"Congratulations on winning the Golden Boy Award and winning glory for Chinese football!"

As soon as Yu Liang and King Dong entered the door, they received congratulations from Shi Liansheng and Sun Jihai. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Thank you! Thank you! ”

In fact, when the Torino Sports newspaper announced the list of winners, he had already received congratulatory text messages from the two.

"Actually, there is your credit for this!"

As soon as Yu Liang's words came out, Sun Jihai gave Yu Liang a thumbs up there, this sycophant shot is really good.

But your Golden Boy Award has a hairy relationship with Shi Liansheng.

Seeing Shi Liansheng's puzzled face, Yu Liang looked at Barton who was lying on the sofa and pouted, "I have to thank you for providing Barton for free?" ”

Sun Jihai only remembered at this time, why did he look at Barton so familiar? It turned out that I had seen it at Yu Liang's house!

"You really have to thank me for this, why is it that you don't have a word, why do you have to invite you to dinner?"

"Invite you to dinner, I don't have any money!"

Although I don't fully understand Shi Liansheng, the owner of the global chain of Liansheng hotels alone is worth a lot of money.

"No, you didn't come to Manchester just for this meal! If so, I'll please! Just inside this Lotus Sang Hotel please! ”

Yu Liang played a trick, this is your industry, invite you to dinner here, are you embarrassed to collect money?

"Who cares about your meal! This time I'm passing by here, by the way, take a look at you, now you're in very good shape, I'm relieved! As you all know, the national team is very weak at the moment, and I have repeatedly stressed that I will not call you up until the top 10. But if I don't know I'm going to have a hard time, you have to be ready to be drafted at all times, and you have to stay healthy. ”

Speaking of the national team, Yu Liang's face immediately became serious.

Hitting the World Cup is not as simple as imagined, although it is easy to break into the top 20, but the top 20 is not easy to play. Not to mention the top 10 matches in the future, every game is basically bloody for them.

"Are you going to South Africa this time?"

Shi Liansheng looked at Sun Jihai and nodded: "Yes!" This time it's a trip to South Africa for the draw ceremony! ”

The draw for the top 20 of the World Cup Asian qualifiers will be held in Durban, South Africa, and Shi Liansheng's destination is there, stopping by Europe to observe the condition of the players.

He learned a lot from his trip to England.

Yu Liang is in hot form, scoring three goals and providing two assists in three league games in November, and there is basically no suspense about winning the best player. And King Dong is in a very stable state, maintaining the goal efficiency of this top, and the threat in the front court is gradually increasing.

As for the veteran Sun Jihai, although he didn't get many opportunities in Manchester City this season, he came off the bench in today's game and performed eye-catchingly, tearing apart the opponent's defense with a direct pass in injury time to assist his teammates to complete the stunner.

"Before coming here, I talked to Shao Jiayi in Germany, and I also met Zheng Zhi in London! You are all pillars and role models for Chinese football, and your success overseas will bring more people to Chinese football, which will help more players to come into their sights! ”

Sun Jihai can indeed play such a role overseas, but the sad thing is that those masters who play football in China rarely have the idea of promoting Chinese football. Their own players have been favored by overseas clubs, and they are still holding on. Even if it's rotten and smelly, it's not willing to let go.

"Okay, time is pressing, let's talk while eating!"

Coming to the hotel's restaurant, they chatted while eating.

In the process of chatting, Shi Liansheng also put forward several suggestions to Yu Liang and King Dong, hoping to help them in their future development. At the same time, he also told Sun Jihai a few ways to extend his career.

After dinner, David Jones drove Glinson and Barton to the airport.

"What's the relationship between you?"

From Shi Liansheng's attitude, it is not difficult to find that he cares about Yu Liang very much.

And from their conversation, it can be seen that their relationship is very familiar.

After Shi Liansheng left, Sun Jihai put his arm around Yu Liang's shoulders and asked directly.

"It doesn't matter! The relationship between the manager and the players, it's as simple as that! ”

Although what Yu Liang said was the truth, Sun Jihai was still skeptical, but he didn't continue to ask.

After chatting for a while in the hotel, they dispersed.

After a long flight, Slynson and Barton boarded a plane and set foot on South African soil.

After a day of rest in Durban, the draw for the World Cup qualifiers in South Africa officially began, and the first draw to take place after the meeting was the Asian zone. So it will soon be able to decide the fate of the Chinese team.

After the hour-long meeting, the draw ceremony officially began.

The draw for the Asian zone started first, and the top 20 in the Asian zone were first divided, and the brackets were based on the latest ranking of the teams.

The first teams to come out of Pot 1 are Australia, South Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Japan.

China are placed in Pot 2, along with Bahrain, Uzbekistan, Kuwait and North Korea.

The third bracket is Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. Pot 4 teams are Qatar, Syria, Thailand, Turkmenistan and Singapore.

As soon as the classification came out, Shi Liansheng frowned.

He really doesn't understand why the Chinese team has entered the second pot, such as the top-ranked Iraq and Oman have been placed in the third pot, and Qatar, which has similar points, has been directly placed in the fourth pot, they are all strong contenders for the Chinese team to advance to the top 10.

With a sigh, Shi Liansheng continued to wait for the results of the draw.

The top 20 in Asia will be divided into five groups, with the top two teams from each group advancing directly to the top 10. The first team to draw was the team in Pot 4, and the lottery guests were directly drawn out of Qatar and were placed in Group A. Thailand then fell to Group B, Turkmenistan in Group C, Singapore in Group D, and Syria in Group E.

After the team in Pot 4 is drawn, it is the team in Pot 3.

Iraq, the strongest team in Pot 3 was drawn in Group A. There was an uproar in the stadium, and no matter who teams were in Pot 2 and Pot 1 next, Group A was undoubtedly the Group of Death in the Asian Top 20.

Oman is in Group B, Jordan is in Group C, Lebanon is in Group D and the UAE is in Group E.

The UAE is not weak, Syria is not very bad, and Group E, although not as fierce as Group A, is also a veritable group of death.

After drawing the third gear, the second gear will be drawn immediately.

Watching Ali Daei, a famous player from Iranian football, put his hand into the basin and stirred the ball, Shi Liansheng became nervous. According to his wishes, he wants the Chinese team to be divided into these three groups in the BCD.

After two stirring strokes, Ali Daei took out a small ball, unscrewed it, and opened the note.

"China!"

After reading it, he gestured to everyone.

"China is in Group A!"

Although he was not satisfied with this grouping of 10,000 in his heart, Shi Liansheng's face still showed a trademark smile, so that no one knew what he was thinking.

Pot 2 teams were drawn quickly, with Bahrain in Group B, North Korea in Group C, Uzbekistan in Group D and Kuwait in Group E.

The draw for Pot 1 also ended quickly, with Australia in Group A, which formed a veritable group of death. This was followed by Japan in Group B, South Korea in Group C, Saudi Arabia in Group D, and Iran in Group E.

Australia, China, Iraq, Qatar.

As soon as such a grouping came out, the hearts of domestic fans were cold.

In such a group of death, can the Chinese team stand out and reach the top 10? It is another big challenge for Shi Liansheng. (To be continued.) )
