Chapter 99: Top 10 Draw

"The Olympic men's football team is the real World Cup" is a BBC report after the Olympics. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The article analyzes the composition of the Olympic men's football champions, from 1968 to 1992, European teams won the championship, African teams in '96 and 2000, Argentina won the Olympic championship for the first time on behalf of the Americas in 2004, and China won the first Olympic championship on behalf of Asia in 2008.

Compared with the World Cup, which is monopolized by Europe and South America, the championship division of the Olympic Games seems very "world", of course, this article is suspected of fried cold rice, but from another point of view, it can also be shown that maybe the level of the Olympic men's football team is really not high.

South Korea's famous KBS "black" Chinese reporter "An Hyun Jin" made a lot of nonsense in his program, saying that a miracle will not make Chinese football rise, the 92 European Cup did not make Danish football a strong team in Europe, and the myth of the 2007 Asian Cup did not make Iraqi football a strong team in Asia.

South Korea is still the leader of Asian football, and Japan is the second!

An Xuanzhen further analyzed: "The Olympic men's football competition is always arranged at the hottest time of the day, we all know that the weather above 30 degrees is not conducive to football games, and super-first-class stars such as Messi will protect themselves in this extreme weather, while Chinese players don't care if they work hard because of the pressure of performance." ”

"In addition, because of the time conflict with the European League, many high-level stars will not come to the Olympics, which is also the reason why the level of football in the Olympics is not high."

"The people must firmly believe that South Korean football is still the first in Asia, the South Korean team has participated in the World Cup since 1986 and has never been absent, and the Chinese team only qualified for the World Cup in 2002 when the South Korean team did not need to play the qualifiers, in other words, only by avoiding South Korea, China can qualify for the World Cup."

In the whole program, Ahn Hyun-jin devalued Chinese football as worthless and elevated Korean football to an unparalleled height, and the ratings of such programs in South Korea are very high, and it is well known that there are two most popular programs in South Korea - black Japan and black Chinese programs.

If you insist on comparison, Black China will be more satisfied with the humble self-esteem of the South Korean stick, but Chinese fans understand that if they don't teach the stick a lesson in the World Cup qualifiers, maybe the stick will never come to his senses.

In fact, there is no need for Koreans to remind that after the Olympics, the most important thing for the Chinese team is the World Cup qualifiers, referred to as the top 10.

The Chinese team in the top 20 of the game is two rounds in advance, because to prepare for the Olympic Games, the last two innocuous games Li Guo did not lead the team, but led by Chen An to participate in the second team, the Chinese team is one win and one loss, defeat Iraq, defeat Australia, in this way, China and Australia hand in hand to advance to the top 10 in Asia.

*****

The clock was set back a few months in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where the draw for the World Cup Qualifiers for the Asian Top 10 was about to begin.

This conference gathered the heavyweights of the entire Asian football circle, of course, East Asia and West Asia secretly competed fiercely, the meeting was a little gunpowder at the beginning, mainly because the West Asian representatives felt that they were despised in Asian football, but this is not the theme, this time the theme is still the draw for the qualifiers.

The most important thing before the draw starts is to divide the bins, which is relatively simple, according to the latest FIFA rankings.

According to the latest FIFA rankings, the first place in the Asian region is now Australia, with a FIFA ranking of 40, the second is South Korea, with a FIFA ranking of 49, the third is Japan, with a FIFA ranking of 50, and the fourth is China, with a FIFA ranking of 65.

It is worth mentioning that since Li Guo took office, the FIFA ranking of the Chinese team has risen from 69 to 65.

This bracket means that China has avoided Japan (because China and Japan are in the same bracket), and China's first opponent is either South Korea or Australia.

The final draw result was that China and South Korea were divided into a group, and when the result came out, the camera at the scene captured the expressions of Li Guo and the head coach of the South Korean team "Xu Dingmao" at the same time.

The expressions of the two are surprisingly consistent, they are both indifferent expressions, as old enemies in Asian football, South Korea and China have met too many times, so everyone seems very calm.

The grouping of the seeded teams at the front is the most eye-catching, and with the seeded teams in their respective positions, the grouping of the teams behind them becomes less important.

In the end, the Chinese team was divided into Group A, and the opponents in the same group were South Korea, Uzbekistan, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates.

After the draw ceremony, Li Guo, the head coach of the Chinese team, was immediately surrounded by reporters, "Coach Li, what do you think of the draw results." ”

Li Guo's words will be surprising again, "I think it shouldn't be difficult for the Chinese team to get a place in this group to go to South Africa." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it, he was Li Guo, the person who dared to shout out of the top three in the Olympics, this time he just shouted out of the World Cup, what's so strange?

"Then Director Li, who do you think the other qualifying spot in this group will belong to?"

Li Guo pretended to think, and after a while, Li Guo said slowly: "It's hard to say, South Korea, Iran, Uzbekistan, and the United Arab Emirates all have opportunities." ”

"Damn," the South Korean reporter on the side couldn't listen anymore and asked, "Director Lee, don't you think South Korea is the most powerful enemy of this group?" We haven't missed a World Cup final since 1986. ”

The Korean reporter thought that he could suppress Li Guo by moving out of the glorious history, but he didn't expect Li Guo to say bluntly: "That's because Chinese football didn't have me Li Guo before?" ”

"You ......"

The South Korean reporter almost choked to death, this guy is more arrogant than Mourinho, Jose at least said that God is after me, this Li Guo......

The Chinese reporter at the scene held back a smile and looked at the lively expression, and another reporter asked, "On September 6th, our first game was to play South Korea away, can Director Li talk about the goal of that game." ”

Li Guo stretched out three fingers, "I don't want to win too much, just win three." ”

The South Korean reporter didn't laugh at all, "Hehe, it's possible for you to lose three, and then let you know how to write the crying word." ”

*****

A few months have passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Guo has really realized the myth of the Olympic Games, and the first game of the World Cup on September 6 is about to start, Li Guo announced the national football squad for Seoul, which is basically based on the Olympic team, and some new players have been called in individual positions, and Zheng Zhi was not selected for this squad because of knee discomfort.

Seeing this big list, the South Koreans have a line on their foreheads and know what the enemy is now.
