At the beginning of the draw ceremony, AFC President Salman first reviewed the development of Asian football over the past few years, specifically mentioning the Asian Cup in Australia. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Then Salman changed his tone and began to talk about the World Cup, "In the World Cup in Brazil, Asian teams have performed poorly except for the Chinese team, and some people even say that Asian football has fallen to the second to last in the world, but it is better than Oceania." ”

"Antarctica!"

I don't know who shouted below, and suddenly everyone was happy, and Salman, who was not smiling on the stage, was also happy.

"Then it looks like we're the third from the bottom, which isn't bad."

"Hahaha."

This is self-deprecation, but after laughing, everyone's hearts are quite uncomfortable, after all, everyone here is the representative of Asian football, and obviously in the last World Cup cycle, Asian football in general failed.

"Okay, let's continue the topic just now, I hope that at least two Asian teams can qualify from the group at the World Cup in Russia."

The footage of the scene was immediately given to Li Guo, which means that the Chinese team is counted as one, so what about the other team?

"Okay, that's all I have to say, good luck to everyone, and then the Executive Committee from Malaysia will preside over the draw."

The six guests in this draw are all superstars of Asian football, namely Ali Daei from Iran, Sun Jihai from China, Hidetoshi Nakata from Japan, Park Ji-sung from South Korea, Viduka from Australia, and finally Ovilan from Saudi Arabia.

When Ali Daei walked out, there was a round of applause from the audience, the Iranian still has a beard, he used to be the first center forward in Asia, the Chinese team also suffered a lot of losses from him, Ali Daei once broke through the Bundesliga, and his performance was not bad.

His hands will decide the groupings of China and Australia, with Ali Daei churning two small balls in a glass jar, and the team he draws is in Group A and the rest in Group B.

Ali Daei pinched a small ball and took it out, then took out a small note and turned it around, "Australia." ”

Then the Chinese team will automatically enter Group B.

The audience applauded customarily, Ali Daei waved his hand, and then stepped off the stage, followed by China's Sun Jihai, who will decide the team in Pot 2.

The second gear is the Korean team and the Japanese team, Sun Jihai stirred it and quickly pulled out one.

"Japan."

Then the Korean team is in Group B, or is it in a group with the Chinese team, and the scene is given to Stillik, and the old man is very calm, so that people can't see what he thinks in his heart.

The next draw went on quickly, and the grouping of the two groups of AB produced the final result.

The Chinese team is in Group B: China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Iraq, and Thailand. There are only a few strong teams in Asia, so most of them are old opponents, and they are often encountered, such as South Korea and Iran.

After the draw ceremony, the coaches and their teams left one after another, and as they were leaving, someone patted Li Guo and turned his head to see that it was Queiroz, the head coach of the Iranian team.

"Carlos, long time no see."

"Yes."

Li Guo knew that there must be something wrong with Queiroz, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"I'd like to treat you to dinner."

"Okay, where are you going?"

Queiroz smiled: "If you have the guts, come with me." ”

When I arrived, I found out that it was the famous Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, which is a landmark, and it will be more expensive to eat here.

"Carlos, forget it, it's expensive to eat here, I'm afraid of eating poor you."

"Hahaha, don't worry, although my income is not as good as yours, a meal is still fine, please."

The two of them took the high-speed elevator to the middle floor of the Petronas Twin Towers, where the restaurant was located, and after sitting down, Queiroz invited Li to order food.

"I'll see, what's more expensive."

Queiroz smiled, "Li Guo, you still like to joke just as much." ”

Li Guo also smiled, for Queiroz and Iranian football, Li Guo was deeply impressed, and the longest ban in his coaching career was given by Tehran.

Li Guo knew that Queiroz had something, but the other party didn't say it, so he wasn't in a hurry, and he would talk about it when he was full.

"This coconut crab dish is really good,"

"Really? I'll taste it too. ”

Eating and drinking, Queiroz felt that it was almost over, and finally opened the conversation, "Li Guo, I have something to do with you this time." ”

Haha, Li Guole finally spoke.

"Let's talk about it, I don't necessarily say yes."

"Do you know about the Centennial America's Cup that will be held in the United States this year?"

"I think I've heard that teams from all over the Americas will participate."

Queiroz nodded, "16 teams, to be exact, it's a big event in American football." ”

The more Li Guo listened, the more he didn't understand, how could Queiroz care so much about the Copa America? Is it to buy a lottery ticket?

Li Guo took a sip of red wine, "Carlos, there are no outsiders here, I have also eaten your meal, if you have anything, just say it." ”

"Hehe, well, that's right, the 16 teams of the Centennial Copa America are divided into 4 groups, each group of 4 teams, but the Haitian team in Group B has problems at home, and it is said that they will not be able to participate in the Copa America."

"What then?" Li Guo asked curiously.

"Find an Asian team to come on the bench."

As soon as these words came out, Li Guo remembered that in the past, Asian teams would be invited to participate in the America's Cup, such as Japan's own team.

"Carlos, is your message reliable?"

Queiroz nodded, then continued: "I want to ask, is the Chinese team willing to participate?" If the Chinese team doesn't mean to participate in the Copa America, then I will fight for the Iranian team, and if you want to participate, then I won't get into trouble. ”

Li Guo still knows a little about Iranian football, a country that is very hairy, and Queiroz once quarreled with the club's head coach over the call-up of several players from domestic clubs to participate in international competitions.

Queiroz's wishful thinking is that if the Chinese team does not participate, then the Iranian team still has a good chance, and he can use his rights to fight for it, if the Chinese team wants to participate, then there is nothing for him, he simply goes on vacation early.

He thought that Li Duo should know a little bit, but Li Guo really didn't know, "Carlos, I won't tell you, I really don't know what you said." ”

"Really?"

"Really, I don't have to lie to you, I never cared about the Copa America," because the European Cup will be broadcast in China this year, the coverage of the Copa America is basically zero, and Li Guo rarely sees news on the Internet.

At this moment, Li Guo's mobile phone rang, and it was Chen An calling, "The Football Association said that there is something important to discuss with you." ”

"Do you know what's going on?" Li asked.

"I don't know, let's come back quickly."
