playing Iran at home on June 3 and Japan away on June 8, these two games are enough to give Gao Shunyao a headache.
"The 30th ranked team in the world. They are in the same group as the 80th team in the world and the 114th team in the world...... The difference in strength is really big, and those games are a headache when you think about it. ”
To his girlfriend. Gao Shunyao didn't hide anything. Before entering the top 10, he also had some fantasies, hoping that the team could win, but seeing the current grouping, he was really worried. Japan and Iran, neither of which is an easy opponent to gnaw. Against them, the Chinese team is not completely sure. If you want to stand out from the top 10, it is still quite difficult.
In its own history, the Chinese team has won the Asian World Cup in 02, and it has been a loser at other times, which is enough to prove how difficult this task is.
"If you have a headache, can you stop playing? Rather than waiting for a headache on the pitch and having a headache after the headache, it is better to have a headache early, and maybe you can be a little happier after the headache is early. If you want to say that the strength is poor, the strength of the North Korean team in the last session is not as good as the Chinese team, so don't you go to the World Cup too? Why are you already discouraged before you have even competed? ”
Regarding Gao Shunyao's indisputability, although Chen Sirou did not blindly accuse, she still gently reproached. And listening to her words, looking at Chen Sirou sitting beside him, Gao Shunyao could only smile silently: Sometimes, Chen Sirou is really the best inspector by his side, and she is always full of expectations for herself, which is much more effective than coaches and media.
Moreover, what she said does make sense, although the game may be very difficult to play, but the opportunity is not necessarily completely absent: although Gao Shunyao does not think that he has the good luck of North Korea, but sometimes, the unexpected situation is not impossible: in case, if Iran is in trouble again, wouldn't it be a good time for the Chinese team?
Admittedly, as an athlete, it seems that he is looking forward to the infighting of his opponent, and then he is suspected of being too immoral. However, as a competitor, if the opponent really has a problem and can't grasp the opportunity, it will also make people regret it for a lifetime.
Gao Shunyao is 23 years old, and he asked himself that he probably can't support himself until he is 37 years old and will still be on the field in 2026. Therefore, for him, he was able to fight for the World Cup, only three times. Three times in a lifetime, if you miss it, it is definitely something that you will regret for a lifetime.
"You're right, I really should be prepared." Gao Shunyao hugged Chen Sirou and said softly.
It's hard for him to get three chances in a lifetime, but he shouldn't stop trying them because they're hard – and it's not like he hasn't tried even the harder things. He has at least three more chances to hit the World Cup, and the girl in his arms is the only one for him. Even this only girl was taken down by him, what reason did he have not to grasp those three opportunities? (To be continued.) )
